  • Organometallic and Catalysis
    ORGANOMETALLIC AND CATALYSIS Dr. Malay Dolai, Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, Prabhat Kumar College, Contai, Purba Medinipur-721404, WB, India. 1.Introduction Organometallic chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds, chemical compounds containing at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom of an organic molecule and a metal, including alkaline, alkaline earth, and transition metals, and sometimes broadened to include metalloids like boron, silicon, and tin, as well. Aside from bonds to organyl fragments or molecules, bonds to 'inorganic' carbon, like carbon monoxide (metal carbonyls), cyanide, or carbide, are generally considered to be organometallic as well. Some related compounds such as transition metal hydrides and metal phosphine complexes are often included in discussions of organometallic compounds, though strictly speaking, they are not necessarily organometallic. The related but distinct term "metalorganic compound" refers to metal-containing compounds lacking direct metal-carbon bonds but which contain organic ligands. In 1827, Zeise's salt is the first platinum- olefin complex: K[PtCl3(C2H4)].H2O, the first invented organometallic compound. Organometallic compounds find wide use in commercial reactions, both as homogeneous catalysis and as stoichiometric reagents For instance, organolithium, organomagnesium, and organoaluminium compounds, examples of which are highly basic and highly reducing, are useful stoichiometrically, but also catalyze many polymerization reactions. Almost all processes involving carbon monoxide rely on catalysts, notable examples being described as carbonylations. The production of acetic acid from methanol and carbon monoxide is catalyzed via metal carbonyl complexes in the Monsanto process and Cativa process. Most synthetic aldehydes are produced via hydroformylation. The bulk of the synthetic alcohols, at least those larger than ethanol, are produced by hydrogenation of hydroformylation- derived aldehydes.

D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 2 MODULE 1: METAL CARBONYLS LECTURE #1 1. INTRODUCTION: Justus von Liebig attempted initial experiments on reaction of carbon monoxide with metals in 1834. However, it was demonstrated later that the compound he claimed to be potassium carbonyl was not a metal carbonyl at all. After the synthesis of [PtCl2(CO)2] and [PtCl2(CO)]2 reported by Schutzenberger (1868) followed by [Ni(CO)4] reported by Mond et al (1890), Hieber prepared numerous compounds containing metal and carbon monoxide. Compounds having at least one bond between carbon and metal are known as organometallic compounds. Metal carbonyls are the transition metal complexes of carbon monoxide containing metal-carbon bond. Lone pair of electrons are available on both carbon and oxygen atoms of carbon monoxide ligand. However, as the carbon atoms donate electrons to the metal, these complexes are named as carbonyls. A variety of such complexes such as mono nuclear, poly nuclear, homoleptic and mixed ligand are known. These compounds are widely studied due to industrial importance, catalytic properties and structural interest. V. D. Bhatt / Selected topics in coordination chemistry / 3 Carbon monoxide is one of the most important π- acceptor ligand. Because of its π- acidity, carbon monoxide can stabilize zero formal oxidation state of metals in carbonyl complexes. 2. SYNTHESIS OF METAL CARBONYLS Following are some of the general methods of preparation of metal carbonyls.

  • The Photochemical Dimerization of Norbornadiene Using Chromium
    The photochemical dimerization of norbornadiene using chromium carbonyls by Brian Kellog Hill A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Chemistry Montana State University © Copyright by Brian Kellog Hill (1969) Abstract: Norbornadiene has previously been shown to undergo dimerization photochemically with Group VI and VIII and thermally with Group VIII unsubstituted metal carbonyls. Furthermore, diene-iron-tricarbonyls cause the reaction to be more stereospecific and give only two products instead of the usual eleven obtained using the unsubstituted metal carbonyls. To learn if this change in products was generally characteristic of unsubstituted and substituted metal carbonyls a series of chromium carbonyls were investigated. The products of the chromium metal carbonyls were three trans dimers, a saturated cage dimer and one ketone insertion product. A possible mechanism for the photochemical dimerization of norbornadiene using chromium hexacarbonyl and substituted chromium carbonyl as sensitizers was determined. A common intermediate for the reactions has been proposed.

  • Metal Carbonyls
    METAL CARBONYLS 1. Introduction Carbon monoxide [630-08-0] (qv), CO, the most important p-acceptor ligand, forms a host of neutral, anionic, and cationic transition-metal complexes. There is at least one known type of carbonyl derivative for every transition metal, as well as evidence supporting the existence of the carbonyls of some lanthanides (qv) and actinides, although often in combination with other ligands (see ACTINIDES AND TRANSACTINIDES;COORDINATION COMPOUNDS) (1). Carbonyls are involved in the preparation of high purity metals as in the Mond process for the extraction of nickel from its ores (see NICKEL AND NICKEL ALLOYS), in catalytic applications, and in the synthesis of organic compounds. Transition-metal carbonyls of the type Mx(CO)y,whereMisametalandx and y are integers, are referred to as binary (or homoleptic) compounds. Metal carbo- nyls are often used as starting materials in the preparation of complexes where the carbon monoxide is replaced by other ligands such as phosphines, arsines, hydrides, halides, and many chelating ligands (see CHELATING AGENTS) and unsa- turated organic ligands such as alkenes, alkynes and arenes. Substitution rates on some metal carbonyls such as those of Cr, Mo, W, and Mn can be easily mea- sured (2). Detailed mechanistic studies on metal carbonyls have become increas- ingly important in understanding the factors influencing ligand substitution processes, especially as they apply to catalytic activity. Complexes containing several metal atoms held together mainly by metal–metal bonding are termed clusters and they have received increasing attention for the interest in the rules governing the stoichiometry and structure as well as for possibilities in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis (see CATALYSIS).
