  • Toward Thermodynamically Stable Triplet Carbenes Yumiao Ma* BSJ Institute, Haidian, Beijing, 100084 Ymma@Bsj-Institute.Top Abstr
    Toward Thermodynamically Stable Triplet Carbenes Yumiao Ma* BSJ Institute, Haidian, Beijing, 100084 ymma@bsj-institute.top Abstract In sharp contrast to the widely studied and applied stable singlet carbenes, only several kinetically persistent triplet carbenes have been studied, and thermodynamically stable triplet carbenes are much less developed. With the Gibbs free energy of C-H bond insertion into methane as a probe, DFT calculations were employed to examine a variety of candidate molecules for stable triplet carbenes. Guided by these calculations, some molecules with significant stability against C-H insertion were designed by fine tuning of geometry and electronic structures. These compounds might be potential candidates for experimental development of stable triplet carbenes. Introduction Pioneered by Guy Bertrand, Armin Arduengo and others, stable singlet carbenes have been well developed since 1980s1-3, and have exhibited great importance as ligands, reagents, etc. On the other hand, stable, or even kinetically persistent triplet carbenes are still scarce. A persistent triplet carbene, 2, 2', 4, 4', 6, 6'-hexabromodiphenylcarbene, was reported by Hideo Tomioka et al in 19954, with a half-life at ~1 s. In 2001, persistent triplet carbene with half-life of 19 min at room temperature was reported5, which was a great breakthrough. Several other kinetically persistent triplet carbenes were also studied, and the half-life ranges from microseconds to a week6, 7. However, thermodynamically stable triplet carbenes are still unknown hitherto, to the best of our knowledge. In this work, a variety of potential candidates for stable triplet carbenes were designed and examined by quantum chemical calculations. Guided by calculations and rational design, some competitive candidates were obtained, which may be helpful for the development of stable triplet carbenes, and for the understanding of the chemical properties related to open shell organic compounds.

    Université de Montréal Synthesis of Transition Metal N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes and Applications in Catalysis Par Michael Holtz-Mulholland Département de chimie Faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales en vue de l’obtention du grade de philosophiæ doctor (Ph.D.) en chimie Août, 2014 © Michael Holtz-Mulholland, 2014 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales Cette thèse intitulée: Synthesis of Transition Metal N-Heterocyclic Carbene Complexes and Applications in Catalysis Présentée par: Michael Holtz-Mulholland A été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes: Pr. Davit Zargarian, président-rapporteur Pr. Shawn K. Collins, directeur de recherche Pr. André B. Charette, membre du jury Pr. Bruce A. Arndtsen, examinateur externe Pr. David Morse, représentant du doyen de la FAS Abstract A new class of C1-symmetric N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands has been developed. The new ligands exploit a biaryl methyne as a chiral relay, and an N-methyl group as a reactivity controlling element. The precursors for the new ligands were synthesized via a modular scheme that allows for facile diversification. Several of the new ligands were installed onto both copper and gold, generating mono N-heterocyclic carbene transition metal complexes. The new C1-symmetric copper complexes were tested as catalysts for the synthesis of binaphthols via the oxidative coupling of electron poor 2-naphthols. The new C1-symmetric ligands afforded higher yields than their C2-symmetric counterparts. During the course of the optimization, small molecule additives were found to modulate the reactivity of the copper catalyst.

These problems were prepared with reliance on fundamental topics that are traditionally covered in high school chemistry courses supplemented with six topics of advanced difficulty for the Theoretical part and one topic of advanced difficulty for the Practical part. These topics are listed under “Topics of Advanced Difficulty”, and their applications are given in the problems. In our experience each of these topics can be introduced in two to three hours. Whenever possible the relevance of the problem in the chemical sciences, and to the complex world in which we live, is given.

Yet, NHC-coated Au NPs have been seldom used in catalysis beyond hydrogenation chemistry. One challenge in this field has been to develop a platform that permits arbitrary ligand modification without having to compromise NP stability toward aggregation or leaching. Herein, we exploit the strategy of supported dendrimer-encapsulated metal clusters (DEMCs) to achieve aggregation-stable yet active heterogeneous Au NP catalysts with NHC ligands. Dendrimers function as aggregation-inhibitors during the NP synthesis, and NHCs, well-known for their strong attachment to the gold surface, provide a handle to modify the stereochemistry, stereoelectronics, and chemical functionality of the NP surface. Indeed, compared to “ligandless” Au NPs which are virtually inactive below 80 °C, the NHC-ligated Au NP catalysts enable a model lactonization reaction to proceed at 20 °C on the same time scale (hours). Based on Eyring analysis, proto-deauration is the turnover-limiting step accelerated by the NHC ligands.

  • Synthesis and Reactivity of Transition Metal and Main Group Hydrogenation Catalysts
    Synthesis and Reactivity of Transition Metal and Main Group Hydrogenation Catalysts by Eliar Mosaferi A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Eliar Mosaferi 2019 Synthesis and Reactivity of Transition Metal and Main Group Hydrogenation Catalysts Eliar Mosaferi Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Since its discovery by Paul Sabatier, catalytic hydrogenation of unsaturated substrates has become the single largest industrial process to date and encompasses the production of many products, such as foods, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and materials. Over the last century research in the area has predominantly focused on the use of transition metals such as palladium, platinum, rhodium, and ruthenium to develop heterogeneous and homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts. The research presented herein focuses on the use of ruthenium complexes bearing electron-rich phosphorylated N-heterocyclic carbene ligands as well as the development of main- group compounds for frustrated Lewis pair catalysis. Complexes [Ru(0)LL’2(CO)] and [RuHL2(CO)][Cl], where L = N-phosphorylated N- heterocyclic carbene (NHCP), and L’ = triphenylphosphine, were prepared as a mixture by treatment of RuHCl(CO)(PPh3)3 with excess NHCP carbene and separated by crystallization. The zero-valent complex [Ru(0)LL’2(CO)] was shown to undergo rapid oxidative addition to the corresponding Ru(II) species when treated with small molecules to afford complexes of the general type [RuHXLL’(CO)], where L = N-phosphorylated N-heterocyclic carbene, L = triphenylphosphine, and X = H, SiPh3, or Si(H)Ph2. ii The reaction of NHCP carbene with [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 resulted in the isolation of the piano- stool half-sandwich complex [RuCl2(p-cymene)(NHCP)] as well as an unusual arene-activated species.

LUCY VOJTOVÁ, Ph.D. SUPERVISOR BRNO 2008 2 ABSTRACT Synthesis of biocompatible and biodegradable polyesters applicable mainly in biomedicine uses mostly organometallic catalysts (based on Sn, Al etc.), which, however, could be deposited in a body after implantation of the polymeric material. Objective of the bachelor thesis is focused on the description of non-toxic carbene compounds utilizable as catalysts for ring opening polymerization of cyclic esters. Particularly properties and generation of metal-free N-heterocyclic carbenes are highlighted. Preparation of stable free N-heterocyclic carbene and its characterization was the main goal of the experimental work. Due to the high moisture and oxygen sensitivity of synthesized carbenes all procedures were done under the inert atmosphere using Schlenk’s techniques. The chemical structure of prepared 1,3-bis (2,6-diisopropylphenyl)4,4-dimethyl-imidazolin-2- ylidene was analyzed in term of 1H NMR spectroscopy. ABSTRAKT Dnešní doba je stále více zaměřena na výzkum biokompatibilních a biodegradabilních materiálů použitelných v medicíně.
