This is due to the dimerization of free carbene ligands, the moisture sensitivity of reaction intermediates or reagents, and challenges associated with the workup procedure. Herein, we report a general route using transmetalation from magnesium–NHCs. Notably, this route gives access to transition-metal complexes in quantitative conversion without the formation of byproducts. It therefore produces transition-metal complexes outperforming the conventional routes based on free or lithium-coordinated carbene, silver complexes, or in situ metalation in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). We therefore propose transmetalation from magnesium–NHCs as a convenient and general route to obtain NHC complexes. Keywords: NHC; transmetalation; magnesium; palladium; carbene 1. Introduction N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands have become the powerhouse of modern transition metal chemistry [1–13]. This is largely due to the ease of tuning their electronic and steric properties targeting a specific application. After Arduengo’s report on the first crystalline carbene [14], it became common belief that NHCs should be considered strong σ-donor ligands with negligible π-acceptor properties. However, it was later realized that the π-acceptor properties of ancillary carbene ligands are equally important [15]. This led to the design of π-electron-withdrawing carbenes such as Bertrand’s cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes (CAACs) [16–21], diamido carbenes (DACs) [22–25], or ferrocenium-decorated NHCs [26–29]. Also, NHCs with saturated backbones (saNHCs, imidazolidin-2-ylidenes) as well as benzannulated congeners (benzNHCs, benzimidazolin-2-ylidenes) show considerable backbonding capabilities. This is either due to the pyramidalization of the amino groups, which reduces the overlap with the π-system within the N-heterocycle, or to the π-acidic character of the benzannulated π-system. An excellent example of the importance of these π-effects is represented by conjugated organic singlet biradicaloids derived from carbene scaffolds, where the stability and electronic properties are largely dependent on the nature of the carbene [30–34]. Another outstanding example from transition metal chemistry is the capability of CAACs and saNHCs to stabilize low-valent metal complexes [35].

ABSTRACT A series of 1,3-disubstituted-2-imidazolium carboxylates, an adduct of CO2 and N-heterocyclic carbenes, was synthesized and characterized using single crystal X-ray, thermogravimetric, IR, and NMR analysis. The TGA analysis of the imidazolium carboxylates shows that as steric bulk on the N-substituent increases, the ability of the NHC-CO2 to decarboxylate increases. Single crystal X-ray analysis shows that the torsional angle of the carboxylate group and the C-CO2 bond length with respect to the imidazolium ring is dependent on the steric bulk of the N-substituent. Rotamers in the t unit cell of a single crystal of I BuPrCO2 (2f) indicate that the C-CO2 bond length increases as the N-substituents rotate toward the carboxylate moiety, which suggests that rotation of the N-substituents through the plane of the C-CO2 bond may be involved in the bond breaking event to release CO2.

  • The Chemistry of Carbene-Stabilized
    THE CHEMISTRY OF CARBENE-STABILIZED MAIN GROUP DIATOMIC ALLOTROPES by MARIHAM ABRAHAM (Under the Direction of Gregory H. Robinson) ABSTRACT The syntheses and molecular structures of carbene-stabilized arsenic derivatives of 1 1 i 1 1 AsCl3 (L :AsCl3 (1); L : = :C{N(2,6- Pr2C6H3)CH}2), and As2 (L :As–As:L (2)), are presented herein. The potassium graphite reduction of 1 afforded the carbene-stabilized diarsenic complex, 2. Notably, compound 2 is the first Lewis base stabilized diatomic molecule of the Group 13–15 elements, in the formal oxidation state of zero, in the fourth period or lower of the Periodic Table. Compound 2 contains one As–As σ-bond and two lone pairs of electrons on each arsenic atom. In an effort to study the chemistry of the electron-rich compound 2, it was combined with an electron-deficient Lewis acid, GaCl3. The addition of two equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in one-electron oxidation of 2 to 1 1 •+ – •+ – give [L :As As:L ] [GaCl4] (6 [GaCl4] ). Conversely, the addition of four equivalents of GaCl3 to 2 resulted in two- electron oxidation of 2 to give 1 1 2+ – 2+ – •+ [L :As=As:L ] [GaCl4 ]2 (6 [GaCl4 ]2). Strikingly, 6 represents the first arsenic radical to be structurally characterized in the solid state. The research project also explored the reactivity of carbene-stabilized disilicon, (L1:Si=Si:L1 (7)), with borane. The reaction of 7 with BH3·THF afforded two unique compounds: one containing a parent silylene (:SiH2) unit (8), and another containing a three-membered silylene ring (9).
