Esteruelas,* Montserrat Oliván, and Enrique Oñate Departamento de Química Inorgánica – Instituto de Síntesis Química y Catálisis Homogénea (ISQCH) – Centro de Innova- ción en Química Avanzada (ORFEO-CINQA), Universidad de Zaragoza – CSIC, 50009 Zaragoza, Spain 3 i i ABSTRACT: Complex [RhCl(κ -P,O,P-{xant(P Pr2)2})] (1; xant(P Pr2)2 = 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) activates C(sp3)-Cl bonds of mono- and dichloroalkanes and catalyzes the dehalogenation of chloroalkanes and the homocoupling 3 i of benzyl chloride. Complex 1 reacts with chlorocyclohexane to give [RhHCl2(κ -P,O,P-{xant(P Pr2)2})] (2) and cyclohexene and promotes the dehalogenation of the chlorocycloalkane to cyclohexane using 2-propanol solutions of sodium formate as reducing 3 i agent. The oxidative addition of benzyl chloride to 1 leads to [Rh(CH2Ph)Cl2(κ -P,O,P-{xant(P Pr2)2})] (4). The dehalogenation of this chloroalkane with 2-propanol solutions of sodium formate, in the presence of 1, gives toluene and 1,2-diphenylethane. The latter is selectively formed with KOH instead of sodium formate. Complex 1 also reacts with trans-1,2-dichlorocyclohexane and 3 i dichloromethane. The reaction with the former gives [RhCl3(κ -P,O,P-{xant(P Pr2)2})] (5) and cyclohexene, whereas complex 1 3 i undergoes oxidative addition of dichloromethane to afford cis-dichloride-[Rh(CH2Cl)Cl2(κ -P,O,P-{xant(P Pr2)2})] (6a), which evolves into its isomer trans-dichloride 6b. The kinetic study of the overall process suggests that the oxidative addition is cis- concerted and the isomerization an intramolecular reaction which takes place through a σ-C-Cl intermediate with two confor- mations. implication in a wide range of interesting organic reactions,13 INTRODUCTION as well as in the dehydrocoupling and dehydropolymerization 14 Oxidative addition to transition metal complexes is one of of amine-boranes.

Thus, the C-Cl rupture is more challenging than the C-Br and C-I bonds activations. However, chlorides are most Scheme 1. C-Cl Bond Activation of Halogenated Arenes interesting to working due to lower cost and wider diversity. Most metal-promoted C-C coupling reactions involve aryl or alkenyl halides. Alkyl halides have been comparatively much less employed, particularly those bearing β-hydrogen atoms5 because of the resulting alkyl intermediates decompose by means of a β-hydride elimination reaction.

Neutral POP diphosphines are hemilabile pincer ligands, which have the ability of adapting their coordination mode to the requirements of the each particular species.11 As a conse- quence of this flexibility POP-rhodium derivatives are proving RESULTS AND DISCUSSION a noticeable efficiency in reactions of σ-bond activation12 with Monochloroalkanes. Complex 1 activates the C-Cl bond of noticeable attention as reducing agents in metal-mediated chlorocyclohexane. However, the presence of four β-hydrogen hydrodehalogenation reactions.17 atoms in the substrate destabilizes the resulting alkyl interme- diate, which undergoes a β-hydride elimination reaction (Scheme 2). Thus, complex 1 affords cyclohexene and the 3 i rhodium(III) monohydride [RhHCl2(κ -P,O,P-{xant(P Pr2)2})] (2) in chlorocyclohexane as solvent. According to the 31P{1H}NMR spectrum of the solution, the reaction is quanti- tative after 24 h, at 100 ºC. Attempts for detecting and charac- terizing the alkyl intermediate A were unsuccessful, even at room temperature. Under these conditions, complex 2 was also the only detected species, although its formation is excessively slow. Scheme 2. C-Cl Bond Activation of Chlorocyclohexane Figure 1.

This is also evident in the 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra of the crystals, in benzene-d6, at room temperature, which display two signals for the methyl groups of the phosphine isopropyl substituents (δ1H, 1.49 and 1.45; δ13C, 21.9 and 19.6) and a signal for the methyl substituents of the central heterocycle (δ1H,1.21; δ13C, 30.9). In agreement with the presence of the hydride, the 1H NMR spectrum contains at -19.79 ppm a dou- 1 2 blet of triplets with JH-Rh and JH-P coupling constants of 13.6 i and 11.5 Hz, respectively. As expected for equivalent P Pr2 groups, the 31P{1H} NMR spectrum shows at 42.2 ppm a 1 doublet, which display a typical JP-Rh(III) coupling constant of 98.9 Hz. Chlorocyclohexane reacts with sodium formate to give cy- clohexane, NaCl, and CO2, in the presence of 1 (eq 1). The dehalogenation is catalytic. Using 1.0 mol% of complex 1 and 1.2 equiv of sodium formate in 2-propanol, the cycloalkane is formed in 85% yield, after 24 h, under reflux. Acetone is not observed during the reaction, indicating that the solvent does not participate in the dehalogenation.

Both minima are very close in energy ( G = 1.7 kcal/mol) and are connected through a transition state, which lies only 1.9 kcal/mol above 1-s and 0.2 kcal/mol above 1-f. These very low barriers support a fast interconversion process, resembling a butterfly flapping, and the presence of both conformers in acetone solution. However, the 1-f ratio is so low that it is undetectable in the excitation and emission spectra of 1 in 2-MeTHF of diluted solutions (10−5 M) at 77 K, −3 while it is seen in more concentrated solutions (10 M).

From then on, the number of publications on organoplatinum complexes has more than doubled in each subsequent decade, and organoplatinum complexes have stretched into many fields of application today. This introduction to the Special Issue on “Organoplatinum Complexes” spans from the history of organoplatinum complexes to the seven manuscripts published in the frame of this Special Issue, representing some of these fields. Some say that the 1970s and 1980s of the last century were dull and boring. This might possibly be true for pop music or arts but surely not appropriate for organoplatinum complexes. Those were the days when organoplatinum chemistry received a real boost. Scientific giants, such as Joseph Chatt, F. Gordon A. Stone, Michael Green, Wolfgang Beck, Howard C. Clark, Richard J. Puddephatt, Umberto Belluco, Hans Albert Brune, and Bernard L. Shaw, were active at that time, together with the “next generation”, Martin A. Bennett, George M. Whitesides, Giovanni Natile, Rafael Uson, Raffaello Romeo, and Gerard van Koten, just to name a few.

However, many challenges remain. For instance, fluores- cence quenching often occurs due to the heavy-atom effect arising from the Pt(II)-based building block in Pt-based SCCs. Moreover, relatively few methods exist for tuning of the emission wavelength of discrete SCCs. Thus, it is still challenging to construct discrete SCCs with high fluorescence quantum yields and tunable fluorescence wavelengths. Here we report nine organoplatinum fluorescent metallacycles that exhibit high fluorescence quantum yields and tunable fluorescence wavelengths through simple regulation of their photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) properties. Moreover, 3D fluorescent films and fluorescent inks for inkjet printing were fabricated using these metal- lacycles. This work provides a strategy to solve the fluorescence quenching problem arising from the heavy-atom effect of Pt(II), and offers an alternative approach to tune the emission wavelengths of discrete SCCs in the same solvent. 1 Shanghai Key Laboratory of Green Chemistry and Chemical Processes, School of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering, East China Normal University, 3663N.

ABSTRACT: We report the first well-defined example of inter- computational study, we demonstrate the feasibility of concerted molecular aryl halide oxidative addition (OA) to Pt(II). Complexes Csp2-X OA to electron-rich Pt(II) complexes and extend this reac- of the type (IMes)PtMe2(L) and (IMes’)PtMe(L) (L = SMe2, pyri- tivity to several other L2PtMe2 complexes featuring common lig- dine; IMes = N,N-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; ands. IMes’ = cyclometalated IMes) undergo intermolecular OA of phe- nyl iodide (PhI) at 60 °C, producing toluene via reductive elimina- Scheme 1. Proposed catalytic cycle for methane functional- tion from a proposed Pt(IV)-phenyl species. Isolation of a model ization. Pt(IV) OA product provides evidence for a Pt(II)/(IV) pathway. The OA of PhI is not limited to Pt(II)-IMes complexes;analogous reactions also proceed with phosphine-ligated Pt(II) dialkyl com- plexes, demonstrating that this reaction is feasible for a variety of electron-rich Pt(II) complexes bearing labile ligands. Oxidative addition (OA) is a fundamental reaction that is a criti- cal step in catalytic processes such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling,1 Buchwald-Hartwig amination,2 olefin hydrogenation,3 and the Monsanto process.4 The OA of a variety of oxidants to low valent metals
