Synthesis, Properties, and Coordination Chemistry of t-Bu-Xantphos Ligands by Melanie Ruth Maria Nelson A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry. Victoria University of Wellington 2015 Abstract This thesis provides an account of research into a group of diphosphine ligands with a rigid xanthene backbone and tert-butyl substituents on the phosphorus atoms. The three ligands have different groups in the bridgehead position of the backbone (CMe2, SiMe2, or S) which change the natural (calculated) bite-angle of the ligand. The coordination chemistry of these t-Bu-xantphos ligands with late-transition metals has been investigated with a focus on metal complexes that may form in catalytic reactions. The three t-Bu-xantphos ligands were synthesised by lithiation of the backbone t using sec-butyllithium/TMEDA and treatment with P Bu2Cl. The natural bite- angles of the Ph-xantphos (111.89–114.18◦) and t-Bu-xantphos (126.80–127.56◦) ligands were calculated using DFT. The bite-angle of the t-Bu-xantphos ligands is larger due to the increased steric bulk of the tert-butyl substituents. The elec- tronic properties of the t-Bu-xantphos ligands were also investigated by synthesis 1 of their phosphine selenides. The values of J PSe (689.1–698.5 Hz) indicate that the t-Bu-xantphos ligands have a higher basicity than Ph-xantphos between PPh2Me and PMe3. The silver complexes, [Ag(t-Bu-xantphos)Cl] and [Ag(t-Bu-xantphos)]BF4 were synthesised with the t-Bu-xantphos ligands. In contrast to systems with phenyl phosphines, all species were monomeric. [Rh(t-Bu-xantphos)Cl] complexes were κ synthesised, which reacted with H2, forming [Rh(t-Bu-xantphos- P,O,P’)Cl(H)2] complexes, and with CO, forming [Rh(t-Bu-xantphos)(CO)2Cl] complexes. The [Rh(t-Bu-xantphos)Cl] species are air-sensitive readily forming [Rh(t-Bu-xant- 2 2 phos)Cl(η -O2)] complexes. The crystal structure of [Rh(t-Bu-xantphos)Cl(η -O2)], contained 15% of the dioxygen sites replaced with an oxo ligand. This is the first crystallographic evidence of a rhodium(III) oxo complex, and only the third rhodium oxo species reported. The coordination chemistry of the ligands with platinum(0) and palladium(0) showed some differences. [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos)(C2H4)] complexes were synthe- sised for all three ligands. However, reaction with [Pt(nb)3] produced a mixture of [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos)] and [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos)(nb)] for t-Bu-sixantphos and t-Bu- thixantphos. Although few examples of isolable [Pt(PP)] complexes with diphos- phines have been reported [Pt(t-Bu-thixantphos)] was isolated by removal of the norbornene. t-Bu-Xantphos formed small amounts of [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos)] ini- tially, which progressed to [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos)H]X. The analogous reactions with [Pd(nb)3] gave [Pd(t-Bu-xantphos)] and [Pd(t-Bu-xantphos)(nb)] complexes in all cases. [Pt(t-Bu-thixantphos)(C2H4)] and [M(t-Bu-thixantphos)] (M = Pd, Pt) react 2 with oxygen forming [Pt(t-Bu-thixantphos)(η -O2)], which reacts with CO to give [Pt(t-Bu-thixantphos-H-κ-C,P,P’)OH] through a series of intermediates. [M(t-Bu-xantphos)Cl2] (M = Pd, Pt) complexes were synthesised, showing ex- clusive trans coordination of the diphosphine ligands. The X-ray crystal struc- ◦ ture of [Pt(t-Bu-thixantphos)Cl2] has a bite-angle of 151.722(15) . This is the ◦ first [PtCl2(PP)] complex with a bite-angle between 114 and 171 . In polar sol- vents a chloride ligand dissociates from the [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos)Cl2] complexes producing [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos-κP,O,P’)Cl]+. The analogous [Pd(t-Bu-xantphos- κP,O,P’)Cl]+ complexes were formed by reaction of the dichlorides complexes κ + with NH4PF6. The [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos- P,O,P’)Me] pincer complexes were the only product from reaction with [Pt(C6H10)ClMe], with the stronger trans influ- ence of the methyl ligand promoting loss of the chloride. The formation of the pincer complexes was further explored using DFT. κ + The values of J PtC for the methyl carbons in the [Pt(t-Bu-xantphos- P,O,P’)Me] complexes, and J RhH for the hydride trans to the oxygen atom in the [Rh(t-Bu- κ xantphos- P,O,P’)Cl(H)2] complexes were largest for t-Bu-sixantphos, then t-Bu- thixantphos, then t-Bu-xantphos. The trans influence of the t-Bu-xantphos oxy- gen donor follows the trend t-Bu-sixantphos < t-Bu-thixantphos < t-Bu-xant- phos.

The enhancement of this operational temperature relies on a wise choice of the magnetic ion and the coordination environment. However, serendipity, oversimplified theories and chemical intuition have played the main role. In order to establish a powerful framework for statistically driven chemical design, we collected chemical and physical data for lanthanide-based nanomagnets to create a catalogue of over 1400 published experiments, developed an interactive dashboard (SIMDAVIS) to visualise the dataset, and applied inferential statistical analysis to it. We found that the effective energy barrier derived from the Arrhenius equation displays an excellent correlation with the magnetic memory, and that among all chemical families studied, only terbium bis-phthalocyaninato sandwiches and dysprosium metallocenes consistently present magnetic memory up to high temperature, but that there are some promising strategies for improvement.

Lewis base: electron pair donor egs. H2O, NH3 n+ Lewis acid: electron pair acceptor egs.

    Naming Coordination Compounds Author: Kit Mao Department of Chemistry, Washington University St. Louis, MO 63130 For information or comments on this tutorial, please contact K. Mao at [email protected]. Please click here for a pdf version of this tutorial. A coordination complex is a substance in which a metal atom or ion accepts electrons from (and thus associates with) a group of neutral molecules or anions called ligands. A complex can be an anion, a cation ion, or a neutral molecule. Coordination compounds are neutral substances (i.e. uncharged) in which at least one ion is present as a complex. You will learn more about coordination compounds in the lab lectures for experiment 5 in this course. The coordination compounds are named in the following way. (At the end of this tutorial, there are additional examples that demonstrate how coordination compounds are named.) A. When naming coordination compounds, always name the cation before the anion. This rule holds regardless of whether the complex ion is the cation or the anion. (This is just like naming an ionic compound.) B. In naming the complex ion: 1. Name the ligands first, in alphabetical order, and then name the metal atom or ion. Note: The metal atom or ion is written before the ligands in the chemical formula. 2. The names of some common ligands are listed in Table 1. · Anionic ligands end in “-o.” For anions that end in “-ide”(e.g. chloride, hydroxide), “-ate” (e.g. sulfate, nitrate), and “-ite” (e.g. nirite), change the endings as follows: -ide ® -o; e.g., chloride ® chloro and hydroxide ® hydroxo -ate ® -ato; e.g., sulfate ® sulfato and nitrate ® nitrato -ite ® -ito; e.g., nitrite ® nitrito · For neutral ligands, the common name of the molecule is used (e.g.

For instance, substituted tetrahydrothiophenes,[1] have received considerable attention due to their extremely wide-ranging chemical and biological applications.[2] These include their use as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors,[3] as an inhibitor of copper amine [4] [5] oxidases and as selective A3 agonists and antagonists. In addition, they have been utilized in chemical transformations, such as catalytic asymmetric epoxidation, catalytic intramolecular cyclopropanation, and asymmetric metal catalysis hydrogenation.[6] From a nanochemical perspective, the adsorption chemistries and physical properties of various thiophenes and tetrahydrothiophenes on gold surfaces have recently come to the fore.[7] Polythiophenes are also key compounds in modern materials research, currently utilised in for example the fabrication of semi-conducting, fluorescent, and electronic and optoelectronic materials.[8]In this work, metallation (exchange of a hydrogen atom with a metal atom) of the parent heterocycles, tetrahydrothiophene (THT) and thiophene is considered. Metallation is one of the most fundamental reactions in modern day synthesis and is a key tool in the preparation of functionalised aromatic and heterocyclic compounds.
