Brønsted‐Lowry Acid Strength of Metal Hydride and Dihydrogen Complexes Robert H. Morris* Department of Chemistry, University of Toronto, 80 Saint George St. Toronto, Ontario, M5S3H6, Canada Transition metal hydride complexes are usually amphoteric, not only acting as hydride donors, but also as Brønsted‐Lowry acids. A simple additive ligand acidity constant equation (LAC for short) allows the LAC estimation of the acid dissociation constant Ka of diamagnetic transition metal hydride and dihydrogen complexes. It is remarkably successful in systematizing diverse reports of over 450 reactions of acids with metal complexes and bases with metal hydrides and dihydrogen complexes, including LAC catalytic cycles where these reactions are proposed or observed. There are links between pKa and THF DCM MeCN pKa , pKa , pKa for neutral and cationic acids. For the groups from chromium to nickel, tables are LAC provided that order the acidity of metal hydride and dihydrogen complexes from most acidic (pKa ‐18) LAC to least acidic (pKa 50). Figures are constructed showing metal acids above the solvent pKa scales and organic acids below in order to summarize a large amount of information. Acid‐base features are analyzed for catalysts from chromium to gold for ionic hydrogenations, bifunctional catalysts for hydrogen oxidation and evolution electrocatalysis, H/D exchange, olefin hydrogenation and isomerization, hydrogenation of ketones, aldehydes, imines, and carbon dioxide, hydrogenases and their model complexes, and palladium catalysts with hydride intermediates.

This transformation has not previously been done catalytically and has not been done in practical manner with stepwise or stoichiometric processes. Building on the previous work of the Lambert lab on the metathesis of cyclopropene and an aldehyde using a hydrazine catalyst, this work discusses efforts to expand to the less stained norbornene. Computational and experimental studies on the catalytic cycle are discussed, including detailed experimental work on how various factors affect the difficult cycloreversion step. The second portion of this thesis details the use of chiral cyclopropenimine bases as catalysts for asymmetric Michael reactions. The Lambert lab has previously developed chiral cyclopropenimine bases for glycine imine nucleophiles. The scope of these catalysts was expanded to include glycine imine derivatives in which the nitrogen atom was replaced with a carbon atom, and to include imines derived from other amino acids. i Table of Contents List of Abbreviations…………………………………………………………………………..iv Part I: Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………… 1 Chapter 1 – Metathesis Reactions of Double Bonds………………………………………….. 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………. 1 Olefin Metathesis………………………………………………………………………… 2 Wittig Reaction…………………………………………………………………………... 6 Tebbe Olefination………………………………………………………………………... 9 Carbonyl-Olefin Metathesis…………………………………………………………….

Sharapa Chair of Theoretical Chemistry and Interdisciplinary Center for Molecular Materials, Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat Erlangen-Nürnberg, Egerlandstraße 3, 91058 Erlangen, Germany 3 Institute of Catalysis Research and Technology (IKFT), Hermann-von-Helmholtz-Platz 1, Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany, D-76344 ABSTRACT A superhalogen F@C20(CN)20 and a superalkali NC30H36 together with corresponding Brønsted superacid and superbase were designed and investigated on DFT and DLPNO-CCSD(T) levels of theory. Calculated compounds have outstanding properties (electron affinity, ionization energy, deprotonation energy, and proton affinity, respectively). We consider superacid H[F@C20(CN)20] to be able to protonate molecular nitrogen, while NC30H35 superbase should easily deprotonate SiH4. Neutral NC30H36 should form a metallic metamaterial with extreme properties like remarkable transparency to visible light due to infrared plasmonic wavelength. The stability of these structures is discussed, while some of the previous predictions concerning Brønsted superacids and superbases of record strength are doubted. The proton affinity limit was suggested for stable neutral Brønsted superbases. Introduction Traditionally, a superhalogen is a molecule with However, few of the known superhalogen and high electron affinity, which forms a stable superalkali neutral molecules are stable in 5-7 anion. A good example is AuF6 with electron condensed phase. For example, some anions affinity of about 8.2 eV.1 Just in the same way a were predicted to have vertical electron superalkali is a molecule with low ionization detachment energies above 13 eV,8,9 but the energy, which forms a stable cation.

    Chemistry in New Zealand October 2011 The Strongest Acid Christopher A. Reed Department of Chemistry, University of California, Riverside, California 92521, USA Article (e-mail: [email protected]) About the Author Chris Reed was born a kiwi to English parents in Auckland in 1947. He attended Dilworth School from 1956 to 1964 where his interest in chemistry was un- doubtedly stimulated by being entrusted with a key to the high school chemical stockroom. Nighttime experiments with white phosphorus led to the Headmaster administering six of the best. He obtained his BSc (1967), MSc (1st Class Hons., 1968) and PhD (1971) from The University of Auckland, doing thesis research on iridium organotransition metal chemistry with Professor Warren R. Roper FRS. This was followed by two years of postdoctoral study at Stanford Univer- sity with Professor James P. Collman working on picket fence porphyrin models for haemoglobin. In 1973 he joined the faculty of the University of Southern California, becoming Professor in 1979. After 25 years at USC, he moved to his present position of Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at UC-Riverside to build the Centre for s and p Block Chemistry. His present research interests focus on weakly coordinating anions, weakly coordinated ligands, acids, si- lylium ion chemistry, cationic catalysis and reactive cations across the periodic table. His earlier work included extensive studies in metalloporphyrin chemistry, models for dioxygen-binding copper proteins, spin-spin coupling phenomena including paramagnetic metal to ligand radical coupling, a Magnetochemi- cal alternative to the Spectrochemical Series, fullerene redox chemistry, fullerene-porphyrin supramolecular chemistry and metal-organic framework solids (MOFs).

  • Hydride Abstraction and Deprotonation – an Efficient Route to Low Co-Ordinate Phosphorus and Arsenic Species
    Hydride Abstraction and Deprotonation – an Efficient Route to Low Co-ordinate Phosphorus and Arsenic Species Laurence J. Taylor, Michael Bühl, Piotr Wawrzyniak, Brian A. Chalmers, J. Derek Woollins, Alexandra M. Z. Slawin, Amy L. Fuller and Petr Kilian* School of Chemistry, EastCHEM, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9ST, UK E-mail: [email protected] URL: http://chemistry.st-andrews.ac.uk/staff/pk/group/ Supporting information for this article is given via a link at the end of the document. Abstract Treatment of Acenap(PiPr2)(EH2) (Acenap = acenaphthene-5,6-diyl; 1a, E = As; 1b, E = P) with Ph3C·BF4 resulted in hydride abstraction to give [Acenap(PiPr2)(EH)][BF4] (2a, E = As; 2b, E = P). These represent the first structurally characterised phosphino/arsino-phosphonium salts with secondary arsine/phosphine groups, as well as the first example of a Lewis base stabilised primary arsenium cation. Compounds 2a and 2b were deprotonated with NaH to afford low co-ordinate species Acenap(PiPr2)(E) (3a, E = As; 3b, E = P). This provides an alternative and practical synthetic pathway to the phosphanylidene-σ4-phosphorane 3b and provides mechanistic insight into the formation of arsanylidene-σ4-phosphorane 3a, indirectly supporting the hypothesis that the previously reported dehydrogenation of 1a occurs via an ionic mechanism. Introduction 4 Alkylidene-σ -phosphoranes (R2C=PR3), more commonly known as Wittig reagents, are widely used intermediates in the formation of C=C double bonds. The arsenic and phosphorus equivalents, 4 4 arsanylidene-σ -phosphoranes (RAs=PR3) and phosphanylidene-σ -phosphoranes (RP=PR3), are rare 4 by comparison.

  • Introduction to Ionic Mechanisms Part I: Fundamentals of Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base Chemistry
    INTRODUCTION TO IONIC MECHANISMS PART I: FUNDAMENTALS OF BRONSTED-LOWRY ACID-BASE CHEMISTRY HYDROGEN ATOMS AND PROTONS IN ORGANIC MOLECULES - A hydrogen atom that has lost its only electron is sometimes referred to as a proton. That is because once the electron is lost, all that remains is the nucleus, which in the case of hydrogen consists of only one proton. The large majority of organic reactions, or transformations, involve breaking old bonds and forming new ones. If a covalent bond is broken heterolytically, the products are ions. In the following example, the bond between carbon and oxygen in the t-butyl alcohol molecule breaks to yield a carbocation and hydroxide ion. H3C CH3 H3C OH H3C + OH CH3 H3C A tertiary Hydroxide carbocation ion The full-headed curved arrow is being used to indicate the movement of an electron pair. In this case, the two electrons that make up the carbon-oxygen bond move towards the oxygen. The bond breaks, leaving the carbon with a positive charge, and the oxygen with a negative charge. In the absence of other factors, it is the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms that drives the direction of electron movement. When pushing arrows, remember that electrons move towards electronegative atoms, or towards areas of electron deficiency (positive, or partial positive charges). The electron pair moves towards the oxygen because it is the more electronegative of the two atoms. If we examine the outcome of heterolytic bond cleavage between oxygen and hydrogen, we see that, once again, oxygen takes the two electrons because it is the more electronegative atom.
