  • 1 Introduction to Early Main Group Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis
    1 1 Introduction to Early Main Group Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis Sjoerd Harder University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry, Egerlandstrasse 1, 91058 Erlangen, Germany 1.1 Introduction Although organometallic complexes of the early main groups are well known for their very high reactivity and challenging isolation, they are among the first stud- ied during the pioneering beginnings of the field. Their high nucleophilicity and Brønsted basicity have made them to what they are today: strong polar reagents that are indispensible in modern organic synthesis. It is exactly this high reactivity that has made them potent catalysts for organic transformations that are gener- ally catalyzed by transition metal complexes. Despite their lack of partially filled d-orbitals and their inability to switch reversibly between oxidation states, the scope of their application in catalysis is astounding. As the early main group metal catalysis only started to become popular since the beginning of this century, it is still a young field with ample opportunities for further development. This intro- ductory chapter is specifically written for new graduate students in the field. It gives a very compact overview of the history of early main group organometallic chemistry, synthetic methods, bonding and structures, analytical methods, solu- tion dynamics, and some preliminary low-valent chemistry. This forms the basis for understanding their use in catalysis for which the basic steps are described in the second part of this chapter. For further in-depth information, the reader is referred to the individual chapters in this book. 1.2 s-Block Organometallics 1.2.1 Short History The organometallic chemistry of the highly electropositive early main group metals could not have started without the isolation of these elements in the metallic state.

  • Crystal Field Theory (CFT)
    Crystal Field Theory (CFT) The bonding of transition metal complexes can be explained by two approaches: crystal field theory and molecular orbital theory. Molecular orbital theory takes a covalent approach, and considers the overlap of d-orbitals with orbitals on the ligands to form molecular orbitals; this is not covered on this site. Crystal field theory takes the ionic approach and considers the ligands as point charges around a central metal positive ion, ignoring any covalent interactions. The negative charge on the ligands is repelled by electrons in the d-orbitals of the metal. The orientation of the d orbitals with respect to the ligands around the central metal ion is important, and can be used to explain why the five d-orbitals are not degenerate (= at the same energy). Whether the d orbitals point along or in between the cartesian axes determines how the orbitals are split into groups of different energies. Why is it required? The valence bond approach could not explain the Electronic spectra, Magnetic moments, Reaction mechanisms of the complexes. Assumptions of CFT: 1. The central Metal cation is surrounded by ligand which contain one or more lone pair of electrons. 2. The ionic ligand (F-, Cl- etc.) are regarded as point charges and neutral molecules (H2O, NH3 etc.) as point dipoles. 3. The electrons of ligand does not enter metal orbital. Thus there is no orbital overlap takes place. 4. The bonding between metal and ligand is purely electrostatic i.e. only ionic interaction. The approach taken uses classical potential energy equations that take into account the attractive and repulsive interactions between charged particles (that is, Coulomb's Law interactions).

Curie, 75231 Paris Cedex 05, France Abstract: Water has attracted significant attention as an alternative solvent for transition- metal-catalyzed reactions. The use of water as solvent allows simplified procedures for sep- aration of the catalyst from the products and recycling of the catalyst. Water is an inexpen- sive reagent for the formation of oxygen-containing products such as alcohols. The use of water as a medium for promoting organometallic and organic reactions is also of great po- tential. This chapter will focus on old and recent developments in the design and applications of some catalytic reactions using aqueous-phase Pd, Rh, Pt, and Au complexes. Keywords: water; catalysis; palladium; gold; rhodium; potassium organotrifluoroborates; asymmetric 1,4-addition; recycling. INTRODUCTION Over the past few years, significant research has been directed toward the development of new tech- nologies for environmentally benign processes. The use of water as solvent in homogeneous metal-cat- alyzed reactions has gained increasing attention because of the potential environmental and economic benefits of replacing organic solvents with water. Indeed, water is an attractive solvent because it is in- expensive and nontoxic; the most attractive feature is its utility in the development of green and envi- ronmentally safe processes [1].

Published 2012 by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. j3 1 Introduction – Principles and Historical Landmarks of Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis Harald Gr€oger and Yasuhisa Asano 1.1 General Remarks Enzyme catalysis in organic synthesis – behind this term stands a technology that today is widely recognized as a first choice opportunity in the preparation of a wide range of chemical compounds. Notably, this is true not only for academic syntheses but also for industrial-scale applications [1]. For numerous molecules the synthetic routes based on enzyme catalysis have turned out to be competitive (and often superior!) compared with classic chemicalaswellaschemocatalyticsynthetic approaches. Thus, enzymatic catalysis is increasingly recognized by organic chemists in both academia and industry as an attractive synthetic tool besides the traditional organic disciplines such as classic synthesis, metal catalysis, and organocatalysis [2]. By means of enzymes a broad range of transformations relevant in organic chemistry can be catalyzed, including, for example, redox reactions, carbon–carbon bond forming reactions, and hydrolytic reactions. Nonetheless, for a long time enzyme catalysis was not realized as a first choice option in organic synthesis. Organic chemists did not use enzymes as catalysts for their envisioned syntheses because of observed (or assumed) disadvantages such as narrow substrate range, limited stability of enzymes under organic reaction conditions, low efficiency when using wild-type strains, and diluted substrate and product solutions, thus leading to non-satisfactory volumetric productivities.

  • Limitation of Crystal Field Theory the Main Drawback of the Crystal Field Theory Is That It Does Not Consider the Covalent Character in Metal-Ligand Bonding at All
    CHAPTER 7 Metal-Ligand Bonding: Limitation of Crystal Field Theory The main drawback of the crystal field theory is that it does not consider the covalent character in metal-ligand bonding at all. It treats the metal-ligand interaction in a purely electrostatic framework which is pretty far from reality. All the effects which originate from covalence cannot be explained by this theory. Therefore, the main limitations of crystal field theory can be concluded only after knowing the causes and magnitude of the covalence in the metal-ligand bonds. Evidences for the Covalent Character in Metal–Ligand Bond The crystal field theory considers the metal center as well as surrounding ligands as point charges and assumes that the interaction between them is 100% ionic. However, quite strong experimental evidences have proved that there is some covalent character too which cannot be ignored. Some of those experimental evidences are as follows: 1. The nephelauxetic effect: The electrons present in the partially filled d-orbitals of the metal center repel each other to produce a number of energy levels. The placement of these levels on the energy scale depends upon the arrangement of filled electrons. The energy of these levels can be given in terms of “Racah parameters” B and C (a measure of interelectronic repulsion). The energy difference between same multiplicity states is expressed in B and Dq while between different multiplicity states is given in term of B, Dq and C. It has been observed that the complexation of metal center always results in a decrease in interelectronic repulsion parameters which in turn also advocates a decrease in the repulsion between d-electron density.
