Gordon* and Gregory J. Kubas* Chemistry Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545, United States Received May 6, 2010 Relatively recent developments in metalloenzyme and organometallic chemistry have targeted a growing link between these outwardly incongruous fields, giving birth to a merger now popularly termed “bio-organometallic” chemistry. The astonishing discovery of CO and CN ligands bound to dinuclear iron sites in billion-year-old hydrogenase enzymes has led to a new paradigm and triggered an explosion of research on bioinspired chemistry. The article will focus on the impressive array of organometallic chemistry principles that work in concert in the structure and function of H2ases. Molecular H2 is at the forefront of bioinspired energy, and its production and storage are critical for renewable energy systems. Biomimetic inorganic chemistry and photochemistry involving water splitting for H2 production has erupted in the past decade and will also be reflected upon here. I.

  • Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc
    Metal-Metal (MM) Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc Richard H. Duncan Lyngdoh*,a, Henry F. Schaefer III*,b and R. Bruce King*,b a Department of Chemistry, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong 793022, India B Centre for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens GA 30602 ABSTRACT: This survey of metal-metal (MM) bond distances in binuclear complexes of the first row 3d-block elements reviews experimental and computational research on a wide range of such systems. The metals surveyed are titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc, representing the only comprehensive presentation of such results to date. Factors impacting MM bond lengths that are discussed here include (a) n+ the formal MM bond order, (b) size of the metal ion present in the bimetallic core (M2) , (c) the metal oxidation state, (d) effects of ligand basicity, coordination mode and number, and (e) steric effects of bulky ligands. Correlations between experimental and computational findings are examined wherever possible, often yielding good agreement for MM bond lengths. The formal bond order provides a key basis for assessing experimental and computationally derived MM bond lengths. The effects of change in the metal upon MM bond length ranges in binuclear complexes suggest trends for single, double, triple, and quadruple MM bonds which are related to the available information on metal atomic radii. It emerges that while specific factors for a limited range of complexes are found to have their expected impact in many cases, the assessment of the net effect of these factors is challenging.

Although the experimental synthetic protocol is well- established, the underlying mechanism for transmetalation is still unknown. In this work, we propose two different solvent-mediated reaction paths for the Ni transmetalation in Zn- MOF-5 lattices through density functional theory simulations. In both mechanisms, the bond strength between the exchanged metal and the solvent is the key descriptor that controls the degree of transmetalation. We also show that the role of the solvent in this process is twofold: it initially promotes Zn exchange, but if the metal−solvent bond is too strong, it blocks the second transmetalation cycle by restricting the lattice flexibility. The competition between these two effects leads the degree of incorporation of metal into MOF-5 to display a volcano-type dependence with respect to the metal−solvent bond strength for different transition metal ions. ■ INTRODUCTION PSIM.26 Nevertheless, the dependence on the ligand field was The easiness with which metal−organic frameworks (MOFs)1 found to be opposite for Ni inserting into MOF-5 and Co into MFU-4l.

Institute of Organic Chemistry, RWTH Aachen University, Landoltweg doi:10.1186/1860-5397-3-22 1, D-52074 Aachen, Germany Received: 25 June 2007 Email: Accepted: 28 August 2007 Lukas Hintermann - [email protected] Published: 28 August 2007 © 2007 Hintermann; licensee Beilstein-Institut License and terms: see end of document. Abstract The 1,3-diaryl-imidazolium chlorides IPr·HCl (aryl = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl), IMes·HCl (aryl = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) and IXy·HCl (aryl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl), precursors to widely used N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands and catalysts, were prepared in high yields (81%, 69% and 89%, respectively) by the reaction of 1,4-diaryl-1, 4-diazabutadienes, paraformaldehyde and chloro- trimethylsilane in dilute ethyl acetate solution. A reaction mechanism involving a 1,5-dipolar electrocyclization is proposed. Background Imidazolylidene carbenes have been investigated as ligands in coordination chemistry, as powerful steering/controlling elements in transition-metal catalysis,[1,2] and more recently as metal-free catalysts for organic reactions[3,4]. Some prominent members of the family of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) are the sterically encumbered imidazolylidenes IPr and IMes (Figure 1), which can also be considered as analogues of bulky and electron-rich tertiary phosphanes. In contrast to the latter, their synthesis does not involve air-sensitive or pyrophoric organometallic reagents, and they are conveniently stored and used in the form of their air-stable precursors, namely the imidazolium salts IPr·HCl (1,3-bis-{2,6- diisopropylphenyl}imidazolium chloride; 1) or IMes·HCl (1,3- bis-{2,4,6-trimethylphenyl}imidazolium chloride; 2) (Figure 1).

Vyas Master of Sci~nce in Chemistry Youngstown State University, 1972 This investigation describes the preparation and properties of complexes of the metals copper, silver, gold, zinc, cadmium, mercury, and nickel with di tertiary phos­ phine and ditertiary arsine ligands. The experimental work done is described in three parts: (a) Triphenylphosphine complexes. Some of these have been reported in the literature. Triphenylphosphine complexes of zinc, mercury, copper, and silver have been made either in the molten state1 by heating a mixture of metal halides and triphenylphosphine, or by mixing hot alcoholic solutions of the reactants. 2 Analytical infor­ mation is either completely lacking or at best is only partially reported.
