    Iridium Corroles: Synthesis, Properties, and Electronic Structure

    IRIDIUM CORROLES: SYNTHESIS, PROPERTIES, AND ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE Thesis by Joshua Palmer In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Ph. D., Chemistry CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Pasadena, California 2011 (Defended February 11, 2011) ii 2011 Joshua Palmer All Rights Reserved iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My graduate school experience was something of a festival of collaboration, so there are a great many people to thank for the existence of this thesis. First of all, I have to thank my advisor, Harry Gray, who rolled the dice on me when he barely had space and then let me do almost anything I wanted with my time in his lab. Harry has been a boon and an inspiration to generations of chemists young and old, and I’m proud to count myself among them. I also have to thank my thesis committee: John Bercaw, Brian Stoltz, and Jonas Peters. We didn’t meet very often, but I always got valuable scientific advice from them when we did. Additionally, I would like to acknowledge the aid of Zeev Gross, a professor at the Technion in Haifa, who initially got me interested in corroles and who always has time to discuss an idea, even if it’s just by e-mail. I also have to thank Jay Winkler, director of the Beckman Institute Laser Resource Center, who allowed me to utilize a broad array of extremely expensive laser instruments during my time at Caltech and even purchased one custom-made item for a set of experiments I wanted to perform. I’d like to acknowledge the ongoing influence of my wonderful undergraduate advisor, David I.

Applications range from the synthesis of new silicone materials, transforming hydrocarbon fuels to accessing new building blocks for pharmaceuticals. Our laboratory has been actively engaged in developing catalysts based on earth abundant elements rather than more traditionally deployed precious metals. The inspirations for this chemistry extend beyond catalyst cost; ultimately we aim to discover new reactivity that exploits the unique electronic structures of first row transition metals. My lecture will focus on two complementary approaches to this challenge. The first explores redox-active ligands, those that engage in reversible radical chemistry with the metal center, while the second employs a more traditional strong field ligand approach to engender more electron rich metal complexes. These two extremes define a continuum of reactivity ranging from new iron catalysts for commercial silicone production (Science 2012, 335, 567) to the asymmetric hydrogenation of alkenes (Science 2013, 342, 1054), C-H functionalization (J.
