Title: Controlled Expansion of a Strong‐Field Iron Nitride Cluster: Multi‐Site Ligand Substitution as a Strategy for Activating Interstitial Nitride Nucleophilicity

Abstract

Abstract Multimetallic clusters have long been investigated as molecular surrogates for reactive sites on metal surfaces. In the case of the μ ₄ ‐nitrido cluster [Fe ₄ (μ ₄ ‐N)(CO) ₁₂ ] ⁻ , this analogy is limited owing to the electron‐withdrawing effect of carbonyl ligands on the iron nitride core. Described here is the synthesis and reactivity of [Fe ₄ (μ ₄ ‐N)(CO) ₈ (CNAr ^Mes2 ) ₄ ] ⁻ , an electron‐rich analogue of [Fe ₄ (μ ₄ ‐N)(CO) ₁₂ ] ⁻ , where the interstitial nitride displays significant nucleophilicity. This characteristic enables rational expansion with main‐group and transition‐metal centers to yield unsaturated sites. The resulting clusters display surface‐like reactivity through coordination‐sphere‐dependent atom rearrangement and metal–metal cooperativity.

A Well-Defined Isocyano Analogue of HCo(CO) ₄ . 2: Relative Brønsted Acidity as a Function of Isocyanide Ligation

Journal Article Carpenter, Alex E. ; Chan, Chinglin ; Rheingold, Arnold L. ; ... - Organometallics

The m-terphenyl isocyanide complex, HCo(CNAr^Mes2)₄ (Ar^Mes2 = 2,6-(2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂)₂C₆H₃), serves as a unique example of a well-defined isocyano analogue to HCo(CO)₄. Given the well documented Brønsted acidity of HCo(CO)₄ in both protic and nonprotic media, the Brønsted acidity of HCo(CNAr^Mes2)₄ was assessed for a quantitative comparison. Acid bracketing experiments in THF solution revealed that HCo(CNAr^Mes2)₄ has a Morris relative pK_α ^THF value of 38.5-40.7, which is considerably higher than that of HCo(CO)₄ (pK_α ^THF _(calc) = 11.4) and thereby indicates insignificant Brønsted acidity. Furthermore, the relative acidity of HCo(CNAr^Mes2)₄ rivals that of tetra-phosphine cobalt hydrides (i.e., HCo(PR₃)₄; pK_α ^THF _(calc) ≥more »« less

Metal-only Lewis pairs between group 10 metals and Tl(I) or Ag(I): insights into the electronic consequences of Z-type ligand binding

Journal Article Barnett, Brandon R. ; Moore, Curtis E. ; Chandrasekaran, Perumalreddy ; ... - Chemical Science

Complexes bearing electron rich transition metal centers, especially those displaying coordinative unsaturation, are well-suited to form reverse-dative σ-interactions with Lewis acids. Herein we demonstrate the generality of zerovalent, group 10 m-terphenyl isocyanide complexes to form reverse-dative σ-interactions to Tl(I) and Ag(I) centers. Structural and spectroscopic investigations of these metal-only Lewis pairs (MOLPs) has allowed insight into the electronic consequences of Lewis-acid ligation within the primary coordination sphere of a transition metal center. Treatment of the bis-isocyanide complex, Pt(CNAr^Dipp2)₂ (Ar^Dipp2 = 2,6-(2,6-(i-Pr)₂C₆H₃)₂C₆H₃) with TlOTf (OTf = [O₃SCF₃]^–) yields the Pt/Tl MOLP [TlPt(CNAr^Dipp2)₂]OTf (1). ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopic studies on 1,more »« less

Kinetics studies of the reaction of the triruthenium cluster Ru[sub 3](CO)[sub 12] with the [open quotes]highly dissociated[close quotes] chloride salt [PPN]Cl to give the Ru[sub 3](CO)[sub 11]Cl[sup [minus]] anion in THF/CH[sub 2]Cl[sub 2] solutions show a rate law first order in [Cl[sup [minus]]] and in [Ru[sub 3](CO)[sub 12]].
