Title: Lewis Acid Supported Nickel Nitrenoids

Journal Article · · Angewandte Chemie

Abstract Metalation of the polynucleating ligand F,tbs LH 6 (1,3,5‐C 6 H 9 (NC 6 H 3 −4‐F−2‐NSiMe 2 t Bu) 3 ) with two equivalents of Zn(N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ) 2 affords the dinuclear product ( F,tbs LH 2 )Zn 2 ( 1 ), which can be further deprotonated to yield ( F,tbs L)Zn 2 Li 2 (OEt 2 ) 4 ( 2 ). Transmetalation of 2 with NiCl 2 (py) 2 yields the heterometallic, trinuclear cluster ( F,tbs L)Zn 2 Ni(py) ( 3 ). Reduction of 3 with KC 8 affords [KC 222 ][( F,tbs L)Zn 2 Ni] ( 4 ) which features a monovalent Ni centre. Addition of 1‐adamantyl azide to 4 generates the bridging μ 3 ‐nitrenoid adduct [K(THF) 3 ][( F,tbs L)Zn 2 Ni(μ 3 ‐NAd)] ( 5 ). EPR spectroscopy reveals that the anionic cluster possesses a doublet ground state ( S = ). Cyclic voltammetry of 5 reveals two fully reversible redox events. The dianionic nitrenoid [K 2 (THF) 9 ][( F,tbs L)Zn 2 Ni(μ 3 ‐NAd)] ( 6 ) was isolated and characterized while the neutral redox isomer was observed to undergo both intra‐ and intermolecular H‐atom abstraction processes. Ni K‐edge XAS studies suggest a divalent oxidation state for the Ni centres in both the monoanionic and dianionic [Zn 2 Ni] nitrenoid complexes. However, DFT analysis suggests Ni‐borne oxidation for 5 .
