  • Refereed, CHEMISTRY-A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, Chiral Dinuclear Eu-III, Tb-III, and Y-III Complexes Supported by P-Stereogenic Linear Tetraphosphine Tetraoxide, Tomoaki Tanase; Kanako Nakamae; Yume Okawa; Mami Hamada; Arimasa Matsumoto; Takayuki Nakajima; Takuya Nakashima; Tsuyoshi Kawai, A P-stereogenic linear tetraphosphine tetraoxide, (R,R)- or (S,S)-dpmppm(=O)(4), was synthesized to prepare C-2 dinuclear M(hfa)(3) complexes (M=Eu, Tb, Y) as the first example of lanthanide(III) complexes with P-chiral multidentate phosphine oxides. The mononuclear M(hfa)(3) complexes (M=Eu, Y) with a P-chiral diphosphine dioxide, tpdpb(=O)(2), were also prepared, and comparison of their photophysical properties for the Eu-III complexes revealed that significant chiral induction from the P-chiral centers arises on the achiral M(hfa)(3) units through intramolecular pi-pi stacking constraint in the dinuclear system., Feb. 2022, 28, 8, Scientific journal, 10.1002/chem.202104060
  • Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, American Chemical Society (ACS), Unsymmetric Dinuclear RhI2 and RhIRhIII Complexes Supported by Tetraphosphine Ligands and Their Reactivity of Oxidative Protonation and Reductive Dechlorination, Takayuki Nakajima; Mami Maeda; Aya Matsui; Mariko Nishigaki; Momoko Kotani; Tomoaki Tanase, Two linear tetradentate phosphine ligands, meso-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)CH2XCH2P(Ph)CH2PPh2 (X = CH2 (meso-dpmppp), NBn (meso-dpmppmNBn; Bn = benzyl)) were utilized to synthesize unsymmetrical dinuclear RhI complexes, [Rh2Cl2(meso-dpmppp)(L)] (L = XylNC (1a), CO (1b)) and [Rh2Cl2(meso-dpmppmNBn)(L)] (L = XylNC (1c), CO (1d)), where electron-deficient RhI → RhI centers with 30 valence electrons are supported by a tetraphosphine in an unusual cis-/trans-P,P coordination mode. The RhI dimers of 1a-d were treated with HCl under air to afford the RhI → RhIII dimers with 32 e-, [Rh2Cl4(meso-dpmppp)(L)] (L = XylNC (4a), CO (4b)) and [Rh2Cl4(meso-dpmppmNBn)(L)] (L = XylNC (4c), CO (4d)), via intermediate hydride complexes, [{RhCl2(μ-H)RhCl(L)}(meso-dpmppp)] (L = XylNC (2a), CO (2b)) and [{RhCl2(μ-H)RhCl(L)}(meso-dpmppmNBn)] (L = XylNC (2c), CO (2d)), and [{Rh(H)Cl2(μ-Cl)Rh(L)}(meso-dpmppp)] (L = XylNC (3a), CO (3b)) and [{Rh(H)Cl2(μ-Cl)Rh(L)}(meso-dpmppmNBn)] (L = XylNC (3c), CO (3d)). The hydride intermediates 2 and 3 were monitored under nitrogen by 1H{31P} and 31P{1H} NMR techniques to reveal two reaction pathways depending on the terminal auxiliary ligand L. Further, the reductive dechlorination converting RhIRhIII (4b,d) to RhI2 (1b,d) was accomplished with a CO terminal ligand by reacting with various amines that acted as one-electron reducing agents through an inner-sphere electron transfer mechanism. DFT calculations were performed to elucidate the electronic structures of 1a-d and 4a-d and to estimate the structures of the hydride intermediate complexes 2 and 3., 17 Jan. 2022, 61, 2, 1102, 1117, Scientific journal, True, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.1c03278

  • Refereed, Chemistry – A European Journal, Wiley, Octapalladium Strings Trap C60 and C70 Fullerenes Affording Metal‐Chain‐Wired Bucky Balls, Tomoaki Tanase; Kanako Nakamae; Yasutaka Kitagawa; Takayuki Nakajima, Reactions of Pd-8 strings supported by meso-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)CH2P(Ph)CH2PPh2 (meso-dpmppm) ligands, [Pd-8(meso-dpmppm)(4)(L)(2)](4+) (L=CH3CN (1), XylNC (2)) with C-60 resulted in the exclusive formation of unprecedented metal-chain-wired C-60 bucky balls, [{Pd-4(meso-dpmppm)(2)(L)}(2)(C-60)](4+) (L=CH3CN (11), XylNC (12)), in which a C-60 fullerene is trapped in the central Pd-Pd junction, as unambiguously established by spectroscopic, X-ray crystallographic, and theoretical techniques. The similar reaction of Pd-8 strings supported by rac-dpmppm, [Pd-8(rac-dpmppm)(4)(CH3CN)(2)](4+) (3) also afforded a racemic mixture of [{Pd-4((R*,R*)-dpmppm)(2)(CH3CN)}(2)(C-60)](4+) (13) without scrambling the Pd-4 fragments with (R,R)- and (S,S)-dpmppm ligands. Consequently, those of enantiopure chiral Pd-8 strings, [Pd-8((R*,R*)-dpmppm)(4)(CH3CN)(2)](4+), certainly afforded chiral bucky balls of [{Pd-4((R*,R*)-dpmppm)(2)(CH3CN)}(2)(C-60)](4+) (13(RR) and 13(SS)), that exhibit mirror-image circular dichroism spectra. The reactions of 1 and 2 were also applied for trapping a C-70 fullerene to give 2 : 1 adducts of [{Pd-4(meso-dpmppm)(2)(L)}(2)(C-70)](4+) (L=CH3CN (21), XylNC (22)). These results provide useful information for creating a platform to develop dimensionally and chirality controlled metal-carbon nanocomposite materials., 09 Sep. 2021, 27, 51, 12953, 12958, Scientific journal, 10.1002/chem.202102020
  • Refereed, Chemistry – A European Journal, Wiley, Fine Tunable, Redox Active Octapalladium Chains Supported by Linear Tetraphosphines, Leading to Dynamically 1D Self‐Assembled Coordination Polymers, Tomoaki Tanase; Kanako Nakamae; Haruka Miyano; Yasuyuki Ura; Yasutaka Kitagawa; Shiho Yada; Tomokazu Yoshimura; Takayuki Nakajima, A series of the octapalladium chains supported by meso-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)CH2P(Ph)CH2PPh2 (meso-dpmppm) ligands, [Pd8(meso-dpmppm)4(L)2](BF4)4 (L=none (1), solvents: CH3CN (2 a), dmf (2 b), dmso (2 c), RN≡C: R=Xyl (3 a), Mes (3 b), Dip (3 c), tBu (3 d), Cy (3 e), CH3(CH2)7 (3 f), CH3(CH2)11 (3 g), CH3(CH2)17 (3 h)) and [Pd8(meso-dpmppm)4(X)2](BF4)2 (X=Cl (4 a), N3 (4 b), CN (4 c), SCN (4 d)), were synthesized by using 2 a as a stable good precursor, and characterized by spectroscopic (IR, 1H and 31P NMR, UV-vis-NIR, ESI-MS) measurements and X-ray crystallographic analyses (for 1, 2 a, b, 3 a, b, e, f, 4 a–d). On the basis of DFT calculations on the X-ray determined structure of 2 b ([2b-Pd8]4+) and the optimized models [Pd8(meso-Ph2PCH2P(H)CH2P(H)CH2PH2)4(CH3CN)2]4+ ([Pd8Ph8]4+) and [Pd8(meso-H2PCH2P(H)CH2P(H)CH2PH2)4(CH3CN)2]4+ ([Pd8H8]4+), with and without empirically calculating dispersion force stabilization energy (B3LYP-D3, B3LYP), the formation energy between the two Pd4 fragments is assumed to involve mainly noncovalent interactions (ca. −70 kcal/mol) with four sets of interligand C−H/π interactions and Pd⋅⋅⋅Pd metallophilic one, while electron shared covalent interactions are almost canceled out within the Pd8 chain. All the compounds isolated are stable in solution and exhibit characteristic absorption at ∼900 nm, which is assignable to a spin allowed HOMO to LUMO transition, and shows temperature dependent intensity change with variable absorption coefficients presumably due to coupling with some thermal vibrations. The structures and electronic states of the Pd8 chains are found finely tunable by varying the terminal capping ligands. In particular, theoretical calculations elucidated that the HOMO-LUMO energy gap is systematically related to the central Pd−Pd distance (2.7319(6)–2.7575(6) Å) by two ways with neutral ligands L (1, 2, 3) and with anionic ligands X (4), which are reflected on the NIR absorption energy of 867–954 nm. The isocyanide terminated Pd8 complexes (3) further reacted with excess of RNC (6 eq) to afford the Pd4 complexes, [Pd4(meso-dpmppm)2(RNC)2](BF4)2 (13), and the cyclic voltammograms of 2 a (L=CH3CN), 3, and 13 (R=Xyl, Mes, tBu, Cy) demonstrated wide range redox behaviors from 2{Pd4}4+ to 2{Pd4}0 through 2{Pd4}2+↔{Pd8}4+, {Pd8}3+, and {Pd8}2+ strings. The oxidized complexes, [Pd4(meso-dpmppm)2(RNC)3](BF4)4 (16), were characterized by X-ray analyses, and the two-electron reduced chain of [Pd8(meso-dpmppm)4](BF4)2 (7) was analyzed by spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques and DFT calculations. Reactions of 2 a with 1 equiv. of aromatic linear bisisocyanide (BI) in CH2Cl2 deposited insoluble coordination polymers, {[Pd8(meso-dpmppm)4(BI)](BF4)4}n (5), and interestingly, they were soluble in acetonitrile, 31P{1H} and 1H DOSY NMR spectra as well as SAXS curves suggesting that the coordination polymers may exist in acetonitrile as dynamically 1D self-assembled coordination polymers comprising ca. 50 units of the Pd8 rod averaged within the timescale., 19 Aug. 2021, 27, 47, 12078, 12103, Scientific journal, 10.1002/chem.202101715
  • Refereed, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Elsevier BV, Tetranuclear Rh4 chains supported by meso-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)CH2P(Ph)CH2PPh2 (meso-dpmppm) capturing H2 to afford Rh4H3 hydride complexes, Tomoaki Tanase; Yuka Morita; Kazuki Sato; Risa Aoki; Akiko Yoshii; Kanako Nakamae; Yasuyuki Ura; Takayuki Nakajima, A linear tetraphosphine, meso-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)CH2P(Ph)CH2PPh2 (meso-dpmppm), was found to support a series of bent tetranuclear rhodium(I) arrays of [Rh4(μ−Cl)Cl2(CO)4(meso-dpmppm)2]Cl (1), [Rh4(μ−Cl)2(meso-dpmppm)2]X2 (X = PF6 (2a), BF4 (2b), TfO (2c), BPh4 (2d)), and [Rh4(μ−Cl)(CH3CN)2(CO)4(meso-dpmppm)2](TfO)3 (3) which are regarded as tetranuclear extended Vaska-type RhI complexes. Two meso-dpmppm ligands with mutual syn-arrangement established a flexible bending chains of {Rh4(meso-dpmppm)2}4+ which accommodated a variety of ligand sets of {(μ−Cl)Cl2(CO)4}3‒, {(μ−Cl)2(CO)4}2‒, and {(μ−Cl)(CH3CN)2(CO)4}‒ with Rh–Rh–Rh angles of 142.18(1)–161.54(1)°. The tetranuclear rhodium(I) core of 2 was interestingly reactive toward H2 (1 atm) under mild conditions at room temperature to afford {Rh4H3}3+ hydride complexes with linear RhI∙∙∙RhII–RhII∙∙∙RhI array, [Rh4(μ−Cl)2(μ−H)3(μ−CO)(CO)2(meso-dpmppm)2]X (X = PF6 (4a), BF4 (4b), TfO (4c)), where the positions of three hydride ligands were estimated with 1H, 1H{31P}, and 31P{1H} NMR spectra, a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, and DFT calculations. The linearly ordered {Rh4H3}3+ species that store four electrons from dihydrogen molecules is the first example of linear Rh hydride chains and would be useful platform for exploring cooperative reactions promoted by constrained multimetallic centers., May 2021, 939, 121771, 121771, Scientific journal, 10.1016/j.jorganchem.2021.121771
  • Refereed, Inorganic Chemistry, American Chemical Society (ACS), Chiral Octapalladium Chains Supported by Enantiopure P-Stereogenic Linear Tetraphosphines, (R,R)- and (S,S)-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)CH2P(Ph)CH2PPh2, Tomoaki Tanase; Kanako Nakamae; Suzui Hayashi; Ayumi Okue; Risa Otaki; Tomoko Nishida; Yasuyuki Ura; Yasutaka Kitagawa; Takayuki Nakajima, Binuclear Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes supported by rac-dpmppm (bis[(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphino]methane) in a triply-bridged Z-form, [M2Cl4(rac-dpmppm)] (M = Pd (3a), Pt (3b)), readily reacted with 2,6-xylyl isocyanide (XylNC) in the presence of NH4PF6 to afford [M2Cl2(rac-dpmppm)(XylNC)2](PF6)2 (M = Pd (4a), Pt (4b)), in which each metal center accommodates one isocyanide ligand at the trans position to the inner P atom of dpmppm. Similarly, treatment of 3a and 3b with axially chiral (R/S)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-bisisocyanide (rac-Binac) in the presence of NH4OTf gave cyclic tetranuclear complexes, [{M2Cl2(rac-dpmppm)(rac-Binac)}2](OTf)4 (M = Pd (5), Pt (8)), where two {M2Cl2(rac-dpmppm)}2+ fragments are connected by two rac-Binac ligands through chirality sorting of (R*,R*)-dpmppm and (R*)-Binac. Complex 5 could be transformed into the halide exchanged tetranuclear complexes, [{Pd2X2(rac-dpmppm)(rac-Binac)}2](OTf)4 (X = Br (6), I (7)), to show that the rectangular arrangement of four Pd(II) ions is elongated by repulsive interaction between halide ligands. By using (R)- and (S)-Binac, enantiopure Pd4 complexes, [{Pd2Cl2((R*,R*)-dpmppm)((R*)-Binac)}2](OTf)4 (5RR/R and 5SS/S), were successfully isolated as pure crystalline forms, from which enantiopure (R,R)- and (S,S)-dpmppm were obtained by treatment with NaCN aqueous solution. Namely, optical resolution of rac-dpmppm was established through the tetranuclear Pd complexes, which is the first example for methylene-bridged polyphosphines, R2P(CH2PR)nCH2PR2 (n > 0). Furthermore, chiral octapalladium chains, [Pd8((R*,R*)-dpmppm)4(NCCH3)2](BF4)4 (2RR and 2SS), were synthesized by reacting enantiopure P-chiral dpmppm with [Pd2(CH3CN)6](BF4)2 and [Pd2(dba)3]·C6H6 and were characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analyses, to determine the absolute configurational structures. The Pd8 chains are the longest enantiopure chiral single-metal-atom chains structurally characterized, thus far, and the electronic structures were examined on the basis of DFT calculations of 2RR., 01 Mar. 2021, 60, 5, 3259, 3273, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.0c03684

Reaction of AgOTf with a tetraphosphine, rac-bis[(diphenylphosphinomethyl) phenylphosphino]methane (rac-dpmppm), afforded [Ag4(rac-dpmppm)2](TfO)4 (3) which consists of zigzag-arrayed tetranuclear silver(I) ions supported by syn-arrangement of two enantiomeric (RR/SS) dpmppm ligands. Complex 3 readily reacted with XylNC (Xyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl) to give [Ag4(rac-dpmppm)2(XylNC)2](TfO)4 (4), where two terminal isocyanides attach to the outer Ag sites. Complex 3 has been shown a good precursor for Pt-Ag-Ag-Pt mixed metal array as incubation of 3 with trans-[Pt(C[tbnd]CPh)2(PPh3)2] yielded [Ag2Pt2(C[tbnd]CPh)4(rac-dpmppm)2](TfO)2 (5). Two trans-Pt(C[tbnd]CPh)2 units are incorporated into the terminal positions in a site-selective fashion and the Pt-Ag-Ag-Pt tetranuclear core also adopts a zigzag array supported by syn-arrangement of two rac-dpmppm ligands. The d8 and d10 closed-shell mixed metal centers of 5 exhibited an intense photoluminescence at 534 nm, mainly from an unsymmetric triplet state generated by charge transfer transitions from ligand (acetylide π) to metal centers (Ag2 and PtAg s/pσ), 3LMCT, and to ligands (acetylide π* and dpmppm), 3LLCT. The present results provide fundamental and useful information to construct multinuclear closed-shell metal alignments by utilizing polyphosphine ligands., Oct. 2020, 925, 121488, 121488, Scientific journal, 10.1016/j.jorganchem.2020.121488

Tanase, © 2019 The Royal Society of Chemistry. Multinuclear copper hydride complexes were synthesized by using a triphosphine, bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphine (dpmp). The reaction of [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6 with dpmp in 2:1 ratio in the presence of Me4NBH4 or NaBH4 yielded a hexanuclear complex, [Cu6(μ3-H)5(μ-dpmp)3]PF6 (1), together with a minor product [Cu8(μ-H)2(μ4-H)4(μ-dpmp)4](PF6)2 (2) in a very low yield. Complex 1 was also prepared from [CuH(PPh3)]6, [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6, and dpmp in 87%, but the yield of 2 could not be improved presumably due to its instability in solution. A tetranuclear complex, [Cu4(μ-H)(μ3-H)2(μ-dpmp)3]PF6 (4), was obtained from the reaction of [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6 with dpmp in 4:3 ratio, or that of [Cu3(μ-dpmp)2(MeCN)4](PF6)3 (3) and dpmp, in the presence of Me4NBH4 for both cases. The structures of 1, 2, and 4 were determined by X-ray crystallography, and the positions of hydride ligands were elucidated by DFT optimization. Complex 1 consists of a distorted trigonal anti-prismatic Cu6 core bridged by three L-shaped dpmp ligands and five μ3-hydrides, and 2 is composed of three edge-shared tetrahedral Cu4 units supported by four L-shaped dpmp ligands and two μ2-hydrides in the two outer Cu4 units and four μ4-hydride ligands in the central Cu4 units. The structures of two outer Cu4 units in 2 resemble those of 4, where a Cu4 tetrahedron is supported by two L-shaped dpmp ligands and one dpmp-κ2P,P′ bridge, in addition to one μ2- and two μ3-hydrides. Natural bond orbital analyses suggest that the hydrides act as glue between the multinuclear copper centres through electron-deficient delocalized bonding interactions, which result in partial electron migration from hydrides to CuI centres., Jul. 2019, 48, 32, 12050, 12059, Scientific journal, 10.1039/C9DT02467K

KGaA, Weinheim A new linear tetraphosphine containing a PNP phosphazane bridge, rac-bis[(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphino]phenylamine (rac-dpmppan), was synthesized and utilized to support a series of Pd/Pt mixed metal tetranuclear chains, [Pd4−nPtn(μ-rac-dpmppan)2(XylNC)2](PF6)2 (XylNC=xylyl isocyanide; n=0: Pd4 (1), 1: PtPd3 (2), 2: PtPd2Pt (3), 2: Pt2Pd2 (4), 3: Pt2PdPt (5)), in which the number and positions of additional Pt atoms were successfully controlled depending on the respective synthetic procedures using transformations from 1 to 3 through 2 and from 4 to 5 by redox-coupled exchange reactions. The 31P{1H} NMR and ESI mass spectra and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed almost identical tetranuclear structures, with slight contraction of metal-metal bonds according to incorporation of Pt atoms. The electronic absorption spectra of 1–5 exhibited characteristic bands at 635–510 nm with an energy propensity depending on the number and positions of Pt centres, which were assigned to HOMO (dσ*σσ*) to LUMO (dσ*σ*σ*) transition by theoretical calculations.

Three types of tetradentate phosphine ligands with different central methylene chains and configurations, meso- and rac-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)(CH2)nP(Ph)CH2PPh2 (n = 2, meso- and rac-dpmppe; n = 3, meso-dpmppp) were utilized to synthesize a new series of tri- and tetranuclear copper hydride complexes. Reactions of meso-dpmppe or meso-dpmppp with CuCl/NH4PF6 or [Cu(CH3CN)4]PF6 in the presence of NaBH4 afforded trinuclear copper hydride complexes, [Cu3(μ3-H)(meso-dpmppe)2](PF6)2 (1) and [Cu3(μ3-H)(meso-dpmppp)2](PF6)2 (2), while a similar reaction with rac-dpmppe resulted in the formation of a tetranuclear copper dihydride complex, [Cu4(μ3-H)2(rac-dpmppe)2](PF6)2 (5). Complexes 1 and 5 further reacted with RNC (R = tBu, Cy, Xyl) to give [Cu3(μ3-H)(meso-dpmppe)2(XylNC)](PF6)2 (3), [Cu4(μ3-H)2(meso-dpmppe)2(RNC)2](PF6)2 (R = tBu (4a), Cy (4b)) and [Cu4(μ3-H)2(rac-dpmppe)2(RNC)2](PF6)2 (R = tBu (6a), Cy (6b), Xyl (6c)), respectively. Complexes 1-6 were characterized by ESI-MS and 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses, demonstrating that a hydride ligand is located at the center of triangular Cu3 plane of 1-3, while two μ3-hydride-capped Cu3 planes are fused to result in rhombic Cu4H2 structures in 4a,b, 5, and 6a-c. Complexes 1-6 in CD3CN solutions notably showed high thermal stability and no reactivity toward H2O and CO2. DFT calculations indicated an interesting correlation between the Wiberg bond indices (WBI) of Cu-H bonds and their natural atomic charge (NAC), where the isocyanide ligands had an appreciable influence on the Cu-H interactions., Sep. 2018, 57, 17, 11005, 11018, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b01628

The reactivities of 1 and 2 toward methyl iodide and tertiary hydrosilanes were examined. Complexes 1c, 2a, and 2b reacted with MeI to afford the oxidative addition products [Ni(mu-meppp)M(L)(2)(Me)(I)]PF6 [M = Rh, L = XylNC (3c); M = Ir, L = 1/2cod (4a)] and [Ni(mu-meppp)Ir(CO)(Me)(I)(2)] (5). In the reactions with hydrosilanes, only 2c exhibited an interesting reactivity to afford the Ni-II(mu-H)Ir-III silyl complexes [Ni(mu-meppp)(mu-H)Ir(XylNC)(2)(Si)]PF6 [Si = SiEt3 (6a), SiMe2Ph (6b), SiMePh2 (6c), SiPh3 (6d)]. The reaction proceeded via the intermediate isomers [Ni(meppp)(mu-H)Ir(XylNC)(2)(Si)]PF6 (7); intermediate 7d (Si = SiPh3) was characterized and has an Ni-II(mu-H)Ir-III silyl structure with the hydrido ligand nesting in the reverse side of the Ni(mu-S)(2)Ir pocket to that of 6d. These results demonstrated that the reactivities of the bis(thiolate)-bridged (NiMI)-M-II heterodinuclear complexes can be tuned by changing the metal ions and ancillary ligands. In addition, the S-bidentate NiP2S2 metalloligand [Ni(meppp)] plays an important role in the stabilization of the bridging hydrido ligand in both pockets of the Ni-II(mu-H)Ir-III core owing to the flexibility of the hinged Ni(mu-SR)(2)Ir structure., Sep. 2017, 35, 4097, 4109, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.201700682

The Cu8H6 complex showed facile reactivity with CO2 (1 atm, RT) to afford a tricopper complex, [Cu-3(m-H)(m-O2CH)(m-dppm)(3)] PF6, which could be developed to unprecedented hydrosilylation of CO2 catalyzed by multinuclear CuH species under mild conditions., Jul. 2017, 23, 40, 9457, 9461, Scientific journal, 10.1002/chem.201702071

Complex 5 is composed of linear trinuclear platinum centers supported by two dpmp ligands, {Pt-3(mu-dpmp) 2}(6+), which accommodate two terminal and two bridging hydrides in a HPtHPtHPtH zigzag structure. The hydride positions were deter-mined by DFT optimization with B3LYP/GD3BJ functionals. Variable- temperature H-1{P-31} NMR spectroscopy in [D7]DMF revealed that the bridging hydrides exhibit fluxional behavior and migrate along the Pt3 chain by switching the bridging site, whereas the terminal hydrides are not exchanged with the bridging ones. The present results suggest that the divalent linear triplatinum unit of {Pt-3(mu-dpmp)(2)}(2+) (Pt-3(II)), which is a building block to construct [Pt-6(mu-H)(H)(2)(mu-dpmp)(4)](+) (4, Pt-3(II)-Pt-3(II)), formally acts as a four-electron source to result in [Pt-3(mu-H)(2)(H)(2)(mu-dpmp)(2)](2+) (5, Pt-3(VI)) through protonation., Mar. 2017, 11, 1422, 1426, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.201601505

Reactions of [Cp*MCI2](2) with 2-pyNSpy (2), 2-py(2)NSpy (3), and 4-NSpy (1b) afforded homodinulear complexes, [(Cp*MC1)(2-pyNSpy)(Cp*MCI)(1)(PF6)(2) [M = Rh (5a), Ir (5b)], [(Cp*M)(2-py2NSpy)(Cp*MCW(PF6)3 [M = Rh (6a), Ir (6b)], [(Cp*MCI)(4-NSpy)(Cp*MC12)1C1 [M = Rh (8a), Ir (8b)L Heterodinuclear complexes [(Cp*MCI)(4-NSpy)(Cp*M,Cl-2)[Cl [M, M' = Rh, Ir (8c), Ir, Rh (8d)] were prepared using mononuclear complexes [(Cp*MC1)(4-NSpy)1C1 [I\A = Rh (7a), Ir (7b)] reacted with [Cp*MCI2](2) (M = Ir, Rh), respectively. Complexes 5-8 were characterized by X-ray crystallography to determine the configurations around the M, M', 5, and N centers. The solid-state structures of 6 are retained in acetonitrile solution whereas four diastereomers are generated in the case of 5 due to low stereo selectivity around the coordinated amine nitrogen atom, in contrast to the sulfur atom. Heterodinuclear complexes 8c,d are unstable in solution at 55 degrees C, readily affording mixtures of 8a-d via intra- and intermolecular coordination-site-exchange reactions of Cp*M fragments between the SN moiety and the py site. In order to evaluate the selectivity of Cp*M fragments for the SN and py coordination sites, several competitive reactions of [Cp*MCl2](2) (M = Rh, Ir) with H2NC2H4SCH2C6H5 (NSph) (4) and/or 4-methylpyridine (4-Mepy) were carried out to demonstrate predominant formation of iridium complexes 9b and 10b among [(Cp*MCl)(NSph)]Cl EM = Rh (9a), Ir (9b)] and [(Cp*MCl)(4-Mepy)Kl [M = Rh (10a), Ir (10b)].

Complex 4* is stable in DMF and DMSO solutions, and contains two terminal and one bridging hydrides observed at -5.92 ppm ((1)J(PtH) = 980 Hz) and -4.47 ppm ((1)J(PtH) = 591 Hz) in the H-1 NMR spectrum(DMSO-d(6)). The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the linear hexaplatinum structure supported by four dpmp ligands, wherein two {Pt-3(H)(m-dpmp)(2)}(+) units are connected by the bridging hydride resulting in a long Pt/Pt separation (3.3075(6) angstrom) between the central two Pt atoms. Other Pt-Pt distances range from 2.7243(7) to 2.7499(6) angstrom, indicating the presence of PtePt bonds within the {Pt-3(mu-dpmp)(2)} units. On the basis of the crystal structure, the hydride positions were optimized by DFT calculations to show a bent bridging hydride (av. Pt-H = 1.65 angstrom, Pt-H-Pt = 160.0 degrees) as well as linear terminal ones (av. Pt-H = 1.68 angstrom, av. Pt-Pt-H = 179.4 degrees).

Complex 1 dimerized in the presence of NEt3 to form the Cu-2 complex [Cu-2(HL)(2)](NO3)(2) (2) by the deprotonation of one of the two hydroxy groups in the H2L ligand. The reaction of 1 with Cu(OCOH)(2) in the presence of NEt3 afforded the Cu-3 complex [Cu-3(HL)(2)(OCOH)(2)](NO3)(2) (5). The metalloligand {Cu(HL)}(+) derived from 1 reacted with M(OAc)(2) (M = Cu, Co, Zn, Ni) in the absence of NEt3 to form the asymmetric CuM dinuclear complexes [CuM(HL)(OAc)(NO3)(2)] [M = Cu (3a), Co (3b), Zn (3c), Ni (3d)], whereas in the presence of NEt3 a unit of M(OAc) was captured by two metalloligands to give the bent CuMCu trinuclear complexes [Cu2M(HL)(2)(OAc)(2)(NO3)](NO3) [M = Cu (4a), Co (4b), Mn (4c)], which were further transformed into the linear CuMCu trinuclear complexes [Cu-3(HL)(2){(PhO)(2)PO2}(2)](NO3)(2) (7a) and [Cu2M(HL)(2){(PhO)(2)PO2}(2)(MeOH)(2)](NO3)(2) [M = Co (7b), Mn (7c)] with the aid of diphenyl phosphate bridging ligands. When (PhO) PO2(OH) was used as an auxiliary bridging ligand in the reaction of 1 with M(OAc)(2) and NEt3, the Cu2M2 tetranuclear complexes [Cu2M2(HL)(2){(PhO) PO3}(2)(NO3)(2)] [M = Co (8a), Zn (8b)] were synthesized. These results demonstrate that the mononuclear copper synthon with the N2O2 tetradentate amino alcohol ligand {Cu(H2L)}(2+) generates the quite useful metalloligand {Cu(HL)}(+) by the deprotonation of a hydroxy group, and subsequent reactions lead to the construction of a series of homo-and heterometal complexes containing Cu-2, CuM (M = Cu, Co, Zn, Ni), bent-CuMCu (M = Cu, Co, Mn), linear-CuMCu (M = Cu, Co, Mn), and Cu2M2 (M = Co, Mn) cores in a systematic and selective manner., Jun. 2016, 17, 2764, 2773, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.201600142

A similar reaction with (BuNC)-Bu-t resulted in the formation of a mononuclear Ir-III complex of [Ir(H)(dpmppp-kappa P-3)((BuNC)-Bu-t)(2)](PF6)(2) (4). Complexes 1-3 were characterized by ESI mass spectrometry, H-1 and P-31 NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses. They were found to consist of cis/trans-P, P asymmetric (IrII-IrII) bonded dinuclear structures derived from oxidative addition of an ortho C-H bond of dpmppp (Ir-Ir = 2.8044(2) angstrom (1), 2.8569(2) angstrom (2), and 2.8524(5) angstrom (3)), resulting in a [IrPCCIr] intermetallic cyclometal-bridge and a terminal hydride. DFT calculations indicated the presence of Ir-Ir, Ir-H, and Ir-C-ortho covalent bonds. Initial stages of the reactions with CO and XylNC at room temperature were investigated by P-31{H-1} NMR spectroscopy and found to contain a symmetrical Ir-I dinuclear unit with dpmppp that was readily transformed into 1 and 2 upon heating. The Ir-2(I) intermediate with XylNC, [Ir-2(XylNC)(4)(mu-dpmppp)] (PF6)(2) (6), was isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallography and DFT calculations as an electron-deficient 32e(-)Ir(2)(I) species involving a IrI. IrI dative bond (2.7989(5) angstrom). The reaction pathways from 6 to 2 were investigated by DFT calculations. The present study suggested that a novel oxidative addition of an ortho C-H bond proceeded on the cis/trans-P, P asymmetric diiridium(I) scaffold supported by the tetraphosphine, dpmppp, which was assumed to be facilitated by dimetal cooperation with switching Ir -> Ir dative interactions., 2016, 45, 11, 4747, 4761, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c5dt04725k

The methylene-bridged linear hexaphosphine readily organized flexible gold(I) and silver(I) hexanuclear chains, [M-6(mu-P-6)(2)]X-6 (X-6=(OTf)(6), M=Au (1), Ag (2); X-6=Cl-2(PF6)(4), M=Au (3)). The hexaphosphine also supported a tetrasilver(I) complex [Ag-4(mu-P-6)(2)](OTf)(4) (4), which was readily transformed by treatment with AgOTf into 3, revealing a drastic alternation of the two P-6 arrangement. The hexagold(I) chains exhibited a considerably red-shifted absorption (similar to 410 nm) and emission (540-580 nm) to (1)[5d(sigma*)-> 6p(sigma)] and from (3)[5d(sigma*)-> 6p(sigma)] excited states of the metal centers, respectively.

The isomeric tetra-phosphine incorporates two {Cp*MCl} fragments with four-membered chelation through a pair of outer and inner phosphine units, and fixes them ca. 6.9 angstrom apart from each other. The configurations around the metal centers in 2 were determined to avoid repulsive interaction between the phenyl group on the inner P atom and the M-bound chloride anion, while those in 1 would be determined by minimizing not only the Ph/Cl repulsion but also repulsion between the two metal fragments. In the dichloromethane solutions, the major isomers 1 and 2 were not converted to any other minor isomers even at high temperature, but in dmf and dmso, only 1a was readily transformed into the minor isomer, meso-M-2-[(Cp*RhCl)(2)(meso-dpmppm)](PF6)(2). Cyclic voltammograms of 1a, b and 2a, b demonstrated two irreversible 2e reduction waves corresponding to (MMIII)-M-III -> (MMIII)-M-I -> (MMI)-M-I, in which the mixed-valence states with meso-dpmppm could be stabilized to a larger extent than with rac-dpmppm. Complex 1a heated in acetonitrile with AgOTf/NH4OTf afforded a Rh2Ag2 mixed-metal complex, [(Cp*Rh(CH3CN))(2)Ag-2(OTf)(2)(meso-dpmppm)(2)](OTf)(4) (5). (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Complex [2](2+) readily reacted with [Pd-0(dba)(2)] (2 equiv) and an excess of isocyanide, RNC (R = 2,6-xylyl (Xyl), tert-butyl (Bu-t), to generate an equilibrium mixture of [Pd-4(mu-dpmppm),(RNC)(2)](2+) ([3'](2+)) + RNC reversible arrow [Pd-4(mu-dpmppm)(2) (RNC)(3)](2+) ([3](2+)), from which [Pd-4(mu-dpmppm)2(XylNC)(3)](2+) ([3a](2+)) and [Pd-4(mu-dpmppm)(2) ((BUNC)-B-t)(2)](2+) ([3b'](2+)) were isolated. Variable-temperature UV-vis and P-31{H-1} and H-1 NMR spectroscopic studies on the equilibrium mixtures demonstrated that the tetrapalladium complexes are quite fluxional in the solution state: the symmetric Pd-4 complex [3b'](2+) predominantly existed at higher temperatures (>0 degrees C), and the equilibrium shifted to the asymmetric Pd-4 complex [3b'](2+) at a low temperature (similar to-30 degrees C). The binding constants were determined by UV-vis titration at 20 degrees C and revealed that XylNC is of higher affinity to the Pd-4 core than (BuNC)-Bu-t. In addition, both isocyanides exhibited higher affinity to the electron deficient [Pd-4(mu-dpmppmF(2))(2)(RNC)(2)](2+) ([3F'](2+)) than to [Pd-4(mu-dpmppm)(2)(RNC)(2)](2+) ([3'](2+)) (dpmppmF(2) = meso-bisadi(3,5-difluorophenyl)phosphinomethyl}phenylphosphino]methane). When [2] X-2 was treated with [Pd-0(dba)(2)] (2 equiv) in the absence of RNC in acetonitrile, linearly ordered octapalladium chains, [Pd-8(mu-dpmppm)(4)(CH3CN)(2)]X-4 ([4]X-4: X = PF6, BF4), were generated through a coupling of two {Pd-4(mu-dpmppm)(2)}(2+) fragments. Complex [2](2+) was also proven to be a good precursor for Pd2M2 mixed-metal complexes, yielding [Pd2Cl(Cp*MCl) (Cp*MCl2)(mu-dpmppm)(2)](2+) (M = Rh ([5](2+)), Ir ([6](2+)), and [Au2Pd2Cl2(dpmppm-H)(2)](2+) ([7])(2+) by treatment with [Cp*MCl2](2) and [AuCl(PPh3)], respectively. Complex [7]2+ contains an unprecedented PC(sp(3))P pincer ligand with a PCPCPCP backbone, dpmppm H of deprotonated dpmppm. The present results demonstrated that the binuclear Pd-I complex [2](2+) was a quite useful starting material to extend the palladium chains and to construct Pd-involved heteromultinuclear systems., Sep. 2015, 54, 17, 8298, 8309, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.5b00950

X-ray structural analyses revealed that both MII cubanes 4a center dot 2CH(3)OH and 4b center dot 2CH(3)OH are isostructural and crystallize in the tetragonal space group I4(1)/acd with eight molecules in the unit cell. In the solid state, the orientation of the cubane cores of 4 and the formation of a 3D framework were controlled by pi-pi interactions as well as intra- and intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed that the cubanes 4 show a ferrimagnetic coupling scheme that leads to a diamagnetic ground state for both complexes. Core-level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed that the Co and Ni ions in 4a and 4b are in a divalent state. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism was performed to extract the spin and orbital contributions to the Co and Ni magnetic moments.

The nitrate complexes [M(mu-meppp)-M'Cp*(NO3)]NO3 (M' = Rh ([4a-c]NO3), Ir ([5a-c]NO3); M = Ni (a), Pd (b), Pt (c)) further reacted with sodium formate in water or methanol to be transformed into bisthiolate- and hydride-bridged complexes, [M(mu-meppp)(mu-H)M'Cp*]NO3 (M' = Rh ([6a-c]NO3), Ir ([8a-c]NO3); M = Ni (a), Pd (b), Pt (c)). Complexes [6a]NO3 (M = Ni, M' = Rh) and [8a]NO3 (M = Ni, M' = Ir) were characterized by X-ray analyses to reveal that a hydride is stabilized in a semibridging mode on the heterometal centers. In the (PdRhIII)-Rh-II ([6b]NO3) and (PtRhIII)-Rh-II ([6c]NO3) complexes, the hydrides were extremely unstable and were likely to undergo an unusual metal-to-Cp* ring hydrogen transfer, resulting in eta(4)-C5Me5H (MRhI)-Rh-II complexes, [M(mu-meppp)Rh(eta(4)-C5Me5H)]NO3 (M = Pd ([7b]NO3), Pt ([7c]NO3)). The property of the hydride was drastically switched by varying the anchoring metal ions of the M' site (Rh, Ir); that of [6a]NO3 (M' = Rh) is not protic and decomposes in water below pH 4, while those of [8a-c]NO3 (M' = Ir) are protic, subject to H+/D+ exchange reactions, and stable below pH 4. [6a]NO3 reacted with phenylacetylene to give [Ni(mu-meppp)RhCp*(C CPh)]NO3 ([10a]NO3), which is in contrast with the inertness of the (NiIrIII)-Ir-II hydride complex [8a]NO3. The reaction is assumed to involve an alkenyl complex, [Ni(mu-meppp)RhCp*(CH=CHPh)]NO3 (9a), formed through an insertion of phenylacetylene into the metal-hydride bond. Analogous (MRhIII)-Rh-II alkynyl complexes, [M(mu-meppp)RhCp*(C CPh)]NO3 (M = Pd ([10b]NO3), Pt ([10c]NO3)), were synthesized by treating [4b,c]NO3 with phenylacetylene in basic media, and the structural differences among [10a-c]NO3 were discussed.

The central MM distances of 7 and 8 are significantly reduced upon the apparent loss of a hydride unit from the MHM central part of 2 and 3, indicating that the bonding electrons in the adjacent MPt bonds migrate into the central MM bond to result in a dynamic structural change during two-electron oxidation of the hexanuclear metal strings. A similar Pt-6 complex terminated by two iodide anions, [Pt6I2(mu-dpmp)(4)](PF6)(2) (9), was synthesized from [Pt-6(mu-H)I-2(mu-dpmp)(4)](PF6) (5) by treatment with [Cp2Fe][PF6].

The structures of syn-[Au-4(meso-dpmppm)(2)X]X-3' (X=Cl; X'=Cl (4a), PF6 (4b), BF4 (4c)) and syn-[Au-4(meso-dpmppm)(2)]X-4 (X=PF6 (4d), BF4 (4e), TfO (4 f); TfO=triflate) involved a bent tetragold(I) core with a counter anion X incorporated into the bent pocket. Complexes anti-[Au-4(meso-dpmppm)(2)]X-4 (X=PF6 (5d), BF4 (5e), TfO (5 f)) contain a linearly ordered Au-4 string and complexes syn-[Au-4(rac-dpmppm)(2)X-2]X-2' (X=Cl, X'=Cl (6a), PF6 (6b), BF4 (6c)) and syn-[Au-4(rac-dpmppm)(2)]X-4 (X=PF6 (6d), BF4 (6e), TfO (6 f)) consist of a zigzag tetragold(I) chain supported by the two syn-arranged rac-dpmppm ligands. Complexes 4d-f, 5d-f, and 6d-f with non-coordinative large anions are strongly luminescent in the solid state (lambda(max)=475-515 nm, Phi=0.67-0.85) and in acetonitrile (lambda(max)=491-520 nm, Phi=0.33-0.97); the emission was assigned to phosphorescence from 3[d(sigma*sigma*sigma*)p(sigma sigma sigma)] excited state of the Au-4 centers on the basis of DFT calculations as well as the long lifetime (a few mu s). The emission energy is predominantly determined by the HOMO and LUMO characters of the Au-4 centers, which depend on the bent (4), linear (5), and zigzag (6) alignments. The strong emissions in acetonitrile were quenched by chloride anions through simultaneous dynamic and static quenching processes, in which static binding of chloride ions to the Au-4 excited species should be the most effective. The present study demonstrates that the structures of linear tetranuclear gold(I) chains can be modified by utilizing the stereoisomeric tetraphosphines, meso- and rac-dpmppm, which may lead to fine tuning of the strongly luminescent properties intrinsic to the Au-4(I) cluster centers., Feb. 2014, 20, 6, 1577, 1596, Scientific journal, 10.1002/chem.201303729

The configurations around the two metal centers were controlled by the configuration of the coordinated P atoms so as to avoid repulsive interaction between the phenyl group on P and the chloride ligand, resulting in the formation of stereospecific isomers; a mesa configuration of the metal centers is induced from meso-L-n (abbreviated as meso-P-2/meso-M-2), and in contrast, a rac configuration is induced from rac-L" (rac-P-2/rac-M-2). Furthermore, inversion of metal centers for the Ir-2 complexes occurred in DMSO at higher temperatures (60-100 degrees C), generating equilibrium mixtures of minor diastereomers (meso-P-2/rac-M-2 or rac-P-2/meso-M-2) in low ratios together with the major isomers (meso-P-2/meso-M-2 or rac-P-2/rac-M-2). The equilibrium constants, K = [minor isomer]/[major isomer], varied appreciably depending on the lengths of the methylene chains as well as configurations of the NPPN ligands; the overall propensity for the K values was observed to be L-2 < L-3 <L-4 and meso-L-n < rac-L-n, while rac-L-3, rac-L-4, and meso-L-4 showed almost identical equilibrium constants, presumably resulting from no steric influence between the two metal centers., Dec. 2013, 32, 24, 7470, 7477, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om400965j

Each terminal of the Pd4 chain was capped by terminal isocyanide and a semi-bridging RNC is introduced into one terminal Pd site. Mechanistic investigation suggested that the dipalladium(I) complex, [Pd-2(mu-dpmppmF(2))(2)(RNC)(2)](PF6)(2) (R = Xyl (6)), was a key intermediate to trap Pd-0 species by the uncoordinated outer phosphine pendants with electron-withdrawing groups. Variable-temperature UV-vis and P-31{H-1}, H-1 NMR spectroscopic studies demonstrated that the tetrapalladium complexes are quite fluxional in the solution state at high temperature (>20 degrees C) relating to a symmetric structure of [Pd4(mu-dpmppmF2) 2(RNC) 2](PF6) 2, and the asymmetric solid state structures are retained even in the solution at low temperature (<-60 degrees C). Theoretical calculations with DFT methods on the asymmetric (R = Xyl (1)) and symmetric (R = Xyl (1')) structures suggested that contribution of Pd-0 -> Pd-I-Pd-0-Pd-I with 60 cluster valence electrons (CVEs) would be dominant in 1, while the symmetric structure of 1' can be recognized as Pd-I-Pd-0-Pd-0-Pd-I with 58 CVEs.

  • Refereed, ORGANOMETALLICS, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Hydride-Bridged Pt2M2Pt2 Hexanuclear Metal Strings (M = Pt, Pd) Derived from Reductive Coupling of Pt2M Building Blocks Supported by Triphosphine Ligands, Eri Goto; Rowshan Ara Begum; Aya Hosokawa; Chie Yamamoto; Bunsho Kure; Takayuki Nakajima; Tomoaki Tanase, Linear Pt2M2Pt2 hexanuclear clusters [Pt4M2(mu-H)(mu-dpmp)(4)(XylNC)(2)](PF6)(3) (M = Pt (2a), Pd (3a); dpmp = bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphine) were synthesized by site-selective reductive coupling of trinuclear building blocks, [Pt2M(mu-dpmp)(2)(XylNC)(2)](PF6)(2) (M = Pt (1a), Pd (1b)), and were revealed as the first example of low-oxidation-state metal strings bridged by a hydride with M-H-M linear structure. The characteristic intense absorption bands around 583 nm (2a) and 674 nm (3a) were assigned to the HOMO-LUMO transition on the basis of a net three-center/two-electron (3c/2e) bonding interaction within the central M-2(mu-H) part. The terminal ligands of 2a were replaced by H-, I-, and CO to afford [Pt-6(mu-H)(H)(2)(mu-dpmp)(4)](+) (4), [Pt-6(mu-H)I-2(mu-dpmp)(4)](PF6) (5), and [Pt-6(mu-H)(mu-dpmp)(4)(CO)(2)](PF6)(3) (6). The electronic structures of these hexaplatinum cores, {Pt-6(mu-H)(mu-dpmp)(4)}(3+), are varied depending on the sigma-donating ability of axial ligands; the characteristic HOMO-LUMO transition bands interestingly red-shifted in the order of CO < XylNC < I- < H- which was in agreement with calculated HOMO-LUMO gaps derived from DFT optimizations of 2a, 4, 5, and 6. The nature of the axial ligands influences the redox activities of the hexanuclear complexes; 2a, 3a, and 5 were proven to be redox-active by the cyclic voltammograms and underwent two-electron oxidation by potentiostatic electrolysis to afford [Pt4M2(mu-dpmp)(4)(XylNC)(2)](PF6)(4) (M = Pt (7a), Pd (8a)). The present results are important in developing bottom-up synthetic methodology to create nanostructured metal strings by utilizing fine-tunable metallic building blocks., Dec. 2012, 31, 24, 8482, 8497, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om300680p
  • Refereed, INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Wheel-Shaped Icosanuclear Homo- and Heterometallic Complexes of Ni-II, Co-II, and Cu-II Ions Supported by Unsymmetrical Aminoalcohol Ligands, Takayuki Nakajima; Keiko Seto; Fumihiro Horikawa; Isao Shimizu; Andreas Scheurer; Bunsho Kure; Takashi Kajiwara; Tomoaki Tanase; Masahiro Mikuriya, Reactions of M(OAc)(2)center dot 4H(2)O (M = Ni, Co) with 3-[benzyl(2-hydroxyethypamino]-1-propanol (H2L) in the presence of pyridine or triethylamine afforded novel homometallic icosanuclear wheel-shaped complexes [M20L4(HL)(4)(OAc)(28)] (M = Ni (1), Co (2)), which consist of a central M-12(II) single-stranded, nearly planar loop with four peripheral [M-2(HL)(OAc)(2)] fragments attached in an S-4 symmetrical fashion. The complexes can alternatively be recognized as saddle-shaped wheel structures, in which four tetranuclear units of [M4L(HL)(OAc)(2)](2-) are connected by four M2+ ions (M5). The tetranuclear unit itself can be derived from an ideal C-2 symmetrical [M-4(HL)(2)(mu-eta(2)-OAc)(4)(mu-eta(1),eta(1)-OAc)(2)(eta(1),eta(1)-OAc)](-) structure through deprotonation of the HL- ligand, and is composed of two plane shared M3O4 incomplete cubanes in which the M2 and M3 atoms are involved in the central fused plane and the M1 and M4 atoms are disposed at the apex sites. Mixed-metal icosanuclear complexes [NixM20-xL4(HL)(4)(OAc)(28)] (3, M = Co, x = 9.5) and [Ni12M8L4(HL)(4)(OAc)(28)] (4, M = Cu) were also synthesized by using equimolar amounts of Ni-II and ions, and were shown to have similar structures to 1 and 2. X-ray crystallographic and fluorescent analyses revealed that complex 3 contains nonstoichiometric amounts of Ni2+ and Co2+ ions in the ratio of 9.5:10.5 and that these are disordered at every metal site. In striking contrast, complex 4 has a stoichiometric formula of Ni12Cu8, which was confirmed by the Jahn-Teller elongation of Cu2+ ions, and consequently, the M2 and M5 positions are occupied exclusively by the Cu2+ ions. The temperature-dependent direct current (dc) magnetic susceptibility data showed the presence of ferromagnetic exchange interactions in the Ni homometallic (1) and NiCu bimetallic (4) complexes, while the Co homometallic (2) and NiCo bimetallic (3) complexes exhibited antiferromagnetic interactions due to spin-orbit coupling effects of the octahedral Co-II ions. The present results demonstrate that the unsymmetrical aminoalcohol ligand H2L is quite effective in organizing the homo- and heterometallic icosanuclear wheel-shaped metal arrangements., Nov. 2012, 51, 22, 12503, 12510, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic3019106
  • Refereed, ORGANOMETALLICS, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Hydride-Bridged NiRh Complexes with Tunable N3S2 Dithiolato Ligands and Their Utilization as Catalysts for Hydrogenation of Aldehydes and CO2 in Aqueous Media, Bunsho Kure; Ayami Taniguchi; Takayuki Nakajima; Tomoaki Tanase, New N3S2 dithiolato ligands, 1,4-bis(2-mercaptoethyl)-7-R-1,4,7-triazacyclononane (RTACN-S2H2; R = Ts, Pr-i) were synthesized and reacted with Ni-II ion to give mononuclear complexes [Ni(RTACN-S-2)] (R = Ts (1a), Pr-i (1b)). Complexes 1a and 1b were further transformed by treatment with Rh-III species into a series of (NiRhIII)-Rh-II heterodimetallic compounds, [Ni(RTACN-S-2)RhCp*X]X' (R = Ts, X = Cl, X' = Cl, OTf ([2a]X'); R = Ts, X = X' = NO3 ([3a]NO3); R = Pr-i, X = Cl, X' = Cl, NO3, PF6 ([2b]X')). Complexes [3a]NO3 and [2b]NO3 were readily reacted with H-2 (0.1 MPa) in water at room temperature to afford hydride-bridged (NiRhIII)-Rh-II dinuclear complexes, [(RTACN-S-2)Ni(mu-H)RhCp*]NO3 (R = Ts ([4a]NO3), Pr-i ([4b]NO3)), which were successfully characterized by X-ray crystallography. Upon the heterolytic activation of H-2, the Ni-Rh interatomic distances were dramatically decreased from 3.2130(6)-3.262(2) angstrom ([2a]OTf, [2b]NO3, [3a]NO3) to 2.6921(6)-2.7228(4) angstrom ([4a]NO3, [4b]NO3), resulting in semibridging Ni(mu-H)Rh cores. In addition, the stability of the hydride of [4a](+) and [4b](+) were interestingly tuned by varying the R group of the TACN ligand through trans influence at the Ni-II center (Ni-NR=2.188(3) angstrom ([4a(+)]), 2.056(2) angstrom ([4b](+)). In fact, [4a](+) was quite stable and capable of reducing benzaldehyde in water, although [4b] quickly decomposed under similar conditions. Catalytic hydrogenation of aldehydes and CO2 in water has been established by using [3a]NO3 and [2a]Cl as precursors of an active species, [4a](+), and found to be interestingly contrasted to the inactive precursor [2b]NO3 with R = Pr-i. These results indicated that the properties and reactivity of the Ni(mu-H)Rh complexes can be controlled by changing the substituents of the N3S2 supporting ligands., Jul. 2012, 31, 13, 4791, 4800, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om300350u
  • Refereed, ORGANOMETALLICS, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Cyclic Trinuclear Rh2M Complexes (M = Rh, Pt, Pd, Ni) Supported by meso-1,3-Bis[(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphino]propane, Takayuki Nakajima; Sachi Kurai; Sayo Noda; Maki Zouda; Bunsho Kure; Tomoaki Tanase, Reaction of [MCl2(cod)] (M = Pd, Pt) with a tetraphosphine, meso-1,3-bis[(diphenylphosphinomethyl)phenylphosphino]propane (dpmppp), afforded the mononuclear complexes [MCl2(dpmppp)] (M = Pd (3a), Pt (3b)), in which the dpmppp ligand coordinated to the M ion by two inner phosphorus atoms to form a six-membered chelate ring with two outer phosphines uncoordinated. The pendant outer phosphines readily reacted with [RhCl(CO)(2)](2) to give the cationic heterotrinuclear complexes [MRh2(mu-Cl)(3)(mu-dpmppp) (CO)(2)]X (X = [RhCl(CO)(2)](2), M = Pd (4a), Pt (4b); X = PF6, M = Pd (5a), Pt (5b)). The nickel analogue [NiRh2(mu-Cl)(3)(mu-dpmppp)(CO)(2)]PF6 (5c) was also prepared. A neutral homotrinuclear Rh-3 complex, [Rh-3(mu-Cl)(3)(mu-dpmppp)(CO)(2)] (6), was synthesized by the reaction of [RhCl(CO)(2)](2) with dpmppp and was further reacted with HgX2 (X = Cl, Br, I) to afford the Rh3Hg tetranuclear complexes [Rh-3(HgX)(mu-Cl)(2)(mu-X)(mu-dpmppp)(CO)(2)]PF6 (X = Cl (7a), Br (7b), I (7c)), where the Rh-3(mu-Cl)(2)(mu-X) cores act as tridentate ligands to form three donor-acceptor Rh -> Hg interactions. The two CO ligands of 7a-c were replaced by XylNC to yield [Rh-3(HgX)(mu-Cl)(2)(mu-X)(mu-dpmppp)(XylNC)(2)]PF6 (X = Cl (8a), Br (8b), I (8c)). The isocyanides had an appreciable influence on the three Rh -> Hg interactions, which was monitored by the (2)J(Hgp) values observed in the P-31{H-1} NMR spectra and discussed on the basis of DFT calculations. Complex 6 also reacted with CuCl and HBF4 to give [Rh-3(CuCl)(mu-Cl)(3)(mu-dpmppp)(CO)(2)] (9) and [Rh-3(mu(3)-H)(mu-Cl)(3)(mu-dpmppp)(CO)(2)]BF4 (10), respectively. These results suggested that the new tetraphosphine dpmppm proved quite useful in constructing fine-tunable heterometallic frameworks., Jun. 2012, 31, 11, 4283, 4294, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om300278k
  • Refereed, ORGANOMETALLICS, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Heterotrinuclear Complexes with Palladium, Rhodium, and Iridium Ions Assembled by Conformational Switching of a Tetraphosphine Ligand around a Palladium Center, Akiko Yoshii; Hiroe Takenaka; Hiroko Nagata; Sayo Noda; Kanako Nakamae; Bunsho Kure; Takayuki Nakajima; Tomoaki Tanase, Reaction of [PdCl2(cod)] with a tetraphosphine, meso-bis[((diphenylphosphino)methyl)phenylphosphino]methane (dpmppm), afforded the mononuclear Pd-II complexes [PdCl(dpmppm-kappa(3))]X (X = Cl (la), PF6 (1b)); the pincer-type dpmppm ligand coordinates to the Pd atom with two outer and one inner phosphorus atom to form fused six- and four-membered chelate rings. The remaining inner phosphine is uncoordinated and readily reacts with [CP*MCl2](2) to give the heterodimetallic complexes [PdCl-(Cp*MCl2)(mu-dpmppm-kappa(3),kappa(1))]X (X = Cl, M = Rh (21a), Ir (21b); X = PF6, M = Rh (23a), Ir (23b)). Attachment of the second metal fragment to the uncoordinated phosphine caused a crucial conformational change of the six-membered chelate ring from a stable chair conformation to a twist-boat structure, which concomitantly destabilizes the four-membered ring for its opening reactions. Complexes 21 (X = Cl) were converted to [PdCl2(Cp*MCl2)(dpmppm=O)], in which the terminal P atom is dissociated and oxidized as Ph2P(=O)CH2P(Ph)CH2P(Ph)CH2PPh2 (dpmppm=O), and in the presence of another 1 equiv of [Cp*M'Cl-2](2), complexes 21 were readily transformed into the heterotrinuclear complexes [PdCl2(Cp*M'Cl-2)(Cp*MCl2)(mu-dpmppm-kappa(2),kappa(1),kappa(1))] (M = M' = Rh (31a), Ir, (31b); M = Ir, M' = Rh (31c)), where the third metal M' is trapped by the terminal P atom with its four-membered-ring opening. Complexes 23 also reacted with another 1 equiv of [Cp*M'Cl-2](2) to afford the heterotrinuclear complexes [PdCl(mu-Cl)(Cp*M'Cl)(Cp*MCl2)(mu-dpmppm-kappa(2),kappa(1),kappa(1))]PF6 (M = M' = Rh (32a), Ir, (32b); M = Ir, M' = Rh (32c), M = Rh, M' = Ir (32d)); the additional metal M' is ligated by the terminal phosphine and is further connected to the Pd atom via a chloride bridge, resulting in a rather electron-deficient M' center on the basis of cyclic voltammetry. These results exhibited that the addition of a bulky metal fragment to the uncoordinated phosphine of 1 brings about a conformational switch around the Pd center to promote the ring-opening reaction of the four-membered chelate ring, which leads to an incorporation of the third metal fragment to construct heterotrinuclear structures., Jan. 2012, 31, 1, 133, 143, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om2006744

Complex 1a was further transformed by treatment with Cu(OTf)(2) into [Cu(8)(mu-X)(6)(OTf)(2)(mu-dpmppm)(2)] (2) in which two TfO anions attached to both end of the Cu(8) ladder. When complexes 1 were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) in the presence of 2 equiv. of dpmppm, the octacopper(I) ladder was unzipped to result in the linear tetranuclear copper(I) complex, [Cu(4)X(mu-X)(3)(mu-dpmppm)(2)(dmso)] (X = Cl (3a), Br (3b), I (3c)).

Saalfrank; Andreas Scheurer; Raju Prakash; Frank W. Heinemann; Takayuki Nakajima; Frank Hampel; Roland Leppin; Bernd Pilawa; Holger Rupp; Paul Mueller, Reaction of lithium tetrachloromanganate(II) with N-n-butyldiethanolamine H2L3 (3) in the presence of LiH leads to the formation of wheel-shaped, mixed-valent heptanuclear, neutral complex {Mn-II subset of[(Mn2Mn4Cl6)-Mn-II-Cl-III(L-3)(6)]} (4). The manganese wheel crystallizes in the triclinic space group P (1) over bar as 4 center dot 2CHCl(3) or 4 center dot 3THF when either diethyl ether or n-pentane was allowed to diffuse into solutions of 4 in chloroform or tetrahydrofuran. The oxidation states of each manganese ion in 4 center dot 2CHCl(3) or 4 center dot 3THF were assigned on the basis of detailed symmetry, bond length, and charge considerations, as well as by the Jahn-Teller axial elongation observed for the manganese(III) ions, and were further supported by cyclic voltammetry. The analysis of the SQUID magnetic susceptibility data for complex 4 center dot 2CHCl(3) showed that the intramolecular magnetic coupling of the manganese(II,III) ions is dominated by ferromagnetic exchange interactions. This results in an S = 27/2 ground-state multiplet at low magnetic field. At fields higher than 0.68 T, the energetically lowest state is given by the m(S) = 31/2 component of the S = 31/2 multiplet due to the Zeeman effect. The ligand-field-splitting parameters were determined by anisotropy SQUID measurements on single crystalline samples along the crystallographic x, y, and z axes (D = -0.055 K, E = 6.6 mK) and by high-frequency electron spin resonance measurements on a polycrystalline powder of 4 center dot 2CHCl(3) (D = -0.068 K, E = 9.7 mK). The resulting barrier height for magnetization reversal amounts to U approximate to 10 K. Finally, 2DEG Hall magnetization measurements revealed that 4 center dot 2CHCl(3) shows single-molecule magnet behavior up to the blocking temperature of about 0.6 K with closely spaced steps in the hysteresis because of the quantum tunneling of the magnetization., Mar. 2007, 46, 5, 1586, 1592, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic0614059

Principally, all the iron coronands are isostructural; however, they differ fundamentally with respect to their crystal packing. Exemplarily, this is discussed for selected members of the space groups R(3)over bar, P(3)over bar, P2(1)/c, P2(1)/n, C2/c, and P(1)over bar. Depending on the nature of their sidearms, the ferric wheels create various substructures. For instance, the ferric wheels 5a-i of space group R(3)over bar or P(3)over bar are piled in parallel in cylindrical columns, which are surrounded by six parallel columns alternately dislocated by 1/3c and 2/3 c against the central one. Pronounced van der Waals interactions give rise to compartmentation and incarceration of guest molecules as seen for 5e,g. However, in 5h strong pi-pi interactions create a three-dimensional scaffold, The most significant difference of the ferric wheels 5j-p of space groups P2(1)/c, P2(1/)n, and C2/c is that these ferric wheels are arranged in parallel in two orientations. They differ mainly only by the included angle of the two groups of parallel wheels. In the case of 51, molecular chains are formed in the crystal due to pi-pi interactions. The ferric wheels 5q-y of space group P(1)over bar are packed in the crystal most simply, with all the ferric wheels piled in parallel., Jul. 2004, 43, 14, 4372, 4382, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic049799w

The active site structure that depends on supporting metal oxide and catalytic reaction conditions, T Minato; Y Izumi; K Aika; A Ishiguro; T Nakajima; Y Wakatsuki, Ruthenium site structures supported on metal oxide surfaces were designed by reacting organometallic Ru cluster [Ru6C(CO)(16)](2-) or [Ru-6(CO)(18)](2-) with various metal oxides,TiO2, Al2O3, MgO, andSiO(2). The surface Ru site structure, formed under various catalyst preparation and reaction conditions, was investigated by the Ru K-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). Samples of [RU6C(CO)(16)](2-)/TiO2(anatase) and [RU6C(CO)(16)](2-)/TiO2(rutile) were found to retain the original RU6C framework when heated in the presence of NO (2.0 kPa) or NO (2.0 kPa) + CO (2.0 kPa) at 423 K, i.e., catalytic reaction conditions for NO decomposition. At 523 K, the Ru-Ru bonds of the RU6C framework were cleaved by the attack of NO. In contrast, the Ru site became spontaneously dispersed over TiO2 (anatase). When being supported over TiO2 (mesoporous), MgO, or Al2O3, the Ru6C framework split into fragments in gaseous NO or NO + CO even at 423 K. The Ru-6 framework of [RU6(CO)(18)](2-) was found to break easily into smaller ensembles in the presence of NO and/or CO at 423 K on support. Taking into consideration the realistic environments in which these catalysts will be used, we also examined the effect of water and oxygen. When water was introduced to the sample [RU6C(CO)(16)](2-)/TiO2(anatase) at 423 K, it did not have any effects on the stabilized RU6C framework structure. In the presence of oxygen gas, however, the Ru hexanclear structure decomposed into isolated Ru cations bound to surface oxygen atoms of TiO2 (anatase)., Aug. 2003, 107, 34, 9022, 9028, Scientific journal, 10.1021/jp034412g

The average sizes of the metal particles in both systems are similar, that is, 12 Angstrom for molecular cluster-derived particles and 15 Angstrom for those derived from the RuCl3 precursor, although the size distribution is sharper in the former case. These supported particles efficiently promote the reduction of SO2 with H-2 to give elemental sulfur. Their active form is ruthenium sulfide as confirmed by EXAFS and X-ray diffraction measurements. The nanoscale ruthenium sulfide particles, which originated from the cluster complex, have an amorphous character and show activity even at low temperature (463 K), whereas ruthenium sulfide formed from RuCl3-derived metal dispersion is a pyrite-type RuS2 crystallite and needs a temperature above 513 K to effect the same catalysis.

The activity was largely dependent on the kind of metal oxide support used. Compared to the known systems, the TiO2-supported ruthenium catalysts operated with higher efficiency at lower temperature. Moreover, the selectivity was totally to elemental sulfur, forming no detectable amount of unfavorable H2S. H2S-free catalysis appeared to be a common feature of ruthenium catalysts regardless of the kind of precursors. The TiO2-supported catalyst derived from [N(PPh3)(2)](2)[Ru6C(CO)(16)] was much more active within the 463-508 K temperature region than the catalyst conventionally prepared from RuCl3, while both showed similar activity at more elevated temperatures. The kind of cation in anionic cluster complexes and the presence of an interstitial atom are important factors in generating supported catalysts that operate under mild conditions.

Similar photolysis of a mixture of (eta(5)-C5H5)(2)MH(2) and [(eta(5)-C5H5)Ru(CO)(2)](2) has afforded two trimetallic complexes: (eta(5)-C5H5)(mu,sigma-eta(5)-C5H4)M(mu-CO)(2)Ru(eta(5)-C5H5)Ru(eta(5)-C5H5)-(CO)H (3a, M = W; 3b, M = Mo), where the Ru-Ru bond still exists with a new M-Ru bond and one bridging (mu,sigma-eta(5)-C5H4) ring between M and the other Ru, and (mu,sigma-eta(5)-C5H4)(2)-Mh(2)[(eta(5)-C5H5)Ru(CO)](2) (4a, M = W; 4b, M = Mo), in which both of the cyclopentadienyl rings of the metallocene are metalated with Ru. The crystal and molecular structures of 1a, 2d, 3a, and 4a have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis., Dec. 1995, 14, 12, 5598, 5604, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om00012a028
  • Refereed, JOURNAL OF ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA LAUSANNE, PREPARATION AND STRUCTURE OF THE 1ST ANSA-MOLYBDENOCENE AND TUNGSTENOCENE DERIVATIVES - REACTION OF [O(SIME2C5H4)2]MOH2 WITH METHYL-METHACRYLATE TO PROBE THE OLEFIN ATTACKING SITE, T MISE; M MAEDA; T NAKAJIMA; K KOBAYASHI; SHIMIZU, I; Y YAMAMOTO; Y WAKATSUKI, Bridged-bis(cyclopentadienyl) molybdenum and tungsten dihydrides and their derivatives have been synthesized for the first time. [(1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane-1,3-diyl)bis(eta5-cyclopentadienyl)]molybdenum dihydride (1a) and tungsten dihydride (1b) were prepared by sodium borohydride reduction of [O(SiMe2C5H4)2]MCl2 (2a: M = Mo, 2b: M = W) which was obtained by the reaction of disodium 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-bis(cyclopentadienyl)disiloxane with MCl4(thf)2 (M = Mo, W). The dichlorides 2 reacted with ZnMe2 and NaSEt to afford [O(SiMe2C5H4)2]MMe2 (3a: M = Mo, 3b: M = W) and [O(SiMe2C5H4)2]M(SEt)2 (4a: M = Mo, 4b: M = W), respectively. Photolysis of lb in benzene gave [O(SiMe2C5H4)2]WH(C6H5) (5b). An X-ray crystal analysis of 3a has proved that the bridging chain blocks one of the side positions of the complex, the siloxy unit being present at one side of the Me-Mo-Me bisector. Consistent with side position attack by olefins, the reaction rate of la with methyl methacrylate was found to be nearly one half that of the parent CP2MoH2 (6a)., Jun. 1994, 473, 1-2, 155, 162, Scientific journal, 10.1016/0022-328X(94)80116-9

These ligands gave a series of multinuclear copper hydride complexes with a variety of metal frameworks. Among these copper hydride complexes, only the copper hydride supported by meso-dpmppb showed reactivity toward CO2. Furthermore, the copper hydride was found to be a suitable catalyst for formic acid dehydrogenation into H2 and CO2. An unsymmetric dinuclear copper motif bridged by tetradentate phosphine ligands, was proposed as an active species to promote the decomposition of FA by virtue of synergistic effects of the Cu2 unit. The present system is the first distinguished catalytic dehydrogenation of FA by using cheap base metallic Cu complexes., url;kaken

  • Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), 2006, 2007, 18750053, Principal investigator, 有機金属多核クラスターを基本骨格とする超分子化合物の合成研究, 中島 隆行, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists (B), 3700000, 3700000, 遷移金属錯体は、新規触媒反応の開発といった利用に止まらず、近年金属の多様な配位能や結合様式を利用して、分子認識や光、磁気材料などの機能性材料としての応用が盛んに研究されてきている。 特に、超分子化学の分野では遷移金属錯体を利用し、遷移金属のd軌道の存在により生まれる四面体、平面正方形、八面体等といった幾何学的構造の多様性と、遷移金属と配位子との可逆的な相互作用を利用する事により通常の有機化学の手法を用いたのでは合成困難な多様な構造を有する化合物を一挙に構築している。金属錯体は酸化還元による金属イオンの酸化数の変化をともなう電子機能、d電子の不対スピンに起因する磁気特性、多様な電子遷移に基づく可視領域での色の変化などの特徴を有している事から遷移金属を基本骨格に有する超分子科学の研究は、非常に精力的に行われている。しかし、金属錯体を用いる超分子錯体の研究は、単核の金属錯体を用いたものばかりで、金属-金属結合を持つ有機金属多核クラスターを基本骨格に持つ超分子錯体の合成例は、ほとんど見られない。有機金属多核クラスターは、単核の錯体に見られない多電子移動、磁気的特性を有する事から新しい機能性を超分子化合物に付与する事が期待される。申請者は、上記の研究目的に基づきジエタノールアミン類を配位子とする多核金属クラスターの合成研究を行ってきた。今回、3-[benzyl (2-hydroxyethyl) amino]-1-propanol (LH_2)を配位子として用いることによりニッケル及びコバルトの4核錯体M_4L_2(OAc)_2(MeOH)_2が得られてくることを見出している。ここで,容易に交換可能なメタノール部位を他のアルコール系配位子に置換可能なことが分かった。 そこで,ジオールを用いることにより4核骨格を集積化した直鎖状クラスターが合成することを明らかにし,当初の目標として設定した多核クラスターを基本骨格に持つ超分子錯体の合成を達成することができた。, kaken
