The synthesis of rhodium complexes with weakly binding highly fluorinated benzene ligands is described: 1,2,3-F3C6H3, 1,2,3,4-F4C6H2 and 1,2,3,4,5-F5C6H are shown to bind with cationic [Rh(Cy2P(CH2)xPCy2)]+ fragments (x=1, 2). Their structures and reactivity with alkenes, and use in catalysis for promoting the Tishchenko reaction of a simple aldehyde, are demonstrated. Key to the synthesis of these complexes is the highly concentrated reaction conditions and use of the [Al{OC(CF3)3}4]? anion.

In search of stable, yet reactive aluminum Lewis acids, we have isolated an organoaluminum cation, [(Me2NC6H4)2Al(C4H8O)2]+, coordinated with two labile tetrahydrofuran ligands. Its catalytic performance in aldehyde dimerization reveals turn-over frequencies reaching up to 6000 h-1, exceeding that of the reported main group catalysts. The cation is further demonstrated to catalyze hydroelementation of ketones. Mechanistic investigations reveal that aldehyde dimerization and ketone hydrosilylation occur through carbonyl activation.
Synthesis, characterization and catalytic performances of benzimidazolin-2-iminato actinide (IV) complexes in the Tishchenko reactions for symmetrical and unsymmetrical esters

A new family of benzimdazolin-2-iminato actinide?(IV) complexes [(Bim7-MeDipp/MeN)An(N(SiMe3)2)3] (An = U (3), Th (4)) and [(Bim4-MeDipp/MeN)An(N(SiMe3)2)3] (An = U (5), Th (6)) were synthesized and their solid state structures were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The catalytic performances of complexes 3–6 towards the homo- and cross-coupling of aldehydes (Tishchenko reaction) were studied and the thorium complexes 4 and 6 displayed moderate to high activities for the production of the corresponding symmetric and unsymmetrical esters. Coupling of aldehyde and alcohols, known as the tandem proton-transfer esterification, and the intermolecular coupling reaction between aldehyde and trifluoromethylketones were also investigated by these thorium complexes, indicating a complementary method to obtain unsymmetrical esters selectively. Plausible mechanisms for these reactions are proposed based on stoichiometric studies.
