Reactivity of (bi-Oxazoline)organonickel Complexes and Revision of a Catalytic Mechanism

Bi-Oxazoline (biOx) has emerged as an effective ligand framework for promoting nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling, cross-electrophile coupling, and photoredox-nickel dual catalytic reactions. This report fills the knowledge gap of the organometallic reactivity of (biOx)Ni complexes, including catalyst reduction, oxidative electrophile activation, radical capture, and reductive elimination. The biOx ligand displays no redox activity in (biOx)Ni(I) complexes, in contrast to other chelating imine and oxazoline ligands. The lack of ligand redox activity results in more negative reduction potentials of (biOx)Ni(II) complexes and accounts for the inability of zinc and manganese to reduce (biOx)Ni(II) species. On the basis of these results, we revise the formerly proposed “sequential reduction” mechanism of a (biOx)Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction by excluding catalyst reduction steps.

Bis(bipyridine) ruthenium(ii) bis(phosphido) metalloligand: Synthesis of heterometallic complexes and application to catalytic (E)-selective alkyne semi-hydrogenation

The first phosphido derivative of the bis(bipyridine) ruthenium(ii) fragment, cis-[(bpy)2Ru(PPh2)2] ([RuP2]), has been developed and applied as a P-donor metalloligand to form new Ru-Rh, Ru-Ir and Ru2Cu2 heterometallic complexes. The Ru-Ir hydride complex [([RuP2])IrH(NCMe)3][BF4]2 exhibits significant catalytic activity for (E)-selective semi-hydrogenation of alkynes.

Hydrosilane synthesis via catalytic hydrogenolysis of halosilanes using a metal-ligand bifunctional iridium catalyst

Hydrogenolysis of various halosilanes was catalysed by iridium amido complexes to produce hydrosilanes. Selective monohydrogenolysis of di- and trichlorosilanes similarly proceeded, resulting in the formation of chlorohydrosilanes (R2SiHCl or RSiHCl2) as synthetically important building blocks for various organosilicon compounds. A mechanistic study supported the in-situ formation of an iridium hydride species as a key intermediate, which could transfer the hydride to the silicon atom through a metal–ligand bifunctional mechanism. One-pot hydrotrimethylsilylation of olefins was achieved via successive hydrogenolysis and hydrosilylation reactions starting from Me3SiCl.
