Abstract i Pr2C6H3} with E[N(SiMe3)2]2(E=Sn, Pb) afforded the unusual dimeric dimetallotetrylenes ([MeBDIDipp]IrH)2(μ 2‐E)2in good yields. Moreover, ([MeBDIDipp]IrH)2(μ 2‐Ge)2was formed in situ from thermal decomposition of [MeBDIDipp]Ir(H)2Ge[N(SiMe3)2]2. These reactions are accompanied by liberation of HN(SiMe3)2and H2through the apparent cleavage of an E−N(SiMe3)2bond by Ir−H. In a reversal of this process, ([MeBDIDipp]IrH)2(μ 2‐E)2reacted with excess H2to regenerate [MeBDIDipp]IrH4. Varying the concentrations of reactants led to formation of the trimeric ([MeBDIDipp]IrH2)3(μ 2‐E)3. The further scope of this synthetic route was investigated with group 15 amides, and ([MeBDIDipp]IrH)2(μ 2‐Bi)2was prepared by the reaction of [MeBDIDipp]IrH4with Bi(NMe2)3or Bi(Ot Bu)3to afford the first example of a “naked” two‐coordinate Bi atom bound exclusively to transition metals. A viable mechanism that accounts for the formation of these products is proposed. Computational investigations of the Ir2E2(E=Sn, Pb) compounds characterized them as open‐shell singlets with confined nonbonding lone pairs at the E centers. In contrast, Ir2Bi2is characterized as having a closed‐shell singlet ground state. -

Abstract A family of cerium complexes featuring a redox‐active ligand in different oxidation states has been synthesized, including the the iminosemiquinone (isq)1−compound, Ce(dippisq)3(
1‐Ceisq ), and the amidophenolate (ap)2−species CeIII(dippap)3K3(2‐Ceap ), [CeIII(dippap)3K][K(18‐c‐6)]2(2‐Ceap 18c6 ), and [CeIII(dippap)3K][K(15‐c‐5)2]2(2‐Ceap 15c5 ). Treating2‐Ceap 15c5 with dioxogen furnishes the cerium(IV) derivative [CeIV(dippap)3][K(15‐c‐5)2]2(3‐Ceap 15c5 ), and an analogous synthesis can be used to generate [CeIV(dippap)3][K(crypt)]2(3‐Ceap crypt ). Similarly, addition of hexamethyldisiloxane produces an interesting bis(amidophenolate) species, [(Me3SiO)2CeIV(dippap)2][K(15‐c‐5)2]2(4‐CeOSiMe3 ). Full spectroscopic and structural characterization of each derivative was performed to establish the oxidation states of both the ligands and the cerium ions. -

Abstract Described here is a direct entry to two examples of 3d transition metal catalysts that are active for the cyclic polymerization of phenylacetylene, namely, [(BDI)M{κ2‐
C ,C ‐(Me3SiC3SiMe3)}] (2‐M ) (BDI=[ArNC(CH3)]2CH−, Ar=2,6‐i Pr2C6H3;M =Ti, V ). Catalysts are prepared in one step by the treatment of [(BDI)MCl2] (1‐M ,M =Ti ,V ) with 1,3‐dilithioallene [Li2(Me3SiC3SiMe3)]. Complexes2‐M have been spectroscopically and structurally characterized and the polymers that are catalytically formed from phenylacetylene were verified to have a cyclic topology based on a combination of size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC) and intrinsic viscosity studies. Two‐electron oxidation of2‐V with nitrous oxide (N2O) cleanly yields a [VV] alkylidene‐alkynyl oxo complex [(BDI)V(=O){κ1‐C ‐(=C(SiMe3)CC(SiMe3))}] (3 ), which lends support for how this scaffold in2‐M might be operating in the polymerization of the terminal alkyne. This work demonstrates how alkylidynes can be circumvented using 1,3‐dianionic allene as a segue into M−C multiple bonds. -

Abstract Herein we combine the subcomponent self‐assembly and integrative self‐sorting techniques with the well‐established platinum(II)‐pyridine coordination‐driven self‐assembly to report the quantitative synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of a heterometallic CuI‐PtIIquadrilateral
QL that is formed from a total of twelve molecular components from four unique species, including 5‐(pyridin‐4‐ylethynyl)picolinaldehyde (1 ),p ‐toluidine (2 ), [Cu(CH3CN4](PF6) (3 ), andcis ‐Pt(PEt3)2(OTf)2(4 ), in a 4:4:2:2 ratio. Despite the many different entities potentially forming from these four precursor units, the clean formation ofQL is mainly guided by the different coordination preferences of the metal ions3 and4 , and the design criteria inherent in compounds1 and2 . -

Abstract This computational study explores the copper (I) chloride catalyzed synthesis of (E)‐1‐(2,2‐dichloro‐1‐phenylvinyl)‐2‐phenyldiazene (
2Cl‐VD ) from readily available hydrazone derivative and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4).2Cl‐VD has been extensively utilized to synthesize variety of heterocyclic organic compounds in mild conditions. The present computational investigations primarily focus on understanding the role of copper (I) andN 1 ,N 1 ,N 2 ,N 2 ‐tetramethylethane‐1,2‐diamine (TMEDA) in this reaction, TMEDA often being considered a proton scavenger by experimentalists. Considering TMEDA as a ligand significantly alters the energy barrier. In fact, it is only 8.3 kcal/mol higher compared to the ligand‐free (LF) route for the removal of a chlorine atom to form the radical· CCl3but the following steps are almost barrierless. This intermediate then participates in attacking the electrophilic carbon in the hydrazone. Crucially, the study reveals that the overall potential energy surface is thermodynamically favorable, and the theoretical turnover frequency (TOF) value is higher in the case of Cu(I)‐TMEDA complex catalyzed pathway.
