Abstract a , Me;b , Et;c ,n ‐Bu;d ,n ‐Dec;e , Bn;f ,p ‐tolCH2) are combined with (p ‐tol3P)2PtCl2ortrans ‐(p‐ tol3P)2Pt((C≡C)2H)2to give the chelatescis ‐(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)PtCl2(2 a –f , 94–69 %) orcis ‐(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt((C≡C)2H)2(3 a –f , 97–54 %). Complexes3 a –d are also available from2 a –d and excess 1,3‐butadiyne in the presence of CuI (cat.) and excess HNEt2(87–65 %). Under similar conditions,2 and3 react to give the title compounds [(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)[Pt(C≡C)2]4(4 a –f ; 89–14 % (64 % avg)), from which ammonium salts such as the co‐product [H2NEt2]+Cl−are challenging to remove. Crystal structures of4 a ,b show skew rhombus as opposed to square Pt4geometries. The NMR and IR properties of4 a –f are similar to those of mono‐ or diplatinum model compounds. However, cyclic voltammetry gives only irreversible oxidations. As compared to mono‐platinum or Pt(C≡C)2Pt species, the UV‐visible spectra show much more intense and red‐shifted bands. Time dependent DFT calculations define the transitions and principal orbitals involved. Electrostatic potential surface maps reveal strongly negative Pt4C16cores that likely facilitate ammonium cation binding. Analogous electronic properties of Pt3C12and Pt5C20homologs and selected equilibria are explored computationally. -
Calcium‐Ion Binding Mediates the Reversible Interconversion of Cis and Trans Peroxido Dicopper Coresmore » « less
Abstract Coupled dinuclear copper oxygen cores (Cu2O2) featured in type III copper proteins (hemocyanin, tyrosinase, catechol oxidase) are vital for O2transport and substrate oxidation in many organisms.
μ ‐1,2‐cis peroxido dicopper cores (C P ) have been proposed as key structures in the early stages of O2binding in these proteins; their reversible isomerization to other Cu2O2cores are directly relevant to enzyme function. Despite the relevance of such species to type III copper proteins and the broader interest in the properties and reactivity of bimetallicC P cores in biological and synthetic systems, the properties and reactivity ofC P Cu2O2species remain largely unexplored. Herein, we report the reversible interconversion ofμ ‐1,2‐trans peroxido (T P ) andC P dicopper cores. CaIImediates this process by reversible binding at the Cu2O2core, highlighting the unique capability for metal‐ion binding events to stabilize novel reactive fragments and control O2activation in biomimetic systems. -

Abstract A series of molecular Mn catalysts featuring aniline groups in the second‐coordination sphere has been developed for electrochemical and photochemical CO2reduction. The arylamine moieties were installed at the 6 position of 2,2’‐bipyridine (bpy) to generate a family of isomers in which the primary amine is located at the
ortho‐ (1‐Mn ),meta‐ (2‐Mn ), orpara‐ site (3‐Mn ) of the aniline ring. The proximity of the second‐sphere functionality to the active site is a critical factor in determining catalytic performance. Catalyst1‐Mn , possessing the shortest distance between the amine and the active site, significantly outperformed the rest of the series and exhibited a 9‐fold improvement in turnover frequency relative to parent catalyst Mn(bpy)(CO)3Br (901 vs. 102 s−1, respectively) at 150 mV lower overpotential. The electrocatalysts operated with high faradaic efficiencies (≥70 %) for CO evolution using trifluoroethanol as a proton source. Notably, under photocatalytic conditions, a concentration‐dependent shift in product selectivity from CO (at high [catalyst]) to HCO2H (at low [catalyst]) was observed with turnover numbers up to 4760 for formic acid and high selectivities for reduced carbon products. -

Abstract This work focuses on the synthesis of supported Rh materials and study of their efficacy as pre‐catalysts for the oxidative alkenylation of arenes. Rhodium particles supported on silica (Rh/SiO2; ∼3.6 wt% Rh) and on nitrogen‐doped carbon (Rh/NC; ∼1.0 wt% Rh) are synthesized and tested. Heating mixtures of Rh/SiO2or Rh/NC with benzene and ethylene or α‐olefins and CuX2{X=OPiv (trimethylacetate) or OHex (2‐ethyl hexanoate)} to 150 °C results in the production of alkenyl arenes. When using Rh/SiO2or Rh/NC as catalyst precursor, the conversion of benzene and propylene or toluene and 1‐pentene yields a ratio of anti‐Markovnikov to Markovnikov products that is nearly identical to the same ratios as the molecular catalyst precursor [Rh(μ‐OAc)(
η 2‐C2H4)2]2. These results and other observations are consistent with the formation of active catalysts by leaching of soluble Rh from the supported Rh materials.
