Tandem manganese catalysis for the chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective hydroboration of terminal alkynes: in situ precatalyst activation as a key to enhanced chemoselectivity
The manganese(ii) complex [Mn(iPrPNP)Cl2] (iPrPNP = 2,6-bis(diisopropylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) was found to catalyze the stereo- and regioselective hydroboration of terminal alkynes employing HBPin (pinacolborane).

Abstract Intermediates relevant to cobalt‐catalyzed alkene hydroformylation have been isolated and evaluated in fundamental organometallic transformations relevant to aldehyde formation. The 18‐electron (R,R)‐(iPrDuPhos)Co(CO)2H has been structurally characterized, and it promotes exclusive hydrogenation of styrene in the presence of 50 bar of H2/CO gas (1:1) at 100 °C. Deuterium‐labeling studies established reversible 2,1‐insertion of styrene into the Co−D bond of (R,R)‐(iPrDuPhos)Co(CO)2D. Whereas rapid β‐hydrogen elimination from cobalt alkyls occurred under an N2atmosphere, alkylation of (R,R)‐(iPrDuPhos)Co(CO)2Cl in the presence of CO enabled the interception of (R,R)‐(iPrDuPhos)Co(CO)2C(O)CH2CH2Ph, which upon hydrogenolysis under 4 atm H2produced the corresponding aldehyde and cobalt hydride, demonstrating the feasibility of elementary steps in hydroformylation. Both the hydride and chloride derivatives, (X=H−, Cl−), underwent exchange with free13CO. Under reduced pressure, (R,R)‐(iPrDuPhos)Co(CO)2Cl underwent CO dissociation to form (R,R)‐(iPrDuPhos)Co(CO)Cl.more » « less

Secondary‐ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is used to determine impurity concentrations of carbon and oxygen in two scandium‐containing nitride semiconductor multilayer heterostructures: ScxGa1−xN/GaN and ScxAl1−xN/AlN grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). In the ScxGa1−xN/GaN heterostructure grown in metal‐rich conditions on GaN–SiC template substrates with Sc contents up to 28 at%, the oxygen concentration is found to be below 1 × 1019 cm−3, with an increase directly correlated with the scandium content. In the ScxAl1−xN–AlN heterostructure grown in nitrogen‐rich conditions on AlN–Al2O3template substrates with Sc contents up to 26 at%, the oxygen concentration is found to be between 1019and 1021 cm−3, again directly correlated with the Sc content. The increase in oxygen and carbon takes place during the deposition of scandium‐alloyed layers.more » « less

We report the synthesis of molybdenum and tungsten bromo dicarbonyl complexes (POCOPtBu)MIIBr(CO)2(M = Mo or W; POCOPtBu = κ3-C6H3-1,3-[OP( tBu)2]2) supported by an anionic PCP pincer ligand, and the chromium complex (PNPtBu)Cr0(CO)3(PNPtBu = 2,6-bis(di- tert-butyl-phosphinomethyl)pyridine) bearing a neutral PNP pincer scaffold. The three group six complexes described in this study have been characterized by Liquid Injection Field Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LIFDI-MS), NMR, and IR spectroscopy. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies show the MoIIand WIIcomplexes adopt a six-coordinate distorted trigonal prismatic geometry, whereas the Cr0complex exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry.more » « less

Abstract Decarbonylation along with P‐atom transfer from the phosphaethynolate anion, PCO−, to the NbIVcomplex [(PNP)NbCl2(NtBuAr)] (1) (PNP=N[2‐PiPr2‐4‐methylphenyl]2−; Ar=3,5‐Me2C6H3) results in its coupling with one of the phosphine arms of the pincer ligand to produce a phosphanylidene phosphorane complex [(PNPP)NbCl(NtBuAr)] (2). Reduction of2with CoCp*2cleaves the P−P bond to form the first neutral and terminal phosphido complex of a group 5 transition metal, namely, [(PNP)Nb≡P(NtBuAr)] (3). Theoretical studies have been used to understand both the coupling of the P‐atom and the reductive cleavage of the P−P bond. Reaction of3with a two‐electron oxidant such as ethylene sulfide results in a diamagnetic sulfido complex having a P−P coupled ligand, namely [(PNPP)Nb=S(NtBuAr)] (4).more » « less
