Divalent Titanium via Reductive N-C Coupling of a Ti IV Nitrido with π-Acids. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202404601. [PMID: 38619509 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202404601] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024]
Abstract
The nitrido-ate complex [(PN)2Ti(N){μ2-K(OEt2)}]2 (1) (PN-=(N-(2-PiPr2-4-methylphenyl)-2,4,6-Me3C6H2) reductively couples CO and isocyanides in the presence of DME or cryptand (Kryptofix222), to form rare, five-coordinate TiII complexes having a linear cumulene motif, [K(L)][(PN)2Ti(NCE)] (E=O, L=Kryptofix222, (2); E=NAd, L=3 DME, (3); E=NtBu, L=3 DME, (4); E=NAd, L=Kryptofix222, (5)). Oxidation of 2-5 with [Fc][OTf] afforded an isostructural TiIII center containing a neutral cumulene, [(PN)2Ti(NCE)] (E=O, (6); E=NAd (7), NtBu (8)) and characterization by CW X-band EPR spectroscopy, revealed unpaired electron to be metal centric. Moreover, 1e- reduction of 6 and 7 in the presence of Kryptofix222cleanly reformed corresponding discrete TiII complexes 2 and 5, which were further characterized by solution magnetization measurements and high-frequency and -field EPR (HFEPR) spectroscopy. Furthermore, oxidation of 7 with [Fc*][B(C6F5)4] resulted in a ligand disproportionated TiIV complex having transoid carbodiimides, [(PN)2Ti(NCNAd)2] (9). Comparison of spectroscopic, structural, and computational data for the divalent, trivalent, and tetravalent systems, including their 15N enriched isotopomers demonstrate these cumulenes to decrease in order of backbonding as TiII→TiIII→TiIV and increasing order of π-donation as TiII→TiIII→TiIV, thus displaying more covalency in TiIII species. Lastly, we show a synthetic cycle whereby complex 1 can deliver an N-atom to CO and CNAd.

Abstract
The chemical vapor deposition of refractory metal nitrides requires volatile precursors and has previously been achieved by using metal complexes containing a variety of imide ligands. Recently, the 1,4-di-tert-butyl-1,3-diazabutadiene (DAD) adduct of bis(tert-butylimide)dichloridemolybdenum(VI) was shown to be an excellent precursor for the single-source CVD of Mo2N thin films. Leveraging the success of this work, we prepared chromium and tungsten compounds with the same framework. Additionally, the framework has been modified slightly to allow the isolation of mono(tert-butylimide)trichloride complexes of vanadium, niobium, tantalum, and molybdenum(V) to extend the search for new vapor-phase precursors. These compounds were all fully characterized using the standard methods of multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, combustion analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their thermal properties were determined by using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning colorimetry to assess their utility as vapor-phase precursors. Finally, preliminary deposition studies were carried out to investigate their potential as single-source CVD precursors.

Abstract
Titanium nitride (TiN) has recently emerged as an alternative to coinage metals to enable the development of integrated plasmonic devices at visible and medium-infrared wavelengths. In this regard, its optical performance can be conveniently tuned by tailoring the process parameters of physical vapor deposition methods, such as magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser deposition (PLD). This review first introduces the fundamental features of TiN and a description on its optical properties, including insights on the main experimental techniques to measure them. Afterwards, magnetron sputtering and PLD are selected as fabrication techniques for TiN nanomaterials. The fundamental mechanistic aspects of both techniques are discussed in parallel with selected case studies from the recent literature, which elucidate the critical advantages of such techniques to engineer the nanostructure and the plasmonic performance of TiN.

Abstract
Nitrogen fixation is confronted with great challenges in the field of chemistry. Herein, we report that single metal carbides PtCn- and PtCnN2- (n = 4-6) are indispensable intermediates in the process of nitrogen fixation by mass spectrometry coupled with anionic photoelectron spectroscopy, quantum chemical calculations, and simulated density-of-state spectra. The most stable isomers of these cluster anions are characterized to have linear chain structures. The fixation and activation of dinitrogen are facilitated by the charge transfer from Pt and Cn to N2. The significance of π back-donation of the 5d orbital of the Pt atom to the antibonding π orbits of N2 for dinitrogen fixation and activation is discussed in detail. This study not only provides a theoretical basis at the molecular level for the activation of dinitrogen by mononuclear metal carbide clusters but also provides a new paradigm for dinitrogen fixation.

Abstract
Nanophotonics and optoelectronics are the keys to the information transmission technology field. The performance of the devices crucially depends on the light-matter interaction, and it is found that three-dimensional (3D) structures may be associated with strong light field regulation for advantageous application. Recently, 3D assembly of flexible nanomembranes has attracted increasing attention in optical field, and novel optoelectronic device applications have been demonstrated with fantastic 3D design. In this review, we first introduce the fabrication of various materials in the form of nanomembranes. On the basis of the deformability of nanomembranes, 3D structures can be built by patterning and release steps. Specifically, assembly methods to build 3D nanomembrane are summarized as rolling, folding, buckling and pick-place methods. Incorporating functional materials and constructing fine structures are two important development directions in 3D nanophotonics and optoelectronics, and we settle previous researches on these two aspects. The extraordinary performance and applicability of 3D devices show the potential of nanomembrane assembly for future optoelectronic applications in multiple areas.

Abstract
Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNT) are manufactured nanomaterials with excellent properties and great potential for numerous applications. Recently, research has intensified toward achieving VACNT synthesis on different planar and non-planar substrates of various natures, mainly dependent on the user-defined application. Indeed, VACNT growth has to be adjusted and optimized according to the substrate nature and shape to reach the requirements for the application envisaged. To date, different substrates have been decorated with VACNT, involving the use of diffusion barrier layers (DBLs) that are often insulating, such as SiO2 or Al2O3. These commonly used DBLs limit the conducting and other vital physico-chemical properties of the final nanomaterial composite. One interesting route to improve the contact resistance of VACNT on a substrate surface and the deficient composite properties is the development of semi-/conducting interlayers. The present review summarizes different methods and techniques for the deposition of suitable conducting interfaces and controlled growth of VACNT on diverse flat and 3-D fibrous substrates. Apart from exhibiting a catalytic efficiency, the DBL can generate a conducting and adhesive interface involving performance enhancements in VACNT composites. The abilities of different conducting interlayers are compared for VACNT growth and subsequent composite properties. A conducting interface is also emphasized for the synthesis of VACNT on carbonaceous substrates in order to produce cost-effective and high-performance nano-engineered carbon composites.

Abstract
We have performed a study on the accommodation of nitrogen doping toward superatomic states of transition metal clusters. By reacting cobalt clusters with N2 in the presence of plasma radiation, a large number of odd-nitrogen clusters were observed, typically Co3 N2m-1 + (m=1-5) and Co4 N2m-1 + (m=1-6) series, showing N≡N bond cleavage in the mild plasma atmosphere. Interestingly, the Co3 N7 + , Co4 N9 + , and Co5 N9 + clusters exhibit prominent mass abundances. First-principles calculation results elucidate the stability of the diverse cobalt nitride clusters and find unique stability of Co4 N9 + with a swallow-kite structure of which four coordinated N2 molecules causes a significantly enlarged HOMO-LUMO gap, while the single N atom doping gives rise to superatomic states of 1S2 1P3 ||1D0 . We reveal an efficient dinitrogen activation strategy by reacting multiple N2 molecules with cobalt clusters under a plasma atmosphere.

Abstract
Transmetallation of [VCl3(THF)3] and [TlTptBu,Me] afforded [(TptBu,Me)VCl2] (1, TptBu,Me = hydro-tris(3-tert-butyl-5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borate), which was reduced with KC8 to form a C3v symmetric VII complex, [(TptBu,Me)VCl] (2). Complex 1 has a high-spin (S = 1) ground state and displays rhombic high-frequency and -field electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR) spectra, while complex 2 has an S = 3/2 4A2 ground state observable by conventional EPR spectroscopy. Complex 1 reacts with NaN3 to form the VV nitride-azide complex [(TptBu,Me)V≡N(N3)] (3). A likely VIII azide intermediate en route to 3, [(TptBu,Me)VCl(N3)] (4), was isolated by reacting 1 with N3SiMe3. Complex 4 is thermally stable but reacts with NaN3 to form 3, implying a bis-azide intermediate, [(TptBu,Me)V(N3)2] (A), leading to 3. Reduction of 3 with KC8 furnishes a trinuclear and mixed-valent nitride, [{(TptBu,Me)V}2(μ4-VN4)] (5), conforming to a Robin-Day class I description. Complex 5 features a central vanadium ion supported only by bridging nitride ligands. Contrary to 1, complex 2 reacts with NaN3 to produce an azide-bridged dimer, [{(TptBu,Me)V}2(1,3-μ2-N3)2] (6), with two antiferromagnetically coupled high-spin VII ions. Complex 5 could be independently produced along with [(κ2-TptBu,Me)2V] upon photolysis of 6 in arene solvents. The putative {VIV≡N} intermediate, [(TptBu,Me)V≡N] (B), was intercepted by photolyzing 6 in a coordinating solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), yielding [(TptBu,Me)V≡N(THF)] (B-THF). In arene solvents, B-THF expels THF to afford 5 and [(κ2-TptBu,Me)2V]. A more stable adduct (B-OPPh3) was prepared by reacting B-THF with OPPh3. These adducts of B are the first neutral and mononuclear VIV nitride complexes to be isolated.

Abstract
Chemical vapor deposited (CVD) amorphous tantalum-oxy nitride film on porous three-dimensional (3D) nickel foam (TaNx(Oy)/NF) utilizing tantalum precursor, tris(diethylamino)(ethylimino)tantalum(V), ([Ta(NEt)(NEt2)3]) with preformed Ta-N bonds is reported as a potential self-supported electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The morphological analyses revealed the formation of thin film of core-shell structured TaNx(Oy) coating (ca. 236 nm) on NF. In 0.5 M H2SO4, TaNx(Oy)/NF exhibited enhanced HER activity with a low onset potential as compared to the bare NF (-50 mV vs. -166 mV). The TaNx(Oy)/NF samples also displayed higher current density (-11.08 mA cm-2vs. -3.36 mA cm-2 at 400 mV), lower Tafel slope (151 mV dec-1vs. 179 mV dec-1) and lower charge transfer resistance exemplifying the advantage of TaNx(Oy) coating towards enhanced HER performance. The enhanced HER catalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effect between the amorphous TaNx(Oy) film and the nickel foam.

Abstract
Metal nitride nanocrystals are a versatile class of nanomaterials. Depending on their chemical composition, the optical properties vary from those of traditional semiconductor nanocrystals (called quantum dots) to more metallic character (featuring a plasmon resonance). However, the synthesis of colloidal metal nitride nanocrystals is challenging since the underlying precursor chemistry is much less developed compared to the chemistry of metal, metal chalcogenide or metal phosphide nanocrystals. Here, we review chemical approaches that lead (or could lead) to the formation of colloidally stable metal nitride nanocrystals. By systematically comparing different synthetic approaches, we uncover trends and gain insight into the chemistry of these challenging materials. We also discuss and critically evaluate the plausibility of certain suggested mechanisms. This review is meant as a guide for the further development of colloidal nitride nanocrystals.

Abstract
Thin-film growth is a platform technique that allows the preparation of various undeveloped materials and enables the development of novel energy generation devices. Preferred phase formation, control of crystalline orientation and quality, defect concentration, and stoichiometry in thin films are important for obtaining thin films exhibiting desired physical and chemical properties. In particular, the control of crystalline phase formation by utilizing thin-film technology favors the preparation of undeveloped materials. In this study, thin-film growth of transition metal nitride and rare-earth metal boride was performed using remote plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy and hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition techniques, and was successfully achieved by tuning the competition between thermodynamics and kinetics during vapor-phase thin-film growth. Growth conditions of high crystalline quality titanium nitride thin films and high phase purity ytterbium boride thin films were not thermodynamically favorable. Appropriate control of the contribution degree of thermodynamics and kinetics during vapor-phase thin-film growth is crucial for fabricating high phase purity and high crystalline quality thin films.

Abstract
We present two important trends in the reactivity of the titanium complex [MeNacNacTi(Cl){η2-P(SiMe3)-PtBu2}] (MeNacNac- = [Ar]NC(Me)CHC(Me)N[Ar]; Ar = 2,6-iPr2Ph) with nucleophilic reagents RLi (R = Ph2P, tBuO, (Me3Si)2N, and tBu2N) depending on the reaction medium. Reaction in nonpolar solvent (toluene) leads to three main products: via an autoredox process and nucleophilic substitution at the Ti-atom to afford the Ti(IV) complex [MeNacNacTi(R){η2-P-PtBu2}] (1 for R = PPh2), via the elimination of Me3SiR to afford Ti(III) complex [MeNacNacTi(Cl){η2-P-PtBu2}]-[Li(12-crown-4)2]+ (2), and via 2e- reduction process to afford new ionic complex [{ArNC(Me)CHC(Me)}Ti═NAr{η1-P(SiMe3)-PtBu2}]-[Li(12-crown-4)2]+ (3). Quite differently, the complex [MeNacNacTi(Cl){η2-P(SiMe3)-PtBu2}] reacts with Ph2PLi in THF, unexpectedly yielding two new, four-coordinate Ti(IV) imido complexes 4a [{ArNC(Me)═CHC(H)(Me)-P(PtBu2)}Ti═NAr(Cl)]-[Li(12-crown-4)2]+·(toluene)2 and 4b [{ArNC(CH2)CH═C(Me)-P(PtBu2)}Ti═NAr(Cl)]-[Li(12-crown-4)2]+·(Et2O). Complex 2 dissolved in THF converts to 4a and 4b. 1, 2, 3, 4a, and 4b were characterized by X-ray diffraction. 1, 4a, and 4b were also fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
Tungsten nitrido amido guanidinato complexes of the type WN(NR2)[(NR')2C(NR2)]2 (R = Me, Et; R' = i Pr, Cy) were synthesized as precursors for aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) of WNxCy thin films. The reaction of tungsten nitrido amido complexes of the type WN(NR2)3 (R = Me, Et) with two equivalents of a carbodiimide R'N=C=NR' (R' = i Pr, Cy) resulted in two insertions of a carbodiimide into W-N(amido) bonds, affording bis(guanidinato) amido nitrido tungsten complexes. These compounds were characterized by 14N NMR, indicating distinctive chemical shifts for each type of N-bound ligand. Crystallographic structure determination of WN(NMe2)[(N i Pr)2C(NMe2)]2 showed the guanidinato ligands to be non-equivalent. The complex WN(NMe2)[(N i Pr)2C(NMe2)]2 was demonstrated to serve as a precursor for AACVD of WNxCy thin films, resulting in featureless, X-ray amorphous thin films for growth temperatures 200 - 400 °C.

Abstract
High-performance electrode materials are the key to advances in the areas of energy conversion and storage (e.g., fuel cells and batteries). In this Review, recent progress in the synthesis and electrochemical application of transition metal carbides (TMCs) and nitrides (TMNs) for energy storage and conversion is summarized. Their electrochemical properties in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries as well as in supercapacitors, and electrocatalytic reactions (oxygen evolution and reduction reactions, and hydrogen evolution reaction) are discussed in association with their crystal structure/morphology/composition. Advantages and benefits of nanostructuring (e.g., 2D MXenes) are highlighted. Prospects of future research trends in rational design of high-performance TMCs and TMNs electrodes are provided at the end.
