Abstract
Triazole-derived N-heterocyclic carbenes, triazolylidenes (trz) have become an interesting alternative to the ubiquitous Arduengo-type imidazole-derived carbenes, in part because they are stronger donors, and in other parts due to their versatile synthesis through different types of click reactions. While the use of trz ligands has initially focused on their coordination to precious metals for catalytic applications, the recent past has seen a growing interest in their impact on first-row transition metals. Coordination of trz ligands to such 3d metals is more challenging due to the orbital mismatch between the carbene and the 3d metal center, which also affects the stability of such complexes. Here we summarize the strategies that have been employed so far to overcome these challenges and to prepare first-row transition metal complexes containing at least one trz ligand. Both properties and reactivities of these trz complexes are comprehensively compiled, with a focus on photophysical properties and, in particular, on the application of these complexes in homogeneous catalysis. The diversity of catalytic transformations entailed with these trz 3d metal complexes as well as the record-high performance in some of the reactions underpins the benefits imparted by trz ligands.

Abstract
Olefin metathesis is one of the most significant transformations in organic chemistry and is an excellent example for efficient homogeneous catalysis. Although most currently used catalysts are primarily based on 4d and 5d metals, cycloaddition and cycloreversion reactions can also be attributed to first-row transition metals, such as Fe. Surprisingly, the potential of Mn(I)-based catalysts for olefin metathesis has been unexplored despite their prominence in homogeneous catalysis and their diagonal relationship to Ru(II). In the present study, we have investigated the prospective capabilities of Mn complexes for cycloaddition and reversion reactions using density functional theory. Therefore, we have initially compared the literature known iron model systems and their isoelectronic Mn counterparts regarding their reactivity and electronic structure. Next, we constructed potential Mn complexes derived from synthetically accessible species, including carbonyl ligands and obeying octahedral geometry. Based on thermodynamic parameters and the calculation of electronic descriptors, we were able to validate the isodiagonal relationship. Our study serves as guidance for the experimental chemist.

Abstract
A series of six Mn(I) complexes with general formula [MnBr(bisNHC)(CO)3 ], having a bidentate bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand (bisNHC), has been developed by varying the bridging group between the NHC donors, the nitrogen wingtip substituents and the heterocyclic ring. The synthesis of the complexes has been accomplished by in situ transmetalation of the bisNHC from the corresponding silver(I) complexes. Removal of the bromide anion affords the corresponding solvento complexes [Mn(bisNHC)(CO)3 (CH3 CN)](BF4 ). The influence of the bisNHC structure on its electron donor ability has been evaluated by FTIR and 13 C NMR spectroscopy, both in the neutral and cationic complexes. Finally, the isolated Mn(I)-bisNHC complexes have been employed as homogeneous catalysts in the reductive N-formylation and N-methylation of amines with CO2 as C1 source and phenylsilane as reducing agent, showing a high selectivity for the N-methylated product. Preliminary mechanistic investigations suggest that, in the adopted reaction conditions, the formylated product can be formed via different reaction pathways, either metal-catalyzed or not, while the methylation reaction requires the use of the Mn(I) catalyst.

Abstract
![]()
This work demonstrates photocatalytic CO2 reduction
by a noble-metal-free photosensitizer-catalyst system in aqueous solution
under red-light irradiation. A water-soluble Mn(I) tricarbonyl diimine
complex, [MnBr(4,4′-{Et2O3PCH2}2-2,2′-bipyridyl)(CO)3] (1), has been fully characterized, including single-crystal X-ray crystallography,
and shown to reduce CO2 to CO following photosensitization
by tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin Zn(II) tetrachloride
[Zn(TMPyP)]Cl4 (2) under 625 nm irradiation.
This is the first example of 2 employed as a photosensitizer
for CO2 reduction. The incorporation of −P(O)(OEt)2 groups, decoupled from the core of the catalyst by a −CH2– spacer, afforded water solubility without compromising
the electronic properties of the catalyst. The photostability of the
active Mn(I) catalyst over prolonged periods of irradiation with red
light was confirmed by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy. This first report on Mn(I) species as a homogeneous
photocatalyst, working in water and under red light, illustrates further
future prospects of intrinsically photounstable Mn(I) complexes as
solar-driven catalysts in an aqueous environment. A Mn(I) bipyridyl tricarbonyl complex,
where the diimine
ligand is functionalized with water-solubilizing phosphonate ester
groups, has been prepared and is shown to catalytically convert CO2 to CO in aqueous solution following photosensitization from
a water-soluble Zn(II) porphyrin under red-light irradiation.
