Abstract
Proton transfer reactions involving transition metal hydride complexes are prevalent in a number of catalytic fuel-forming reactions, where the proton transfer kinetics to or from the metal center can have significant impacts on the efficiency, selectivity, and stability associated with the catalytic cycle. This review correlates the often slow proton transfer rate constants of transition metal hydride complexes to their electronic and structural descriptors and provides perspective on how to exploit these parameters to control proton transfer kinetics to and from the metal center. A toolbox of techniques for experimental determination of proton transfer rate constants is discussed, and case studies where proton transfer rate constant determination informs fuel-forming reactions are highlighted. Opportunities for extending proton transfer kinetic measurements to additional systems are presented, and the importance of synergizing the thermodynamics and kinetics of proton transfer involving transition metal hydride complexes is emphasized.

Abstract
Diphosphines have taken on a dominant role as supporting ligands in transition-metal chemistry. Here, we describe complexes of the type [Cp*Fe(diphosphine)(X)] (X = Cl, H) where for diphosphine = 1,2-bis(di-allylphosphino)ethane (tape), a Lewis-acidic secondary coordination sphere (SCS) was installed via allyl group hydroboration using dicyclohexylborane (HBCy2). The resulting chloride complex, [Cp*Fe(P2BCy4)(Cl)] (P2BCy4 = 1,2-bis(di(3-cyclohexylboranyl)propylphosphino)ethane), was treated with n-butyllithium (1-10 equiv), resulting incyclometalation at iron. This reactivity is contrasted with [Cp*Fe(dnppe)(Cl)] (dnppe = 1,2-bis(di-n-propylphosphino)ethane), whereby addition of n-butyllithium provides a mixture of products. Overall, cyclometalation is a common elementary transformation in organometallic chemistry; here we describe how this outcome is accessed in response to Lewis acid SCS incorporation.

Abstract
Paramagnetic metal hydride (PMH) complexes play important roles in catalytic applications and bioinorganic chemistry. 3d PMH chemistry has largely focused on Ti, Mn, Fe, and Co. Various MnII PMHs have been proposed as intermediates in catalysis, but isolated MnII PMHs are limited to dimeric high-spin MnII structures with bridging hydrides. In this paper, a series of the first low-spin monomeric MnII PMH complexes are generated by chemical oxidation of their MnI analogues. This series is of the type trans-[MnH(L)(dmpe)2]+/0 where the trans ligand L is PMe3, C2H4, or CO [dmpe is 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane], and the thermal stability of the MnII hydride complexes was found to be strongly dependent on the identity of the trans ligand. When L is PMe3, the complex is the first example of an isolated monomeric MnII hydride complex. In contrast, when L is C2H4 or CO, the complexes are only stable at low temperatures; upon warming to room temperature, the former decomposed to afford [Mn(dmpe)3]+, accompanied by ethane and ethylene, whereas the latter eliminated H2, generating [Mn(MeCN)(CO)(dmpe)2]+ or a mixture of products including [Mn(κ1-PF6)(CO)(dmpe)2], depending on the reaction conditions. All PMHs were characterized by low-temperature electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, and stable [MnH(PMe3)(dmpe)2]+ was further characterized by UV-vis and IR spectroscopy, Superconducting Quantum Interference Device magnetometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Noteworthy spectral properties are the significant EPR superhyperfine coupling to the hydride (∼85 MHz) and an increase (+33 cm-1) in the Mn-H IR stretch upon oxidation. Density functional theory calculations were also employed to gain insights into the acidity and bond strengths of the complexes. MnII-H bond dissociation free energies are estimated to decrease in the series of complexes from 60 (L = PMe3) to 47 kcal/mol (L = CO).

Abstract
Iron complexes bearing 1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene were synthesized and applied to the reaction with hydrosilane and homogeneous catalytic hydrosilylation of aromatic ketones and aldehydes. Addition of a free carbene to a solution of Fe(CO)4Br2 yielded an octahedral, diamagnetic and cationic iron(II) complex [Fe(1,2,3-triazolylidene)(CO)2Br]+. Pyrolysis of the dicarbonyl complex eliminated the two CO ligands to form a paramagnetic four-coordinate complex. A theoretical study using DFT calculations indicated that the spin state changed from singlet to quintet during ligand elimination. Investigations of the successful hydrosilylation of acetophenone and benzaldehyde derivatives using MIC-iron(II) bromide suggested the importance of the base for efficient conversion in the catalytic process. The bromide-to-hydride exchange reaction, transmetallation, of MIC-iron(II) bromide in the presence of KOtBu and HSi(OEt)3 which could occur in the initial process of hydrosilylation was proposed, and supported by a theoretical study.

Abstract
Outer‐sphere radical hydrogenation of olefins proceeds via stepwise hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from transition metal hydride species to the substrate. Typical catalysts exhibit M−H bonds that are either too weak to efficiently activate H2 or too strong to reduce unactivated olefins. This contribution evaluates an alternative approach, that starts from a square‐planar cobalt(II) hydride complex. Photoactivation results in Co−H bond homolysis. The three‐coordinate cobalt(I) photoproduct binds H2 to give a dihydrogen complex, which is a strong hydrogen atom donor, enabling the stepwise hydrogenation of both styrenes and unactivated aliphatic olefins with H2 via HAT.

Abstract
The change in sign of the interaction force constant between element-hydrogen stretching modes of trans-dihydrides of the d block and p block elements is analyzed for the first time. As the transition metal M approaches group 12, the higher energy symmetric trans-H-M-H vibration νsym approaches the energy of the antisymmetric vibration νasym. Crossing to group 13 elements E, the trans-H-E-H vibration νsym increasingly drops below νasym. This reversal is attributed to the d orbital that participates in the H-M-H bonding but is nonbonding in the H-E-H compounds. DFT calculations are used to probe the energetics of isoelectronic triatomic [H-M-H]n+ and [H-E-H]n- to reveal this trend and also to demonstrate that the magnitude of these interactions (νgap) increases down groups 11, 12, and 14 but remains fairly constant for group 13. They are also used to show that this reversal is seen in the transition state for hydride transfer to CO2 from the model compounds trans-NiH2(porphyrin) and trans-EH2(porphyrin), E = Si and Ge in their singlet states.

Abstract
Understanding the thermodynamics of paramagnetic transition metal hydride complexes, especially of the abundant 3d metals, is important in the design of electrocatalysts and organometallic catalysts. The pKaMeCN([MHLn]+/[MLn) of paramagnetic hydrides in MeCN are estimated for the first time using the ligand acidity constant (LAC) equation where contributions to the pKaMeCN from each ligand are simply added together, with the sum corrected for effects of charge and 5d metals. The pKaLAC-MeCN([MHLn]+/MLn) of over 200 hydride complexes MHLn are used, along with their electrochemical potentials from the literature, in an uncommonly applied thermochemical cycle in order to reveal systematic trends in the redox couples MIII/II and MV/IV (M = Cr, Mo, W), MnII/I, ReVI/V and ReIV/III, MIII/II and MIV/III (M = Fe, Ru, Os), and MIII/II and MII/I (M = Co, Rh, and Ir) and allow the estimation of the bond dissociation free energies BDFE(MH) of the unoxidized hydrides MHLn and the prediction of the electrochemical potential for their oxidation. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are used to validate the pKaLAC-MeCN values of hydrides of WIII, MnII, FeIII, RuIII, CoII, and NiIII. When a pKaLAC-MeCN is less than zero for a given complex [MHLn]+, the oxidation of MHLn is irreversible due to proton loss from the oxidized complex to the solvent. When pKaLAC-MeCN ≫ 0, the oxidation is reversible when there is no gross change in the coordination geometry upon a change in the redox state. Twenty paramagnetic hydrides prepared in bulk all have pKaLAC-MeCN > 8.

Abstract
The synthesis and use of the first examples of unsymmetrical, mixed phosphine donor tripodal NPP2' ligands N(CH2CH2PR2)2(CH2CH2PPh2) are presented. The ligands are synthesized via a convenient, one pot reductive amination using 2-(diphenylphosphino)ethylamine and various substituted phosphonium dimers in order to introduce mixed phosphine donors substituted with P/P', those being Ph/Cy (2), Ph/iPr (3), Ph/iBu (4), Ph/o-Tol (5), and Ph/p-Tol (6). Additionally, we have developed the first known synthesis of a symmetrical tripodal NP3 ligand N(CH2CH2PiBu2)3 using bench safe ammonium acetate as the lone nitrogen source (7). This new protocol eliminates the use of extremely dangerous nitrogen mustard reagents typically required to synthesize NP3 ligands. Some of these tetradentate ligands and also P2NN' ligands N(CH2-o-C5H4N)(CH2CH2PR2)2 (P2NN'-Cy, R = Cy; P2NN'-Ph, R = Ph) prepared by reductive amination using 2-picolylamine are used in the synthesis and reactions of iron complexes. FeCl2(P2NN'-Cy) (8) undergoes single halide abstraction with NaBPh4 to give the trigonal bipyramidal complex [FeCl(P2NN'-Cy)][BPh4] (9). Upon exposure to CO(g), complex 9 readily coordinates CO giving [FeCl(P2NN'-Cy)(CO)][BPh4] (10), and further treatment with an excess of NaBH4 results in formation of the hydride complex [Fe(H)(P2NN'-Cy)(CO)][BPh4] (11). Our previously reported complex FeCl2(P2NN'-Ph) undergoes double halide abstraction with NaBPh4 in the presence of the coordinating solvent to give [Fe(NCMe)2(P2NN'-Ph)][BPh4]2 (12). Ligand 3 can be coordinated to FeCl2, and upon sequential halide abstraction, treatment with NaBH4, and exposure to an atmosphere of dinitrogen, the dinitrogen hydride complex [Fe(H)(NPP2'-iPr)(N2)][BPh4] (13) is isolated. Our symmetrical NP3 ligand 7 can also be coordinated to FeCl2 and, upon exposure to an atmosphere of CO(g), selectively forms [FeCl(NP3)(CO)][BPh4] (14) after salt metathesis with NaBPh4. Complex 14 can be treated with an excess of NaBH4 to give the hydride complex [Fe(H)(NP3)(CO)][BPh4] (15), which can further be deprotonated/reduced to the Fe(0) complex Fe(NP3)(CO) (16) upon treatment with an excess of KH.

Abstract
Treatment of [Ir(PPh3)3Cl] with 2-[5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-2-yl]pyridine (Hdpp) in refluxing toluene affords an unexpected pyrrole-metalated iridium(III) hydride complex, [Ir(K2C,N-dpp)(H)(Cl)(PPh3)2] (1), via Cpyrrole-H activation, while the presence of the base KOtBu as the deprotonation reagent produces a pyridine-metalated iridium(III) hydride complex, [Ir(K3C,N,N-dpp)(H)(PPh3)2] (2), via Cpyridine-H activation. Treatment of [Ir(PPh3)3Cl] prepared by a convenient method with Hdpp in the presence of KOtBu under the refluxing mixture solvent toluene/methanol (2:1, v/v) generates the N,N-chelating complex [Ir(K2N,N-dpp)(H)(Cl)(PPh3)2] (3) together with 1 and the N,N-chelating dihydride complex [Ir(K2N,N-dpp)(H)2(PPh3)2] (4). Complex 4 is also readily produced by the reaction of [Ir(PPh3)3Cl] and Hdpp in the presence of KOtBu under refluxing methanol or by the reaction of IrCl3 and PPh3 in refluxing 2-ethoxyethanol. Complexes 1-4 are fully characterized by NMR, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The dpp-/dpp2- ligand shows rich coordination capability, of which pyridine- and pyrrole-cyclometalated coordination modes are first reported. The formation of structural isomers 1 and 3 involved the selective activation of the C-H and N-H bonds of Hdpp is rationalized by theoretical calculations.
