Abstract
A new type of rare-earth alkyl complexes supported by monoanionic imidazolin-2-iminato ligands were synthesised and structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction and NMR analyses. The utility of these imidazolin-2-iminato rare-earth alkyl complexes in organic synthesis was demonstrated by their performance in highly regioselective C-H alkylation of anisoles with olefins. With as low as 0.5 mol% catalyst loading, various anisole derivatives without ortho-substitution or 2-methyl substituted anisoles reacted with several alkenes under mild conditions, producing the corresponding ortho-Csp2-H and benzylic Csp3-H alkylation products in high yield (56 examples, 16-99% yields). Control experiments revealed that rare-earth ions, ancillary imidazolin-2-iminato ligands, and basic ligands were crucial for the above transformations. Based on deuterium-labelling experiments, reaction kinetic studies, and theoretical calculations, a possible catalytic cycle was provided to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Abstract
Combined experimental and computational mechanistic studies of the reactions of unsymmetrical, para-substituted N-aryl imidazolium salts, L2-R1,R2, at [MCl2Cp*]2 (M = Rh, Ir) in the presence of NaOAc are reported. These proceed via intermediate N-heterocyclic carbene complexes that then allow an internal competition between two differently substituted aryl rings toward C-H activation to be monitored. At 348 K in dichloroethane C-H activation of the aryl with the more electron-withdrawing substituents is generally favored. DFT calculations show similar barriers for proton transfer and dissociative HOAc/Cl- ligand substitution, with proton transfer favoring electron-donating substituents, and ligand substitution favoring electron-withdrawing substituents. Microkinetic simulations reproduce the experimental preference implying that the ligand substitution step dominates selectivity. For several substrates, notably L2-F,OMe and L2-F,H, running the C-H activation reactions at 298 K in the presence of added [Et4N]Cl reverses the selectivity. The greater availability of chloride in solution makes an alternative dissociative interchange ligand substitution mechanism accessible, leaving proton transfer as selectivity determining and so favoring electron-donating substituents. Our results highlight the potential importance of the ligand substitution step in the interpretation of substituent effects and demonstrate how a simple additive, [Et4N]Cl, can have a dramatic effect on selectivity by changing the mechanism of ligand substitution.

Abstract
Piano-stool iridium complexes based on the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand (Cp*) have been intensively investigated as anticancer drug candidates and hold much promise in this setting. A systematic study aimed at outlining the effect of Cp* mono-derivatization on the antiproliferative activity is presented here. Thus, the dinuclear complexes [Ir(η5-C5Me4R)Cl(μ-Cl)]2 (R = Me, 1a; R = H, 1b; R = Pr, 1c; R = 4-C6H4F, 1d; R = 4-C6H4OH, 1e), their 2-phenylpyridyl mononuclear derivatives [Ir(η5-C5Me4R)(kN,kCPhPy)Cl] (2a-d), and the dimethylsulfoxide complex [Ir{η5-C5Me4(4-C6H4OH)}Cl2(κS-Me2S=O)] (3) were synthesized, structurally characterized, and assessed for their cytotoxicity towards a panel of six human and rodent cancer cell lines (mouse melanoma, B16; rat glioma, C6; breast adenocarcinoma, MCF-7; colorectal carcinoma, SW620 and HCT116; ovarian carcinoma, A2780) and one primary, human fetal lung fibroblast cell line (MRC5). Complexes 2b (R = H) and 2d (4-C6H4F) emerged as the most active ones and were selected for further investigation. They did not affect the viability of primary mouse peritoneal cells, and their tumoricidal action arises from the combined influence on cellular proliferation, apoptosis and senescence. The latter is triggered by mitochondrial failure and production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.

Abstract
Iridium has played an important role in the evolution of C-H activation chemistry over the last half century owing to its high reactivity towards stoichiometric C-H bond cleavage; however, the use of Ir(iii) complexes in catalytic C-H functionalization/C-C bond formation appears to have fallen off significantly. The main problem lies in the reductive elimination step, as iridium has a tendency to form stable and catalytically inactive Ir(iii) species. Herein, with a rationally designed Lewis acid assisted oxidatively induced strategy, the sluggish Ir(iii) reductive elimination is successfully facilitated, enabling the facile C-C bond formation. The X-ray crystal structure of a silver salt adduct of iridacycle and DFT calculations demonstrate that the sulfoxide group acts as a key bridge connecting the Ir(iii) metal centre with the silver Lewis acid, which facilitates the reductive elimination of the Ir(iii) metallacycle. Further identification of oxidants was carried out by performing stoichiometric reactions, which enables the development of catalytic construction of various highly functionalized seven-membered-ring sulfoxides, that are of great interest in medicinal chemistry and materials science.

Abstract
A proof-of-principle study of cascade dehydrogenative cross-coupling of carboranyl carboxylic acid with readily available benzamide has been achieved, resulting in the facile synthesis of previously inaccessible carborano-isoquinolinone derivatives in a simple one-pot process, in which two cage B-H, one aryl C-H, and one N-H bond were sequentially activated to construct efficiently new B-C and B-N bonds, respectively. Under suitable reaction conditions, such cascade cyclization can be stopped at the first B-H/C-H cross-coupling step to give a series of α-carboranyl benzamides, suggesting the preferential occurrence of B-C cross-coupling over that of B-N. The carboxylic acid directing group plays a key role in the B-C cross-coupling step, which is then removed through in situ decarboxylation. The CV results combined with control experiments indicate that high-valent Ir(V)-species may be involved in the reaction pathways, which is crucial for such cascade dehydrogenative cross-coupling reactions. The isolation and structural identification of a key intermediate, its controlled transformations, and deuterium labeling experiments support a new Ir-nitrene-mediated amination for B-H/N-H dehydrocoupling.

Abstract
The reactions of substituted 1-phenylpyrazoles (phpyz-H) at [MCl2Cp*]2 dimers (M = Rh, Ir; Cp* = C5Me5) in the presence of NaOAc to form cyclometalated Cp*M(phpyz)Cl were studied experimentally and with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. At room temperature, time-course and H/D exchange experiments indicate that product formation can be reversible or irreversible depending on the metal, the substituents, and the reaction conditions. Competition experiments with both para- and meta-substituted ligands show that the kinetic selectivity favors electron-donating substituents and correlates well with the Hammett parameter giving a negative slope consistent with a cationic transition state. However, surprisingly, the thermodynamic selectivity is completely opposite, with substrates with electron-withdrawing groups being favored. These trends are reproduced with DFT calculations that show C-H activation proceeds by an AMLA/CMD mechanism. H/D exchange experiments with the meta-substituted ligands show ortho-C-H activation to be surprising facile, although (with the exception of F substituents) this does not generally lead to ortho-cyclometalated products. Calculations suggest that this can be attributed to the difficulty of HOAc loss after the C-H activation step due to steric effects in the 16e intermediate that would be formed. Our study highlights that the use of substituent effects to assign the mechanism of C-H activation in either stoichiometric or catalytic reactions may be misleading, unless the energetics of the C-H cleavage step and any subsequent reactions are properly taken into account. The broader implications of our study for the assignment of C-H activation mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
![]()
The
first Ru(II)-catalyzed arylation of substrates without a directing
group was recently developed. Remarkably, this process only worked
in the presence of a benzoate additive, found to be crucial for the
oxidative addition step at Ru(II). However, the exact mode of action
of the benzoate was unknown. Herein, we disclose a mechanistic study
that elucidates the key role of the benzoate salt in the C–H
arylation of fluoroarenes with aryl halides. Through a combination
of rationally designed stoichiometric experiments and DFT studies,
we demonstrate that the aryl–Ru(II) species arising from initial
C–H activation of the fluoroarene undergoes cyclometalation
with the benzoate to generate an anionic Ru(II) intermediate. The
enhanced lability of this intermediate, coupled with the electron-rich
anionic Ru(II) metal center renders the oxidative addition of the
aryl halide accessible. The role of an additional (NMe4)OC(CF3)3 additive in facilitating the overall
arylation process is also shown to be linked to a shift in the C–H
pre-equilibrium associated with benzoate cyclometalation.

Abstract
A novel, electron-deficient cyclopentadienyl iridium(III) catalyst enables sequential cleavage of arene C(sp2)-H and methoxy C(sp3)-H bonds of anisoles, generating reactive metalacycles that insert difluoroalkynes to afford chromenes under mild reaction conditions. This transformation is an arylalkylation of an alkyne-a carbocarbation-via a nonchelate-assisted cleavage of two C-H bonds.
