Abstract
A detailed electronic study of the N-phosphine oxide functionalized imidazolin-2-ylidenes (PoxIms) and imidazolidin-2-ylidenes (SPoxIms) has been performed experimentally using IR, 13C, and 77Se NMR spectroscopies. While the net donor/acceptor properties of the (S)PoxIms could not be differentiated via IR spectroscopy (TEP), NMR spectroscopic methods (HEP, Se) reveal that the (S)PoxIms are slightly weaker σ-donors but stronger π-acceptors compared to common NHCs. Moreover, backbone and substituent-effects could also be resolved by the latter, allowing for a ranking of their electronic properties. Finally, the donicities of these well-designed NHC ligands in their bidentate κ2-C,O modes were evaluated using HEP2 and compared to those of classical chelators.

Abstract
Designing and modulating the electronic and spatial environments surrounding metal centers is a crucial issue in a wide range of chemistry fields that use organometallic compounds. Herein, we demonstrate a Lewis-acid-mediated reversible expansion, contraction, and transformation of the spatial environment surrounding nickel(0) centers that bear N-phosphine oxide-substituted N-heterocyclic carbenes (henceforth referred to as (S)PoxIms). Reaction between tetrahedral (syn-κ-C,O-(S)PoxIm)Ni(CO)2 and Al(C6F5)3 smoothly afforded heterobimetallic Ni/Al species such as trigonal-planar {κ-C-Ni(CO)2}(μ-anti-(S)PoxIm){κ-O-Al(C6F5)3} via a complexation-induced rotation of the N-phosphine oxide moieties, while the addition of 4-dimethylaminopyridine resulted in the quantitative regeneration of the former Ni complexes. The corresponding interconversion also occurred between (SPoxIm)Ni(η2:η2-diphenyldivinylsilane) and {κ-C-Ni(η2:η2-diene)}(μ-anti-SPoxIm){κ-O-Al(C6F5)3} via the coordination and dissociation of Al(C6F5)3. The shape and size of the space around the Ni(0) center was drastically changed through this Lewis-acid-mediated interconversion. Moreover, the multinuclear NMR, IR, and XAS analyses of the aforementioned carbonyl complexes clarified the details of the changes in the electronic states on the Ni centers; i.e., the electron delocalization was effectively enhanced among the Ni atom and CO ligands in the heterobimetallic Ni/Al species. The results presented in this work thus provide a strategy for reversibly modulating both the electronic and spatial environment of organometallic complexes, in addition to the well-accepted Lewis-base-mediated ligand-substitution methods.

Abstract
![]()
Chemisorption
on organometallic-based adsorbents is crucial for
the controlled separation and long-term storage of gaseous molecules.
The formation of covalent bonds between the metal centers in the adsorbents
and the targeted gases affects the desorption efficiency, especially
when the oxidation state of the metal is low. Herein, we report a
pressure-responsive nickel(0)-based system that is able to reversibly
chemisorb carbon monoxide (CO) at room temperature. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands with hemi-labile N-phosphine oxide substituents facilitates both the adsorption
and desorption of CO on nickel(0) via ligand substitution. Ionic liquids
were used as the reaction medium to enhance the desorption rate and
establish a reusable system. These results showcase a way for the
sustainable chemisorption of CO using a zero-valent transition-metal
complex.

A boron-transfer mechanism mediating the thermally induced revival of frustrated carbene-borane pairs from their shelf-stable adducts. Commun Chem 2021; 4:137. [PMID: 36697789 PMCID: PMC9814311 DOI: 10.1038/s42004-021-00576-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Chemists have designed strategies that trigger the conformational isomerization of molecules in response to external stimuli, which can be further applied to regulate the complexation between Lewis acids and bases. We have recently developed a system in which frustrated carbene-borane pairs are revived from shelf-stable but external-stimuli-responsive carbene-borane adducts comprised of N-phosphine-oxide-substituted imidazolylidenes (PoxIms) and triarylboranes. Herein, we report the detailed mechanism on this revival process. A thermally induced borane-transfer process from the carbene carbon atom to the N-phosphinoyl oxygen atom initiates the transformation of the carbene-borane adduct. Subsequent conformational isomerization via the rotation of the N-phosphinoyl group in PoxIm moieties eventually leads to the revival of frustrated carbene-borane pairs that can cleave H2. We believe that this work illustrates an essential role of dynamic conformational isomerization in the regulation of the reactivity of external-stimuli-responsive Lewis acid-base adducts that contain multifunctional substituents.
