Abstract
This review surveys the synthesis and reactivity of low-oxidation state metalate anions of the d-block elements, with an emphasis on contributions reported between 2006 and 2022. Although the field has a long and rich history, the chemistry of transition metalate anions has been greatly enhanced in the last 15 years by the application of advanced concepts in complex synthesis and ligand design. In recent years, the potential of highly reactive metalate complexes in the fields of small molecule activation and homogeneous catalysis has become increasingly evident. Consequently, exciting applications in small molecule activation have been developed, including in catalytic transformations. This article intends to guide the reader through the fascinating world of low-valent transition metalates. The first part of the review describes the synthesis and reactivity of d-block metalates stabilized by an assortment of ligand frameworks, including carbonyls, isocyanides, alkenes and polyarenes, phosphines and phosphorus heterocycles, amides, and redox-active nitrogen-based ligands. Thereby, the reader will be familiarized with the impact of different ligand types on the physical and chemical properties of metalates. In addition, ion-pairing interactions and metal-metal bonding may have a dramatic influence on metalate structures and reactivities. The complex ramifications of these effects are examined in a separate section. The second part of the review is devoted to the reactivity of the metalates toward small inorganic molecules such as H2, N2, CO, CO2, P4 and related species. It is shown that the use of highly electron-rich and reactive metalates in small molecule activation translates into impressive catalytic properties in the hydrogenation of organic molecules and the reduction of N2, CO, and CO2. The results discussed in this review illustrate that the potential of transition metalate anions is increasingly being tapped for challenging catalytic processes with relevance to organic synthesis and energy conversion. Therefore, it is hoped that this review will serve as a useful resource to inspire further developments in this dynamic research field.

E-H Bond Cleavage Processes in Reactions of Heterometallic Phosphinidene-Bridged MoRe and MoMn Complexes with Hydrogen and p-Block Element Hydrides. Organometallics 2023; 42:2826-2838. [PMID: 37842181 PMCID: PMC10568631 DOI: 10.1021/acs.organomet.3c00295] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/17/2023]
Abstract
Reactions of complexes [MoMCp(μ-PMes*)(CO)6] with H2 and several p-block element (E) hydrides mostly resulted in the cleavage of E-H bonds under mild conditions [M = Re (1a) and Mn (1b); Mes* = 2,4,6-C6H2tBu3]. The reaction with H2 (ca. 4 atm) proceeded even at 295 K to give the hydrides [MoMCp(μ-H)(μ-PHMes*)(CO)6]. The same result was obtained in the reactions with H3SiPh and, for 1a, upon reduction with Na(Hg) followed by protonation of the resulting anion [MoReCp(μ-PHMes*)(CO)6]-. The latter reacted with [AuCl{P(p-tol)3}] to yield the related heterotrimetallic cluster [MoReAuCp(μ-PHMes*)(CO)6{P(p-tol)3}]. The reaction of 1a with thiophenol gave the thiolate-bridged complex [MoReCp(μ-PHMes*)(μ-SPh)(CO)6], which evolved readily to the pentacarbonyl derivative [MoReCp(μ-PHMes*)(μ-SPh)(CO)5]. In contrast, no P-H bond cleavage was observed in reactions of complexes 1a,b with PHCy2, which just yielded the substituted derivatives [MoMCp(μ-PMes*)(CO)5(PHCy2)]. Reactions with HSnPh3 again resulted in E-H bond cleavage, but now with the stannyl group terminally bound to M, while 1a reacted with BH3·PPh3 to give the hydride-bridged derivatives [MoReCp(μ-H)(μ-PHMes*)(CO)5(PPh3)] and [MoReCp(μ-H){μ-P(CH2CMe2)C6H2tBu2}(CO)5(PPh3)], which follow from hydrogenation, C-H cleavage, and CO/PPh3 substitution steps. Density functional theory calculations on the PPh-bridged analogue of 1a revealed that hydrogenation likely proceeds through the addition of H2 to the Mo=P double bond of the complex, followed by rearrangement of the Mo fragment to drive the resulting terminal hydride into a bridging position.

Abstract
A scalable synthesis of the novel and highly reactive [Tc(OH2)(CO)3(PPh3)2]+ cation is described. The ligand-exchange chemistry of this compound with neutral ligands coordinating through C, N, O, S, Se, and Te has been explored systematically. The complexes either retain the original mer-trans tricarbonyl core under exclusive exchange of the aqua ligand or form dicarbonyl complexes by thermal decarbonylation. Ligand exchange reactions starting from [Tc(OH2)(CO)3(PPh3)2]+ proceed under mild conditions and are generally almost quantitative. Some of the formed complexes are remarkably stable and inert, while others provide products with one labile ligand for further reactions. The derived complexes of the type [Tc(L)(CO)3(PPh3)2]+ and [Tc(L)2(CO)2(PPh3)2]+ represent an interesting opportunity for the development of 99mTc complexes with potential use in radiopharmacy. The ready displacement of the aqua ligand highlights the synthetic value of [Tc(OH2)(CO)3(PPh3)2]+ as a reactive entry point for further studies in the little explored field of the organometallic chemistry of technetium.

Abstract
A series of reactions of Cp(CO)2Mn[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CHPh with different gold(i) complexes of [Au-C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C-R]n (R = 4-C5H4N, C6H5) and (tht)AuCl yielded one novel trinuclear MnAuMn cluster. The structure of this cluster can be rationalized as being formed of a vinylidene Mn-Au binuclear and Mn-acetylide fragments, and the binding between those is achieved mainly through the sharing of the electron pair of the single Mn-C σ-bond of an acetylide unit with the gold center.

Abstract
The coordination chemistry of the title diphosphine-borane adduct at heterometallic MoRe centers was examined through its reactions with the hydride complex [MoReCp(μ-H)(μ-PCy2)(CO)5(NCMe)] (Cp = η5-C5H5). The latter reacted rapidly with stoichiometric amounts of dppm·BH3 (dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) in refluxing toluene solution, with displacement of the nitrile ligand, to give [MoReCp(μ-H)(μ-PCy2)(CO)5(κ1P-dppm·BH3)], with a P-bound diphosphine-borane ligand arranged trans to the PCy2 group. Decarbonylation of the latter complex was accomplished rapidly upon irradiation with visible-UV light in toluene solution at 263 K, to give the agostic derivative [MoReCp(μ-H)(μ-PCy2)(CO)4(κ1P,η2-dppm·BH3)] as major product (Mo-Re = 3.2075(5) Å), along with small amounts of the diphosphine-bridged complex [MoReCp(μ-H)(μ-PCy2)(CO)4(μ-dppm)]. Extended photolysis of the agostic complex at 288 K promoted an unprecedented dehydrogenation process involving the borane group and the hydride ligand, to give the diphosphine-boryl complex [MoReCp(μ-η2:κ2P,B-H2B·dppm)(μ-PCy2)(CO)4] (Mo-Re = 3.075(1) Å). The latter displayed a boryl ligand in a novel bridging coordination mode, it being σ-bound to one of the metal atoms (B-Re = 2.38(2) Å) while interacting with the second metal atom via a strong side-on tricentric B-H-M interaction (B-Mo = 2.31(1); H-Mo = 1.9(1) Å). The overall dehydrogenation process was endergonic by 43 kJ/mol, according to density functional theory calculations.

Trapping of an Heterometallic Unsaturated Hydride: Structure and Properties of the Ammonia Complex [MoMnCp(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)(CO)5(NH3)]. INORGANICS 2018.

Abstract
Complexes displaying multiple bonds between different metal atoms have considerable synthetic potential because of the combination of the high electronic and coordinative unsaturation associated to multiple bonds with the intrinsic polarity of heterometallic bonds but their number is scarce and its chemistry has been relatively little explored. In a preliminary study, our attempted synthesis of the unsaturated hydrides [MoMCp(μ-H)(μ-PR2)(CO)5] from anions [MoMCp(μ-PR2)(CO)5]− and (NH4)PF6 yielded instead the ammonia complexes [MoMCp(μ-H)(μ-PR2)(CO)5(NH3)] (M = Mn, R = Ph; M = Re, R = Cy). We have now examined the structure and behaviour of the MoMn complex (Mo–Mn = 3.087(3) Å) and found that it easily dissociates NH3 (this requiring some 40 kJ/mol, according to DFT calculations), to yield the undetectable unsaturated hydride [MoMnCp(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)(CO)5] (computed Mo–Mn = 2.796 Å), the latter readily adding simple donors L such as CNR (R = Xyl, p-C6H4OMe) and P(OMe)3, to give the corresponding electron-precise derivatives [MoMnCp(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)(CO)5(L)]. Thus the ammonia complex eventually behaves as a synthetic equivalent of the unsaturated hydride [MoMnCp(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)(CO)5]. The isocyanide derivatives retained the stereochemistry of the parent complex (Mo–Mn = 3.0770(4) Å when R = Xyl) but a carbonyl rearrangement takes place in the reaction with phosphite to leave the entering ligand trans to the PPh2 group, a position more favoured on steric grounds.

Abstract
The title compound was prepared upon irradiation of acetonitrile solutions of the readily available hexacarbonyl [MoReCp(μ-H)(μ-PCy2)(CO)6]. The acetonitrile ligand in this compound could be replaced easily by donor molecules or displaced upon two-electron reduction. In most cases, the substitution step was followed by additional processes such as insertion into the M-H bonds, E-H bond cleavage, H2 elimination, and other transformations.
