Oxidation-induced ambiphilicity triggers N-N bond formation and dinitrogen release in octahedral terminal molybdenum(v) nitrido complexes. Chem Sci 2024; 15:5152-5162.

Abstract
Coupling of octahedral, terminal d1 molybdenum(v) nitrido complexes supported by a dianionic pentadentate ligand via N-N bond formation to give μ-dinitrogen complexes was found to be thermodynamically feasible but faces significant kinetic barriers. However, upon oxidation, a kinetically favored nucleophilic/electrophilic N-N bond forming mechanism was enabled to give monocationic μ-dinitrogen dimers. Computational and experimental evidence for this "oxidation-induced ambiphilic nitrido coupling" mechanism is presented. The factors influencing release of dinitrogen from the resulting μ-dinitrogen dimers were also probed and it was found that further oxidation to a dicationic species is required to induce (very rapid) loss of dinitrogen. The mechanistic path discovered for N-N bond formation and dinitrogen release follows an ECECC sequence (E = "electrochemical step"; C = "chemical step"). Experimental evidence for the intermediacy of a highly electrophilic, cationic d0 molybdenum(vi) nitrido in the N-N bond forming mechanism via trapping with an isonitrile reagent is also discussed. Together these results are relevant to the development of molecular catalysts capable of mediating ammonia oxidation to dihydrogen and dinitrogen.

Abstract
The catalytic system [Ir(CF3CO2)(κ2-NSiMe)2] [1; NSiMe = (4-methylpyridin-2-yloxy)dimethylsilyl]/B(C6F5)3 promotes the selective reduction of CO2 with tertiary silanes to the corresponding bis(silyl)acetal. Stoichiometric and catalytic studies evidenced that species [Ir(CF3COO-B(C6F5)3)(κ2-NSiMe)2] (3), [Ir(κ2-NSiMe)2][HB(C6F5)3] (4), and [Ir(HCOO-B(C6F5)3)(κ2-NSiMe)2] (5) are intermediates of the catalytic process. The structure of 3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Theoretical calculations show that the rate-limiting step for the 1/B(C6F5)3-catalyzed hydrosilylation of CO2 to bis(silyl)acetal is a boron-promoted Si-H bond cleavage via an iridium silylacetal borane adduct.

Abstract
Ammonia oxidation catalyzed by molecular compounds is of current interest as a carbon-free source of dihydrogen. Activation of N-H bonds through coordination to transition metal centers is a key reaction in this process. We report the substantial activation of ammonia via reaction with low-valent molybdenum complexes of a diborate pentadentate ligand system. Spontaneous loss of dihydrogen from (B2 Pz4 Py)MoII -NH3 at room temperature to produce the dinuclear μ-nitrido compound (B2 Pz4 Py)Mo-N-Mo(B2 Pz4 Py) is observed due to substantial N-H bond weakening upon coordination to Mo. Mechanistic details are supported through the experimental observation/characterization of terminal amido, imido and nitrido complexes and density functional theory computations. The generally under-appreciated role of bridging nitrido intermediates is revealed and discussed, providing guidance for further catalyst development for this process.

Treatment of a divalent ytterbium hydride complex [(TpAd,iPr)Yb(H)(THF)] (TpAd,iPr = hydrotris(3-adamantyl-5-isopropyl-pyrazolyl)borate) (1) with CO, CO2 and CS2 resulted in the formation of a divalent ytterbium ethenediolate complex [(TpAd,iPr)Yb]2(cis-OCHCHO) (2), a formate complex [(TpAd,iPr)Yb(κ2-O2CH)(THF)] (3), and a trivalent ytterbium ethenetetrathiolate complex [(TpAd,iPr)YbIII]2(C2S4) (4), respectively. DFT calculations were carried out to elucidate the reaction profiles of complexes 3 and 4.

Abstract
Nitrous oxide is a potential diazo transfer reagent, but its applications in organic chemistry are scarce. Here, we show that triazolopyridines and triazoloquinolines are formed in the reactions of metallated 2-alkylpyridines or 2-alkylquinolines with N2O. The reactions can be performed under mild conditions and give synthetically interesting triazoles in moderate to good yields.

Abstract
A new monoanionic pentadentate ligand is designed to accommodate Sc = E bonds (E = N, P). The imido complex is stable enough to isolate and characterize, and reacts rapidly with CO2. The phosphinidene, on the other hand, is highly reactive and induces C-C bond cleavage to yield a phosphido-pyridyl complex which also undergoes rapid reacton with CO2.

Abstract
The silatrane hydride compound, [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiH, reacts with CO2 in the presence of the [tris(2-pyridylthio)methyl]zinc hydride complex, [Tptm]ZnH, to afford the silyl formate and methoxide derivatives, [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiO2CH and [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiOCH3. The molecular structure of [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiO2CH has been determined by X-ray diffraction, thereby demonstrating that the formate ligand adopts a distal conformation in which the uncoordinated oxygen atom resides with a trans-like disposition relative to silicon. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the atrane motif of [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiO2CH is flexible, such that the energy of the molecule changes relatively little as the Si···N distance varies over the range 2.0–3.0 Å.

Abstract
We report the use of electron rich iron complexes supported by a dianionic diborate pentadentate ligand system, B2Pz4Py, for the coordination and activation of ammonia (NH3) and hydrazine (NH2NH2). For ammonia, coordination to neutral (B2Pz4Py)Fe(ii) or cationic [(B2Pz4Py)Fe(iii)]+ platforms leads to well characterized ammine complexes from which hydrogen atoms or protons can be removed to generate, fleetingly, a proposed (B2Pz4Py)Fe(iii)–NH2 complex (3Ar-NH2). DFT computations suggest a high degree of spin density on the amido ligand, giving it significant aminyl radical character. It rapidly traps the H atom abstracting agent 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxy radical (ArO˙) to form a C–N bond in a fully characterized product (2Ar), or scavenges hydrogen atoms to return to the ammonia complex (B2Pz4Py)Fe(ii)–NH3 (1Ar-NH3). Interestingly, when (B2Pz4Py)Fe(ii) is reacted with NH2NH2, a hydrazine bridged dimer, (B2Pz4Py)Fe(ii)–NH2NH2–Fe(ii)(B2Pz4Py) ((1Ar)2-NH2NH2), is observed at −78 °C and converts to a fully characterized bridging diazene complex, 4Ar, along with ammonia adduct 1Ar-NH3 as it is allowed to warm to room temperature. Experimental and computational evidence is presented to suggest that (B2Pz4Py)Fe(ii) induces reductive cleavage of the N–N bond in hydrazine to produce the Fe(iii)–NH2 complex 3Ar-NH2, which abstracts H˙ atoms from (1Ar)2-NH2NH2 to generate the observed products. All of these transformations are relevant to proposed steps in the ammonia oxidation reaction, an important process for the use of nitrogen-based fuels enabled by abundant first row transition metals. Synopsis: a highly reactive Fe(iii)–NH2 complex is generated via activation of ammonia or hydrazine in reactions of relevance to fundamental steps in ammonia oxidation processes mediated by an abundant, first row transition metal.![]()

Abstract
The homoleptic pyrazolate complexes [CeIII 4 (Me2 pz)12 ] and [CeIV (Me2 pz)4 ]2 quantitatively insert CO2 to give [CeIII 4 (Me2 pz⋅CO2 )12 ] and [CeIV (Me2 pz⋅CO2 )4 ], respectively (Me2 pz=3,5-dimethylpyrazolato). This process is reversible for both complexes, as observed by in situ IR and NMR spectroscopy in solution and by TGA in the solid state. By adjusting the molar ratio, one molecule of CO2 per [CeIV (Me2 pz)4 ] complex could be inserted to give trimetallic [Ce3 (Me2 pz)9 (Me2 pz⋅CO2 )3 (thf)]. Both the cerous and ceric insertion products catalyze the formation of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2 under mild conditions. In the absence of epoxide, the ceric catalyst is prone to reduction by the co-catalyst tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB).

Abstract
The rare-earth elements (Ln = Sc, Y, La-Lu) are widely used in stoichiometric and catalytic carbonyl group transformations. Sufficient availability, non-toxicity, high oxophilicity, tunable ion size/Lewis acidity and enhanced ligand exchangeability have been major driving factors for their successful implementation. Routinely employed reagents for stoichiometric carbonyl group transformations are divalent ytterbium and samarium compounds (e.g., ketone reduction), bimetallic CeCl3/LiR (C-C coupling), or ceric ammonium nitrate CAN (cyclic ketone oxidation). Rare-earth-metal triflates, and in particular Sc(OTf)3, are prominent examples of Lewis acid catalysts for versatile use in organic synthesis (e.g., Aldol and Michael reactions). Moreover, Ln(ii) and Ln(iii) complexes efficiently catalyze the (co)polymerization of carbonyl group-containing monomers including lactones, lactides, acrylates, and carbon dioxide. Featuring the most notorious greenhouse gas, CO2 is currently assessed as a cheap, abundant, and non-toxic C1 building block. Ln(iii) complexes are not only capable of efficient CO2 capture via reversible insertion but also of CO2 activation for catalytic conversions (copolymerization/cycloaddition with epoxides). This perspective focuses on structurally elucidated Ln complexes resulting from ketone or carbonyl derivative activation/insertion as well as carbon dioxide insertion products. The respective compounds will be sorted by structural motifs and, if applicable, details on reactivity and feasibility of catalytic reactions are presented. The article is subdivided in three parts: (i) donor and insertion products of ketones and aldehydes, (ii) redox-enhanced activation of carbonyl derivatives, and (iii) CO2 insertion/redox products and homogeneous catalytic conversion.

Abstract
Catalytic hydrosilylation of carbon dioxide has emerged as a promising approach for carbon dioxide utilization. It allows the reductive transformation of carbon dioxide into value-added products at the levels of formate, formaldehyde, methanol, and methane. Tremendous progress has been made in the area of carbon dioxide hydrosilylation since the first reports in 1981. This focus review describes recent advances in the design and catalytic performance of leading catalyst systems, including transition-metal, main-group, and transition-metal/main-group and main-group/main-group tandem catalysts. Emphasis is placed on discussions of key mechanistic features of these systems and efforts towards the development of more selective, efficient, and sustainable carbon dioxide hydrosilylation processes.

Abstract
The nickel-catalyzed carboxylation of organic halides or pseudohalides using carbon dioxide is an emerging method to prepare synthetically valuable carboxylic acids. Here, we report a detailed mechanistic investigation of these reactions using the carboxylation of aryl halides with (PPh3)2NiIICl2 as a model reaction. Our studies allow us to understand several general features of nickel-catalyzed carboxylation reactions. For example, we demonstrate that both a Lewis acid and halide source are beneficial for catalysis. To this end, we establish that heterogeneous Mn(0) and Zn(0) reductants are multifaceted reagents that generate noninnocent Mn(II) or Zn(II) Lewis acids upon oxidation. In a key result, a rare example of a well-defined nickel(I) aryl complex is isolated, and it is demonstrated that its reaction with carbon dioxide results in the formation of a carboxylic acid in high yield (after workup). The carbon dioxide insertion product undergoes rapid decomposition, which ca These three oxidation states correspond to the onbe circumvented by a ligand metathesis reaction with a halide source. Our studies have led to both a revised mechanism and the development of a broadly applicable strategy to improve reductive carboxylation reactions. A critical component of this strategy is that we have replaced the heterogeneous Mn(0) reductant typically used in catalysis with a well-defined homogeneous organic reductant. Through its use, we have increased the range of ancillary ligands, additives, and substrates that are compatible with the reaction. This has enabled us to perform reductive carboxylations at low catalyst loadings. Additionally, we demonstrate that reductive carboxylations of organic (pseudo)halides can be achieved in high yields in more practically useful, non-amide solvents. Our results describe a mechanistically guided strategy to improve reductive carboxylations through the use of a homogeneous organic reductant, which may be broadly translatable to a wide range of cross-electrophile coupling reactions.
