Heteroleptic Complex

The chirality-directed self-assembly of bifunctional subunits around a structural metal - typically, zinc(II) - is used to form a heteroleptic complex in which a second set of ligating groups are suitably disposed to bind a second metal, forming a heterobimetallic catalyst system. We find that subtle changes in the structural backbone (i.e., ligand scaffold) of such chiral bidentate self-assembled ligands (SALs) can be used to manipulate the ligand topography and chiral environment around catalytic metal; thus, the scaffold can be optimized to maximize asymmetric induction. Using this combinatorial strategy for ligand synthesis, a preliminary study was carried out in which a library of 110 SALs was evaluated in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of a simple N-acyl enamide. The level of enantioselectivity obtained varies from near racemic to greater than 80 % ee as a function of the ligand scaffold, with the possibility of further improvement yet to be explored.

A structure–effect study is presented pertaining to the HOMO–LUMO tuning of compounds built upon the 9-fluorenylidene scaffold frequently incorporated as a moiety within organic-based semiconducting materials. The results represent the first reported analysis employing an ensemble of spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and crystal structure data to elucidate and compare the electronic properties of 9-fluorenones, 9-fluorenylidenes, and 9-fluorenimine derivatives. The results also provide the first spectroscopically and crystallographically measured description of exciton coupling within 9,9′-bifluorenylidenes. The 9-ylidene bond is seen to play a key role impacting the electronic properties, and an examination of the effects of substituents, conjugation, heteroatoms, and steric strain on the 9-ylidene bond in a diverse set of structures with representative structural variations relevant to the HOMO–LUMO tuning is presented. Increasing conjugation decreased the HOMO–LUMO gap (HLG), increased the HOMO energy (EHOMO), but decreased the LUMO energy (ELUMO). Substituent effects were observed to produce only slight changes that tended to decrease the HLG and increase both EHOMO and ELUMO, while heteroatom inclusion at the 9-ylidine bond tended to decrease the HLG, EHOMO, ELUMO, and the extinction coefficient. In the sterically hindered 9,9′-bifluorenylidenes, increased steric strain that promoted either an increase in the torsion angle or bond length of the 9-ylidene bond was seen to decrease the HLG via exciton coupling. These results elucidate the HOMO–LUMO tuning of systems containing a 9-fluorenylidene moiety and may assist in developing materials with specifically tuned HLGs and HOMO–LUMO levels for a variety of applications.
