Electron Transfer Reactions

An investigation of electron attachment reactions of cluster metal carbonyls is presented. In general, alkyl and organometallic halides react rapidly with metal carbonyl cluster radical anions at ambient temperatures to give the neutral cluster molecule. Halide ion and alkyl or organometallic radicals are also produced, which indicate that these are dissociative electron attachment reactions analogous to those of organic radical anions. The rate of dissociative electron attachment in reactions of PhCCo3(CO)9- was found to depend on the R-X bond energy, the size of the alkyl group and the nature of the counter-ion. In particular, (Ph3P)2N+ retarded some electron transfer reactions to the extent that the bimolecular decay of PhCCo3(CO)9- effectively competed with the electron transfer process in determining the reaction path.

Treatment of nitrones (1a–d, 26a,b, 34, 49) with potassium in tetrahydrofuran (THF) gives rise to radical anion (2a–d, 27a,b, 35, 50) and dianion intermediates (3a–d, 28a,b, 36) through electron transfer reactions. These intermediates undergo further transformations to give a variety of products. Thus, the aldehydonitrones (1a–d) give the corresponding aldehydes (10a–c), carboxylic acids (25a–c), and azobenzenes (19a,d), whereas the ketonitrones (26a,b) give deoxygenation products (31a,b). The nitrone 34 gave a mixture of products consisting of benzoic acid (25a), dibenzyl (48), the dimeric product 38, and tetraphenylpyrazine (46), whereas 49 did not give any isolable product. Cyclic voltammetric studies have been employed to measure the reduction potentials for both one-electron and two-electron transfer processes, leading to the radical anions and dianions respectively. These intermediates have been characterized through their electronic spectra and they were quenched by oxygen. Pulse radiolysis of the nitrones 1a–d, 26a,b, 34, and 49 also gave the corresponding radical anions 2a–d, 27a,b, 35, and 50, characterized by their spectra.
