A highly phosphorescent non-palindromic (C^C^N) palladium complex may be prepared by means of a double oxidative addition – comproportionation sequence, which is a new approach for the synthesis of non-palindromic pincer complexes.

A novel NCN type palladium pincer complex based on the porphyrin backbone was synthesized. The palladium atom bound to the meso-carbon of the porphyrin core was effectively supported by two imidazolyl groups. The product was characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure of the porphyrinic macrocycle was revealed to be highly distorted by the coordination of the outer palladium center. The degree of deformation was found to be even larger than the analogous palladium pincer complexes in which pyridine groups were employed as the supporting ligands. The complex exhibited high catalytic activity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of iodobenzene with butyl acrylate with 0.005% of the catalyst loading.

We systematically investigated iodine–metal and iodine–iodine bonding in van Koten’s pincer complex and 19 modifications changing substituents and/or the transition metal with a PBE0–D3(BJ)/aug–cc–pVTZ/PP(M,I) model chemistry. As a novel tool for the quantitative assessment of the iodine–metal and iodine–iodine bond strength in these complexes we used the local mode analysis, originally introduced by Konkoli and Cremer, complemented with NBO and Bader’s QTAIM analyses. Our study reveals the major electronic effects in the catalytic activity of the M–I–I non-classical three-center bond of the pincer complex, which is involved in the oxidative addition of molecular iodine I2 to the metal center. According to our investigations the charge transfer from the metal to the σ* antibonding orbital of the I–I bond changes the 3c–4e character of the M–I–I three-center bond, which leads to weakening of the iodine I–I bond and strengthening of the metal–iodine M–I bond, facilitating in this way the oxidative addition of I2 to the metal. The charge transfer can be systematically modified by substitution at different places of the pincer complex and by different transition metals, changing the strength of both the M–I and the I2 bonds. We also modeled for the original pincer complex how solvents with different polarity influence the 3c–4e character of the M–I–I bond. Our results provide new guidelines for the design of pincer complexes with specific iodine–metal bond strengths and introduce the local vibrational mode analysis as an efficient tool to assess the bond strength in complexes.

The reaction of 1,3,5-(iPr2PO)3C6H3 with Co2(CO)8 leads to the isolation of a POCOP-type mononuclear pincer complex {κP,κC,κP-2,4,6-(iPr2PO)3C6H2}Co(CO)2 (1) or a tetranuclear species {κP-{κP,κC,κP-2,4,6-(iPr2PO)3C6H2}Co(CO)2}2Co2(CO)6 (2), depending on the ligand to cobalt ratio employed. The latter compound can be an impurity during the synthesis of {2,6-(iPr2PO)2-4-Me2N-C6H2}Co(CO)2, when the ligand precursor 5-(dimethylamino)resorcinol is contaminated with phloroglucinol due to incomplete monoamination. Similarly, the reaction of 1,3,5-(iPr2PO)3C6H3 with NiCl2 in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine provides {κP,κC,κP-2,4,6-(iPr2PO)3C6H2}NiCl (3) bearing an appended phosphinite group. Structures 1–3 have been studied by X-ray crystallography.
