Reaction between N,N′-bis(aryl)amidines and di-n-butylmagnesium affords magnesium amidinates, where the steric bulk of the ligand influences both the solid state and solution behaviour of these complexes.

Heteroleptic β-diketiminate/amidinate magnesium complexes {(BDI)Mg[MeC(NCy)2]} and {(BDI)Mg[BnC(NCy)2]} (Bn = CH2C6H5; BDI = {[N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)C(Me)]2CH}) were synthesised by treatment of [(BDI)MgR(THF)] (R = Me, Bn) with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Rare terminal magnesium phosphanide complexes [(BDI)Mg(PR′2)(THF)] (R′ = Cy, Ph) were synthesised through prolonged exposure of [(BDI)MgMe(THF)] with di-substituted phosphines. Spectroscopic and structural details of these complexes will be discussed.

<b>Abstract:</b> The production of olefins via on-purpose dehydrogenation of alkanes allows for a more efficient, selective and lower cost alternative to processes such as steam cracking. Silica-supported pincer-iridium complexes of the form [(≡SiO-<sup>R4</sup>POCOP)Ir(CO)] (<sup>R4</sup>POCOP = κ<sup>3</sup>-C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>-2,6-(OPR<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>) are effective for acceptorless alkane dehydrogenation, and have been shown stable up to 300 °C. However, while solution-phase analogues of such species have demonstrated high regioselectivity for terminal olefin production under transfer dehydrogenation conditions at or below 240 °C, in open systems at 300 °C, regioselectivity under acceptorless dehydrogenation conditions is consistently low. In this work, complexes <a>[(≡SiO-<i><sup>t</sup></i><sup>Bu4</sup>POCOP)Ir(CO)] </a>(<b>1</b>) and [(≡SiO-<i><sup>i</sup></i><sup>Pr4</sup>PCP)Ir(CO)] (<b>2</b>) were synthesized via immobilization of molecular precursors. These complexes were used for gas-phase butane transfer dehydrogenation using increasingly sterically demanding olefins, resulting in observed selectivities of up to 77%. The results indicate that the active site is conserved upon immobilization.

Phosphines are widely used ligands in transition metal-catalyzed reactions. Arylphosphines, such as triphenylphosphine, were among the first phosphines to show broad utility in catalysis. Beginning in the late 1990s, sterically demanding and electronrich trialkylphosphines began to receive attention as supporting ligands. These ligands were found to be particularly effective at promoting oxidative addition in cross-coupling of aryl halides. With electron-rich, sterically demanding ligands, such as tri-tertbutylphosphine, coupling of aryl bromides could be achieved at room temperature. More importantly, the less reactive, but more broadly available, aryl chlorides became accessible substrates. Tri-tert-butylphosphine has become a privileged ligand that has found application in a wide range of late transition-metal catalyzed coupling reactions. This success has led to the use of numerous monodentate trialkylphosphines in cross-coupling reactions. This review will discuss the general properties and features of monodentate trialkylphosphines and their application in cross-coupling reactions of C–X and C–H bonds.
