Di(imino)pyridine Complexes as Catalysts for Homogeneous Olefin Oligomerization Reactions

pp. 43-49

The synthesis of bis(arylimino)pyridine complexes of seven different transition metals and their applications after activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO) in homogeneous olefin dimerization and oligomerization reactions is described. The synthesis of bis(arylimino)pyridine ligand precursors was achieved via condensation reactions of 2,6-diacetylpyridine with different substituted anilines. The bis(arylimino)pyridine compounds were reacted with 3d transition metal halides of the metals Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni and Co to give the corresponding mono-ligated complexes. Among a series of complexes with varying metal centers, but containing the same ligand, the bis(arylimino)pyridine iron(III) complex provided the best results for the dimerization of 1-hexene after activation with MAO. Beside linear products, methyl branched olefins were detected as well. For all product compositions, a marginal higher amount of hexene dimers was observed, e.g. the insertion of 1-hexene proceeds slightly faster than the insertion of 1-pentene.

We describe the synthesis of rare coordination compounds of early transition metals with α-amino acids and α-amino acid esters, the unusual C–C dimerization ofl-proline, and the stabilization of reactive α-ammonium acylchloride cations.

The infrared spectra, in the region 1600-200 cm-1, of a series of complexes formed by transition metal halides with substituted pyridines have been recorded. The assignment of the vibrational bands of the ligands and their shifts in frequency on coordination with a metal ion are discussed. A study of the metal-nitrogen stretching frequencies of tetrahedral complexes of the type, MX2 L2, where the metal is cobalt or zinc, shows that no simple relationship exists between the magnitude of these frequencies and the nature of either the metal ion or the substituted pyridine ligand.

<div>Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as an important class of nano-porous crystalline materials with many potential applications. They are intriguing platforms for the design of porous skeletons with special functionality at the molecular level. However, despite their extraordinary properties, it is difficult to control their electronic properties, thus hindering the potential implementation in electronic devices. A new form of nanoporous material, COFs intercalated with first row transition metal is proposed to address this fundamental drawback - the lack of electronic tunability. Using first-principles calculations, we have designed 31 new COF materials <i>in-silico</i> by intercalating all of the first row transition metals (TMs) with boroxine-linked and triazine-linked COFs: COF-TM-x (where TM=Sc-Zn and x=3-5). This is a significant addition considering that only 187 experimentally COFs structures has been reported and characterized so far. We have investigated their structure and electronic properties. Specifically, we predict that COF's band gap and density of states (DOSs) can be controlled by intercalating first row transition metal atoms (TM: Sc - Zn) and fine tuned by the concentration of TMs. We also found that the $d$-subshell electron density of the TMs plays the main role in determining the electronic properties of the COFs. Thus intercalated-COFs provide a new strategy to control the electronic properties of materials within a porous network. This work opens up new avenues for the design of TM-intercalated materials with promising future applications in nanoporous electronic devices, where a high surface area coupled with fine-tuned electronic properties are desired.</div>
