Abstract

This article presented the synthesis and characterization of original heterobimetallic species combining a divalent lanthanide fragment and a divalent nickel center bridged by the bipyrimidine ligand, a redox-active ligand. X-ray crystal structures were obtained for the Ni monomer (bipym)NiMe2, 1, as well as the heterobimetallic dimer compounds, Cp*2Yb(bipym)NiMe2, 2, along with 1H solution NMR, solid-state magnetic data, and DFT calculations only for 1. The reactivity with CO was investigated on both compounds and the stoichiometric acetone formation is discussed based on kinetic and mechanistic studies. The key role of the lanthanide fragment was demonstrated by the relatively slow CO migratory insertion step, which indicated the stability of the intermediate.

Abstract

Small molecule activation is a topic of growing importance and the use of low-valent f-elements to perform these reactions is nowadays well established. The complex Cptt2Sm(thf) (1, Cptt = 1,3-(tBu)2Cp) is shown to activate the alkyne C–H bond of phenylacetylene to form the Cptt2Sm(C≡C–Ph)(thf) complex. The subsequent reaction of this Sm(III) complex with CO2 leads to the CO2 insertion, yielding a dimeric [Cptt2Sm(O2C–C≡C–Ph)]2 complex (2), in which the carbon dioxide has been inserted in the Sm–C bond. Along with the experimental chemical structure analysis, theoretical calculations have been performed in order to rationalize the formation of 1 and 2.

Abstract

International audience; The article reports the synthesis and structural characterization of a series of Ln(C9H9)(3) complexes with the cyclononatetraenyl (Cnt, C9H9) ligand (Ln = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm). The Yb and Sm complexes were not obtained, and the reaction of the potassium salt of the Cnt ligand with trivalent halide salts of the corresponding metals led to the known bis-Cnt sandwich compounds Ln(C9H9)(2). The X-ray diffraction studies on the trivalent complexes show that the Cnt ligand is significantly bent in order to accommodate the large size of the ligand while it maintains its aromaticity. When the size of the lanthanide ion decreases, the ligand does not switch away but swings over the metal ion in order to maximize the electrostatic interactions. H-1 NMR and UV-visible spectra, as well as the solid-state magnetism, were recorded. UV-visible spectroscopy highlights a remarkable charge-transfer band in the Tm complex, while ligand-based transitions are principally observed with all other metal ions. The magnetic behavior of the series agrees with trivalent lanthanide ions, and the computations at the CASSCF level confirm the trivalent electronic structure.

Abstract

Solvation of [(CNT)Ln(η$^8$-COT)] (Ln=La, Ce, Nd, Tb, Er; CNT=cyclononatetraenyl, i.e., C$_9$H$_9$−; COT=cyclooctatetraendiid, i.e., C$_8$H$_8$$^2−$) complexes with tetrahydrofuran (THF) gives rise to neutral [(η$^4$-CNT)Ln(thf)$_2$(η$^8$-COT)] (Ln=La, Ce) and ionic [Ln(thf)$_x$(η$^8$-COT)][CNT] (x=4 (Ce, Nd, Tb), 3 (Er)) species in a solid-to-solid transformation. Due to the severe distortion of the ligand sphere upon solvation, these species act as switchable luminophores and single-molecule magnets. The desolvation of the coordinated solvents can be triggered by applying a dynamic vacuum, as well as a temperature gradient stimulus. Raman spectroscopic investigations revealed fast and fully reversible solvation and desolvation processes. Moreover, we also show that a Nd:YAG laser can induce the necessary temperature gradient for a self-sufficient switching process of the Ce(III) analogue in a spatially resolved manner.

Abstract

International audience; Simple N-heteroaromatic Ni(II) precatalysts, (L)NiMe2 (L = bipy, bipym), were used for alkene isomerization. With an original reduction method using a simple borane (HB(Cat)), a low-valent Ni center was formed readily and showed good conversion when a reducing divalent lanthanide fragment, Cp*2Yb, was coordinated to the (bipym)NiMe2 complex, a performance not achieved by the monometallic (bipy)NiMe2 analogue. Experimental mechanistic investigations and computational studies revealed that the redox non-innocence of the L ligand triggered an electron shuttle process, allowing the elusive formation of Ni(I) species that were central to the isomerization process. Additionally, the reaction occurred with a preference for mono-isomerization rather than chain-walking isomerization. The presence of the low-valent ytterbium fragment, which contributed to the formation of the electron shuttle, strongly stabilized the catalysts, allowing catalytic loading as low as 0.5%. A series of alkenes with various architectures have been tested. The possibility to easily tune the various components of the heterobimetallic catalyst reported here, the ligand L and the divalent lanthanide fragment, opens perspectives for further applications in catalysis induced by Ni(I) species.

Abstract

International audience; An alternative synthesis for M(κ2-bipy)4 (M = La, Ce) and [Li(thf)4][M(κ2-bipy)4] (M = Tb, Dy) and the crystal structures for M = La, Ce, and Tb are described. The isomorphous and isostructural neutral molecules, M = La and Ce, are polymeric in the solid-state, as are those of M = Sm and Eu, which were reported in earlier work. The polymeric network is built from eight coordinate units whose geometry in all four cases is that of a square prism. The known molecules, M = Yb and Lu, are also polymeric, but the eight coordinate units have dodecahedral geometries. The structure of the anions in the separated ion pair, [Li(thf)4][M(κ2-bipy)4], in which Tb is reported in this work and Lu is known, are monomeric with geometries that are between that of a square antiprism and a dodecahdron. The electronic structure, from CASSCF multireference quantum mechanical calculations, shows that the electronic ground states for M = La and Lu are multiconfigurational spin doublets and those for the M = Ce and Yb are multiconfigurational spin triplets. This is confirmed by magnetic susceptibility studies as a function of temperature that are consistent with the metals (La, Ce, Sm, Tb, Dy, Yb, and Lu) being trivalent, as are the LIII-edge XANES spectra (Ce, Yb), and divalent for Eu. The multiconfigurational nature of the ground states, developed from CASSCF molecular orbital calculations, renders a single Lewis structure and a single reference molecular orbital representation misleading. The results from the multireference calculations are extended to the other lanthanide molecules and are the genesis of a new model for understanding the magnetic properties of these molecules.

Abstract

Sandwich complexes of lanthanides have recently attracted a considerable amount of interest due to their applications as Single Molecule Magnet (SMM). Herein, a comprehensive series of heteroleptic lanthanide sandwich complexes ligated by the cyclononatetraenyl (Cnt) and the cyclooctatetraenyl (Cot) ligand [Ln(Cot)(Cnt)] (Ln=Tb, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb, and Lu) is reported. The coordination behavior of the Cnt ligand has been investigated along the series and shows different coordination patterns in the solid‐state depending on the size of the corresponding lanthanide ion without altering its overall anisotropy. Besides the characterization in the solid state by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and in solution by 1H NMR, static magnetic studies and ab initio computational studies were performed., A series of trivalent lanthanide heteroleptic sandwich complexes with the cyclooctatetraenyl (Cot) and cyclononatetraenyl (Cnt) ligands shows a significant bending of the Cnt ligand when the size of the ion decreases, implying a size‐controlled hapticity switch.

Abstract

This work presents the synthesis and characterization of a 3d-4f bimetallic complex based on the redox-active macrocyclic biquinazoline ligand, Mabiq. The mixed Yb-Ni complex, [(Cp*)(2)Yb(Mabiq)Ni]BArF (3), was synthesized upon reaction of [Ni(II)(Mabiq)]BArF (2) with Cp*(2)Yb(II)OEt(2). The molecular structures of 3 and its sister complex, [(Cp*)(2)Yb(Mabiq)Ni][(Cp*)(2)Yb(OTf)(2)] (1), confirmed the presence of a Yb(III) center and a reduced Ni-Mabiq unit. Spectroscopy (absorption and NMR), cyclic voltammetry and magnetic susceptibility studies were employed to analyze the electronic structure of 3, which is best described by the [(Cp*)(2)Yb(III)(Mabiq(•))Ni(II)](+) formulation. Notably, the ligand centered radical is delocalized over both the diketiminate and bipyrimidine units of the Mabiq ligand. The magnetic susceptibility and variable temperature NMR studies for 3 denote coupling between the Ni-Mabiq site and the peripheral Yb center – previously unobserved in 3d-3d Mabiq complexes. The complex nature of the exchange interactions is highlighted by the multiconfigurational ground state for 3, comprising nearly degenerate singlet and triplet states.

Abstract

Over more than 50 years, intermediate valence states in lanthanide compounds have often resulted in unexpected or puzzling spectroscopic and magnetic properties. Such experimental singularities could not be rationalised until new theoretical models involving multiconfigurational electronic ground states were established. In this minireview, the different singularities that have been observed among lanthanide complexes are highlighted, the models used to rationalise them are detailed and how such electronic effects may be adjusted depending on energy and symmetry considerations is considered. Understanding and tuning the ground-state multiconfigurational behaviour in lanthanide complexes may open new doors to modular and unusual reactivities.

Abstract

Divalent lanthanide organometallics are well known highly reducing compounds usually used for single electron transfer reactivity and small molecule activation. Thus, their very reactive nature prevented for many years the study of their physical properties, such as magnetic studies on a reliable basis. In this article, the access to rare organometallic sandwich compounds of TmII with the cyclooctatetraenyl (Cot) ligand impacts on the use of divalent organolanthanide compounds as an additional strategy for the design of performing Single Molecule Magnets (SMM). Herein, the first divalent thulium sandwich complex with f13 configuration behaving as a Single Molecule Magnet in absence of DC field is highlighted.

Abstract

The divalent samarium triflate salt does not react with CO2 or water, but does react with traces of O2 or N2O to form a tetrameric bis-oxo samarium motif. The reaction with O2 is a 4e− reductive cleavage where the electrons are coming from four different samarium centers. This highlights a rare synergistic effect for cleaving O2, which has no precedent in divalent lanthanide complexes. Additionally, the addition of CO2 to the tetrameric bis-oxo intermediate leads to the formation of a tetrameric bis-carbonate samarium triflate. Thus, the concomitant reaction of CO2 with traces of O2 leads to the same bis-carbonate tetrameric assembly.

Abstract

The base-free divalent samarium complex Cptt2Sm (1; Cptt = 1,3-(tBu)2(C5H3)) has been synthesized in diethyl ether by salt metathesis of SmI2. Crystals of 1 suitable for X-ray study have been obtained by sublimation at 116 °C under reduced pressure. The dissolution of 1 in thf and pyridine solution leads to the solvent adducts Cptt2Sm(thf)2 (3) and Cptt2Sm(py) (4), respectively, while drying 3 under reduced pressure yields CpttSm(thf) (5). The reaction of CO2 with the base-free divalent samarium complexes Cptt2Sm (1) and Cpttt2Sm (2; Cpttt =1,2,4-(tBu)3(C5H2)) leads to the clean formation of bridged carbonate samarium dimers [Cpttt2Sm]2(μ-CO3) (7) and [Cptt2Sm]2(μ-CO3) (8). This is indicative of the reductive disproportionation of CO2 in both cases with release of CO. This contrasts with the formation of the oxalate-bridged samarium dimer reported from the reaction of CO2 with the Cp*2Sm(thf)2 complex. Otherwise, the reaction with CO does not proceed with the bulky complexes, while traces of O2 have led t...

Abstract

International audience; The reaction of a reactive nickel dimethyl 1 bearing a redox-active, dissymmetric ligand, which is obtained by deprotonation of 2-pyrimidin-2-yl-1H-benzimidazole (Hbimpm) with a divalent lanthanide complex, Cp* 2 Yb(OEt 2), affords an unprecedented, trimeric 2 with C(sp 3)-C(sp 3) bond formation between two ligands in an exo position. Meanwhile, the transient, dimeric species 3 can be isolated with the same ligand coupling fashion, however, with a drastic distorsion angle of the bimpm ligand and reactive NiMe 2 fragment, revealing the possible mechanism of this rearrangement. A much more stable dimeric congener, 5, with an exo ligand coupling, is synthesized in the presence of 18-crown-6, which captures the potassium counter ion. The CC coupling formation between two bimpm ligands results from the effective electron transfer from divalent lanthanide fragments. Without the divalent lanthanide, the reductive coupling occurs on a different carbon of the ligand, nicely showing the modulation of the spin density induced by the presence of the lanthanide ion. The electronic structures of these complexes are investigated by magnetic study (SQUID), indicating a 2 F 7/2 ground state for each ytterbium in all the heterometallics. This work firstly reports ligand coupling reactivity in a redox-active, yet dissymmetric system with divalent organolanthanides, and the reactive nickel moiety can impact the intriguing transition towards a stable homoleptic, trinulear lanthanide species.

The transformation was investigated by 1 H NMR, X-ray studies and theoretical calculations providing reaction intermediates and the reaction mechanism.

Abstract

International audience; A series of six hybrid polymers based on the mixed-valent {ε-PMoV8MoVI4O40Zn4} (εZn) Keggin unit have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions using tritopic (1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate (trim) or 1,3,5-benzenetribenzoate (BTB)) or ditopic (4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate (biphen)) linkers and [M(bpy)3]2+ (M = Co, Ru) complexes as charge-compensating cations. (TBA)2[Co(C10H8N2)3][PMo12O37(OH)3Zn4](C27H15O6)4/3·1.5C27H18O6·24H2O (Co-ε(BTB)4/3) has a three-dimensional (3D) framework with two interpenetrated networks and is isostructural to (TBA)4[PMo12O37(OH)3Zn4](C27H15O6)4/3·1.5C27H18O6·8H2O (ε(BTB)4/3). In Co-ε(BTB)4/3, two tetrabutylammonium (TBA+) cations over the four present in ε(BTB)4/3 are replaced by one [Co(bpy)3]2+ complex. [Co(C10H8N2)3][PMo12O37(OH)3Zn4](C9H3O6)Co(C10H8N2)4(H2O)·16H2O (Co-ε(trim) (bpy)2) is a 1D coordination polymer with two types of CoII-containing complexes, one covalently attached to the 1D chains and the other located in the voids as the counterion. [Ru(C10H8N2)3]4[PMo12O38(OH)2Zn4]2(C9H3O6)2·42H2O (Ru-ε2(trim)2) and [Ru(C10H8N2)3]3[PMo12O37(OH)3Zn4Cl]2(C14H8O4)2·24H2O (Ru-ε2(biphen)2) contain dimeric (εZn)2 units linked by dicarboxylate linkers, and both have [Ru(bpy)3]2+ countercations. Ru-ε2(trim)2 has a 3D framework, while Ru-ε2(biphen)2 is only 2D because of the presence of chloride ions on one-fourth of the ZnII ions. [P(C6H5)4]6[PMo12O37(OH)3Zn4]2(C9H3O6)2·18H2O (PPh4-ε2(trim)2) is isostructural to Ru-ε2(trim)2. These insoluble compounds entrapped in carbon-paste electrodes exhibit electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction. The effects of their structure and the nature of the counterions on the activity have been studied. For the first time, different POM-based coordination polymers are compared for catalytic H2 production using controlled-potential electrolysis. This study shows that the nature of the countercation has a strong effect on the electrocatalytic activity of the compound.

Abstract

International audience; The tailoring of the coordination chemistry around f-element centers is a crucial step for the development of compounds with slow magnetic relaxation, including single-molecule magnets (SMMs), which have great potential in molecular spintronics and for future quantum computing devices. Lanthanide ions are particularly interesting because the predominant electrostatic model of their bonding allows rationalizing their coordination symmetry. However, to the best of our knowledge, the redox properties of the lanthanides are not taken into account for the design of SMMs, and therefore all SMMs reported to date contain lanthanide ions in their trivalent oxidation state. In this Article, divalent lanthanide compounds presenting field-induced slow magnetic relaxation are reported. The rational design and synthesis of two TmII complexes with the 18-crown-6 ligand are presented along with their emission and EPR properties, which help to probe the desired nature of the ground state, that is, maximizing the anisotropy. The observed magnetic properties demonstrate their slow magnetic relaxation behavior in a moderate external magnetic field.

Abstract

International audience; This article relates the synthesis and characterization of novel heterobimetallic complexes containing a low-valent lanthanide, a tetradentate redox non-innocent ligand, viz. the 4,5,9,10-tetraazaphenanthrene, taphen ligand and transition metal fragments of PdMe 2 and PtMe 2. The experimental results are supported by a theoretical study. Investigation of their reduction properties allowed the formation of isostructural original heterotrimetallic complexes containing two Cp* 2 Yb fragments and the (taphen)MMe 2 (M = Pd and Pt) motifs. These complexes are stable in non-coordinating solvent such as toluene but decompose in coordinating solvents such as thf. Investigation of the internal electron transfer shows that the taphen ligand behaves as a two-electrons reservoir but is capable of transferring back only one electron in thf. This reversible electron(s) transfer is rare in organolanthanide chemistry and show the potential interest of these complexes in reductive chemistry. Additionally, the trinuclear complexes feature odd X-ray crystal structures in which a deviation of symmetry is observed. The latter observation was studied in depth using quantum chemistry calculations highlighting the role of non-covalent weak interactions.

Abstract

The Article presents the synthesis, structure, and bonding of a series of neutral and linear sandwich compounds with the cyclononatetraenyl (Cnt) ligand and divalent lanthanides. These compounds account for the emergence of the lanthanidocene series in reference to the ferrocene and uranocene. The synthetic strategy uses the solubility difference between two conformational isomers of the ligand, as well as the isomerization of the compounds induced by solvent coordination, yielding the isomorphous and isostructural neutral and rigorously linear sandwich complexes. The molecular structures feature a Cnt–Ln–Cnt angle of 180° and a ring size close to the Cnt–Cnt(centroid) distance. A qualitative molecular orbital diagram is provided, in D9d symmetry, and DFT calculations enforce the bonding model.

Abstract

Small molecule activation is a topic of growing importance and the use of low-valent f-elements to perform these reactions is nowadays well established. The complex Cptt2Sm(thf) (1, Cptt = 1,3-(tBu)2Cp) is shown to activate the alkyne C&ndash, H bond of phenylacetylene to form the Cptt2Sm(C&equiv, C&ndash, Ph)(thf) complex. The subsequent reaction of this Sm(III) complex with CO2 leads to the CO2 insertion, yielding a dimeric [Cptt2Sm(O2C&ndash, C&equiv, Ph)]2 complex (2), in which the carbon dioxide has been inserted in the Sm-C bond. Along with the experimental chemical structure analysis, theoretical calculations have been performed in order to rationalize the formation of 1 and 2.

Abstract

The coordination and reactivity of simple iodide salts of low-valent f elements [YbI2, SmI2, TmI2, and UI3(THF)4, where THF = tetrahydrofuran] with iminophosphorane (R3P═NR′) ligands are reported. The studied chelates were observed to adapt their geometry and effectively bind divalent ytterbium and samarium centers, as well as the trivalent uranium cation. The reactivity of the ytterbium adducts with benzophenone was found to be dependent on the steric demand of the supporting iminophosphorane ligand. In particular, a rare example of a stable charge-separated ketyl radical species is reported with ytterbium. Additionally, divalent thulium was observed to induce a reductive coupling at the ligand’s central pyridine ring.

33. Small molecule activation with divalent samarium triflate: a synergistic effort to cleave O

Author

Mathieu, Xémard, Marie, Cordier, Elisa, Louyriac, Laurent, Maron, Carine, Clavaguéra, and Grégory, Nocton

Abstract

The divalent samarium triflate salt does not react with CO2 or water, but does react with traces of O2 or N2O to form a tetrameric bis-oxo samarium motif. The reaction with O2 is a 4e- reductive cleavage where the electrons are coming from four different samarium centers. This highlights a rare synergistic effect for cleaving O2, which has no precedent in divalent lanthanide complexes. Additionally, the addition of CO2 to the tetrameric bis-oxo intermediate leads to the formation of a tetrameric bis-carbonate samarium triflate. Thus, the concomitant reaction of CO2 with traces of O2 leads to the same bis-carbonate tetrameric assembly.

Abstract

A new synthesis of cerium tetrakis(tropolonate), Ce(trop)4, where trop is deprotonated 2-hydroxy-2,4,6-cycloheptatrienone) or Ce(O2C7H5)4, is developed that results in dark-purple crystals whose X-ray crystal structure shows that the geometry of the eight-coordinate compound closely resembles a D2 d dodecahedron, based on shape parameters. The magnetic susceptibility as a function of the temperature (4-300 K) shows that it is a temperature-independent paramagnet, χ = 1.2(3) × 10-4 emu/mol, and the LIII-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectrum shows that the molecule is multiconfigurational, comprised of a f1:f0 configuration mixture in a 50:50 ratio. Ce(acac)4 and Ce(tmtaa)2 (where acac is acetylacetonate and tmtaaH2 is tetramethyldibenzotetraaza[14]annulene) have similar physical properties, as does the solid-state compound CeO2. The concept is advanced that trop-, acac-, tmtaa2-, cot2-, and O2- are redox-active ligands that function as electron donors, rendering the classification of these compounds according to their oxidation numbers misleading because their magnetic susceptibilities, χ, are positive and their effective magnetic moments, μeff, lie in the range of 0.1-0.7 μB at 300 K.

This paper reports the synthesis of a series of complexes based on the bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)ytterbium(II) (1; Cp*2Yb) and bis(tetramethylphospholyl)ytterbium(II) (2; Tmp2Yb) fragments bearing an additional neutral bis(methyliminophosphoranyl)pyridine ligand (L) on which the steric demand is modulated at the phosphorus position (triethyl, LEt; triphenyl, LPh; tricyclohexyl, LCy) to yield the original complexes Cp*2YbLEt (1-LEt), Cp*2YbLPh (1-LPh), Tmp2YbLEt (2-LEt), Tmp2YbLPh (2-LPh), and Tmp2YbLCy (2-LCy), while no reaction occurs between 1 and LCy. The crystal structures of these sterically crowded complexes are reported as well as room-temperature NMR data for all the complexes. The solid-state coordination mode of LR differs depending on the nature of the fragments 1 and 2 and on the steric bulk of LR.

Abstract

Reaction of the neutral diniobium benzene complex {[Nb(BDI)N t Bu]2(μ-C6H6)} (BDI = N,N'-diisopropylbenzene-β-diketiminate) with Ag[B(C6F5)4] results in a single electron oxidation to produce a cationic diniobium arene complex, {[Nb(BDI)N t Bu]2(μ-C6H6)}{B(C6F5)4}. Investigation of the solid state and solution phase structure using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic susceptibility, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy indicates that the oxidation results in an asymmetric molecule with two chemically inequivalent Nb atoms. Further characterization using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, UV-visible, Nb L3,2-edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and EPR spectroscopies supports assignment of a diniobium complex, in which one Nb atom carries a single unpaired electron that is not largely delocalized on the second Nb atom. During the oxidative transformation, one electron is removed from the δ-bonding HOMO, which causes a destabilization of the molecule and formation of an asymmetric product. Subsequent reactivity studies indicate that the oxidized product allows access to metal-based chemistry with substrates that did not exhibit reactivity with the starting neutral complex.

Abstract

International audience; The equilibrium between the radical phenanthroline complex Cp*2 Sm(phen) and the coupling product (Cp*2 Sm(phen))2 has been investigated based on quantum chemistry calculations. Topological analyses pointed out that the C-C bond created has a partial covalent character, explaining why both the monomeric and the dimeric forms exist in equilibrium. A large variety of density functionals have been tested to reproduce experimental thermodynamic data for this equilibrium. Finally, the PBE0-D3 and M06-2X functionals lead to a good evaluation of the energies and enable a correct description of the ligand to metal charge transfer, both in the 4f and 5d metal orbitals.

Abstract

International audience; The unique combination of a divalent organolanthanide fragment, Cp*2Yb, with bipyrimidine (bipym) and a palladium bis-alkyl fragment, PdMe2, allows the rapid formation and stabilization of a PdIV tris-alkyl moiety after oxidative addition with MeI. The crucial role of the organolanthanide fragment is demonstrated by the substitution of bipym by the 4,5,9,10-tetraazaphenanthrene ligand, which drastically modifies the electronic structure and tunes the stability of the PdIV species.

International audience; Non‐innocent ligands render the determination of the electronic structure in metal complexes difficult. As such, a combination of experimental techniques and quantum chemistry are required to correctly elucidate them. This paper deals with the one‐electron oxidation of copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes featuring a phosphasalen ligand (Psalen), which differs from salen analogues by the presence of iminophosphorane groups (P=N) instead of imines. Various experimental techniques (X‐ray diffraction, cyclic voltammetry, NMR, EPR, and UV/Vis spectroscopies, and magnetic measurements) as well as quantum chemical calculations were used to define the electronic structure of the oxidized complexes. These can be modified by a small change in the ligand structure, that is, the replacement of a tert‐butyl group by a methoxy on the phenoxide ring. The different techniques have allowed quantifying the amount of spin density located on the metal center and on the Psalen ligands. All complexes were found to possess a multi‐configurational ground state, in which the ratio of the +II versus +III oxidation state of the metal center, and therefore the phenolate versus phenoxyl radical ligand character, varies upon the substituents. The tert‐butyl group favors a strong localization on the metal center whereas with the methoxy group the metallic configurations decrease and the ligand configurations increase. The importance of the geometrical considerations compared with the electronic substituent effect is highlighted by the differences observed between the solid‐state (EPR, magnetic measurements) and solution characterizations (EPR and NMR data).

Abstract

The oxidation of a Ni(II) complex bearing a tetradentate phosphasalen ligand, which differs from salen by the presence of an iminophosphorane (PN) in place of an imine unit, was easily achieved by addition of a silver salt. The site of this oxidation was investigated with a combination of techniques (NMR, EPR, UV/Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetic measurements) as well as DFT calculations. All data are in agreement with a high-valent Ni(III) center concentrating the spin density. This markedly differs from precedents in the salen series for which oxidation on the metal was only observed at low temperature or in the presence of additional ligands or anions. Therefore, thanks to the good electron-donating properties of the phosphasalen ligand, [Ni(Psalen)](+) represents a rare example of a tetracoordinated high-valent nickel complex in presence of a phenoxide ligand.

Abstract

International audience; The synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of Cp*2Yb(3,3′-Me2bipy) and [Cp*2Yb(3,3′-Me2bipy)][Cp*2YbCl1.6I0.4]*CH2Cl2 are described. In both complexes, the NCCN torsion angles are approximately 40°. The temperature-independent value of nf of 0.17 shows that the valence of ytterbium in the neutral adduct is multiconfigurational, in reasonable agreement with a CASSCF calculation that yields a nf value of 0.27; that is, the two configurations in the wave function are f13(π*1)1 and f14(π*1)0 in a ratio of 0.27:0.73, respectively, and the open-shell singlet lies 0.28 eV below the triplet state (nf accounts for f-hole occupancy; that is, nf = 1 when the configuration is f13 and nf = 0 when the configuration is f14). A correlation is outlined between the value of nf and the individual ytterbocene and bipyridine fragments such that, as the reduction potentials of the ytterbocene cation and the free x,x′-R2-bipy ligands approach each other, the value of nf and therefore the f13:f14 ratio reaches a maximum; conversely, the ratio is minimized as the disparity increases.

Abstract

International audience; The new 1,1′-diphosphaplumbocenes Pb(Dtp)2(Dtp = 2,5-di-tert-butyl-3,4-dimethylphospholyl) and Pb(Dsp)2(Dsp = 2,5-ditrimethylsilyl-3,4-dimethylphospholyl) have beensynthesized and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.207Pb NMR spectra of both complexes, as well as for theknown complex Pb(Htp)2 (Htp = 2,5-di-tert-butylphospholyl),show that the phospholyl ligands lead to an important downfieldshift compared with that of cyclopentadienyl based plumbocenes.X-ray diffraction studies of the Pb(Dtp)2 complex revealed astructure with two slightly bent η5-bound ligands. This complexwas employed in the oxidative ligand transfer reaction with bulkydivalent thulium complexes. In the case of Tm(Dtp)2, the firstexample of a monomeric trivalent tris(phospholyl)lanthanidecomplex Tm(Dtp)3 was obtained. X-ray diffraction studies andlow-temperature 1H NMR studies show the η1 coordination mode of the third Dtp ligand. In contrast, oxidation of Tm(Cpttt)2(Cpttt is for tris-tert-butylcyclopentadienyl) led presumably to the formation of the ion pair complex [Tm(Cpttt)2][Dtp], in whichno interaction between the free Dtp ligand and Tm was observed, as shown by variable temperature 1H and 31P NMR studies.The new trivalent complexes could be reduced back to the original divalent complexes with potassium graphite.

Abstract

International audience; The preparation and characterization of a series of complexes of the Yb and Eu cations in the oxidation state II and III with the tetradentate N,O-donor tripodal ligands (tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA), BPA(-) (HBPA=bis(2-pyridylmethyl)(2-hydroxybenzyl)amine), BPPA(-) (HBPPA=bis(2-pyridylmethyl)(3.5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)amine), and MPA(2-) (H(2)MPA=(2-pyridylmethyl)bis(3.5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzyl)amine) is reported. The X-ray crystal structures of the heteroleptic Ln(2+) complexes [Ln(TPA)I-2] (Ln=Eu, Yb) and [Yb(BPA)I(CH3CN)](2), of the Ln(2+) homoleptic [Ln(TPA)(2)]I-2 (Ln=Sm, Eu, Yb) and [Eu(BPA)(2)] complexes, and of the Ln(3+) [Eu(BPPA)(2)]OTf and [Yb(MPA)(2)K(dme)(2)] (dme=dimethoxyethane) complexes have been determined. Cyclic voltammetry studies carried out on the bis-ligand complexes of Eu3+ and Yb3+ show that the metal center reduction occurs at significantly lower potentials for the BPA(-) ligand as compared with the TPA ligand. This suggests that the more electron-rich character of the BPA(-) ligand results in a higher reducing character of the lanthanide complexes of BPA(-) compared with those of TPA. The important differences in the stability and reactivity of the investigated complexes are probably due to the observed difference in redox potential. Preliminary reactivity studies show that whereas the bis-TPA complexes of Eu2+ and Yb2+ do not show any reactivity with heteroallenes, the [Eu(BPA)(2)] complex reduces CS2 to afford the first example of a lanthanide trithiocarbonate complex.

Abstract

International audience; An original copper(I) iodide cluster of novel geometry obtained by using a diphosphine ligand is reported and is formulated [Cu6I6(PPh2(CH2)3PPh2)3] (1). Interestingly, this sort of “eared cubane” cluster based on the [Cu6I6] inorganic core can be viewed as a combination of the two known [Cu4I4] units, namely, the cubane and the open-chair isomeric geometries. The synthesis, structural and photophysical characterisations, as well as theoretical study of this copper iodide along with the derived cubane (3) and open-chair (2) [Cu4I4(PPh3)4] forms, were investigated. A new polymorph of the cubane [Cu4I4(PPh3)4] cluster is indeed presented (3). The structural differences of the clusters were analyzed by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Luminescence properties of the three clusters were studied in detail as a function of the temperature showing reversible luminescence thermochromism for 1 with an intense orange emission at room temperature. This behavior presents different feature compared to the cubane cluster and completely contrasts with the open isomer, which is almost nonemissive at room temperature. Indeed, the thermochromism of 1 differs by a concomitant increase of the two emission bands by lowering the temperature, in contrast to an equilibrium phenomenon for 3. The luminescence properties of 2 are very different by exhibiting only one single band when cooled. To rationalize the different optical properties observed, density functional theory calculations were performed for the three clusters giving straightforward explanation for the different luminescence thermochromism observed, which is attributed to different contributions of the ligands to the molecular orbitals. Comparison of 3 with its [Cu4I4(PPh3)4] cubane polymorphs highlights the sensibility of the emission properties to the cuprophilic interactions.

Abstract

International audience; Luminescent mechanochromic materials are particularly appealing for the development of stimuli-responsive materials. Establishing the mechanism responsible for the mechanochromism is always an issue owing to the difficulty in characterizing the ground phase. Herein, the study of real crystalline polymorphs of a mechanochromic and thermochromic luminescent copper iodide cluster permits us to clearly establish the mechanism involved. The local disruption of the crystal packing induces changes in the cluster geometry and in particular the modification of the cuprophilic interactions, which consequently modify the emissive states. This study constitutes a step further toward the understanding of the mechanism involved in the mechanochromic luminescent properties of multimetallic coordination complexes.

Abstract

International audience; he adducts formed between the 4,7-Me2-, 3,4,7,8-Me4-, and 3,4,5,6,7,8-Me6-phenanthroline ligands and Cp*2Yb are shown to have open-shell singlet ground states by magnetic susceptibility and LIII-edge XANES spectroscopy. Variable-temperature XANES data show that two singlet states are occupied in each adduct that are fit to a Boltzmann distribution for which ΔH = 5.75 kJ mol–1 for the 4,7-Me2phen adduct. The results of a CASSCF calculation for the 4,7-Me2phen adduct indicates that three open-shell singlet states, SS1–SS3, lie 0.44, 0.06. and 0.02 eV, respectively, below the triplet state. These results are in dramatic contrast to those acquired for the phenanthroline and 5,6-Me2phen adducts, which are ground state triplets ( J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2014, 136, 8626). A model that accounts for these differences is traced to the relative energies of the LUMO and LUMO+1 orbitals that depend on the position the methyl group occupies in the phenanthroline ligand. The model also accounts for the difference in reactivities of Cp*2Yb(3,8-Me2phen) and Cp*2Yb(4,7-Me2phen); the former forms a σ C–C bond between C(4)C(4′), and the latter undergoes C–H bond cleavage at the methyl group on C(4) and leads to two products that cocrystallize: Cp*2Yb(4-(CH2),7-Mephen), which has lost a hydrogen atom, and Cp*2Yb(4,7-Me2-4H-phen), which has gained a hydrogen atom.
