Abstract This minireview summarizes synthetic approaches towards homoleptic dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with the general formula Rh 2 A 4 . These have found numerous applications in a wide range of chemical research and industry as catalysts, detectors, enzymatic inhibitors or building blocks for molecular scaffolds. In organic synthesis they are commonly used to transfer electron‐deficient species, act Lewis acids activate unsaturated bonds, serve hydrogenation catalysts participate oxidation/reduction processes. Dirhodium composed Rh‐Rh backbone four bridging anions, which surround core. According application, electrochemical potential atom can be modulated, geometry physical properties metal complex. prepared one step from basic inorganic precursors by post‐functionalization structures.

Metal Bound or Free Ylides as Reaction Intermediates in Metal-Catalyzed [2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangements? It Depends

ACS Catalysis, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 11(2), С. 829 - 839

Опубликована: Янв. 4, 2021

Density functional theory calculations were applied to study four previously published metal-catalyzed [2,3]-rearrangements from onium ylide intermediates, in pursuit of generalizations about when, during these types reactions, catalysts dissociate. Our results corroborate past studies where free-ylide mechanisms proposed be operative. Results on case indicate that the origin metal–catalyst dissociation can attributed primarily steric bulkiness groups adjacent carbene carbon.
