Fluoride abstraction from different types of transition metal fluoride complexes [L\(_n\)MF] (M=Ti, Ni, Cu) by the Lewis acid tris(pentafluoroethyl)difluorophosphorane (C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_2\) to yield cationic transition metal complexes with the tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate counterion (FAP anion, [(C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_3\)]\(^-\)) is reported. (C\(_2\)F\(_5\))\(_3\)PF\(_2\) reacted with trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Ar\(^F\))F] (iPr2Im=1,3-diisopropylimidazolin-2-ylidene; Ar\(^F\)=C\(_6\)F\(_5\), 1 a; 4-CF\(_3\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 b; 4-C\(_6\)F\(_5\)-C\(_6\)F\(_4\), 1 c) through fluoride transfer to form the complex salts trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(solv)(Ar\(^F\))]FAP (2 a-c[solv]; solv=Et\(_2\)O, CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\), THF) depending on the reaction medium. In the presence of stronger Lewis bases such as carbenes or PPh\(_3\), solvent coordination was suppressed and the complexes trans-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(PPh\(_3\))(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (trans-2 a[PPh\(_3\)]) and cis-[Ni(iPr\(_2\)Im)\(_2\)(Dipp\(_2\)Im)(C\(_6\)F\(_5\))]FAP (cis-2 a[Dipp\(_2\)Im]) (Dipp\(_2\)Im=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) were isolated. Fluoride abstraction from [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)CuF] (3) in CH\(_2\)Cl\(_2\) or 1,2-difluorobenzene led to the isolation of [{(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu}\(_2\)]\(^2\)\(^+\)2 FAP\(^-\) (4). Subsequent reaction of 4 with PPh\(_3\) and different carbenes resulted in the complexes [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(LB)]FAP (5 a–e, LB=Lewis base). In the presence of C6Me6, fluoride transfer afforded [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu(C\(_6\)Me\(_6\))]FAP (5 f), which serves as a source of [(Dipp\(_2\)Im)Cu)]\(^+\). Fluoride abstraction of [Cp\(_2\)TiF\(_2\)] (7) resulted in the formation of dinuclear [FCp\(_2\)Ti(μ-F)TiCp\(_2\)F]FAP (8) (Cp=η\(^5\)-C\(_5\)H\(_5\)) with one terminal fluoride ligand at each titanium atom and an additional bridging fluoride ligand.
Cyclic (amino)(aryl)carbenes (cAArCs) based on the isoindoline core were successfully generated in situ by α‐elimination of 3‐alkoxyisoindolines at high temperatures or by deprotonation of isoindol‐2‐ium chlorides with sodium or copper(I) acetates at low temperatures. 3‐Alkoxy‐isoindolines 2 a,b‐OR (R=Me, Et, iPr) have been prepared in high yields by the addition of a solution of 2‐aryl‐1,1‐diphenylisoindol‐2‐ium triflate (1 a,b‐OTf; a: aryl=Dipp=2,6‐diisopropylphenyl; b: Mesityl‐, Mes=2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl) to the corresponding alcohol (ROH) with NEt3 at room temperature. Furthermore, the reaction of 2 a,b‐OMe in diethyl ether with a tenfold excess of hydrochloric acid led to the isolation of the isoindol‐2‐ium chlorides 1 a,b‐Cl in high yields. The thermally generated cAArC reacts with sulfur to form the thioamide 3 a. Without any additional trapping reagent, in situ generation of 1,1‐diphenylisoidolin‐3‐ylidenes does not lead to the isolation of these compounds, but to the reaction products of the insertion of the carbene carbon atom into an ortho C−H bond of a phenyl substituent, followed by ring‐expansion reaction; namely, anthracene derivatives 9‐N(H)aryl‐10‐Ph‐C14H8 4 a,b (a: Dipp; b: Mes). These compounds are conveniently synthesized by deprotonation of the isoindol‐2‐ium chlorides with sodium acetate in high yields. Deprotonation of 1 a‐Cl with copper(I) acetate at low temperatures afforded a mixture of 4 a and the corresponding cAArC copper(I) chloride 5 a, and allowed the isolation and structural characterization of the first example of a cAArC copper complex of general formula [(cAArC)CuCl].
