Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Synthese, Charakterisierung und Eigeschaften neuer Monopentafluorethylborat-Anionen der Form [C2F5BH2X]- (X= F, Cl, Br), [C2F5BH2(CN)]-, [C2F5BH(CN)2]-, [C2F5BH(CN)X]- (X= F, Cl, Br) und [C2F5B(CN)X2]- (X= Cl, Br)sowie den Bis-pentafluorethylborat-Anionen [(C2F5)2B(OMe)(CN)]-, [(C2F5)2BF(CN)]- und [(C2F5)2B(CN)2]-.
Von einigen dieser Verbindungen wurden Ionische Flüssigkeiten basierend auf dem 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium-Kation synthetisiert und deren physikalischen Parameter ausführlich untersucht. Zudem wurden Pentafluorethylboran-Addukte mit verschiedenen Lewis-Basen der Form C2F5BH2-L (L= THF, SMe2, CH3CN, Pyridin, PPh3, CAAC, IDipp, SIDipp, Me4Im, (iPr)2Me2Im, tBu2Im) hergestellt welche zum Teil als Startmaterialien für die Synthese von Monopentafluorethylboraten verwendet wurden.
The first part of the present work provides an insight into the chemistry of iridium complexes bearing the bis(phosphinite) pincer ligand tBuPOCOP (k3-C6H3-1,3-(OPtBu2)2) towards primary boranes and phosphines as well as phosphine-borane Lewis adducts. It furthermore encloses some more detailed studies on their application as catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of the latter compounds. The results presented herein can be divided into three sections:
I. synthesis and characterization of aryl dihydroborate ligated iridium(III) complexes
II. and aryl phosphine coordinated iridium(I) and dihydrido iridium(III) complexes,
III. as well as studies on the reactivity of the parent iridium pincer complexes towards BH3 adducts of primary phosphines, which led to first results in the homogeneous catalytic dehydrocoupling of P-aryl substituted phosphine boranes mediated by such iridium pincer complexes.
The second part of the present work provides an insight into the chemistry of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene-stabilized nickel complexes as well as it encloses some more detailed studies on the properties and reactivity of the free carbenes itself. The results presented herein can be divided into four sections:
I. synthesis and characterization of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene-stabilized nickel carbonyl complexes,
II. which allow the evaluation and quantification of the steric and electronic properties of these cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes,
III. first studies on the reactivity of these novel nickel complexes, and
IV. investigations on C–F and C–H bond activation at the carbene center of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes.
Die vorliegende Arbeit ist in zwei Teile gegliedert und befasst sich im ersten Abschnitt mit der stöchiometrischen und katalytischen Aktivierung von Element-Element-Bindungen an NHC-stabilisierten Eisen(II)-Komplexen. Im Fokus der Untersuchungen steht hierbei sowohl die Isolierung und Charakterisierung neuartiger NHC-stabilisierter Eisen-Komplexe sowie deren Nutzung als Katalysatoren in der Hydrosilylierung von Carbonylverbindungen und der Hydrophosphanierung von Mehrfachbindungssystemen. Der zweite Teil dieser Arbeit ist der Reaktivität N-heterocyclischer Carbene gegenüber Hauptgruppenelement-Verbindungen wie beispielsweise Chlorsilanen, Stannanen, Phosphanen und Alanen gewidmet. Neben der Aufklärung mechanistischer Details der Reaktionen ist die übergangsmetallfreie Hydrodefluorierung von Fluoraromaten zentraler Bestandteil dieser Untersuchungen.
Fluorinated compounds are an important motif, particularly in pharmaceuticals, as one-third of the top performing drugs have fluorine in their structures. Fluorinated biaryls also have numerous applications in areas such as material science, agriculture, crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry, etc. Thus, the development of new synthetic routes to fluorinated chemical compounds is an important area of current research. One promising method is the borylation of suitable precursors to generate fluorinated aryl boronates as versatile building blocks for organic synthesis.
Chapter 1
In this chapter, the latest developments in the synthesis, stability issues, and applications of fluorinated aryl boronates in organic synthesis are reviewed. The catalytic synthesis of fluorinated aryl boronates using different methods, such as C–H, C–F, and C–X (X = Cl, Br, I, OTf) borylations are discussed. Further studies covering instability issues of the fluorinated boronate derivatives, which are accelerated by ortho-fluorine, have been reported, and the applications of these substrates, therefore, need special treatment.
Numerous groups have reported methods to employ highly fluorinated aryl boronates that anticipate the protodeboronation issue; thus, polyfluorinated aryl boronates, especially those containing ortho-fluorine substituents, can be converted into chloride, bromide, iodide, phenol, carboxylic acid, nitro, cyano, methyl esters, and aldehyde analogues. These substrates can be applied in many cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction with aryl halides, the Chan-Evans-Lam C–N reaction with aryl amines or nitrosoarenes, C–C(O) reactions with N-(aryl-carbonyloxy)phthalamides or thiol esters (Liebskind-Srogl cross-coupling), and oxidative coupling reactions with terminal alkynes. Furthermore, the difficult reductive elimination from the highly stable complex [PdL2(2,6-C6F2+nH3-n)2] was the next challenge to be targeted in the homocoupling of 2,6-di-fluoro aryl pinacol boronates, and it has been solved by conducting the reaction in arene solvents that reduce the energy barrier in this step as long as no coordinating solvent or ancillary ligand is employed.
Chapter 2
In this chapter, phenanthroline-ligated copper complexes proved to be efficient catalysts for the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of highly fluorinated aryl boronate esters (ArF–Bpin) with aryl iodides or bromides. This newly developed method is an attractive alternative to the traditional methods as copper is an Earth-abundant metal, less toxic, and cheaper compared to the traditional methods which commonly required palladium catalysts, and silver oxide that is also often required in stoichiometric amounts. A combination of 10 mol% copper iodide and 10 mol% phenanthroline, with CsF as a base, in DMF, at 130 ˚C, for 18 hours is efficient to cross-couple fluorinated aryl pinacol boronates with aryl iodides to generate cross-coupled products in good to excellent yields. This method is also viable for polyfluorophenyl borate salts such as pentafluorophenyl-BF3K. Notably, employing aryl bromides instead of aryl iodides for the coupling with fluorinated aryl–Bpin compounds is also possible; however, increased amounts of CuI/phenanthroline catalyst is necessary, in a mixture of DMF and toluene (1:1).
A diverse range of π···π stacking interactions is observed in the cross-coupling products partly perfluorinated biaryl crystals. They range from arene–perfluoroarene interactions (2-(perfluorophenyl)naphthalene and 2,3,4-trifluorobiphenyl) to arene–arene (9-perfluorophenyl)anthracene) and perfluoroarene–perfluoroarene (2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro-2’methylbiphenyl) interactions.
Chapter 3
In this chapter, the efficient Pd-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of aryl pinacol pinacol boronates (ArF–Bpin) that contain two ortho-fluorines is presented. The reaction must be conducted in a “noncoordinating” solvent such as toluene, benzene, or m-xylene and, notably, stronger coordinating solvents or ancillary ligands have to be avoided. Thus, the Pd center becomes more electron deficient and the reductive elimination becomes more favorable. The Pd-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of di-ortho-fluorinated aryl boronate derivatives is difficult in strongly coordinating solvents or in the presence of strong ancillary ligands, as the reaction stops at the [PdL2(2,6-C6F2+nH3-n)2] stage after the transmetalations without the reductive elimination taking place. It is known that the rate of reductive elimination of Ar–Ar from [ML2(Ar)(Ar)] complexes containing group-10 metals decreases in the order Arrich–Arpoor > Arrich–Arrich > Arpoor–Arpoor. Furthermore, reductive elimination of the most electron-poor diaryls, such as C6F5–C6F5, from [PdL2(C6F5)2] complexes is difficult and has been a challenge for 50 years, due to their high stability as the Pd–Caryl bond is strong. Thus, the Pd-catalyzed homocoupling of perfluoro phenyl boronates is found to be rather difficult.
Further investigation showed that stoichiometric reactions of C6F5Bpin, 2,4,6-trifluorophenyl–Bpin, or 2,6-difluorophenyl–Bpin with palladium acetate in MeCN stops at the double transmetalation step, as demonstrated by the isolation of cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(C6F5)2], cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(2,4,6-C6F3H2)2], and cis-[Pd(MeCN)2(2,6-C6F2H3)2] in quantitative yields. Thus, it can be concluded that the reductive elimination from diaryl-palladium complexes containing two ortho-fluorines in both aryl rings, is difficult even in a weakly coordinating solvent such as MeCN. Therefore, even less coordinating solvents are needed to make the Pd center more electron deficient. Reactions using “noncoordinating” arene solvents such as toluene, benzene, or m-xylene were conducted and found to be effective for the catalytic homocoupling of 2,6-C6F2+nH3-nBpin. The scope of the reactions was expanded. Using toluene as the solvent, the palladium-catalyzed homocoupling of ArF–Bpin derivatives containing one, two or no ortho-fluorines gave the coupled products in excellent yields without any difficulties.
DFT calculations at the B3LYP-D3/def2-TZVP/6-311+g(2d,p)/IEFPCM // B3LYP-D3/SDD/6-31g**/IEFPCM level of theory predicted an exergonic process and lower barrier (< 21 kcal/mol) for the reductive elimination of Pd(C6F5)2 complexes bearing arene ligands, compared to stronger coordinating solvents (acetonitrile, THF, SMe2, and PMe3), which have high barriers ( > 33.7 kcal/mol). Reductive elimination from [Pd(ηn-Ar)(C6F5)2] complexes have low barriers due to: (i) ring slippage of the arene ligand as a hapticity change from η6 in the reactant to ηn (n ≤ 3) in the transition state and the product, which led to less σ-repulsion; and (ii) more favorable π-back-bonding from Pd(ArF)2 to the arene fragment in the transition state.
Chapter 4
In this chapter, the efficient Pd-catalyzed C–Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho-fluorines is presented. The reactions are conducted under base-free conditions to prevent the decomposition of the di-ortho-fluorinated aryl boronates, which are unstable in the presence of base. A combination of Pd(dba)2 (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) with SPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,6′-dimethoxybiphenyl) as a ligand is efficient to catalyze the C–Cl borylation of aryl chlorides containing two ortho-fluorine substituents without base, and the products were isolated in excellent yields. The substrate scope can be expanded to aryl chloride containing one or no ortho-fluorines and the borylated products were isolated in good to very good yield. This method provides a nice alternative to traditional methodologies using lithium or Grignard reagents.
This thesis reports on the applications of a particular N-heterocyclic silylene, Dipp2NHSi (1), as an ambiphilic reagent in main group chemistry and as a ligand in transition metal chemistry. One focus of the work lies in the evaluation of the differences in the reactivity of N-heterocyclic silylenes in main group element and transition metal chemistry in comparison with the in these areas nowadays ubiquitous N-heterocyclic carbenes. The first chapter gives an insight into the reactivity of Dipp2NHSi with respect to different types of main group element compounds. Silylene 1 was reacted with group 13 compounds. Adduct formation was observed with AlI3, Al(C6F5)3 and B(C6F5)3 which led to isolation of Dipp2NHSi·AlI3 (2), Dipp2NHSi·Al(C6F5)3 (3) and Dipp2NHSi·B(C6F5)3 (4). Furthermore, the reactivity of Dipp2NHSi (1) with respect to different elementhalide bonds was investigated. The reaction with elemental bromine and iodine leads to the dihalosilanes Dipp2NHSiBr2 (5) and Dipp2NHSiI2 (6). Utilizing methyl iodide, benzyl chloride and benzyl bromide, the insertion products Dipp2NHSi(I)(Me) (10), Dipp2NHSi(Cl)(benzyl) (11) and Dipp2NHSi(Br)(benzyl) (12) are obtained. Thus, insertion is preferred to reductive coupling with formation of RH2C–CH2R (R = H, Ph) and the corresponding dihalosilane. The reaction of 1 with Me3SnCl leads to the diazabutene {(Me3Sn)N(Dipp)CH}2 (9). The reaction of 1 with Ph2SnCl2 gives exclusively Dipp2NHSiCl2 (8) and cyclic polystannanes (Ph2Sn)n. The reactivity of 1 towards selected 1,3-dipolar compounds was also examined and Dipp2NHSi was reacted with azides of different size. The reaction with adamantyl azide led to the formation of the tetrazoline 13. For the reaction with the sterically less demanding trimethylsilyl azide the azido silane Dipp2NHSi(N(SiMe3)2)(N3) (14) and the degradation product 14* was isolated. The cyclosilamine 15 was formed from the reaction of 1 with 2,6-(diphenyl)phenyl azide. The bonding situation and ligation properties of Dipp2NHSi in transition metal complexes was assessed in the second part of the thesis by means of theoretical calculations and experimental investigations. Calculations on the main electronic features of Me2Im/Me2NHSi and Dipp2NHSi/Dipp2Im revealed significant differences in the frontier orbital region of these compounds, which affect the ligation properties of NHSis in general. It was demonstrated that NHSis show significantly different behaviour concerning their coordination chemistry. In particular, one energetically low lying π-acceptor orbital seems to determine the coordination chemistry of these ligands. To provide experimental support for these calculations, the silylene complexes [M(CO)5(Dipp2NHSi)] (M = Cr 16, Mo 17, W 18) were synthesized from Dipp2NHSi and [M(CO)6] (M = Cr, Mo, W) and the tungsten NHSi complex 18 was compared to the NHC complexes [W(CO)5(iPr2Im)] (19), [W(CO)5(iPr2ImMe)] (20) and [W(CO)5(Me2ImMe)] (21). The bonding of Me2Im and Me2NHSi (= L) to transition metal complexes has been assessed with DFT calculations for the model systems [Ni(L)], [Ni(CO)3(L)], and [W(CO)5(L)]. These studies revealed some common features in the difference between M–NHSi and M–NHC bonding which largely affect the bonding situation in transition metal complexes. NHSis show a propensity for bridging two metal atoms which was demonstrated on three different examples. Dipp2NHSi reacts with [Ni(CO)4] to form the dinuclear silylene-bridged complex [{Ni(CO)2(μ-Dipp2NHSi)}2] (22) upon CO elimination. The reduction of [Ni(η5-C5H5)2] with lithium naphthalenide in the presence of Dipp2NHSi yielded the NHSi-bridged Ni(I) dimer [{(η5 C5H5)Ni(µ-Dipp2NHSi)}2] (23). The dimeric half-sandwich complex [{(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2}2] led upon reaction with Dipp2NHSi to the formation of the dinuclear, NHSi-bridged complex [{(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)}2(µ-CO)(µ-Dipp2NHSi)] (24). The insertion of Dipp2NHSi into metal halide bonds was investigated in a series of manganese complexes [Mn(CO)5(X)] (X = Cl, Br, I). The reaction of Dipp2NHSi with [Mn(CO)5(I)] led to substitution of two carbonyl ligands with Dipp2NHSi (1) to afford the tricarbonyl complex [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(I)] (25). In 25, the iodide ligand is aligned in the {Mn(CO)3} plane, located between both NHSi silicon atoms. Treatment of [Mn(CO)5(Br)] with two equivalents of Dipp2NHSi afforded the complex [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(Br)] (26), in which the bromide ligand is distorted towards one of the NHSi ligands. The reaction of the silylene ligand with [Mn(CO)5(Cl)] at room temperature afforded a mixture of two products, [Mn(CO)3(Dipp2NHSi)2(Cl)] (27*) and the insertion product [Mn(CO)4(Dipp2NHSi)(Dipp2NHSi-Cl)] (27). Complete transfer of a halide to the silylene was achieved for the reaction of Dipp2NHSi with [(η5-C5H5)Ni(PPh3)(Cl)] to yield [Ni(PPh3)(η5-C5H5)(Dipp2NHSi-Cl)] (28). Similarly, the reaction with [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2(I)] led to the formation of [(η5 C5H5)Fe(CO)2(Dipp2NHSi-I)] (29).
In the course of this work, a total of three photocatalytically active dyads for proton reduction could be synthesized together with the associated individual components. Two of them, D1 and D2, comprised a [Ru(bpy)3]2+ photosensitizer and D3 an [Ir(ppy)2bpy]+ photosensitizer. A Ppyr3-substituted propyldithiolate [FeFe] complex was used as catalyst in all systems. The absorption spectroscopic and electrochemical investigations showed that an inner-dyadic electronic coupling is effectively prevented in the dyads due to conjugation blockers within the bridging units used. The photocatalytic investigations exhibited that all dyad containing two-component systems (2CS) showed a significantly worse performance than the corresponding bimolecular three-component systems (3CS). Transient absorption spectroscopy showed that the 2CS behave very similarly to the associated multicomponent systems during photocatalysis. The electron that was intended for the intramolecular transfer from the photosensitizer unit to the catalyst unit within the dyads remains at the photosensitizer for a relatively long time, analogous to the 3CS and despite the covalently bound catalyst. It is therefore assumed that this intramolecular electron transfer is likely to be hindered as a result of the weak electronic coupling caused by the bridge units used. Instead, the system bypasses this through an intermolecular transfer to other dyad molecules in the immediate vicinity. In addition, with the help of emission quenching experiments and electrochemical investigations, it could be clearly concluded that all investigated systems proceed via the reductive quenching mechanism during photocatalysis.

This thesis describes the synthesis and reactivity of bis-NHC ligated nickel(0)-complexes and their application in catalytic cyclization and borylation reactions of alkynes. The focus of the presented work lies on the investigation of the electronic and steric impact of different NHC ligands on the reactivity and catalytic activity of [Ni(NHC)2] complexes. Since d10 ML2 complexes play a decisive role for numerous catalytic reactions, such as the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling, the first chapter provides an overview about the general properties of NHCs and the chemistry of NHC-ligated nickel complexes, their synthesis, characterization, reactivity, and application in catalysis.
Einfach Lewis-Basen stabilisierte Borylene wurden durch Reduktion in situ hergestellt und in Gegenwart von Kohlenstoffmonoxid oder Distickstoff umgesetzt. Die entstandenen Verbindungen wurden mittels NMR-, ESR-, UV/Vis- und IR-Spektroskopie sowie Einkristallröntgenstrukturanalyse charakterisiert. Im Zuge dessen konnten für die erhaltenen Spezies Eigenschaften ermittelt werden, die denen analoger Übergangsmetallkomplexe ähneln. Ferner konnten die zugrundeliegenden mechanistischen Vorgänge der Reaktionen durch gezielte Variation der Reaktionsparameter aufgeklärt werden. Zudem wurden Redoxverhalten und Reaktivitäten der isolierten Produkte in weiterführenden Studien näher untersucht.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde die Reaktivität des Phosphorans (C2F5)3PF2 gegenüber Lewis-Basen (N-heterozyklische Carbene und Phosphane) und gegenüber verschiedenen Übergangsmetall-Fluoridokomplexen untersucht. Im ersten Teil werden die Lewis-Säure/Base-Addukte zwischen (C2F5)3PF2 und verschiedenen
N-heterozyklischen Carbenen (NHCs) beschrieben. Der Fokus des zweiten Teils der Arbeit liegt auf der Darstellung kationischer Komplexe ausgehend von neutralen d-Block-Metallfluoriden, welche durch Fluorid-Transfer auf das Lewis-acide (C2F5)3PF2 erfolgt. Hierbei wurden Komplexe verschiedener Übergangsmetalle (Ti, Ni, Cu) verwendet, wodurch der Fluorid-Transfer auf das Phosphoran quer über die 3d-Reihe untersucht wurde. Im letzten Kapitel dieser Arbeit wurden die Synthese und die Anwendung von Kationen des Typs [(NHC)Cu]+ eingehender untersucht. Dazu wurde zunächst die Synthese der Ausgangsverbindungen [(NHC)Cu(F)] modifiziert. Anschließend wurden diese Fluorido-Komplexe auf deren Reaktivität gegenüber (C2F5)3PF2 untersucht. Nachfolgend wurden die Reaktivität von [(Dipp2Im)Cu(C6Me6)]FAP in Ligandenaustauschreaktionen bzw. die Synthese von Komplexen [(Dipp2Im)Cu(LB)]FAP (LB = Lewis-Base) eingehender untersucht.
