Ch14 Organometallic Reactions I. Reactions Involving Gain or Loss of Ligands A. Ligand Dissociation and Substitution 1) Ligand (CO) Dissociation can be caused by heat 2) Ligand (CO) Substitution is important for synthesis of new complexes a) Rate is independent of incoming ligand = D mechanism (for most) Ni(CO)4 Ni(CO)3 18e- to 16e- (slow) Ni(CO)3 + L Ni(CO)3L 16e- to 18e- (fast) b) Some organometallic substitutions show a two-term rate law i) Rate = k1[Complex] + k2[Complex][L] ii) k1 is due to the dissociative mechanism iii) k2 is due to a competing associative mechanism c) d) 3) Larger metals show more A mechanism; smaller metals mostly D Highly nucleophilic ligands tend to increase A mechanism Phosphine Dissociation a) Cone Angle is defined for phosphine ligands b) 4) Larger cone angle = larger steric repulsion = faster ligand dissociation Neither Dissociation nor Substitution reactions change the metal oxidation state B. Oxidative Addition 1) Coordination Number and Oxidation State of Metal Increase LnMm+ + X—Y LnM(m+2)+XY (XY = acyl halide, alkyl halide, etc..) 2) Examples: Dissociation Fe(CO)5 Fe(CO)4 Fe0, 18e- Fe , 16e 0 - Ox. Add. I2 cis-Fe(CO)4I2 Fe2+, 18e- 3) Cyclometallations incorporate metals into organic rings; may be Ox. Add. Ox. Add Substitution C. Reductive Elimination 1) Opposite of Ox. Add.; Oxidation State and Coord. Number are reduced (Cp)2TaH + H2 3+ - Ta , 16e Ox. Add. Red. Elim. (Cp)2TaH3 5+ - Ta , 18e 2) Red. Elim. often results in products like: R—H, R—R’, R—X, H—H 3) Steric bulk of phosphine ligands can increase the rate of red. elim. D. Nucleophilic Displacement 1) Nucleophilic Ligands may displace others (Substitution) 2) Nucleophilic Complexes may react with electrophiles E. Summary II. Reactions Involving Modification of Ligands A. Insertion Reactions 1) 1,2-Insertions a) New bonds to adjacent atoms b) Like 1,2-additions to alkenes in organic chemistry c) May play a role in some catalyzed polymerizations 1,2-Insert M CH2R + H2C CH2 M CH2R M CH2CH2CH2R H2C CH2 2) 1,1-Insertions a) Both new bonds are to the same atom of the inserting group b) Carbonyl Insertion, Carbonyl Migration, or Alkyl Migration? i. CO Insertion = direct CO insertion from external CO ii. CO Migration = movement of bound CO into M—R bond iii. Alkyl Migration = movement of bound R to bound CO c) Experimental Evidence i. Free 13CO + complex gives no labeled acyl product This rules out mechanism #1, CO insertion ii. Reverse reaction gives 100% cis 13CO and R Both mechanism #2 and mechanism #3 are consistent with this result iii. Reverse reaction with 13CO cis to acyl group gives 2:1 cis:trans product Only Mechanism #3 Alkyl Migration is consistent with this data B. C. Hydride Elimination 1) Transfer of H from ligand to M; formation of double bond in ligand 2) b-elimination is most common, a and g are known 3) Reverse of 1,2-insertion 4) Coordinatively Saturated or Alkyl complexes without b-hydrogens are most stable Abstraction = eliminations with no change in metal coordination number
