FeI compounds including hydrogenases show remarkable properties and reactivities. Several iron(I) complexes have been established in stoichiometric reactions as model compounds for N2 or CO2 activation. The development of well-defined iron(I) complexes for catalytic transformations remains a challenge. The few examples include cross-coupling reactions, hydrogenations of terminal olefins, and azide functionalizations. Here the syntheses and properties of bimetallic complexes [MFeI(trop2dae)(solv)] (M=Na, solv=3-thf; M=Li, solv=2-Et2O; trop=5H-dibenzo[a,d]cyclo-hepten-5-yl, dae=(N-CH2-CH2-N) with a d7 Fe low-spin valence-electron configuration are reported. Both compounds promote the dehydrogenation of N,N-dimethylaminoborane, and the former is a precatalyst for the dehydrogenative alcoholysis of silanes. No indications for heterogeneous catalyses were found. High activities and complete conversions were observed particularly with [NaFeI(trop2dae)(thf)3]. Square-planar FeI: A low-valent iron center has been stabilized in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry by using a diamido-diolefin ligand and an alkali metal counterion (see scheme). The heterobimetallic compounds of this type initiate the dehydrogenation of N,N-dimethylaminoborane and the dehydrogenative alcoholysis of silanes. The counterion [Li(OEt2)2]+ or [Na(thf)3]+ affects the catalytic performance.

Three-coordinate PhBOX (Formula presented.) ZnR (PhBOX (Formula presented.) =phenyl-(4,4-dimethyl-oxazolinato; R=Me: 2 a, Et: 2 b) catalyzes the dehydrocoupling of primary or secondary silanes and alcohols to give silyl ethers and hydrogen, with high turnover numbers (TON; up to 107) under solvent-free conditions. Primary and secondary silanes react with small, medium, and large alcohols to give various degrees of substitution, from mono- to tri-alkoxylation, whereas tri-substituted silanes do not react with MeOH under these conditions. The effect of coordinative unsaturation on the behavior of the Zn catalyst is revealed through a dramatic variation of both rate law and experimental rate constants, which depend on the concentrations of both the alcohol and hydrosilane reactants. That is, the catalyst adapts its mechanism to access the most facile and efficient conversion. In particular, either alcohol or hydrosilane binds to the open coordination site on the PhBOX (Formula presented.) ZnOR catalyst to form a PhBOX (Formula presented.) ZnOR(HOR) complex under one set of conditions or an unprecedented σ-adduct PhBOX (Formula presented.) ZnOR(H?SiR′3) under other conditions. Saturation kinetics provide evidence for the latter species, in support of the hypothesis that σ-bond metathesis reactions involving four-centered electrocyclic 2σ–2σ transition states are preceded by σ-adducts.

The mesoionic compound (1,4-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium-3-yl)phenylazanide, commonly referred to as Nitron, has been employed as a "crypto-NHC"to afford 1,2,4-triazolylidene compounds of nickel, palladium, and iridium. Specifically, Nitron reacts with NiBr2, PdCl2, and [Ir(COD)Cl]2 to afford the N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (NitronNHC)2NiBr2, (NitronNHC)2PdCl2, and (NitronNHC)Ir(COD)Cl, respectively. The lattermost compound reacts with (i) CO to afford the dicarbonyl compound (NitronNHC)Ir(CO)2Cl and (ii) CO, in the presence of PPh3, to afford the monocarbonyl compound (NitronNHC)Ir(PPh3)(CO)Cl. Structural studies on (NitronNHC)Ir(COD)Cl and (NitronNHC)Ir(CO)2Cl indicate that NitronNHC has a stronger trans influence than does Cl; furthermore, IR spectroscopic studies on (NitronNHC)Ir(CO)2Cl indicate that NitronNHC is electronically similar to the structurally related Enders carbene but is less electron donating than imidazol-2-ylidenes with aryl substituents. Significantly, the NitronNHC ligand affords catalytic systems, as illustrated by the ability of (NitronNHC)Ir(CO)2Cl to effect (i) the dehydrogenation of formic acid, (ii) aldehyde hydrosilylation, (iii) dehydrocoupling of hydrosilanes and alcohols, and (iv) ketone reduction via transfer hydrogenation.
High Production of Hydrogen on Demand from Silanes Catalyzed by Iridium Complexes as a Versatile Hydrogen Storage System

The catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of silanes and alcohols represents a convenient process to produce hydrogen on demand. The catalyst, an iridium complex of the formula [IrCp?(Cl)2(NHC)] containing an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand functionalized with a pyrene tag, catalyzes efficiently the reaction at room temperature producing H2 quantitatively within a few minutes. As a result, the dehydrogenative coupling of 1,4-disilabutane and methanol enables an effective hydrogen storage capacity of 4.3 wt % that is as high as the hydrogen contained in the dehydrogenation of formic acid, positioning the silane/alcohol pair as a potential liquid organic hydrogen carrier for energy storage. In addition, the heterogenization of the iridium complex on graphene presents a recyclable catalyst that retains its activity for at least 10 additional runs. The homogeneous distribution of catalytic active sites on the basal plane of graphene prevents diffusion problems, and the reaction kinetics are maintained after immobilization.
