Reactions of the zirconocene alkyne complex [rac-(ebthi)Zr(η2-Me3SiC2SiMe3)] (rac-(ebthi) = rac-1,2-ethylene-1,1′-bis(η5-tetrahydroindenyl)) with tert-butylisocyanide and methylbenzenes were investigated. Depending on the stoichiometry, the solvent and the reaction temperature different products were obtained. Starting with the end-on coordination of the isocyanide to the zirconium centre (2), elevated reaction temperatures and an excess of tert-butylisocyanide resulted after the elimination of the alkyne in the formation of zirconocene η2-iminoacyl cyanide complexes 3a-d. These complexes are formed by coupling with a benzyl fragment through C-H bond activation of a methyl group of methylbenzene. The dimeric cyanide bridged zirconocene complex 4 is formed as a side-product of this process. The unexpected dimer and the heterometallacycles were fully characterised, including X-ray crystallography.

Abstract: A series of cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes with nitrile and isocyanide ligands (RCN and RNC; R = t-Bu, Bn, Ph) have been synthesized in 60–80% yields from the dimer [{Pt(ppy)Cl}2] (Hppy is 2-phenylpyridine) and the corresponding nitriles and isocyanides. The structure of the synthesized complexes was determined by mass spectrometry, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The contributions of different intermolecular interactions to the crystal packing were estimated by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Photophysical properties of the synthesized complexes in solution and solid state were studied.

A simple, mild and practical cascade process for the direct conversion of aldehydes to cyanamides was developed featuring a wide substrate scope and great functional group tolerability. This method allows for transformations of readily available, inexpensive, and abundant aldehydes to highly valuable cyanamides in a pot, atom, and step-economical manner with a green nitrogen source. This protocol will serve as a robust tool for the installation of the cyanamide moiety in various complicated molecules.
