Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, density functional calculations reveal that the increased efficiency of these complexes as catalysts for olefin epoxidation originates from their stability and from the moderate energies of the corresponding transition states.
Abstract: Pyrazole and pyridine adducts of methyltrioxorhenium(VII) form bisperoxo complexes with excess H2O2 (see picture). Density functional calculations reveal that the increased efficiency of these complexes as catalysts for olefin epoxidation originates from their stability and from the moderate energies of the corresponding transition states. Nonaromatic nitrogen-base ligands reduce the catalytic performance of the adducts, in agreement with the computational results.

TL;DR: "Bidentate" ligand behavior is shown by (2,6-dimethylphenyl)diphenylphosphane in the title compound, and NMR investigation and an X-ray analysis reveal that the methyl groups act as weak donors to form two strong agostic Ru⋅ⓂC-H interactions.
Abstract: "Bidentate" ligand behavior is shown by (2,6-dimethylphenyl)diphenylphosphane in the title compound: In the nearly octahedral environment of the ruthenium atom two coordination sites are occupied by methyl groups of the two xylyl substituents. NMR investigation and an X-ray analysis (see picture) reveal that the methyl groups act as weak donors to form two strong agostic Ru⋅⋅⋅C-H interactions.

TL;DR: In this article, axially substituted axial substituted complexes of formula trans-[Mo2(µ-OAc)2(dppma) 2(NCCH3)n][BF4]n were characterized by 1H-, 13C-, and 31P{1H}-NMR, IR, Raman, and UV/Vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and cyclic voltammetry, and four of these complexes were additionally examined by single crystal X-ray analysis.
Abstract: Reaction of trans-[Mo2(µ-OAc)2(dppma)2(NCCH3)n][BF4]2 (n = 0–2, dppma = bis(diphenylphosphino)methylamine) with a variety of ligands containing a nitrile group leads to axially substituted complexes of formula trans-[Mo2(µ-OAc)2(dppma)2(RCN)2][BF4]n (n = 0, 2), R can be both an organic and an organometallic moiety The obtained complexes are characterized by 1H-, 13C-, and 31P{1H}-NMR, IR, Raman, and UV/Vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and cyclic voltammetry Four of these complexes are additionally examined by single crystal X-ray analysis The applied methods show that the axial ligands influence the spectroscopic and crystallographic data of the central moiety only slightly However, while X-ray crystallography shows the MoMo quadruple bond length not to be significantly influenced by axial ligands, Raman spectroscopy gives a more detailed insight: organic ligands of the type NCR (R = CH3, t-Bu, C6H5etc) in axial positions weaken the MoMo interaction less than organometallic ligands of the type [NC–M(CO)5]– (M = Cr, Mo, W) and NCFe(CO)2Cp UV/Vis examination indicates charge transfer from the organometallic axial ligands to the MoMo moiety
