TLDR
The strongly reducing metalloradical character of 1, 1-(i)Pr, and 1-Cy in their (2)A1 excited states afforded photochemical halogen atom abstraction reactions from sp(3) and sp(2) C-X (X = Cl, Br, I) bonds for the first time with a lanthanide cation.Abstract:
Luminescent Ce(III) complexes, Ce[N(SiMe3)2]3 (1) and [(Me3Si)2NC(RN)2]Ce[N(SiMe3)2]2 (R = iPr, 1-iPr; R = Cy, 1-Cy), with C3v and C2v solution symmetries display absorptive 4f → 5d electronic transitions in the visible region. Emission bands are observed at 553, 518, and 523 nm for 1, 1-iPr, and 1-Cy with lifetimes of 24, 67, and 61 ns, respectively. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) studies on 1 and 1-iPr revealed the 2A1 excited states corresponded to singly occupied 5dz2 orbitals. The strongly reducing metalloradical character of 1, 1-iPr, and 1-Cy in their 2A1 excited states afforded photochemical halogen atom abstraction reactions from sp3 and sp2 C–X (X = Cl, Br, I) bonds for the first time with a lanthanide cation. The dehalogenation reactions could be turned over with catalytic amounts of photosensitizers by coupling salt metathesis and reduction to the photopromoted atom abstraction reactions.read more
