▼ The chapters that follow describe two independent investigations. Both relay the development of experimental methods for the catalytic, asymmetric addition of carbon-hydrogen bonds to alkenes. In the first chapter, nucleophilic amine and
N-
heterocyclic carbene cocatalysts cooperate in the organocatalytic, cascade synthesis of benzofuranone products in good yields and high enantioselectivities. Importantly, the cascade protocol is found to outperform a two-pot procedure in which reaction intermediates are isolated and purified before the second step. Mechanistic studies reveal that additives and geometry of an olefin intermediate crucially influence reaction enantioselectivity. In the second method, a bulky Rh(I)-bisphosphine complex catalyzes the asymmetric, intermolecular addition of benzoxazoles to methacrylate derivatives in fair to excellent yields and good to excellent enantioselectivities. Detailed deuterium labeling and epimerization studies provide considerable insight into the reaction mechanism: C-H activation is reversible; migratory insertion is likely enantiodetermining; and the bulky- bisphosphine ligand likely boosts reactivity and selectivity by discouraging deleterious ligation of benzoxazole starting materials to on- or off-cycle rhodium complexes and by impeding coordination-induced product epimerization.

▼ This thesis describes investigations into unconventional pincer systems incorporating non-classical central donor groups. Direct reaction of 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3,2-benzodiazaborole (dppBH) with metal complexes and subsequent ligand manipulations have provided novel ruthenium and, for the first time, osmium boryl pincer complexes. The boryl complexes thus prepared have been observed to undergo various subsequent reactions involving the chloride and triphenylphosphine co-ligands to give new complexes.
Further reactions of dppBH with complexes dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) and -osmium(II) resulted in the first examples of sigma-borane pincer complexes, which represent intercepted intermediates in the B-H activation process, affording rare structural data for an osmium sigma-borane complex. The B-H bond of the ruthenium complex could be readily cleaved upon ligand manipulation, such as substitution of triphenylphosphine with the pi-acidic carbonyl and isocyanide ligands, which gave the disubstituted boryl complexes via spontaneous loss of HCl.
Attempts to isolate a 1,8-diaminonaphthalene-based borane analogue of dppBH proved unsuccessful, though the compound 1,3 bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-2,3-dihydroperimidine (PhDHP) was obtained as a side-product in one case. Further investigations into this compound resulted in the development of a convenient one-pot synthesis, which could be extended to the cyclohexyl analogue 1,3 bis(dicyclohexylphosphinomethyl)-2,3-dihydroperimidine (CyDHP). These compounds were observed to react with various platinum group metal complexes to give novel N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) pincer complexes via double geminal C-H activation of the central methylene group, providing the first examples of perimidine-based NHC inclusion as the central equatorial group of a pincer system.
Reactions of dihydroperimidines with group 8 complexes dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) and -osmium(II) have thus provided the novel pincer NHC complexes. However, reactions of PhDHP with dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium and CyDHP with less electron-rich ruthenium precursors instead gave asymmetric PNP coordinated complexes, in which C-H activation had not occurred, though this could be induced thermally in one case.
Reactions of PhDHP and CyDHP with chlorotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) gave 16-electron chloro rhodium(I) NHC pincer complexes, and their reactivity was investigated via co-ligand manipulations and a preliminary catalytic study. The latter revealed that, while this complex was not particularly efficient for most of the reactions investigated, in some cases simple modifications of the co-ligands could substantially improve catalytic activity.
Reactions of the pro-ligands with iridium precursors instead favoured the formation of coordinatively saturated complexes. The reaction of CyDHP with chlorobis(cyclooctene)iridium(I) dimer resulted in a dihydrido chloro iridium(III) NHC pincer complex, while reaction with…

▼ α-Cyanocarbanion complexes are an interesting class of complexes that contain a nitrile ligand featuring a deprotonated α-carbon. Chapter 1 gives an overview of the various synthetic methods, bonding modes and applications that have been established in the literature. Of particular interest is the role these complexes have as intermediates in the formation of various different compounds including the synthetically versatile β-hydroxynitriles.
One example of a catalyst that can be used to synthesise a range of β-hydroxynitriles from the corresponding aldehydes under base free conditions is the POCOP pincer complex [{2,6-(iPr(2)PO)(2)C(6)H(3)}Ni(CH(2)CN)]. DFT calculations outlined in Chapter 2 indicated some of the key features of the complex in relation to its catalytic performance. These were that the –CH(2)CN ligand isomerises to yield the active N-bound catalyst in solution, the trans donation effect of the phenyl ring lowers the energy of the transition state of the reaction and the rate determining transition state involves a 5 coordinate intermediate and therefore the steric hindrance of the phosphine substituent influences the performance.
Chapter 3 describes a series of bis(NHC) palladium(II) complexes (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) of the type [{(RIm)(2)CH(2)}Pd(NCMe)(2)][PF(6)](2) with different N-substituents which were reacted with NaOH in CH(3)CN. Two different products were formed under similar conditions. [{(RIm)(2)CH(2)}Pd(CH(2)CN)(2)] was observed for both the R = Me and 2,4,6-trimethyphenyl (Mes) substituent while [{([RIm](2)CH(2))Pd(μ–CH(2)CN)}(2)][PF(6)](2) was observed for both the R = Mes and 2,6-diisopropylphenyl substituent. The two initial products that were not formed under these conditions could be synthesised under modified conditions. Complexes of the type [{(MesIm)(2)CH(2)}Pd(NCR)(2)][PF(6)](2) where R = CH(2)CH(3) and CH(2)CH(2)CH(3) were also synthesised, however, subsequent conversion to the corresponding [{(RIm)(2)CH(2)}Pd(CHRCN)(2)] was not successful.
In Chapter 4 a range of NHC-containing pincer complexes were synthesised due to their close structural similarity to the successful POCOP complex and therefore may result in successful catalytic applications under similar reaction conditions. These complexes contain two NHC ligands bridged by either a pyridine or phenyl ring. [CNC(iPr)Pd(CH(2)CN)][SbF(6)] was synthesised from the corresponding NCMe complex following the same method used for the bis(NHC) complexes. [CCC(Me)Pd(NCMe)][SbF(6)] was prepared from the previously reported Br complex. However attempts to form the corresponding –CH(2)CN complex were not fruitful.
A number of alternative synthetic approaches were attempted for the desired non methylene linked phenyl based complex using various ligand modifications. Initially reactions were based on the pro-ligands of the type [1,3-{(R)ImH}(2)Ph]X(2) where R = CH(3) and X = I or R = nBu and…

▼ Chapter one introduces N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) and discusses their use as ligands for rare earth metal complexes, with particular emphasis upon compounds synthesised from 2009 until the present day. Chapter two details the synthesis and characterisation of the homoleptic scandium-NHC complex [Sc(L)3] (L = [OCMe2CH2(1-C{NCHCHNiPr})]). Reactions of [Sc(L)3] with boranes, CO2 and CS2 are described which exploit the relative lability of the Sc–Ccarbene bond and allow formation of [Sc(L)2(OCMe2CH2(1-B'C{NCHCHNiPr}))] (B' = 9-BBN, BPh3, B(C6F5)3, BH3), [Sc(OCMe2CH2(1-O2CC{NCHCHNiPr})3]n, [Sc(L)2(OCMe2CH2 (1-S2CC{NCHCHNiPr})] and [Sc(L)(OCMe2CH2(1-S2CC{NCHCHNiPr})2]2. The chapter also discusses the reactivity of [Sc(L)3] towards substrates containing acidic C–H and N–H bonds and substrates containing polar E–X bonds (where E = C, Si, B, P and X = Cl, I). Chapter three describes the synthesis and characterisation of the NHC substituted scandium benzyl complexes [Sc(Bn)2(L)]2 and [Sc(Bn)(L)2], and the attempted synthesis of NHC substituted scandium aminobenzyl complexes. The reactivity of [Sc(Bn)2(L)]2 with RX substrates (R = alkyl) is discussed in detail; depending on the nature of the alkyl group, these reactions can allow formation of R–Bn , the result of carbon-carbon coupling. The complex [Sc(Bn)(L)Cl]2 has been isolated from these reactions and is structurally characterised. The reactivity of [Sc(Bn)2(L)]2 towards C–H bonds is explored and attempts to prepare NHC substituted scandium hydrides are described. Comparisons of the relative stability and reactivity of [Sc(Bn)2(L)]2 and [Sc(Bn)3(thf)3] are drawn. Chapter four documents the synthesis and characterisation of [Sc(Odtbp)2(L)] (Odtbp = 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide), [Sc(Odtbp)(L)2], and the samarium analogue [Sm(Odtbp)(L)2]. The reactivity of these complexes towards various small molecules is described. The chapter also details attempts to prepare the cationic scandium complexes [Sc(L)2][Bort] (Bort = bis[3,3',5,5'-tetra-(tert-butyl)-2,2-diphenolato]borate) and [Sc(L)2][B(Ph)4]. Chapter five provides overall conclusions to the work presented in this thesis. Chapter six contains all experimental and characterising data for the complexes and reactions detailed in this work.

▼ The thiophene-based metallopolymer provides a great template for redox-active catalysts. Chemical or electrochemical doping of the metallopolymer can generate charged species within the polymer backbone thereby tuning the electronic nature of the bound metals. The metal-ligand bond strength and the catalytic activity in such a conducting metallopolymer can be tuned directly by applying different potential to the material. Thiophene-functionalized
N-
heterocyclic carbene (NHC) based palladium complexes are believed to be catalytically active for cross-coupling reactions and electropolymerizable into the metallopolymer. The tenability of the resulting metallopolymers as cross-coupling reaction catalysts can be evaluated by their catalytic performances under different applied voltages. Two thiophene-functionalized benzimidazolium chloride molecules (DThBMesHCl and DThBAdHCl) were synthesized as precursors for NHC ligands. Their metalation with Pd and Ag precursors failed to generate desired metal complexes. The results were analyzed by comparison with the literature examples and the Ag metalation of non-thiophene version of the benzimidazolium chloride molecule. The major obstacles for the metalation were concluded to be the steric hindrance from the bulky
N-substituent and/or the lack of acidity of the imidazolium moiety.

▼ Since the discovery of the first stable
silver
N-
heterocyclic carbene complex by Arduengo in 1991, the
field of silver
N-
heterocyclic carbene complexes has expanded
greatly. These complexes have been studied extensively for use in
catalysis, as transmetallation agents, and more recently for
pharmaceutical applications. Silver has been used for centuries as
an anti-microbial agent, and more recently has been shown to have
anti-tumor activity as well. Combination with the easily modified
N-
heterocyclic carbene ligand yields a drug that can be rationally
designed for increased water solubility, increased lipophilicity,
or to increase activity. These complexes have shown great results,
and will be the main focus of this dissertation. Chapter 1 of this
dissertation reviews silver
N-
heterocyclic carbene complexes as
promising antimicrobial agents and the evolution of the field over
the past two decades. Chapter 2 discusses the synthesis of a new
N-
heterocyclic carbene backbone, 4,5,6,7-tetrachlorobenzimidazole,
and the corresponding silver complexes for antimicrobial use. These
complexes were then examined in vitro against a panel of clinical
bacteria, displaying inhibitory concentrations between 0.25-4
µg/mL. Additionally, two of the silver complexes displayed
antimicrobial activity against a silver-resistant E. coli
strain. Chapter 3 discusses the rational design
of several new naphthalene containing imidazolium cations, the
precursors to silver
N-
heterocyclic carbene complexes, for the use
as anti-tumor drugs. These new imidazolium cations have been
designed to increase water solubility, anti-tumor activity, and
encapsulation efficiency into biodegradable delivery devices
through modification of the substituents. These cations have
demonstrated in vitro anti-tumor activity comparable to cisplatin
against three types of lung cancer. The anti-tumor activity
increased with the increase in the length of the alkyl chain
substituent. Additionally, it was noted that the position of the
alkyl chain on the naphthalene rings did not affect the anti-tumor
activity of the cations. Chapter 4 discusses the
in vitro anti-tumor activity of silver
carbene complexes based on
selected imidazolium cations from chapter 3. These complexes have
demonstrated an increase in water solubility in comparison to
previously reported silver
N-
heterocyclic carbene anti-tumor
complexes. Additionally, the complexes have displayed anti-tumor
activity at clinically relevant levels, demonstrating IC50 values
ranging from 5-25 µg/mL. In general, the anti-tumor activity
increased as the length of the alkyl chain on the ligand increased.
The highest activity was displayed by SCC44, which unlike the other
complexes contained two naphthalene rings.

En effet, cette nouvelle catégorie de ligands forme des liaisons très fortes avec une diversité de métaux et leur structure, ainsi que leurs propriétés électroniques, peuvent être adaptées par de la synthèse organique. Cette forte liaison est d’un intérêt particulier dans le domaine des nanoparticules d’or (NP) et des synthèses ont déjà été proposées. En effet, les NPs présentent de nombreuses applications potentielles, par exemple dans les capteurs, en catalyse ou médecine, mais ces applications sont parfois freinées par un manque de stabilité du ligand de surface. Ce travail de thèse s’est concentré sur le développement de nouvelles synthèses de nanoparticules d’or stabilisées par des NHC. D’abord, en revisitant une procédure existante à base de sels d’imidazoliums, ce qui a mené à une synthèse n’utilisant que les composés commerciaux : AuCl et NaBH4 et des halogénures d’imidazolium, facilement obtenus. Une synthèse totalement nouvelle a ensuite été développée en utilisant des NHC-boranes qui sont des adduits de Lewis stables. Nous avons montré pour la première fois que les NHC-boranes peuvent être utilisés comme réactifs "2-en-1" dans la synthèse de NP : comme réducteurs du précurseur d’or et comme source de NHC. Enfin, nous sommes les premiers à décrire la synthèse de NP stabilisées par des carbènes mésoioniques (MIC).Les MICs sont une sous-catégorie des NHCs qui sont préparés par « chimie click » et qui présentent des propriétés électroniques uniques. Un intérêt particulier a été porté à la caractérisation des nanoparticules, notamment par XPS.
Over the past decade, N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) have drawn considerable interest in the field of materials chemistry. Indeed, this relatively new class of ligands forms strong bonds with a wide range of metals and their structures and electronic properties can be tuned “at-will” through organic synthesis. This strong bond is of particular interest for gold nanoparticles. Indeed, gold nanoparticles have many potential applications, for example in sensors, catalysis or medicine, but those potential applications are sometimes hindered by a lack of stability of the surface ligand. A few syntheses of NHC-stabilized gold nanoparticles have already been described in the literature but each presents their own set of drawbacks. This thesis work has focused on the development of new syntheses of NHC-stabilized gold nanoparticles. First, by revisiting a literature procedure starting from imidazolium salts, we managed to develop a one-pot synthesis starting only from commercially available AuCl, NaBH4 and easily synthesized imidazolium salts. A totally new synthesis was developed using NHC-boranes, which are stable Lewis adducts. Here, we reported for the first time their use as a 2-in-1 reagent, able to reduce the metallic precursor and provide the nanoparticles stabilizing ligands. Finally, we are the first to report a synthesis of gold nanoparticles…

▼ The combination of Lewis acidic f-block metals and a labile nucleophilic carbene can be an excellent means to activate small molecules such as silanes, CO2 and other traditionally inert substrates. Furthermore, bidentate alkoxy-NHC ligands have shown promise in the support of unusual high oxidation state organometallic complexes, including examples of CeIV, PdIV and UVI. In this thesis the synthesis and reactivity of a series of f-block metal NHC complexes is described. Chapter One introduces N-heterocyclic carbenes and their f-block metal complexes, in particular of cerium, praseodymium and uranium. Furthermore, it will give an overview of small molecule activation by NHCs, lanthanides and specifically [Ce(LAr)N"], (L = OC(CH3)2CH2(CNCH2CH2NMes) the magnetic properties and use of lanthanides e.g. as single molecule magnets and oxo-functionalisation of the uranyl moiety. Chapter Two describes the addition-elimination reaction chemistry of CeIII and UIV NHC complexes in which polar reagents add in a heterocyclic fashion across the MNHC bond. It also describes the synthesis of the lithium salt of the alkoxycarbene proligand [LiLAr]4 and its reactivity towards f-element halide and aryloxide salts. A series of reactions to target the formation of metal-metal bonds is described. Chapter Three focuses on the synthesis of novel cerium and praseodymium complexes [Pr(LAr)N"2], [Pr(LAr)2N"], [Pr(OAr2,6-tBu)3] and [Ce(OAr2,6-tBu)3] and their reactivity towards oxidants. A series of alkoxide bridged lanthanide dimers [(Cl)Ce(μ- LAr)2Ce(Cl)2], [N"(LAr)Ce(μ-OAr2,6-tBu)OAr2,6- 2Ce(LAr)N"] and [N"(Cl)Pr(μ LAr)2Pr(Cl)N"] have been made and characterised including by SQUID variable temperature magnetometry. Chapter Four evaluates the synthesis and reactivity of uranyl complexes [UO2(LAr)2], [UO2N"2(py)2] and [UO2(OAr2,6-tBu)2(py)2], specifically their reactivity towards haloboranes in different solvents. Additionally, the oxo-functionalisation of uranyl compounds with haloboranes is discussed. Chapter Five draws conclusions and provides a summary of the work presented. Chapter Six comprises the experimental details and analytical data.

▼ An investigation into the relatively new carbene
class, N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) was completed. An improved
synthesis of the ligand was developed. NHOs were tested as ligands
for late transition metal complexes. Specifically complexes with
rhodium, gold and palladium were synthesized and characterized. The
rhodium complex allowed for investigation into the donor strength
and bonding mode. It was determined that NHOs are good σ-donors and
very poor π-acceptors. Comparing the NHOs to the ubiquitous
N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) showed NHOs to be weaker donors. The
NHO-palladium complexes were tested as catalysts for Suzuki-Miyauri
cross-coupling reactions. The complexes were active catalysts, but
fell short of the currently used NHC complexes.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Resorcin[4]arenes are 3-dimensional cyclic tetramers belonging to a class of compounds called cyclophanes. Because of their properties, including several sites of functionalization and possession of a cavity, these compounds found their way into several applications. These include
cation extraction, ion exchange mimics, molecular switches and catalysis. The latter is still at its
infancy. This work was aimed at developing the first examples of resorcin[4]arene based Nheterocyclic
carbene (NHC) complexes of palladium and evaluating their potential for catalysis of carbon-carbon bond formatting reactions.
Using an ortholithiation technology that was developed in our group, a distally functionalized
resorcin[4]arene di-ester was prepared. The reduction of the ester and bromination of the
resulting di-ol led to a distal bromomethylresorcin[4]arene. The reactions of this new
resorcin[4]arene with a variety of N-alkylimidazoles gave a small library of resorcin[4]arene
imidazolium NHC precursor salts. Initially, the preparation of a bidentate palladium complex
from the salts was attempted. The metal complex was isolated in 35% yield from an N-mesityl
imidazolium salt. When the preparation of a dinuclear metal complex series, i.e. PEPPSI, was attempted, the compounds in this class could be isolated in yields over 90%. Although these compounds show the expected coordination modes (square-planer Pd center), they showed some
variations in solid state conformations.
Resorcin[4]arene NHC compounds, both pre-formed and prepared in situ, were evaluated for catalytic ability in the Suzuki-Miyauri and Tsuji-Trost reactions. These compounds could facilitate moderate to complete conversion of starting materials to products.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Resorsin[4]arene is 3-demensionele sikliese tertramere wat behoort aan ‘n klas verbindings genaamd siklofage. As gevolg van hulle eienskappe, onder andere ‘n menigte hoeveelheid
funksionele groepe as ook ‘n molekulêre holte, het hierdie klas verbindings verskeie toepassings.
Van hierdie toepassings sluit in katioon ekstraksie, ioonuitruiling nabootsing, molekulêre
aanskakelaars en kataliese. Die laasgenoemde punt is nogsteeds in die vroeë stadium van
navorsing. Die werk beoog om die eerste voorbeelde van resorsin[4]areen gebaseerde Nheterosikliese
karbeen (NHK) komplekse met palladium te ontwikkel, gevolg deur die komplekse se potensiaal vir koolstof-koolstof bindingsvorming reaksies te evalueer.
Deur die gebruik van orto-litiëring tegnologie wat ontwikkel is in ons groep is ‘n distaal
gefunksioniseerde resorsin[4]areen di-ester gesintetiseer. Na die reduksie van die ester en
gevolglike bromering van die diol was n distaal bromometielresorsin[4]arene geskep. Reaksies
met hierdie nuwe resorsin[4]areen met ‘n verskeidenheid N-alkielimidasole het ‘n klein versameling van resorsin[4]areen imidasolium NHK voorloper soute gelewer. Aanvanklik was die poging om ‘n bidentate palladium kompleks van hierdie soute te sintetiseer. Die gebruik van

Synthetic Analogues of Dinitrosyl Iron Complexes: Reactivity Studies and Improvements towards Therapeutic Applications.

▼ Dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) are organometallic-like compounds formed endogenously as products of degradation of iron-sulfur clusters by NO or its interaction with the cellular chelatable iron pool. Substantial evidence has accrued on the role of DNICs as endogenous transport and storage agents for the highly reactive NO radical. Such biological significance has led to biomimetic work on such entities in synthetic inorganic chemistry. Recently, such synthetic models have emerged as a new class of potential NO releasing agents. A series of
N-
heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized oxidized and reduced DNICs ({Fe(NO)2}
9 /{Fe(NO)2}
10: Enemark-Feltham notation) appeared promising candidates for further investigations on the reactivity of DNICs and on synthetic improvements for possible therapeutic applications.
Planar NHC ligands mimic ligands such as imidazole, itself a surrogate for histidine. A base-promoted conversion was observed of an
N-alkyl imidazole bearing, neutral {Fe(NO)2}
10 DNIC to the NHC-DNIC, while maintaining the Fe(NO)2 unit intact. Subsequent alkylation led to the isolation of the NHC-DNIC product; signifying the integrity of the Fe(NO)
2 unit and further establishing that NHCs are ‘better’ ligands to Fe(NO)2 than imidazoles.
Making use of an NHC-stabilized DNIC [(NHC)(RS)Fe(NO)2], a RS^−/RS• oxidation process in the presence of added CO was discovered, wherein the oxidized {Fe(NO)2}
9 is reduced to {Fe(NO)2}
10 through carbon monoxide (CO)/RS• ligand substitution. Kinetic studies established a bimolecular rate law and activation parameters suggested an associative mechanism. Computational results indicated a unique role for the delocalized frontier molecular orbitals of the Fe(NO)2 unit, involving an initial side-on approach of CO to the electron-rich
N-Fe-
N site.
Attempts to further test the aforementioned computational proposal employed classical Hammett correlations for the elucidation of structure-activity relationships. Hammett correlations were used to monitor the changes in electron density at the {Fe(NO)2} unit and effects on the rate of reaction with CO of a series of (NHC)(SPhX)Fe(NO)2 derivatives with varying para substituents at the aryl thiolate. In accordance with the computational mechanistic proposal, rate enhancement was observed with increasing electron donating ability of the substituents.
Although DNICs appear to be promising candidates in the context of nitric oxide releasing therapeutics, their lack of biocompatibility has hindered the progress of such applicability. The first examples of ‘sugar appended’ monomeric and dimeric DNICs were synthesized, making use of the tuning sites provided by the NHC-DNIC architecture. Such efforts are among the few examples for the synthesis of bio-functionalized DNICs.

▼ This dissertation focuses on nickel-catalyzed cross-couplings of amine and
alcohol derivatives to set stereogenic centers. Chapter 1 focuses on the cross-coupling
of benzylic ammonium triflates with aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl boronic acids. This
method expands the scope of previous methods from our group, utilizing Ni(cod)2
without any additional phosphine or
N-
heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands. This
reaction allows for cross-coupling of both naphthyl and phenyl substituted
ammonium salts. The mild conditions of this reaction displays excellent functional
group tolerance. ☐ Chapter 2 focuses on the cross-coupling of benzylic ammonium triflates with
bis(pinacolato)diboron to afford secondary benzylic boronates with excellent chirality
transfer, This reaction utilizes Ni(cod)2 as a catalyst with either phosphine or NHC
ligands. The reaction proceeds with mild reaction conditions and excellent functional
group tolerance. It allows for the cross-coupling of both naphthyl and phenyl
substituted ammonium salts. This is the first example of a Miyaura borylation of a
non-allylic electrophile to deliver products in highly enantioenriched form. ☐ Chapter 3 describes the development of the cross-coupling of tertiary benzylic
acetates to form all-carbon quaternary stereocenters. This reaction prioritizes the use
of an air-stable nickel(II) catalyst and environmentally friendly 2-Me-THF. The mild
reaction conditions allow for excellent functional group tolerance. The reaction
provides an efficient route to both di-aryl and tri-aryl quaternary stereocenters in high
stereochemical fidelity. This method shows an expansion in transition metal catalysis
to go beyond electrophiles adjacent to functional groups such as carbonyls and
alkenes, and displays the possibility for tertiary benzylic electrophiles to under go
transition metal catalysis. ☐ Chapter 4 focuses on the cross-coupling of enantioenriched allylic pivalates
with aryl and heteroaryl borxines to form allylic, all-carbon quaternary stereocenters.
This utilizes an air-stable nickel (II) catalyst, and functional group tolerant boroxine
coupling partners to afford these quaternary stereocenters with high stereochemical
fidelity. This reaction provides a powerful way to readily access allylic quaternary
stereocenters with substituted internal alkenes and a variety of functional groups and
heteroatoms in high yield and enantioenrichment

▼ As part of ongoing research into the conversion of biomass into the platform chemical 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), two primary investigations have been performed. The first is an exploration of discrete lanthanide complexes as possible catalysts for the conversion of glucose to HMF. Catalysts of the type Ln(HMDS)3, Ln(MeTMS)3, and Ln(OTf)3 have been examined in ionic liquid (IL) for their performance in the glucose-to-HMF conversion. In this study Sc(OTf)3 has been identified as a good catalyst for both glucose (up to 38% HMF yield) and cellulose (up to 19% HMF yield) conversions. The second investigation was concerned with the effect of
N-
heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) on the biomass conversion system that containing IL solvents. Since NHC's can be readily formed from deprotonation of ILs, there exists in the literature the hypothesis that an NHC-CrClx complex is the true catalyst in these conversion systems. Three sets of experiments are reported herein to test this hypothesis: controls with all additives used by previous investigations purporting an NHC effect, tests of in situ generated and discrete preformed NHC-Cr complexes suggested by the hypothesis, and quantitative NHC titration (poisoning) experiments. The combined evidence shows conclusively that the NHC ligand actually serves as a poison to the chromium catalyst system and that a superstoichiometric amount (2 or 3 equiv) of NHC ligand can completely shut down the catalysis.

▼ The syntheses of a new class of polycyclic TriAmino DiCarbenes (TADCs), based on 3,9-diazajulolidine, and their precursors and adducts are described.
Starting with 2,6-dimethyl-nitrobenzene, 2,6-bis ((alkylamino)methyl)anilines (alkyl = isopropyl, mesityl, and tert-butyl) were synthesized in 40% yield over five steps. These triamines were then di-cyclized stepwise to diformamidinium dications or formamidinium/2-methoxyformaminals using oxonium salts and trialkyl orthoformates. A diformamidinium dication was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. Treatment with various bases, particularly lithium hexamethyldisilylazide, led to the novel TADCs and monocarbenes, two of which were isolated and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies. In both cases, treatment with elemental sulfur trapped the TADCs as dithiobiurets. No TADC-transition metal complexes were successfully isolated from reactions of the diformamidinium dications or LiHMDS TADC complex with a number of transition metal complexes.
With the exception of these two cases, all other TADCs were not isolated because they rapidly reacted to form dimers, trimers, and tetramers. One of these dimers was isolated and its structure determined using 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopies, along with high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. This revealed that the TADC had dimerized to form an ene-triamine, likely via 1,3-shift of a benzylic proton.
Novel
N-
heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) complexes of molybdenum were also synthesized and characterized. Reaction of Cp2Mo2(CO)4 (Cp = C5H5) with dimesityl-imidazol-2-ylidenes (IMes) or dimesityl-imidazolidin-2-ylidenes (SIMes) yielded the molybdoradicals CpMo(CO)2(NHC) (NHC = IMes or SIMes). The carbonyl infrared stretching frequencies and the relative metal-to-NHC π-backbonding for IMes and SIMes complexes are compared. Reaction of the less bulky dimethyl-imidazol-2-ylidene (IMe) with Cp2Mo2(CO)4 yielded the Mo-Mo triple bond complex Cp2Mo2(CO)3(IMe) by CO substitution. This is the first example of an NHC-ligated metal-metal multiply bonded complex. Single crystal X-ray diffractometry of these new organomolybdenum and organodimolybdenum complexes is discussed.

▼ Chapter 1. A Practical Synthesis of 3-Acyl
Cyclobutanones by [2 + 2] Annulation. Mechanism and Utility of the
Zn(II)-Catalyzed Condensation of alpha-Chloroenamines with
Electron-Deficient Alkenes. We have developed a catalytic method
for the synthesis of highly functionalized 3-acyl cyclobutanones
which are useful building blocks for a variety of natural products.
Methods for cyclobutanone synthesis have traditionally been limited
to Lewis-acid promoted rearrangement of oxaspiropentanes or
cyclizations of ketene and syntheses involving keteneiminium salts
have required stoichiometric quantities of a Lewis acid.
Furthermore, the mechanism for these types of cyclizations remains
unknown. This portion of my research focused on an efficient,
catalytic method for the synthesis of 3- acyl cyclobutanones and
providing insight into the mechanism for cycloaddition. Chapter 2.
Enantioselective Synthesis of Boron-Substituted Quaternary Carbons
by NHC-Cu-Catalyzed Boronate Conjugate Additions to Unsaturated
Carboxylic Esters, Ketones, or Thioesters. We have developed an
enantioselective NHC-Cu-catalyzed conjugate addition of boronate
esters to acyclic, trisubstituted alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl
compounds. Enantioselective conjugate addition of a boronic acid
pinacol ester through the use of bis(pinacolato)diboron [B2(pin)2,]
to alpha, beta-unsaturated aliphatic and aryl esters promoted by 5
mol % of an NHC-Cu catalyst afforded tertiary beta-boryl carbonyls
in high efficiency and enantioselectivity. Trisubstituted alpha,
beta-unsaturated esters and thioesters were found to be reactive
substrates in the presence of a stoichiometric quantity of
methanol. Chapter 3. Metal-Free Catalytic C-Si Bond Formation in an
Aqueous Medium and C-B Bond Formation in a Protic Medium.
Enantioselective NHC-Catalyzed Silyl and Boryl Conjugate Additions
to Cyclic and Acyclic alpha, beta-Unsaturated carbonyls. We have
developed a method for enantioselective metal-free silyl conjugate
additions through the use of dimethylphenylsilyl) boronic acid
pinacol ester [PhMe2SiB(pin)] catalyzed by chiral
N-
heterocyclic
carbenes (NHCs) in basic aqueous thf. Optimization of metal-free
conditions demonstrated that the presence of water was required for
high efficiency. alpha, beta-Unsaturated cyclic ketones and
lactones were examined as substrates, and acyclic ketones, esters
and aldehydes were also competent substrates for silyl conjugate
addition. beta-Silyl carbonyls were isolated in up to >98% yield
and >98:2 er. Chapter 4. Elucidation of Mechanism for
Enantioselective NHC-Catalyzed Silyl Conjugate Addition. We propose
a catalytic cycle for NHC-catalyzed enantioselective silyl
conjugate addition. Mechanistic studies of NHC-catalyzed
enantioselective silyl conjugate additions are presented.
Optimization of conditions for an inefficient alpha,
beta-unsaturated electron-deficient ketone provided insight into
the roles for dbu and water. Kinetic data indicate that conjugate
addition is first order in PhMe2SiB(pin) and
carbene, and DFT
calculations support the…

▼ Chapter 1 Catalytic Enantioselective Addition of
Organoaluminum Reagents Catalytic methods involving the
enantioselective addition of both commercially available as well as
in situ generated organoaluminum reagents are reviewed. An overview
of additions to aldehydes, ketones, and imines is provided as well
as the difficulties and limitations of such transformations.
Furthermore, additions to unsaturation adjacent to a leaving group
to form a new stereogenic center are examined. Finally, conjugate
addition reactions wherein an organoaluminum reagent is added to an
olefin adjacent to a carbonyl or nitro group are discussed. Chapter
2 Synthesis of Quaternary Carbon Stereogenic Centers through
Enantioselective Cu-Catalyzed Allylic Substitution with
Alkenylaluminum Reagents A method for the formation of 1,4-diene
containing quaternary stereogenic centers through catalytic
enantioselective allylic substitution is disclosed. The addition of
alkyl- and aryl-substituted alkenylaluminum reagents to
trisubstituted allylic phosphates is promoted by 0.5–2.5 mol % of a
sulfonate-containing bidentate
N-
heterocyclic carbene–copper
complex. Products containing a quaternary stereogenic center as
well as a newly formed terminal olefin are obtained in up to 97%
yield and 99:1 er with high site selectivity (>98:2 SN2’:SN2).
The requisite nucleophiles are generated in situ through
hydroalumination of terminal alkynes. The utility of the method is
demonstrated through a concise synthesis of natural product
bakuchiol. Chapter 3 A Multicomponent Ni-, Zr-, Cu-Catalyzed
Strategy for Enantioselective Synthesis of Alkenyl-Substituted
Quaternary Carbons Despite the widespread use of conjugate addition
in organic synthesis, few reports pertain to the addition of
nucleophiles to acyclic systems and none in which the nucleophile
is an alkene. Herein, we report the first examples of
enantioselective conjugate addition of alkenylmetal reagents to
trisubstituted enones to form all-carbon quaternary stereogenic
centers. Alkenylaluminum nucleophiles are prepared through a
site-selective Ni-catalyzed hydroalumination of terminal alkynes
and the requisite E-trisubsituted enones are the products of a
regioselective Zr-catalyzed carboalumination/acylation of a
terminal alkyne. Products are obtained in up to 97% yield and 99:1
er. A model for enantioselectivity, supported by DFT calculations,
is proposed. Chapter 4 Formation of Tertiary Centers through
Catalytic Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Alkenylaluminum
Reagents to Acyclic Enones We have developed an enantioselective
NHC–Cu catalyzed synthesis of tertiary centers in acyclic systems
using in situ generated alkenylaluminum reagents, as current
methods typically rely on Rh-catalysis at high temperatures with
alkenyl boronic acids in protic solvents. Moreover, most examples
include chalcone-derived substrates, which, while more reactive,
often preclude further functionalization. With the current method,
we are able to couple a variety of alkenyl nucleophiles with
α,β-unsaturated ketones. E- or…

▼ Chapter 1. In this chapter, the ability of chiral
bidentate
N-
heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to activate alkylmetal
reagents directly in order to promote C‒C bond forming
reactions in the absence of a Cu salt is presented. Highly regio-
and enantioselective Cu-free allylic alkylation reactions of di-
and trisubstituted allylic substrates with organomagnesium,
organozinc, and organoaluminum reagents are demonstrated. Chiral
bidentate sulfonate-bearing NHC-Zn and NHC-Al complexes are
isolated and fully characterized. Based on crystal structures of
these catalytic complexes, mechanistic details regarding Cu-free
allylic alkylations with alkylmetal reagents are proposed. Chapter
2. New methods for efficient and highly enantioselective
Cu-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions of a variety of
trisubstituted allylic substrates with alkylmagnesium and alkyl-,
aryl-, 2-furyl-, and 2-thiophenylaluminum reagents are presented.
Transformations are promoted by a chiral NHC complex in the
presence of commercially available, inexpensive and air stable
CuCl2*H2O. Enantiomerically enriched compounds containing
difficult-to-access all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers are
obtained. Chapter 3. New methods for highly site- and
enantioselective Cu-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions of
allylic phosphates with vinylaluminum reagents are presented. The
requisite vinylaluminums are prepared by reaction of readily
accessible terminal alkynes with DIBAL-H and used directly without
further purification. Vinyl additions are promoted in the presence
of a chiral bidentate sulfonate-based NHC complex and a Cu salt.
The desired SN2' products are obtained in >98% E selectivities,
>98% SN2' selectivities, >98% group selectivities (<2%
i-Bu addition) and high enantioselectivities. The enantioselective
total synthesis of the natural product bakuchiol highlights the
versatility of the one-pot hydroalumination/Cu-catalyzed
enantioselective allylic vinylation process. Chapter 4. Efficient
and highly site-selective Cu-catalyzed hydroboration reactions of
1,2-disubstituted aryl olefins with bis(pinacolato)diboron
(B2(pin)2) are presented. Transformations are promoted by an NHC-Cu
complex in the presence of MeOH, affording only secondary
β-boronate isomers. A Cu-catalyzed method for the
synthesis of enantiomerically enriched secondary alkylboronates
promoted by chiral NHC complexes is disclosed. Chapter 5. A new
method for efficient and site-selective tandem Cu-catalyzed
copper-boron additions to terminal alkynes with B2(pin)2 in the
presence of an NHC-Cu complex is demonstrated. In a one-pot
process, Cu-catalyzed hydroboration of alkynes provides
vinylboronates in situ, which undergo a second site-selective
hydroboration to afford vicinal diboronates. Highly
Enantiomerically enriched diboronates obtained through Cu-catalyzed
enantioselective dihydroboration in the presence of chiral
bidentate sulfonate-based NHC-Cu complex are obtained. The control
of site selectivity in the first-stage hydroboration of alkynes is
critical for efficient and…

▼ Chapter 1. A Review of Catalytic Enantioselective
Allylic Substitution (EAS) with Chiral Sulfonate Containing
N-
heterocyclic Carbenes (NHC). A comprehensive review of
enantioselective allylic substitution reactions, which are promoted
by a chiral
N-
heterocyclic carbene metal complex that features a
unique sulfonate motif, is provided in this chapter. Reactions are
classified into two categories. One class of transformations is
catalyzed by a series of easily modifiable sulfonate bearing NHC-Cu
complexes, with which a range of nucleophilic organometallic
reagents (i.e., organozinc-, aluminum-, magnesium- and boron-based)
that carry different carbon-based units are readily utilized in
efficient and highly selective C-C bond forming processes. Another
set of reactions exclude the use of a copper salt; catalytic amount
of a sulfonate containing imidazolinium salt is capable of
promoting additions of alkyl Grignard, zinc and aluminum species to
easily available allylic electrophiles in a site- and
enantioselective fashion. The mechanistic scenarios of both
catalytic systems that account for the observed experimental data
are discussed in detail. Chapter 2. Cu-Catalyzed Enantioselective
Allylic Substitutions with Aryl- and Heteroarylaluminum Reagents.
In this chapter, the first examples of EAS reactions of aryl- and
heteroaryl-substituted dialkylaluminum reagents to a wide range of
trisubstituted allylic phosphates are demonstrated through a facile
and selective catalysis rendered possible by an in situ generated
sulfonate containing NHC-Cu complex, delivering enantiomerically
enriched olefin products that bear an all carbon quaternary
stereogenic center. The requisite organometallic species are easily
prepared from either the corresponding aryl- and heteroaryl
halides, or through efficient and site selective deprotonation at
the C-2 position of furan and thiophene; such aluminum entities are
readily used in situ without the requirement of purification.
Application to small molecule natural product synthesis is also
carried out to illustrate the utility of the present protocol.
Chapter 3. Cu-Catalyzed Enantioselective Allylic Substitutions with
Alkenylaluminum Reagents. This chapter focuses on our research
towards construction of enantioenriched tertiary and quaternary
stereogenic centers that are substituted with two further
functionalizable alkenes. The first combination of the study
involves the addition of stereochemically well-defined
trisubstituted alkenylaluminum reagents to disubstituted allylic
phosphates; the transformation commences with a silyl-directed
stereoselective hydroalumination and finishes with an
enantioselective Cu-catalyzed EAS promoted by a sulfonate bearing
NHC. Such reactions deliver molecules that feature silicon
containing trisubstituted olefin adjacent to the tertiary
stereogenic center; subsequent conversion of the versatile silicon
group to a proton reveals the first set of examples that
incorporate pure Z alkene in Cu-catalyzed EAS. The stereoselective
and concise synthesis of naturally…

▼ Chapter one is an introduction, outlining the structure and bonding of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). It then goes on to give examples of f -metal NHC complexes and describes any reactivity or catalytic activity. Chapter two describes the synthesis of the transition metal NHC complexes [Fe (LMes)2] 3 and [Co(LMes)2] 4 (LMes = OCMe2 CH2(1-C{NCH2CH2NMes})). The heterobimetallic complexes [(LMes)Fe(μ-LMes)U(μ-{N(SiMe3)Si(Me)2CH2})(N(Si Me3)2)2] 5 and [(LMes)Co(μ-LMes)U(μ-{N(SiMe3)Si(Me)2CH2})(N(SiMe3)2)2] 6 were prepared from the reaction between [({Me3Si}2N)2U(NSiMe3SiMe2CH2)] and 3 or 4, respectively. Complex 5 was also synthesised by the reaction between 3 and [U(N{SiMe3}2)2]. The diamagnetic analogue [(LMes)Zn(μ-LMes)Th(μ-{N(SiMe3)Si (Me)2CH2})(N(SiMe3)2)2] 9 was prepared from the reaction between [Zn(LMes)2] and [({SiMe3}2N)2Th(NSiMe3SiMe2CH2)]. The reactivity of 5 is discussed. When 5 was reacted with 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide, [({SiMe3}2N)2U{N(SiMe3)Si(Me2)C(CH2)N(2,6−Me−C6H3)}] 8 was isolated. The reaction with CO resulted in the formation of [({Me3Si}2N)2U{N(SiMe3) Si(Me2)C(CH2)CO}]. 5 showed no reactivity with azides, boranes or m-chloroperbenzoic acid and decomposed when exposed to H2, CO2 or KC8. The reaction between 6 and 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol formed the previously reported monometallic complex [({SiMe3}2N)2U(OC6H3tBu2)]. The serendipitous synthesis of the iron ate complex [Na(Fe{LMes}2)2]+ [Fe(ArO)3]– 10 (Ar = 2,6-tBu-C6H3) is also described. Chapter three describes the synthesis of the aryloxide complexes [HC(3-tBu-5-Me- C6H2OH)(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)μ-(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)Co(THF)]2 11 and [HC(3- tBu-5-Me-C6H2OH)(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)μ-(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)Zn(THF)n] 13. Treatment of 11 with pyridine N-oxide resulted in the formation of the pyridine-Noxide adduct [HC(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2OH)(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)μ-(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2 O)Co(C5H5NO)]2 12. When 11 was treated with [({Me3Si}2N)2U(NSiMe3SiMe2C H2)], no reaction occured at room temperature but at 80◦C decomposition occured. When 11 was treated with [(NH4)2Ce(NO3)6] the protonated proligand HC(3-tBu- 5-Me-C6H2OH)3 reformed. The reactivity of 11 with [({Me3Si}2N)Ce(LiPr)2] is also discussed. Chapter three also discusses the preparation of the heterobimetallic complex [HC(3- tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)2-μ-(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)KCo]2 14 and the salt-elimination chemistry of the complex. The preparation of [HC(3-tBu-5-Me-C6H2O)2-μ-(3-tBu-5- Me-C6H2O)KZn]2 15 is also outlined. Chapter four discusses the reactivity of [Ce(LiPr)3] (Li Pr =OCMe2CH2(1-C{NCHC HNiPr})) in C-H and N-H activation and as a catalyst for organic reactions. [Ce(LiPr)3] displayed no C-H activation chemistry with RC−−−CH (R = SiMe3, Ph, tBu), diphenyl acetone, indene or fluorene. [Ce(LiPr)3] also showed no N-H activation chemistry with pyrrole or indole, nor did it react with the lignin model compound PhOCH2Ph. When treated with an excess of benzyl chloride, [Ce(LiPr)3] underwent ligand decomposition to form the acylazolium chloride [(C6H5C(O))OCMe2CH2(1-C(C6H5C (O)){NCHCHNiPr})]Cl 18 and CeCl3. When [Ce(LiPr)3] was…

▼ The previously reported amine elimination methodology for the metalation of CCC-NHC pincer ligand precursors has been extended to other early-transition metals and ligands. Specifically, synthetic results for the preparation of imidazole based CCC-NHC pincer Ti (IV), CCC-NHC pincer Ta (V) will be discussed. In addition, the synthesis of a new triazole based CCC-NHC pincer ligand precursor and its metalation with Ta (V) will be presented. Coordination sphere manipulation of the new pincer complexes using TMSCl for the Ti complex and lithium t-butylamide for the Ta complexes is also discussed. The reaction of the initial Ta CCC-NHC complex with lithium t-butylamide is of particular interest as it is the first X-ray crystallographically determined molecular structure of an early-transtion metal anionic
N-
heterocyclic carbine complex. Catalytic results in hydroamination/cyclization with the Ti complexes and oxidative amination using the Ta complexes will also be reported.

▼ In this thesis, the synthetic protocol for a new class of enantiopure, primary-amine tethered N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands is described. The synthesis, coordination chemistry, and applications in catalysis for three ligands from this class with general formula (S,S)/(R,R)-H2N-CHPh-CHPh-NHC (NHC = -NCHCHN(C)R, R = Me, tBu, or Mes) are reported. The imidazolium salt of these ligands can be prepared in high yield and purity from the SN1 reaction between chiral sulfamidates and the corresponding N-substituted imidazoles.
The method of coordination of the NHC ligands to metals depends on the acidity of the C-H functional in the imidazolium salts. Silver and copper compounds can be prepared in high yield with the ligand to the metal ratio of 2:1 or 1:1. Ruthenium, iridium, and rhodium complexes can also be prepared via transmetallation from the silver or copper reagents, intramolecular base deprotonation, or C-H oxidative addition.
Four ruthenium complexes and two iridium complexes based on these ligands were proven active for ketone hydrogenation, under relatively mild condition (50℃, 25 bar H2(g)). Three half-sandwich ruthenium compounds containing Cp (cyclopentadienyl) or Cp* (1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) are highly active aryl and alkyl hydrogenation catalysts with TOF (turnover frequency) up to 67 s-1, TON (turnover number) up to 104, and ee (enantiomeric excess) up to 86%.
An experimental and computational study of the half-sandwich ruthenium systems suggests that the heterolytic splitting of dihydrogen over the metal-amido bond and hydride transfer from the catalyst to the substrate can both be rate-determining. An alcohol-assisted mechanism was also calculated to explain the rate enhancement when the catalysis was conducted in polar, protic solvents such as 2-PrOH. A full experimental and computational study was also performed for a Fe(P-NH-P’) system. Similarly, heterolytic splitting and hydride transfer are the two most energy demanding transition states. In addition, the enantiodetermining step (EDS) of this asymmetric ketone hydrogenation catalyst was calculated, and the origins of enantioselectivity were summarized as steric repulsion, the high compressibility of the backbone, and H-bond contributed stabilization.

▼ Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2015.
Commercially available (N-heterocyclic carbene)-Pd ((NHC)-Pd) pre-catalysts were used for the anaerobic oxidation of secondary alcohols employing chloroarenes as the oxidizing agent. The precatalyst (SIPr)Pd(cinnamyl)Cl (SIPr = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-ylidene) gave the best results showing drastic reductions in the reaction time and catalyst loading when compared to the counterpart bearing the analog unsaturated ligand. The catalytic system is compatible with the use of microwave dielectric heating, utilizing (IMes)Pd(allyl)Cl (IMes = 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene) as the pre-catalyst, where catalyst loading and reaction times can be decreased even further. Secondly, the use of microwave heating for the synthesis of a series of (NHC)Ni(Cp)Cl (Cp = Cyclopentadiene) complexes is presented. This protocol allows for a decrease in reaction time required using conventional heating, while affording comparable or better yields of the complexes bearing NHC ligands. Their application as pre-catalysts in the microwave-assisted anaerobic oxidation of secondary alcohols is also described. In addition, microwave heating is applied for the synthesis of NHC-bearing complexes of CuCl, AgCl, and AuCl. The use of microwave conditions allows for a reduction of the reaction times when compared to conventional heating, while still providing suitable yields of the desired (NHC)-metal-chloride complexes.
Lastly, the synthesis of antimony ligands and their iridium(III) complexes is described. Two variations of bis-stibine ligands were prepared from either resorcinol or m-xylene and trichlorostibine. While the resorcinol variation, SbOCOSbtBu = 1,3-bis((ditert-butylstibino)-oxy)benzene, reacted with [Ir(COE)2Cl]2 to form a hydrido chloride complex, the resulting complex was coordinatively saturated with three stibine ligands. The bis-stibine ligand with the carbon backbone, SbCSbtBu = 1,3-bis((ditertbutylstibino)methyl)benzene, did not generated any hydrido chloride Ir(III) complex when reacted with [Ir(COE)2Cl]2; however, unidentified insoluble orange solids formed. The SbCSbtBu ligand coordinated with [Cp*IrCl2]2 to afford the piano stool dimer [(Cp*IrCl2)2-μ-SbCSbtBu]. No activity was observed for the hydrido chloride complex bearing the antimony pincer ligand when tested in the transfer dehydrogenation of cyclooctane employing tert-butyl ethene as the acceptor molecule.

▼ Aziridines are the nitrogen analogue of epoxides, and like epoxides, this functional group is an intermediate in numerous syntheses. Additionally, they are found in several natural products with anticancer activity. Despite their chemical applications, aziridine synthesis faces two big challenges: functional group tolerance is limited and a large excess of one reagent is often needed. This research is focused on ameliorating these two limitations.Previous research demonstrated that square planar, strong donor metal complexes, such as porphyrin or macrocyclic tetracarbene complexes were capable of catalyzing aziridination. In our efforts to develop an ideal catalyst for aziridination, we chose to screen a series of transition metals with our tetracarbene ligand to determine which would be most effective for aziridination.A cobalt(II) tetracarbene complex was synthesized by transmetallation and tested for C2 + N1 catalytic aziridination. The complex was unable to catalyze aziridination; furthermore, it showed no reactivity towards organic azides. The oxidative chemistry of the cobalt complex was explored, and a series of cobalt(III) tetracarbene complexes were synthesized. These complexes proved ineffective at aziridination and were unsuitable for further oxidation to a cobalt(IV) complex.A chromium(III) tetracarbene dichloride complex was tested as an aziridination catalyst. The complex proved capable of performing catalytic aziridination at low alkene substrate loadings and performed aziridination with alkenes and azides containing protic functional groups, such as alcohols. The axial chloride ligand on the chromium was proposed as the key to successful catalysis. This complex represents the first ever C2 + N1 aziridination catalyst on a group 6 metal.Following our hypothesis of the penta-coordinated catalyst, an iron(II) pentacarbene complex was synthesized and characterized for aziridination catalysis. While the complex proved an effective catalyst for aziridination at low alkene loadings, the synthesis of the iron complex proved irreproducible.A series of azidoalkenes compounds were synthesized to study the organic chemistry of ring closing intramolecular aziridination. The aziridination reactions had high conversion of the starting materials. However, the reactions proved to be non-catalytic as the control and catalytic yields were identical.

▼ This work presents synthetic investigations into main group organometallic chemistry, placing particular emphasis on the study of bis N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) carbazolide coordination environments. Complexes of high and low oxidation state metals from the s- and p-blocks were targeted and these comprise the content of the experimental chapters two through five.Chapter one serves as a general introduction to rationalise the intent of this work. Herein, focus is drawn to the nascent field of organometallic main group chemistry in the form of a discussion of its history using pertinent recent examples from the literature.Chapter two details the synthesis of an emerging class of versatile bis(NHC)carbazolide pincer ligands; bimcaR, and their complexation to s-block metals. The development of a new zwitterionic bis(imidazolium)carbazolide proligand is discussed, as well as the structural metrics of new lithium and magnesium bimcaR derivatives. Specifically, a new iodomagnesium complex is probed for its synthetic utility as a ligand transfer agent and catalytic precursor in conjunction with attempts to access a reduced Mg(I) derivative.Chapter three focuses on the stabilising effect of the flanking bis(NHC) moieties of bimcaR on high valent group 13 metals and thusly presents a series of exceptionally stable bimcaR supported diiodides from aluminium to thallium. The indium and thallium diiodides are subjected to iodide-hydride exchange reactions to assess the stability of the resulting dihydrides, whilst efforts are also made to access low valent heavy group 13 congeners.Chapter four concentrates on the extension of this methodology to accessing heavy low valent group 14 complexes with the aim of creating highly activated metal centres to harness main group redox chemistry. To this end, a number of attempts are made to access low valent tin and lead halides with a view toward accessing the corresponding, highly reactive metallohydrides. Chapter five presents an alternative approach to accessing such reactive group 14 species with the bulky triazenide ligand class, and thereby details the synthesis and steric characterisation of a new superbulky, unsymmetrical N-2,6-terphenyl triazenide ligand.

▼ The efforts described in this thesis were bifurcated along two distinct projects, but generally were directed toward the development of new materials to solve outstanding issues in contemporary electrochemical applications. The first project involved the synthesis and application of redox-switchable olefin metathesis catalysts.
N-
heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) bearing ferrocene and other redox-active groups were designed, synthesized, and incorporated into model iridium complexes to evaluate their intrinsic electrochemical and steric parameters. Using these complexes, the ability to switch the electron donating ability of the ligands via redox processes was quantified using a variety of electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. The donicity was either enhanced or attenutated upon reduction or oxidation of the redox-active group, respectively. The magnitude of the change in donicity upon reduction or oxidation did not vary significantly as a function of the proximity of the redox-active group from the metal center. Thus, other factors, including synthetic considerations, sterics, and redox potential requirements, were determined to guide ligand design. Regardless, redox-active NHCs were adapted into ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts and used to gain control control over various ring-opening metathesis polymerizations and ring-closing metathesis reactions. The second project was focused on the development of new basic polymers for acid/base crosslinked proton exchange membranes intended for applications in direct methanol fuel cells. Polymers containing pendant pyridinyl and pyrimidinyl groups were obtained via the post polymerization functionalization of UDEL® poly(sulfone) and then blended with sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK). Fuel cells containing these blends were found to exhibit reduced methanol crossover, higher open circuit voltages, and higher maximum power densities compared to plain SPEEK. The differences in fuel cell performance were attributed to the basicity and sterics of the pendant
N-heterocycles.

▼ The work presented in this thesis describes the synthesis and stability of a range of hydrido and low oxidation state complexes of the group 13 elements. The underlying theme is the stabilisation of these species. The work upon this
subject is divided into eight chapters. Chapter One provides a general introduction to the members of group 13, with particular emphasis on the development of group 13 metal trihydrides and low oxidation group 13 metals. The reasons behind the inherent instability of these species are discussed, and is the development of stabilising ligands.Chapter Two discusses the variability in the stereoelectronic character of stabilising ligands and describes the development of a number of probes to quantify the stereoelectronic character of monoanionic bidentate
N,Nʹ-ligands. This Chapter also describes the syntheses of a new super bulky 1,3 bis(2,6 terphenyl)triazene and two C 2,6-terphenyl substituted amidines.Chapter Three introduces the alkali metal chemistry of monoanionic bidentate
N,Nʹ ligands. Alkali metal complexes of the aforementioned super bulky ligands (Chapter Two) have been prepared.Chapter Four introduces the +1 oxidation state chemistry of the group 13 metals. The stabilisation of +1 oxidation state group 13 species with triazenide ligands was found to be dependent on the steric character of the ligand employed.Chapter Five introduces the coordination chemistry of trivalent group 13 complexes. The syntheses and crystallographic characterisations of dihalo- and dimethyl group 13 complexes featuring a super bulky triazenide are presented.Chapter Six describes the kinetic stabilisation of group 13 heavy hydrides with monoanionic bidentate
N,Nʹ-ligands. The impact of the ligand’s steric character on the thermal stabilities of these complexes is discussed.Chapter Seven introduces the known hydride chemistry of indium and describes the synthesis of a number of NHC adducts of indane (InH3). The decomposition pathways and reactivities of these species were studied.Chapter Eight introduces the stabilisation of low oxidation state main group species by NHCs. A series of dimeric metal dihalide NHC complexes of the form [{MX2(NHC)}2] (M = Ga, In) have been prepared and characterised. Novel bis(NHC) complexes of thallium(I) were also characterised.

▼ Les réactions de couplage métallocatalysées mises en avant par l'attribution du Prix Nobel de Chimie 2010 permettent la création de liaison C-C impossible par les réactions de type SN1 ou SN2. Or, les composés auxquels elles donnent accès sont très utilisés dans le domaine pharmaceutique, agrochimique ou encore dans celui de la chimie supramoléculaire. Si les réactions sont efficaces, les agents de couplages sont souvent peu accessibles et/ou peu éco(nomique/logique)-compatibles. Les triarylbismuthines lèvent en partie ces limitations, car tous les atomes de ces organométalliques participent aux processus et ces composés sont considérés comme non toxiques mais les réactions engageant ce type d'organométalliques souffrent de leur dimérisation. Afin de lever cette limitation, nous avons développé un système catalytique plus " vert" utilisant le PEPPSI comme pré-catalyseur sur une réaction test. Ces nouvelles conditions donnent généralement d'excellents rendements en série biarylique comme hétérobiarylique. La gamme des substituants sur le dérivé halogéné est très étendue mais plus limitée sur la bismuthine. Ce système catalytique a ensuite été utilisé sans modification dans les réactions domino d'élimination/couplage. Une étude cinétique comparative par GC/MS et RMN 13C a permis de montrer qu'une élimination d'ordre 2 avait lieu avant le couplage. De plus il y a un effet coopératif entre les ions fluorures et la bismuthine : celle-ci joue donc un double rôle : agent organométallique doux de couplage et base. L'ambiguïté mécanistique ainsi levée, il a été permis d'envisager une chimiosélectivité en fonction des divers états d'hybridation du carbone portant le brome au moment du couplage. Plusieurs méthodes d'accès à des molécules de structures Ar-Ar-C C-Ar à géométries variables peuvent être obtenues rapidement. Le système catalytique a également permet l'activation de liaison C-Br de bromocoumarines. Ainsi, il est possible de réaliser le couplage sur les positions 3-, 4- et 6-. L'ordre de réactivité a été déterminé ce qui a permis de réaliser des monocouplages parfaitement sélectifs sur les 3,4- ou 3,6- dibromocoumarines, dont les applications biologiques suscitent un grand intérêt. Le nouveau système catalytique a donc éliminé le problème de dimérisation des triarylbismuthines et donne potentiellement accès à des molécules intéressantes pour leurs propriétés physiques ou biologiques
Metallocatalysed crosscoupling reactions have been highlighted by the attribution of the 2010 Nobel Chemistry Price since they allow CC bond formation when classical SN1 or SN2 do not permit it. Furthermore, they give access to many pharmaceutics and agronomic compounds but also molecules used for their supramolecular properties. Nowadays, reactions are really efficient but reactants are not always readily accessible and can't be classified as green reagents. Since all its atoms act over the catalytic process and because they are not considered as toxic so far, triarylbismuthines may be a good alternative to circumvent the limitation…

▼ Les nanomatériaux ont beaucoup captivé l'attention pour leur propriétés uniques, fortement associées à leurs dimensions nanoscopiques. En particulier, les nanoparticules (NP) à base de métaux nobles (Au, Ag) présentent des propriétés mécaniques, électroniques, optiques et magnétiques particulières intéressantes pour le développement d'applications dans de nombreux domaines à fort impact sociétal. En raison de leur stabilité élevée par rapport aux autres nano- particules métalliques, les nanoparticules d'or ont été abondamment explorées pour les nanotechnologies. Ces dernières décennies, les NHC ont émergé en tant que classe essentielle de ligands neutres en chimie organométallique. Les NHC sont caractérisés par leur flexibilité synthétique élevée, leur géométrie spécifique, et une liaison métal–Ccarbène très forte dans les complexes métalliques. Toutes ces propriétés ont été largement étudiées et exploitées pour les applications en catalyse homogène et pour le développement de complexes biologiquement actifs. Par comparaison, l'utilisation des NHC dans les matériaux reste largement peu explorée. Dans ce travail, le potentiel de ligands NHC dans le domaine des nanomatériaux, comme des agents de revêtement pour le produit nanocristaux de synthèse de l'or (et l'argent), la produit de stabilisation et de l'auto-assemblage dans supracrystals ont été explorés. Tout d'abord, des complexes d'argent et d'or-NHC qui sont bien définies avec différents ligands qui sont connus comme le NHC, sont étudiés pour leur pertinence afin de générer des astable nanocristaux (NCs) dans des conditions réductrices avec un bon contrôle de la taille des nanocristaux. Nous démontrons que le Au et le Ag NCs peuvent tous être formés par la réduction des complexes métal-NHC avec les amine-boranes. L'efficacité du procédé, la taille moyenne et la taille de la répartition des nanocristaux dépendent fortement de la structure du ligand NHC. Cependant, nous démontrons dans cette partie que les différentes voies sont impliqués à générer des nanocristaux par Au ou Ag précurseurs, comme une spécifique réaction observée entre Ag-NHC et thiols conduisant à la formation de thiolates argent alors que le Au-NHC correspondant reste inchangé...
Nanomaterials have received extraordinary attention owing to their unique properties, strongly associated to their nanoscale dimensions. In particular, noble metal (Au, Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit particular mechanical, electronic, optical and magnetic properties and present a high potential for developing applications in many domains with important societal impacts. Due to their higher stability by comparison with other metal-based nanoparticles, Au NPs have been extensively investigated for research in nanotechnology. In the last decades, N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have emerged as an essential class of neutral ligands in organometallic chemistry. NHCs are characterized by their high synthetic flexibility, their specific geometry, and a very strong metalCcarbene bond in metal complexes. All these properties…

▼ Des complexes de Cyclodextrine (CD)-NHC-Métaux (NHC= Carbènes N-Hétérocycliques), comprenant des métaux tel que AgI, CuI et AuI ont été synthétisés. Une étude structurale a mis en évidence la position intra-cavitaire du métal, induisant des interactions C-H…M, C-H…X et π…X. L’influence du type de cavité (α-, β-, γ-CD) et du type de dérivés NHC (Imidazole, benzimidazole, triazole) a été étudiée. Les interactions diminuent avec l’augmentation de la taille de la cavité et en parallèle, celles-ci ont été amplifiées avec des dérivés NHC possédant un effet donneur plus fort. Les complexes de cuivre correspondants montrent une bonne réactivité pour la réaction d’hydroboration des alcynes. Il a de plus été observé que la sélectivité est dépendante de la taille de la cavité. En effet, alors que le complexe α-CD-Cu donne le produit linéaire, le complexe β-CD-Cu oriente vers la formation de l’isomère branché. Les espèces CD-Cu potentiellement impliquées dans le cycle catalytique ont été étudiées. Deux mécanismes différents sont ainsi proposés. Dans la réaction catalysée par le complexe α-CD-Cu, le processus catalytique a lieu en dehors de la cavité; tandis que lorsque la cavité est plus grande (β-CD) la catalyse a lieu à l’intérieur de la celle-ci. Par ailleurs, les complexes ont également montré une différente énantiosélectivité et régiosélectivité dans une réaction de cycloisomerization catalysée par des comlexes dor, en fonction de la taille de la cavité de ces catalyseurs. Les résultats catalytiques ont prouvé que les complexes CD-NHC-Métaux fonctionnent comme des catalyseurs pour lesquels la taille de la cavité influe sur la séléctivité.
Cyclodextrin (CD)-NHC-Metal complexes (NHC=N-Heterocyclic Carbene), including the AgI, CuI and AuI complexes were synthesized. A structural study showed that the metal was inside the cavity, and induced by C-H…M, C-H…X and π…X interactions. Variations on α-, β-, γ-CD cavities and NHC derivatives (midazole, benzimidazole, triazole) were studied. When the size of the cavity increased, these interactions decreased. Furthermore, stronger σ-donating effects lead to stronger interactions. CD-Cu complexes showed good activity in catalytic hydroboration of alkynes. The selectivity is depending on the size of the cavity of the catalyst. α-CD copper complex gives linear hydroboration products, while β-CD copper complex yields the branched isomers. The CD-Cu species potentially involved in the catalytic cycle were studied, two different mechanisms were thus proposed. In the α-CD-Cu complex catalyzed reactions, the catalytic process takes place outside the cavity; while a bigger cavity β-CD permits the catalysis to take place inside the cavity. Furthermore, the gold complexes also show different enantioselectivity and regioselectivity in cycloisomerization using different cavity-based catalysts. Catalytic results evidenced the selectivity of a catalytic reaction is dependent on the cavity of the CD-NHC-metal complexes.
