Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups

Group,
I keep coming across this series of books, and I thought everyone else might find it useful (although maybe not new).
I think it is targeting organic chemist, but what are functional groups if not ligands for us inorganic chemists.

Phosphorus as a Lewis Acid: CO2 Sequestration with Amidophosphoranes

Phosphorus as a Lewis Acid: CO2 Sequestration with Amidophosphoranes:

CO₂snapper: Compounds containing both acidic and basic P,N functionalities have been prepared. Of these, two amidophosphoranes containing highly reactive PN bonds within four-membered rings react rapidly with CO₂, resulting in relief of ring strain. These compounds demonstrate the utility of phosphorus as a Lewis acid for small-molecule activation.

Synthesis and Stereoselective Interconversion of Chiral 1-Aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptanes

Synthesis and Stereoselective Interconversion of Chiral 1-Aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptanes:

1-Aza-3,6-diphosphacycloheptanes with chiral substituents on the nitrogen atoms were synthesized with the prevailing formation of meso stereoisomers (P_RP_S), which can form P,P-chelate platinum(II) complexes. In solution, the selective stereoconversion of the pure meso isomers into a mixture of P_RP_RC_S(R) and P_SP_SC_S(R) isomers was observed. Kinetic and DFT studies of this process were performed.

Interesting P2N ligands.

Bifunctional Rhenium Complexes for the Catalytic Transfer-Hydrogenation Reactions of Ketones and Imines

Bifunctional Rhenium Complexes for the Catalytic Transfer-Hydrogenation Reactions of Ketones and Imines:

Abstract

The silyloxycyclopentadienyl hydride complexes [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄OSiMe₂tBu)] (R=iPr (3 a), Cy (3 b)) were obtained by the reaction of [Re(H)(Br)(NO)(PR₃)₂] (R=iPr, Cy) with Li[C₅H₄OSiMe₂tBu]. The ligand–metal bifunctional rhenium catalysts [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄OH)] (R=iPr (5 a), Cy (5 b)) were prepared from compounds 3 a and 3 b by silyl deprotection with TBAF and subsequent acidification of the intermediate salts [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄O)][NBu₄] (R=iPr (4 a), Cy (4 b)) with NH₄Br. In nonpolar solvents, compounds 5 a and 5 b formed an equilibrium with the isomerized trans-dihydride cyclopentadienone species [Re(H)₂(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄O)] (6 a,b). Deuterium-labeling studies of compounds 5 a and 5 b with D₂ and D₂O showed H/D exchange at the H_Re and H_O positions. Compounds 5 a and 5 b were active catalysts in the transfer hydrogenation reactions of ketones and imines with 2-propanol as both the solvent and H₂ source. The mechanism of the transfer hydrogenation and isomerization reactions was supported by DFT calculations, which suggested a secondary-coordination-sphere mechanism for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones.

The Re-al deal: Bifunctional rhenium complexes [Re(H)(NO)(PR₃)(C₅H₄OH)] (R=Cy, iPr) of Shvo-type were prepared and used as catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines. TOFs up to 1164 h⁻¹ were obtained for ketones and up to 79 h⁻¹ for imines. DFT calculations suggested a secondary-coordination-sphere mechanism for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones.

Increasing the efficiency and speed of the water-oxidation reaction is crucial to realizing light-driven water splitting. Now, a mononuclear ruthenium complex achieves fast water-oxidation catalysis with a high reaction rate of more than 300 turnovers per second, comparable to the activity of the oxygen-evolving complex in Photosystem II.
