Abstract
The zinc formate compound (bipy)Zn(O2CH)2 is obtained via the reaction of Zn(O2CH)2 with 2,2’-bipyridine (bipy). In addition, (bipy)Zn(O2CH)2 may be formed from zinc hydride via addition of bipy followed by addition of (i) HCO2H and (ii) CO2. The molecular structure of (bipy)Zn(O2CH)2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction, thereby demonstrating that it exists as a monomeric species with a distorted tetrahedral zinc center and κ1-monodentate formate ligands. As such, the coordination environment of the zinc provides a contrast to the octahedral sites in the isomeric 4,4’-bipyridine counterpart, (bipy4,4’)Zn(O2CH)2, and the aqua derivative, (bipy)Zn(O2CH)2(OH2)·H2O, both of which feature bridging formate ligands. Analysis of the bonding within the formate ligand indicates that the zinc–formate moiety is not best represented by a Zn–O–C(=O)H resonance structure, but instead possesses a significant ionic component that reduces the C=O bond order and increases the C–O bond order. The formate compound (bipy)Zn(O2CH)2 participates in hydrosilylation transformations involving CO2 and carbonyl compounds, including (i) the reaction of CO2 with (MeO)3SiH to afford HCO2Si(OMe)3 and (ii) insertion of Ph2CO, PhC(O)Me, Me2CO and PhCHO into the Si–H bonds of PhSiH3 to afford PhSi[OCH(R)R’]3via PhSiH2[OCH(R)R’] and PhSiH[OCH(R)R’]2.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
