Thiols were found to cleave Au–C bonds in (C^N^C)gold(iii) pincer complexes and to induce C–S reductive elimination reactions, to give aryl thioethers.

In the current manuscript, we describe the reactivity of a series of iridium(III) pincer complexes with the general formulae [(PEP)IrCl(CO)(H)]n (n = +1, +2) towards base, where PEP is a pincer-type ligand with different central donor groups, and E is the ligating atom of this group (E = B, C, N). The donor groups encompass a secondary amine, a phosphine-stabilised borylene and a protonated carbodiphosphorane. As all ligating atoms E exhibit an E–H bond, we addressed the question of wether the coordinated donor group can be deprotonated in competition to the reductive elimination of HCl from the iridium(III) centre. Based on experimental and quantum chemical investigations, it is shown that the ability for deprotonation of the coordinated ligand decreases in the order of (R3P)2CH+ > R2NH > (R3P)2BH. The initial product of the reductive elimination of HCl from [(PBP)IrCl(CO)(H)]n (1c), the square planar iridium(I) complex, [(PBP)Ir(CO)]+ (3c), was found to be unstable and further reacts to [(PBP)Ir(CO)2]+ (5c). Comparing the C–O stretching vibrations of the latter with those of related complexes, it is demonstrated that neutral ligands based on tricoordinate boron are very strong donors.

<p>The masked Ti(II) synthon (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(<i>η</i><sup>6</sup>-Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti (<b>1</b>) oxidatively adds across thiophene to give ring-opened (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti[<i>κ</i><sup>2</sup>-<i>S</i>(CH)<sub>3</sub><i>C</i>H] (<b>2</b>). Complex <b>2</b> is photosensitive, and upon exposure to light, reductively eliminates thiophene to regenerate <b>1</b> – a rare example of early-metal mediated oxidative-addition/reductive-elimination chemistry. DFT calculations indicate strong titanium π-backdonation to the thiophene π*-orbitals leads to the observed thiophene ring opening across titanium, while a proposed photoinduced LMCT promotes the reverse thiophene elimination from <b>2</b>. Finally, pressurizing solutions of <b>2 </b>with H<sub>2</sub> (150 psi) at 80 °C leads to the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene to give the Ti(IV) sulfide (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti(S) (<b>3</b>) and butane. </p>

<p>Herein we report a sulfur (IV) mediated cross-coupling for facile synthesis of heteroaromatic substrates. Addition of heteroaryl nucleophiles onto a simple, readily-accessible alkyl sulfinyl (IV) chloride allows formation of a trigonal bipyramidal sulfurane intermediate. Reductive elimination therefrom provides bis-heteroaryl products in a practical and efficient fashion. <br></p>

Chemical treatment of CoX<sub>2</sub><b><sup>. </sup></b>6H<sub>2</sub>O (X = Cl, Br, I) with the potentially tridentate PNP pincer ligand 2,6-bis(di-<i>tert</i>-butylphosphinomethyl)pyridine in 1:1 molar ratio results in cobalt(II) halide-PNP pincer complexes. The effect of the hydrated metal source on molecular structure and geometry of the complexes was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complexes are neutral and the cobalt center adopts a penta-coordinate system with potential atropisomerization. Within the unit cell there are two distinct molecules per asymmetric unit. One of the two phosphorus atoms in the PNP ligand was observed to be partially oxidized to phosphinoxide. Disorder in the structure reflects a mixture of square pyramidal and distorted tetrahedral geometry.

<div>While carbon-heteroatom cross coupling reactions have been extensively studied, many methods are specific and</div><div>limited to a set of substrates or functional groups. Reported here is a method that allows for C-O, C-N and C-S cross coupling reactions under one general methodology. We propose that an energy transfer pathway, in which an iridium photosensitizer produces an excited nickel (II) complex, is responsible for the key reductive elimination step that couples aryl halides to 1° and 2° alcohols, anilines, thiophenols, carbamates and sulfonamides.</div>

The influence of mechanical force on the rates of model reductive elimination reactions depends on the structure of the force-transducing ligand and provides a measure of geometry changes upon reaching the transition state.
