The addition of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) and isoelectronic isocyanide and isocyanates to the nickel carbene bond in PC<sub>carbene</sub>P pincer complexes is reported. For CO and CNR, irreversible group transfer reactions are observed, while for CO<sub>2</sub>, a reversible 2+2 addition to the carbene moiety occurs. The course of the CO and CO<sub>2</sub> reactions are strongly affected by the nature of the PC<sub>carbene</sub>P pincer ligand framework and a new more rigid ligand based on a 10,10-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroanthracene core was designed in order to study these reactions, illustrating the profound effect of small changes in ligand structure on reaction outcomes.

A semiquantitative kinetic study correlates the rate of oxygen atom transfer from N<sub>2</sub>O to an iridium carbon double bond with the donor properties of six PC<sub>carbene</sub>P pincer ligand frameworks. Two new rigid, electron rich ligands are described and shown to be the most effective for rapid, selective reaction with N<sub>2</sub>O.<br>

Silicon–hydrogen bonds are shown to add to a nickel carbon double bond to yield nickel α-silylalkyl hydrido complexes.


The oxidation of iso butene catalyzed by hydrogen bromide in a static system between 100 and 200 °C has been investigated. In a boric oxide coated vessel below about 170 °C the pressure decreased continually during the reaction, the rate accelerating rapidly to a maximum and then falling gradually and the main products being BrCH 2 .C(CH 3 ) 2 .OOH and a diperoxide. The reaction ceased after only a small proportion of the olefin was oxidized owing to the HBr being used up. At 145 °C ρ max. ∝ [C 4 H 8 ] 0.35 [O 2 ] 0.5 [HBr] 1.76 . Added inert gas or packing the vessel had little effect on the rate, but the reaction was accelerated by added bromine, t .-butyl hydroperoxide and di- t .-butylperoxide and retarded by added alcohols. At 195 °C the pressure decreased to a minimum and then rose, most of the iso butene being now oxidized and other products, CH 2 =C(CH 3 )CH 2 OOH, methacrolein, acetone, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water being formed in appreciable yields. It is suggested that autocatalysis is due to the reaction of a small proportion of the hydroperoxides produced with HBr to give radicals, and that the main chain carriers are bromine atoms and peroxy radicals, the former either adding to the double bond of the olefin or at the higher temperatures abstracting hydrogen from a methyl group and the latter abstracting hydrogen from HBr to give the hydroperoxides, adding to the double bond of iso butene to give eventually diperoxides or at the higher temperatures decomposing.
