Four Cl/Me substituted [ONNO] Zr-catalysts have been tested in ethene/α-olefin polymerization. Replacing electron-donating methyl with isosteric but electron-withdrawing chlorine substituents results in a significant increase of comonomer incorporation. Exploration of steric and electronic properties of the ancillary ligand by DFT confirm that relative reactivity ratios are mainly determined by the electrophilicity of the metal center. Furthermore, quantitative DFT modeling of propagation barriers that determine polymerization kinetics reveals that electronic effects observed in these catalysts affect relative barriers for insertion and a capture-like transition state (TS).

In this study, we report an investigation into the steric (cone angle, θ) and electronic properties of ligands in Ru-catalyzed C–H arylation of aromatic benzamides bearing 8-aminoquinoline as an N,N’-bidentate-directing group. The study employs [RuCl2( p-cymene)]2 as a precatalyst, and a ligand, under study, as a cocatalyst. Various electronically and sterically different monodentate and bidentate phosphine ligands were examined. Other ligands such as phosphites and amines were also tested. The study reveals that while bidentate phosphines, phosphites, and aryl and alkyl amines were found to be ineffective, monodentate triarylphosphines represented by triphenylphosphine were found to be the most effective ligands in the Ru-catalyzed C–H arylation under the conditions specified. In addition, the study reveals that there is a correlation between the steric effects, cone angle (θ) and the reaction efficiency. Thus, for symmetrical phosphine ligands, as the cone angle increases, the yield of the CH arylation product gradually decreased. Moreover, the electronic properties of triarylphosphine ligands influenced the reaction as demonstrated by the decreased ability of electron-poor ligands to promote the reaction. The study also reveals a correlation between the electronic parameter, υCO, of the triarylphosphine ligand and the reaction efficiency. As the carbonyl stretching frequency increases, the reaction yield gradually decreased.

First-order rate constants have been measured for the pyrolysis of 15 phenyl azides in decalin solution. The rate for phenyl azide is increased only slightly by all para and many ortho substituents; in these cases Eact and ΔSact values are related linearly. ��� The very large rate increases when the ortho substituent is phenylazo, nitro, acetyl or benzoyl cannot be from steric or normal electronic effects and therefore identify a specific involvement of these groups in the transition state. This rate enhancement is reduced to scarcely significant levels by a 6-chloro or 6-methyl group in 2- nitrophenyl azide, but not by a 6-nitro group. These results raise doubts about recent claims1 to establish mechanism by measuring polar effects on rates of pyrolysis of azides in which steric effects might also operate.

The present investigation demonstrates the hydroboration of 1,2-nonadiene, phenylpropadiene, 3-phenyl-1,2-butadiene, 4,5-nonadiene, and tetramethylallene with disiamylborane. All the allenes except tetramethylallene underwent 100% conversion. Examination of the products indicated preferential electrophilic attack of boron on the least substituted terminal carbon atom in the case of 1,2-nonadiene, phenylpropadiene, 3-phenyl-1,2-butadiene, and on the central carbon atom in 4,5-nonadiene. In tetramethylallene boron, attack was exclusively on the central carbon atom. These results have been explained in terms of steric effects on a four-centered transition state.

Electrophilic Additions

The role of steric and electronic effects during the rate and product determining steps for the addition of arenesulphenyl chlorides to 1,3-disubstituted allenes has been briefly examined. Both effects appear to be generally of minimal importance during the rate determining step. The available rate data indicate the presence of little, if any, build up of positive charge on sulphur. These results are interpreted in terms of an SN2 attack on bivalent sulphur leading to an alkylidenethiiranium ion intermediate. Steric effects are of greater importance in the product determining step, particularly when the sulphenyl chlorides possess two bulky ortho substituents, as in the case of 2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulphenyl chloride.

Electronic And Steric Effects

Based on a series of asymmetrical bis-Schiff base H2Ln (n = 1–4) ligands with different electronic and steric effects, a series of [Mn(Ln)Cl] complexes 1–4 are obtained and shown to be effective catalysts in ring-opening copolymerization of epoxides and dianhydrides. Through the structure design, the input of electron-withdrawing bromine substituent para to the phenoxide group of the complexes is considerately beneficial to the improved activities. Moreover, steric and electronic effects of the suitable MeO substituent at the ortho orientation on the phenoxide group may both play a role in the formation of alternating ring-opening copolymers under the identical reaction conditions. In three cocatalysts tested, n-Bu4NBr is positive to monomer conversion and chain growth of polymer.
