CRC 858 A07 - Heteropolynuclear Carbene Complexes with Cooperatively Interacting Metal Centers

Basic data for this project

Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster

Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2018 - 31/12/2021 | 3rd Funding period

Description

The project aims at the preparation of heterobimetallic complexes based on a di-, tri- or poly-NHC skeleton and the use of such complexes in cooperative catalytic transformations. The heterobimetallic complexes will be prepared by linkage of mononuclear complexes bearing differently N-functionalized (azide and alkyne or diene and dienophile) NHC ligands. Alternatively, the site-selective metalation of di-NHC precursors composed of a neutral C2halogeno substituted imidazole linked to an azolium building block using the oxidative addition of the C2X bond of the azole and the deprotonation/metalation reaction of the azolium site will be employed. Suitable metal combinations are Cu/Ag for the cooperative alkynylation of trifluoromethyl ketones and Ru/Pd for the hydrodefluorination of CF bonds.
