ReviewProblemG.10 G.4 Som e Background on Transition M e ta l Elem ents and Complexes Now that we have seen examples of some important reactions involving transition metals, we consider aspects of the electronic structure of the metals and their complexes Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partly filled (or f ) shells, either in the elemental state or in their important compounds The transition metals that are of most concern to organic chemists are those shown in the green and yellow portion of the periodic table given in Fig G.1, which include those whose reactions we have just discussed Transition metals react with a variety of molecules or groups, called to form In forming a complex, the ligands donate electrons to vacant d transitionmetalcomplexes ligands,

complexes with five or six ligands that are trigonal bipyramidal or octahedral These typi cal shapes are shown below, with the letter L used to indicate a ligand squareplanar LK \T L 4«¡&L L K,:Rh— I

elements that we have studied earlier in that they are most stable when they have the electronic configuration of a noble gas In addition to s and orbitals, transition metals have five orbitals (which can hold a total of electrons) Therefore, the noble gas configuration for a transition metal is not as with carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and so on When the metal of a transition metal complex has 18 valence electrons, it is said to be * d p 18electrons, coordinativelysaturated *We not usually show the unshared electron pairs of a metal complex in our structures, because to so would make the structure unnecessarily complicated G E le c tro n C o u n tin g in M e t a l C o m p le x e s To determine the valence electron count of a transition metal in a complex, we take the total number of valence electrons of the metal in the elemental state (see Fig G.1) and sub tract from this number the oxidation state of the metal in the complex This gives us what is called the electron count, The oxidation state of the metal is the charge that would be left on the metal if all the ligands (Table G.1) were removed d dn dn=total number of valence electrons _ of the elemental metal oxidation state of the metal in the complex inthecomplex, dn Then to get the total valence electron count of the metal we add to the number of electrons donated by all of the ligands Table G.1 gives the number of electrons donated by several of the most common ligands total number of valence electrons = of the metal in the complex dn+electrons donated by ligands Let us now work out the valence electron

when finely divided iron reacts with carbon monoxide CO OCV Fe + CO -» F e (C O )5 or I ^ F e — CO O C ^ CO Iron pentacarbonyl From Fig G.1 we find that an iron atom in the elemental state has valence electrons We arrive at the oxidation state of iron in iron pentacarbonyl by noting that the charge on the complex as a whole is zero (it is not an ion), and that the charge on each CO ligand is also zero Therefore, the iron is in the zero oxidation state G-10 G-11 S p e c ia l T o p ic G C a r b o n -C a r b o n B o n d -F o r m in g a n d O t h e r R e a c tio n s Using these numbers, we can now calculate d n and, from it, the total number of valence electrons of the iron in the complex dn= - = = d n+5(CQ) = total number of valence electrons 8 + (2 ) = 18 We find that the iron of Fe(CO) has 18 valence electrons and is, therefore, coordinatively saturated E x a m p le B Consider the rhodium complex Rh[(C6 H5 )3 P]3 H2 Cl, a complex that, as we shall see later, is an intermediate in certain alkene hydrogenations H 1Rh ^ %, I L = PhgP [i.e., (C6H5)3P] L ^ l NH L Cl H The oxidation state of rhodium in the complex is +3 [The two hydrogen atoms and the chlorine are each counted as - (hydride and chloride, respectively), and the charge on each of the triphenylphosphine ligands is zero Removing all the ligands would leave a Rh3+ ion.] From Fig G.1 we find that, in the elemental state, rhodium has valence electrons We can now calculate d n for the rhodium of the complex dn=9 - = Each of the six ligands of the complex donates two electrons to the rhodium in the com plex, and, therefore, the total number of valence electrons of the rhodium is 18 The rhodium of Rh[(C6 H5 )3 P]3 H2Cl is coordinatively saturated total number of valence = ^ + electrons rhodium (2 ) = + 12 = 18 G.6 M echanistic Steps in the Reactions o f Som e Transition M e ta l Complexes Much of the chemistry of organic transition metal compounds becomes more understand able if we are able to follow the mechanisms of the reactions that occur These mechanisms, in most cases, amount to nothing more than a sequence of reactions, each of which repre sents a fundamental reaction type that is characteristic o f a transition metal complex Let us examine three of the fundamental reaction types now In each instance we shall use steps that occur when an alkene is hydrogenated using a catalyst called Wilkinson’s catalyst In Section G.7 we shall examine the entire hydrogenation mechanism In Section G we shall see how similar types of steps are involved in the Heck-Mizokori reaction A transition metal complex can lose a ligand (by dissociation) and combine with another ligand (by association) In the process it undergoes ligand exchange For example, the rhodium complex that we encountered in Example B above can react with an alkene (in this example, with ethene) as follows: L ig a n d D is s o c ia tio n - A s s o c ia tio n ( L ig a n d E x c h a n g e ) H 2C = i= C H2 H L

involved In the first step, one of the triphenylphosphine lig ands dissociates This leads to a complex in which the rhodium has only 16 elec trons and is, therefore, coordinatively unsaturated H L H I '"^R h" L L Rh- L L H L H Cl Cl (18 e le ctro n s) (16 e le ctro n s) L _ Ph3P In the second step, the rhodium associates with the alkene to become coordinatively saturated again h 2c H L ^ = c h L R h— H H Rh H 2C = C H *Cl H Cl (16 e le ctro n s) (18 e le ctro n s) complex The complex between the rhodium and the alkene is called a p In it, two electrons are donated by the alkene to the rhodium Alkenes are often called p donors to distinguish them from s donors such as Ph3 P:, CP, and so on In a p complex such as the one just given, there is also a donation of electrons from a populated orbital of the metal back to the vacant p * orbital of the alkene This kind of donation is called “back-bonding.” d An unsaturated ligand such as an alkene can undergo in ser tioninto a bond between the metal of a complex and a hydrogen or a carbon These reactions are reversible, and the reverse reaction is called d einsertion I n s e r tio n - D e in s e r tio n The following is an example of insertion-deinsertion H 2C = i= C H I^ L Cl H L Rh I I insertion :R h — , - Cl deinsertion CH3 L / c h , L H H (18 e le ctro n s) (16 e le ctro n s) In this process, a p bond (between the rhodium and the alkene) and a s bond (between the rhodium and the hydrogen) are exchanged for two new s bonds (between rhodium and carbon, and between carbon and hydrogen) The valence electron count of the rhodium decreases from 18 to 16 This insertion-deinsertion occurs in a stereospecific way, as a of the M— H unit to the alkene synaddition I> C = |= C ^ ^ ^ C— i / M— H M C \ H Coordinatively unsaturated metal com plexes can undergo oxidative addition of a variety of substrates in the following way.* O x id a tiv e A d d itio n - R e d u c tiv e E lim in a tio n A ;m : A— B oxidative

substrate, A— B, can be H — H, H — X, R— X, RCO— H, RCO— X, and a number of other compounds In this type of oxidative addition, the metal of the complex undergoes an increase in the number of its valence electrons Consider, as an example, the oxidative addition of hydrogen to the rhodium complex that follows (L = Ph3P) andinitsoxidationstate H L Rh oxidative addition H— H Rh reductive

a position to examine the mechanisms of two applications of transi tion metal complexes in organic synthesis G.7 The Mechanism fo r a Hom ogeneous H ydrogenation: Wilkinson's Catalyst The catalytic hydrogenations that we have examined in prior chapters have been hetero geneous processes Two phases were involved: the solid phase of the catalyst (Pt, Pd, Ni, etc.), containing the adsorbed hydrogen, and the liquid phase of the solution, containing the unsaturated compound In homogeneous hydrogenation using a transition metal com plex such as Rh[(C6H5)3 P]3Cl (Wilkinson’s catalyst), hydrogenation takes place , i.e., in solution When Wilkinson’s catalyst is used to carry out the hydrogenation of an alkene, the fol lowing steps take place (L = Ph3P) inasin glephase Step1 H L La '
