All-metal sandwich inspires a theoretical following

13 May 2016

Written by Alex Pashley for Chemistry World

In the wake of the first experimentally isolated all-metal sandwich complex last year,¹ two independent groups from China have put forward their theoretical take on this inorganic rarity.²^,³

Researchers analysed the molecular orbitals holding the unusual all-metal sandwich complex together

Sandwich complexes are a class of inorganic compounds, typified by ferrocene. They feature a metal ion sandwiched between two aromatic ligands, which are bound to the central metal through haptic covalent bonds. Structurally similar species to ferrocene, with different metals or coordinating ligands, are generally termed metallocenes.

Nitrogen Reduction By Homogeneous Fe Complexes Revisited

06 May 2016

By Ian Mallov.

Geographer Vaclav Smil described the Haber-Bosch process as the “detonator of the human population explosion” in the twentieth century, in his Nature Millennium Essay.¹ Today, nearly 80% of nitrogen atoms in human tissue have been through the Haber-Bosch process;² where nitrogen gas is converted to ammonia converted into industrial fertilizers.

The Haber-Bosch process has now entered its second century. High temperatures and pressures and a catalyst composed of magnetite (Fe₃O₄), wüstite (FeO) and iron(0) metal, push the equilibrium of a mixture of pure hydrogen, nitrogen and ammonia gas towards the formation of ammonia. Today, one of the greatest challenges of industrial chemistry is to find an alternative catalyst and process.

In 1991 Leigh et. al. reported the nitrogen of nitrogen by a homogeneous Fe complex with two chelating phosphine ligands.³ They were able to reduce N₂ to ammonia (isolated as NH₄⁺) under strongly acidic conditions. However, following this discovery, verification and mechanistic questions remained.

The previously unreported dimer

In a recent article, ‘Teaching old compounds new tricks: efficient N₂ fixation by simple Fe(N₂)(diphosphine)₂ complexes‘ published in Dalton Transactions, , Ashley and co-workers report their investigation of the Leigh compound. They have persued a peak that was previously unaccounted for in the ³¹P NMR spectrum which has led them to isolate a unique dimer of this complex, bridged by molecular N₂. Comparing the reactivities of this dimer with the two monomers that feature different simple chelating phosphine ligands, they unambiguously report yields of NH₃ and N₂H₄ after reaction with triflic acid, and discern dependences based on ligand, temperature, and solvent.

This hitherto unreported dimeric compound, and the impressive NH₃/N₂H₄ yields achieved with the monomers tested, add a significant piece to the puzzle of how iron-mediated N₂ activation occurs.

Scientists explore arsoles’ off-colour behaviour

03 May 2016

By Aliya Anwar.

Written by Christopher Barnard for Chemistry World

Various 2,5-diarylarsoles showed unexpected mechanochromic properties

Alongside inspiring puns for infantile chemistry journalists, scientists in Japan have experimentally demonstrated that a class of heteroles known as arsoles can change colour under pressure.

Theorists predicted that these arsenic-containing compounds could form interesting optical and electronic materials, based on their low aromaticity and the high barrier to structural inversion. However, the bottom line in arsole synthesis is that volatile toxic arsenic intermediates have always limited their investigation…

Goodbye borazine, hello hydrogen

03 May 2016

By Aliya Anwar.

Written by Alice Jensen for Chemistry World

The ruthenium catalyst produces 2.7 equivalents of hydrogen from ammonia borane

Scientists are a step closer to ammonia borane-powered fuel cells thanks to a ruthenium catalyst that yields an unprecedented amount of hydrogen.

In theory, each molecule of ammonia borane, H₃NBH₃, can release three hydrogen molecules. This high hydrogen density makes ammonia borane an ideal fuel cell material.

British Zeolite Association meeting 2016 prize winner

25 Apr 2016

By Alice Jensen, Development Editor.

The 39th annual British Zeolite Association meeting was held on 21-23 March, 2016, at the University of Bath, UK. During the event, keynote lectures were given by Professor Richard Catlow, UCL, UK, Professor Diego Gatta, University of Milan, Italy, Professor Svetlana Mintova, CNRS & University of Caen, France and Dr Matthias Thommes, Quantachrome Instruments.

The Dalton Transactions poster prize was awarded to Huan V. Doan, a PhD student at the Unitversity of Bath’s Centre for Sustainable Chemical Technologies, for his poster entitled: “Synthesis of hierarchical metal-organic frameworks in CO₂ expanded solvent systems.” Huan’s research shows that CO₂-expanded synthesis modifies the porosity and crystallite size of the material and could lead to promising control of MOF formation for a variety of applications with reduced environmental impact.

Please join us in congratulating Huan!

Metal-based drugs that break the rules
Claire S. Allardyce and Paul J. Dyson*
Dalton Trans., 2016, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/C5DT03919C

Cisplatin and other platinum compounds have had a huge impact in the treatment of cancers and are applied in the majority of anticancer chemotherapeutic regimens. The success of these compounds has biased the approaches used to discover new metal-based anticancer drugs. In this perspective we highlight compounds that are apparently incompatible with the more classical (platinum-derived) concepts employed in the development of metal-based anticancer drugs, with respect to both compound design and the approaches used to validate their utility. Possible design approaches for the future are also suggested.

Dr Kogularamanan Suntharalingam: Dalton Young Researchers Award 2014 Winner

Advances in cobalt complexes as anticancer agents
Catherine R. Munteanu and Kogularamanan Suntharalingam*
Dalton Trans., 2015, 44, 13796-13808
DOI: 10.1039/C5DT02101D

The evolution of resistance to traditional platinum-based anticancer drugs has compelled researchers to investigate the cytostatic properties of alternative transition metal-based compounds. The anticancer potential of cobalt complexes has been extensively studied over the last three decades, and much time has been devoted to understanding their mechanisms of action. This perspective catalogues the development of antiproliferative cobalt complexes, and provides an in depth analysis of their mode of action.
