- ItemSynthesis of Molybdenum Pincer Complexes and Their Application in the Catalytic Hydrogenation of Nitriles(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2020) Leischner, Thomas; Spannenberg, Anke; Junge, Kathrin; Beller, MatthiasA series of molybdenum(0), (I) and (II) complexes ligated by different PNP and NNN pincer ligands were synthesized and structurally characterized. Along with previously described Mo−PNP complexes Mo-1 and Mo-2, all prepared compounds were tested in the catalytic hydrogenation of aromatic nitriles to primary amines. Among the applied catalysts, Mo-1 is particularly well suited for the hydrogenation of electron-rich benzonitriles. Additionally, two aliphatic nitriles were transformed into the desired products in 80 and 86 %, respectively. Moreover, catalytic intermediate Mo-1a was isolated and its role in the catalytic cycle was subsequently demonstrated. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
- ItemTetraÂcarbonÂyl[4,4-dimethyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-oxazoline-κ2N,N′]molybdenum(0)(Chester : IUCr, 2019) Steinlechner, Christoph; Spannenberg, Anke; Junge, Henrik; Beller, MatthiasIn the title compound, [Mo(C10H12N2O)(CO)4], the molybdenum(0) center is surrounded by a bidentate diÂimine [4,4-dimethyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)-2-oxazoline] and four carbonyl ligands in a distorted octaÂhedral coordination geometry. The diÂimine ligand coordinates via the two nitroÂgen atoms.
