Alkali Metal Cation Effects for Rapid C–H Activation by Iron(0) Complexes

NHNereida HidalgoKSKendal SouthwellRDRyan Donnelly

Key Points

  • To investigate how alkali metal cations affect the C–H activation rate in iron(0) complexes.
  • Utilized diketiminate-supported iron(0) complexes
  • Applied ion pairing with various alkali metal cations
  • Measured activation rates of C–H bonds
  • Demonstrated increased rates of C–H activation with specific alkali metal cations
  • Observed optimal ion pairing conditions for enhanced activity
  • Identified that unique interactions between cations and iron(0) complexes facilitate activation

Abstract

Ion pairing with alkali metal cations offers a novel way to enhance the rate of C–H activation. This strategy is demonstrated here using diketiminate-supported iron(0) complexes, which previously were shown...
