A dianionic, square planar cobalt(II) complex reacts with O in the presence of acetonitrile to give a cyanomethylcobalt(III) complex formed by C-H bond cleavage. Interestingly, PhIO and -tolylazide react similarly to give the same cyanomethylcobalt(III) complex. Competition studies with various hydrocarbon substrates indicate that the rate of C-H bond cleavage greatly depends on the Ka of the C-H bond, rather than on the C-H bond dissociation energy. Kinetic isotope experiments reveal a moderate KIE value of 3.5 using either O or PhIO. The possible involvement of a cobalt(IV) oxo species in this chemistry is discussed.
一种二价阴离子平面正方形钴(II)配合物在乙腈存在下与氧气反应,通过C-H键断裂生成一种氰甲基钴(III)配合物。有趣的是,次碘酸苯酯(PhIO)和对甲苯叠氮化物的反应类似,生成相同的氰甲基钴(III)配合物。对各种烃类底物的竞争研究表明,C-H键断裂的速率很大程度上取决于C-H键的Ka,而不是C-H键的解离能。动力学同位素实验表明,使用氧气或次碘酸苯酯(PhIO)时,动力学同位素效应(KIE)值适中,为3.5。本文讨论了钴(IV)氧物种在该化学反应中可能的参与情况。
