Pincer-type complexes [OsH (CO){PyCH NHCH CH NHPtBu }] and [OsH (CO){HN(CH CH PiPr ) }] catalyze the disproportionation reaction of aldehydes via an outer-sphere bifunctional mechanism achieving turnover frequencies up to 14 000 h . The N-H group of the catalysts is a key player in this process, elucidated with the help of DFT calculations.
夹型配合物[OsH(CO){PyCHNHCHCHNHPtBu}]和[OsH(CO){HN(CHCHPiPr )}]通过外球双功能机制催化醛的歧化反应,实现了高达 14000 h 的转化频率。催化剂中的 N-H 基团是该过程的关键因素,这一结论是借助密度泛函理论计算得出的。
