A detailed analysis of the C(sp )-H activation process by vinylidene Au complexes is described based on an intrinsic bond orbital analysis. Based on our analysis this event can be divided into three phases: (i) hydride transfer, (ii) C-C bond formation, and (iii) σ to π rearrangement of the lone pair coordinated to Au. Small perturbations of the system lead to either a concerted asynchronous reaction, or a stepwise reaction featuring an intermediate with a C-H-C three-centre two-electron (3c-2e) bond. The role of π-donating substituents is highlighted and provides a way of controlling reactions of this type in future experimental studies.
基于内在键轨道分析,描述了亚乙烯基金配合物对C(sp )-H活化过程的详细分析。根据我们的分析,该过程可分为三个阶段:(i) 氢化物转移,(ii) C-C键形成,以及(iii) 与金配位的孤对电子的σ到π重排。系统的微小扰动会导致协同的异步反应,或导致具有C-H-C三中心两电子(3c-2e)键中间体的分步反应。突出了π供电子取代基的作用,并为未来实验研究中控制这类反应提供了一种方法。
