Scandium and yttrium congeneric complexes, supported by a monoanionic PNP ligand, were studied as catalysts for alkene hydrogenation and hydrosilation, and alkyne semihydrogenation and semihydrosilation. The yttrium congener was found to be much more active in all cases, but this greater activity is accompanied by more rapid catalyst decomposition and therefore higher total yields for some of the reactions with the scandium catalyst. Calculations indicate that the reactions may proceed via σ-bond metathesis of the alkyl complexes to form metal hydride intermediates into which alkenes/alkynes insert.
研究了由单阴离子PNP配体支撑的钪和钇同属配合物作为烯烃氢化和硅氢化、炔烃半氢化和半硅氢化反应的催化剂。结果发现,钇同属物在所有情况下活性都高得多,但这种更高的活性伴随着催化剂更快的分解,因此对于某些钪催化剂参与的反应,总产率更高。计算表明,反应可能通过烷基配合物的σ键复分解形成金属氢化物中间体,烯烃/炔烃插入其中。
