Activation of Low-Valent, Multiply M–M Bonded Group VI Dimers toward Catalytic Olefin Metathesis via Surface Organometallic Chemistry
2020
Olefin metathesis is a broadly employed reaction with applications that range from fine chemicals to materials and petrochemicals. The design and investigation of olefin metathesis catalysts have been ongoing for over half a century, with advancements made in terms of activity, stability, and selectivity. Immobilization of organometallic complexes onto solid supports such as silica or alumina is a promising strategy for catalyst heterogenization, often resulting in increased activity and stability. Consequently, a broad range of early transition metal catalysts bearing alkyl, oxide/alkoxide, and amide ligands have been grafted onto silica and their reactivities investigated. Herein, we report a series of silica-supported tungsten and molybdenum dimers (X3M≡MX3, where M = W and Mo; X = neopentyl, tert-butoxide, and dimethyl amide) and their reactivities toward catalytic olefin metathesis. Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP)-enhanced solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR), diffuse reflectance infrare...
