Coordination chemistry C*£) homogeneous \S catalysis mong the most significant developments in the field of catalysis in recent years have been the discovery and elucidation of a variety of new, and often unusual, catalytic reactions of transition metal ions and coordination compounds. Examples of such reactions are: • The hydrogénation of olefins catalyzed by complexes of ruthenium, rhodium, cobalt, platinum, and other metals. • The hydroformylation of olefins catalyzed by complexes of cobalt or rhodium ( Oxo process ). • The dimerization of ethylene and polymerization of dienes catalyzed by complexes of rhodium. • Double-bond migration in olefins catalyzed by complexes of rhodium, palladium, cobalt, platinum, and other metals. • The oxidation of olefins to aldehydes, ketones, and vinyl esters, catalyzed by palladium chloride (Wacker process ). • The hydration of acetylenes catalyzed by ruthenium chloride. This article deals with the mechanisms of some of these reactions and with some of the general principles that underlie this relatively new and rapidly developing field of chemistry. This subject has attracted much interest in

recent years both because of the novelty of much of the chemistry revealed by it and because of its potential practical applications, exemplified by the Oxo and Wacker processes which have already achieved considerable industrial importance. The possible relevance of many of the catalytic reactions in this field as model systems for related heterogeneous and enzymic processes also lends interest to the subject, although attempts to exploit this theme have thus far met with only limited success. Transition metal

complexes

The majority of catalytic reactions discussed in this article involve as catalysts coordination compounds of the metals near the end of each transition series, notably the platinum groups, comprising Fe, Ru, Os, Co, Rh, Ir, Ni, Pd, and Pt. The electron configurations of the metals in these groups are generally in the range dQ to d10, with the configuration d8 especially widely represented. Furthermore, the catalytic complexes in these groups are generally (although not invariably) of the spin-paired or low-spin type, that is, complexes in which the ligand field splittings are sufficiently large so that the d electrons first fill up (with

First let us consider some aspects of the electronic structures and chemical reactivities of this general class of complexes, be­ cause of their relevance to an understanding of the catalytic properties in which we are interested. The stable coordination numbers of low-spin com­ plexes of transition metals range from eight to two, and exhibit a systematic inverse dependence on the number of d electrons of the metal atom. This dependence is shown in the following table: Coordination number

Energy-level diagrams depict orbital splitting in complexes of various symmetries. Only the orbitals involved in accommodating the d electrons of the metal are depicted. Note that the octahedral configuration with only three stable (t2g) orbitals is most favorable for accommodation of six d electrons, whereas the two configurations of lower coordination number, each with four stable orbitals, are more favorable for the accommodation of seven or eight d electrons. The orbital symmetries are described by the symbols, xz, yz, x2-y2 . . ., as well as by the group theoretical designations a, e, t,g . . . .

d

This inverse dependence has its origin in the fact that, in general, the higher the coordination number, the fewer the d electrons that can be accommodated in stable (bond­ ing or nearly nonbonding) orbitals of the complex. In the case of an octahedral complex, for example, the three stable t2g orbitals (ηοη-σ-bonding or possibly slightly ττ-bonding in the case of π-acceptor ligands such as CO or CN~) can accommodate up to six d electrons. Any additional elec­ trons are forced to occupy the e* oribtals, which are

This mechanism has many features in common with that proposed by Burwell (C&EN, Aug. 22, page 66) for the heterogeneous catalytic hydrogénation on a chromia gel catalyst, shown in the following scheme

The homogeneous catalytic hydrogénation of an olefin by a mechanism involving the homolytic splitting of hydrogen can be illustrated by the Co(CN) 5 8 --catalyzed hydrogénation of butadiene in aqueous solution. Detailed studies by Kwiatek and coworkers suggest that this reaction proceeds by the following mechanism:

The reactivity of the hydride intermediate in such reac­ tions is generally high so that its formation is the ratedetermining step in the overall catalytic reaction.

In favorable cases, homogeneous catalytic hydrogénation of organic substrates such as olefins may also be achieved by transfer of hydrogen from the hydrido-transition metal complex. The following examples, all discovered within the past few years, illustrate how this hydrogénation can be realized for each of the three mechanisms of splitting of hydrogen (heterolytic, homolytic, and insertion) previously described.

Complexes of many transition metals, including cobalt, rhodium, iridium, iron, nickel, palladium, and platinum, catalyze double-bond migration in terminal olefins.

Rhodium chloride also catalyzes many other olefin-toolefin addition reactions including the addition of ethylene to dienes, the dimerization of 1,3-dienes to linear trienes, and the highly stereospecific polymerization of dienes (Rinehart and coworkers, 1961; Canale and coworkers, 1962). The mechanisms of these reactions remain to be elucidated. Hydroformylation

The addition of H 2 and CO to olefins to form aldehydes, that is "RCH^CHj, + \\t + CO -=*- RCH2CHZCriO

An alternative mechanism of olefin isomerization, in­ volving rearrangement through an intermediate ττ-allyl hy­ dride, has also been proposed and may operate in the case of some of the other catalysts, as shown in the following scheme:

Another olefin reaction catalyzed by rhodium chloride is the dimerization of ethylene to 1-butene (Alderson, Jenner, and Lindsay, 1965). A detailed study of this re­ action (Cramer, 1965) suggests the following mechanism which is closely related to the earlier mechanism of olefin isomerization:

In the presence of oxygen and copper (II) chloride the reduction of palladium (II) is prevented. Thus, a homo­ geneous catalytic cycle is established in which PdCl 4 2 ~ and CuClo serve as catalysts for the following reaction: CH1=CH1+Xo2 —=2=» CH3CH0 The corresponding oxidations of substituted olefins yield ketones, whereas oxidation in acetic acid medium yields vinyl acetates. General

observations

Many of the areas of chemistry touched on in this article are of comparatively recent origin. Indeed, nearly all of the reactions described have been discovered and eluci­ dated within the past decade. The selection of examples has been conditioned to some degree by my own interests as well as by emphasis on those reactions whose mecha­ nisms are best, although not always fully, understood. 74 C&EN OCT. 31, 1966

discussed in

• Xucleophilic catalysis of decarboxylation and hydroly­ sis reactions resulting from the activation of the (co­ ordinated) reactant by the positive charge of the metal ion. • The extensive array of cyclooligomerization, poly­ merization, and carbonylation reactions of acetylenes and olefins catalyzed by nickel carbonyl and its derivatives (Reppe chemistry). • The cyclotrimerization of butadiene and related reac­ tions catalyzed by ττ-complexes of nickel, recently dis­ covered by Wilke. • The polymerization of olefins by soluble catalysts of the Ziegler-Natta type. • The catalytic hydration of acetylenes. The mechanisms of many of these processes are still incom­ pletely understood. Several factors emerge as contributing to the great catalytic versatility of transition metal complexes in these and related reactions. Among these are:

• The existence of relatively stable but highly reactive complexes of transition metals which, by virtue of their electron configurations and coordination numbers, exhibit reactivities closely related to those of the reactive inter­ mediates of organic chemistry namely, free radicals, carbenes, and carbanions. As noted previously, the promi­ nence of d" and, particularly, d s complexes in homogeneous catalysis is related to this theme. • The ability of transition metals to stabilize a variety of otherwise unstable reaction intermediates through co­ ordination as ligands in relatively stable but reactive com­ plexes. Among these are σ-bonded ligands such as hydride and alkyl groups and ττ-bonded species such as allyl, cyclobutadiene, and the like. Reaction mechanisms involving such intermediates, which are prohibitively endothermic in the absence of catalysts, are thus rendered feasible. The ability of certain complexes to dissociate molecular hydro­ gen and other stable molecules reflects this property. • The ability of a transition metal atom to assemble or orient within the framework of its coordination shell several components of a reaction (template effect). This factor is undoubtedly important in such reactions as the cyclo­ oligomerization of acetylenes or dienes and in the metalion-promoted syntheses of porphyrins and, as shown by Busch, other macrocyclic ligands. • The ability of certain transition metal complexes to facilitate rearrangements within their coordination shells by virtue of the existence of two or more stable configura-

tions of the complex differing in coordination or oxidation number. An example of this effect, which is probably of widespread importance in catalytic reactions, is the ex­ istence of two stable configurations, corresponding to the coordination numbers 4 and 5, for d8 complexes. This effect facilitates such rearrangements as the proposed step in the hydroformylation reaction: ο

trends

Homogeneous catalysis by coordination compounds con­ tinues to be an active and fruitful field of research. Cur­ rently important lines of research are directed particularly to three areas: • The search for and discovery of new catalytic reac­ tions. • The more detailed elucidation of the mechanisms of the many reactions which are, as yet, incompletely under­ stood. • The discovery and characterization of new coordina­ tion compounds, often containing novel ligands, which are of interest as potential catalysts or catalytic intermediates or whose study might contribute to a better understanding of related catalysts or catalytic intermediates. Recent progress in all three of these areas has been im­ pressive, and there is every indication that the present intensive pace of research and discovery will continue for some years. Many important problems, both of understanding and of application, remain to be solved. Among these is the attainment of such objectives as the homogeneous catalytic activation of saturated hydrocarbons and of molecular nitrogen, which still await major breakthroughs. The re­ cent success of Volpin and Shur in fixing nitrogen with transition metal catalysts of the Ziegler-Natta type, as well as the recent discovery of two transition metal complexes containing coordinated nitrogen, that is R u ( N H 3 ) 5 N 2 2 + (Allen and Senoff, 1965) and IrCl(N 2 ) ( P P h 3 ) 2 (Collman and Kang, 1966), reinforce the hope that attainment of at least one of these objectives may be close. There is also reason to hope and anticipate, although the complexity and difficulty of this goal should not be under­ estimated, that the detailed understanding that is emerging of catalytic mechanisms in these relatively simple homo­ geneous systems will ultimately make a meaningful con­ tribution to our understanding of related catalytic phe­ nomena in heterogeneous and enzymic systems. In spe­ cific instances this has already occurred; one example is the insight which has been gained into certain aspects of Vitamin B 1 2 chemistry through studies on related cobalt complexes, such as the carbonyl (Heck), cyanide (Kwiatek, Halpern), and dimethylglyoxime (Schrauzer) com­ plexes.
