Rhodium(II) porphyrin derivatives are observed to activate carbon monoxide toward one-electron reactions at the carbonyl carbon. Re­ ductive coupling of carbon monoxide to form dimetal diketone com­ plexes (M-C(O)-C(O)-M) is one prominent example of this type of reactivity. Thermodynamic and kinetic-mechanistic studies for re­ actions of CO with a series of cobalt, rhodium, and iridium por­ phyrins provide insights into criteria for obtaining CO coupling. Seventeen-electron monocarbonyl complexes, (porphyrin)Rh-CO, are implicated as reactive intermediates. Electron paramagnetic res­ onance studies of the tetramesitylporphyrin derivative (TMP)Rh-CO illustrate how this type of complex directs radicallike reactivity to the carbon center.

Related reactions of alkyl radicals and atomic species like Η· and CI* are also well known (3-5). 3

As part of a program to evaluate the reactivity patterns of metalloradicals with small molecules, we have been studying the reactions of Co(II), Rh(II), and Ir(II) porphyrins with C O . O n e of our objectives was to determine whether metalloradicals (Μ·) can react with C O to form intermediate com­ plexes, [MCO]% that exhibit one-electron carbonyl carbon reactions in anal­ ogy with the acyl radical ( C H C O ) (eqs 1-3). A feature that distinguishes this study from previous work is that the one-electron activating species (Μ·) is present at thermal equilibrium. This characteristic provides an opportunity to have an equilibrium source of one-electron activated C O , (MCO). A series of Group 9 metalloporphyrin complexes [(POR)M(II); M is Co(II), Rh(II), Ir(II)] were selected as sources of metalloradicals. Monomeric d metal ion complexes of porphyrins are expected to be low-spin (s = V2) complexes with the unpaired electron effectively localized in the d orbital normal to the porphyrin plane. Species of this type are often referred to as metalloradicals because there is a single metal-based unpaired electron (s = V2) in an orbital (d ) capable of giving one-electron reactions. 3

iridium(II) porphyrin complexes are usually diamagnetic M - M bonded di­ mers, but function as sources of the paramagnetic monomers (13, 14). The large steric requirements of tetramesitylporphyrin (TMP) preclude dimeri­ zation through M - M bonding and provide a stable monomeric Rh(II) com­ plex, (TMP)Rh(II) (15). Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra for (TMP)Rh(II) in toluene glass (90 K) clearly indicate that this low-spin d

places spin density at the carbonyl carbon and should also result in a bending of the M - C O unit (16). As the M - C covalent bond strength increases, the carbonyl carbon will rehybridize toward s p , the C - O bond order will de­ 2

crease, the M - C - O angle will decrease from 180° toward 120°, and the carbon spin density will increase. The limiting case is approximated by CH -CO, 3

which is properly depicted as C H - C = 0 . Evidence for one3

electron metalloradical activation can come from observation of these struc­ tural and spin density changes, but further requires the characteristic overall reactivity depicted by eqs 1-4. Guideline thermodynamic criteria for the metal analogs of reactions 2 and 3 are given in Table I.

odd electron in (TPP)CoCO is thus largely based on cobalt. The C o - C O covalent bonding is too weak to produce sufficient carbonyl carbon rehybridization for the associated bending of the C o - C O unit to be detected in the E P R spectrum. The C o - C bond energies determined for cobalt por­ phyrin alkyls (20-30 kcal mol" ) (17) are far too small to produce reactions analogous to reactions 2-4, which result in reduction of the C O bond order to 2.

Rh(II) Porphyrin.

The search for metal complexes capable of one-

electron activation of C O was subsequently extended to Rh(II) and Ir(II) porphyrins, which are expected to form stronger M - C bonds than Co(II) complexes. Reactivity studies of C O with octaethylporphyrinrhodium(II) d i mer, [(OEP)Rh] , revealed the formation of dimetal ketone [(OEP)RhC(0)-Rh(OEP)] and dimetal α-diketone [(OEP)Rh-C(0)-C(0)-Rh(OEP)] complexes (eqs 8 and 9) (18, 29). 2

These products have a formal relationship to acetone ( C H - C ( 0 ) - C H 3 ) and biacetyl ( C H - C ( 0 ) - C ( 0 ) - C H 3 ) that results from the reaction of C H with C O (eqs 2 and 3). The desired type of C O complex, ( O E P ) R h - C O , could be an intermediate in reactions 8 and 9. The insertion of C O into the R h - H bond in ( O E P ) R h - H to produce a metalloformyl complex ( O E P ) R h - C ( 0 ) H (eq 10) (20) involves a radicallike pathway in benzene. 3

C N M R spectra of bulk C O in solutions of [(OEP)Rh] with C O manifest large line broadening of the C O peak as the temperature increases. This broadening provides qualitative evidence for C O exchange with a paramag­ netic complex, ( O E P ) R h - C O (22). Subsequent investigations of the reaction of C O with the monomeric tetramesitylrhodium(II) complex, (TMP)Rh% have resulted in the direct ob­ servation of ( T M P ) R h - C O . This observation led to evaluation of some general structural and electronic features of this 17-electron monocarbonyl complex (15). 1 3

Anisotropy of the C coupling constants on the g value transitions cannot be used to extract the C spin density because the principal values of the A C tensor are not observable in the glass spectrum. Presence of a bent R h - C O unit implies substantial rehybridization at the carbonyl carbon from sp toward sp . The carbonyl carbon spin density is thus —0.2-0.3, which implies that the total C O spin density is -0.25-0.35. The C O spin density in ( T M P ) R h - C O is 2 to 3 times larger than in ( T P P ) C o - C O but probably substantially less than that in H C O 1 3

(Pco = 1 - P H - 0.75) (23, 24). ( T M P ) R h - C O thus contains a bent, partially rehybridized R h - C O unit in which the unpaired electron occupies a σ mo­ lecular orbital (d2 + C O J that has - 7 0 % d and - 3 0 % Ο Ο character. The electronic structure can be depicted as a resonance hybrid of limiting electron structures that localize the odd electron in the rhodium d 2 (•Rh-C^O) or a carbon s p hybrid ( R h - C = 0 ) . T h e 17-electron complex, ( T M P ) R h - C O , is thus poised for a second one-electron reaction at either the rhodium or carbonyl carbon sites. Reaction with a one-electron species X· at the metal would produce an 18-electron Rh(III) carbon monoxide com­ plex, (TMP)Rh(X)(CO). Correspondingly, reaction at the carbonyl carbon forms a 16-electron Rh(III) complex, (TMP)Rh-C(0)X. Reversible dimerization of ( T M P ) R h - C O (1) through C - C bond for­ mation to produce a 1,2-ethanedionyl complex, ( T M P ) R h - C ( 0 ) - C ( 0 ) Rh(TMP) (2), illustrates a carbonyl carbon-centered one-electron reaction that can be viewed as an organometallic analog of formyl radical coupling [2H C O H - C ( 0 ) - C ( 0 > - H ] (eq 16). 1s

The type of C O reductive coupling depicted by eq 16 is presently known only for reactions of (POR)Rh(II) complexes with C O . Temperature depen­ dence of the isotropic E P R intensity for ( T M P ) R h C O (1) has been analyzed to provide the enthalpy change for reaction 16 ( Δ Η ° = -18.3 ± 0 . 8 kcal mol" ) (15). 1 6

Temperature dependence of the pyrrole H line broadening of (TMP)Rh-C(0)-C(0>-Rh(TMP) (2) is ascribed to exchange of the diamagnetic dimer (2) with the paramagnetic monomer (1) and used in deriving the activation energy for the dissociation of 2 into 1 (ΔΗ* = 21.3 ± 0.8 kcal mol" ) (Figure 2). A n energy profile for the reversible dimerization of ( T M P ) R h - C O is illustrated in Figure 3. The activation energy for dimeri­ zation ( Δ Η * - 3 ± 1 kcal mol" ) is derived from Δ Η ° (-18.3 kcal mol* ) and Δ Η _ * ( + 21.3 ± 0.8 kcal m o l ) , which is close to the value calculated for a diffusion-controlled process in benzene (3.1 kcal). l

Assuming that the dionyl unit [-C(0)-C(0)-] in 3 is similar to the organic analogs like biformyl, the dissociation of 3 into 2 results in cleavage of a 65-70-kcal C - C bond. The experimental dissociation energy ( Δ Η _ ° = 18.3 ± 0 . 8 kcal m o l ) is considerably smaller than the expected C - C bond energy in 3 (—65-70 kcal m o l ) (26). The energy difference indicates that —50 kcal of the energy change associated with reduction of the C O bond order in forming the α-diketone complex [2(C=0)-2(C=0) — 140 kcal mol" ] is regained in forming ( T M P ) R h - C O . This observation supports the E P R evi­ dence that ( T M P ) R h - C O contains only a partially rehybridized carbonyl unit with a bond order between 2 and 3 ( R h - C = 0 ) . Thermodynamic studies for reactions of [(OEP)Rh] and ( O E P ) R h - H with C O have been used in deriving values for the R h - C ( 0 ) X bond energies 16

More complete C O rehybridization occurs in the formyl radical because of the stronger H - C ( O ) bond. The bond strength and directional character of the C H - C ( 0 ) bond produces virtually complete C O rehybridization in the acyl radical (Table II). In ( P O R ) R h - C O complexes, reduction of the C - O bond order to 2 (C=0) requires the formation of a second bond at the carbonyl carbon. This bond formation is observed to be effectively accom­ plished in forming (POR)Rh-C(0)H, (POR)Rh-C(0)-Rh(POR), and (POR)Rh-C(0)-C(0)-Rh(POR) complexes, where the observed C O stretch­ ing frequencies for these species fall in the range for C - O double bonds (1700-1770 c m ) (18, 21, 29).

( P O R ) R h - C O is the probable central intermediate in reactions of rho­ dium porphyrins that produce formyl, ketone, and α-diketone complexes. The bent and partially rehybridized R h - C O fragment provides a relatively low-energy pathway for reversible one-electron reactions at the carbonyl carbon. Thermodynamic and kinetic studies of the dissociation of (TMP)Rh-C(0)-C(0)-Rh(TMP) provide a detailed view of how the nature of ( T M P ) R h - C O provides a facile pathway for (O)C-C(O) bond homolysis. The stretching and ultimate cleavage of the C - C bond is synchronized with an increase in the C O bond order such that the activation energy for dis­ sociation (ΔΗ* = 21 kcal mol" ) is - 4 3 - 4 8 kcal mol" less than the C - C bond energy (—65-70 kcal m o l ) in the α-diketone complex. The R h - C O units in the transition state are thus similar to that present in the monomer, (TMP)Rh-CO. 1

Most of the reorganization energy expended for rehybridization of the carbonyl unit in forming the C - C bond is regained in the transition state, in which an increase in the C - O bond order occurs at the expense of breaking Table II.

Similarly, homolytic dissociation energies and potentially associated activation enthalpies for dissociation of any X· from (POR)Rh-C(0)X should be - 2 5 kcal m o l less than the C ( 0 ) - X bond energy.

Carbon monoxide reacts with [(OEP)Ir] and ( O E P ) I r - H (31) to form only terminal C O complexes. Reactions that give overall insertion of C O into Ir-Ir and I r - H bonds, which are prominent types of reactions for rho­ dium porphyrins, are not observed for (OEP)Ir derivatives. These observa­ tions indicate that increases in the M - M and M - H bond energies in going from Rh to Ir are not compensated by corresponding increases in the I r - C ( O ) - bond energies. Weakening of the Ir-Ir bond by increasing the ligand steric requirements should permit formation of dimetal ketone and α-diketone complexes. However, testing of this supposition must await re­ sults from studies utilizing tetramesitylporphyriniridium(II). 2

Summary Reactions of carbon monoxide with Group 9 M(II) porphyrin complexes (M is C o , Rh, Ir) have been evaluated. At present only rhodium(II) porphyrin complexes have manifested the characteristics of one-electron C O activation. Cobalt-carbon bond energies (—20-30 kcal m o l ) are too small and the Ir-Ir and I r - H bond energies are too large for the compounds studied to produce observable equilibrium quantities of acyl derivatives. Rhodium(II) porphyrin complexes react with C O to form equilibrium distributions of dimetal ketone and dimetal α-diketone complexes. The porphyrin rhodium hydrides are also known to form metalloformyl complexes. 1

Studies of the reaction of (TMP)Rh(II) with C O have provided direct observation of the monocarbonyl species ( T M P ) R h C O , which contains a nonlinear R h C O unit and substantial carbon spin density. (POR)RhCO spe­ cies contain one-electron activated carbon monoxide that provides low-en­ ergy pathways for a second one-electron reaction to occur at the carbonyl carbon. (POR)RhCO species can thus function as productive intermediates in the sequential two-electron reduction of C O manifested in reactions of C O that produce metalloformyl, dimetal ketone, and dimetal diketone spe­ cies.
