- Highly Active Multidentate Catalysts for Efficient Alkyne Metathesis
-
The invention relates to highly active and selective catalysts for alkyne metathesis. In one aspect, the invention includes a multidentate organic ligand wherein one substrate-binding site of the metal center is blocked. In another aspect, the invention includes N-quaternized or silane-based multidentate organic ligands, capable of binding to metals. In yet another aspect, the invention includes N-quaternized or silane-based multidentate catalysts. The catalysts of the invention show high robustness, strong resistance to small alkyne polymerization and significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared to their corresponding non-quaternized or non-silane-based multidentate catalyst analogues.

- Highly active multidentate alkyne metathesis catalysts: Ligand-activity relationship and their applications in efficient synthesis of porphyrin-based aryleneethynylene polymers
-
A series of tris(arylmethyl)ammonium-coordinated molybdenum(VI) propylidyne catalysts was synthesized. Such N-quarternized multidentate catalysts showed high robustness, strong resistance to small alkyne polymerization and significantly enhanced catalytic activity compared to their corresponding tris(arylmethyl)amine-based analogues. The high activity of these new catalysts also enabled the efficient synthesis of ethynylene-bridged porphyrin-based arylene ethynylene polymers via alkyne metathesis, which represents a highly efficient, defect-free, viable approach for the synthesis of this class of intriguing polymers.

- Introducing a podand motif to alkyne metathesis catalyst design: A highly active multidentate molybdenum(VI) catalyst that resists alkyne polymerization
-
Podand prevents polymers: The molybdenum(VI) propylidyne catalyst 1 with a podand triphenolamine ligand shows high activity in the metathesis of a variety of alkyne substrates, including heterocycles that contain donor moieties. With one substrate-binding site blocked by the multidentate ligand, the undesired polymerization of small alkynes that occurs with non-podand-ligand complex 2 is completely inhibited. Copyright
