Rh(I) and Ir(I) Derivatives of a P(S),N-Substituted Indene Ligand: Synthetic, Structural, and Catalytic Alkene Hydrosilylation Studies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Treatment of 1-PiPr2-indene or 1-PiPr2-2-NMe2-indene (1a) with elemental sulfur afforded 3-iPr2P(S)-indene or 1-iPr2P(S)-2-NMe2-indene (4a) in 81% and 85% isolated yield, respectively. Addition of 4a to [(COD)M(THF)2]+BF4- afforded the corresponding [(COD)M(kappa2-N,S-4a)]+BF4- complexes (M = Rh, 5a, 76%; M = Ir, 5b, 59%; COD = eta4-1,5-cyclooctadiene), which were found to exhibit temperature-dependent NMR spectral features that were rationalized in terms of a dynamic process involving M-NMe2 dissociation, rotation about the indenyl-NMe2 bond, inversion at nitrogen, and re-coordination to M. Analysis of variable-temperature NMR data collected for 5a and 5b each yielded a value for DeltaG(double dagger) of ca. 14 kcal/mol for this process. Exposure of 5a or 5b to NaN(SiMe3)2 generated the corresponding (COD)M(kappa2-C,S-1-iPr2P(S)-2-NMe2-(C1-indenyl)) complex (M = Rh, 6a, 70%; M = Ir, 6b, 86%) in which the metal is incorporated into an M-C-P-S ring via coordination to the indenyl ring in an eta1-fashion, as well as to sulfur. Alternatively, complex 6b was prepared cleanly via lithiation of 4a followed by treatment with 0.5 equiv of [(COD)IrCl]2. The ability of 5a,b and 6a,b to mediate the addition of triethylsilane to styrene was also explored, and their performance was compared with that of Wilkinson's Catalyst ((PPh3)3RhCl) and Crabtree's catalyst ([(COD)Ir(PCy3)(Py)]+PF6-; Cy = cyclohexyl; Py = pyridine). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data are provided for 4a, 2-NMe2-3-iPr2P(S)-indene (4b), 6a, and 6b.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
