An organoberyllium compound is an organometallic compound featuring the group 2 alkaline earth metal beryllium (Be). Beryllium is best known to have a +2 oxidation state and one of the smallest atoms and it is understudied in the periodic table. It is known to be highly reactive and extremely toxic and can cause berylliosis. [1] [2] The Be2+ cation is characterized by the highest known charge density (Z/r = 6.45), making it one of the hardest cations and a very strong Lewis acid. [3] It is most commonly used to coordinate other elements and can portray many types of compound through different ligands attachment. Coordination in beryllium can range from a coordination number of two to four. [4] Most common ligands attached to beryllium are halides, hydride (like beryllium borohydride in a three-center two-electron bond), methyl, aryl, and alkyl. Beryllium can form complexes with known organic compounds such as phosphines, N-hetereocyclic carbenes (NHC), cyclic alkyl amino carbenes (CAAC), and β-diketiminates (NacNac). They can best be prepared by transmetallation or alkylation of beryllium chloride. [5]

Characteristics

An organoberyllium consists of a beryllium atom with an organic group attached. Be has a +2 oxidation state, is one of smallest elements, and is understudied in the periodic table. There are very few reported case of Be(I) and Be(0) oxidation states. [6] [7] [8] It has a higher charge density than any group 2 element. Organoberyllium chemistry is limited to academic research due to the cost and toxicity of beryllium. Organometallic beryllium compounds are highly reactive and strong acids. Beryllium has a high electronegativity compare to other group 2 elements; thus the resulting C-M bonds are less highly polarized and ionic-like. [9] The lighter organoberyllium compounds are often considered covalent, but with some ionic bond characteristics owning to the attached carbon bearing a negative dipole moment. This higher ionic character and bond polarization tends to produce high coordination numbers and many compounds, particularly dialklys, are polymeric in solid or liquid states with highly complex structures in solution, though in the gaseous state they are often monomeric.

Compounds

Beryllium can form a variety of organoberyllium compounds, including those that have ring structures, alkyls, alkynyls, [10] hydrides, [11] [12] methyls, [13] halides, phosphines, carbenes, and nitrogen-based coordination such as NacNac.

A good example of a beryllium compound is beryllium borohydride, which can contain a three-center two-electron bond and can produce dimers.

Compounds such as these hydrides can coordinate with carbenes such as N-heterocyclic carbene and can form crystals. These compounds transform beryllium chemistry into many research avenues with coordination and perform organocatalytic characteristics.

Ring structure

Organoberyllium structures can consist of an aryl, [14] dineopentylberyllium, [14] beryllocene, [15] [16] [17] phenyl, [18] or terphenyl. [19] This structure can facilitate good coordination to other main group elements and even metal centers.

Halides

Beryllium halides are formed by a combination of halogen with a beryllium atom. Beryllium halides are mostly covalent in nature except for the fluoride which is more ionic. They are known to form four-electron two-center bonds [ dubious – discuss ] and can be used as Lewis acid catalysts. Preparation for these compounds varies by the halogen. Beryllium halides are among the most common starting points to form complexes with other types of ligand. [20] [5] Halides can donate 2 electrons into the beryllium center with a charge of -1.

Phosphines

Organoberyllium phosphines are another class of compounds that is used in synthesis. [21] Phosphine donates two electrons into the beryllium center. Phosphines are L-type ligands. Unlike most metal ammine complexes, metal phosphine complexes tend to be lipophilic, displaying good solubility in organic solvents. Phosphine ligands are also π-acceptors. Their π-acidity arises from overlap of P-C σ* anti-bonding orbitals with filled metal orbitals. Beryllium can coordinate with a phosphine due to its good π-acceptor ability, which is used extensively in beryllium chemistry literature. An organoberyllium phosphine can be prepared through coordination with a beryllium halide to form a four-coordinate tetrahedral compound.

Carbenes

An organoberyllium carbene consists of a carbene attached to beryllium. The types of carbene includes a N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) and cyclic alkyl amino carbenes (CAAC).

N-Hetereocyclic carbenes

Beryllium can coordinate with an N-hetereocyclic carbene (NHC). [22] [23] [24] NHCs are defined as heterocyclic species containing a carbene carbon and at least one nitrogen atom within the ring structure. [21] NHCs have found numerous applications in some of the most important catalytic transformations in chemical industry, but their reactivity in coordinating with main group elements especially with beryllium’s potential as a reactive organocatalyst has opened new areas of research. [25]

Cyclic alkyl amino carbenes (CAAC)

Beryllium can coordinate with cyclic alkyl amino carbene (CAAC) ligands and can form beryllium radicals which can be present with beryllium complexes (BeR2). A CAAC ligand coordinates a 2 electron -1 charge into the beryllium center. [26] CAAC has an "amino" substituent and an "alkyl" sp3 carbon atom. CAACs are very good σ donors (higher HOMO) and π acceptors (lower LUMO) compared to NHCs. In addition, the lower heteroatom stability of the carbene center in CAAC compared to NHC results in a lower ΔE.

β-Diketiminates (NacNac)

β-Diketiminates (BDI, also known as NacNac), are a commonly used class of supporting ligands that have been successfully adopted to stabilize an extensive range of metal ions from the s, p, d, and f-blocks in multiple oxidation states. [27] The popularity of these monoanionic N-donor ligands can be explained by their convenient access and high stereoelectronic coordination. This enables the separation of highly reactive coordinatively unsaturated complexes. Moreover, studies have demonstrated the utility of this class of ligands for designing active catalysts for various transformations. So, because of that, beryllium can properly coordinate with β-diketiminate compounds due to the high reactivity and stereo electronic coordination with the beryllium thus a Be NacNac compound is also common in organoberyllium chemistry.

Synthesis

Synthesis of organoberyllium compounds is limited but literature have shown that beryllium can react with halides, alkyls, alloxides and other organic compounds. Alkylation of beryllium halide is one of the most widely-used method in beryllium chemistry. [28]

Transmetallation

A transmetallation involves a ligand transfer to one another such as this:

M'R2 + Be → BeR2 + M'

M is not limited to any main group and/or transition metal. R can be limited to almost any phosphine, aryl, alkyl, halogen, hydride and/or carbene.

In this case organoberyllium can form reactions such as:

Alkylation of beryllium halide is another common method to react to make an organoberyllium compound such as this:

2 MR1 + BeR2 → BeR1 + MR2

M is not limited to any main group and/or transition metal. R1 is not limited to phenyl, methyl, methyl oxide, carbene etc. R2 can be any halide such as flouride, bromide, iodide, or chloride.

An example of such reaction is the synthesis of bis(cyclopentadienyl)beryllium (Cp2Be) or beryllocene from BeCl2 and potassium cyclopentadienide:

2 K[Cp]+BeCl2 → (Cp)2Be + 2 KCl

Low oxidation beryllium chemistry

While Be(II) is one of the more common oxidation states, there is also further research on a Be(I) and Be(0) complex. Low-valent main group compounds have recently become desirable synthetic targets due to their interesting reactivity comparable to transition metal complexes. In one work, stabilized cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene ligands were used to isolate and characterize the first neutral compounds containing beryllium, with the Be (0) compound stabilized by a strongly σ-donating and π-accepting cyclic CAAC ligand. [29]

This reaction is shown when a CAAC ligand is coordinated with a BeCl2 and using KC8 to form a zero oxidation beryllium complex. This work was done by Prof Braunschweig to create the first neutral Be complex the R group includes Me and (CH2)5 and Dipp is otherwise known as 2,6-diisopropylphenyl. Be (0) Complex Synthesis.png

Be(I) is another example of a rare phenomenon and few publications were reported, but one example of a Be(I) was a CAAC ligand already coordinated with Be. Gilliard and his group created a more stable beryllium radical cation. [6] Because of well-established challenges concerning the reduction of Be(II) to Be(I), they pursued the radical via an oxidation strategy using TEMPO ((2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl) oxyl). This reaction resulted in a Be(I) compound just by stabilizing the Be radical.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Transition metal pincer complex</span>

In chemistry, a transition metal pincer complex is a type of coordination complex with a pincer ligand. Pincer ligands are chelating agents that binds tightly to three adjacent coplanar sites in a meridional configuration. The inflexibility of the pincer-metal interaction confers high thermal stability to the resulting complexes. This stability is in part ascribed to the constrained geometry of the pincer, which inhibits cyclometallation of the organic substituents on the donor sites at each end. In the absence of this effect, cyclometallation is often a significant deactivation process for complexes, in particular limiting their ability to effect C-H bond activation. The organic substituents also define a hydrophobic pocket around the reactive coordination site. Stoichiometric and catalytic applications of pincer complexes have been studied at an accelerating pace since the mid-1970s. Most pincer ligands contain phosphines. Reactions of metal-pincer complexes are localized at three sites perpendicular to the plane of the pincer ligand, although in some cases one arm is hemi-labile and an additional coordination site is generated transiently. Early examples of pincer ligands were anionic with a carbanion as the central donor site and flanking phosphine donors; these compounds are referred to as PCP pincers.

A transition metal carbene complex is an organometallic compound featuring a divalent organic ligand. The divalent organic ligand coordinated to the metal center is called a carbene. Carbene complexes for almost all transition metals have been reported. Many methods for synthesizing them and reactions utilizing them have been reported. The term carbene ligand is a formalism since many are not derived from carbenes and almost none exhibit the reactivity characteristic of carbenes. Described often as M=CR2, they represent a class of organic ligands intermediate between alkyls (−CR3) and carbynes (≡CR). They feature in some catalytic reactions, especially alkene metathesis, and are of value in the preparation of some fine chemicals.

Unprotected carbene analogs, including germylenes, has a dimerization nature. Free germylenes can be isolated under the stabilization of steric hindrance or electron donation. The synthesis of first stable free dialkyl germylene was reported by Jutzi, et al in 1991.

Metal carbon dioxide complexes are coordination complexes that contain carbon dioxide ligands. Aside from the fundamental interest in the coordination chemistry of simple molecules, studies in this field are motivated by the possibility that transition metals might catalyze useful transformations of CO2.

In chemistry, mesoionic carbenes (MICs) are a type of reactive intermediate that are related to N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs); thus, MICs are also referred to as abnormal N-heterocyclic carbenes (aNHCs) or remote N-heterocyclic carbenes (rNHCs). Unlike simple NHCs, the canonical resonance structures of these carbenes are mesoionic: an MIC cannot be drawn without adding additional charges to some of the atoms.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Cyclic alkyl amino carbenes</span> Family of chemical compounds

In chemistry, cyclic(alkyl)(amino)carbenes (CAACs) are a family of stable singlet carbene ligands developed by Prof. Guy Bertrand and his group in 2005 at UC Riverside. In marked contrast with the popular N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) which possess two "amino" substituents adjacent to the "carbene" center, CAACs possess one "amino" substituent and an sp3 carbon atom "alkyl". This specific configuration makes the CAACs very good σ-donors and π-acceptors when compared to NHCs. Moreover the reduced heteroatom stabilization of the carbene center in CAACs versus NHCs also gives rise to a smaller ΔEST.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Borylene</span>

A borylene is the boron analogue of a carbene. The general structure is R-B: with R an organic residue and B a boron atom with two unshared electrons. Borylenes are of academic interest in organoboron chemistry. A singlet ground state is predominant with boron having two vacant sp2 orbitals and one doubly occupied one. With just one additional substituent the boron is more electron deficient than the carbon atom in a carbene. For this reason stable borylenes are more uncommon than stable carbenes. Some borylenes such as boron monofluoride (BF) and boron monohydride (BH) the parent compound also known simply as borylene, have been detected in microwave spectroscopy and may exist in stars. Other borylenes exist as reactive intermediates and can only be inferred by chemical trapping.

However, chemical syntheses that employ “GaI” rather than gallium(I) halide precursors have been increasingly investigated given the ease of synthesis of this reagent. While the synthetic method of Schnöckel and coworkers to synthesize gallium(I) halides require extraordinarily high temperatures, the straightforward preparation of “GaI” at near room temperature has allowed for the exploration of new gallium-based chemistries.

9-borafluorenes are a class of boron-containing heterocycles consisting of a tricyclic system with a central BC4 ring with two fused arene groups. 9-borafluorenes can be thought of as a borole with two fused arene rings, or as a trigonal planar boron atom with an empty p orbital bridging two biphenyl rings. However, 9-borafluorenes are generally less reactive than boroles due to less antiaromatic character and Lewis acidity. Containing highly conjugated π systems, 9-borafluorenes possess interesting photophysical properties. In addition, 9-borafluorenes are good Lewis acids. This combination of properties enables potential uses such as in light-emitting materials, solar cells, and sensors for some molecules.

Coinage metal N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes refer to transition metal complexes incorporating at least one coinage metal center (M = Cu, Ag, Au) ligated by at least one NHC-type persistent carbene. A variety of such complexes have been synthesized through deprotonation of the appropriate imidazolium precursor and metalation by the appropriate metal source, producing MI, MII, or MIII NHC complexes. While the general form can be represented as (R2N)2C:–M (R = various alkyl or aryl groups), the exact nature of the bond between NHC and M has been investigated extensively through computational modeling and experimental probes. These results indicate that the M-NHC bond consists mostly of electrostatic attractive interactions, with some covalent bond character arising from NHC to M σ donation and minor M to NHC π back-donation. Coinage metal NHC complexes show effective activity as catalysts for various organic transformations functionalizing C-H and C-C bonds, and as antimicrobial and anticancer agents in medicinal chemistry.

Carbones are a class of molecules containing a carbon atom in the 1D excited state with a formal oxidation state of zero where all four valence electrons exist as unbonded lone pairs. These carbon-based compounds are of the formula CL2 where L is a strongly σ-donating ligand, typically a phosphine (carbodiphosphoranes) or a N-heterocyclic carbene/NHC (carbodicarbenes), that stabilises the central carbon atom through donor-acceptor bonds. Carbones possess high-energy orbitals with both σ- and π-symmetry, making them strong Lewis bases and strong π-backdonor substituents. Carbones possess high proton affinities and are strong nucleophiles which allows them to function as ligands in a variety of main group and transition metal complexes. Carbone-coordinated elements also exhibit a variety of different reactivities and catalyse various organic and main group reactions.  

<i>N</i>-Heterocyclic carbene boryl anion Isoelectronic structure

An N-heterocyclic carbene boryl anion is an isoelectronic structure of an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), where the carbene carbon is replaced with a boron atom that has a -1 charge. NHC boryl anions have a planar geometry, and the boron atom is considered to be sp2-hybridized. They serve as extremely strong bases, as they are very nucleophilic. They also have a very strong trans influence, due to the σ-donation coming from the boron atom. NHC boryl anions have stronger electron-releasing character when compared to normal NHCs. These characteristics make NHC boryl anions key ligands in many applications, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and more commonly low oxidation state main group element bonding.
