Salient differences between Ni, Pd, Pt

Ni Pd Pt

4s more stable than 3d 5s much less stable than 4d 6s, 5d similar stability

3d much smaller than 4s(No 3d Pauli orthogonality)Huge e-e repulsion for d10

4d similar size to 5s (orthog to 3d,4s

Differential shielding favors n=4 over n=5,

stabilize 4d over 5s d10

2nd row (Pd): 4d much more stable than 5s Pd d10 ground state

3rd row (Pt): 5d and 6s comparable stability Pt d9s1 ground state

Relativistic effects of 1s huge decreased KE contraction stabilize and contract all ns destabilize and expand nd


Mysteries from experiments on oxidative addition and reductive elimination of CH and CC bonds on Pd and Pt

Why is CC coupling so much harder than CH coupling?


Step 1: examine GVB orbitals for (PH3)2Pt(CH3)


Analysis of GVB wavefunction


Alternative models for Pt centers



energetics

Not agree with experiment


Possible explanation: kinetics


Consider reductive elimination of HH, CH and CC from Pd

Conclusion: HH no barrier

CH modest barrierCC large barrier


Consider oxidative addition of HH, CH, and CC to Pt

Conclusion: HH no barrier

CH modest barrierCC large barrier


Summary of barriers

But why?

This explains why CC coupling not occur for Pt while CH and HHcoupling is fast


How estimate the size of barriers (without calculations)


Examine HH coupling at transition state

Can simultaneously get good overlap of H with Pd sd hybrid and with the other H

Thus get resonance stabilization of TS low barrier


Examine CC coupling at transition state

Can orient the CH3 to obtain good overlap with Pd sd hybrid OR can orient the CH3 to obtain get good overlap with the other CH3

But CANNOT DO BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY, thus do NOT get resonance stabilization of TS high barier


Examine CH coupling at transition state

H can overlap both CH3 and Pd

sd hybrid simultaneously but CH3 cannot

thus get ~ ½ resonance

stabilization of TS


Now we understand Pt chemistry

But what about Pd?

Why are Pt and Pd so dramatically different


new


Pt goes from s1d9 to d10 upon reductive eliminationthus product stability is DECREASED by 12 kcal/mol

Using numbers from QM


Pd goes from s1d9 to d10 upon reductive eliminationthus product stability is INCREASED by 20 kcal/mol

Using numbers from QM

Pd and Pt would be ~ same


Thus reductive elimination from Pd is stabilized by an extra 32 kcal/mol than for Pt due to the ATOMIC nature of the states

The dramatic stabilization of the product by 35 kcal/mol reduces the barrier from ~ 41 (Pt) to ~ 10 (Pd)

This converts a forbidden reaction to allowed


Summary energetics

Conclusion the atomic character of the metal can

control the chemistry


Examine bonding to all three rows of transition metals

Use MH+ as model because a positive metal is more representative of organometallic and inorganic complexes

M0 usually has two electrons in ns orbitals or else one

M+ generally has one electron in ns orbitals or else zero

M2+ never has electrons in ns orbitals

Physics behind Woodward-Hoffman Rules

For a reaction to be allowed, the number of bonds must be conserved. Consider H2 + D2

2 bonds TS ? bonds 2 bonds

Bonding2 elect

nonbonding1 elect

antibonding0 elect

Have 3 electrons, 3 MO’s

Have 1 bond. Next consider 4th atom, can we get 2 bonds?

To be allowed must have 2 bonds at TSHow assess number of bonds at the TS. What do the dots mean? Consider first the fragment


Can we have 2s + 2s reactions for transition metals?

2s + 2s forbidden for organics

Physics behind Woodward-Hoffman Rules

Bonding2 elect

Have 1 bond. Question, when add 4th atom, can we get 2 bonds?

Can it bond to the nonbonding orbital?

Answer: NO. The two orbitals are orthogonal in the TS, thus the reaction is forbidden


Now consider a TM case: Cl2TiH+ + D2

Orbitals of reactants

GVB orbitals of TiH bond for Cl2TiH+

GVB orbitals of D2


Is Cl2TiH+ + D2 Cl2TiD+ + HD allowed?

Bonding2 elect

nonbonding1 elect

antibonding0 elect

when add Ti 4th atom, can we get 2 bonds?

Answer: YES. The two orbitals can have high overlap at the TS orthogonal in the TS, thus the reaction is allowed

Now the bonding orbital on Ti is d-like. Thus at TS have


GVB orbitals at the TS for Cl2TiH+ + D2 Cl2TiD+ + HD


GVB orbitals for the Cl2TiD+ + HD product

Note get phase change for both orbitals


Follow the D2 bond as it

evolves into the HD bond


Follow the TiH bond as it

evolves into the TiD bond


Barriers small, thus allowed

Increased d character in bond smaller barrier


Are all MH reactions with D2 allowed? No

Example: ClMn-H + D2

Here the Mn-Cl bond is very polar

Mn(4s-4pz) lobe orbital with Cl:3pz

This leaves the Mn: (3d)5(4s+4pz), S=3 state to bond to the HBut spin pairing to a d orbital would lose

4*Kdd/2+Ksd/2= (40+2.5) = 42.5 kcal/mol

whereas bonding to the (4s+4pz) orbital loses

5*Ksd/2 = 12.5 kcal/mol

As a result the H bonds to (4s+4pz), leaving a high spin d5.

Now the exchange reaction is forbidden
