Kinetics and Mechanism of the Proton Transfer to Cp*Fe(dppe)H: Absence of a Direct Protonation at the Metal Site

Résumé

The reaction between Cp*Fe(dppe)H and a number of different proton donors (2-fluoroethanol, MFE; 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, TFE; hexafluoro-2-propanol, HFIP; perfluoro-tert-butyl alcohol, PFTB; and trifluoroacetic acid, TFA) has been investigated spectroscopically by variable-temperature infrared, UV−visible, and NMR spectroscopy, and has been measured kinetically by the stopped-flow technique with UV−visible detection. The low-temperature IR study shows the establishment of hydrogen-bonding interactions which involve the hydride ligand as the proton accepting site. This investigation quantifies the thermodynamics of the hydrogen-bonding interaction and the basicity factor (Ej) of the hydride complex. All techniques agree in indicating an equilibration process, after the immediate hydrogen-bond formation, between the hydride complex and an intermediate dihydrogen complex, [Cp*Fe(dppe)(H2)]+. The equilibrium is shifted toward the dihydrogen complex to a greater extent for the stronger alcohols and for higher alcohol/Fe ratios. The observed equilibration rate constant is linearly dependent on the alcohol concentration, in agreement with the involvement of two alcohol molecules and the formation of a homoconjugate pair. The rate constant increases with the acidity of the proton donor (TFE < HFIP < PFTB < TFA). The rate of the subsequent irreversible isomerization leading to the classical dihydride complex, [Cp*Fe(dppe)H2]+, is first order, and the rate constant does not depend on the proton donor nature. The reaction continues, if conducted in CH2Cl2, with a third, slower step leading to the paramagnetic [Cp*Fe(dppe)Cl]+ product. The kinetic data are in accord with an isomerization mechanism consisting of an intramolecular reorganization, leading in one step from the dihydrogen complex to the classical dihydride species, and disagree with the occurrence of a proton-transfer process at the metal site.
