RESUMEN

This organic-rich shale was analyzed to determine the type, origin, maturity and depositional environment of the organic matter and to evaluate the hydrocarbon generation potential of the shale. This study is based on geochemical (total carbon content, Rock-Eval pyrolysis and the molecular composition of hydrocarbons) and whole-rock petrographic (maceral composition) analyses. The petrographic analyses show that the shale penetrated by the Chaiye 2 well contains large amounts of vitrinite and sapropelinite and that the organic matter within these rocks is type III and highly mature. The geochemical analyses show that these rocks are characterized by high total organic carbon contents and that the organic matter is derived from a mix of terrestrial and marine sources and highly mature. These geochemical characteristics are consistent with the results of the petrographic analyses. The large amounts of organic matter in the Carboniferous shale succession penetrated by the Chaiye 2 well may be due to good preservation under hypersaline lacustrine and anoxic marine conditions. Consequently, the studied shale possesses very good hydrocarbon generation potential because of the presence of large amounts of highly mature type III organic matter.

RESUMEN

Heterometallic Ce(IV)/M (M = Mo(VI), Re(VII), V(V)) oxo clusters supported by the Kläui tripodal oxygen ligand [(η(5)-C5H5)Co{P(O)(OEt)2}3](-) (LOEt(-)) have been synthesized and structurally characterized, and the catalytic activity of the Ce(IV)/V(V) oxo cluster in the oxidation of thioanisoles has been studied. Treatment of [Ce(LOEt)Cl3] (1) with [Ag2MoO4] afforded the reported Ce(IV)/Mo(VI) cluster [H4(CeLOEt)6Mo9O38] (2), whereas that with [AgReO4] yielded the Ce(IV)/Re(VII) cluster [{LOEtCe(ReO4)2(H2O)(µ-ReO4)}2] (3) that contains an 8-membered Ce2Re2O4 ring. Treatment of 1 with [Ag3VO4] afforded the Ce(IV)/V(V) cluster [H2(CeLOEt)4(V[double bond, length as m-dash]O)4(µ4-O)(µ3-O)12] (4) containing a {Ce4V4O13} oxo-metallic core. The solid-state structure of 4 consists of four {VO4}(3-) units bridged by four {LOEtCe(3+)} moieties and a µ4-oxo ligand. Each Ce atom in 4 is 9-coordinated, whereas the geometry around each V atom is pseudo square pyramidal with a terminal oxo at the apical position. Cluster 4 is an active catalyst for the oxidation of substituted thioanisoles with tert-butyl hydroperoxide. For example, the oxidation of thioanisole with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of 0.01 mol% of 4 gave a ca. 30 : 1 mixture of the sulfoxide and sulfone products in 96% yield.

RESUMEN

The reactivity of the cerium(IV) oxo complex [(LOEt)2CeIV(═O)(H2O)]·MeC(O)NH2 (1; LOEt- = [CoCp{P(O)(OEt)2}3]-, where Cp = η5-C5H5) toward electrophiles and Brønsted acids has been investigated. The treatment of 1 with acetic anhydride afforded the diacetate complex [CeIV(LOEt)2(O2CMe)2] (2). The reaction of 1 with B(C6F5)3 yielded [CeIV(LOEt)2(Me2CONH2)2][B(C6F5)3(OH)]2 (3), in which the [B(C6F5)3(OH)]- anions are H-bonded to the O-bound acetamide ligands. The treatment of 1 with HCl and HNO3 afforded [CeIV(LOEt)2Cl2] and [CeIV(LOEt)2(NO3)2], respectively. Protonation of 1 with triflic acid (HOTf) gave the diaqua complex [CeIV(LOEt)2(H2O)2](OTf)2 (4), in which the triflate anions are H-bonded to the two aqua ligands. The treatment of 1 with phenol afforded the phenoxide complex [CeIV(LOEt)2(OPh)2] (5). The oxo-bridged bimetallic complex [(LOEt)2(Me2CONH2)CeIV(O)NaLOEt] (6) with the Ce-Ooxo and Na-Ooxo distances of 1.953(4) and 2.341(4) Å, respectively, was obtained from the reaction of 1 with [NaLOEt]. Density functional theory calculations showed that the model complex [(LOMe)2CeIV(Me2CONH2)(O)NaLOMe] (6A; LOMe- = [CoCp{P(O)(OMe)2}3]-) contains a polarized Ce═O multiple bond. The energy for dissociation of the {NaLOMe} fragment from 6A in acetonitrile was calculated to be +33.7 kcal/mol, which is higher than that for dissociation of the H-bonded acetamide from [(LOMe)2CeIV(═O)(H2O)]·MeC(O)NH2 (1A) (calculated to be +17.4 kcal/mol). In hexanes containing trace water, complex 1 decomposed readily to a mixture of a tetranuclear cerium(IV) oxo cluster, [CeIV4(LOEt)4(µ4-O)(µ2-O)4(µ2-OH)2] (7), and a cerium(III) complex, [CeIII(LOEt)2(H2O)2][LOEt] [8(LOEt)], whereas the cerium/sodium oxo complex 6 is stable under the same conditions. The crystal structures of 3, 4·H2O, 6, and 8(LOEt) have been determined.

RESUMEN

Reactions of [Ce(IV)(LOEt)2Cl2] (LOEt(-) = [Co(η(5)-C5H5){P(O)(OEt)2}3](-)) and [Ce(µ-O){N(Pr(i)2PO)2}4Cl2] with PhIO afford the λ3-iodane complexes [Ce(IV)(LOEt)2{OI(Cl)Ph}2] and [Ce{N(Pr(i)2PO)2}3{OI(Cl)Ph}], respectively, whereas that between [Ce(IV)(LOEt)2Cl2] and PhIO2 or excess PhIO yields the λ5-iodane adduct [Ce(IV)(LOEt)2{OI(O)ClPh}2]. The crystal structures of the Ce(IV)λ3- and λ5-iodane complexes have been determined and their oxo transfer reactivities have been investigated.

RESUMEN

A tetranuclear Ce(IV) oxo cluster compound containing the Kläui tripodal ligand [Co(η(5) -C5 H5 ){P(O)(OEt)2 }3 ](-) (LOEt (-) ) has been synthesized and its reactions with H2 O2 , CO2 , NO, and Brønsted acids have been studied. The treatment of [Ce(LOEt )(NO3 )3 ] with Et4 NOH in acetonitrile afforded the tetranuclear Ce(IV) oxo cluster [Ce4 (LOEt )4 O7 H2 ] (1) containing an adamantane-like {Ce4 (µ2 -O)6 } core with a µ4 -oxo ligand at the center. The reaction of 1 with H2 O2 resulted in the formation of the peroxo cluster [Ce4 (LOEt )4 (µ4 -O)(µ2 -O2 )4 (µ2 -OH)2 ] (2). The treatment of 1 with CO2 and NO led to isolation of [Ce(LOEt )2 (CO3 )] and [Ce(LOEt )(NO3 )3 ], respectively. The protonation of 1 with HCl, ROH (R=2,4,6-trichlorophenyl), and Ph3 SiOH yielded [Ce(LOEt )Cl3 ] (3), [Ce(LOEt )(OR)3 ] (4), and [Ce(LOEt )(OSiPh3 )3 ] (5), respectively. The chloride ligands in 3 are labile and can be abstracted by silver(I) salts. The treatment of 3 with AgOTs (OTs(-) =tosylate) and Ag2 O afforded [Ce(LOEt )(OTs)3 ] (6) and 1, respectively. The electrochemistry of the Ce-LOEt complexes has been studied by using cyclic voltammetry. The crystal structures of complexes 1-5 have been determined.

RESUMEN

Whereas terminal oxo complexes of transition and actinide elements are well documented, analogous lanthanide complexes have not been reported to date. Herein, we report the synthesis and structure of a cerium(IV) oxo complex, [CeO(LOEt )2 (H2 O)]⋅MeC(O)NH2 (1; LOEt (-) =[Co(η(5) -C5 H5 ){P(O)(OEt)2 }3 ](-) ), featuring a short CeO bond (1.857(3) Å). DFT calculations indicate that the hydrogen bond to cocrystallized acetamide plays a key role in stabilizing the CeO moiety of 1 in the solid state. Complex 1 exhibits oxidizing and nucleophilic reactivity.

RESUMEN

Heterometallic cerium(IV) perrhenate, permanganate, and molybdate complexes containing the imidodiphosphinate ligand [N(i-Pr2PO)2](-) have been synthesized, and their reactivity was investigated. Treatment of Ce[N(i-Pr2PO)2]3Cl (1) with AgMO4 (M = Re, Mn) afforded Ce[N(i-Pr2PO)2]3(ReO4) (2) or Ce2[N(i-Pr2PO)2]6(MnO4)2 (3). In the solid state, 3 is composed of a [Ce2{N(i-Pr2PO)2}6(MnO4)](+) moiety featuring a weak Ce-OMn interaction [Ce-OMn distance = 2.528(8) Å] and a noncoordinating MnO4(-) counteranion. While 3 is stable in the solid state and acetonitrile solution, it decomposes readily in other organic solvents, such as CH2Cl2. 3 can oxidize ethylbenzene to acetophenone at room temperature. Treatment of 1 with AgBF4, followed by reaction with [n-Bu4N]2[MoO4], afforded [Ce{N(i-Pr2PO)2}3]2(µ-MoO4) (4). Reaction of trans-Ce[N(i-Pr2PO)2]2(NO3)2 (5), which was prepared from (NH4)2Ce(NO3)6 and K[N(i-Pr2PO)2], with 2 equiv of [n-Bu4N][Cp*MoO3] yielded trans-Ce[N(i-Pr2PO)2]2(Cp*MoO3)2 (6). 4 can catalyze the oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide with tert-butyl hydroperoxide with high selectivity. The crystal structures of complexes 3-6 have been determined.

RESUMEN

Dinuclear Ti(IV), Zr(IV), and Ce(IV) oxo and peroxo complexes containing the imidodiphosphinate ligand [N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)](-) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Treatment of Ti(O-i-Pr)(2)Cl(2) with KN(i-Pr(2)PO)(2) afforded the Ti(IV) di-µ-oxo complex [Ti{N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)}(2)](2)(µ-O)(2) (1) that reacted with 35% H(2)O(2) to give the peroxo complex Ti[N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)](2)(η(2)-O(2)) (2). Treatment of HN(i-Pr(2)PO)(2) with Zr(O-t-Bu)(4) and Ce(2)(O-i-Pr)(8)(i-PrOH)(2) afforded the di-µ-peroxo-bridged dimers [M{N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)}(2)](2)(µ-O(2))(2) [M = Zr (3), Ce (4)]. 4 was also obtained from the reaction of Ce[N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)](3) with 35% H(2)O(2). Treatment of (Et(4)N)(2)[CeCl(6)] with 3 equiv of KN(i-Pr(2)PO)(2) afforded Ce[N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)](3)Cl (5). Reaction of (Et(4)N)(2)[CeCl(6)] with 2 equiv of KN(i-Pr(2)PO)(2) in acetonitrile, followed by treatment with Ag(2)O, afforded the µ-oxo-bridged complex [Ce{N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)}Cl](2)[µ-N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)](2)(µ-O) (6). 6 undergoes ligand redistribution in CH(2)Cl(2) in air to give 5. The solid-state structures of [K(2){N(i-Pr(2)PO)(2)}(2)(H(2)O)(8)](n) and complexes 1-6 have been determined.

RESUMEN

Bismuth(III) compounds containing the Kläui's oxygen tripodal ligand [CpCo{P(O)(OEt)(2)}(3)](-) (L(OEt)(-)) have been synthesized, and their interactions with dichromate in aqueous media were studied. The treatment of Bi(5)O(OH)(9)(NO(3))(4) with NaL(OEt) in water afforded [L(OEt)Bi(NO(3))(2)](2) (1), whereas that of BiCl(3) with NaL(OEt) in CH(2)Cl(2) yielded L(OEt)BiCl(2) (2). Chloride abstraction of 2 with AgX afforded [L(OEt)BiX(2)](2) [X(-) = triflate (OTf(-)) (3), tosylate (OTs(-)) (4)]. In aqueous solutions at pH > 4, 4 underwent ligand redistribution to give the bis(tripod) complex [(L(OEt))(2)Bi(H(2)O)][OTs] (5). The treatment of 4 with Na(2)Cr(2)O(7) in acetone/water afforded the Bi(III)/Cr(VI) oxo cluster [(L(OEt))(4)Bi(4)(µ(3)-CrO(4))(2)(µ(3)-Cr(2)O(7))(2)] (6) containing a unique Bi(4)Cr(4)O(12) oxometallic core. Compound 6 oxidized benzyl alcohol to give ca. 6 equiv of benzaldehyde. The reaction between 2 and CrO(3) yielded [L(OEt)Bi(OCrO(2)Cl)](2)(µ-Cl)(2) (7). The crystal structures of complexes 4-7 have been determined.
