Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal complex preparation technology, specifically relating to sulfur / carbon ligand-bridged bimetallic complexes, their preparation methods, and their application in the dehalogenation of chloro / bromoalkanes into the corresponding alkanes or olefins. Background Technology

[0002] Chloroalkanes (CHPs) are important industrial solvents, adhesive components, and intermediates in organic synthesis, and are produced and used extensively worldwide. However, due to storage leaks and industrial wastewater discharges, they have become the most frequently detected volatile CHP pollutants in groundwater and soil. How to efficiently and environmentally convert waste or low-value CHPs into usable carbon sources has become a research hotspot in the field of green chemistry.

[0003] Transition metals have empty d orbitals, which can coordinate with the lone pairs of electrons of halogen atoms and the σ orbitals of C–X bonds. Through steps such as oxidative addition, metal–halogen bond formation, reductive elimination, and single electron transfer, the activation energy of C–X bond breaking is significantly reduced, enabling dehalogenation, degradation, and functional group transformation reactions that are originally difficult to occur to proceed efficiently under mild conditions.

[0004] Currently, dehalogenation methods for chloro / bromoalkanes mainly include catalytic hydrodehalogenation, reductive elimination reactions, and photocatalytic degradation. Most of these reactions rely on noble metals or electron-rich transition metal systems and are highly dependent on the synergistic effect of electron-donating ligands and reducing agents. The reaction conditions are harsh, and complete dehalogenation of chloro / bromoalkanes is difficult to achieve. Chem. Rev. 2019, 119 , 4471–4568; Chem. Soc. Rev. 2024, 53 , 263–316; Nature Water 2025, 3 , 1208–1218; Interdisciplinary Toxicol. 2016, 9 , 90–100; J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118 , 3029–3030; Organometallics 2015, 34 , 2255–2260.)

Complex A (99.2 mg, 0.20 mmol), HBF4·Et2O (96 mg, 0.20 mmol), and other compounds were added. 0.60 mmol) of methane and dichloromethane / dibromomethane (5 mL) were added to a Schlenk flask. After the reaction was completed, 1.00 mL of gas was quantitatively extracted from the top of the flask through the gas sampling port. The product was identified as methane by Agilent gas chromatograph. The yield of methane was calculated to be 0.052 mmol according to the standard curve, with a yield of 52%.

[0029] Example 8: Complex A activates 1,2-dichloroethane to produce ethylene. Complex A (49.6 mg, 0.10 mmol), HBF4·Et2O (16... 0.10 mmol) of 1,2-dichloroethane and 5 mL of ethylene were added to a Schlenk flask. After the reaction was completed, 1.00 mL of gas was quantitatively extracted from the top of the flask through the gas sampling port. The product was identified as ethylene by Agilent gas chromatograph. The yield of ethylene was calculated to be 0.078 mmol according to the standard curve, with a yield of 78%.

[0030] Example 9: Complex B activates dichloromethane / dibromomethane to produce methane. Complex A (49.6 mg, 0.10 mmol), HBF4·Et2O (48 mg, 0.10 mmol) were added.

The product was identified as methane by Agilent gas chromatograph. The yield of methane was calculated to be 0.029 mmol according to the standard curve, with a yield of 58%.

[0031] Example 10: Complex B activates 1,2-dichloroethane to produce ethylene. Complex B (99.2 mg, 0.20 mmol), HBF4·Et2O (32 mg, 0.20 mmol) were added. 0.20 mmol) and 1,2-dichloroethane (5 mL) were added to a Schlenk flask.

The product was identified as ethylene by Agilent gas chromatograph. The yield of ethylene was calculated to be 0.146 mmol according to the standard curve, with a yield of 73%.

[0032] Under mild conditions (e.g., <200°C, atmospheric pressure), the C–Cl bond activation of dichloromethane typically leads to non-selective conversions of alkanes and alkenes, while direct deep hydrogenation and dechlorination to methane often results in low selectivity (<30%). Therefore, the methane selectivity of Examples 7-10 is significantly higher than typical values, representing a major breakthrough.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
