The invention provides a low-valence
metal complex with a stable N-heterocyclic
germanium carbene ligand as well as a preparation method and application of the low-valence
metal complex, and belongs to the technical field of
metal organic chemistry. According to the low-valence metal complex, aza-
germanium ring
carbene is taken as a center, and a series of metal complexes are obtained by changing different
substituent groups and different metals on a central ligand. The preparation method comprises the following steps: uniformly mixing an NHGe ligand, a metal precursor and DMA, and stirring and reacting at 60 DEG C for 24 hours to obtain the low-valence metal complex with the stable N-heterocyclic
germanium carbene ligand. The preparation
route is simple, the production efficiency is high, when a
substituent group with large steric hindrance and strong
electron donating is introduced to the ligand, the
electron donating ability of the ligand can be improved, the
oxidative addition ability of metal to
inert bonds can be promoted, meanwhile, the reduction
elimination ability of the metal can be promoted, the method can be used in cross
coupling reaction, efficient activation of phenolic derivatives is achieved, and the method is suitable for industrial production. And the catalyst has higher
catalytic efficiency.
