Application of stopped flow techniques and energy dispersive EXAFS for investigation of the reactions of transition metal complexes in solution: activation of nickel beta-diketonates to form homogeneous catalysts, electron transfer reactions involving iron(III) and oxidative addition to iridium(I).

Stopped-flow techniques of rapid mixing have been combined with energy dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy to monitor the reaction of Ni(dpm)2 [dpm = Bu1C(O)CHC(O)Bu1] by aluminium alkyls (AlEt2X, X = OEt and Et) to form the active species for the catalytic di- and tri-merisation of hex-1-ene. Acquisition times down to ca. 30 ms were achieved on Station 9.3 of the SRS using a photodiode array detector. The EXAFS features of the resulting solution complexes are of the form [Ni(O-O)R)(alkene)]. In the presence of PPh3, [Ni(O-O)(R)(PPh3) appears to be the redominant type of species. The reduction of aqueous Fe(III) by hydroquinone was investigated on ID24 at the ESRF by Fe K-edge energy dispersive EXAFS with a CCD camera as detector, spectra were obtained in 1 ms or longer. No intermediate inner sphere complex was detected prior to the formation of aqueous Fe(II). Finally the oxidative addition of CH3SO3CF3 to [IrI2(CO)2]- was monitored on Station 9.3 with a silicon microstrip detector. A single acquisition of 400 micros was feasible, with spectra recorded in multiples of 1.2 ms. In that time, the first stage of the reaction had been completed, with a slower stage thereafter. The results are consistent with the two-stage ionic oxidative addition mechanism.[1]
