Definitions
- the present invention relates, inter alia, to methodologies for the synthesis, screening and characterization of organometallic compounds and catalysts.
- the methods of the present invention provide for the combinatorial synthesis, screening and characterization of libraries of supported and unsupported organometallic compounds and catalysts.
- the methods of the present invention can be applied to the preparation and screening of large numbers of organometallic compounds which can be used not only as catalysts (e.g. , homogeneous catalysts), but also as additives and therapeutic agents.
- Ancillary ligand-stabilized metal complexes are useful as catalysts, additives, stoichiometric reagents, monomers, solid state precursors, therapeutic reagents and drugs.
- the ancillary ligand system comprises organic substiruents, bind to the metal center(s), remain associated with the metal center(s), and therefore provide an opportunity to modify the shape, electronic and chemical properties of the active metal center(s) of the organometallic complex.
- Organometallic complexes are catalysts for reactions such as oxidation, reduction, hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, hydrocyanation, hydroformylation, polymerization, carbonylation, isomerization, metathesis, carbon-hydrogen activation, cross coupling, Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation, hydration, dimerization, trimerization and Diels- Alder reactions.
- Organometallic complexes can be prepared by combining an ancillary ligand precursor with a suitable metal precursor in a suitable solvent at a suitable temperature.
- the yield ACTIVITY AND SELECTIVITY of the targeted organometallic complex is dependent on a variety of factors including the form of the ancillary ligand precursor, the choice of the metal precursor, the reaction conditions (e.g. , solvent, temperature, time, etc.) and the stability of the desired product.
- the resulting organometallic complex is inactive as a catalyst until it is "activated” by a third component or cocatalyst.
- third component "modifiers" are added to active catalysts to improve performance.
- the effectiveness of the cocatalyst, the type and amount of modifier, and the suitability of the ancillary ligand precursor, metal precursor and reaction conditions to form an effective catalyst species in high yield are unpredictable from first principles. Given the number of variables involved and the lack of theoretical capability, it is not surprising that the discovery and optimization of catalysts is laborious and inefficient.
- the active site typically comprises an ancillary ligand-stabilized coordinatively unsaturated transition metal alkyl complex.
- Such catalysts are often prepared by the reaction of two components.
- the first component is an ancillary ligand- stabilized transition metal complex having a relatively low coordination number (typically between three and four).
- the second component known as the activator or cocatalyst, is either an alkylating agent, a Lewis acid capable of abstracting a negatively charged leaving group ligand from the first component, an ion-exchange reagent comprising a compatible non-coordinating anion or a combination thereof.
- organometallic catalysts Although a variety of organometallic catalysts have been discovered over the past 15 years, this discovery is a laborious process which consists of synthesizing individual potentially catalytic materials and subsequently screening them for catalytic activity.
- the development of a more efficient, economical and systematic approach for the synthesis of novel organometallic catalysts and for the screening of such catalysts for useful properties would represent a significant advance over the current state of the art.
- a particularly promising method for simplifying the discovery process would rely on methods of producing combinatorial libraries of ligands and catalysts and screening the compounds within those libraries for catalytic activity using an efficient parallel or rapid serial detection method.
- the Pirrung, et al. method is a sequential, step-wise process utilizing attachment, masking, deprotecting, attachment, etc.
- Such techniques have been used to generate libraries of biological polymers and small organic molecules to screen for their ability to specifically bind and block biological receptors (i.e. , protein, DNA, etc.).

- NCA Non-coordinating Anions
- Catalyst refers to a compound which speeds a chemical reaction or causes it to occur.
- the catalysts of the present invention are formally organometallic compounds. Certain of the organometallic compounds of the invention will require “activation” prior to being catalytically active. Other organometallic compounds of the invention will be “activator-free catalysts” and will not require activation prior to being catalytically active.
- Ligands Organometallic compounds are conventionally formulated as comprising a central metal atom or ion surrounded by and bonded to other atoms, ions, or small molecules known as "ligands". Ligands are either organic (e.g. , '-aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cyclopentadienyl, CO, alkylidene, carbene) or inorganic (e.g. , Br , Cl , OH , NO 2" , etc.), and can be charged or neutral.
- the number of times an inorganic or organic moiety occurs as a ligand in a metallic complex is generally indicated by the prefixes di, tri, tetra, etc. Multiple occurrences of complex organic ligands are indicated by the prefixes bis, tris, tetrakis, etc.
- ancillary ligand is distinguished from a “leaving group ligand. " An ancillary ligand will remain associated with the metal center(s) as an integral constituent of the catalyst or organometallic compound. Ancillary ligands are defined according to the number of coordination sites they occupy and their formal charge.
- a leaving group ligand is a ligand which is replaced in a ligand substitution reaction. A leaving group ligand can be replaced with an ancillary ligand or an activator component.
- the Cp-ligand is considered to occupy 1 -coordination site.
- the Cp-ligand will formally be considered to occupy 1 -coordination site on the metal complex.
- Activator In general, activators are used in the synthesis of various catalysts. Activators render a metallic center active as a catalyst and can be, for example, a chemical or an energy source which renders a metal center active and which, in certain embodiments, is directed from a source to a catalyst precursor which is located at a defined region on a substrate.
- an activator is a chemical reagent which converts a metal complex into an olefin polymerization catalyst
- the activator will generally fall into one of two broad classes of agents: (1) alkylating agents; and (2) ionizing agents.
- Alkylating agents as used herein, define agents which function by exchanging unreactive ligands, such as, for example, halide or alkoxide, for reactive ⁇ -bonded alkyl groups, such as, for example, methyl or ethyl groups.
- unreactive ligands such as, for example, halide or alkoxide
- reactive ⁇ -bonded alkyl groups such as, for example, methyl or ethyl groups.
- activation by alkylation works in systems where the metal center of the catalyst precursor is highly coordinatively unsaturated and does not require further reduction of coordination number to function as a catalyst; however, this mode of activation is not limited to such metal centers.
- “Ionizing agents” function as activators by reducing the coordination number of the
- Lewis acids function by abstracting a leaving group ligand from the metal center to form a compatible non-coordinating anion ("NCA" which is comprised of the leaving group ligand and the Lewis acid) and a coordinatively unsaturated active transition metal cation.
- NCA compatible non-coordinating anion
- Ion-exchange activators deliver to the catalyst precursor a preformed compatible non-coordinating anion and accept from the catalyst precursor a coordinating anion (such as a methyl or halide group). Ion-exchange activators have the general formula Q + NCA , wherein Q + is a reactive cation and NCA " is a compatible non- coordinating anion.
- the Lewis acids and ion exchange activators of use with the present invention include both soluble and supported (e.g. , silica resin bound) Lewis acids and ion exchangers.
- activation can also be accomplished by Lewis acid or ion- exchange agents.
- Lewis acid For example, consider two possible chemical pathways leading to the synthesis of the catalyst, [Cp 2 ZrCH 3 ] + [B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 CH 3 ]-, where [B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 CH 3 j is the "compatible non-coordinating anion" or "counter- ion".
- the catalyst precursor is [Cp 2 Zr(CH 3 )J and the activator is [B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ] .
- the catalyst precursor is [Cp 2 Zr(CH 3 ) 2 ] and the activator is [Ph 3 C] + [B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 CH 3 ]-.
- Compatible non-coordinating anion is an anion that either does not coordinate to the metal cation, or is only weakly coordinated to the metal cation such that it remains sufficiently labile to be displaced by a neutral Lewis base or the molecule being transformed in the catalytic cycle.
- compatible non-coordinating anion specifically refers to an anion which when functioning as a stabilizing anion in the catalyst system of this invention does not transfer an anionic fragment to the metal cation to form inactive neutral products.

Methods for measuring catalytic activity and specificity may involve, for example, direct measurement of product concentrations or indirect measurement of the heat of reaction. Parallel screening methods have the common approach of integrating position sensitive photon detectors into the measurement system while the serial methods rely on controlled scanning of the library or detector/ source relative to one another.
- each of the compounds within an array is measured using one or more of several optical, thermal, or mass spectral techniques.

- Selectivity measurements within a combinatorial array of catalysts are measured using techniques such as ultraviolet/visible/infrared imaging and/or spectroscopy, chromatography, or mass spectrometry.

- Such a system can be enhanced using laser deso ⁇ tion techniques which vaporize liquid, bound reactants and/or products in a spatially localized format and facilitate the intake of chemicals in the scanning mass spectrometry measurement system.
- Optical methods are used for activity and selectivity characterization. Infrared spectroscopy or spectroscopic imaging is used to monitor the relative concentration of end groups, and saturated backbone monomer units along a polymer chain on a polymer. In this manner, the average molecular weight and average composition of a copolymer in a library element can be estimated.
- UV/visible spectroscopic techniques are used, for example, in the analysis of reactions involving compounds with a suitable chromophore (e.g. , aromatic and unsaturated compounds). Another example is the partial oxidation of benzene into phenol which leads to different electronic abso ⁇ tion spectra for the product. In this case, benzene provides a distinct spectroscopic finge ⁇ rint from phenol, and, thus, the relative amounts of each compound can be measured using UV/visible spectroscopy.
- Rapid chromatographic analysis of reactants and products are used to assay in parallel product conversion, product identity, isomeric purity, etc. Also, flow rates through vertical tubes of product polymer solutions are used to gauge the viscosity and hence the molecular weight of the polymer when polymerization reactions are effected.

The resin immediately turned dark blue. After stirring for 1 hr, ethylene gas was bubbled through the suspension for 1 min and then the reaction vessel was sealed to a pressure of 5 psi. An internal thermocouple measured a 3°C exotherm over a 45 min period. After stirring for an additional 1.5 hr, the temperature slowly dropped back to room temperature and the solution was filtered and the beads were washed with toluene (3 x 10 ml).
