Abstract:
The preparation of novel chiral λ3-iodane reagents bearing transferable halogen-, oxygen- or carbon-based ligands is described. Among these hypervalent iodine(III)-based compounds are (i) the first chiral bis(cyano-λ3-iodane), whose bis(benziodazolone) structure is derived from an enantiopure cyclohexyldiamine-based bis(amidoiodoarene), and (ii) the two first chiral benziodoxolones bearing a carbon-based ligand (i.e., cyano and trifluoromethyl groups) together with a lactate moiety ortho-positioned to the iodine(III) atom. The proposed iodine-containing heterocyclic structures of these new λ3-iodanes are supported by x-ray diffraction analyses and DFT calculations. Their capacity to transfer their ligand(s) in an asymmetric fashion to different substrates (i.e., β-ketoesters, naphthols, and oxindoles) was also examined.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
