Bite angle

</h1>

</header>

In <a href="Coordination_chemistry" class="mw-redirect" title="Coordination chemistry">coordination chemistry</a>, the bite angle is the angle on a central atom between two bonds to a <a href="Bidentate" class="mw-redirect" title="Bidentate">bidentate</a> ligand. This <a href="Ligand" title="Ligand">ligand</a>–metal–ligand geometric parameter is used to classify <a href="Chelation" title="Chelation">chelating</a> ligands, including those in <a href="Organometallic" class="mw-redirect" title="Organometallic">organometallic</a> complexes. It is most often discussed in terms of <a href="Catalysis" title="Catalysis">catalysis</a>, as changes in bite angle can affect not just the activity and selectivity of a catalytic reaction but even allow alternative reaction pathways to become accessible.<a href="#cite_note-general_rev1-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-P_rev1-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-P_rev2-3">[3]</a>

Although the parameter can be applied generally to any chelating ligand, it is commonly applied to describe <a href="Diphosphine_ligand" class="mw-redirect" title="Diphosphine ligand">diphosphine ligands</a>, as they can adopt a wide range of bite angles.<a href="#cite_note-P_rev1-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-P_rev2-3">[3]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Diamines">Diamines</h2></div>

Diamines form a wide range of <a href="Coordination_complex" title="Coordination complex">coordination complexes</a>. They typically form 5- and 6-membered chelate rings. Examples of the former include <a href="Ethylenediamine" title="Ethylenediamine">ethylenediamine</a> and <a href="2%2C2'-bipyridine" class="mw-redirect" title="2,2'-bipyridine">2,2′-bipyridine</a>. Six-membered chelate rings are formed by <a href="1%2C3-diaminopropane" class="mw-redirect" title="1,3-diaminopropane">1,3-diaminopropane</a>. The bite angle in such complexes is usually near 90°. Longer chain diamines, which are "floppy", tend not to form chelate rings.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

Diphosphines are a class of chelating ligands that contain two phosphine groups connected by a bridge (also referred to as a backbone). The bridge, for instance, might consist of one or more methylene groups or multiple <a href="Aromatic" class="mw-redirect" title="Aromatic">aromatic</a> rings with heteroatoms attached. Examples of common diphosphines are <a href="Dppe" class="mw-redirect" title="Dppe">dppe</a>, dcpm (Figure 1), and <a href="DPEphos" title="DPEphos">DPEphos</a> (Figure 2). The structure of the backbone and the substituents attached to the phosphorus atoms influence the chemical reactivity of the diphosphine ligand in metal complexes through steric and <a href="Electronic_effect" title="Electronic effect">electronic effects</a>.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Examples">Examples</h3></div>

Steric characteristics of the diphosphine ligand that influence the regioselectivity and rate of catalysis include the pocket angle, solid angle, repulsive energy, and accessible molecular surface.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> Also of importance is the <a href="Cone_angle" class="mw-redirect" title="Cone angle">cone angle</a>, which in diphosphines is defined as the average of the cone angle for the two substituents attached to the phosphorus atoms, the bisector of the P–M–P angle, and the angle between each M–P bond.<a href="#cite_note-ref5-7">[7]</a> Larger cone angles usually result in faster dissociation of phosphine ligands because of steric crowding.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_natural_bite_angle">The natural bite angle</h2></div>

The natural bite angle (βn) of diphosphines, obtained using <a href="Molecular_mechanics" title="Molecular mechanics">molecular mechanics</a> calculations, is defined as the preferred chelation angle determined only by ligand backbone and not by metal valence angles (Figure 3).<a href="#cite_note-general_rev1-1">[1]</a>

Both steric bite angle effect and the electronic bite angle effects are recognized.<a href="#cite_note-ref5-7">[7]</a> The steric bite angle effect involves the steric interactions between ligands or between a ligand and a substrate. The electronic bite angle effect, on the other hand, relates to the electronic changes that occur when the bite angle is modified. This effect is sensitive to the hybridization of metal orbitals.<a href="#cite_note-ref7-8">[8]</a> This flexibility range accounts for the diverse conformations of the ligand with energies slightly above the strain energy of the natural bite angle.

The bite angle of a diphosphine ligand also indicates the distortion from the ideal geometry of a complex based on <a href="VSEPR_theory" title="VSEPR theory">VSEPR</a> models. Octahedral and square planar complexes prefer angles near 90° while tetrahedral complexes prefer angles near 110°. Since catalysts often interconvert between various geometries, the rigidity of the chelate ring can be decisive.<a href="#cite_note-ref7-8">[8]</a> A bidentate phosphine with a natural bite angle of 120° may preferentially occupy two equatorial sites in a trigonal bipyramidal complex whereas a bidentate phosphine with a natural bite angle of 90° may preferentially occupy apical-equatorial positions.<a href="#cite_note-ref4-9">[9]</a> Diphosphine ligands with bite angles of over 120° are obtained using a bulky, stiff diphosphine backbones.<a href="#cite_note-ref7-8">[8]</a> Diphosphines of wide bite angles are used in some industrial processes.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="A_case_study:_hydroformylation">A case study: hydroformylation</h2></div>

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="Hydroformylation" title="Hydroformylation">Hydroformylation</a></div>

The hydroformylation of alkenes to give aldehydes is an important industrial process. Almost 6 million tons of aldehydes are produced by this method annually.<a href="#cite_note-ref4-9">[9]</a>

Rhodium complexes containing diphosphine ligands are active hydroformylation catalysts.

The ratio of linear to branched aldehyde product depends on the structure of the catalyst.<a href="#cite_note-ref4-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a>

One intermediate, [Rh(H)(alkene)(CO)L], exists in two different isomers, depending on the position of phosphine ligands (Figure 4).<a href="#cite_note-ref4-9">[9]</a>

Diphosphine ligands such as dppe, which has a bite angle of about 90°, span the equatorial and apical positions (AE isomer). Diphosphines with larger bite angles (above 120°) preferentially occupy a pair of equatorial positions (EE isomer). It is believed that the EE isomer favors formation of linear aldehydes, the desired product. In an effort to create rhodium complexes in which the phosphine ligands preferentially occupy the equatorial positions, the use of diphosphine ligands with wide bite angles such as BISBI (Figure 5) has been investigated.

With a bite angle of approximately 113°, BISBI spans sites on equatorial plane of the trigonal bipyramidal intermediate complex (Figure 6).<a href="#cite_note-ref7-8">[8]</a>

The structure of the intermediate [Rh(H)(diphosphine)(CO)2] does not however determine the regioselectivity of the hydroformylation. Instead, the formation of the linear vs. branched aldehydes is determined upon formation of [Rh(H)(diphosphine)CO(alkene)] and the subsequent hydride migration step. The bite angle affect the steric crowding at the Rh atom that results from the interactions of the bulky backbone of the ligand with substrate. The wide bite angle that results from the backbone allows the five-coordinate [Rh(H)(diphosphine)CO(alkene)] intermediate to adopt a structure that relieves steric hindrance. Thus, BISBI occupies the equatorial positions, where it has the most space. This preference of a <a href="Transition_state" title="Transition state">transition state</a> that relieves steric hindrance favors the formation of the linear aldehyde. The regioselectivity is also controlled by the hydride migration, which is usually irreversible in the formation of linear aldehydes.<a href="#cite_note-ref7-8">[8]</a>

Furthermore, studies using <a href="Xantphos" title="Xantphos">Xantphos</a> ligands (ligands with bulky backbones) in hydroformylation have indicated an increase in the rate of catalysis in metal complexes that contain diphosphine ligands with larger bite angles.<a href="#cite_note-ref7-8">[8]</a> The electronic effect of this increase in reaction rate is uncertain since it mainly depends on the bonding between the alkene and rhodium.<a href="#cite_note-ref4-9">[9]</a> Large bite angles promote alkene to rhodium electron donation, which results in an accumulation of electron density on the rhodium atom. This increased electron density would be available for π-donation into the anti-bonding orbitals of other ligands, which could weaken other M-L bonds within the catalyst, leading to higher rates.

The application of diphosphine ligands to catalysts is not limited to the process of hydroformylation. <a href="Hydrocyanation" title="Hydrocyanation">Hydrocyanation</a> and <a href="Hydrogenation" title="Hydrogenation">hydrogenation</a> reactions also implement phosphine-mediated catalysts.
