The heterobimetallic complex (IPr)Cu-Fp (IPr = N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylimidazol-2-ylidene, Fp = FeCp(CO)2) was identified previously as a nonprecious metal catalyst for C–H borylation. To better understand the nature of the bimetallic reaction pathways operative in this system, we have conducted a thorough mechanistic study of alkyl halide activation by the Cu–Fe heterobimetallic reaction center. Use of cyclopropylmethyl halide substrates as radical clocks established that alkyl halide activation occurs by a two-electron mechanism for alkyl bromides and chlorides but not iodides. Eyring analysis of the activation of benzyl chloride allowed for experimental determination of activation parameters, including a large and negative entropy of activation (ΔS⧧ = −36 eu). A Hammett study with para-substituted benzyl chlorides revealed a reaction constant of ρ = 1.6, indicating accumulation of negative charge in the transition state on the alkyl halide carbon. The Ru analogue, (IPr)Cu-Rp (Rp = RuCp(CO)2), was found...
