The comparison of ^13C NMR spectrum of tlie complex in solid state with that in solution indicated that the rapid exchange between the bridging [μ2-（C6H4O2]^2- and terminal [C6H4OOH]^- ligands was present in solution.     

Reactive intermediates relevant to the carbonylation of CH(3)Mn(CO)(5). Activation parameters for key dynamic processes

Reported is a time-resolved infrared and optical kinetics investigation of the transient species CH(3)C(O)Mn(CO)(4) (I(Mn)) generated by flash photolysis of the acetyl manganese pentacarbonyl complex CH(3)C(O)Mn(CO)(5) (A(Mn)) in cyclohexane and in tetrahydrofuran. Activation parameters were determined for CO trapping of I(Mn) to regenerate A(Mn) (rate = k(CO) [CO][I(Mn)]) as well as the methyl migration pathway to form methylmanganese pentacarbonyl CH(3)Mn(CO)(5) (M(Mn)) (rate = k(M)[I(Mn)]). These values were Delta H(++)(CO) = 31 +/- 1 kJ mol(-1), Delta S(++)(CO) = -64 +/- 3 J mol(-1) K(-1), Delta H(++)(M) = 35 +/- 1 kJ mol(-1), and Delta S(++)(M) = -111 +/- 3 J mol(-1) K(-1). Substantially different activation parameters were found for the methyl migration kinetics of I(Mn) in THF solutions where Delta H(++)(M) = 68 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1) and Delta S(++)(M) = 10 +/- 10 J mol(-1) K(-1), consistent with the earlier conclusion (Boese, W. T.; Ford, P. C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 8381-8391) that the composition of I(Mn) is different in these two media. The possible isotope effect on k(M) was also evaluated by studying the intermediates generated from flash photolysis of CD(3)C(O)Mn(CO)(5) in cyclohexane, but this was found to be nearly negligible (k(M)(h)/k(M)(d) (298 K) = 0.97 +/- 0.05, Delta H(++)(M)(d) = 37 +/- 4 kJ mol(-1), and Delta S(++)(M)(d) = -104 +/- 12 J mol(-1) K(-1)). The relevance to the migratory insertion mechanism of CH(3)Mn(CO)(5), a model for catalytic carbonylations, is discussed.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and magnetic properties of novel Mn(II) and Zn(II) materials with thiolato-carboxylate donor ligand frameworks

The hydrothermal reaction of thiosalicylic acid, (C(6)H(4)(CO(2)H)(SH)-1,2) with manganese(III) acetate leads to formation of the coordination solid [Mn(5)((C(6)H(4)(CO(2))(S)-1,2)(2))(4)(mu3-OH)2] (1) via a redox reaction, where resulting manganese(II) centres are coordinated by oxygen donor atoms and S-S disulfide bridge formation is simultaneously observed. Reaction of the same ligand under similar conditions with zinc(II) chloride yields the layered coordination solid [Zn(C(6)H(4)(CO(2))(S)-1,2)] (2). Hydrothermal treatment of manganese(III) acetate with 2-mercaptonicotinic acid, (NC(5)H(3)(SH)(CO(2)H)-2,3) was found to produce the 1-dimensional chain structure [Mn(2)((NC(5)H(3)(S)(CO(2))-2,3)(2))(2)(OH(2))(4)].4H(2)O (3) which also exhibits disulfide bridge formation and oxygen-only metal interactions. Compound 3 has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis and indicates sequential loss of lattice and coordinated water, prior to more comprehensive ligand fragmentation at elevated temperatures. The magnetic behaviour of 1 and 3 has been investigated and both exhibit antiferromagnetic interactions. The magnetic behaviour of 1 has been modelled as two corner-sharing isosceles triangles whilst 3 has been modelled as a 1-dimensional chain.     

Subtle reactivity patterns of non-heteroatom-substituted manganese alkynyl carbene complexes in the presence of phosphorus probes

The non-heteroatom-substituted manganese alkynyl carbene complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2Mn=C(R)C[triple bond]CR'(3; 3a: R = R'= Ph, 3b: R = Ph, R'= Tol, 3c: R = Tol, R'= Ph) have been synthesised in high yields upon treatment of the corresponding carbyne complexes [eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2Mn[triple bond]CR][BPh4]([2][BPh4]) with the appropriate alkynyllithium reagents LiC[triple bond]CR' (R'= Ph, Tol). The use of tetraphenylborate as counter anion associated with the cationic carbyne complexes has been decisive. The X-ray structures of (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2Mn=C(Tol)C[triple bond]CPh (3c), and its precursor [(eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2Mn=CTol][BPh4]([2b](BPh4]) are reported. The reactivity of complexes toward phosphines has been investigated. In the presence of PPh3, complexes act as a Michael acceptor to afford the zwitterionic sigma-allenylphosphonium complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC(R)=C=C(PPh3)R' (5) resulting from nucleophilic attack by the phosphine on the remote alkynyl carbon atom. Complexes 5 exhibit a dynamic process in solution, which has been rationalized in terms of a fast [NMR time-scale] rotation of the allene substituents around the allene axis; metrical features within the X-ray structure of (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC(Ph)=C=C(PPh3)Tol (5b) support the proposal. In the presence of PMe3, complexes undergo a nucleophilic attack on the carbene carbon atom to give zwitterionic sigma-propargylphosphonium complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC(R)(PMe3)C[triple bond]CR' (6). Complexes 6 readily isomerise in solution to give the sigma-allenylphosphonium complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC(R')=C=C(PMe3)R (7) through a 1,3 shift of the [(eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2Mn] fragment. The nucleophilic attack of PPh2Me on 3 is not selective and leads to a mixture of the sigma-propargylphosphonium complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC(R)(PPh(2)Me)C[triple bond]CR' (9) and the sigma-allenylphosphonium complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC(R)=C=C(PPh(2)Me)R' (10). Like complexes 6, complexes 9 readily isomerize to give the sigma-allenylphosphonium complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC(R')=C=C(PPh2Me)R'). Upon gentle heating, complexes 7, and mixtures of 10 and 10' cyclise to give the sigma-dihydrophospholium complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC=C(R')PMe2CH2CH(R)(8), and mixtures of complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC=C(Ph)PPh2CH2CH(Tol)(11) and (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2MnC=C(Tol)PMe2CH2CH(Ph)(11'), respectively. The reactions of complexes 3 with secondary phosphines HPR(1)(2)(R1= Ph, Cy) give a mixture of the eta2-allene complexes (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2Mn[eta2-{R(1)(2)PC(R)=C=C(R')H}](12), and the regioisomeric eta4-vinylketene complexes [eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)Mn[eta4-{R(1)(2)PC(R)=CHC(R')=C=O}](13) and (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)Mn[eta4-{R(1)(2)PC(R')=CHC(R)=C=O}](13'). The solid-state structure of (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)2Mn[eta2-{Ph2PC(Ph)=C=C(Tol)H}](12b) and (eta5-MeC5H4)(CO)Mn[eta4-{Cy2PC(Ph)=CHC(Ph)=C=O}](13d) are reported. Finally, a mechanism that may account for the formation of the species 12, 13, and 13' is proposed.     

Amino-functionalised diarylphosphide complexes of the alkali metals and lanthanum

The secondary phosphines Ar(C6H4-2-CH2NMe2)PH [Ar = mes (3), Tripp (4)] may be isolated in good yields from reactions between Li(C6H4-2-CH2NMe2) and the respective dichlorophosphine, followed by reduction with LiAlH4 [mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2, Tripp = 2,4,6-Pri3C6H2]. Metalation of either 3 or 4 with BunLi gives the corresponding lithium compound; the lithium derivative of 3 was isolated as the separated ion pair complex [Li(12-crown-4)2][(mes)(C6H4-2-CH2NMe2)P].THF (5). The lithium complexes Ar(C6H4-2-CH2NMe2)PLi undergo metathesis reactions with either NaOBut or KOBut to give the heavier alkali metal phosphides {Ar(C6H4-2-CH2NMe2)P}M.1/2OEt2 [Ar = mes, M = Na (8), K (9); Ar = Tripp, M = K (10)]. Metathesis reactions between 9 and LaI3(THF)4 give only intractable products; in contrast, a metathesis reaction between 10 and LaI3(THF)4 yields the heteroleptic complex {(Tripp)(C6H4-2-CH2NMe2)P}2LaI (11). Compound 11 reacts cleanly with K{N(SiMe3)2} to give {(Tripp)(C6H4-2-CH2NMe2)P}2La{N(SiMe3)2} (14). Compounds 3-5, 8-11 and 14 have been characterised by multi-element NMR spectroscopy; in addition, compounds 5, 11 and 14 have been studied by X-ray crystallography.     

Novel manganese(II) sulfonate-phosphonates with dinuclear, tetranuclear, and hexanuclear clusters

Hydrothermal reactions of manganese(II) salts with m-sulfophenylphosphonic acid (m-HO3S-Ph-PO3H2, H3L) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) led to six novel manganese(II) sulfonate-phosphonates, namely, [Mn2(HL)2(phen)4][Mn2(HL)2(phen)4(H2O)](2).6H2O (1), [Mn4(L)2(phen)8(H2O)2][ClO4](2).3H2O (2), [Mn(phen)(H2O)4]2[Mn4(L)4(phen)4].10H2O (3), [Mn6(L)4(phen)8(H2O)2].4H2O (4), [Mn6(L)4(phen)8(H2O)2].24H2O (5), and [Mn6(L)4(phen)6(H2O)4].5H2O (6). The structure of 1 contains two types of dinuclear manganese(II) clusters, and 2-3 exhibit two types of tetranuclear manganese(II) cluster units. 4-5 feature two different types of isolated hexanuclear manganese(II) clusters, whereas the hexanuclear manganese(II) clusters in 6 are bridged by sulfonate-phosphonate ligands into a 1D chain. Magnetic property measurements indicate that there exist weak antiferromagnetic interactions between magnetic centers in all six compounds.     

[Mn3O(O2CC6H5)6(C3H4N2)3]·C6H5CO2·0.5H2O的 合成、晶体结构及磁性质

Adamantanes, nortricyclenes, and dendrimers with extended silicon backbones

By reaction of the hexabromoheptasilane MeSi(SiMe(2)SiMeBr(2))(3) (1 a) with H(2)O, H(2)S, NH(3), and H(2)NMe the heptasilaadamantanes MeSi(SiMe(2)SiMeO)(3) (4), MeSi(SiMe(2)SiMeS)(3) (5), MeSi(SiMe(2)SiMeNH)(3) (6 a), and MeSi(SiMe(2)SiMeNMe)(3) (6 b), respectively, were prepared in good to moderate yields. Molecular structures of 4, 5, 6 a, and 6 b were determined by X-ray crystallography. The symmetry of the cages is approximately C(3v), and the geometry around the nitrogen atoms is essentially planar. Ab initio SCF/HF calculations with the 6-31G* basis set confirm these results. Reduction of MeSi(SiMe(2)SitBuBr(2))(3) (1 b) with lithium naphthalenide afforded the heptasilanortricyclene MeSi(SiMe(2)SitBu)(3) (7). The (29)Si NMR spectrum of 7 consists of three signals with chemical shifts that agree closely with values predicted by ab initio calculations. (29)Si INADEQUATE spectra also strongly support the nortricyclene structure. Ab initio SCF/HF calculations were performed for the parent molecule Si(7)H(10), and the ring strain of the cage was estimated as 168.8 kJ mol(-1) by using the homodesmic reaction Si(7)H(10) + 3 Si(2)H(6)-->Si(13)H(28). Compound 1 a also served as the starting material for the preparation of first-generation dendrimer 2 a by reaction with six equivalents of Ph(2)MeSiLi. Subsequent protodearylation with HBr and reaction with (Me(2)PhSi)(2)SiMeK afforded second-generation dendrimer 3. All dendrimers were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.     

Unsaturation and variable hapticity in binuclear azulene manganese carbonyl complexes

Azulene is reported to react with Mn(2)(CO)(10) to give trans-C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(6), which has been shown by X-ray crystallography to have a bis(pentahapto) structure with no metal-metal bond. This structure is found by density functional theory to be the lowest energy C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(6) structure. However, a corresponding bis(pentahapto) cis-C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(6) structure, also without an Mn···Mn bond, lies within ~1 kcal mol(-1) of this global minimum. The lowest energy C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(5) structure is singlet cis-η(5),η(5)-C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(5) with an Mn→Mn dative bond from the Mn(CO)(3) group to the Mn(CO)(2) group. However, a singlet cis-η(6),η(4)-C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(5) structure with a normal Mn-Mn single bond lies within ~6 kcal mol(-1) of this global minimum. The lowest energy structures of the more highly unsaturated C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(n) (n = 4, 3, 2) systems all have cis geometries and manganese-manganese bonds of various orders. The corresponding global minima are triplet cis-η(5),η(3)-C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(3)(η(2)-μ-CO) for the tetracarbonyl with a four-electron donor bridging carbonyl group, singlet cis-η(5),η(5)-C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(3) for the tricarbonyl, and triplet cis-η(6),η(4)-C(10)H(8)Mn(2)(CO)(η(2)-μ-CO) for the dicarbonyl.     

Syntheses and structural characterizations of endo-eta(1)-, exo-eta(1)-, eta(4)-, eta(5)-, and eta(6)-metallaphosphamonocarbaborane complexes derived from a versatile new polyborane ligand: exo-6-R-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(12)

Deprotonation of the phosphamonocarbaborane, exo-6-R-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(12) (R = Ph 1a or Me 1b), yields exo-6-R-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(11)(-), which when reacted with appropriate transition-metal reagents affords new metallaphosphamonocarbaborane complexes in which the metals adopt endo-eta(1), exo-eta(1), eta(4), eta(5), or eta(6) coordination geometries bonded to the formal R-arachno-PCB(8)H(11)(-), R-arachno-PCB(8)H(10)(2-), R-arachno-PCB(8)H(9)(3-), or R-nido-PCB(8)H(9)(-) ligands. The reaction of exo-6-(C(6)H(5))-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(11)(-) (1a-) with Mn(CO)(5)Br generated the eta(1)-sigma product exo-6-[Mn(CO)(5)]-endo-6-(C(6)H(5))-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(11) (2) having the [Mn(CO)(5)] fragment in the thermodynamically favored exo position at the P6 cage atom. On the other hand, reaction of 1a- with (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Fe(CO)(2)I resulted in the formation of two products, an eta(1)-sigma complex endo-6-[(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Fe(CO)(2)]-exo-6-(C(6)H(5))-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(11) (3) having the (eta(5)-C(5)H(5))Fe(CO)(2) fragment attached at the endo-P6 position and an eta(6)-closo complex, 1-(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))-2-(C(6)H(5))-closo-1,2,3-FePCB(8)H(9) (4a). Rearrangement of the endo-compound 3 to its exo-isomer 5 was observed upon photolysis of 3. Synthesis of the methyl analogue of 4a, 1-(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))-2-CH(3)-closo-1,2,3-FePCB(8)H(9) (4b), along with a double-insertion product, 1-CH(3)-2,3-(eta(5)-C(5)H(5))(2)-2,3,1,7-Fe(2)PCB(8)H(9) (6), containing two iron atoms eta(5)-coordinated to a formal R-arachno-PCB(8)H(9)(3-), was achieved by reaction of exo-6-CH(3)-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(11)(-) (1b-) with FeCl(2) and Na(+)C(5)H(5)(-). Complexes 4a and 4b can be considered ferrocene analogues, in which an Fe(II) is sandwiched between C(5)H(5)(-) and 6-R-nido-6,9-PCB(8)H(9)(-) anions. Reaction of exo-6-(C(6)H(5))-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(11)(-) (1a-) with cis-dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)platinum (II) afforded two compounds, an eta(1)-sigma complex with the metal fragment again in the endo-P6 position, endo-6-[cis-(Ph(3)P)(2)PtCl]-exo-6-(C(6)H(5))-arachno-6,7-PCB(8)H(11) (7) and an eta(4)-complex, 7-(C(6)H(5))-11-(Ph(3)P)(2)-nido-11,7,8-PtPCB(8)H(10) (8) containing the formal R-arachno-PCB(8)H(10)(2)(-) anion. The structures of compounds 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 6, 7, and 8 were crystallographically confirmed.
