The preparation of benzoyl-protectcd N,N′-ethylenebis(2-mercaptopropanamide) (H₄emp) and its ligand-exchange reaction with ReO₂(en)₂Cl are described. Three diastereomers, [syn-ReO(meso-emp)]; [anti-ReO(meso-emp)]-, and a pair of cnantiomers, [ReO(rac-emp)]-, were formed due to syn and anti orientation of the two methyl groups of the ligand relative to the ReO core. The diastereomers were separated by reverse phase C₁₈ semipreparative HPLC and isolated as salts of [Ph₄As][ReO-(emp)]. The structures of [Ph₄ As][ReO(meso-emp)] were determined by single-crystal X-ray analyses. [Ph₄As][syn-ReO(mesocmp)]H₂O crystallizes in triclinic space group Pl with a = 10.326(3) Å, b = 13.672(4) A, c = 14.023(5) Å, α = 61.20(2)°, β =74.74(3)°, γ= 75.68(2)° V = 1656.6(8) ų, Z = 2, Dc = 1.676 gmL^?1, F(000) = 824 and R = 0.0329 for 5877 unique reflections. For (he complex [Ph₄As][anti-ReO(meso-emp)], the crystal data are: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 9.128(2) Å, b = 24.284(7) Å, c = 14.112(4) Å, β = 93.41(2)° V = 3122.5(15) À³, Z = 4, Dc = 1.740 gmL^?1, F(000) = 1608 and R = 0.0361 for 5487 unique reflections.

Both complexes form one‐dimensionally linked chains of [K(18‐C‐6)]⁺ cations and [M(SeCN)₄]^2— (M = Pd, Pt) anions bridged by K‐O‐K interactions between adjacent [K(18‐C‐6)]⁺ units.     

Syntheses and Reactions of Rhenium Carbamoyl Complexes of the Type (CO)4Re(NH2R)(CONHR) (R = Ethyl,Allyl or Isopropyl)

Carbamoyl complexes, (CO)₄Re(NH₂R)(CONHR)(R = ethyl, 1; R = allyl, 2; R = isopropyl, 3) were prepared by reactions of (CO)₅ReBr (or (CO)₅ReCH₂SiMe₃) with appropriate amines. Complexes 1, 2 and 3 reacted with CH₃CH₂COCl to give Re(CO)₅(NH₂R)⁺Cl^? (R = ethyl, 4; R = allyl, 5; R - isopropyl, 6). Complex 5 undergoes nucleophilic attack by KOMe to give the alkoxycarbonyl complexes (CO)₄Re(NH₂-Allyl)(COOMe), 7. Complexes 4, 5, 6 and 7 were transformed to the corresponding carbamoyl complexes by reacting with appropriate amines. The reactions between the carbamoyl complexes and R″OH/CHCl₃ in air at room temperature gave the proposed products [(CO)₄Re(NH₂R)]₂O (R = allyl, 8; R = isopropyl, 9), respectively. Complex 8 can also be prepared by heating 7 in CDCl₃ at 63–68°C for several days. The structure of 1 was confirmed by a X-ray crystallographic study. Crystallographic data: space group P2₁/c, a = 8.193 (3) Å, b = 19.273 (3) Å, c = 9.348 (8) Å, β = 110.37 (4)°, V = 1383.68 ų, Z = 4; R(F) = 0.027, R_w(F) = 0.030, based on 1888 reflections with I > 2.5σ(I). The other complexes were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³CNMR, IR and mass spectra.     

Adducts of Cyclodiphosph(V)azenes: Synthesis and Structure

The reaction of Ph₂PCl and PhPCl₂ with bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfur diimide in the presence of GaCl₃ and AlCl₃ yields diadducts of the corresponding cyclodiphosph(V)azene: [Ph₂PN]₂·(GaCl₃)₂ ( 1 ), [Ph₂PN]₂·(AlCl₃)₂ ( 2 ), and [Ph(Cl)PN]₂·(AlCl₃)₂ ( 3 ). This reaction is triggered by Lewis acids, which catalyse the (CH₃)₃Si‐Cl and S₈ elimination. The structures of 1· 2 CH₂Cl₂, 2· 2 CH₂Cl₂ and 3 were determined by single crystal X‐ray studies ( 1 : triclinic, , a = 9.679(2) Å, b = 9.863(2) Å, c = 11.366(2) Å, α = 113.55(3)°; β = 99.59(3)°; γ = 106.67(3)°; V = 902.8(3) ų, Z = 1; 2 : triclinic, , a = 9.639(2) Å, b = 9.804(2) Å, c = 11.321(2) Å, α = 113.71(3)°; β = 99.44(3)°; γ = 106.70(3)°; V = 889.3(3) ų, Z = 1; 3 : orthorhombic, Pbca, a = 14.853(3) Å, b = 9.261(2) Å, c = 16.631(3) Å, V = 2287.7(8) ų, Z = 4.     

Crystal structure of the solid solution of 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)propane and its phosphine oxide analogs

The crystal and molecular structure of the solid solution of 1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)propane and its phosphine oxide analogs C₄₂H₄₁O_0.64P₃ (I) was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis; space group P1, a = 10.945(3), b = 11.277(2), c = 15.985(6) Å, α = 76.10(2), β = 72.03(2), γ = 71.71(2)°, Z = 2. Structure I was solved by direct methods and refined by the full-matrix least-squares procedure in an anisotropic approximation to R = 0.045 for all 5227 unique measured reflections (CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, λCuK_α). Low-occupied phosphoryl O sites are found near each of the three P atoms in structure I. The total occupancy of the three O sites is 0.64(1), from which it follows that the contents of the - CH₂PPh₂ and - CH₂P(O)Ph₂ fragments in I are 78.6 and 21.4%, respectively. In averaged (mixed) molecule I, all P=O bonds were obtained effectively shortened, and the average P-C bonds P-C(sp³) and P-C(ar) equal 1.846 and 1.834 Å, respectively.
