铜配位聚合物[Cu(C5H6S5)(SCN)]∞的合成和结构研究(英)

The Copper(Ⅰ) supramolecular complexes of 4,5-bis(methylthio)-1,3-dithiole-2-thione (C₅H₆S₅), [Cu(C₅H₆S₅)(SCN)]_∞ 1 and [Cu(C₅H₆S₅)I]_∞ 2, have been prepared and characterized. X-ray structure analysis for complex 1 reveals that the infinite chain structure with polymeric stairs of different lengths is formed through the coordination mode (μ₃) of the thiocyanate bridges. The shorter interchain S…S contacts give rise to a three-dimensional network structure. CCDC: 215668.     

Synthesis of cationic indenyl- and fluorenyl-arene complexes of ruthenium

Interaction of [Ru(-C ₆ H ₆ )Cl ₂ ] ₂ with indenyl- or fluorenyllithium in THF gives, together with cationic benzene complexes [Ru( ⁵ -C ₉ H ₇ )(-C ₆ H ₆ )]⁺ and [Ru( ⁵ -C ₁₃ H ₉ )(-C ₆ H ₆ )]⁺, the neutral cyclohexadienyl derivatives Ru( ⁵ -C ₉ H ₆ -C ₉ H ₇ ) and Ru( ⁵ -C ₁₃ H ₉ )( ⁵ -C ₆ H ₆ -C ₁₃ H ₉ ), respectively. Interaction of the cyclohexadienyl complexes with Al ₂ O ₃ , Ph ₃ C⁺, and CF ₃ CO ₂ H has been studied. Reaction of Ru( ⁵ -C ₁₃ H ₉ )( ⁵ -C ₆ H ₇ ) with CF ₃ CO ₂ H in the presence of an arene yields cationic cyclohexadienylarene complexes: [Ru( ⁵ -C ₁₃ H ₉ )( ⁶ -arene)]⁺ (arene=C ₆ H ₆ or 1,3,5-Me ₃ C ₆ H ₃ ).A.

One-dimensional coordination polymers of Co(II) and Cd(II)-squarate with 2-methylimidazole and 4(5)-methylimidazole ligands

Two new mixed-ligand coordination polymers, {[Co(μ_1,3-sq)(H₂O)₂(2-Meim)₂]·2(2-Meim)}_n (1) and [Cd(μ_1,3-sq)(H₂O)₂(4(5)-Meim)₂]_n (2), (sq = squarate, 2-Meim = 2-methylimidazole, 4(5)-Meim = 5-methylimidazole) have been synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The spectral (IR and UV–Vis) and thermal analyses are also reported. The Co(II) and Cd(II) ions are distorted octahedrally coordinated by four oxygen atoms of two O¹–O³-bridging squarate ligands and two trans-aqua ligands, and by two nitrogen atoms of the trans-imidazole (2-Meim or 4(5)-Meim) ligands. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of one-dimensional chains of μ-1,3-squarato bridged metal(II) complex units. These chains are held together by hydrogen bonding interactions, forming three-dimensional framework.     

Cationic arene ruthenium complexes containing chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands

The monocationic chloro complexes containing chelating 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligands [(arene)Ru(N∩N)Cl]⁺ (1: arene = C₆H₆, N∩N = phen; 2: arene = C₆H₆, N∩N = 5-NO₂-phen; 3: arene = p-MeC₆H₄Prⁱ, N∩N = phen; 4: arene = p-MeC₆H₄Prⁱ, N∩N = 5-NO₂-phen; 5: arene = C₆Me₆, N∩N = phen; 6: arene = C₆Me₆, N∩N = 5-NO₂-phen; 7: arene = C₆Me₆, N∩N = 5-NH₂-phen) have been prepared and characterised as the chloride salts. Hydrolysis of these chloro complexes in aqueous solution gave, upon precipitation of silver chloride, the corresponding dicationic aqua complexes [(arene)Ru(N∩N)(OH₂)]²⁺ (8: arene = C₆H₆, N∩N = phen; 9: arene = C₆H₆, N∩N = 5-NO₂-phen; 10: arene = p-MeC₆H₄Prⁱ, N∩N = phen; 11: arene = p-MeC₆H₄Prⁱ, N∩N = 5-NO₂-phen; 12: arene = C₆Me₆, N∩N = phen; 13: arene = C₆Me₆, N∩N = 5-NO₂-phen; 14: arene = C₆Me₆, N∩N = 5-NH₂-phen), which have been isolated and characterised as the tetrafluoroborate salts. The catalytic potential of the aqua complexes 8-14 for transfer hydrogenation reactions in aqueous solution has been studied: complexes 12 and 14 catalyse the reaction of acetophenone with formic acid to give phenylethanol and carbon dioxide with turnover numbers around 200 (80 °C, 7 h). In the case of 12, it was possible to observe the postulated hydrido complex [(C₆Me₆)Ru(phen)H]⁺ (15) in the reaction with sodium borohydride; 15 has been characterised as the tetrafluoroborate salt, the isolated product [15]BF₄, however, being impure. The molecular structures of [(C₆Me₆)Ru(phen)Cl]⁺ (1) and [(C₆Me₆)Ru(phen)(OH₂)]²⁺ (12) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of [1]Cl and [12](BF₄)₂.     

Synthesis of 2-picolyl functionalized η-cyclopentadienyl derivatives of rhodium(I) and iridium(I) and preliminary study of their reaction with ruthenium(II) for assembling hetero-bimetallic complexes

The 2-picolylcyclopentadienyl derivatives of rhodium(I) and iridium(I) of formula [M{η⁵-C₅H₄(2-CH₂C₅H₄N)}(η⁴-C₈H₁₂)] (3) (M = Rh) and (4) (M = Ir) are obtained in good yields by reacting 2-picolylcyclopentadienyllithium (7) with [RhCl(η⁴-C₈H₁₂)]₂ and [IrCl(η⁴-C₈H₁₂)]₂, respectively. The corresponding dicarbonyl derivatives, [M{η⁵-C₅H₄(2-CH₂C₅H₄N)}(CO)₂] (5) (M = Rh) and 6 (M = Ir), are obtained in good yields by reacting 2-picolylcyclopentadienylthallium(I) (8) with [RhCl(CO)₂]₂ and [IrCl(C₅H₅N)(CO)₂], respectively. 5 has already been reported in the literature. The new complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, ¹H NMR, FT-IR, and UV-Vis (210-330 nm) spectroscopy. The UV-Vis spectra indicate the existence of some electronic interaction between the 2-picolinic chromophore and the cyclopentadienyl-metal moiety. The study of the electrochemical behaviour of 3-6 by cyclic voltammetry (CV) allows the interpretation of the electrode processes and gives information about the location of the redox sites. Moreover, various synthetic strategies were tested in order to try to coordinate the complexes 3-6 to a ruthenium(II) centre, but most of them failed. Instead, the hetero-bimetallic complex bis(2,2′-bipyridine)[(η⁵-2-picolylcyclopentadienyl)(η⁴-cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I)]chlororuthenium(II)-(hexafluorophosphate) (13), was obtained, although in poor yields (10%), by reacting the nitrosyl complex [RuCl(bipy)₂(NO)][PF₆]₂14 (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) first with potassium azide and then with the rhodium(I) complex 3. The analogous complex bis(2,2′-bipyridine)(2-picoline)chlororuthenium(II)-(hexafluorophosphate) (15), that carries a ruthenium-bonded 2-picoline molecule instead of 3, has prepared in the same way. 13 and 15 were characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, and ¹H NMR.     

Conversion of alkynes and nitriles into organo and organonitrogenated species at group VI and VII dinitrogen-binding metal centers. Synthesis of some vinylidene and alkynyl complexes of rhenium

Summary The reactions of phenylacetylene and other alkynes [HCCCH₂OH, HCC(CH₂)₂OH, HCCCH₂CMe ₂CH₂COCH₃, HCCSiMe ₃ andMeCCSiMe ₃], in the presence of acetonitrile or benzonitrile, with the following complexes have been investigated usually at room temperature:trans-[Mo(N₂)₂ L ₄] (L=PMe ₂ Ph),cis-[Mo(N₂)₂(PMePh ₂)₄],cis-[W(N₂)₂ L ₄],trans-[ReCl(N₂)L ₄],mer-[ReCl(N₂)(PPh ₃)L₃] {L=P(OMe)₃}, [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)L₃] and [(⁵-MeC₅H₄)Mn(CO)₂(NCMe)]. Cyclic trimerization was the main reaction detected for phenylacetylene (except for the Mn complex), although dimers, products of hydrogenation and species derived from alkyne/nitrile coupling were also formed in smaller amounts; for the Mo- or W-systems, the total yields were below ca. 40% relative to the metal, but the Re-systems exhibited a modest catalytic activity. The other alkynes underwent, also in low yields, mainly dimerization, cyclic or linear trimerization, apart from, to a smaller extent, coupling reactions with the nitriles or hydrogenation. The alkynyl complexes [ReCl(CCPh) {P(O) (OMe)₂}(PPh ₃)L₂] and [ReCl(CCPh) {P(O)(OMe)₂}(NCMe)₂ L] were prepared by reaction ofmer-[ReCl(N₂)(PPh ₃)L₃] withPhCCH, in the absence and in the presence of NCMe, respectively, whereas the benzonitrile/dinitrogen complex [ReCl(N₂)(CNPh)L₃] was obtained either by reaction of that N₂-complex with NCPh or by the reaction of [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)L₃] with NCPh in the presence of NaOMe. The vinylidene compoundtrans-[Re(CNMe)(C=CHPh)(dppe)₂][BF₄] (dppe=Ph ₂PCH₂CH₂PPh ₂) was formed by reaction oftrans-[ReCl(CNMe)(dppe)₂] withPhCCH, in the presence of Tl[BF₄], which did not lead to the formation of detectable amounts of any alkyne-derived organic product.

Umsetzung von Alkinen und Nitrilen zu Organo- und Organostickstoff-Spezies an distickstoffbindende Metallzentren der VI. und VII. Gruppe. Synthese einiger Vinyliden-und Alkinyl-Komplexe des Rhenium

Zusammenfassung Die Reaktionen von Phenylacetylen und anderen Alkinen [HCCCH₂OH, HCC(CH₂)₂OH, HCCCH₂CMe₂CH₂COCH₃, HCCSiMe₃ und MeCCSiMe₃] in Gegenwart von Acetonitril oder Benzonitril mit den folgenden Komplexen wurde wie üblich bei Raumtemperatur untersucht:trans-[Mo(N₂)₂ L ₄] (L=PMePh),cis-[Mo(N₂)₂(PMePh ₂)₄],cis-[W(N₂)₂ L ₄],trans-[ReCl(N₂)L ₄],mer-[ReCl(N₂)(PPh ₃)L₃] {L=P(OMe)₃}, [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)L₃] und [(⁵-MeC₅H₄)-Mn(CO)₂(NCMe)]. Die Hauptreaktion für Phenylacetylen war stets die cyclische Trimerisierung (mit Ausnahme des Mn-Komplexes), obwohl auch Hydrogenierungsprodukte und Spezies aus einer Alkin/Nitril-Kupplung in kleineren Mengen aufgefunden wurden; für die Mo- oder W-Systeme waren die Ausbeuten unter etwa 40% relativ zum Metall, die Re-Systeme zeigten eine schwache katalytische Aktivität. Die anderen Alkine gingen (auch in niedrigen Ausbeuten) hauptsächlich Dimerisierung, cyclische oder lineare Trimerisierung neben (in noch geringerem Maßstab) Kupplungs-reaktionen mit den Nitrilen oder Hydrogenierung ein. Die Alkinylkomplexe [ReCl(CCPh)-{P(O)(OMe)₂}(PPh ₃)L₂] und [ReCl(CCPh) {P(O)(OMe)₂}(NCMe)₂ L] wurden aus der Reaktion vonmer-[ReCl(N₂)(PPh ₃)L₃] mitPhCCH sowohl in Abwesenheit als auch in Gegenwart von NCMe gebildet, wohingegen der Benzonitril/Distickstoff-Komplex [ReCl(N₂)(NCPh)L₃] entweder aus der Reaktion dieses N₂-Komplexes mit NCPh oder über die Reaktion von [ReCl₂(N₂COPh)L₃] mit NCPh in Gegenwart von NaOMe gebildet wurde. Die Vinylidenverbindungtrans-[Re(CNMe)(C=CHPh)(dppe)₂] [BF₄] (dppe=Ph ₂PCH₂CH₂PPh ₂) wurde in der Reaktion vontrans-[ReCl(CNMe)-(dppe)₂] mitPhCCH in der Gegenwart von Tl[BF₄] gebildet, wobei keine detektierbaren Mengen irgendeines von Alkin abgeleiteten organischen Produkts entstanden.

     

Übergangsmetall-Silyl-Komplexe, 44. Darstellung der zweikernigen Silyl-Komplexe (CO)3(R3Si)Fe(μ-PR′R′′)Pt(PPh3)2 durch oxidative Addition von (CO)3(R′R′′HP)Fe(H)SiR3 an (C2H4)Pt(PPh3)2

Transition Metal Silyl Complexes, 44. — Preparation of the Binuclear Silyl Complexes (CO)₃(R₃Si)Fe(μ-PR′R′′)Pt(PPh₃)₂ by Oxidative Addition of (CO)₃(R′R′′HP)Fe(H)SiR₃ to (C₂H₄)Pt(PPh₃)₂ The complexes (CO)₃(R′R′′HP)Fe(H)SiR₃ ( 1 ) [PHR′R′′ = PHPh₂, PH₂Ph, PH₂Cy; SiR₃ = SiPh₃, SiPh₂Me, SiPhMe₂, Si(OMe)₃] react with Pt(C₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂ to give the dinuclear, silyl-substituted complexes (CO)₃(R₃Si)Fe(μ-PR′R′′)Pt(PPh₃)₂ ( 2 ) in high yields. Upon reaction of 2 (R = R′ R′′ = Ph) with CO, the PPh₃ ligand at Pt being trans to the PPh₂ bridge is exchanged, and (CO)₃(Ph₃Si)Fe(μ-PPh₂)Pt(PPh₃)CO ( 3 ) is formed. Complex 3 is characterized by an X-ray structure analysis. The rather short Fe — Si distance [233.9(2) pm] and the infrared spectrum of 3 indicate that the Fe — Pt bond is quite polar.     

Einfluß von Ringgröße und Substitution auf die oxidative Addition cyclischer Carbonsäureanhydride und -imide an den Rumpf (N N)Niº (N N = α, α′-Dipyridyl,Tetramethylethylendiamin)

Influence of Ring Size and Substitution on the Oxidative Addition of Cyclic Carboxylic Acid Anhydrides and Imides to the Moiety (N N)Ni^º (N N = bipy, tetramethylethylenediamine) (dipy)(COD) or a mixture of tmed/Ni(COD)₂ easily react with cyclic carboxylic acid anhydrides by an oxidative addition. After decarbonylation with succinic acid anhydride a five-membered, with glutaric acid anhydride a six-membered metallacycle are formed – or With diphenic acid anhydride we obtained a seven-membered chelate in the boat form ( XIV ). Along their bond axis the two aromatic rings are twisted by 127°, i.e. the conjugative interaction is weak. Itaconic acid anhydride, as a polar olefine, can coordinate to the moiety (tmed)Ni side-on. But also on oxidative addition, yielding the five-membered chelate ( XVI ), is possible. The five-membered chelate is the only Product of the reaction with (dipy)Ni(COD). 1.8-naphthalic acid anhydride (NSA), because of its rigidity, is not suitable for an oxidative addition to electron-rich nickel(O) complexes. But as a π acceptor ligand with a relatively low half wave potential NSA displaces COD of (dipy)Ni(COD) forming (dipy)Ni(NSA) · 0.25 THF ( XVIII ). One of the final products of the acidolysis of [(dipy)Ni]₂(PPI) · 1.5 THF ( XIX PPI=N-phenyl phthalimide) is benzanilide, a compound which might be an indicator of an oxidative additive connected with an -bond breaking in the course of the synthesis of XIX . But ir-data shows the framework of PPI to be preserved in the complex XIX . Evidently the bond breaking proceeds in the course of the acidolysis.

Preparation of bisdiazoalkane and related complexes from the reactions of diazo compounds with the dinitrogen complexestrans-[M(N2)2(Ph 2PCH2CH2PPh 2)2] (M=Mo or W)

Summary Reactions oftrans-[M(N₂)₂(dppe)₂] (A;M=Mo, W;dppe=Ph ₂PCH₂CH₂PPh ₂) with ethyldiazoacetate, N₂CHCOOEt, yield the bisdiazoalkane speciestrans-[M(N₂CHCOOEt)₂(dppe)₂], upon simple replacement of the dinitrogen ligand by ethyldiazoacetate. However, diazomethane, N₂CH₂, reacts withA with loss of N₂ to give products which we tentatively formulate as containing methylene ligands,trans-[M(CH₂)₂(dppe)₂].

Charge-transfer interactions in cyclophanes

Charge-transfer interactions in cyclophane systems are reviewed. The majority of the work covered involves intermolecular complexation, with both donor and acceptor moieties existing within the same molecule. Studies have also been performed on intermolecular complexes, mainly tetracyanoethylene:cyclophane complexes. Host-guest complexes involving charge-transfer are also discussed. Other areas covered include solvent effects, substituent effects, and theoretical calculations.     

Synthesis and characterization of new thorium and uranium phenolate complexes

The reaction between the chelating amino bisphenole ligand (ONOO)H₂ (1) and (ONNO)H₂ (2) with an excess of NaH gives the corresponding bis-sodium salts 3 and 4 quantitatively.The salts were reacted with thorium tetrachloride at room temperature to obtain the corresponding (ONOO)ThCl₂ (5) and (ONNO)ThCl₂ (6) complexes.However, ThCl₄ and UCl₄ react with (3) at higher temperatures to give the corresponding isomorphous homoleptic complexes (ONOO)₂Th (7) and (ONOO)₂U (8).We have also synthesized and characterized a thorium salicylaldiminato complex L₃ThCl (11) , in order to study the effect of the bridged ligand on the molecular structure.     

Mono and trinuclear lanthanide complexes of 13-membered tetraaza macrocycle: Synthesis and characterization

The reaction of 1,8-diamino-3,6-diazaoctane and diethyl malonate in dry methanol yielded a 13-membered macrocycle. Complexes of the type [Ln(tatd)Cl₂ (H₂O)₃]Cl [Ln^III=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy; tatd=1, 5, 8, 11-tetra-azacyclotridecane-2,4-dione] have been synthesized by template condensation. The complex [La(tatd)Cl₂ (H₂O)₃]Cl in methanol was reacted with lanthanide chlorides to yield the trinuclear complexes of type [2{La(tatd)Cl₂(H₂O)₃}LnCl₃]Cl₂ [Ln^III=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy]. The chemical compositions of mono and trinuclear complexes have been established on the basis of analytical, molar conductance, electrospray (ES) and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass data. In mononuclear complexes the Ln³⁺ ion is encapsulated by four ring nitrogens and in trimetallic complexes the exo-carbonyl oxygens of two mononuclear units coordinate to the Ln³⁺ ions resulting in a polyhedron around the lanthanide ions. Thus the macrocycle is bonded in a tetradentate fashion in the former complexes and hexadentate in the latter. The coordination number nine around the encapsulated Ln³⁺ and seven around the exo-oxygen bonded Ln³⁺ ions are established. The symmetry of the ligand field around the metal ions is indicated from the emission spectra.     

Tris(triphenylphosphan)nickel(0)-Komplexe mit Nitril-Liganden

With NC(CH₂)_nBr (n = 1, 2) instead of the analogous nitrile complexes (Ph₃P)₂NiBr₂ and CH₃CN or C₂H₅CN respectively are formed.     

Nickel alkynyl and allenylidene complexes: Synthesis and properties

Copper-catalyzed reaction of [Cp(PPh₃)NiCl] with the terminal alkynes H-CC-C(O)R (R = O-Menthyl, NMe₂, Ph) yields the alkynyl complexes [Cp(PPh₃)Ni-CC-C(O)R]. Subsequent O-methylation with either [Me₃O]BF₄ or MeSO₃CF₃ affords cationic allenylidene complexes, [Cp(PPh₃)NiCCC(OMe)R]⁺X¯ (X = BF₄, SO₃CF₃). N-Alkylation of Cp(PPh₃)Ni-pyridylethynyl complexes likewise gives cationic allenylidene complexes. [Cp(PPh₃)Ni-CC-C(CH)₄N] adds BF₃ at nitrogen. Modification of the ligand sphere in these nickel allenylidene complexes is possible by replacing PPh₃ by PMe₃ in the alkynyl complex precursors. The first allenylidene(carbene)nickel cation, [Cp(SIMes)NCCC(OMe)NMe₂]⁺, is accessible by successive reaction of [Cp(SIMes)NiCl] with H-CC-C(O)NMe₂ and [Me₃O]BF₄. By the analogous sequence an allenylidene complex containing the chelating (diphenylphosphanyl)ethylcyclopentadienyl ligand can be prepared. DFT Calculations were carried out on the allenylidene complex cation [Cp(PPh₃)NiCCC(OMe)NMe₂]⁺ and on its precursor, the alkynyl complex [Cp(PPh₃)Ni-CC-C(O)NMe₂]. Based on the spectroscopic data and a X-ray structure analysis the bonding in the new nickel allenylidene complexes is best represented by several resonance forms, an alkynyl resonance form considerably contributing to the overall bond.     

ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF CYANO-BRIDGED DINUCLEAR IRON COMPLEXES

Abstract

A series of complexes of formula [(NC)₅Fe^II—NC—Fe^II(CN)₄L]^n?, with L = H₂O, pyridine, isonicotinamide and 4-cyanopyridine were prepared in aqueous solution by substitution of the corresponding [Fe^II(CN)₅L]^n? ions into [Fe^II(CN)₅H₂O]^3?. The mixed valent (II, III) and fully oxidized (III, III) complexes were also obtained. The (II, II) complexes were moderately stable toward dissociation into the mononuclear species, but the mixed-valent ions were properly characterized by UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy and electrochemistry. Distinctive intervalence (IV) bands were assigned in the NIR region, with the energy being dependent on the binding properties of L; the IV band energy also correlated with the redox potential at the [NC—Fe(CN)₄L] fragment. By application of the Hush model, a valence-trapped situation was found for the [(NC)₅Fe^III—NC—Fe^II(CN)₄L]^n? ions. The class II behavior shows, however, a value of H _ab, the electronic coupling factor, of ca. 1600cm^?1, indicating a moderate-to-strong communication between the metal centers.     

Zur Struktur und Konstitution von Dichloro(tetraalkylcyclobutadien)platin(II)-Komplexen

Structure and Constitution of Dichloro(tetraalkylcyclobutadiene)platinum(II) Complexes Hexachloroplatinic acid reacts in n-butanol with alkylsubstituted acetylenes RC≡CR (R = Me, Et) to give [PtCl₂(C₄R₄)] (R = Me ( 1 ), R = Et ( 2 )). The X-ray structure analysis of 1 (C2/m; a = 1 370.3(2), b = 1 128.3(1), c = 691.21(7) pm, β = 96.10(1)α; Z = 4) shows that 1 is monomeric and not dimeric as was described in the literature. Furthermore, 1 and 2 were extensively studied by i.r., Raman, and n.m.r. spectroscopical investigations.

Preparation and Reactivity of Platinumcyclobutadiene Complexes [PtCl₂(C₄R₄)L] H[PtCl₃(C₄H₈)], prepared by reduction of H₂[PtCl₆] with n-butanol reacts with 2-pentyne to give equal amounts of the regioisomers [PtCl₂(C₄Et₂Me₂)] ( 3 a, 3 b ). An equimolar mixture of 2-butyne/3-hexyne reacts under the same conditions to give [PtCl₂(C₄Me₄)] ( 1 ), [PtCl₂(C₄Et₄)] ( 2 ) and [PtCl₂(C₄Et₂Me₂)] ( 3 a ) in a molar ratio 1:1.3:6.6. 1 and 2 react with ligands L (L = py a , p-tol b , PPh₃ c , AsPh₃ d , SbPh₃ e ) to give complexes of the type [PtCl₂(C₄R₄)L]. The complexes were characterized by microanalysis as well as by i.r., ¹H- and ¹³C-n.m.r. spectroscopy.     

Die Reaktion von Ytterbium mit N‐Iod‐triphenylphosphanimin. Kristallstrukturen von [Yb2I(THF)2(NPPh3)4] · 2 THF, [YbI2(HNPPh3)(DME)2] und [{YbI2(DME)2}2(μ‐DME)]

The Reaction of Ytterbium with N‐iodo‐triphenylphosphaneimine. Crystal Structures of [Yb₂I(THF)₂(NPPh₃)₄] · 2 THF, [YbI₂(HNPPh₃)(DME)₂], and [{YbI₂(DME)₂}₂(μ‐DME)] When treated with ultrasound, the reaction of ytterbium powder with INPPh₃ in tetrahydrofuran leads to [YbI₂(THF)₄] and to the mixed‐valence phosphoraneiminato complex [Yb₂I(THF)₂(NPPh₃)₄] · 2 THF ( 1 ), which forms red single‐crystals. In the analogous reaction in 1,2‐dimethoxyethane (DME) only the ytterbium(II) iodide solvates [YbI₂(HNPPh₃)(DME)₂] ( 2 ) and [{YbI₂(DME)₂}₂ · (μ‐DME)] ( 3 ) can be isolated, which form yellow single crystals. All compounds were characterized by crystal structure analyses. 1 : Space group P1, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1337.6(5), b = 1389.6(5), c = 2244.2(17) pm; α = 86.11(7)°, β = 88.06(7)°, γ = 88.63(4)°; R = 0.0759. In 1 the two ytterbium atoms are connected via the N atoms of two phosphoraneiminato groups (NPPh₃^–) to form a planar Yb₂N₂ four‐membered ring. The structure can also be described as an ion pair consisting of [YbI(THF)₂]⁺ and [Yb(NPPh₃)₄]^–. 2 : Space group P2₁, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 811.9(1), b = 1114.0(1), c = 1741.3(1) pm; β = 95.458(5)°; R = 0.0246. 2 forms molecules in which the ytterbium atom is coordinated in a pentagonal‐bipyramidal fashion with the iodine atoms in the axial positions. The O atoms of the two DME‐chelates and the N atom of the phosphaneimine ligand HNPPh₃ are in the equatorial positions. 3 : Space group P1, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at –70 °C: a = 817.5(1), b = 1047.7(1), c = 1115.5(2) pm; α = 90.179(10)°, β = 97.543(15)°, γ = 91.087(12)°; R = 0.0317. 3 has a dimeric molecular structure, in which the two fragments {YbI₂(DME)₂} are connected centrosymmetrically via a μ‐DME bridge. As in 2 , the ytterbium atoms are coordinated in a pentagonal‐bipyramidal fashion with the iodine atoms in the axial positions, as well as with the two DME chelates and with one O atom each of the μ‐DME ligand in the equatorial positions.
