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.

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.     

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.     

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.

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.
