Triaryl-silyl, -germyl,and -stannyl radicals .MAr3 (M = Si,Ge, or Sn and Ar = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) and .Ge(2,6-Me2C6H3)3: Synthesis and ESR studies

The triarylmetal-centred radicals ^.MAr₃ (M = Si, Ge, or Sn; Ar = 2,6-Me₂C₆H₃ or 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂) have been prepared from the appropriate triarylmetal chloride, MAr₃Cl, and an electron-rich olefin [R$\text{NCH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{NRC}$]₂ (R = Me or Et) under UV irradiation in toluene at low temperature. The triarylgermyl radicals are persistent (t$\text{1}\text{2}$ > 24 h, 20°C) whilst the analogous tin and silicon radicals are only stable under constant irradiation at temperatures below ?20°C; the ESR spectra of the germanium radicals and of ^.Si(2,4,6-Me³C₆H₂)₃ (which is the first triarylsilyl radical to be spectroscopically identified) show coincidental equivalence of all the proton couplings due to twisting of thearomatic rings into a “propeller” arrangement about the metal. The synthesis and characterisation of precursors to these radicals are also reported.     

通过核独立化学位移(NICS)计算研究二价三、五、七元环C2H2M, C4H4M and C6H6M(M=C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb)的芳香族特性

The aromatic character of divalent three, five and seven-membered rings C₂H₂M, C₄H₄M and C₆H₆M(M=C, Si, Ge, Sn and Pb) is investigated through magnetic and geometric criteria by Density Functional Theory (DFT)method using 6^-311++G(3df,2p) basis set of the GAUSSIAN 98 program. The result of Nucleus-independent Chemical Shifts (NICS)(0.5) calculations show an aromatic character for singlet state of C₂H₂M(M=C, Si, Ge, Sn and Sn) and nonaromatic character for triplet states of C₂H₂M(except M=Ge and Pb). NICS (0.5) calculations show nonaromatic character for the singlet state of C₄H₄C and antiaromatic character for C₄H₄M(M=Si, Ge, Sn and Pb). In contrast, NICS (0.5) calculations indicate antiaromatic character for the triplet state of C₄H₄C and nonaromatic character to C₄H₄M(M=Si, Ge, Sn and Pb). NICS (0.5) calculations show a slightly homoaromatic character for the singlet state of C₆H₆M and anti-aromatic character for triplet state of C₆H₆M.     

Ansa‐Complexes of [Mn(η5‐C5H5)(η6‐C6H6)]: Preparation,Characterization, and Reactivity of [n]Manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2, 3)

We report the synthesis of [n]manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2) featuring boron, silicon, germanium, and tin as ansa‐bridging elements. Their preparation was achieved by salt‐elimination reactions of the dilithiated precursor [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄Li)(η⁶‐C₆H₅Li)]?pmdta (pmdta=N,N,N′,N′,N′′‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) with corresponding element dichlorides. Besides characterization by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, the identity of two single‐atom‐bridged derivatives, [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] and [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SiPh₂], could also be determined by X‐ray structural analysis. We investigated for the first time the reactivity of these ansa‐cyclopentadienyl–benzene manganese compounds. The reaction of the distannyl‐bridged complex [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)Sn₂tBu₄] with elemental sulfur was shown to proceed through the expected oxidative addition of the Sn?Sn bond to give a triatomic ansa‐bridge. The investigation of the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) capability of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] showed that an unexpected, unselective insertion into the C_ipso?Sn bonds of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] had occurred.     

Less Is More: Three‐Coordinate C,N‐Chelated Distannynes and Digermynes

We report here the synthesis of new C,N‐chelated chlorostannylenes and germylenes L³MCl (M=Sn( 1 ), Ge ( 2 )) and L⁴MCl (M=Sn( 3 ), Ge ( 4 )) containing sterically demanding C,N‐chelating ligands L^{3, 4} (L³=[2,4‐di‐tBu‐6‐(Et₂NCH₂)C₆H₂]^?_; L⁴=[2,4‐di‐tBu‐6‐{(C₆H₃‐2′,6′‐iPr₂)N=CH}C₆H₂]^?). Reductions of 1 – 4 yielded three‐coordinate C,N‐chelated distannynes and digermynes [L^{3, 4}M ]₂ for the first time ( 5 : L³, M=Sn, 6 : L³, M=Ge, 7 : L⁴, M=Sn, 8 : L⁴, M=Ge). For comparison, the four‐coordinate distannyne [L⁵Sn]₂ ( 10 ) stabilized by N,C,N‐chelate L⁵ (L⁵=[2,6‐{(C₆H₃‐2′,6′‐Me₂)N?CH}₂C₆H₃]^?) was prepared by the reduction of chlorostannylene L⁵SnCl ( 9 ). Hence, we highlight the role of donor‐driven stabilization of tetrynes. Compounds 1 – 10 were characterized by means of elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and in the case of 1 , 2 , 5 – 7 , and 10 , also by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The bonding situation in either three‐ or four‐coordinate distannynes 5 , 7 , and 10 was evaluated by DFT calculations. DFT calculations were also used to compare the nature of the metal–metal bond in three‐coordinate C,N‐chelating distannyne [L³Sn]₂ ( 5 ) and related digermyme [L³Ge]₂ ( 6 ).     

Singlet–triplet splitting and stability of divalent five‐membered ring C4H4M,C4H6M,and C4H8M (M = C,Si, Ge,Sn, and Pb)

The sum of electronic and thermal free energy differences between singlet and triplet states (Δ G_t‐s) is calculated for C₄H₄M, C₄H₆M, and C₄H₈M (M = C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) at B3LYP/6‐311++G (3df,2p) level. Singlet–triplet splitting (Δ G_t‐s) is compared for three analogs C₄H₄M, C₄H₆M, and C₄H₈M. The change order of Δ G_t‐s is (except for M = C) C₄H₆M > C₄H₈M > C₄H₄M. The results of homodesmotic reaction energies show the most stability for singlet state of C₄H₆M with respect to C₄H₄M and C₄H₈M. In contrast, the triplet state of C₄H₄M (except for M = C) is the most stable with respect to C₄H₆M and C₄H₈M. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Gemischtligandkomplexe des Nickel(0) und Kobalt(I) mit anionischen Liganden des Typs E(C6H5)3− (E  Ge,Sn, Pb)

Mixed Ligand Complexes of Nickel(0) and Cobalt(I) with the Anionic Ligands E(C₆H₅)₃^? (E ? Ge, Sn, Pb) Complexes of the general formula M^INi(PPh₃)₃(EPh₃)(THF)_x (E ? Ge[Ia], Sn[Ib], Pb[Ic]) and M^I₃Ni(PPh₃)(EPh₃)₃(THF)_x (E ? Ge[IIa], Sn[IIb]) are formed from (Ph₃P)₂Ni(C₂H₄) by substitution with M^IEPh₃. The analogous complexes of the ligand SiPh₃^? could not be prepared, because of the formation of SiPh₄ from LiSiPh₃ and coordinated PPh₃. Attempts to synthesize a nickel(II) complex of the ligand SnPh₃^? had no success, only possible decomposition products of these compounds, like (nBu₂PPh)₂Ni^II(Ph)Cl and Na_xNi°(PPh₃)_4?x(SnP₄)_x(THF)_Y, were isolated. NaCo^I(PPh₃)₂(SnPh₃)₂(THF)₇ (IV) was prepared by the reaction of Co(PPh₃)₃Cl and NaSnPh₃. ¹H-NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectra show a higher donor action of SnPh₃^? in IIb than in Ib. This causes a stronger π-back donation Ni → P in the case of IIb. IV is a paramagnetic compound, the vis-spectrum is discussed using simple crystal field theory.     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Darstellung von Acetatoblei(IV)- und Acetatozinn(IV)- manganpentacarbonylen durch Acidolyse von (C6H5)4–n−M[Mn(CO)5]n (M  Sn,Pb; n = 1, 2) mit Essigsäure

Preparation of Acetatolead(1V) and Acetatotin(1V) Manganese Pentacarbonyls by Acidolysis of (C₆H₅)_4?n M[Mn(CO)₅]_n (M ? Sn, Pb; n = 1, 2) with Acetic Acid By acidolysis of (C₆H₅)_4?nM[Mn(CO)₅]_n (M ? Sn, Pb; n = 1, 2) with acetic acid no M? Mn bonds are broken, but M? C bonds. In this reaction (CH₃COO)₂M[Mn(CO)₅]₂ is formed from (C₆H₅)₂M[Mn(CO)₅]₂, and (CH₃COO)₃SnMn(CO)₅ and (CH₃COO)₂C₆H₅PbMn(CO)₅ from (C₆H₅)₃MMn-(CO)₅. (CH₃COO)₂C₆H₅SnMn(CO)₅ is prepared from Cl₂C₆H₅SnMn(CO)₅ and AgCH₃COO. According to IR spectroscopic data the acetato ligands of the diacetato complexes are bidentate, while in (CH₃COO)₃SnMn(CO)₅ bi- and monodentate carboxylate groups are present. For the central atoms Sn and Pb octahedral coordination is proposed.     

Bariumstannat‐Pulver durch hydrothermale Synthese und durch Thermolyse von Bariumzinn(IV)‐glykolaten. Synthese und Struktur von [Ba(C2H6O2)4][Sn(C2H4O2)3] und [Ba(C2H6O2)2][Sn(C2H4O2)3]·CH3OH

Barium Stannate Powders from Hydrothermal Synthesis and by Thermolysis of Barium‐Tin(IV)‐Glycolates. Synthesis and Structure of [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₄][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃] and [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₂][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃]·CH₃OH The hydrothermal reaction as well as the microwave assisted hydrothermal reaction of SnO₂·aq with barium hydroxide gives Ba[Sn(OH)₆] ( 1 ) as powder with bar like particles. Compound 1 of the same morphology can also be isolated from a hydrothermal reaction of [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₄][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃] ( 3 ). The reaction of SnO₂·aq with Ba(OH)₂·8H₂O in ethylene glycol yields the glycolate [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₄][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃] ( 3 ), which forms in methanol the solvate [Ba(C₂H₆O₂)₂][Sn(C₂H₄O₂)₃]·CH₃OH ( 4 ). Compounds 1 , 3 and 4 react at different temperatures to BaSnO₃ ( 2 ) consisting of powders with different morphologies; because of the grain size of the resulting powders compounds 3 and 4 are suitable as precursor for the fabrication of corresponding ceramics.     

Synthetic and Structural Studies on the Cyclic Bis(amino)stannylenes Sn[(NR)2C10H6‐1, 8] and their Reactions with SnCl2 or Si[(NCH2But)2C6H4‐1, 2] (R = SiMe3 or CH2But)

Treatment of {HNR}₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8 [R = SiMe₃ ( 1 ), CH₂Bu^t ( 2 )] with Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ afforded the cyclic stannylene Sn[{NR}₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8] [R = SiMe₃ ( 3 ), CH₂Bu^t ( 4 )]. From 3 and SnCl₂ in THF and crystallisation from toluene, the product was the crystalline tetracyclic compound ( 5 ) as the (toluene)_0.5‐solvate. Reaction of 4 with the silylene Si[(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₆H₄‐1, 2] ( 6 ) [abbreviated as Si(NN)] in benzene and crystallisation in presence of Et₂O furnished the crystalline tricyclic complex Sn[{Si(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₆H₄‐1′, 2′}₂‐{(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8}] ( 7 ) as the Et₂O‐solvate. Complex 5 slowly dissociated into its factors 3 and SnCl₂ in toluene, but rapidly in THF. Solutions of 7 in C₆D₆, C₇D₈ or THF‐d₈, studied by multinuclear, variable temperature NMR spectroscopy, revealed the presence of an equilibrium between 8 (an isomer of 7 , in which the skeletal atoms of the eight‐membered ring were , rather than the of 7 ) and 4 + 2 Si(NN), with 8 dominant in PhMe but not in THF; additionally 8 was shown to be fluxional and solutions of 8 in C₆D₆ or C₇D₈ decomposed to give the silane Si(NN)[(NCH₂Bu^t)₂C₁₀H₆‐1, 8], 6 and Sn metal. The X‐ray structures of 3 , 5 and 7 are presented.     

Synthesis and Characterization of the Monomeric Sterically Encumbered Diaryls E{C6H3‐2,6‐(C6H3‐2,6‐Pri2)2}2 (E = Ge,Sn, or Pb)

The reaction of two equivalents of LiC₆H₃‐2,6‐(C₆H₃‐2,6‐Prⁱ₂)₂ with GeCl₂·dioxane, SnCl₂ or PbBr₂ in a diethyl ether solution resulted in the isolation of the monomeric σ‐bonded diaryl tetrylene series E{C₆H₃‐2,6‐(C₆H₃‐2,6‐Prⁱ₂)₂}₂ (E = Ge ( 1 ), Sn ( 2 ), or Pb( 3 )). Compounds 1 ‐ 3 are highly sterically congested blue crystalline solids, which possess V‐shaped structures and wide interligand bond angles. The solid state structures of 1 ‐ 3 were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray methods while their solution structures were investigated by UV spectroscopy and in the cases of 2 and 3 , respectively, by ¹¹⁹Sn and ²⁰⁷Pb NMR spectroscopy. The series 1 ‐ 3 constitutes the most sterically crowded examples of σ‐bonded diorgano group 14 derivatives yet isolated and, in contrast to previously reported: ER₂ species, the C‐E‐C angles increase with increasing atomic number.     

[(C6H10)(NH3)2][Ni(H2O)4C6H2(COO)4]·4H2O – A Coordination Polymer with the Chain‐like Polyanion {Ni(H2O)4[C6H2(COO)4]2−}n

Triclinic single crystals of [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂][Ni(H₂O)₄C₆H₂(COO)₄]·4H₂O have been prepared in aqueous solution at 55 °C. Space group (Nr. 2), a = 691.23(6), b = 924.84(5), c = 1082.43(7) pm, α = 74.208(6)°, β = 75.558(7)°, γ = 68.251(6)°, V = 0.60985(7) nm³, Z = 1. The Nickel(II) species, located on a crystallographic inversion centre, is coordinated in a trans‐octahedral fashion by two oxygen atoms stemming from the centrosymmetric pyromellitate anions and four from water molecules (Ni–O 205.82(12) – 208.11(13) pm). The connection between Ni²⁺ and [C₆H₂(COO)₄)]^4? leads to infinite chain‐like polyanions extending parallel to with {Ni(H₂O)₄[C₆H₂(COO)₄]^2?}_n composition. [(C₆H₁₀)(NH₃)₂]²⁺‐cations are accomodated between the chains, compensating for the negative charge of the polyanions. Thermogravimetric analysis in air showed that the loss of water of crystallisation occurs in two steps between 102 and 206 °C, corresponding to the loss of 6 and 2 water molecules per formula unit, respectively. The dehydrated sample was stable between 206 and 353 °C. Further decomposition yielded nickel(II) oxide (NiO).

(C₅H₄N))}B₁₀H₈]^? can be isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl(DEAE) cellulose. The crystal structure of [P(C₆H₅)₄][2,9-{N,N′-(2-NH? (C₅H₄N))}B₁₀H₈] (triclinic, space group P1 , a = 10.1103(9), b = 11.5665(9), c = 14.877(2) Å, α = 102.600(8), β = 107.567(8) und γ = 96.487(7)°, Z = 2) reveals the bonding of 2-NH₂-(C₅H₄N) via both N atoms to vicinal B atoms of the two square planes of the B₁₀ cluster (B2? N1 = 1,541(7) und B9? N2 = 1.505(7) Å) forming a five-membered ring.     

Solvothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Two Thioantimonate(V) Compounds with the [SbS4]3— Anion Acting as a Monodentate Ligand: [Mn(C6H18N4)(C6H19N4)]SbS4 and [Mn(C6H14N2)3]2[Mn(C6H14N2)2(SbS4)2]·6H2O

The two novel thioantimonate(V) compounds [Mn(C₆H₁₈N₄)(C₆H₁₉N₄)]SbS₄ ( I ) and [Mn(C₆H₁₄N₂)₃][Mn(C₆H₁₄N₂)₂(SbS₄)₂]·6H₂O ( II ) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions by reacting elemental Mn, Sb and S in the stoichiometric ratio in 5 ml tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine (tren) at 140 °C or chxn (trans‐1, 2‐diaminocyclohexane, aqueous solution 50 %) at 130 °C. Compound I crystallises in the triclinic space group P1¯, a = 9.578(2), b = 11.541(2), c = 12.297(2)Å, α = 62.55(1), β = 85.75(1), γ = 89.44(1)°, V = 1202.6(4)ų, Z = 2, and II in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 32.611(2), b = 13.680(1), c = 19.997(1)Å, β = 117.237(5)°, V = 7931.7(8)ų, Z = 4. In I the Mn²⁺ cation is surrounded by one tetradentate tren molecule, one protonated tren acting as a monodentate ligand and a monodentate [SbS₄]^3— anion yielding a distorted octahedral environment. In II one unique Mn²⁺ ion is in an octahedral environment of three bidentate chxn molecules and the second independent Mn²⁺ ion is coordinated by two chxn ligands and two monodentate [SbS₄]^3— units leading to a distorted octahedral surrounding. The compounds were investigated and characterized with thermal and spectroscopic methods.     

Weak Antiferromagnetic Exchange and Ferromagnetic Alignment of FeII (S=2) Spins in Differently Charged {HAT ⋅ (FeIICl2)3}n (n=2- and 3-) Assemblies of Hexaazatriphenylenes (HAT)

Hexaazatrianthracene (HATA) and hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile {HAT(CN)₆} are reduced by metallic iron in the presence of crystal violet (CV⁺)(Cl⁻). Anionic ligands are produced, which simultaneously coordinate three Fe^IICl₂ to form (CV⁺)₂{HATA ⋅ (Fe^IICl₂)₃}²⁻ ⋅ 3 C₆H₄Cl₂ ( 1 ) and (CV⁺)₃{HAT(CN)_6. (Fe^IICl₂)₃}³⁻ ⋅ 0.5CVCl ⋅ 2.5 C₆H₄Cl₂ ( 2 ). High-spin (S=2) Fe^II atoms in both structures are arranged in equilateral triangles at a distance of 7 Å. An antiferromagnetic exchange is observed between Fe^II in {HATA ⋅ (Fe^IICl₂)₃}²⁻ ( 1 ) with a Weiss temperature (Θ) of −80 K, the PHI estimated exchange interaction (J) is −4.7 cm⁻¹. The {HAT(CN)₆ ⋅ (Fe^IICl₂)₃}³⁻ assembly is obtained in 2 . The formation of HAT(CN)₆^.3− is supported by the appearance of an intense EPR signal with g=2.0037. The magnetic behavior of 2 is described by a strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the Fe^II and HAT(CN)₆^.3− spins with J₁=−164 cm⁻¹ (−2 J formalism) and by a weaker antiferromagnetic coupling between the Fe^II spins with J₂=−15.4 cm⁻¹. The stronger coupling results in the spins of the three Fe^IICl₂ units to be aligned parallel to each other in the assembly. As a result, an increase of the χ_MT values is observed with the decrease of temperature from 9.82 at 300 K up to 15.06 emu ⋅ K/mol at 6 K, and the Weiss temperature is also positive being at +23 K. Thus, a change in the charge and spin state of the HAT-type ligand to ⋅3⁻ results in ferromagnetic alignment of the Fe^II spins, yielding a high-spin (S=11/2) system. DFT calculations showed that, due to the high symmetry and nearly degenerated LUMO of both HATA and HAT(CN)₆, their complexes with Fe^IICl₂ have a variety of closely lying excited high-spin states with multiplicity up to S=15/2.     

A copper–polyol complex: [Na2(C2H6O2)6][Cu(C2H4O2)2]

The ionic title complex, bis(μ‐ethylene glycol)‐κ³O,O′:O′;κ³O:O,O′‐bis[(ethylene glycol‐κ²O,O′)(ethylene glycol‐κO)sodium] bis(ethylene glycolato‐κ²O,O′)copper(II), [Na₂(C₂H₆O₂)₆][Cu(C₂H₄O₂)₂], was obtained from a basic solution of CuCl₂ in ethylene glycol and consists of discrete ions interconnected by O—H...O hydrogen bonds. This is the first example of a disodium–ethylene glycol complex cation cluster. The cation lies about an inversion center and the Cu^II atom of the anion lies on another independent inversion center.     

Heteronukleare Metallatomcluster der Typen X4−n[SnM(CO)4P(C6H5)3]n und M2(CO)8 [μ-Sn(X)M (CO)4P(C6H5)3]2 aus Umsetzungen von SnX2 mit M2(CO)8[P(C6H5)3]2 (X = Halogen; M = Mn,Re; n = 2, 3)

Heteronuclear Metal Atom Clusters of the Types X_4?n[SnM(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n and M₂(CO)₈[μ-Sn(X)M(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ by Reaction of SnX₂ with M₂(CO)₈[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ (X = Halogene; M = Mn, Re; n = 2, 3) The compounds of the both types X_4?n[SnM(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n (n = 3; M = Mn; X = F, Cl, Br, I. n = 2: M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br, I) and M₂(CO)₈[μ-Sn(X)M(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ (M = Mn; X = Cl, I. M = Re; X = Cl, Br, I) are prepared by reaction of SnX₂ with M₂(CO)₈[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ (M = Mn, Re). Their IR frequencies are assigned. In Re₂(CO)₈[μ-Sn(Cl)Re(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ the central molecule fragment contains a planar Re₂Sn₂ rhombus with a transannular Re? Re bond of 316.0(2) pm. Each of the Sn^IV atoms is connected with the terminal ligands Cl and Re(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃. These ligands are in transposition with respect to the Re₂Sn₂ ring. The mean values for the remaining bond distances (pm) are: Sn? Re = 274.0(3); Sn? Cl = 243(1), Re? C = 176(5), Re? P = 242.4(9), C? O = 123(5). The factors with an influence on the geometrical shape of such M₂Sn₂ rings (M = transition metal) are discussed.     

m -Terphenyl derivative of titanium(III): Cp2TiR (Cp=C5H5; R =2,6-(4-MeC6H4)2C6H3)

The title compound, Cp₂TiR (Cp=C₅H₅; R=2,6-(4-MeC₆H₄)₂C₆H₃), 1, was prepared by reaction of RLi with [Cp₂TiCl]₂. Compound 1 was characterized by elemental analysis, EPR, and single crystal X-ray crystallography. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the following unit cell dimensions: a=11.1466(7) Å, b=16.4429(11) Å, c=13.0786(8) Å; b=106.2040(10)^°;V=2301.9(3) ų. The EPR spectrum of 1 displays two signals, a high field signal at g=1.979 and a lower field signal at g=1.959. Significantly, 1 is a sterically encumbered m-terphenyl-stabilized trivalent titanocene paramagnetic complex and may be a practical one-electron reducing reagent.

Organonickel(II) complexes of the type [NiX{C₆H₃(CH₂NR¹R²)₂?2,6}] (X = halide OH₂⁺/CF₃SO₃^?; R¹?R²?Et 1 ; R¹?R²?i? Pr 2 ; R¹ = Me, R² = Cy 3 ; (NR¹R²) = piperidino 4 ; (NR¹R²) = pyrrolidino 5 ) are described. ¹H and ¹³C NMR and UV/Vis spectra were recorded, and the X-ray crystal structure of 1 a (X = Br) was determined. This complex crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pbca with a = 1 335.8(2) pm, b = 1 903.3(3) pm, c = 1 365.4(3) pm and Z = 8, and has an approximately square-planar geometry. 4 and 5 show a reversible binding of SO₂ which has been detected by means of IR photoacoustic spectroscopy. The reactions of 1 – 5 with CS₂ and PhNSO are discussed.     

New rac‐XP(O)(OC6H5)(NHC6H4‐p‐CH3) [X = N(CH3)(cyclo‐C6H11) and NH(C3H5)] and rac‐(C6H5CH2NH)P(O)(OC6H5)(NH‐cyclo‐C6H11) mixed‐amide phosphinates

The mixed‐amide phosphinates, rac‐phenyl (N‐methylcyclohexylamido)(p‐tolylamido)phosphinate, C₂₀H₂₇N₂O₂P, (I), and rac‐phenyl (allylamido)(p‐tolylamido)phosphinate, C₁₆H₁₉N₂O₂P, (II), were synthesized from the racemic phosphorus–chlorine compound (R,S)‐(Cl)P(O)(OC₆H₅)(NHC₆H₄‐p‐CH₃). Furthermore, the phosphorus–chlorine compound ClP(O)(OC₆H₅)(NH‐cyclo‐C₆H₁₁) was synthesized for the first time and used for the synthesis of rac‐phenyl (benzylamido)(cyclohexylamido)phosphinate, C₁₉H₂₅N₂O₂P, (III). The strategies for the synthesis of racemic mixed‐amide phosphinates are discussed. The P atom in each compound is in a distorted tetrahedral (N¹)P(=O)(O)(N²) environment. In (I) and (II), the p‐tolylamido substituent makes a longer P—N bond than those involving the N‐methylcyclohexylamido and allylamido substituents. In (III), the differences between the P—N bond lengths involving the cyclohexylamido and benzylamido substituents are not significant. In all three structures, the phosphoryl O atom takes part with the N—H unit in hydrogen‐bonding interactions, viz. an N—H...O=P hydrogen bond for (I) and (N—H)(N—H)...O=P hydrogen bonds for (II) and (III), building linear arrangements along [001] for (I) and along [010] for (III), and a ladder arrangement along [100] for (II).
