Synthesis of trans-[Re(NO)2-(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2][BF4], a formal dinitrosyl complex of rhenium(-I) and its protic denitrosylation. X-Ray structure of trans-[ReF(NO)-(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2][BF4]

Treatment of a THF solution of trans-[ReCl(N₂)(dppe)₂] (dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) with NO, in the presence of Tl[BF₄], forms trans-[Re(NO)₂(dppe)₂][BF₄], a rare formal 20-electron d⁸-rhenium nitrosyl complex which, by reaction with HX (X = BF₄, Cl or HSO₄), gives trans-[ReF(NO)(dppe)₂][BF₄] (2) (the X-ray structure of which is reported) or trans-[ReX(NO)(dppe)₂]X (3, X = Cl or HSO₄), respectively, as well as nitrous oxide.     

The chemical oxidation and electronic spectra of the complexes trans-[M(CNR)2(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2] (M = Mo or W)

Oxidation of the complexes $\text{trans}$-[M(CNR)₂(dppe)₂] (A) (M = Mo or W; R = Me, Bu^t or CH₃C₆H₄-$\text{4}$; dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) with diiodine or silver (I) salts gives the paramagnetic cations $\text{trans}$-[M(CNR)₂(dppe)₂]⁺, (M = Mo, R = CH₃C₆H₄-$\text{4}$; M = W, R = Bu^t) and $\text{trans}$-[M(CNR)₂(dppe)₂]²⁺ (M = Mo, R = Me or CH₃C₆H₄-$\text{4}$; M = W, R = Me or Bu^t). Mixtures of products are generally produced when dichlorine or dibromine are the oxidising agents, however pure salts, the seven-coordinate complex cations [MX(CNC₆H₄CH₃-$\text{4}$)₂(dppe)₂]⁺ (B, X = Cl or Br) have been isolated. A simple molecular orbital scheme is proposed for complexes (A) and used to discuss their electronic spectra and their oxidation.     

A simple synthesis of trans-RuCl(CCR)(dppe)2 complexes and representative molecular structures

The five-coordinate complex [RuCl(dppe)₂]OTf ([2]OTf) is obtained in high yield by the sequential reduction of RuCl₃ · nH₂O to RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃, subsequent phosphine substitution to give trans-RuCl₂(dppe)₂ (trans-1) and finally chloride abstraction (AgOTf, CH₂Cl₂). The use of [2]OTf as an entry point to mono-acetylide complexes trans-RuCl(CCC₆H₄R-4)(dppe)₂ (3) is described, and represents an alternative route to the long-standing methods based on cis-RuCl₂(dppe)₂ (cis-1), which is always prepared as a mixture with the more thermodynamically stable trans isomer when prepared by phosphine substitution reactions of RuCl₂(dmso)₄. The molecular structures of [2]OTf, trans-RuCl(CCC₆H₄OMe-4)(dppe)₂ (3b), trans-RuCl(CCC₆H₄Me-4)(dppe)₂ (3c) and trans-RuCl(CCC₆H₄CO₂Me-4)(dppe)₂ (3e) are described. A facile and reproducible synthesis of cis-1 is also reported.

Reaction of NCC₆H₄X-4 (X  Me, OMe, or Cl) with trans-[ReCl(N₂)(dppe)₂] (dppe  Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂), at room temperature, in the presence of Tl[BF₄], gives the corresponding complexes cis-[Re(NCC₆H₄X-4)₂(dppe)₂][BF₄] (1); the crystal structure of 1 (X  Me) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF DIAZENIDO,HYDRAZIDO(2-), AND HYDRIDO-HYDRAZIDO(2-) COMPLEXES OF TUNGSTEN. X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON SPECTROSCOPY OF DINITROGEN AND HYDRAZIDO(2-) COMPLEXES OF MOLYBDENUM AND TUNGSTEN

Abstract

Reactions of HBr with trans-[W(N₂)₂(dppe)PPh₂Me)₂] (1) (dppe = Ph₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂) result in protonation of coordinated N₂ but no formation of ammonia or hydrazine. The tungsten-containing product depends upon the reaction conditions: (i) in MeOH, the product formed is [WBr(NNH₂) (dppe)(PPh₂Me)₂]HBr₂ (2) which converts to the hydride, [WBr₂(H)(NNH₂(dppe)(PPh₂Me)](Br(3), with loss of phosphine in THF or CH₂Cl₂, (ii) in THF or CH₂Cl₂, the hydride (3) is formed directly. Reaction of 2 with Na₂CO₃ in MeOH results in the loss of HBr and the formation of the diazenido complex [WBr(NNH)(dppe)(PPh₂Me)₂] which reacts further with Na₂CO₃ in benzene under N₂ to lose HBr and form a mixture of 1 and trans-[W(N₂)(dppe)₂]. The reaction of 1 with aqueous HF forms [WF(NNH₂)(dppe)(PPh₂Me)₂]BF₄. The X-ray photoelectron spectra of trans-[M(N₂)₂ (dppe)₂], [MBr(NNH₂)(dppe)₂Br (M = Mo, W), [WCl(NNH₂)(dppe)₂]Cl, [WCl(N)(dppe)₂]Cl and [WCl(NH) (dppe)₂] are reported. In all of these complexes, nitrogen is in a highly reduced form.     

The electronic properties of isocyanides at rhenium—dinitrogen binding sites. Preparation and redox properties of the isocyanide complexes trans-[ReCl(CNR)(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2]

The isocyanide complexes trans-[ReCl(CNR)(dppe)₂] (R  Me, Bu^t, C₆H₄CH₃-4, C₆H₄CH₃-2, C₆H₄Cl-4, C₆H₄OCH₃-4 and C₆H₃Cl₂-2,6; dppe  Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) have been prepared by isocyanide displacement of dinitrogen from the parent complex trans-[ReCl(N₂)(ddpe)₂]. Their redox properties have been studied by cyclic voltammetry and are interpreted on the basis of the electronic properties and the geometry of the ligating isocyanides which are believed to be bent in these complexes, appearing to exhibit ligand parameter (P_L) values ca. +0.3 V higher than those which would be expected for linear geometry. A very high polarisability (B ? 3.4) is observed for the {ReCl(dppe)₂} site.     

A first methodical approach to salts with unsymmetrical fluorophenyl(pentafluorophenyl)difluoroiodonium(V) cations [Rf(RF)IF2] (Rf=x-FC6H4, x=2, 3, 4; RF=C6F5)

A promising approach to the unknown type of [Ar′(Ar)IF₂]X salts is offered. x-FC₆H₄IF₄ (x=2, 3, 4) reacts with C₆F₅BF₂ in CH₂Cl₂ and forms [x-FC₆H₄(C₆F₅)IF₂][BF₄] salts in good yields. For [4-FC₆H₄(C₆F₅)IF₂][BF₄] the fluoro-oxidizer property is shown in reactions with weakly reducing agents like E(C₆F₅)₃ (E=P, As, Sb, Bi) and ArI (Ar=4-FC₆H₄, C₆F₅). The fluorine/aryl substitution method is also applied to the synthesis of [(4-FC₆H₄)₂IF₂][BF₄], an example with two identical aryl groups in the difluoroiodonium(V) moiety.     

Stabilisation of [Fe2(CO)9] and [Ru2(CO)9] bu substitution with bridging diphosphorus ligands

Reaction of [Fe₂(CO)₉] with a half molar amount of R₂PYPR₂ (Y = CH₂, R = Ph, Me, OMe or OPrⁱ; Y = N(Et), R = OPh, OMe or OCH₂; Y = N(Me), R = OPrⁱ or OEt) leads to the ready formation of a product which on irradiation with ultraviolet light rapidly decarbonylates to the heptacarbonyl derivative [Fe₂(μ-CO)(CO)₆{μ-R₂PYPR₂}]. Treatment of the latter with a slight excess of the appropriate ligand results, under photochemical conditions, in the formation of the dinuclear pentacarbonyl complex [Fe₂(μ-CO)(C))₄{μ-R₂PYPR₂}₂] but under thermal conditions in the formation of the mononuclear species [Fe(CO)₃{R₂PYPR₂}]. Reaction of [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with an equimolar amount of (RO)₂PN(R′)P(OR)₂ (R′ = Me, R = Prⁱ or Et; R′ = Et, R = Ph or Me) under either thermal or photochemical conditions produces [Ru₃(CO)₁₀{μ-(RO)₂PN(OR)₂}] which reacts further with excess (RO)₂PN(R′)P(OR)₂ on irradiation with ultraviolet light to afford the dinuclear compound [Ru₂(μ-CO)(CO₄{μ-(RO)₂PN(R′)P(OR)₂}₂]. The molecular structure of [Ru₂(μ-CO)(CO)₄{μ-(MeO)₂PN(Et)P(OMe)₂}₂], which has been determined by X-ray crystallography, is described.     

Reactions of the dinitrogen complextrans-[ReCl(N2)(dppe)2] with thiolate compounds and with carbon bisulphide

Summary The complextrans-[ReCl(N₂)(dppe)₂], (1) reacts with the thiolate salts Li[SC₆H₄Me-4], Tl[SC₆H₄Me-4] and [Pb(SBu-t)₂] to yield [ReCl(SC₆H₄Me-4)(dppe)₂], [Re(SC₆H₄Me-4) (dppe)₂] and [{ReO(dppe)}₂(-Cl)(-S)(-SBu-t)] (tentative formulation), respectively. The [ReCl(²-CS₂)(dppe)₂] complex appears to be formed by reaction of (1) with CS₂.     

Syntheses and properties of cyanamide and cyanoguanidine complexes of platinum(II). X-Ray structure of trans-[Pt(CF3)(NCNEt2)(PPh3)2][BF4]

Complexes trans-[PtX(L)(PPh₃)₂]A [1: X = CF₃; A = BF₄; L = NCNH₂, NCNMe₂, NCNEt₂, or NCNC(NH₂)₂. 2: X = Cl; A = BPh₄; L = NCNMe₂ or NCNEt₂] and cis-[PtCl(L)(PPh₃)₂][BPh₄] [3: L = NCNH₂ or NCNC(NH₂)₂], which appear to be the first cyanamide or cyanoguanidine complexes of platinum to be reported, have been prepared by treatment of trans-[PtBr(CF₃)(PPh₃)₂] (in CH₂Cl₂/acetone and in the presence of Ag[BF₄]) or of cis-[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] (in THF and in the presence of Na[BPh₄]), respectively, with the appropriate substrate. In KBr pellets or in solution 1 (L = NCNMe₂ or NCNEt₂) undergoes ready replacement of the organocyanamide (under the trans influence of CF₃) by bromide to regenerate trans-(PtBr(CF₃)(PPh₃)₂]. The X-ray structure of 1 (X = CF₃, A = BF₄, L = NCNEt₂) is also reported, and shows the presence of two apical intramolecular contacts of the metal with two ortho-hydrogen atoms of the phosphines, whereas the amine N atom of the diethylcyanamide is trigonal planar in the linear NCN framework with a delocalized π system.     

Reactivity of carbyne and carbene complexes of molybdenum and tungsten

Summary The interconversion of carbyne, carbyne and hydride complexes derived from protonations oftrans-[M(CNMe)₂(dppe)₂](M = Mo or W) has been studied. The initial site of protonation is shown to be the isonitrile nitrogen and all protonations proceed through the common carbyne intermediatetrans-[M(CNHMe)(CNMe)(dppe)2]⁺. The CNHMe group in traps-[M(CNHMe)₂(dppe)₂]²⁺ is shown to be susceptible to electrophilic attack at N and nucleophilic attack at ligating C, the new complexestrans-[W(CNH2Me)(CNHMe)(dppe)₂](BF₄)₃ andtrans-[Mo(CHNHMe)(CNHMe)(dppe)2]BF4 being formed, respectively.     

Ligand assisted homolytic cleavage of the Ru-Ru single bond in [Ru2(CO)4] core and the chemical consequence

The Ru-Ru single bond in [Ru₂(CO)₄(MeCN)₆][BF₄]₂ remains intact in the reaction with 2-i-propyl-1,8-naphthyridine (ⁱPrNP) and the isolated product is the cis-[Ru₂(ⁱPrNP)₂(CO)₄(OTf)₂] (1) obtained via crystallization in the presence of [n-Bu₄N][OTf]. The 2-t-butyl-1,8-naphthyridine (^tBuNP), on the contrary, leads to the oxidative cleavage of the Ru-Ru single bond resulting in the trans-[Ru(^tBuNP)₂(MeCN)₂][BF₄]₂[NC(Me)C(Me)N] (2). The anti-[NC(Me)C(Me)N]²⁻ is the product of the two-electron reductive coupling of two acetonitrile molecules. The phenoxo appendage in 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthyridine (hpNP) brings the identical effect of the scission of the Ru-Ru bond but the process is non-oxidative and the product obtained is the cis-[Ru(hpNP)₂(CO)₂][BF₄] (3). The bis-(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) in dichloromethane oxidatively cleave the Ru-Ru bond leading to chloro bridged [Ru(μ-Cl)(dppm)(CO)(MeCN)]₂[BF₄]₂ (4). All the complexes have been characterized by the spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements and their structures have been established by X-ray diffraction study.     

A synthetic route to heteronuclear clusters containing iridium and rhodium: X-ray crystal structures of [IrOs3(μ-H)2(μ-Cl)(CO)12] and [Ir2Rh2(μ-CO)(μ3-CO)2(CO)4(η-C5Me5)2]

The iridium and rhodium complexes [MCl(CO)₂(NH₂C₆H₄Me-4)] (M = Ir or Rh) react with [Os₃(μ-H)₂(CO)₁₀] to give the tetranuclear clusters [MOs₃(μ-H)₂(μ-Cl)(CO)₁₂]; the iridium compound being structurally identified by X-ray diffraction. Similarly, [IrCl(CO)₂(NH₂C₆H₄Me-4)] and [Rh₂(μ-CO)₂(η-C₅Me₅)₂] afford the tetranuclear cluster [Ir₂Rh₂(μ-CO)(μ₃-CO)₂(CO)₄(η-C₅Me₅)₂], also characterised by single-crystal X-ray crystallog     

Synthesis and Reactivity of Iridium(I) Fluorido Complexes: Oxidative Addition of SF4 at trans-[Ir(F)(CO)(PEt3)2]

The facile access to the Vaska type fluorido complexes trans-[Ir(F)(CO)(PR₃)₂] [ 6 : R = Et, 7 : R = Ph, 8 : R = iPr, 9 : R = Cy, 10 : R = tBu] was achieved by halide exchange at trans-[Ir(Cl)(CO)(PR₃)₂] ( 1 – 5 ) with Me₄NF. Furthermore, the reaction of complex 6 with SF₄ gave cis,trans-[Ir(F)₂(SF₃)(CO)(PEt₃)₂] ( 11 ), whereas 8 – 10 did not react. Reactivity studies revealed that 11 can selectively be manipulated at the sulfur atom by hydrolysis or fluoride abstraction to give cis,trans-[Ir(F)₂(SOF)(CO)(PEt₃)₂] ( 12 ) and cis,trans-[Ir(F)₂(SF₂)(CO)(PEt₃)₂][AsF₆] ( 13 ), respectively.     

New cationic palladium (II) and rhodium (I) complexes of [Ph2PCH2C(Ph)N(2,6-Me2C6H3)]

Treatment of the bulky iminophosphine ligand [Ph₂PCH₂C(Ph)N(2,6-Me₂C₆H₃)] (L) with [M(CH₃CN)₂(ligand)]⁺ⁿ, where for M = Pd(II): ligand = η³-allyl, n = 1, and for M = Rh(I), ligand: 2(C₂H₄), 2(CO) or cod, n = 0, yields the mono-cationic iminophosphine complexes [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(L)][BF₄] (1), [Rh(cod)(L)][BF₄] (2), [Rh(CO)(CH₃CN)(L)][BF₄] (3), and cis-[Rh(L)₂][BF₄] (4). All the new complexes have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 shows moderate activity in the copolymerisation of CO and ethene but is inactive towards Heck coupling of 4-bromoacetophenone and n-butyl acrylate.     

The reaction of trihydrobistriphenylphosphine iridium IrH3(PPh3)2 with diazonium salts

The reaction of IrH₃(PPh₃)₂ with p-substituted aryldiazonium salts gives the compounds [IrH₂(NHNC₆H₄R)(PPh₃)₂]⁺BF₄^- at low temperature (-10°C) and the o-metalated complexes [I$\text{rH(NHN}$C₆H₃R)(PPh₃)₂]⁺BF₄^- (R  F, OCH₃) at 40–50°C. The reactions of the o-metalated complexes with CO, PPh₃, NaI and HCl have been studied.     

Coordination properties of N2S (1,5-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-3-thiapentane) or N2S2 (1,8-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane or 1,2-bis[3-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-2-thiapropyl]benzene) donor ligands toward Rh(I)

The 1,5-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-3-thiapentane ligand (bdtp) reacts with [Rh(COD)(THF)₂][BF₄] to give [Rh(COD)(bdtp)][BF₄] ([1][BF₄]), which is fluxional in solution on the NMR time scale. Its further treatment with carbon monoxide leads to a displacement of the 1,5-cyclooctadiene ligand, generating a mixture of two complexes, namely, [Rh(CO)₂(bdtp)][BF₄] ([2][BF₄]) and [Rh(CO)(bdtp-κ³N,N,S)][BF₄] ([3][BF₄]). In solution, [2][BF₄] exists as a mixture of two isomers, [Rh(CO)₂(bdtp-κ²N,N)]⁺ ([2a]⁺) and [Rh(CO)₂(bdtp-κ³N,N,S)]⁺ ([2b]⁺; major isomer) rapidly interconverting on the NMR time scale. At room temperature, [2][BF₄] easily loses one molecule of carbon monoxide to give [3][BF₄]. The latter is prone to react with carbon monoxide to partially regenerate [2][BF₄]. The ligands 1,2-bis[3-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-2-thiapropyl]benzene (bddf) and 1,8-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane (bddo) are seen to react with two equivalents of [Rh(COD)(THF)₂][BF₄] to give the dinuclear complexes [Rh₂(bddf)(COD)₂][BF₄]₂ ([4][BF₄]₂) and [Rh₂(bddo)(COD)₂][BF₄]₂ ([5][BF₄]₂), respectively. In such complexes, the ligand acts as a double pincer holding two rhodium atoms through a chelation involving S and N donor atoms. Bubbling carbon monoxide into a solution of [4][BF₄]₂ results in loss of the COD ligand and carbonylation to give [Rh₂(bddf)(CO)₄][BF₄]₂ ([6][BF₄]₂). The single-crystal X-ray structures of [3][CF₃SO₃], [5][BF₄]₂ and [6][BF₄]₂ are reported.     

Vinyliden-Übergangsmetallkomplexe XXVI. Synthese und struktur kationischer Carbonyl-, Alken-, Vinyliden-, Alkinyl- und Alkin-Rhodiumkomplexe mit der Baueinheit trans-[Rh(PPr3)2]

The complex trans-[Rh(CO)(NH₃)(PiPr₃)₂]PF₆ (2) was prepared from [(η³-C₃H₅)Rh(PⁱPr₃)₂] (1), NH₄PF₆ and CO or from 1 and NH₄PF₆ in presence of an excess of methanol. With an excess of CO, the dicarbonyl and tricarbonyl compounds trans-[Rh(CO)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (3) and [Rh(CO)₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (4) were obtained. Displacement of one CO ligand in 3 by pyridine and acetone led to the formation of trans-[Rh(CO)(py)PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (5a) and trans-[Rh(CO) (O=CMe₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (6), respectively. Treatment of 1 with [pyH]BF₄ and pyridine gave trans-[Rh(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (7); in presence of H₂ the dihydrido complex [RhH₂(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (8) was formed. The reaction of 1 with NH₄PF₆ and ethylene produced trans [Rh(C₂H₄(NH₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆(9) whereas with methylvinylketone and acetophenone the octahedral hydridorhodium(III) complexes [RhH(η²-CH=CHC(=O)CH₃ (NH₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆(11) and [RhH(η2-C₆H₄C(=O)CH₃(NH₃(Pⁱpr₃)₂]PF₆ (13) were obtained. The synthesis of the cationic vinylidenerhodium(I) compounds trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (14–16) and trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃) ₂]PF6 (17–19) was achieved either on treatment of 1 with [pyH]BF₄ or NH₄PF₆ in presence of 1-alkynes or by ethylene displacement from 9 by HCCR. With tert-butylacetylene as substrate, the alkinyl(hydrido)rhodium(III) complex [RhH(CC^tBu)(NH₃)(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃) ₂]PF₆ (20) was isolated which in CH₂Cl₂ solution smoothly reacted to give 19 (R =^tBu). The cationic but-2-yne compound trans-[Rh(MeCCMe)(NH₃)(Pⁱ Pr₃)₂]PF₆ (21) was prepared from 1, NH₄PF₆ and C₂Me₂. The molecular structures of 3 and 14 were determined by X-ray crystallography; in both cases the square-planar coordination around the metal and the trans disposition of the phosphine ligands was confirmed.

Abstract

Der Komplex trans-[Rh(CO)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (2) wurde aus [(η³-C₃H₅)Rh(PⁱPr₃)₂] (1), NH₄PF₆ und CO oder aus 1, NH₄PF₆ und Methanol hergestellt. In Gegenwart von überschüssigem CO wurden die Dicarbonyl- und Tricarbonyl-Verbindungen trans-[Rh(CO)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (3) und [Rh(CO)₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (4) erhalten. Die Verdrängung eines CO-Liganden in 3 durch Pyridin oder Aceton führte zur Bildung von trans-[Rh(CO)(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (5a) bzw. trans-[Rh(CO)(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (6). Bei Einwirkung von [pyH]BF₄ und Pyridin auf 1 entstand trans-[Rh(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (7); in Gegenwart von H₂ bildete sich der Dihydrido-Komplex [RhH₂(py)₂(PⁱPr₃) ₂]BF₄ (8). Die Reaktion von 1 mit NH₄PF₆ und Ethen lieferte trans-[Rh(C₂H₄)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂] PF₆ (9) während mit Methylvinylketon und Acetophenon die oktaedrischen Hydridorhodium(III)-Komplexe [RhH(η²-CH=CHC(=O)CH₃ (NH₃)-(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (11) und [RhH(η-²-C₆H₄C(=O)CH₃(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂)₂]PF₆ (13) erhalten wurden. Die Synthese der kationischen Vinyli-denrhodium(I)-Verbindungen trans-[Rh(=C=CHR(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (14–16) und trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (17–19) gelang durch Einwirkung von [pyH]BF₄ bzw. NH₄PF₆ auf 1 in Gegenwart von 1-Alkinen oder durch Ethen-Verdrängung aus 9 mit HCCR. Mit tert-Butylacetylen als Reaktionspartner wurde der Alkinyl(hydrido)rhodium(III)-Komplex [RhH(CC^tBu)(NH₃(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (20) isoliert, der in CH₂Cl₂-Lösung sofort zu 19 (R =^tBu) reagiert. Die kationische 2-Butin-Verbindung trans -[Rh(MeCCMe)(NH₃)PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (21) wurde aus 1, NH₄PF₆ und C₂Me₂ hergestellt. Die Strukturen von 3 und 14 wurden kristallographisch bestimmt; in beiden Fa len ließ sich die quadratisch-planare Koordination des Metalls und die trans-Anordnung der Phosphanliganden bestätigen.     

Synthesis of organometallic hydrotris(pyrazol-1-yl)boratoruthenium(II) complexes

The reactions of K[HB(pz)₃] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) with the coordinatively unsaturated σ-vinyl complexes [Ru(CRCHR)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂] (R = H, Me, C₆H₅) proceed with loss of a chloride and a phosphine ligand to provide the compounds [Ru(CRCHR)(CO)(PPh₃){HB(pz)₃}] in high yield. Similar treatment of the complex [Ru(C₆H₄Me-4)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂] leads to the related σ-aryl derivative [Ru(C₆H₄Me-4)(CO)(PPh₃){HB(pz)₃}] whilst the complex [RuClH(CO)(PPh₃)₃] treated successively with diphenylbutadiyne and K[HB(pz)₃] provides the unusual derivative [Ru{C(CCPh)CHPh}(CO)(PPh₃){HB(pz)₃}].     

Metallabis(phosphonate) als Chelatliganden. I. Synthese einkerniger Nickelbis(phosphonat)–Komplexe mit OHO-Wasserstoffbrücke und entsprechender Alkali-metall-, Ammonium- und Thallium-Verbindungen

Nickelocen reagiert mit Dialkylphosphiten HP(O)(OR)₂ zu den Komplexen C₅H₅Ni[{P(OR)₂O}₂H] ( 1 :R ? Me; 2 :R ? Et), in denen ein sechsgliedriger NiP₂O₂H-Ring mit einer vermutlich symmetrischen OHO-Wasserstoffbrücke vorliegt. Die Umsetzung von 1 mit HBF₄ führt zu C₅H₅Ni[{P(OMe)₂O}₂BF₂] ( 3 ). Mit NH₃ und Thalliumacetylacetonat entstehen aus 1 bzw. 2 die Komplexe [C₅H₅Ni{P(OR)₂O}₂]NH₄ ( 4, 5 ) und [C₅H₅Ni{P(OR)₂O}₂]Tl ( 6, 7 ). Die entsprechenden Alkalimetallverbindungen [C₅H₅Ni{P(OMe)₂O}₂]M ( 8 :M ? Li; 9 :M ? Na) sind ausgehend von C₅H₅Ni[P(OMe)₃][P(O)(OMe)₂] und LiI bzw. NaI zugänglich. C₅H₅Ni[P(OMe)₃][P(O)(OMe)₂] reagiert mit HgI₂ zu C₅H₅Ni[P(OMe)₃]I und [IHg{P(O)(OMe)₂}]₂. Metallabisphosphonates as Chelating Ligands. I. Synthesis of Mononuclear Nickelbisphosphonates Containing a OHO-Hydrogen Bridge and of Corresponding Alkali Metal, Ammonium, and Thallium Compounds Nickelocene reacts with dialkylphosphites HP(O)(OR)₂ to form the complexes C₅H₅Ni[{P(OR)₂O}₂H] ( 1 :R ? Me; 2 :Et) which contain a six-membered NiP₂O₂H ring with a presumably symmetrically OHO-hydrogen bond. The reaction of 1 with HBF₄ leads to C₅H₅Ni?[{P(OMe)₂O}₂BF₂] ( 3 ). The complexes 1 and 2 react with NH₃ and thallium acetylacetonate to give [C₅H₅Ni{P(OR)₂O}₂]NH₄ ( 4, 5 ) and [C₅H₅Ni{P(OR)₂O}₂]Tl ( 6, 7 ), respectively. The corresponding alkali metal compounds [C₅H₅Ni{P(OMe)₂O}₂]M ( 8 :M ? Li; 9 :M ? Na) are formed in the reaction of C₅H₅Ni[P(OMe)₃][P(O)(OMe)₂] with LiI or NaI. With HgI₂, C₅H₅Ni[P(OMe)₃][P(O)(OMe)₂] reacts to yield C₅H₅Ni[P(OMe)₃]I and [IHg{P(O)(OMe)₂}]₂.
