Dimethylchalkogenide als liganden in kationischen cyclopentadienyleisen-bis(phosphin)-komplexen: synthese, reaktivität und kristallstruktur von [C5H5Fe(P(OCH3)3)2(S(CH3)2)]PF6

Thermal displacement of coordinated nitriles RCN (R = CH₃, C₂H₅ or n-C₃H₇) in [C₅H₅Fe(L₂)(NCR)]X complexes (L₂ = P(OCH₃)₃)₂, (P(OC₆H₅)₃)₂ or (C₆H₅)₂PC₂H₄P(C₆H₅)₂ (DPPE)) by E(CH₃)₂ affords high yields of [C₅H₅Fe(L₂)(E(CH₃)₂)]X compounds (E = S, Se and Te; X = BF₄ or PF₆). Spectroscopic data and ligand displacement reactions are presented and discussed together with related observations on [C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂(E(CH₃)₂)]BF₄ compounds. The molecular structure of [C₅H₅Fe(P(OCH₃)₃)₂(S(CH₃)₂)]PF₆ was determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study: monoclinic, space group P2₁/n-C⁵_2h (No. 14) with a = 8.4064(12), b = 11.183(2), c = 50.726(8) Å, β = 90.672(13)° and Z = 8 molecules per unit cell. The coordination sphere of the iron atom is pseudo-tetrahedral with an Fe---S bond distance of 2.238 Å.     

New heterodimetallic cyclopentadienyl carbonyl complexes: crystal structure of (C5Me4Et)(μ-CO)3Ru(C5Me5)

A series of heterodimetallic complexes of general formula (C₅R₅)M(μ-CO)₃RuC₅Me₅ (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = Me, Et) has been prepared in good yields by the reaction of [C₅R₅M(CO)₃]⁻ with [C₅Me₅Ru(CH₃CN)₃]⁺. (C₅Me₄Et)W(μ-CO)₃Ru(C₅Me₅) was characterized by a crystal structure determination. The W---Ru bond length of 2.41 Å is consistent with the formulation of a metal-metal triple bond, while the unsymmetrical bonding mode of the three bridging carbonyl groups reflects the inherent non-equivalence of the two different C₅R₅M-units. Using [CpRu(CH₃CN)₃]⁺ or [CpRu(CO)₂(CH₃CN)]⁺ as the cationic precursor leads to the formation of dimetallic species (C₅R₅)M(CO)₅RuC₅H₅ with both bridging and terminal carbonyl groups.     

Synthesis and characterization of Na5[Co(CO)3(P{(CH2)nC6H4-P-SO3}3)2], n = 1, 2, 3, and 6. Novel zwitterion

The electron donating water soluble phosphines, P{(CH₂)nC₆H₄-p-SO₃Na}₃,n = 1, 2, 3 and 6, react rapidly with Co₂(CO)₈ under two phase reaction conditions to yield the disproportionation products, [Co(CO)₃(P{(CH₂)nC₆H₄-p-SO₃Na₃}₂] [Co(CO)₄]. Selective precipitation yields the formally zwitterionic complex anions as the sodium salt, [Co(CO)₃(P{(CH₂)nC₆H₄-p-SO₃} ₃)₂]⁵⁻. The anions can be used as precursors to water soluble cobalt hydroformylation catalysts under two phase and supported aqueous phase conditions. The tendency to form alcohol products is low with these complexes. The behavior of the catalysts is consistent with an active species that remains water soluble during the reaction and is not leached into the nonaqueous phase.     

Synthesis and structural behavior of the P-functional organotin chlorides [Ph2P(CH2)3]2SnCl2, Ph2P(CH2)3SnCl2Me, and Ph2P(CH2)nSnCl3 (n=2, 3)

The P-functional organotin dichloride [Ph₂P(CH₂)₃]₂SnCl₂ (3) is synthesized by reaction of Ph₂P(CH₂)₃MgCl with SnCl₄ independently of the molar ratio of the starting compounds. The corresponding organotin trichlorides Ph₂P(CH₂)_nSnCl₂R (4: n=2, R=Cl; 5: n=3, R=Cl; 6: n=3, R=Me) are formed in a cleavage reaction of Ph₂P(CH₂)_nSnCy₃ (n=2, 3) with SnCl₄ or MeSnCl₃, respectively. The main features of the crystal structures of 3–6 are both intra- and intermolecular PSn coordinations and the existence of intermolecular Sn---ClSn bridges. For further characterization of the title compounds, the adducts 4(Ph₃PO)₂ (7) and 5(Ph₃PO) (8), as well as the P-oxides and P-sulfides of 3–6 (9–15), are synthesized. The results of crystal structure analyses of 7, 11, 12, and 14 are reported. The structures of 9–15 are characterized by intramolecular P=XSn interactions (X=O, S). A first insight into the structural behavior of the compounds 3–15 in solution is discussed on the basis of multinuclear NMR data.     

Multiple ligand transfer reaction between [CpRu(L)(AN)2][PF6] (L=AN, CO, P(OMe)3; AN=acetonitrile) and CpFe(CO)L′X (L′=CO, PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3, P(OPh)3; X=Cl, Br, I)

Treatment of ruthenium complexes [CpRu(AN)₃][PF₆] (1a) (AN=acetonitrile) with iron complexes CpFe(CO)₂X (2a–2c) (X=Cl, Br, I) and CpFe(CO)L′X (6a–6g) (L′=PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃; X=Cl, Br, I) in refluxing CH₂Cl₂ for 3 h results in a triple ligand transfer reaction from iron to ruthenium to give stable ruthenium complexes CpRu(CO)₂X (3a–3c) (X=Cl, Br, I) and CpRu(CO)L′X (7a–7g) (L′=PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃; X=Br, I), respectively. Similar reaction of [CpRu(L)(AN)₂][PF₆] (1b: L=CO, 1c: P(OMe)₃) causes double ligand transfer to yield complexes 3a–3c and 7a–7h. Halide on iron, CO on iron or ruthenium, and two acetonitrile ligands on ruthenium are essential for the present ligand transfer reaction. The dinuclear ruthenium complex 11a [CpRu(CO)(μ-I)]₂ was isolated from the reaction of 1a with 6a at 0°C. Complex 11a slowly decomposes in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature to give 3a, and transforms into 7a by the reaction with PMe₃.     

Metallorganische lewissäuren : XX. Reaktionen von (π-C5H5)(CO)2LM-X (L = CO, PR3; M = Mo, W; X = BF4, PF6, AsF6, SbF6) mit Schwefel-haltigen liganden

The compounds (π-C₅H₅)(CO)₂LM-X (L = CO, PR₃; M = Mo, W; X = BF₄, PF₆, AsF₆, SbF₆) react with H₂S, p-MeC₆H₄SH, Ph₂S and Ph₂SO(L′) to give ionic complexes [(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₂LML′]⁺ X⁻. Also sulfur-bridged complexes, [(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₃W---SH---W(CO)₃(π-C₅H₅)]⁺ AsF₆⁻ and [(π-C₅H₅)(CO)₃M-μ-S₂C=NCH₂Ph-M(CO)₃(π-C₅H₅)], have been obtained. Reactions with SO₂ and CS₂ have been examined.     

The chemistry of compounds of the type Ru(η---C5Me4Et)(CO)2X (X=Cl, Br or I)

The title compounds react with unidentate ligands, L, containing either phosphorus or arsenic donor atoms to yield the corresponding compounds of the type Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)LX; with didentate phosphorus donor ligands the major species formed is the bridged complex {Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)X}₂{Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh ₂} n = 1, X = Br; n = 2, X = Cl). In contrast, unidentate ligands containing nitrogen donor atoms such as pyridine did not react with Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂Cl although reaction with 1,10-phenanthroline or diethylenetriamine yielded the ionic products [Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)L]⁺Cl⁻ (L = phen or (NH₂CH₂CH₂)₂NH). Reaction of Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂Br with AgOAc yielded the corresponding acetato complex Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂0Ac. Ru(η⁵--- C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂X reacts with AgY (Y = BF₄ or PF₆) in either acetone or dichloromethane to give the useful solvent intermediates [Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂(solvent)]⁺Y⁻, which readily react with ligands L to yield ionic derivatives of the type [Ru(η⁵---C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂L]⁺Y⁻ (where L = CO, NCMe, py, C₂H₄ or MeO₂CCCCO₂Me).     

Synthesis, characterization and antitumor activity of some arylantimony triphenylgermanylpropionates and crystal structures of Ph3GeCH(Ph)CH2CO2SbPh4 and [Ph3GeCH2CH(CH3)CO2]2Sb(4-ClC6H4)3

A series of novel arylantimony(V) triphenylgermanylpropionates with the formula (Ph₃GeCHR¹CHR²CO₂)_nSbAr_(5−n) (R¹=H, Ph; R²=H, CH₃; n=1, 2) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and mass spectroscopy. The crystal structures of Ph₃GeCH(Ph)CH₂CO₂SbPh₄ and [Ph₃GeCH₂CH(CH₃)CO₂]₂Sb(4-ClC₆H₄)₃ were determined by X-ray diffraction. The in vitro antitumor activities of some selected compounds against five cancer cells are reported.     

Stability of the silicon-ruthenium bond in the presence of a strong nucleophile. Phase sensitive H NMR COSY and crystal structure of Ru(CO)2(NH2CH2C6H5)2(Si(C6H5)(CH3)2)I

The ruthenium(II) complex Ru(CO)₂(NH₂(NH₂CH₂C₆H₅)₂(Si(C₆H₅)(CH₃)₂)I has been prepared by the reaction of Ru(CO)₄(Si(C₆H₅)(CH₃)₂)I with benzylamine. Two-dimensional homonuclear ¹H NMR experiments examine the scalar coupling of the enantiotopic amino and methylene protons of the benzylamine ligand. X-ray analysis of Ru(CO)₂(NH₂CH₂C₆H₅)₂(Si(C₆H₅)(CH₃)₂)I·1/3C₅H₁₂ (triclinic; P ; a = 14.266(4), b = 15.748(5), c = 20.082(6) Å; = 94.38(3), β = 96.30(2), γ = 101.52(2)°) indicates three crystallographically unique complexes form a clathrate with a pentane guest.     

Synthesis and reactions of H3Ru3(μ3-CSet)(CO)9. Reductive elimination of C---H bonds and insertion of alkynes into Ru---C and Ru---H bonds

Synthesis of H₃Ru₃(μ₃-CSEt)(CO)₉, is accomplished by base-promoted attack of ethanethiol on H₃Ru₃(μ₃-CBr)(CO)₉. Thermolysis of this product under CO yields HRu₃(CH₂SEt)(CO)₉. Reactions of H₃Ru₃(μ₃-CSEt)(CO)₉ with alkynes C₂R₂ form HRu₃(μ₃-η³-EtSCCRCR)(CO)₉ (R = Me or Ph) and Ru₃ (cis-CR=CHR)(CSEt)(CO)₉ (R = Me). The chemistry of H₃Ru₃(μ₃-CSEt)(CO)₉ differs significantly from that of the analogous ether derivative H₃Ru₃(μ₃-COMe)(CO)₉.     

Synthesis and decomposition of neutral palladium(IV) complexes containing fac-PdMe2R groups, including reductive elimination by η-propenylpalladium(IV) complexes to form η-propenylpalladium(II) species

Oxidative addition of ethyl iodide to PdMe₂(2,2′-bipyridyl) in (CD₃)₂CO gives the unstable “PdIMe₂Et(bpy)”, which undergoes reductive elimination to form PdIR(bpy) (R = Me, Et), ethane, and propane. Ethene and palladium metal are also formed, and are attributed to decomposition of PdIEt(bpy) via β-elimination. Similar results are obtained with n-propyl iodide, although a palladium(IV) intermediate was not detected, but CH₂=CHCH₂X (X = Br, I) and PhCH=CHCH₂Br give isolable complexes fac-PdXMe₂(CH₂CH=CHR)(L₂) (R = H, Ph; L₂ = bpy, phen). The propenyl complexes decompose at ambient temperature to form ethane, a trace of PdXMe(L₂), and mixtures of [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(L₂)]X and [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(L₂)]-[Pd(η³-C₃H₅)X₂]; for fac-PdBrMe₂(CH₂CH=CH₂)(bpy) the major palladium(II) product is [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(bpy)]Br.     

Highly stereoselective reduction of methyl ketone complexes of the chiral Lewis acid [(η-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)] by K(s-C4H9)3BH; synthesis of optically active secondary alcohols and derivatives

Reaction of optically active ketone complexes (+)-(R)-[(η⁵-C₅H₅)Re(NO)-(PPh₃)(η¹-O=C(R)(CH₃)]⁺ BF₄⁻ (R = CH₂CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂m C(CH₃)₃, C₆H₅) with K(s-C₄H₉)₃BH gives alkoxide complexes (+)-(RS)-(η⁵-C₅H₅)Re(NO)(PPh₃)-(OCH(R)CH₃) (73–90%) in 80–98% de. The alkoxide ligand is then converted to Mosher esters (93–99%) of 79–98% de.     

The reactions of some protected and unprotected monosaccharides with M(NO){HB(3,5-Me2C3HN2)3}X2 (M = Mo, X = Cl, Br, I; M = W, X = Cl)

The reactions between [M(NO){HB(3,5-Me₂C₃HN₂)₃}X₂] (M = Mo, X = Cl, Br, I; M = W, X = Cl) and the monosaccharides 2,3:4,5-di-O-iso-propylidene-β- -fructopyranose, 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-- -mannofuranose, methyl-- -glucopyranoside and -(+)-mannofuranose have been investigated and the complexes [M(NO){HB(3,5- Me₂C₃HN₂)₃}X(OR)] (M = Mo, X = Cl, Br, I; M = W, X = Cl; ROH = 2,3:4,5-di-O- isopropylidene-β- -fructopyranose) have been isolated as mixtures of diastereoisomers.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of [Ph2PMe2][(η-C5H4Bu)2Li] and [(η-C5H4Bu)2Yb(Cl)CH2P(Me)Ph2]

The interaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂YbCl · LiCl] with one equivalent of Li[(CH₂) (CH₂)PPh₂] in tetrahydrofuran gave [Ph₂PMe₂][(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂Li] (1) and [(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂Yb(Cl)CH₂P(Me)Ph₂] (2) in 10% and 30% yields, respectively. 1 could also be prepared in 70% yield from the reaction of [Ph₂PMe₂][CF₃SO₃] with two equivalents of (C₅H₄Bu^t)Li. Both compounds have been fully characterized by analytical, spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods. The solid state structure of 1 reveals a sandwich structure for the [(η⁵-C₅H₄Bu^t)₂Li]⁻ anion.     

Arylkomplexe des typs trans-[Ir(Ar)(CO)(PPh3)2]

The preparation and properties as well as some reactions of a series of arylcarbonylbis(triphenylphosphine)iridium(I) complexes [Ir(Ar)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] (Ar = C₆H₅, C₆F₅, 2-C₆H₄CH₃, 3-C₆H₄CH₃, 4-C₆H₄CH₃, 2-C₆H₄OCH₃, 2,6-C₆H₃-(OCH₃)₂, 4-C₆H₄N(CH₃)₂, 3-C₆H₄Cl, 4-C₆H₄Cl, 4-C₆H₄Cl, 3-C₆H₄CF₃, 4-C₆H₄CF₃) are described, and the most important IR data as well as the ³¹P NMR parameters of these, without exception trans-planar, compounds are given.

Some of the complexes react with molecular oxygen to form well defined dioxygen adducts [Ir(Ar)(O₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] (Ar = C₆H₅, 3-C₆H₄CH₃, 4-C₆H₄CH₃). Complexes with ortho-substituted aryl ligands are not oxygenated. This effect is referred to as a steric shielding of the metal center by the corresponding ortho-substituents. With SO₂ the similar irreversible addition compound [Ir(4-C₆H₄CH₃)-(SO₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] is obtained. Sulfur dioxide insertion into the Ir---C bond cannot be observed.

The first step of the reaction between [Ir(4-C₆H₄CH₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] and hydrogen chloride involves an oxidative addition of HCl to give [Ir(H)(Cl)(4-C₆-H₄CH₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂]. Ir---C bond cleavage by reductive elimination of toluene from the primary adduct does not occur except at elevated temperature.     

Synthesis, characterization of new Rh---Co mixed-metal clusters and reactions of clusters containing [Rh2Co2C2] core with 1-alkynes and/or carbon monoxide

Six new cluster derivatives [Rh₂Co₂(CO)₆(μ-CO)₄(μ₄,η²-HCCR)] (R=FeCp₂ 1, CH₂OH 2, (CH₃O)C₁₀H₆CH(CH₃)COOCH₂CCH 3) and [RhCo₃(CO)₆(μ-CO)₄(μ₄,η²-HCCR)] (R=FeCp₂ 4, CH₂OH 5, (CH₃O)C₁₀H₆CH(CH₃)COOCH₂CCH 6) were obtained by the reactions of [Rh₂Co₂(CO)₁₂] and [RhCo₃(CO)₁₂] with substituted 1-alkyne ligands HCCR [R=FeCp₂ 7, CH₂OH 8, (CH₃O)C₁₀H₆CH(CH₃) COOCH₂CCH 9] in n-hexane at room temperature, respectively. Alkynes insert into the Co---Co bond of the tetranuclear clusters to give butterfly clusters. [Rh₂Co₂(CO)₆(μ-CO)₄(μ₄,η²-HCCFeCp₂)] (1) was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Reactions of 1, 2 with 7, 8 and ambient pressure of carbon monoxide at 25 °C gave two known cluster complexes [Co₂(CO)₆(μ₂, η²-HCCR)] (R=FeCp₂ 10, CH₂OH 11), respectively. All clusters were characterized by element analysis, IR and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy.     

AQUEOUS PHASE SYNTHESIS OF(RC_5H_4)_2Ti(O_2CC_6H_4X)_2

Nine complexes(RC_5H_4)_2Ti(O_2CC_6H_4X)_2(R=H,CH_3;X=H,o-Cl,o-OH,o-NH_2,o-NHPh)have been conveniently prepared by the reaction of(RC_5H_4)_2TiCl_2 with 2 equiv.sodium salts of corresponding carboxylic acidin aqueous solution containing acetylacetone.The carboxylate ligands inthe complexes coordinate to titanium atom in monodentate mode.     

Synthesis and characterization of oxo---imido and alkyl---imido complexes of molybdenum(VI)

Treatment of the complex Mo(Nmes)(O)Cl₂(dme) (mes=2,4,6-trimethylphenyl; dme=1,2-dimethoxyethane) with KTp^Me2, NaCp and bipy gives the corresponding derivatives (Tp^Me2)Mo(Nmes)(O)Cl (1), CpMo(Nmes)(O)Cl (2) and Mo(Nmes)(O)Cl₂(bipy) (3). Other oxo---imido compounds of composition Mo(Nmes)(O)(S₂CNR₂)₂ (R₂=C₄H₄ 4, C₅H₁₀ 5, ⁱPr₂ 6) can be obtained by reacting Mo(Nmes)(O)Cl₂(dme) with the appropriate dithiocarbamate salt. The NMR properties of 4–6 are consistent with the presence of two rapidly equilibrating dithiocarbamate ligands. The reaction of Mo(Nmes)(O)Cl₂(dme) with different Grignard reagents, Mg(R)X, produces the trialkyl imido complexes Mo(Nmes)R₃Cl (R=Me 7, CH₂C(Me)₂Ph 8, CH₂SiMe₃ 9).     

Protonation and hydrogenation of triosmium clusters containing the bridging diphosphine ligands Ph2P(CH2nPPh2 (n = 1 to 4)

Members of the series of bridging diphosphine clusters [Os₃(CO)₁₀(diphos)] where diphos = Ph₂P(CH_2nPPh₂ [dppm (n = 1), dppe (n = 2), dppp (n = 3), or dppb (n = 4)] show interesting differences in their reactivity towards H⁺ and H₂. Protonation leads to [Os₃(μ-H)(CO)₁₀(diphos)]⁺ with the hydrides bridging the same osmium atoms as the diphos ligand when diphos is dppe, dppp, or dppb, whereas the hydride and dppm bridge different edges in [Os₃9μ-H)(CO)₁₀(dppm)]⁺. Hydrogenation of the 1,2-diphos compounds leads to [Os₃(μ-H)₂(CO)₈(diphos)] (diphos = dppm, dppe, dppp) in good to excellent yield but the dppb analogue could not be made. Geometric and electronic factors affecting the ability to incorporate hydride ligands in these clusters are discussed.     

Synthesis and structure of ansa-cyclopentadienyl pyrrolyl titanium complexes: [(η-C5H4)CH2(2-C4H3N)]Ti(NMe2)2 and [1,3-{CH2(2-C4H3N)}2(η-C5H3)]Ti(NMe2)

Reaction of ansa-cyclopentadienyl pyrrolyl ligand (C₅H₅)CH₂(2-C₄H₃NH) (2) with Ti(NMe₂)₄ affords bis(dimethylamido)titanium complex [(η⁵-C₅H₄)CH₂(2-C₄H₃N)]Ti(NMe₂)₂ (3) via amine elimination. A cyclopentadiene ligand with two pendant pyrrolyl arms, a mixture of 1,3- and 1,4-{CH₂(2-C₄H₃NH)}₂C₅H₄ (4), undergoes an analogous reaction with Ti(NMe₂)₄ to give [1,3-{CH₂(2-C₄H₃N)}₂(η⁵-C₅H₃)]Ti(NMe₂) (5). Molecular structures of 3 and 5 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
