The formation of the nitrido bridge leads to a significant decrease of the structural trans influence of the nitrido ligand which is evident by the shortening of the Re‐(trans)Br bond from 2.795(1) Å in [ReNBr₂(Me₂PhP)₃] to 2.620(1) Å in [fac‐Re(NBBr₃)Br₃(Me₂PhP)₂]^– and 2.598(1) Å in [Re(NBBr₃)Br₂(Me₂PhP)₃], respectively.

(N,N-dialkylthiocarbamoyl)benzamidine) with HCl or HBr in acetone initializes a condensation of the solvent and results in nitrene-like compounds as a consequence of a nucleophilic attack of the coordinated nitrido ligand on the condensed acetone. The chelate ligands are removed during this reaction and complexes of the type fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}X₃(Me₂PhP)₂] (X = Cl, Br) are formed. fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}Cl₃(Me₂PhP)₂] crystallizes triclinic in the space group P1, a = 8.575(4); b = 9.088(3); c = 18.389(9) Å; α = 75.67(3)°, β = 85.30(3)°, γ = 70.58(4)°; Z = 2.

trans‐[Re(NH3)I2(Me2PhP)3]I3 – Bildung eines Amminaus einem Nitridoliganden

trans ‐[Re(NH₃)I₂(Me₂PhP)₃]I₃ – Formation of an Ammine Ligand from a Nitrido Ligand The reaction of [ReNCl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] (Me₂PhP = dimethylphenylphosphine) with Me₃SiI in dichloromethane results in the formation of trans‐[Re(NH₃)I₂(Me₂PhP)₃]I₃. The unusual protonation of a nitrido ligand is due to the partial decomposition of the solvent.     

Reactions of [ReN(Cl)(Me2PhP)2(HEt2tcb)] with Lewis Acids. Synthesis,Characterization and Structures of [Re(NBBr3)Br2(Me2PhP)3], [Re(NGaCl3)Cl(Me2PhP)2(H2Et2tcb)][GaCl4] and [Re{NB(C6F5)3}Cl(Me2PhP)2(HEt2tcb)] (H2Et2tcb=N,N-diethylthiocarbamoylbenzamidine)

Reactions of [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(HEt₂tcb)] (HEt₂tcb⁻=N,N-diethylthiocarbamoylbenzamidinate, Me₂PhP=dimethylphenylphosphine) with Lewis acidic compounds such as BBr₃, (C₆F₅)₃B or gallium(III) chloride yield nitrogen-bridged binuclear complexes with covalent bonds between the nitrido ligand and boron or gallium. The reactions go along with activation of the transition metal centre which can lead to ligand re-arrangements and reactions with solvent molecules.The reaction with BBr₃ results in cleavage of the bonds to the chelating ligand. [Re(NBBr₃)Br₂(Me₂PhP)₃] was isolated as the only product with a nitrido bridge. The bis-chelate [ReN(HEt₂tcb)₂] was formed as a side-product.Upon formation of a nitrido bridge to GaCl₃ the first co-ordination sphere of rhenium is retained. The co-ordinated thiocarbamoylbenzamidinate, however, undergoes protonation and is bonded as a neutral, bidentate ligand in the product [Re(NGaCl₃)Cl(Me₂PhP)₂(H₂Et₂tcb)][GaCl₄].In [Re{NB(C₆F₅)₃}Cl(Me₂PhP)₂(HEt₂tcb)], which can be obtained in good yield from the reaction of [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(HEt₂tcb)] with (C₆F₅)₃B, the co-ordination environment of the metal remains essentially unchanged.X-ray structural studies on the products suggest that the strong structural trans influence of the terminal nitrido ligand in the starting complex decreases significantly as a consequence of the formation of the N–B/Ga bonds. The rhenium–nitrogen multiple bond distances, however, remain almost unchanged.

The bond lengths of the Re–N triple bonds are 172 pm in 1 and 170 pm in 1 · 2 SbCl₃. By the reaction of ReNCl₂(PMePh)₃ with SbCl₅ in CH₂Cl₂ the solvent is decomposed forming HCl which protonates the nitrido ligand to afford the imido complex [Re(NH)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃][SbCl₆] ( 2 ) crystallizing in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1221.4(2), b = 1358.6(2), c = 2177.3(1) pm, β = 92,72(1)° and Z = 4.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Complexes [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] and [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)] The heteronuclear complex [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] ( 1 ) is obtained by the reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [RuCl₂(C₆H₆)]₂ in C₆H₅CN in form of red crystals with the composition 1 ·C₆H₅CN crystallizing in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a =1149.77(8), b = 3085.9(3), c = 1172.1(1) pm, β = 104.766(9)° and Z = 4. In the dinuclear complex the complex fragment [RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] is connected by an asymmetric nitrido bridge with the nitrido complex [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃]. The nitrido bridge is characterised by a bond angle Re‐N‐Ru of 170.6(3)° and distances Re‐N = 170.2(5) and Ru‐N = 199.0(5) pm. The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [RhCl(COD)]₂ in benzonitrile yields orange crystals of [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)] ( 2 ) with the space group P2₁/c and a = 1522.3(2), b = 1274.85(4), c = 1921.2(2) pm, β = 106.759(7)° and Z = 4. The monovalent Rh atom exhibits a square planar coordination with the two π‐bonds of the cycloocta‐1, 5‐diene occupying cis positions. The distances in the almost linear nitrido bridge (Re‐N‐Rh = 174.8(4)°>) are Re‐N = 172.2(6) pm and Rh‐N = 195.6(6) pm.     

Nitridorhenium(V) Complexes with 1,3‐Dialkyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐2‐ylidenes

The nitridorhenium(V) complexes [ReNCl₂(PR₂Ph)₃] (R = Me, Et) react with the N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) 1,3‐diethyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐5‐ylidene (L^Et) or 1,3,4,5‐tetramethylimidazole‐2‐ylidene (L^Me) in absolutely dry THF under complete replacement of the equatorial coordination sphere. The resulting [ReNCl(L^R)₄]⁺ complexes (L^R = L^Me, L^Et) are moderately stable as solids and in solution, but decompose in hot methanol under formation of [ReO₂(L^R)₄]⁺ complexes. With 1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐5‐ylidene (L^i‐Pr), the loss of the nitrido ligand and the formation of a dioxo species is more rapid and no nitridorhenium intermediate could be isolated. The Re‐C bond lengths in [ReNCl(L^Et)₄]Cl of approximately 2.195Å are relatively long and indicate mainly σ‐bonding in the electron‐deficient d² system under study. The hydrolysis of the nitrido complexes proceeds via the formation of [ReO₃N]^2? anions as could be verified by the isolation and structural characterization of the intermediates [{ReN(PMe₂Ph)₃}{ReO₃N}]₂ and [{ReN(OH₂)(L^Et)₂}₂O][ReO₃N].     

Synthese und Struktur von [Re(NH)Cl2(PMe2Ph)3][TaCl6] und [(Me2PhP)3Cl2Re≡N]2VOCl2

Synthesis and Structure of [Re(NH)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃][TaCl₆] and [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N]₂VOCl₂ The products of the reaction of ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ with TaCl₅ are dependent on the solvent. In CH₂Cl₂ the solvent protonates the nitrido ligand to yield [Re(NH)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃][TaCl₆] as air-stable, reddish brown needles with the space group P2₁/n and a = 1213.8(3), b = 1358.0(2), c = 2165.9(4) pm, β = 92.88(1)°, Z = 4. The Re atom of the cation exhibits an octahedral coordination with the phosphine ligands in meridional arrangement. The imido ligand is in trans-position to a Cl atom with a distance Re–N = 170.4(4) pm. When the reaction is carried out in toluene the dinuclear nitrido complex [Re(NTaCl₅)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] is obtained instead. The reaction of ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ with VCl₃(THF)₃ in toluene affords the threenuclear complex [Re₂N₂Cl₄(PMe₂Ph)₅]VCl₃, which upon crystallization at air gives air-stable, reddish-brown crystals of [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂ReN]₂VOCl₂. They crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with a = 1519.2(5), b = 1257.1(1), c = 1564.3(6) pm, β = 102.86(2)°, and Z = 2. The threenuclear complex shows an almost linear arrangement Re≡N–V–N≡Re with distances Re–N 171(2) pm and V–N of 209(2) pm.     

[Tc(NBCl2Ph)Cl2(Me2PhP)3] und [Tc(NBH3)Cl2(Me2PhP)3] – die ersten Technetium‐Komplexe mit Nitridobrücken zwischen Technetium und Bor

[Tc(NBCl₂Ph)Cl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] and [Tc(NBH₃)Cl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] – the First Technetium Complexes with Nitrido Bridges between Technetium and Boron [TcNCl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] reacts with BCl₂Ph or BH₃ · THF at low temperatures under formation of complexes containing a nitrido bridge between technetium and boron. The compounds are instable and decompose at room temperature under cleavage of the N–B bonds. The pale‐purple [Tc(NBCl₂Ph)Cl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Fdd2. The Tc≡N bond is only slightly lengthened by the formation of the N–B bond of 1.564(4) Å. However, a considerable lengthening of the Tc–Cl bond in trans position to the nitrido ligand is observed which can be attributed to an decreasing of the structural trans influence of the nitrido moiety. A similar structural feature can be found in [Tc(NBH₃)Cl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] which is the first structurally characterized transition metal complex containing a nitrido bridge to unsubstituted borane.
