The new ligand, hydrotris[3-(diphenylmethyl)pyrazol-1-yl]borate, Tp(CHPh2), has been synthesized and its coordination chemistry was compared with that of the analogous Tp(iPr). The new ligand was converted to a variety of complexes, such as M[Tp(CHPh2)]X (M = Co, Ni, Zn; X = Cl, NCO, NCS), Pd[Tp(CHPh2)][eta3-methallyl], Co[Tp(CHPh2)](acac), and Co[Tp(CHPh2)](scorpionate ligand). Compounds Tl[Tp(CHPh2)], 1, Co[Tp(CHPh2)]Cl, 2, Co[Tp(CHPh2)](NCS)(DMF), 3, Ni[Tp(CHPh2)](NCS)(DMF)2, 4, Co[Tp(CHPh2)](acac), 5, Co[Tp(CHPh2)][Ph2Bp], 6, Co[Tp(CHPh2)][Bp(Ph)], 7, Co[Tp(CHPh2)][Tp], 8, and (Ni[Tp(CHPh2)])2[C2O4](H2O)2, 9, were structurally characterized.     

Preparation of mononuclear and dinuclear Rh hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borato complexes containing arenethiolato ligands and conversion of the mononuclear complexes into dinuclear Rh-Rh and Rh-Ir complexes with bridging arenethiolato ligands

Reactions of [Tp*Rh(coe)(MeCN)](; Tp*= HB(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)(3); coe = cyclooctene) with one equiv. of the organic disulfides, PhSSPh, TolSSTol (Tol = 4-MeC(6)H(4)), PySSPy (Py = 2-pyridyl), and tetraethylthiuram disulfide in THF at room temperature afforded the mononuclear Rh(III) complexes [Tp*Rh(SPh)(2)(MeCN)](3a), [Tp*Rh(STol)(2)(MeCN)](3b), [Tp*Rh(eta(2)-SPy)(eta(1)-SPy)](6), and [Tp*Rh(eta(2)-S(2)CNEt(2))(eta(1)-S(2)CNEt(2))](7), respectively, via the oxidative addition of the organic disulfides to the Rh(I) center in 1. For the Tp analogue [TpRh(coe)(MeCN)](2, Tp = HB(pyrazol-1-yl)(3)), the reaction with TolSSTol proceeded similarly to give the bis(thiolato) complex [TpRh(STol)(2)(MeCN)](4) as a major product but the dinuclear complex [[TpRh(STol)](2)(micro-STol)(2)](5) was also obtained in low yield. Complex 3 was treated further with the Rh(III) or Ir(III) complexes [(Cp*MCl)(2)(micro-Cl)(2)](Cp*=eta(5)-C(5)Me(5)) in THF at room temperature, yielding the thiolato-bridged dinuclear complexes [Tp*RhCl(micro-SPh)(2)MCp*Cl](8a: M = Rh, 8b: M = Ir). Dirhodium complex [TpRhCl(micro-STol)(2)RhCp*Cl](9) was obtained similarly from 4 and [(Cp*RhCl)(2)(micro-Cl)(2)]. Anion metathesis of 8a proceeds only at the Rh atom with the Cp* ligand to yield [Tp*RhCl(micro-SPh)(2)RhCp*(MeCN)][PF(6)](10), when treated with excess KPF(6) in CH(2)Cl(2)-MeCN. The X-ray analyses have been undertaken to determine the detailed structures of 3b, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8a, 9, and 10.     

Preparation of chalcogenolato-bridged dinuclear Tp*Rh-Cp*Ru complexes (Tp*= hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, Cp*=eta(5)-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) and binding of dioxygen to their Ru sites

Reactions of [Tp*Rh(coe)(MeCN)](1; Tp*= hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl); coe = cyclooctene) with one equiv of diphenyl dichalcogenides PhEEPh (E = Se, Te) afforded the mononuclear Rh(III) complexes [Tp*Rh(EPh)(2)(MeCN)](2b: E = Se; 2c: E = Te), as reported previously for the formation of [Tp*Rh(SPh)(2)(MeCN)](2a) from the reaction of 1 and PhSSPh. Complexes 2a-2c were treated with the Ru(II) complex [(Cp*Ru)(4)(mu(3)-Cl)(4)](Cp*=eta(5)-C(5)Me(5)) in THF at room temperature, yielding the chalcogenolato-bridged dinuclear complexes [Tp*RhCl(mu-EPh)(2)RuCp*(MeCN)](3). Complex 3a (E = S) in solution was converted slowly into a mixture of 3a and the sterically less encumbered dinuclear complex [Tp*RhCl(SPh)(mu-eta(1)-S-eta(6)-Ph)RuCp*](4a) at room temperature. In 4a, one SPh group binds only to the Rh center as a terminal ligand, while the other SPh group bridges the Rh and Ru atoms by coordinating to the former at the S atom and to the latter with the Ph group in a pi fashion. The Se analogue 3b also underwent a similar transformation under more forcing conditions, e.g. in benzene at reflux, whereas formation of the mu-eta(1)-Te-eta(6)-Ph complex was not observed for the Te analogue 3c even under these forcing conditions. When complexes 3 was dissolved in THF exposed to air, the MeCN ligand bound to Ru was substituted by dioxygen to give the peroxo complexes [Tp*RhCl(mu-EPh)(2)RuCp*(eta(2)-O(2))](5a: E = S; 5b: E = Se; 5c: E = Te). X-Ray analyses have been undertaken to determine the detailed structures for 2c, 3a, 3b, 4a, 5a, 5b, and 5c.     

The effect of a 3-benzyl group on the coordination chemistry of homoscorpionate ligands

New homoscorpionate ligands containing a 3-benzyl substituent, hydrotris(3-benzyl-5-methylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, Tp(Bn,Me), and hydrotris(3-benzyl-4-phenylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, Tp(Bn,4Ph), have been synthesized, and the dynamic behavior of a number of metal complexes was studied by NMR. Structures of the complexes Tl[Tp(Bn,Me)], 1, Tl[Tp(Bn,4Ph)], 2, Co[Tp(Bn,Me)][Tp(Np)], 3, Mo[Tp(Bn,Me)](CO)(2)NO, 4, Co[Tp(Bn,4Ph)][Tp], 5, and Mo[Tp(Bn,Me)](CO)(2)(eta(3)-methallyl), 6, were determined by X-ray crystallography. In the Tp(Bn,Me) ligand, the benzyl group is freely rotating and provides less steric hindrance to the coordinated metal than a neopentyl group, but steric hindrance is increased in the Tp(Bn,4Ph) ligand, where the rotation of the benzyl substituent is restricted by the 4-phenyl substituent.     

Coordination chemistry of novel scorpionate ligands based on 3-cyclohexylpyrazole and 3-cyclohexyl-4-bromopyrazole

The ligands [hydrotris(3-cyclohexylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, [Tp(Cy)](-), tetrakis(3-cyclohexylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, [pz(o)Tp(Cy)](-), and hydrotris(3-cyclohexyl-4-bromopyrazol-1-yl)borate, [Tp(Cy,4Br)](-) were synthesized and characterized as their Tl(I) derivatives. They were converted to a variety of tetrahedral LMX and octahedral LML' complexes, as well as to the dinuclear nickel carbonate complex [Ni(Tp(Cy))](2)(CO(3)), 4, and the compound Ni[Tp(Cy,4Br)][pz(Cy,4Br)](3)(H)(2), 5. The structures of Co[Tp(Cy)]Cl, 1, Co[Tp(Cy,4Br)]Cl, 2, Co[Tp(Cy,4Br)]NCS, 3, [Ni(Tp(Cy))](2)(CO(3)), 4, Ni[Tp(Cy,4Br)][pz(Cy,4Br)](3)(H)(2), 5, and Mo[Tp(Cy)](CO)(2)(eta(3)-methallyl), 6, were determined by X-ray crystallography. The structures of paramagnetic heteroleptic complexes Co[Tp(Cy)][Tp], Co[Tp(Cy)][Tp], Co[Tp(Cy,4Br)][Tp], and Co[Tp(Cy,4Br)][Tp] were established by NMR. The homoleptic compounds Co[Tp(Cy)](2) and Co[Tp(Cy,4Br)](2) rearrange thermally to Co[Tp(Cy)](2) and to Co[Tp((Cy,4Br))](2), respectively, containing one 5-cyclohexyl group/ligand.     

Synthesis and characterization of half-sandwich N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of cobalt and rhodium

A series of novel half-sandwich M(I) and M(III) complexes (M = Co, Rh) bearing the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand 1,3-dimesitylimidazol-2-ylidene (IMes) have been prepared and characterized. Thus, (eta5-C(5)R(5))M(IMes)(C(2)H(4))(M = Co, Rh; R = H, Me) were obtained from the corresponding bis(ethene) complexes (eta5-C(5)R(5))M(C(2)H(4))(2), except for CpRh(IMes)(C(2)H(4)) which was prepared via the novel 16-electron Rh(I) compound Rh(IMes)(C(2)H(4))(2)Cl. The carbonyl compounds (eta5-C(5)R(5))Co(IMes)(CO)(R = H, Me) were synthesized by thermal CO substitution of (eta5-C(5)R(5))Co(CO)(2). A diamagnetic, apparently 16-electron Co(III) compound [CpCo(IMes)I](+)[I(3)(-)] was obtained from CpCo(IMes)(CO) and I(2). Finally, Co(III) and Rh(III) complexes CpCo(IMes)Me(2) and Cp*Rh(IMes)Me(2) were prepared by methylation of [CpCo(IMes)I](+)[I(3)(-)], and ligand exchange at Cp*Rh(Me(2)SO)Me(2), respectively. The molecular structures of CpCo(IMes)(CO), CpRh(IMes)(C(2)H(4)), Cp*Rh(IMes)(C(2)H(4)), and Cp*Rh(IMes)Me(2) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Steric and electronic factors imposed by the strongly donating and sterically demanding IMes ligand are discussed on the basis of X-ray crystallographic, NMR, and IR spectroscopic analyses. Very poor correlations are found between values for (1)J(Rh-C(carbene)) and dRh-C(carbene) data for Rh(i) N,N-heterocyclic carbene complexes including literature data and this work.     

Redox-active nickel and cobalt tris(pyrazolyl)borate dithiocarbamate complexes: air-stable Co(II) dithiocarbamates

A series of new cobalt(II) and nickel(II) tris(3,5-diphenylpyrazolyl)borate (Tp(Ph2)) dithiocarbamate complexes [Tp(Ph2)M(dtc)] (M = Co, dtc = S?CNEt? 1, S?CNBz? 2 and S?CN(CH?)? 3; M = Ni, dtc = S?CNEt? 4, S?CNBz? 5 and S?CN(CH?)? 6) have been prepared by the reaction of [Tp(Ph2)MBr] with Nadtc in CH?Cl?. IR spectroscopy indicates that the Tp(Ph2) ligand is κ3 coordinated while the dithiocarbamate ligand is κ2 coordinated. 1H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy are consistent with high spin, five-coordinate metal centres. X-ray crystallographic studies of 1, 3 and 6 confirm the κ3 coordination of the Tp(Ph2) ligand and reveal an intermediate five-coordinate geometry with an asymmetrically coordinated dithiocarbamate ligand. Electrochemical studies of 1-6 reveal a metal centred reversible one-electron oxidation to M(III). Attempted oxidation of [Tp(Ph2)Co(dtc)] with [FeCpCp(COMe)]BF? yields [Co(dtc)?], Hpz(Ph2) and a further product which may be [Tp(Ph2)CoBp(Ph2)]. DFT calculations indicate that the low redox potentials in these complexes result from a strongly antibonding M-S σ* HOMO.     

Transition metal-stabilized arenium cations: protonation of arenes dihapto-coordinated to pi-basic metal fragments

A series of metal complexes was synthesized in which arenes were dihapto-coordinated to pi-basic metal fragments having the general form [TpM(pi-acid)(L)], where Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate, M = rhenium, molybdenum, or tungsten, pi-acid = CO or NO(+), and L = 1-methylimidazole, 1-butylimidazole, pyridine, or trimethylphosphine. The arene complexes were shown to be significantly more basic than the analogous pentaammineosmium(II) arene complexes and were protonated by moderate acids to give remarkably stable eta(2) and eta(3) arenium cation complexes. A crystal structure of [TpRe(CO)(MeIm)(5,6-eta(2)-2H-anisolium)](OTf) confirmed the eta(2) coordination of the anisolium ligand, but suggests a weak long-range interaction between the metal and C1 of the anisolium.     

Protonation and reactivity towards carbon dioxide of the mononuclear tetrahedral zinc and cobalt hydroxide complexes, [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]ZnOH and [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]CoOH: comparison of the reactivity of the metal hydroxide function in synthetic analogues of carbonic anhydrase

The tris(3-tert-butyl-5-methylpyrazolyl)hydroborato zinc hydroxide complex [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]ZnOH is protonated by (C(6)F(5))(3)B(OH(2)) to yield the aqua derivative [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Zn(OH(2))][HOB(C(6)F(5))(3)], which has been structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction, thereby demonstrating that protonation results in a lengthening of the Zn-O bond by ca. 0.1 A. The protonation is reversible, and treatment of [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Zn(OH(2))](+) with Et(3)N regenerates [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]ZnOH. Consistent with the notion that the catalytic hydration of CO(2) by carbonic anhydrase requires deprotonation of the coordinated water molecule, [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Zn(OH(2))](+) is inert towards CO(2), whereas [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]ZnOH is in rapid equilibrium with the bicarbonate complex [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]ZnOC(O)OH under comparable conditions. The cobalt hydroxide complex [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]CoOH is likewise protonated by (C(6)F(5))(3)B(OH(2)) to yield the aqua derivative [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Co(OH(2))][HOB(C(6)F(5))(3)], which is isostructural with the zinc complex. The aqua complexes [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]M(OH(2))][HOB(C(6)F(5))(3)] (M = Zn, Co) exhibit a hydrogen bonding interaction between the metal aqua and boron hydroxide moieties. This hydrogen bonding interaction may be viewed as analogous to that between the aqua ligand and Thr-199 at the active site of carbonic anhydrase. In addition to the structural similarities between the zinc and cobalt complexes, [Tp(Bu)t(,Me)ZnOH] and [Tp(Bu)()t(,Me)]CoOH, and between [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Zn(OH(2))](+) and [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Co(OH(2))](+), DFT (B3LYP) calculations demonstrate that the pK(a) value of [[Tp]Zn(OH(2))](+) is similar to that of [[Tp]Co(OH(2))](+). These similarities are in accord with the observation that Co(II) is a successful substitute for Zn(II) in carbonic anhydrase. The cobalt hydroxide [Tp(Bu)()t(,Me)]CoOH reacts with CO(2) to give the bridging carbonate complex [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Co](2)(mu-eta(1),eta(2)-CO(3)). The coordination mode of the carbonate ligand in this complex, which is bidentate to one cobalt center and unidentate to the other, is in contrast to that in the zinc counterpart [[Tp(Bu)t(,Me)]Zn](2)(mu-eta(1),eta(1)-CO(3)), which bridges in a unidentate manner to both zinc centers. This difference in coordination modes concurs with the suggestion that a possible reason for the lower activity of Co(II)-carbonic anhydrase is associated with enhanced bidentate coordination of bicarbonate inhibiting its displacement.     

Hexanuclear Fe(III)2Co(III)2M(II)2 (M = Cu, Ni, Mn) clusters based on Kläui's tripodal ligand and tricyanometalates: syntheses, structures and magnetic properties

With the use of Kl?ui's tripodal ligand, [(Cp)Co(P(O)(OEt)(2))(3)](-) (L(CoEt), Cp = cyclopentadiene) as the auxiliary ligand to react with different metal salts and tricyanometalate building blocks, five neutral trimetallic hexanuclear complexes: [(Tp)(2)Fe(2)(CN)(6)Cu(2)(L(CoEt))(2)]·6H(2)O (1, Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate), [(Tp*)(2)Fe(2)(CN)(6)Cu(2)(L(CoEt))(2)]·2H(2)O (2, Tp* = hydridotris(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolyl)borate), [(pzTp)(2)Fe(2)(CN)(6)Cu(2)(L(CoEt))(2)]·H(2)O·3MeOH (3, pzTp = tetra(pyrazolyl)borate), [(Tp)(2)Fe(2)(CN)(6)Ni(2)(L(CoEt))(2)(MeCN)(2)]·2MeCN·2H(2)O (4) and [(Tp)(2)Fe(2)(CN)(6)Mn(2)(L(CoEt))(2)(MeCN)(2)]·2MeCN (5), have been obtained and structurally characterized. Magnetic measurements confirm that there are ferromagnetic couplings between the cyano-bridged Fe and Cu/or Ni ions and antiferromagnetic interaction between the cyano-bridged Fe and Mn ions. Slow relaxation of the magnetization is observed in complexes 1 and 4, while complex 3 exhibits metamagnetic behavior with a critical field of 17.5 kOe.
