NMR studies of Ru(3)(CO)(10)(PMe(2)Ph)(2) and Ru(3)(CO)(10)(PPh(3))(2) and their H(2) addition products: detection of new isomers with complex dynamic behavior

The clusters Ru(3)(CO)(10)L(2), where L = PMe(2)Ph or PPh(3), are shown by NMR spectroscopy to exist in solution in at least three isomeric forms, one with both phosphines in the equatorial plane on the same ruthenium center and the others with phosphines in the equatorial plane on different ruthenium centers. Isomer interconversion for Ru(3)(CO)(10)(PMe(2)Ph)(2) is highly solvent dependent, with DeltaH decreasing and DeltaS becoming more negative as the polarity of the solvent increases. The stabilities of the isomers and their rates of interconversion depend on the phosphine ligand. A mechanism that accounts for isomer interchange involving Ru-Ru bond heterolysis is suggested. The products of the reaction of Ru(3)(CO)(10)L(2) with hydrogen have been monitored by NMR spectroscopy via normal and para hydrogen-enhanced methods. Two hydrogen addition products are observed with each containing one bridging and one terminal hydride ligand. EXSY spectroscopy reveals that both intra- and interisomer hydride exchange occurs on the NMR time scale. On the basis of the evidence available, mechanisms for hydride interchange involving Ru-Ru bond heterolysis and CO loss are proposed.     

Germanium-rich pentaruthenium carbonyl clusters including Ru(5)(CO)(11)(mu-GePh(2))(4)(mu(5)-C) and its reactions with hydrogen

The reaction of Ru(5)(CO)(15)(mu(5)-C), 1, with Ph(3)GeH at 150 degrees C has yielded two new germanium-rich pentaruthenium cluster complexes: Ru(5)(CO)(11)(mu-CO)(mu-GePh(2))(3)(mu(5)-C), 2; Ru(5)(CO)(11)(mu;-GePh(2))(4)(mu(5)-C), 3. Both compounds contain square pyramidal Ru(5) clusters with GePh(2) groups bridging three and four of the edges of the Ru(5) square base, respectively. When treated with 1 equiv of Ph(3)GeH at 150 degrees C compound 2 is converted to 3. Reaction of 3 with H(2) at 150 degrees C yielded Ru(5)(CO)(10)(mu-GePh(2))(4)(mu(5)-C)(mu-H)(2), 4, containing two hydride ligands and one less CO ligand. Reaction of 4 with hydrogen at 150 degrees C yielded the compound Ru(5)(CO)(10)(mu-GePh(2))(2)(mu(3)-GePh)(2)(mu(3)-H)(mu(4)-CH), 5, by loss of benzene and conversion of two of the bridging GePh(2) groups into triply bridging GePh groups. Compound 5 contains one triply bridging hydride ligand and a quadruply bridging methylidyne ligand formed by addition of one hydrogen atom to the carbido carbon atom.     

Mechanism of protonation of [Pt(3)(mu-PBu(t)(2))3(H)(CO)2], yielding the hydride-bridged [Pt(3)(mu-PBu(t)(2))2(mu-H)(PBu(t)(2)H)(CO)2]OTf (Tf=CF(3)SO(2)), and the spectroscopic and theoretical characterization of a kinetic intermediate

The reaction of the Pt(I)Pt(I)Pt(II) triangulo cluster Pt(3)(micro-PBu(t)()(2))(3)(H)(CO)(2) (1) with TfOH (Tf = CF(3)SO(2)) affords the hydride-bridged cationic derivative [Pt(3)(mu-PBu(t)()(2))(2)(mu-H)(PBu(t)()(2)H)(CO)(2)]OTf (2). With TfOD the reaction gives selectively [Pt(3)(mu-PBu(t)(2))(2)(mu-D)(PBu(t)(2)H)(CO)(2)]OTf (2-D(1)), implying that the proton is transferred to a metal center while a P-H bond is formed by the reductive coupling of one of the bridging phosphides and the terminal hydride ligand of the reagent. The reaction proceeds through the formation of a thermally unstable kinetic intermediate which was characterized at low temperatures, and was suggested to be the CO-hydrogen-bonded (or protonated) [Pt(3)(mu-PBu(t)(2))(3)(H)(CO)(2)].HOTf (3). An ab initio theoretical study predicts a hydrogen-bonded complex or a proton-transfer tight ion pair as a possible candidate for the structure of the kinetic intermediate.     

Crystal structure and DFT calculations of Cp2NbH(SiIMe2)(SiFMe2): an asymmetric bis(silyl) niobocene hydride complex

An asymmetric bis(silyl) niobocene hydride complex, namely, bis(η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)(fluorodimethylsilyl)hydrido(iododimethylsilyl)niobium, [Nb(C₅H₅)₂(C₂H₆FSi)(C₂H₆ISi)H] or Cp₂NbH(SiIMe₂)(SiFMe₂), has been studied to determine the effect of the silyl ligand on the position of the hydride attached to the Nb atom. It has been shown that when a Group 17 atom is substituted onto one of the silyl ligands, there is a greater interaction between the hydride and this ligand, as demonstrated by a shorter Si…H distance. In the present work, we have investigated the effect when the silyl ligands are substituted by different Group 17 atoms. We present here the structure and DFT calculations of Cp₂NbH(SiIMe₂)(SiFMe₂), showing that the position of the hydride is located between the two silyl ligands. The results from our investigation show that the hydride is closer to the silyl ligand that is substituted by fluorine.     

Substitution reactions of [Ru(dppe)(CO)(H(2)O)(3)][OTf](2)

The labile nature of the coordinated water ligands in the organometallic aqua complex [Ru(dppe)(CO)(H(2)O)(3)][OTf](2) (1) (dppe = Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2); OTf = OSO(2)CF(3)) has been investigated through substitution reactions with a range of incoming ligands. Dissolution of 1 in acetonitrile or dimethyl sulfoxide results in the facile displacement of all three waters to give [Ru(dppe)(CO)(CH(3)CN)(3)][OTf](2) (2) and [Ru(dppe)(CO)(DMSO)(3)][OTf](2) (3), respectively. Similarly, 1 reacts with Me(3)CNC to afford [Ru(dppe)(CO)(CNCMe(3))(3)][OTf](2) (4). Addition of 1 equiv of 2,2'-bipyridyl (bpy) or 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridyl (Me(2)bpy) to acetone/water solutions of 1 initially yields [Ru(dppe)(CO)(H(2)O)(bpy)][OTf](2) (5a) and [Ru(dppe)(CO)(H(2)O)(Me(2)bpy)][OTf](2) (6a), in which the coordinated water lies trans to CO. Compounds 5a and 6a rapidly rearrange to isomeric species (5b, 6b) in which the ligated water is trans to dppe. Further reactivity has been demonstrated for 6b, which, upon dissolution in CDCl(3), loses water and coordinates a triflate anion to afford [Ru(dppe)(CO)(OTf)(Me(2)bpy)][OTf] (7). Reaction of 1 with CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)SH gives the dinuclear bridging thiolate complex [[(dppe)Ru(CO)](2)(mu-SCH(2)CH(2)CH(3))(3)][OTf] (8). The reaction of 1 with CO in acetone/water is slow and yields the cationic hydride complex [Ru(dppe)(CO)(3)H][OTf] (9) via a water gas shift reaction. Moreover, the same mechanism can also be used to account for the previously reported synthesis of 1 upon reaction of Ru(dppe)(CO)(2)(OTf)(2) with water (Organometallics 1999, 18, 4068).     

Trans --> cis isomerization of trans-[(dppm)2Ru(H)(L)][BF4] (L = P(OR)3) complexes: preparation of cis-[(dppm)2Ru(eta2-H2)(L)][BF4]2

A series of new dicationic dihydrogen complexes of ruthenium of the type cis-[(dppm)(2)Ru(eta(2)-H(2))(L)][BF(4)](2) (dppm = Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2); L = P(OMe)(3), P(OEt)(3), PF(O(i)Pr)(2)) have been prepared by protonating the precursor hydride complexes cis-[(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(L)][BF(4)] (L = P(OMe)(3), P(OEt)(3), P(O(i)Pr)(3)) using HBF(4).Et(2)O. The cis-[(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(L)][BF(4)] complexes were obtained from the trans hydrides via an isomerization reaction that is acid-accelerated. This isomerization reaction gives mixtures of cis and trans hydride complexes, the ratios of which depend on the cone angles of the phosphite ligands: the greater the cone angle, the greater is the amount of the cis isomer. The eta(2)-H(2) ligand in the dihydrogen complexes is labile, and the loss of H(2) was found to be reversible. The protonation reactions of the starting hydrides with trans PMe(3) or PMe(2)Ph yield mixtures of the cis and the trans hydride complexes; further addition of the acid, however, give trans-[(dppm)(2)Ru(BF(4))Cl]. The roles of the bite angles of the dppm ligand as well as the steric and the electronic properties of the monodentate phosphorus ligands in this series of complexes are discussed. X-ray crystal structures of trans-[(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(P(OMe)(3))][BF(4)], cis-[(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(P(OMe)(3))][BF(4)], and cis-[(dppm)(2)Ru(H)(P(O(i)Pr)(3))][BF(4)] complexes have been determined.     

Hydricities of BzNADH, CH5Mo(PMe3)(CO)2H, and C5Me5Mo(PMe3)(CO)2H in acetonitrile

The thermodynamic hydride donor abilities of 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BzNADH, 59 +/- 2 kcal/mol), C(5)H(5)Mo(PMe(3))(CO)(2)H (55 +/- 3 kcal/mol), and C(5)Me(5)Mo(PMe(3))(CO)(2)H (58 +/- 2 kcal/mol) have been measured in acetonitrile by calorimetric and/or equilibrium methods. The hydride donor abilities of BzNADH and C(5)H(5)Mo(PMe(3))(CO)(2)H differ by 13 and 24 kcal/mol, respectively, from those reported previously for these compounds in acetonitrile. These results require significant revisions of the hydricities reported for related NADH analogues and metal hydrides. These compounds are moderate hydride donors as compared to previously determined compounds.     

Mechanism of (&mgr;-H)(&mgr;-alkenyl)Re(2)(CO)(8) Formation in 350 nm Flash Irradiations of Re(2)(CO)(10)

The mechanism of (&mgr;-H)(&mgr;-alkenyl)Re(2)(CO)(8) formation upon UV irradiations of Re(2)(CO)(10) in presence of olefin (styrene, trans-stilbene, 4-methyl-1-cyclohexane, and ethylene) was investigated by laser flash photolyses. Such photoproducts result from reactions of the olefin with eq-Re(2)(CO)(9). No reactions of Re(CO)(5) leading to hydride alkenyl products were observed. Dependences of the reaction rate on olefin concentration and solvent revealed an additional intermediate formed after the addition of the olefin to eq-Re(2)(CO)(9) and before the appearance of the &mgr;-hydrido-&mgr;-alkenyl products.     

Insertion reactions of trans-Mo(dmpe)2(H)(NO) with imines

The insertion chemistry of the hydride complex trans-Mo(dmpe)(2)(H)(NO) (1) (dmpe = bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane) with imines has been investigated. It was found that disubstituted aromatic imines RCH[double bond]NR' (R, R' = Ar) insert into the Mo-H bond of 1, while a series of various mono- and other disubstituted imines do not react. The insertion products trans-Mo(dmpe)(2)(NO)[NR'(CH(2)R)] (R = R' = Ph (2); R = Cp(2)Fe, R' = Ph (3); R = Ph, R' = Cp(2)Fe (4); R = 1-naphthyl, R' = Ph (5)) have been isolated and fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The imine PhCH[double bond]NC(10)H(7) (C(10)H(7) = 1-naphthyl) reacted with 1 establishing an equilibrium to produce the nonisolable complex trans-Mo(dmpe)(2)(NO)[NC(10)H(7)(CH(2)Ph)] (6). The equilibrium constant for this reaction has been derived from VT-NMR measurements, and the Delta H and Delta S values of this reaction were calculated to be -48.8 +/- 0.4 kJ.mol(-1) and -33 +/- 1 J.K(-1).mol(-1) reflecting a mild exothermic process and its associative nature. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses were carried out on 2-5.     

Copper and Bismuth Complexes Containing Dipyridyl gem-Diolato Ligands: Bi(III)(2)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4)(THF)(2), Cu(II)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(HO(2)CCH(3))(2), and Cu(II)(4)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(O(2)CCH(3))(6)(H(2)O)(2), a Ferromagnetically Coupled Tetranuclear Copper(II) Chain

The reactions of the singly deprotonated di-2-pyridylmethanediol ligand (dpmdH(-)) with copper(II) and bismuth(III) have been investigated. A new dinuclear bismuth(III) complex Bi(2)(dpmdH)(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4)(THF)(2), 1, has been obtained by the reaction of BiPh(3) with di-2-pyridyl ketone in the presence of HO(2)CCF(3) in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The reaction of Cu(OCH(3))(2) with di-2-pyridyl ketone, H(2)O, and acetic acid in a 1:2:2:2 ratio yielded a mononuclear complex Cu[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(HO(2)CCH(3))(2), 2, while the reaction of Cu(OAC)(2)(H(2)O) with di-2-pyridyl ketone and acetic acid in a 2:1:1 ratio yielded a tetranuclear complex Cu(4)[(2-Py)(2)CO(OH)](2)(O(2)CCH(3))(6)(H(2)O)(2), 3. The structures of these complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Three different bonding modes of the dpmdH(-) ligand were observed in compounds 1-3. In 2, the dpmdH(-) ligand functions as a tridentate chelate to the copper center and forms a hydrogen bond between the OH group and the noncoordinating HO(2)CCH(3) molecule. In 1 and 3, the dpmdH(-) ligand functions as a bridging ligand to two metal centers through the oxygen atom. The two pyridyl groups of the dpmdH(-) ligand are bound to one bismuth(III) center in 1, while in 3 they are bound two copper(II) centers, respectively. Compound 3 has an unusual one dimensional hydrogen bonded extended structure. The intramolecular magnetic interaction in 3 has been found to be dominated by ferromagnetism.
