Syntheses, structures, and reactivities of mono- and dinuclear iridium thiolato complexes containing nitrosyl ligands

Reactions of the iridium(III) nitrosyl complex [Ir(NO)Cl2(PPh3)2] (1) with hydrosulfide and arenethiolate anions afforded the square-pyramidal iridium(III) complex [Ir(NO)(SH)2(PPh3)2] (2) with a bent nitrosyl ligand and a series of the square-planar iridium(I) complexes [Ir(NO)(SAr)2(PPh3)] (3a, Ar = C6H2Me3-2,4,6 (Mes); 3b, Ar = C6H3Me2-2,6 (Xy); 3c, Ar = C6H2Pri3-2,4,6) containing a linear nitrosyl ligand, respectively. Complex 1 also reacted with alkanethiolate anions or alkanethiols to give the thiolato-bridged diiridium complexes [Ir(NO)(mu-SPri)(SPri)(PPh3)]2 (4) and [Ir(NO)(mu-SBut)(PPh3)]2 (5). Complex 4 contains two square-pyramidal iridium(III) centers with a bent nitrosyl ligand, whereas 5 contains two tetrahedral iridium(0) centers with a linear nitrosyl ligand and has an Ir-Ir bond. Upon treatment with benzoyl chloride, 3a and 3b were converted into the (diaryl disulfide)- and thiolato-bridged dichlorodiiridium(III) complexes [[IrCl(mu-SC6HnMe4-nCH2)(PPh3)]2(mu-ArSSAr)] (6a, Ar = Mes, n = 2; 6b, Ar = Xy, n = 3) accompanied by a loss of the nitrosyl ligands and cleavage of a C-H bond in an ortho methyl group of the thiolato ligands. Similar treatment of 4 gave the dichlorodiiridium complex [Ir(NO)(PPh3)(mu-SPri)3IrCl2(PPh3)] (7), which has an octahedral dichloroiridium(III) center and a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal Ir(I) atom with a linear nitrosyl ligand. The detailed structures of 3a, 4, 5, 6a, and 7 have been determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Binuclear Silver(I) Complex with 2-nitro-(2-pyridylsulfanylmethyl)benzene

1 INTRODUCTION Metallosupramolecular species with metal-metal interactions have been designed and synthesized due to their potential applications as functional materi- als[1]. For Ag(I) coordination compounds, short Ag(I) –Ag(I) separations have been found in many bi- and polynuclear complexes[2~4], and these short metal- metal distances have been attributed to the ligand ar- chitecture[5, 6]. Thus, the rational design of bi- and polynuclear Ag(I) complexes must recognize the in- here…     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Heterometallic Trinuclear Ni/Ag/S Compound

A new tri-nuclear mixed metal thiolate complex [Ag(PPh3)2]2[Ni(edtO2)2] 1 has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal diffraction.The molecule has a crystallographic inversion centre occupied in the central Ni(II) atom and the two silver(I) atoms are related by the inversion centre.The unique structural feature is that one of thiolates of each edt ligand has been oxidized to sulfinate from the precursor [Ni(edt)2]2-to the neutral linear trinuclear complex.The crystal structure belongs to the monoclinic system,space group P21/n with a = 13.581(11),b = 12.239(9),c = 22.316(17) ,β = 103.08(2)o,V = 3613(5) 3,Z = 2,Mr = 1571.87,Dc = 1.445 g/cm3,μ = 1.046 mm-1,F(000) = 1604,T = 293(2) K,the final R = 0.0652 and wR = 0.1499 for 6776 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).     

Dimer of Bis[trans-5-methyl-2-[2-(4-methoxylphenyl) ethenyl]-benzoxazole]di-μ-nitratosilver(I)

The title complex [AgNO3(C17H15NO2)2]2 was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in triclinic, space group Pī with a = 11.226(7), b = 11.906(7), c = 12.144(7) (A。), α = 99.796(10), β = 91.631(10), γ = 101.225(10)°, V = 1565.6(16)(A。)3, Z = 1, Mr = 1400.96, Dc = 1.486 g/cm3, F(000) = 716 and μ(Mo-Kα) = 0.697 mm-1. The final R and wR are 0.0401 and 0.0995, respectively for 5492 independent observable reflections with I > 2σ(I). The results show that the central Ag atom is four-coordinated with two O atoms from two distinct NO3- anions and two N atoms from two trans-5-methyl-2-[2-(4-methoxylphenyl)ethenyl]- benzoxazole ligands, and the two Ag atoms bridged with two O atoms give an interesting Ag-O-Ag-O parallelogram structure. The coordination sphere of Ag atom exhibits a heavily distorted tetrahedral geometry and the coordination angles lie in the range of 66.73(12)～129.59(10)°. The intra- molecular dihedral angles between the benzoxazolyl and phenyl planes are 4.1(3) and 2.9(3)°, respectively.

Mononuclear (Pd, Pt), heterodinuclear (PdAg, PtAg), and tetranuclear (Pd2Ag2, Pt2Ag2) 1,1-ethylenedithiolato complexes

lp;&-5q;1 The reactions of [Tl2[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]]n with [MCl2L2] (1:1) or with [MCl2(NCPh)2] and PPh3 (1:1:2) give complexes [M[eta2-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]L2] [M = Pt, L2 = 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) (1); L2 = bpy, M = Pd (2a), Pt (2b), L = PPh3, M = Pd (3a), Pt (3b)] whereas with MCl2 and QCl (2:1:2) anionic derivatives Q2[M[eta2-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2] [M = Pd, Q = NMe4 (4a), Ph3P=N=PPh3 (PPN) (4a'), M = Pt, Q = NMe4 (4b)] are produced. Complexes 1 and 3 react with AgClO4 (1:1) to give tetranuclear complexes [[ML2]2Ag2[mu2,eta2-(S,S')-[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2]](ClO4)2 [L = PPh3, M = Pd (5a), Pt (5b), L2 = cod, M = Pt (5b')], while the reactions of 3 with AgClO4 and PPh3 (1:1:2) give dinuclear [[M(PPh3)2][Ag(PPh3)2][mu2,eta2-(S,S')-S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]]]ClO4 [M = Pd (6a), Pt (6b)]. The crystal structures of 3a, 3b, 4a, and two crystal forms of 5b have been determined. The two crystal forms of 5b display two [Pt(PPh3)2][mu2,eta2-(S,S')-[S2C=C[C(O)Me]2]2] moieties bridging two Ag(I) centers.     

Syntheses of Binuclear Copper(I) Complexes Containing Benzimidazole

1 INTRODUCTION Procedures to synthesize copper(I) complexes are of great interest due to the diversity of products resulting from almost the same methodology. It has been long known that four-electron-donordipho- sphine compounds Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2 are excellent bi- dentate ligands[1, 2]. The chelating tendency of bis- (diphenylphosphino) methane is one of the dipho- sphine ligands most suitable to lock two metal atoms together in close proximity[3]. Many examples of bi- or polynuclear com…     

Synthesis,structure and characterization of binuclear copper(I) complexes

Binuclear copper(I) complexes [Cu(dppm)(NO3)]2 (1), dppm=Ph2PCH2PPh2, [Cu(dppm)(2,9-Me2Phen)]2(NO3)2 (2), [Cu(dppm)(I)]2 (3) and [Cu(dppm)(py)]2(NO3)2 (4), (py=pyridine) have been synthesized by ligand reduction of cupric nitrate with dppm in EtOH and characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determination, t.g.a., 31P-n.m.r spectra; their electronic conductivities and c.v. waves have also been measured. The results show that dppm coordinates as a bridging bidentate ligand to the CuI atoms, and that NO3 behaves as a monodentate ligand or free ion in the newly prepared complexes.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of configurational isomers of tungsten-palladium complexes with bridging diphenyl(dithioalkoxycarbonyl)phosphine as a ligand and phosphine transfer from tungsten to palladium

Treatment of the complex [W(CO)5[PPh2(CS2Me)]] (2) with [Pd(PPh3)4] (1) affords binuclear complexes such as anti-[(Ph3P)2Pd[mu-eta 1,eta 2-(CS2Me)PPh2]W(CO)5] (3), syn-[(Ph3P)2Pd[mu-eta 1,eta 2-(CS2Me)PPh2]W(CO)5] (4), and trans-[W(CO)4(PPh3)2] (5). In 3 and 4, respectively, the W and Pd atoms are in anti and syn configurations with respect to the P-CS2 bond of the diphenyl(dithiomethoxycarbonyl)phosphine ligand, PPh2(CS2Me). Complex 3 undergoes extensive rearrangement in CHCl3 at room temperature by transfer of a PPh3 ligand from Pd to W, eliminating [W(CO)5(PPh3)] (7), while the PPh2CS2Me ligand transfers from W to Pd to give [[(Ph3P)Pd[mu-eta 1,eta 2-(CS2Me)PPh2]]2] (6). In complex 6, the [Pd(PPh3)] fragments are held together by two bridging PPh2(CS2Me) ligands. Each PPh2(CS2Me) ligand is pi-bonded to one Pd atom through the C=S linkage and sigma-bonded to the other Pd through the phosphorus atom, resulting in a six-membered ring. Treatment of Pd(PPh3)4 with [W(CO)5[PPh2[CS2(CH2)nCN]]] (n = 1, 8a; n = 2, 8b) in CH2Cl2 affords syn-[(Ph3P)2Pd[mu-eta 1,eta 2-[CS2(CH2)nCN]PPh2]W(CO)5] (n = 1, 9a; n = 2, 9b). Similar configurational products syn-[(Ph3P)2Pd[mu-eta 1,eta 2-(CS2R)PPh2]W(CO)5] (R = C2H5, C3H5, C2H4OH, C3H6CN, 11a-d) are synthesized by the reaction of Pd(PPh3)4 with [W(CO)5[PPh2(CS2R)]] (R = C2H5, C3H5, C2H4OH, C3H6CN, 10a-d). Although complexes 11a-d have the same configuration as 9a,b, the SR group is oriented away from Pd in the former and near Pd in the latter. In these complexes, the diphenyl(dithioalkoxycarbonyl)phosphine ligand is bound to the two metals through the C=S pi-bonding and to phosphorus through the sigma-bonding. All of the complexes are identified by spectroscopic methods, and the structures of complexes 3, 6, 9a, and 11d are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complexes 3, 9, and 11d crystallize in the triclinic space group P1 with Z = 2, whereas 6 belongs to the monoclinic space group P2/c with Z = 4. The cell dimensions are as follows: for 3, a = 10.920(3) A, b = 14.707(5) A, c = 16.654(5) A, alpha = 99.98(3) degrees, beta = 93.75(3) degrees, gamma = 99.44(3) degrees; for 6, a = 15.106(3) A, b = 9.848(3) A, c = 20.528(4) A, beta = 104.85(2) degrees; for 9a, a = 11.125(3) A, b = 14.089(4) A, c = 17.947(7) A, alpha = 80.13(3) degrees, beta = 80.39(3) degrees, gamma = 89.76(2) degrees; for 11d, a = 11.692(3) A, b = 13.602(9) A, c = 18.471(10) A, alpha = 81.29(5) degrees, beta = 80.88(3) degrees, gamma = 88.82(1) degrees.

Luminescent Ag i-Cu i heterometallic hexa-, octa-, and hexadecanuclear alkynyl complexes

A series of Ag(I)-Cu(I) heteronuclear alkynyl complexes were prepared by reaction of polymeric (MCCC(6)H(4)R-4)(n)() (M = Cu(I) or Ag(I); R = H, CH(3), OCH(3), NO(2), COCH(3)) with [M'(2)(mu-Ph(2)PXPPh(2))(2)(MeCN)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (M' = Ag(I) or Cu(I); X = NH or CH(2)). Heterohexanuclear complexes [Ag(4)Cu(2)(mu-Ph(2)PNHPPh(2))(4)(CCC(6)H(4)R-4)(4)](ClO(4))(2) (R = H, 1; CH(3), 2) were afforded when X = NH, and heterooctanuclear complexes [Ag(6)Cu(2)(micro-Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2))(3)(CCC(6)H(4)R-4)(6)(MeCN)](ClO(4))(2) (R = H, 3; CH(3), 4; OCH(3), 5; NO(2), 6) were isolated when X = CH(2). Self-assembly reaction between (MCCC(6)H(4)COCH(3)-4)(n) and [M'(2)(mu-Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2))(2)(MeCN)(2)](ClO(4))(2), however, gave heterohexadecanuclear complex [Ag(6)Cu(2)(micro-Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2))(3)(CCC(6)H(4)COCH(3)-4)(6)](2)(ClO(4))(4) (7). The heterohexanuclear complexes 1 and 2 show a bicapped cubic skeleton (Ag(4)Cu(2)C(4)) consisting of four Ag(I) and two Cu(I) atoms and four acetylide C donors. The heterooctanuclear complexes 3-6 exhibit a waterwheel-like structure that can be regarded as two Ag(3)Cu(CCC(6)H(5))(3) components put together by three bridging Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2) ligands. The heterohexadecanuclear complex 7 can be viewed as a dimer of heterooctanuclear complex [Ag(6)Cu(2)(micro-Ph(2)PCH(2)PPh(2))(3)(CCC(6)H(4)COCH(3)-4)(6)](ClO(4))(2) through the silver and acetyl oxygen (Ag-O = 2.534 (4) A) linkage between two waterwheel-like Ag(6)Cu(2) units. All of the complexes show intense luminescence in the solid states and in fluid solutions. The microsecond scale of lifetimes in the solid state at 298 K reveals that the emission is phosphorescent in nature. The emissive state in compounds 1-5 is likely derived from a (3)LMCT (CCC(6)H(4)R-4 --> Ag(4)Cu(2) or Ag(6)Cu(2)) transition, mixed with a metal cluster-centered (d --> s) excited state. The lowest lying excited state in compounds 6 and 7 containing electron-deficient 4-nitrophenylacetylide and 4-acetylphenylacetylide, respectively, however, is likely dominated by an intraligand (3)[pi --> pi] character.     

Group 11 complexes with unsymmetrical P,S and P,Se disubstituted ferrocene ligands

The reaction of the unsymmetrical ligands 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-(phenylsulfanyl)ferrocene and 1-diphenylphosphino-1'-(phenylselenyl)ferrocene, Fc(EPh)PPh2(E = S, Se), with several group 11 metal derivatives leads to the synthesis of complexes of the type [MX{Fc(EPh)PPh2}](M = Au, X = Cl, C6F5; M = Ag, X = OTf), (OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate), [M{Fc(EPh)PPh2}2]X (M = Au, X = ClO4; M = Ag, X = OTf), [M(PPh3){Fc(EPh)PPh2}]OTf (M = Au, Ag), [Au2{Fc(SPh)PPh2}2](ClO4)2, [Au(C6F5)2{Fc(SePh)PPh2}]ClO4, [Au(C6F5)3{Fc(EPh)PPh2}], [Au2(C6F5)6{Fc(SePh)PPh2}] or [Cu{Fc(EPh)PPh2}2]PF6(E = S, Se). In these complexes coordination depends upon the metal centre; with gold it takes place predominantly to the phosphorus atom and with silver and copper to both phosphorus and chalcogen atoms. The treatment of some of the gold complexes with other metal centres affords heterometallic derivatives that in some cases are in equilibrium with the homometallic derivatives. Several compounds have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, four pairs of homologous compounds, yet not a single pair is isotypic. In many of them a three dimensional network is formed through secondary bonds such as hydrogen bonds, Au...Cl or Au...Se interactions. The complex [Ag(OTf){Fc(SePh)PPh2}] forms one-dimensional chains through trifluoromethanesulfonate bridging ligands.

Mercury bis(phenyltellurolate) as a precursor for the synthesis of binary and ternary nanoclusters

The reaction of Hg(TePh)2 with AgX (X = Cl, NO3) in the presence of PPh3 and PMePh2 in dimethylformamide (DMF) affords the cluster [Hg6Ag4(TePh)16] (1) at room temperature or [Hg6Ag4Te(TePh)14]2 (2) with heating. When Hg(TePh)2 is reacted with [Co(PPh3)2Cl2] or [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2], the clusters [Hg8Te(PhTe)12Cl4]Q [3; Q = [Co(DMF)6]2+ (3a), [Ni(DMF)6]2+ (3b)] are formed. The syntheses of 1 and 2 occur with the incorporation of AgI into the cluster, and the single-crystal analyses show that the two ternary clusters consist of Hg, Ag, and Te centers occupying well-defined positions. Compounds 3a and 3b do not show the incorporation of the metal into the cluster, but the CoII and NiII salts provide the Cl atom to generate the anionic cluster 3 stabilized by the [Co(DMF)6]2+ or [Ni(DMF)6]2+ ion.

Mechanochemical and solution synthesis, and crystal structures and IR and solid-state (CPMAS) NMR spectroscopy of some bis(triphenylphosphine)silver(I) mono- and di-hydrogencitrate systems

The complex [(Ph(3)P)(2)Ag(H(2)cit)]·EtOH (1; H(2)cit(-) = dihydrogencitrate = C(6)H(7)O(7)(-)) contains [(Ph(3)P)(2)Ag(H(2)cit)] molecules in which the silver atom is coordinated to two PPh(3) molecules and the two oxygen atoms of one of the 'terminal'/1-carboxylate groups of the dihydrogencitrate group. The molecules form centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimers in the solid. In [{(Ph(3)P)(2)Ag}(2)(Hcit)], (2), unsymmetrical deprotonation of the citrate grouping is found, from the 1- and 3- (i.e. terminal and central) carboxylates: [(Ph(3)P)(2)Ag(O(2)CCH(2)C(OH) (CH(2)COOH)CO(2))Ag(PPh(3))(2)]. The above complexes, as well as [(Ph(3)P)(3)Ag(H(2)cit)] (3) were prepared via conventional solution methods, involving the reaction of trisilver(I) citrate, citric acid and triphenylphosphine, and by a mechanochemical method involving the reaction of silver(I) oxide, citric acid and triphenylphosphine. IR studies of 1-3 show the presence of coordinated carboxylate and free carboxylic acid groups in the mono- and di-hydrogencitrate ligands, and the formation of 2 from 1 shows that dihydrogencitrate deprotonation can occur upon dissolution of 1 in protic solvents. High-field (9.40 T) (31)P CPMAS NMR spectra were recorded and analysed, yielding heteronuclear (1)J((107/109)Ag,(31)P) and homonuclear (2)J((31)P,(31)P) spin-spin coupling constants.

This complex crystallizes in triclinic, space group Pí with a = 10.910(5), b = 15.777(7), c = 18.275(8), α = 68.752(12), β = 79.776(13), γ = 81.400(14)°, NiCuC65H50N4OP3, Mr = 1122.25, V = 2873(2)3 , Z = 2, Dc = 1.293 g/cm3, F(000) = 1156, μ = 0.826 mm-1, the final R = 0.0755 and wR = 0.2155 for 7324 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). The title compound exhibits a discrete square tetranuclear structure and a cubic order NLO property.
