NHC Supersilyl Silver Complex [Ag(IPr)SitBu3] as a Promising Agent for Substitution Reactions

The NHC supersilyl silver complex [Ag(IPr)SitBu₃] (IPr = NHC_IPr) was prepared by treatment of Ag(IPr)Cl with Na(thf)₂[SitBu₃] in benzene/thf at room temperature. X-ray quality crystals of the NHC supersilyl silver complex [Ag(IPr)SitBu₃] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/m) were grown from heptane at room temperature. The ²⁹Si NMR spectrum of a solution of [Ag(IPr)SitBu₃] in C₆D₆ revealed two doublets caused by coupling to ¹⁰⁷Ag and ¹⁰⁹Ag nuclei. We further investigated the possibility of a conversion of triel halides EX₃ by treatment with [Ag(IPr)SitBu₃]. At ambient temperature the reaction of [Ag(IPr)SitBu₃] with an excess of EX₃ yielded tBu₃SiEX₂ (E = B, Al; X = Cl, Br; E = Ga; X = Cl) and IPr · EX₃ (EX₃ = BCl₃, BBr₃, AlCl₃, AlBr₃, GaCl₃). The identity of tBu₃SiEX₂ and IPr · EX₃ was confirmed by comparison with authentic samples.     

Bis(amido)cyclodiphosph(III)azane Complexes of Yttrium and the Lanthanides

The first cyclodiphosph(III)azane complexes of the rare‐earth elements have been synthesized. Reactions of the lithium salt cis‐[(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂{Li(thf)}₂] with anhydrous yttrium trichloride or the heavier lanthanide trichlorides resulted in the corresponding cyclodiphosph(III)azane complexes [Li(thf)₄][{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}LnCl₂] (Ln=Y ( 1 a ), Ho ( 1 b ), Er ( 1 c )). The single‐crystal X‐ray structures showed that compounds 1 a – c consisted of ion pairs composed of a [Li(thf)₄]⁺ cation and a C_2v symmetric [{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}LnCl₂]^? anion. By treating cis‐[(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂{Li(thf)}₂] with anhydrous SmCl₃ in THF, the trimetallic complex [{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}SmCl₃Li₂(thf)₄] ( 2 ) was obtained. The influence of the ionic radii of the lanthanides can be seen in the single‐crystal X‐ray structure of compound 2 , which forms a six‐membered Cl‐Li‐Cl‐Li‐Cl‐Sm metallacycle. The ring adopts a boat conformation in which one chlorine atom and the samarium atom are displaced from the Cl₂Li₂ least‐square plane. Heating of the metalate complexes in toluene resulted in the extrusion of lithium chloride and the formation of the neutral dimeric metal chloride complexes of the composition [(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂LnCl(thf)]₂ (Ln=Y ( 3 a ), La ( 3 b ) Nd ( 3 c ), Sm ( 3 d )). Furthermore, treating 1 a with KNPh₂ resulted in a lithium metalate complex of the composition [Li(thf)₄][{(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}Y(NPh₂)₂] ( 4 ). The coordination mode of the {(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂}^2? ligand in 4 is different to that observed in 1 a – c , 2 , and 3 a – d ; instead of a symmetric η² coordination of the ligand, a heterocubane‐type structure is observed in the solid state. The complex [(tBuNP)₂(tBuN)₂NdCl(thf)] ( 3 c ) was used as a Ziegler–Natta catalyst for the polymerization of 1,3‐butadiene to poly‐cis‐1,4‐butadiene. The observed activities of the Ziegler–Natta catalyst strongly depended upon the nature of the cocatalyst; in some case very high turnover rates and a cis selectivity of 93–94 % were observed.     

Synthesis and structural characterisation of the oxo-rhenium(V) complexes with spirophosphorane derived bidentate ligand (PO). Crystal structure of trans-ReOCl2[OCMe2CMe2OP(OCMe2CMe2O)](PPh3)

The reactions of ReO(OEt)Cl₂L₂, L=py, PPh₃ or ReOCl₃(Me₂S)(OPPh₃), with spirohydrophosphorane HP(OCMe₂CMe₂O)₂ – abbreviated here as HPO – in toluene yield ReOCl₂(PO)L complexes, L=py (1), PPh₃ (2) and OPPh₃ (3), respectively. The encountered bidentate phosphite pinacolato (OCMe₂CMe₂O)POCMe₂CMe₂O⁻ ligand (PO⁻) is afforded by means of a spirophosphorane ring-opening reaction. All the pink–violet compounds 1–3 were characterised by NMR, IR and UV–Vis spectroscopies. The structure of trans-ReOCl₂(PO)PPh₃ (2) was determined crystallographically. The rhenium atom adopts distorted octahedral geometry with a trans multiply bonded terminal oxo ligand (Re–O_t=1.698(2) Å) trans to pinacolate oxygen (Re–O=1.880(2) Å). Two phosphorus atoms as well as two chlorides are mutually in a trans arrangement.

The Tb^IIIN₂O₇ moiety in the [Tb^III(nta)₂(H₂O)]³⁻ complex anion has a pseudo-monocapped square antiprismatic nine-coordinate structure, in which the eight coordinate atoms (two N and six O) are from two nta ligands and the water molecule is coordinated to the central Tb^III ion directly as the ninth coordinate atom. The crystal of the (NH₄)₃[Er^III(nta)₂] complex belongs to the trigonal crystal system and R-3^c space group. Crystal data are as follows: a = 7.9181(16) Å, b = 7.9181(16) Å, c = 54.27(2) Å, γ = 120°, V = 2946.7(14) ų, Z = 6, Mr = 597.61, D _c = 2.021 g·cm⁻³, μ = 4.345 mm⁻¹, and F(000) = 1770.

The Er^IIIN₂O₆ part in the [Er^III(nta)₂]³⁻ complex anion is an eight-coordinate structure with a pseudo-dicapped octahedron, in which the eight coordinate atoms (two N and six O) are from two nta ligands.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by J.

以[M(DETA)2)]n+(M=Cu2+, Ni2+, Co3+)为客体的MnPS3夹层化合物的合成、结构表征与磁性研究

Reactions of the cycloheptatrienyl complexes [MX(CO)2(η-C7H7)] (M=Mo, X=Br; M=W, X=I) with CNBu: X-ray crystal structure of [WI(CO)2(CNBu)2(η-C7H7)]

Reaction of [MX(CO)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)] (M=Mo, X=Br; M=W, X=I) with two equivalents of CNBu^t in toluene affords the trihapto-bonded cycloheptatrienyl complexes [MX(CO)₂(CNBu^t)₂(η³-C₇H₇)] (1, M=Mo, X=Br; 2, M=W, X=I). The X-ray crystal structure of 2 reveals a pseudo-octahedral molecular geometry with an asymmetric ligand arrangement at tungsten in which one CNBu^t is located trans to the η³-C₇H₇ ring. Treatment of 2 with tetracyanoethene results in 1,4-cycloaddition at the η³-C₇H₇ ring to give [WI(CO)₂(CNBu^t)₂{η³-C₉H₇(CN)₄}], 3. The principal reaction type of the molybdenum complex 1 is loss of carbonyl and bromide ligands to afford substituted products [MoBr(CNBu^t)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)] 4 or [Mo(CO)(CNBu^t)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)]Br. Reaction of [MoBr(CO)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)] with one equivalent of CNBu^t in toluene at 60°C affords [MoBr(CO)(CNBu^t)(η⁷-C₇H₇)], 5, which is a precursor to [Mo(CO)(CNBu^t)(NCMe)(η⁷-C₇H₇)][BF₄], 6, by reaction with Ag[BF₄] in acetonitrile. In contrast with the parent dicarbonyl systems [MoX(CO)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)], complexes of the Mo(CO)(CNBu^t)(η⁷-C₇H₇) auxiliary, 5 and 6, do not afford observable η³-C₇H₇ products by ligand addition at the molybdenum centre.

Each copper atom in complex 1 reveals an axially elongated octahedral geometry with an inversion center. Magnetic susceptibility measurement shows a weak ferromagnetic interaction between two Cu(1) and Cu(2) centers with a J value of +0.12 cm^-1. The intermolecular hydrogen–bonding interaction gives rise to a three-dimensional network.

Oxo- and Thiotantalum(V) Compounds: Synthesis of TaOX₃ and TaSX₃ (X = OR, SR) TaO(OR)₃ [R = ^tC₄H₉, Mes* ( 2 )], TaO(SR)₃ [R = ^tC₄H₉, p-Tolyl], TaS(OR)₃ [R = ^tC₄H₉, Mes* ( 6 )] and TaS(SR)₃ [R = ^tC₄H₉, p-Tolyl] have been prepared by reaction of TaOCl₃ and TaSCl₃ with LiOR or LiSR. The reaction of TaCl₅ with an excess of LiOMes* yields the chlorotantalum(V)compounds TaCl₃(OMes*)₂ and TaCl₂(OMes*)₃ ( 10 ). The synthesis of TaCl₂(ⁿC₄H₉)(OMes*)₂ ( 11 ), Ta(Sp-Tolyl)₅ and TaCl₂(OEt)₃ · C₅H₅N are also described. 2, 6, 10 and 11 decompose in benzolic solution or by heating under vacuum splitting off 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl-phenol, n-butane respectively, and forming cyclometallated tantalum(V) complexes with the bidentate ligand OC₆H₂^tBu₂CMe₂CH₂. TaCl₂(OEt)₃ was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis; the crystal structure has been found to be a binuclear tantalum complex with two bridging ethoxo ligands.
