Photoinduced Fe-Cp bond cleavage and insertion reactions of strained silicon- and sulphur-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes in the presence of transition-metal carbonyls

The photochemical reactions of the moderately strained sila[1]ferrocenophane [Fe(eta-C(5)H(4))(2)SiPh(2)] (1) and the highly strained thia[1]ferrocenophane [Fe(eta-C(5)H(4))(2)S] (8) with transition-metal carbonyls ([Fe(CO)(5)], [Fe(2)(CO)(9)] and [Co(2)(CO)(8)]) have been studied. The use of metal carbonyls has allowed the products of photochemically induced Fe-cyclopentadienyl (Cp) bond cleavage reactions in the [1]ferrocenophanes to be trapped as stable, characterisable products. During the course of these studies the synthesis of 8 from [Fe(eta-C(5)H(4)Li)(2)TMEDA] (TMEDA=N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) and S(SO(2)Ph)(2) has been significantly improved by a change of reaction solvent and temperature. Photochemical reaction of 1 with excess [Fe(CO)(5)] in THF gave the dinuclear complex [Fe(2)(CO)(2)(mu-CO)(2)(eta-C(5)H(4))(2)SiPh(2)] (9). The analogous photolytic reaction of 8 with [Fe(CO)(5)] in THF gave cyclic dimer [Fe(eta-C(5)H(4))(2)S](2) (10) and [Fe(2)(CO)(2)(mu-CO)(2)(eta-C(5)H(4))(2)S] (11), with the former being the major product. Photolysis of 1 with [Co(2)(CO)(8)] afforded the remarkable tetrametallic dimer [(CO)(2)Co(eta-C(5)H(4))SiPh(2)(eta-C(5)H(4))Fe(CO)(2)](2) (13). The corresponding photochemical reaction of 8 with [Co(2)(CO)(8)] gave a trimetallic insertion product in high conversion, [Co(CO)(4)(CO)(2)Fe(eta-C(5)H(4))S(eta-C(5)H(4))Co(CO)(2)] (14). These reactivity studies show that UV light promotes Fe-Cp bond cleavage reactions of both of the [1]ferrocenophanes 1 and 8. We have found that, whereas the less strained sila[1]ferrocenophane 1 requires photoactivation for Fe-Cp bond insertions to occur, the highly strained thia[1]ferrocenophane 8 undergoes both irradiative and non-irradiative insertions, although the latter occur at a slower rate. Our results suggest that such photoinduced bond cleavage reactions may be general and applicable to other related strained organometallic rings with pi-hydrocarbon ligands.

Chemistry of the Si-Si and Fe-Fe bonds in the cyclic structure (Me2SiSiMe2)[eta5-C5H4FeCO2]2. Selective cleavage of the Fe-Fe bond by I2 and unexpected properties of the iodide

The Si-Si bond in the title cyclic structure (1) exhibited unexpected stability toward I(2). Thus, the reaction of 1 with 1 equiv of I(2) in chloroform resulted in selective cleavage of the Fe-Fe bond to afford diiodide (Me(2)SiSiMe(2))[eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Fe(CO)(2)I](2) (2) with retention of the Si-Si bond. When excess (2-4 equiv) I(2) was used to react with 1 in either benzene or chloroform, iodonium-bridged diiron complex [(Me(2)SiSiMe(2))[eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Fe(CO)(2)](2)I(+)](I(5)(-)) (4) was obtained, in which the Si-Si bond was still retained. It is noteworthy that 4 contains a counteranion I(5)(-) rather than the expected I(3)(-), which is the first example for an iodonium-bridged diiron complex to combine a polyiodide anion larger than I(3)(-). UV irradiation of 2 did not affect the stability of the silicon-silicon bond and, in the presence of PR(3), resulted in CO substitution to give (Me(2)SiSiMe(2))[eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Fe(CO)(PR(3))I](2) (5, R = Ph; 6, R = OPh). The molecular structure of 2 was determined by the X-ray diffraction method. It is noteworthy that the structure of 2 does not take the expected anti conformation but adopts a gauche one. The length of the Si-Si bond of 2 [2.353(3) A] is about the same as that of 1 [2.346(4) A], which can be direct evidence to demonstrate that the Si-Si bond in the cyclic structure of 1 is not subject to significant ring strain. The molecular structure of 4 was also determined by the X-ray diffraction method. It is noted that the structure of 4 contains an abnormally large Fe-I(+)-Fe bond angle of 121.25(7) degrees. Of particular interest is the observation that the I(5)(-) anions of 4 are self-assembled into novel layered, two-dimensional networks with the (Me(2)SiSiMe(2))[eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Fe(CO)(2)](2)I(+) cations as the template.     

Electroswitchable photoluminescence activity: synthesis, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, photophysics, and X-ray crystal and electronic structures of [Re(bpy)(CO)3(C[triple bond]C[bond]C6H4[bond]C[triple bond]C)Fe(C5Me5)(dppe)][PF6](n) (n = 0, 1)

A novel heterobimetallic alkynyl-bridged complex, [Re(bpy)(CO)(3)(C[triple bond]C[bond]C(6)H(4)[bond]C[triple bond]C)Fe(C(5)Me(5))(dppe)], 1, and its oxidized species, [Re(bpy)(CO)(3)(C[triple bond]C[bond]C(6)H(4)[bond]C[triple bond]C)Fe(C(5)Me(5))(dppe)][PF(6)], 2, have been synthesized and their X-ray crystal structures determined. A related vinylidene complex, [Re(bpy)(CO)(3)(C[triple bond]C[bond]C(6)H(4)[bond](H)C[double bond]C)Fe(C(5)Me(5))(dppe)][PF(6)], 3, has also been synthesized and characterized. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 shows a quasireversible reduction couple at -1.49 V (vs SCE), a fully reversible oxidation at -0.19 V, and a quasireversible oxidation at +0.88 V. In accord with the electrochemical results, density-functional theory calculations on the hydrogen-substituted model complex Re(bpy)(CO)(3)(C[triple bond]C[bond]C(6)H(4)[bond]C[triple bond]C)Fe(C(5)H(5))(dHpe) (Cp = C(5)H(5), dHpe = H(2)P[bond](CH(2))(2)[bond]PH(2)) (1-H) show that the LUMO is mainly bipyridine ligand pi* in character while the HOMO is largely iron(II) d orbital in character. The electronic absorption spectrum of 1 shows low-energy absorption at 390 nm with a 420 nm shoulder in CH(2)Cl(2), while that of 2 exhibits less intense low-energy bands at 432 and 474 nm and additional low-energy bands in the NIR at ca. 830, 1389, and 1773 nm. Unlike the related luminescent rhenium(I)-alkynyl complex [Re(bpy)(CO)(3)(C[triple bond]C[bond]C(6)H(4)[bond]C[triple bond]C[bond]H)], 4, complex 1 is found to be nonemissive, and such a phenomenon is attributed to an intramolecular quenching of the emissive d pi(Re) --> pi*(bpy) (3)MLCT state by the low-lying MLCT and LF excited states of the iron moiety. Interestingly, switching on of the luminescence property derived from the d pi(Re) --> pi*(bpy) (3)MLCT state can be demonstrated in the oxidized species 2 and the related vinylidene analogue 3 due to the absence of the quenching pathway.     

Unsaturation in binuclear cyclopentadienyliron carbonyls

The binuclear cyclopentadienyliron carbonyls Cp2Fe2(CO)n (n = 4, 3, 2, 1; Cp = eta(5)-C5H5) have been studied by density functional theory (DFT) using the B3LYP and BP86 methods. The trans- and cis-Cp2Fe2(CO)2(mu-CO)2 isomers of Cp2Fe2(CO)4 known experimentally are predicted by DFT methods to be genuine minima with no significant imaginary vibrational frequencies. The energies of these two Cp2Fe2(CO)2(mu-CO)2 structures are very similar, consistent with the experimental observation of an equilibrium between these isomers in solution. An intermediate between the interconversion of the trans- and cis-Cp2Fe2(CO)2(mu-CO)2 dibridged isomers of Cp2Fe2(CO)4 can be the trans unbridged isomer of Cp2Fe2(CO)4 calculated to be 2.3 kcal/mol (B3LYP) or 9.1 kcal/mol (BP86) above the global minimum trans-Cp2Fe2(CO)2(mu-CO)2. For the unsaturated Cp2Fe2(CO)3, the known triplet isomer Cp2Fe2(mu-CO)3 with an Fe=Fe double bond similar to the O=O double bond in O2 is found to be the global minimum. The lowest-energy structure for the even more unsaturated Cp2Fe2(CO)2 is a dibridged structure Cp2Fe2(mu-CO)2, with a short Fe-Fe distance suggestive of the Fe[triple bond]Fe triple bond required to give both Fe atoms the favored 18-electron configuration. Singlet and triplet unbridged structures for Cp2Fe2(CO)2 were also found but at energies considerably higher (20-50 kcal/mol) than that of the global minimum Cp2Fe2(mu-CO)2. The lowest-energy structure for Cp2Fe2(CO) is the triplet unsymmetrically bridged structure Cp2Fe2(mu-CO), with a short Fe-Fe distance (approximately 2.1 A) suggestive of the sigma + 2pi + (2/2)delta Fe[quadruple bond]Fe quadruple bond required to give both Fe atoms the favored 18-electron rare gas configuration.     

Binuclear methylborole iron carbonyls: iron-iron multiple bonds and perpendicular structures

Methylborole iron tricarbonyl, (η(5)-C(4)H(4)BCH(3))Fe(CO)(3), is known experimentally and is a potential source of binuclear (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(n) (n = 5, 4, 3, 2, 1) derivatives through reactions such as photolysis. In this connection the lowest energy (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(5) structures are predicted theoretically to have a single bridging carbonyl group and Fe-Fe distances consistent with formal single bonds. The lowest energy (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(4) structures have two bridging carbonyl groups and Fe═Fe distances suggesting formal double bonds. Analogously, the lowest energy (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(3) structures have three bridging carbonyl groups and very short Fe≡Fe distances suggesting formal triple bonds. The tetracarbonyl (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(4) is predicted to be thermodynamically unstable toward disproportionation into (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(5) + (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(3), whereas the tricarbonyl is thermodynamically viable toward analogous disproportionation. The lowest energy structures of the more highly unsaturated methylborole iron carbonyls (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO)(n) (n = 2, 1) have hydrogen atoms bridging an iron-carbon bond. In addition, the lowest energy (C(4)H(4)BCH(3))(2)Fe(2)(CO) structures are "slipped perpendicular" structures with bridging methylborole ligands, a terminal carbonyl group, and agostic CH(3)→Fe interactions involving the methyl hydrogens. Thus, in these highly unsaturated systems the methyl substituent in the methylborole ligand chosen in this work is not an "innocent bystander" but instead participates in the metal-ligand bonding.

Facile synthesis and functionality-dependent electrochemistry of Fe-only hydrogenase mimics

A series of azadithiolate (adt)-bridged Fe-only hydrogenase model complexes, Fe2(CO)6(mu-adt)C6H4I-4 (1), Fe2(CO)6(mu-adt)C6H4C[triple bond]CR [R = C6H4NO2-4 (2), C6H4CHO-4 (3), C6H4NH2-4 (4), C6H4COOH-4 (5), C6H4COOCH2CH3-4 (6), C6H4F-4 (7), C6H5 (8), C6H4OCH3-4 (9), C6H4N(CH3)2-4 (10)], [Fe2(CO)5(PPh3)(mu-adt)C6H4I-4 (11), and Fe2(CO)5(PPh3)(mu-adt)C6H4C[triple bond]CC6H4NO2-4 (12), have been synthesized in high yields under mild conditions. The linear geometry and rigidity of a triple bond act as an effective bridge to anchor a functionality ranging from electron-donating to electron-accepting, even coordinative groups in the adt model complexes. X-ray crystal analysis of 2, 3, and 6-12 reveals that the model complexes retain the butterfly structure of Fe2S2 model analogues. A rigid phenylacetylene offers excellent control over the distance between the functional group and the active site of Fe2S2 model complexes. The unusual Fe-Fe distance and the angles found in the molecular packing of 6 are originated from the intriguing intermolecular C-H...O and C-H...S interactions. More importantly, electrochemical studies reveal that all of the complexes can catalyze electrochemical reduction of protons to molecular hydrogen, but the reduction potential for the electron-transfer step can be remarkably altered by the functionality R. The electroreductively active nitro group in 2 and 12 displays the enhanced current at a potential substantially less negative than the reduction of [Fe(I)Fe(I)] + e(-) --> [Fe(I)Fe(0)], which is most accessible and becomes the initial step. For complex 3, the second reduction peak for the electron-transfer step involves the contribution from the aldehyde functionality. As the electroreductively inactive groups are incorporated, the reduction process of [Fe(I)Fe(I)] + e(-) --> [Fe(I)Fe(0)] appears first and the second reduction peak for the electron-transfer step from the [Fe(I)Fe(0)] + e(-) --> [Fe(0)Fe(0)] process for 4-10 is clearly observed. Therefore, the order of electron and proton uptake is closely related to the electroreductively active functionality, R. Varying the nature of the functionality R leads to the electron-transfer step changes from the reduction of the electroreductively active R group to the active site of Fe2S2 model complexes subsequently. Accordingly, notwithstanding, acetic acid is too weak to protonate the series of 2-12, different reduction pathways can be followed, and the electrochemically catalyzed behavior may occur at different reduction levels.
