Ansa‐Complexes of [Mn(η5‐C5H5)(η6‐C6H6)]: Preparation,Characterization, and Reactivity of [n]Manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2, 3)

We report the synthesis of [n]manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2) featuring boron, silicon, germanium, and tin as ansa‐bridging elements. Their preparation was achieved by salt‐elimination reactions of the dilithiated precursor [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄Li)(η⁶‐C₆H₅Li)]?pmdta (pmdta=N,N,N′,N′,N′′‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) with corresponding element dichlorides. Besides characterization by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, the identity of two single‐atom‐bridged derivatives, [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] and [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SiPh₂], could also be determined by X‐ray structural analysis. We investigated for the first time the reactivity of these ansa‐cyclopentadienyl–benzene manganese compounds. The reaction of the distannyl‐bridged complex [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)Sn₂tBu₄] with elemental sulfur was shown to proceed through the expected oxidative addition of the Sn?Sn bond to give a triatomic ansa‐bridge. The investigation of the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) capability of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] showed that an unexpected, unselective insertion into the C_ipso?Sn bonds of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] had occurred.     

Reactions of Cyclohexyl Isocyanide with η5‐Substituted Cyclo‐pentadienyl MoMo Triply Bonded Complexes. Crystal Structure of [Mo(CO)2(η5‐C5H4CO2CH3)]2(μ‐η2‐CNC6H11)

Reactions of one or two equiv. of cyclohexyl isocyanide in THF at room temperature with Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) gave the isocyanide coordinated Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes with functionally substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands, [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂(μ‐η²‐CNC₆H₁₁) ( 1a , R=COCH₃; 1b , R=CO₂CH₃) and [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)(CNC₆H₁₁)]₂ ( 2a , R=COCH₃; 2b , R=CO₂CH₃), respectively. Complexes 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b could be more conveniently prepared by thermal decarbonylation of Mo? Mo singly bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in toluene at reflux, followed by treatment of the resulting Mo?Mo triply bonded complexes [Mo(CO)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄R)]₂ (R=COCH₃, CO₂CH₃) in situ with cyclohexyl isocyanide. While 1a , 1b and 2a , 2b were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy, 1b was further characterized by X‐ray crystallography.

Treatment of Pd(PPh₃)₄ with 5‐bromo‐pyrimidine [C₄H₃N₂Br] in dichloromethane at ambient temperature cause the oxidative addition reaction to produce the palladium complex [Pd(PPh₃)₂(η¹‐C₄H₃N₂)(Br)], 1 , by substituting two triphenylphosphine ligands. In acetonitrile solution of 1 in refluxing temperature for 1 day, it do not undergo displacement of the triphenylphosphine ligand to form the dipalladium complex [Pd(PPh₃)Br]₂{μ,η²‐(η¹‐C₄H₃N₂)}₂, or bromide ligand to form chelating pyrimidine complex [Pd(PPh₃)₂(η²‐C₄H₃N₂)]Br. Complex 1 reacted with bidentate ligand, NH₄S₂CNC₄H₈, and tridentate ligand, KTp {Tp = tris(pyrazoyl‐1‐yl)borate}, to obtain the η²‐dithiocarbamate η¹‐pyrimidine complex [Pd(PPh₃)(η¹‐C₄H₃N₂)(η²‐S₂CNC₄H₈)], 4 and η²‐Tp η¹‐pyrimidine complex [Pd(PPh₃)(η¹‐C₄H₃N₂)(η²‐Tp)], 5 , respectively. Complexes 4 and 5 are characterized by X‐ray diffraction analyses.

The η²‐thio‐indium complexes [In(η²‐thio)₃] (thio = S₂CNC₅H₁₀, 2 ; SNC₄H₄, (pyridine‐2‐thionate, pyS, 3 ) and [In(η²‐pyS)₂(η²‐acac)], 4 , (acac: acetylacetonate) are prepared by reacting the tris(η²‐acac)indium complex [In(η²‐acac)₃], 1 with HS₂CNC₅H₁₀, pySH, and pySH with ratios of 1:3, 1:3, and 1:2 in dichloromethane at room temperature, respectively. All of these complexes are identified by spectroscopic methods and complexes 2 and 3 are determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Crystal data for 2 : space group, C2/c with a = 13.5489(8) Å, b = 12.1821(7) Å, c = 16.0893(10) Å, β = 101.654(1)°, V = 2600.9(3) ų, and Z = 4. The structure was refined to R = 0.033 and Rw = 0.086; Crystal data for 3 : space group, P2₁ with a = 8.8064 (6) Å, b = 11.7047 (8) Å, c = 9.4046 (7) Å, β = 114.78 (1)°, V = 880.13(11) ų, and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R = 0.030 and Rw = 0.061. The geometry around the metal atom of the two complexes is a trigonal prismatic coordination. The piperidinyldithiocarbamate and pyridine‐2‐thionate ligands, respectively, coordinate to the indium metal center through the two sulfur atoms and one sulfur and one nitrogen atoms, respectively. The short C‐N bond length in the range of 1.322(4)–1.381(6) Å in 2 and C‐S bond length in the range of 1.715(2)–1.753(6) Å in 2 and 3 , respectively, indicate considerable partial double bond character.     

Reaction of (η5‐C5H5)Fe(CO)2I with Anionic Bidentate Phosphine Ligands PPh2(o‐C6H4NHLi) or PPh2(o‐C6H4OLi)

The o‐substituted hybrid phenylphosphines, PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NH₂) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OH), could be deprotonated with LDA or n‐BuLi to yield PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄NHLi) and PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄OLi), respectively. When added to a solution of (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂I at room temperature, these two lithiated reagents produce a chelated neutral complex 1 (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)[C(O)NH(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐C,P‐η²] for the former and mainly a zwitterionic complex 2 , (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe⁺(CO)₂[PPh₂(o‐C₆H₄O^?)] for the latter. Complex 1 could easily be protonated and then decarbonylated to give 4 [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO){NH₂(o‐C₆H₄)PPh₂‐N,P‐η²}⁺]. Complexes 1 and 4‐I have been crystallographically characterized with X‐ray diffraction.     

Isolation of New Disilanylene-bridged Bis（cyclopentadienyl）tetracarbonyldiiron Complexes and Molecular Structure of [η^5, η^5-C5H4SiMe（SiMePh2）C5H4]Fe2（CO）2（μ-CO）2

1,2-Diphenyl-1,2-dimethyldisilanylene-bridged bis-cyclopentadienyl complex[η~5,η~5-C_5H_4PhMeSiSiMePh-C_5H_4]Fe_2(CO)_2(μ-CO)_2(1)was synthesized by a modified procedure,from which the trans-isomer 1b that was pre-viously difficult to obtain has been isolated for the first time.More interestingly,two new regio-isomers[η~5,η~5C_5H_4SiMe(SiMePh_2)C_5H_4]Fe_2(CO)_2(μ-CO)_2(2)and [η~5,η~5-C_5H_4Me_2SiSiPh_2C_5H_4]Fe_2(CO)_2(μ-CO)_2(3)were occa-sionally obtained during above process,the novel structures of which opened up new options for further study ofthis type of Si—Si bond-containing transition metal complexes.The molecular structure of 2 has been determinedby the X-ray diffraction method.     

Synthese,Struktur und Reaktivität von η3‐1,2‐Diphosphaallylkomplexen sowie von [{(η5‐C5H5)(CO)2W–Co(CO)3}{μ‐AsCH(SiMe3)2}(μ‐CO)]

Syntheses, Structure and Reactivity of η³‐1,2‐Diphosphaallyl Complexes and [{(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃}{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] Reaction of ClP=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂ ( 3 ) with Na[Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] afforded the phosphavinylidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo=P=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 4 ) which in situ was converted into the η¹‐1,2‐diphosphaallyl complex [η⁵‐(C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 6 ) by treatment with the phosphaalkene tBuP=C(NMe₂)₂. The chloroarsanyl complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₃M–As(Cl)CH(SiMe₃)₂] [where M = Mo ( 9 ); M = W ( 10 )] resulted from the reaction of Na[M(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] (M = Mo, W) with Cl₂AsCH(SiMe₃)₂. The tungsten derivative 10 and Na[Co(CO)₄] underwent reaction to give the dinuclear μ‐arsinidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] ( 11 ). Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₃)₂}] ( 1 ) with an equimolar amount of ethereal HBF₄ gave rise to a 85/15 mixture of the saline complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η²‐tBu(H)P–P(F)CH(SiMe₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 18 ) and [Cp(CO)₂Mo{F₂PCH(SiMe₃)₂}(tBuPH₂)]BF₄ ( 19 ) by HF‐addition to the PC bond of the η³‐diphosphaallyl ligand and subsequent protonation ( 18 ) and/or scission of the PP bond by the acid ( 19 ). Consistently 19 was the sole product when 1 was allowed to react with an excess of ethereal HBF₄. The products 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 18 and 19 were characterized by means of spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR, MS). Moreover, the molecular structures of 6 , 11 and 18 were determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Mononuclear Complexes of Platinum Group Metals Containing η6‐ and η5‐Cyclic Π‐Perimeter Hydrocarbon and Pyridylpyrazolyl Derivatives: Syntheses and Structural Studies

Piano‐stool‐shaped platinum group metal compounds, stable in the solid state and in solution, which are based on 2‐(5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)pyridine ( L ) with the formulas [(η⁶‐arene)Ru( L )Cl]PF₆ {arene = C₆H₆ ( 1 ), p‐cymene ( 2 ), and C₆Me₆, ( 3 )}, [(η⁶‐C₅Me₅)M( L )Cl]PF₆ {M = Rh ( 4 ), Ir ( 5 )}, and [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Ru(PPh₃)( L )]PF₆ ( 6 ), [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Os(PPh₃)( L )]PF₆ ( 7 ), [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)Ru(PPh₃)( L )]PF₆ ( 8 ), and [(η⁵‐C₉H₇)Ru(PPh₃)( L )]PF₆ ( 9 ) were prepared by a general method and characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The molecular structures of compounds 4 and 5 were established by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. In each compound the metal is connected to N1 and N11 in a k² manner.     

Kristallstruktur von Natrium‐Dihydrogencyamelurat‐Tetrahydrat Na[H2(C6N7)O3] · 4 H2O

Crystal Structure of Sodium Dihydrogencyamelurate Tetrahydrate Na[H₂(C₆N₇)O₃] · 4 H₂O Sodium dihydrogencyamelurate‐tetrahydrate Na[H₂(C₆N₇)O₃]·4 H₂O was obtained by neutralisation of an aqueous solution, previously prepared by hydrolysis of the polymer melon with sodium hydroxide. The crystal structure was solved by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction ( a = 6.6345(13), b = 8.7107(17), c = 11.632(2) Å, α = 68.96(3), β = 87.57(3), γ = 68.24(3)°, V = 579.5(2) ų, Z = 2, R1 = 0.0535, 2095 observed reflections, 230 parameters). Both hydrogen atoms of the dihydrogencyamelurate anion are directly bound to nitrogen atoms of the cyameluric nucleus, thus proving the preference of the keto‐tautomere in salts of cyameluric acid in the solid‐state. The compound forms a layer‐like structure with an extensive hydrogen bonding network.     

Silver–Ethene Complexes [Ag(η2‐C2H4)n][Al(ORF)4] with n=1, 2, 3 (RF=Fluorine‐Substituted Group)

Compounds including the free or coordinated gas‐phase cations [Ag(η²‐C₂H₄)_n]⁺ (n=1–3) were stabilized with very weakly coordinating anions [A]^? (A=Al{OC(CH₃)(CF₃)₂}₄, n=1 ( 1 ); Al{OC(H)(CF₃)₂}₄, n=2 ( 3 ); Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄, n=3 ( 5 ); {(F₃C)₃CO}₃Al‐F‐Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₃, n=3 ( 6 )). They were prepared by reaction of the respective silver(I) salts with stoichiometric amounts of ethene in CH₂Cl₂ solution. As a reference we also prepared the isobutene complex [(Me₂C?CH₂)Ag(Al{OC(CH₃)(CF₃)₂}₄)] ( 2 ). The compounds were characterized by multinuclear solution‐NMR, solid‐state MAS‐NMR, IR and Raman spectroscopy as well as by their single crystal X‐ray structures. MAS‐NMR spectroscopy shows that the [Ag(η²‐C₂H₄)₃]⁺ cation in its [Al{OC(CF₃)₃}₄]^? salt exhibits time‐averaged D_3h‐symmetry and freely rotates around its principal z‐axis in the solid state. All routine X‐ray structures (2θ_max.<55°) converged within the 3σ limit at C?C double bond lengths that were shorter or similar to that of free ethene. In contrast, the respective Raman active C?C stretching modes indicated red‐shifts of 38 to 45 cm^?1, suggesting a slight C?C bond elongation. This mismatch is owed to residual librational motion at 100 K, the temperature of the data collection, as well as the lack of high angular data owing to the anisotropic electron distribution in the ethene molecule. Therefore, a method for the extraction of the C?C distance in [M(C₂H₄)] complexes from experimental Raman data was developed and meaningful C?C distances were obtained. These spectroscopic C?C distances compare well to newly collected X‐ray data obtained at high resolution (2θ_max.=100°) and low temperature (100 K). To complement the experimental data as well as to obtain further insight into bond formation, the complexes with up to three ligands were studied theoretically. The calculations were performed with DFT (BP86/TZVPP, PBE0/TZVPP), MP2/TZVPP and partly CCSD(T)/AUG‐cc‐pVTZ methods. In most cases several isomers were considered. Additionally, [M(C₂H₄)₃] (M=Cu⁺, Ag⁺, Au⁺, Ni⁰, Pd⁰, Pt⁰, Na⁺) were investigated with AIM theory to substantiate the preference for a planar conformation and to estimate the importance of σ donation and π back donation. Comparing the group 10 and 11 analogues, we find that the lack of π back bonding in the group 11 cations is almost compensated by increased σ donation.     

Heteroleptic [n]Chromoarenophanes: ansa Complexes Derived from [Cr(η5‐C5H5)(η6‐C6H6)]

The synthesis of ansa complexes has been studied intensively owing to their importance as homogeneous catalysts and as precursors of metal‐containing polymers. However, paramagnetic non‐metallocene derivatives are rare and have been limited to examples with vanadium and titanium. Herein, we report an efficient procedure for the selective dilithiation of paramagnetic sandwich complex [Cr(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(η⁶‐C₆H₆)], which allows the preparation of a series of [n]chromoarenophanes (n=1, 2, 3) that feature silicon, germanium, and tin atoms at the bridging positions. The electronic and structural properties of these complexes were probed by X‐ray diffraction analysis, cyclic voltammetry, and by UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic parameters for the strained and less strained complexes (i.e., with multiple‐atom linkers) indicate that the unpaired electron resides primarily in a d orbital on chromium(I); this result was also supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We did not observe a correlation between the experimental UV/Vis and EPR data and the degree of molecular distortion in these ansa complexes. The treatment of tin‐bridged complex [Cr(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] results in the non‐regioselective insertion of the low‐valent Pt⁰ fragment into the C_ipso? Sn bonds in both the five‐ and six‐membered rings, thereby furnishing a bimetallic complex. This observed reactivity suggests that ansa complexes of this type are promising starting materials for the synthesis of bimetallic complexes in general and also underline their potential to undergo ring‐opening processes to yield new metal‐containing polymers.     

Halfsandwich Carbonylmetal Complexes of Vanadium,Chromium, and Manganese Containing Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane,P(C7H7)3

The photo‐induced substitution of a CO ligand has been used to prepare the halfsandwich complexes (η³‐C₃H₅)V(CO)₄[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 1 ), (η⁵‐C₅H₅)V(CO)₃[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 2 ), (η⁷‐C₇H₇)V(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 3 ), (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 4 ), and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 7 ), in which the olefinic phosphane is coordinated as a conventional two‐electron ligand through the lone pair of electrons at phosphorus. Some analogues, which are permethylated at the aromatic ring ( 2* , 4* , 7* ), were included for comparison. Subsequent photo‐elimination of another CO group from 4 or 7 converts the olefinic phosphane into a chelating four‐electron ligand, leading to (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂(η²‐C₇H₇)] ( 5 ) and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂(η²‐C₇H₇)] ( 8 ), respectively. The η²‐coordinated double bond in 5 and 8 can be displaced by trimethylphosphite to give (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₃][P(OMe)₃] ( 6 ) and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₃][P(OMe)₃] ( 9 ). The ³¹P and ¹³C NMR spectra of all complexes are discussed, and X‐ray structure analyses for 2 and 8 are presented. Prolonged irradiation of 7 and 8 led to a di(cycloheptatrienyl)phosphido‐bridged dimer, {(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂]}₂( 10 ).     

Synthesis,Characterization and Reactivity of the Tricarbonyl(formylcycloheptatrienyl)iron‐Anion [(η3‐C7H6CHO)Fe(CO)3]−

Deprotonation of the readily available organometallic aldehyde derivative [(η⁴‐C₇H₇CHO)Fe(CO)₃] ( 2 ) with NaN(SiMe₃)₂ in benzene solution at ambient temperature afforded the anionic formylcycloheptatrienyl complex Na[(η³‐C₇H₆CHO)Fe(CO)₃] ( 3 ). The anion is fluxional in solution and displays a unique ambident reactivity towards electrophiles (MeI, Me₃SiCl). New substituted [(η⁴‐RC₇H₆CHO)Fe(CO)₃] and [(η⁴‐heptafulvene)Fe(CO)₃] complexes have been identified as the products. Treatment of 3 with 0.5 equivalents of dimeric [(COD)RhCl]₂ (COD = 1,5‐cyclooctadiene) afforded the functionalized Fe‐Rh cycloheptatrienyl complex [(μ‐C₇H₆CHO)(CO)₃FeRh(COD)] ( 7 ) in up to 86 % yield. Carbonylation of 7 under an atmosphere of CO led to facile conversion to the heterobimetallic pentacarbonyl derivative [(μ‐C₇H₆CHO)(CO)₃FeRh(CO)₂] ( 8 ), which is also accessible in lower yield from the direct reaction of 3 with [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂.

Treatment of Pd(PPh₃₎₄ with 2‐bromo‐3‐hydroxypyridine [C₅H₃N(OH)Br] and 3‐amino‐2‐bromopyridine [C₅H₃N(NH₂)Br] in dichloromethane at ambient temperature cause the oxidative addition reaction to produce the palladium complex [Pd(PPh₃₎₂{η¹‐C₅H₃N(OH)}(Br)], 2 and [Pd(PPh₃₎₂{η¹‐C₅H₃N(NH₂)}(Br)], 3 , by substituting two triphenylphosphine ligands, respectively. In dichloromethane solution of complexes 2 and 3 at ambient temperature for 3 days, it undergo displacement of the triphenylphosphine ligand to form the dipalladium complexes [Pd(PPh₃)Br]₂{μ,η²‐C₅H₃N(OH)}₂, 4 and [Pd(PPh₃)Br]₂{μ,η²‐C₅H₃N(NH₂)}₂, 5 , in which the two 3‐hydroxypyridine and 3‐aminopyridine ligands coordinated through carbon to one metal center and bridging the other metal through nitrogen atom, respectively.

The Analysis of Electronic Structures,NBO, EDA,and QTAIM of trans‐(H3P)2(η2‐BH4 )W(≡C‐para‐C6H4X)(CO) Complexes

In the present research, the impact of substitution on the dipole moment, electronic structure, and frontier orbital energy in trans ‐(H₃P )₂(η²‐BH₄ )W(≡C‐para ‐C₆H₄X )(CO ) complexes (X = H, F, SiH₃ , CN , NO₂ , SiMe₃ , CMe₃ , NH₂ , NMe₂ ) was studied with mpw1pw91 quantum chemical computations. The nature of the chemical bond between the trans‐[Cl(η²‐BH₄ )(H₃P ) ₂W ]⁻ and [C‐para ‐C₆H₄X ]⁺ fragments was demonstrated through energy decomposition analysis (EDA ). The percentage composition in terms of the specified groups of frontier orbitals was examined for these complexes to investigate the feature in metal–ligand bonds. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM ) and natural bond orbital (NBO ) analysis were applied to elucidate these complexes’ metal–ligand bonds.     

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐dien‐ und 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl‐Komplexe des Rhodiums und Iridiums

2, 4‐Dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene and 2, 4‐Dimethylpentadienyl Complexes of Rhodium and Iridium The complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)RhCl]₂ ( 1 ) (C₇H₁₂ = 2, 4‐dimethylpenta‐1, 3‐diene) and [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)₂IrCl] ( 2 ) were obtained by interaction of C₇H₁₂ with [(η²‐C₂H₄)₂RhCl]₂ and [(η²‐cyclooctene)₂IrCl]₂, respectively. The reaction of 1 or 2 with CpTl (Cp = η⁵‐C₅H₅) yields the compounds [CpM(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)] ( 3a : M = Rh; 3b : M = Ir). The hydride abstraction at the pentadiene ligand of 3a , b with Ph₃CBF₄ proceeds differently depending on the solvent. In acetone or THF the “half‐open” metallocenium complexes [CpM(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)]BF₄ ( 4a : M = Rh; 4b : M = Ir) are obtained exclusively. In dichloromethane mixtures are produced which additionally contain the species [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)M(η⁵‐C₅H₄CPh₃)]BF₄ ( 5a : M = Rh; 5b : M = Ir) formed by electrophilic substitution at the Cp ring, as well as the η³‐2, 4‐dimethylpentenyl compound [(η³‐C₇H₁₃)Rh{η⁵‐C₅H₃(CPh₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 6 ). By interaction of 2, 4‐dimethylpentadienyl potassium with 1 or 2 the complexes [(η⁴‐C₇H₁₂)M(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)] ( 7a : M = Rh; 7b : M = Ir) are generated which show dynamic behaviour in solution; however, attempts to synthesize the “open” metallocenium cations [(η⁵‐C₇H₁₁)₂M]⁺ by hydride abstraction from 7a , b failed. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopically, 4b and 5a also by X‐ray structure analysis.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Lewis Acid‐Base Adduct AlCl₃·C₃N₃Cl₃ The reaction between cyanuric chloride (C₃N₃Cl₃) and the strong Lewis acid AlCl₃ yielded colorless crystals of the adduct AlCl₃·C₃N₃Cl₃. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction at room temperature and was solved in the space group with Z = 4, a = 7.3802(7) Å, b = 9.688(1) Å, c = 16.272(2) Å, α = 72.80(1)°, β = 89.97(1)°, γ = 87.23(1)°, and V = 1110.0(2) ų. In the crystal structure, AlCl₃ is closely associated to the triazine ring with Al–N distances of 2.042(3) Å and 2.067(4) Å, respectively. The AlCl₃·C₃N₃Cl₃ units are connected with each other via intermolecular N···Cl donor–acceptor interactions, forming tape‐like arrangements in the ac‐plane, with tapes running parallel to the a‐axis.     

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.
