Diazabutadienes as ligands: I. Compounds of aluminium: coordination of diazabutadienes to Al(CH3)3 and subsequent intramolecular insertion and rearrangement reactions leading to (CH3)2AIR—N—CH(CH3)—C(R')=N—R(R'= H,CH3) and (CH3)2AIR—N—CH2—C(CH3)=N—R

Reaction of R—N=CH—CH=N—R with [(CH₃)₃Al]₂ affords the coordination product (CH₃)₃AlRN=CH—CH=NR (A) for R = 2,6-(CH₃)₂C₆H₃ and 2,4,6(CH₃)₃C₆H₂. For R = 4 ClC₆H₄, 4-CH₃C₆H₄ and 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, insertion takes place, giving the complexes (CH₃)₂A$\text{lRN—CH(CH}{}_3\text{)—CH=N}$—R (B), in which Al is part of a five-membered chelate ring. Depending on the temperature both the addition and insertion products rearrange intramolecularly to the complexes (CH₃)₂-A$\text{lR—N—CH}{}_2\text{—C(CH}{}_3\text{)=N}$—R (C), in which Al is also part of a five-membered chelate ring. Reactions of the asymmetric (CH₃)₂HC—N=CH—C(CH₃)=N—CH-(CH₃)₂ with [Al(CH₃)₃]₂ also leads to an insertion product, (CH₃)₂A$\text{lRN-—CH(CH}{}_3\text{)—C(CH}{}_3\text{)=N}$—R (B') (R = (CH₃)₂CH), but there is no subsequent rearrangement in this case.A mechanism involving hydrogen migration is tentatively proposed to account for the observed isomerization, which increases in rate in the order:R = (CH₃)₃C>2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂> 2,6-(CH₃)2C₆H₃ (A → C)andR = 4-CH₃OC₆H₄>4-CH₃C₆H₄>4-ClC₆H₄ (B → C)Hydrolysis of isomer C gives the unknown imino amines R—NH—CH₂-C(CH₃)=N—R in quantitative yield.     

Synthesis of homoleptic tris(organo-chelate)iridium(III) complexes by spontaneous ortho-metallation of electronrich olefin-derived N,N′-diarylcarbene ligands and the X-ray structures of fac-[Ir{CN(C6H4Me-p) (CH2)2NC6H3Me-p}3] and mer-Ir{CN(C6H4Me-p)(CH2)2NC6H3Me-p}2 {CN(C6H4Me-p)(CH2)2NC6H4Me-p}Cl (a product of HCl cleavage)

Treatment of [{Ir(COD)(μ-Cl)}₂] with excess of the electron-rich olefin [$\text{CN(Ar)(CH}{}_2\text{)}{}_2\text{N}$Ar]₂ (abbreviated as (L^Ar)₂, Ar = C₆H₄Me-p or C₆H₄OMe-p) affords the ortho-metallated tricycle [$\text{Ir(L}{}^{\mathrm{A}}\text{r}$)₃], which for Ar = C₆H₄Me-p (Ia) with HCL yields [$\text{Ir(L}{}^{\mathrm{A}}\text{r}$)₂(L^Ar)]Cl (IV); X-ray data show that in IV there is an unexpectedly close Ir?C(o-aryl) contact (2;52(1) Å) involving the “free” L^Ar which compares with an IrC(o-aryl) distance of 2.09(3) Å in Ia or 2.07(3) Å in the ortho-metallated L^Ar ligand of complex IV.     

Organotellurium cations: Organotellurium perchlorates and their complexes with Lewis bases

Solutions of diorganotellurium(IV) diperchlorates R₂Te(ClO₄)₂ (where R = Ph, p-CH₃OC₆H₄, R₂Te = $\text{C}{}_4\text{H}{}_8\text{Te}$) may be prepared by the reaction of R₂TeCl₂ and AgClO₄ or by the reaction of diorganyltelluroxide with excess of 70% HClO₄.IR and conductivity data indicate that Ph₂Te(ClO₄)₂ possesses covalently bonded perchlorate groups in solution. Interaction of the freshly prepared solutions with Lewis bases affords cationic complexes of the types [R₂Te(ClO₄)(L)][ClO₄] and [R₂Te(L)₂][ClO₄]₂ which have been characterised by IR elemental analyses and conductivity measurements.     

Formation of an iridium σ-cyclopropane complex by the intramolecular activation of a cyclopropylphosphine: Rearrangement to a chelating σ-vinyl complex

When (t-Bu)₂PCH₂CHCH₂CH₂ is combined with [IrCl(C₈H₁₄)₂]₂ in toluene, the σ-bound cyclopropane complexes

(P(t-Bu)₂CH₂$\text{CHCH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂) (1a, 1b) are formed. Complexes 1a,1b react readily with H₂ to form IrClH₂P(t-Bu)₂CH₂$\text{CHCH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂)₂ (2). In polar solvents 1a,1b isomerize to the σ-vinyl chelated complex $\text{IrClH(P(t-Bu)}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C(CH}{}_3\text{)C}$H)(P(t-Bu)₂CH₂$\text{CHCH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂) (3). The structure of this 5-coordinate, 16-electron Ir^III complex was deduced from spectroscopic data, reaction chemistry, and from the crystal structure of its CO adduct (4). Compound 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C_2h⁵-P2₁/n (a 15.610(14), b 15.763(16), c 11.973(13) Å, and β 104.74(5)°) with 4 molecules per unit cell. The final agreement indices for 2326 reflections having F_o² > 3σ(F_o²) are R(F) = 0.089 and R_w(F) = 0.095 (271 variables) while R(F²) is 0.148 for the 3423 unique data. Bond lengths in the 5-atom chelate ring $\text{IrPCCC}$ are IrP 2.341(4), PC 1.857(26), CC 1.520(30), CC 1.341(25), and CIr 1.994(21) Å. The IrCl distance is 2.479(5) Å.     

Cyclometallation reactions of N-(benzylidene)benzylamines with palladium compounds

The cyclometallation of p-RC₆H₄CHNCH₂C₆H₂, (R = H, Cl, NO₂) by PdX₂ (X = Cl, AcO) has been studied.In every case the cyclometallation occurs with formation of a five-membered ring containing the methine group. The structure of these compounds [$\text{PdX(}\text{p}\text{-RC}{}_6\text{H}{}_3\text{CHN}$CH₂C₆H₅)]₂, derived from ¹H NMR spectra, are different from those reported previously. Reaction of these compounds with PEt₃ gives the compounds [PdX(p-RC₆H₃CHNCH₂C₆H₅)(PEt₃)₂] but with an excess of PPh₃ only the complexes [$\text{PdX(}\text{p}\text{-RC}{}_6\text{H}{}_3\text{CHN}$CH₂C₆H₅)(PPh₃)] are formed.     

Reactions of palladium(II) cyclometallated benzylideneaniline Schiff's bases. Some relative rates for the synthesis of ortho-substituted carbomethoxy derivatives via CO insertion

The synthesis and characterisation of the complexes [(p-CH₃C₆H₄NCH($\text{C}{}_6\text{H}{}_3\text{Y))P}$d(OAc)]₂ (II) are reported. These complexes react at very different rates with carbon monoxide in methanol to give the ortho-substituted esters, p-CH₃C₆H₄NCHC₆H₃Y - 2R, R = CO₂CH₃, with electron withdrawing Y substituents slowing the reaction. The ¹³C{¹H} data for II show a linear correlation of δ(C(2)) in the 5′-complexes (Y trans to PdC) with δ(C(4)) of monosubstituted benzene compounds. For Y = 5′-NO₂, 4′-NO₂ and 4′-Cl, the bis complex [{p-CH₃C₆H₄NCH(

is formed in a secondary reaction.     

Cyclometallation reactions XII. On the effect of various leaving groups on internal metallation reactions with alkylmanganese complexes

The interaction of azobenzene and MnR(CO)₅ (R  Me, Et, CH₂Ph, CH₂-C₆Me₅, COCF₃, COCH₂C₆F₅, COCH₂OPh, Ph or C₆F₅) affords M$\text{n(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{NN}$Ph)-(CO)₄, together with a binuclear complex Mn₂(CO)₆(C₁₂H₁₀N₂) in some cases. The metallation reaction is shown to proceed most readily with Mn-(CH₂Ph)(CO)₅; with this reagent, the metallated complexes M$\text{n(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{CH}{}_2\text{P}$Me₂)-(CO)₃[PMe₂(CH₂Ph)] (two isomers) and M$\text{n(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{CH}{}_2\text{A}$sMe₂(CO)₄ have been obtained on treatment with EMe₂(CH₂Ph) (E  P and As, respectively).     

Some bridged η:η-dicyclopentadienyltitanium pyrazolone complexes: Syntheses and structural elucidation

Complexes of the types (C₅H₅)₂TiClL, (C₅H₅)TiClL₂ and [(C₅H₄)TiL₂]₂ (L is a monofunctional bidentate ligand) have been made by reactions of titanocene dichioride with the substituted pyrazolones, RCO$\text{C:C(OH)N(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)N:C}$CH₃ (where R = CH₃, C₂H₆, C₆H₅ and p-ClC₆H₄) in the presence of triethylamine in refluxing THF. A possible mechanism for the formation of [(C₅H₄)TiL₂]₂ is suggested.     

Reactions and properties of some trimethyleneplatinum(IV) complexes: V. The kinetics and mechanism of formation from arylcyclopropanes

The kinetics of the reaction of arylcyclopropanes (4-XC₆H₄C₃H₅, X = H, Me, EtO) with either [Pt₂Cl₂(μ-Cl)₂(C₂H₄)₂] or [{$\text{PtCl}{}_2\text{(CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂)} in tetrahydrofuran to give in each case [{$\text{PtCl}{}_2\text{(CHArCH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂)}₄] and ethylene or cyclopropane, respectively, have been studied. The reactions are essentially first order in both arylcyclopropane and platinum complexes. The order of reactivity follows the series X = EtO > > Me > H, and [Pt₂Cl₂(μ-Cl)₂(C₂H₄)₂]> [{$\text{PtCl}{}_2\text{(CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂)}4] and the rate is accelerated in polar solvents. Mechanisms in which the arylcyclopropane first coordinates to platinum and then undergoes ring opening reactions are proposed.     

Die thermische reaktion von C5H5(CO)2FeNa mit benzimidchloriden C6H5(Cl)CNR

η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeNa reacts with the benzimide chlorides C₆H₅(Cl)CNR (R  CH(CH₃)₂, C₆H₅) in boiling THF to give the η¹-iminoacyl complexes η⁵-C₅H₅ (CO)₂Fe[η¹-C(C₆H₅)NR]. Alternatively, the new Fe complexes [η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)Fe$\text{C(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)N(CH}{}_3\text{)C(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)N}$CH₃PF₆ (IV) and [η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeC(C₆H₅)N(CH₃)C(C₆H₅)NCH₃]PF₆ (V) are formed under the same conditions, if R  CH₃. Hudrolysis of the CN single bond of the ligand in V, not stabilized by a chelate effects as in IV, results in the formation of [η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeC(C₆H₅)NHCH₃]PF₆ (VII). Reaction of η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂ with N-benyzylbenzimido chloride yields η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeCH₂C₆H₅ as the only isolated product.     

A novel synthesis of carbene complexes of manganese and molybdenum containing the trichlorogermyl group

A number of carbene complexes of formulas Cl₃GeMn(CO)₄C(OR′)R and C₅H₅Mo(CO)₂(GeCl₃)C(OR′)CH₃ (R = CH₃, C₆H₅; R′ = CH₃, C₂H₅) have been prepared by the reaction of [N(C₂H₅)₄]GeCl₃ with CH₃Mn(CO)₅, C₆H₅Mn(CO)₅, or C₅H₅Mo(CO)₃CH₃ followed by alkylation of the resulting trichlorogermylacylcarbonylmetallate ion. The compound C₅H₅Mo(CO)₂(GeCl₃)$\text{COCH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂ has been prepared directly by the reaction of [N(C₂H₅)₄]GeCl₃ with C₅H₅Mo(CO)₃(CH₂)₃Br.     

Cyclopentadienyl-ruthenium and -osmium chemistry: XXIV. Some complexes containing the olefinic tertiary phosphine 2-CH2CHC6H4PPh2 (sp): X-ray structures of one isomer of OsBr(sp)(η-C5H5), and of Ru(η3-S2CCHMeC6H4PPh2-2)(η-C5H5), containing an η3-dithiocarboxylato group

Reactions between MX(PPh₃)₂(η-C₅H₅) (M = Ru, X = Cl; M = Os, X = Br) and 2-CH₂CHC₆H₄PPh₂ afford $\text{MX(η}{}^2\text{-CH}{}_2\text{CHC}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{P}$Ph₂)(η-C₅H₅); the Os complex is obtained in two isomeric forms. The X-ray structure of the major isomer shows the CC double bond (OsC, 2.214, 2.195 Å; CC, 1.57 Å) is almost coplanar with the OsBr vector, with the terminal C cis to Br; the minor isomer is assumed to have the alternative, more sterically congested conformation, with the β-C cis to Br. The chlororuthenium complex reacts with NaOMe/MeOH to give the corresponding hydrido complex, which also exists as two isomers in solution; reaction of this complex with CS₂ gives the expected dithio acid derivative $\text{Ru(S}{}_2\text{CCHMeC}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{P}$Ph₂)(η-C₅H₅), together with small amounts of a complex assumed to be $\text{Ru[S}{}_2\text{C(CH}{}_2\text{)}{}_2\text{C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{P}$Ph₂](η-C₅H₅). The X-ray structure of the major product reveals an unusual η³-S₂C mode of coordination of the dithio acid fragment (RuS, 2.418, 2.426(1) Å; RuC 2.175(4) Å). Crystals of OsBr(η²-CH₂CHC₆H₄P)Ph₂)( η-C₅H₅) are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with a 12.696(2), b 21.719(6), c 15.929(3) Å, β 79.77(2)°, Z = 8; 2867 data (I > 2.5σ(I)) were refined to R = 0.040, R_w = 0.044. Crystals of $\text{Ru(η}{}^3\text{-S}{}_2\text{CCHMeC}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{P}$Ph₂)(η-C₅H₅) are orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with a 8.921(2), b 15.982(9), c 32.216(5) Å, Z = 8; 1685 data (I > 2.5σ(I)) were refined to R = 0.027, R_w = 0.030.     

Unusual route to and rearrangement of four-membered ring complexes C5H5Fe (CO) [ (C6H5)2PN(R)CH (C6H5) ]

The amine substituted phosphines (C₆H₅)₂PN(H)CH₂CH₃ and (C₆H₅)₂PN(H)CH₂C₆H₅ react with C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂CH(C₆H₅) (OCH₃) photolytically to give moderate yields of the four-membered chelate ring complexes C₅H₅$\text{Fe (CO) [(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)}{}_2\text{PN (CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_3\text{) C}$H (C₆H₅)] and C₅H₅$\text{Fe (CO) [(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)}{}_2\text{PN (CH}{}_2\text{C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)C}$H(C₆H₅)], respectively. Photolysis of C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂CH(C₆H₅) (OCH₃) in the presence of (S)-(?)-diphenyl(1-phenylethylamino)phosphine leads to the isolation of C₅H₅Fe(CO)[(C₆H₅)2PNC(CH₃) (C₆H₅)]CH₂C₆H₅ which is proposed to arise from a formally 1,3-hydrogen shift rearrangement of an intermediate four-membered chelate ring complex.     

The photodecomposition of platinacycloalkanes in solution: II. 1,4-butanediylplatinum(II) and (IV) compounds

The products of the photolysis of a number of platinacyclopentanes in solution at 25°C under a variety of conditions have been determined. With [I₂P$\text{tCH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂(L₂)] (L = PMe₂Ph, PPh₃) in CH₂Cl₂, CH₂Br₂ and (CH₃)₂SO the hydrocarbon products are exclusively ethylene and but-1-ene. Formation of the latter through a 1,3-hydrogen shift is preceded by phosphine ligand dissociation. The photolysis of [ICH₃P$\text{tCH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂(L₂)] gave methane, ethylene, but-1-ene and n-pentane together with a little n-butane, the methane being formed from internal hydrogen abstraction by the CH₃ group in the excited reactant molecule. Photodecomposition of the platinum(II) compounds [P$\text{tCH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂(L₂)] (L = (PMe₂Ph)₂, (PPh₃)₂, Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) gave ethylene, but-1-ene, pent-1-ene (with the halogenated solvents) and with some systems appreciable yields of n-butane, the latter being the results of internal abstraction of two hydrogen atoms by the C₄H₈ moiety. The formation of pentene is probably preceeded by the addition of CH₂Cl₂ or CH₂Br₂ to the excited reactant molecule. Addition of diphenylphosphine promotes the production of n-butane.     

Darstellung und eigenschaften von und reaktionen mit metallhaltigen heterocyclen: V. Synthese,reaktionen und struktur neuartiger manganacycloalkane

The colourless, six- and seven-membered manganacycloalkanes (OC)₄$\text{MnPR}{}_2\text{OCH}{}_2\text{XC}$H₂ are obtained by reaction of Na₂[(OC)₄MnPR₂O] with the bis(triflate)alkanes (YCH₂)₂X (R = C₆H₅; X = CH₂, C(CH₃)₂, CH₂CH₂; Y = CF₃SO₃). CO or SO₂ can be inserted into the reactive MnC-σ bonds under ring expansion. Some characteristic IR and ¹H NMR data are discussed. (OC)₄$\text{MnPR}{}_2\text{OCH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂ crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P2₁/c with Z = 4.     

Synthesis of monohydridohexamethylbenzeneruthenium(II) complexes containing group V donor ligands. Isomerism arising from cyclometallation of a tertiary phosphine at aliphatic and aromatic carbon atoms

The η-hexamethylbenzenehydridoruthenium(II) complexes RuHCl(η-C₆Me₆)L (L = PPh₃ (11), AsPh₃ (12), P(C₆H₄-p-F)₃ (14), P(C₆H₄-p-Me)₃ (15), P(C₆H₄-p-OMe)₃ (16), P-t-BuPh₂ (17), P-i-PrPh₂ (18), P-i-Pr₃ (19), PCy₃ (20) and P-t-BuMe₂ (21)) have been made by heating [RuCl₂(η-C₆Me₆)]₂, the ligand and sodium carbonate in propan-2-ol. The triarylphosphine complexes 11, 14 and 15 react with methyllithium to give aryl ortho-metallated hydridoruthenium(II) complexes such as $\text{RuH(}\text{o}\text{-C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{P}$Ph₂)(η-C₆Me₆) (22) and 19 similarly gives the isopropyl cyclometallated complex $\text{RuH(CH}{}_2\text{CHMeP}$-i-Pr₂(η-C₆Me₆) (29) as a mixture of diastereomers. Reaction of 17 with methyllithium gives initially the t-butyl cyclometallated complex $\text{RuH(CH}{}_2\text{CMe}{}_2\text{P}$Ph₂)(η-C₆Me₆) (25) which isomerizes by a first order process (k$\text{0}\text{?}$.2 h^?1 in C₆D₆ or THF-d₈ at 50°C) to the aryl ortho-metallated complex $\text{RuH(}\text{o}\text{-C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{P}$-t-BuPh)(η-C₆Me₆) (26). The similarly generated isopropyl cyclometallated complex $\text{RuH(CH}{}_2\text{CHMeP}$Ph₂)(η-C₆Me₆) (27) has not been isolated in a pure state owing to rapid isomerization to $\text{RuH(}\text{o}\text{-C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{P}$-i-PrPh)(η-C₆Me₆) (28); both 27 and 28 exist as a pair of diastereomers. The formation of the cyclometallated complexes and the isomerizations are thought to involve intermediate 16-electron ruthenium(O) complexes Ru(η-C₆Me₆)L.     

Metallorganische verbindungen des iridiums und rhodiums: XXVI. CH-metallierung und hydridbildung im system Ir2Cl2(C8H14)4/PR3(PR3 = P(CH2CMe3)3, t-BuP(CH2CMe3)2, t-Bu2PCH2CMe3; i-Pr3P

Treatment of Ir₂Cl₂(C₈H₁₄)₄ with the phosphines t-Bu_3?nP(CH₂CMe₃)_n (n = 3,2,1) in hot toluene followed by crystallization of the products from C₇H₈/ EtOH mixtures gave the cyclometallated hydrides (C₈H₁₄)₂Ir-μ-Cl₂$\text{IrH[CH}{}_2\text{CMe}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{P}$(CH₂CMe₃)₂][P(CH₂ (I) [t-BuP(CH₂CMe₃)₂]₂H₂Ir-μ-Cl₂$\text{IrH[CH}{}_2\text{CMe}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{P}$Bu^t(CH₂CMe₃)][t-BuP(CH₂CMe₃)₂] (II), and [(t-Bu₂$\text{PCH}{}_2\text{CMe}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{)HI}$rCl]₂ (III). The dihydrides IrH₂Cl[t-BuP(CH₂CMe₃)₂]₂ (IIa) and IrH₂Cl(t-Bu₂PCH₂CMe₃)₂ (IIIa) were also isolated; these species were, however, more conveniently obtained by bubbling hydrogen through the solution of Ir₂Cl₂ (C₈H₁₄)₄ and the respective phosphine in toluene. i-Pr₃ reacted with the olefiniridium(I) precursor in C₇H₈/EtOH to yield the carbonyl complexes (i-Pr₃P)₂H₂Ir-μ-Cl₂Ir(CO)(PPrⁱ₃)₂ (IV) and IrCl(CO)(PPⁱ₃)₂ (IVa), no cyclometallated product being detected. The stereochemistries of the complexes were deduced from IR, ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR data. The crystal structures of IIIa and IVa were also determined.     

Reactions and properties of some trimethyleneplatinum(IV) complexes: X. Reaction with iodide and thiocyanate ions

The reaction between the platinacyclobutanes [$\text{PtX}{}_2\text{(CH}{}_2\text{CRR′C}$H₂)L₂] (X  Cl, Br; L  C₅H₅N, 4-CH₃C₅H₄N; R, R′  H, CH₃; R  H, R′  CH₃, C₆H₅) and iodide and thiocyanate ions in methyl cyanide solution has been studied. The C₃ moiety is eliminated as the cyclopropane and the process is first order with respect to the platinacyclobutanes and zero to half order with respect to the salt (MY). With the iodides the rate increases in the order Li < Na < K, Et₄N, and methyl substitution in the cyclobutane ring reduces the rate of reaction with Et₄NI. Added pyridine retards the reaction when L  C₅H₅N (X  Cl; R, R′  H) and added dimethylsulphoxide accelerates it.The mechanism suggested involves dissociation of an L ligand and attack of Y^? ions and of M⁺Y^? ion pairs on the five-coordinate intermediate formed.     

Mutual solubility of n-butanol + water under high pressures

The mutual solubilities of {xCH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH+(1-x)H₂O} have been determined over the temperature range 302.95 to 397.75 K at pressures up to 2450 atm. An increase in temperature and pressure results in a contraction of the immiscibility region. The results obtained for the critical solution properties are: T_o(U.C.S.T.) = 397.85 K and x_o = 0.110 at 1 atm; $\text{(}\text{dT}{}_{\mathrm{o}}\text{d}\text{p}\text{) = ?(12.0±0.5)×10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}\text{K atm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ at p < 400 atm and $\text{(}\text{dT}{}_{\mathrm{o}}\text{d}\text{p}\text{) = ?(7.0±0.7)×10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}\text{K atm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ at 800 atm < p < 2500 atm; $\text{(}\text{dx}{}_{\mathrm{o}}\text{d}\text{T}\text{) = ?(4.0±0.5)×10}{}^{\mathrm{?4}}\text{K}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$.     

Darstellung und eigenschaften von und reaktionen mit metallhaltigen heterocyclen XX. Darstellung,eigenschaften und kristallstruktur von λ4-thia-λ5-phospha-h2-metallabicyclo[2.2.1]heptadienen und ihre verwendung zur synthese von metallorganischen und organischen verbindungen

The novel λ⁴-thia-λ⁵-phospha-h²-manganabicyclo[2.2.1]heptadienes (OC)₃Mn[$\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{PR}{}^1{}_2\text{S}$] (R¹ = CH₃, C₆H₅; R² = CO₂CH₃, CO₂C₂H₅, CO₂C₆H₁₁) are formed by action of the activated alkynes R²C  CR² on the heterocycles [(OC)₄MnPR¹₂S]₂ via the isolable, five-membered heterometallacyclopentadienes (OC)₄$\text{MnSPR}{}^1{}_2\text{C(R}{}^2\text{)C}$(R²). The compound with R¹ = CH₃ and R² = CO₂CH₃ crystallizes in the triclinic space group P$\text{1}$ with Z = 2 and separates quantitatively the thiophene derivative $\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{S}$ under CO pressure or by reaction with (NH₄)₂Ce(NO₃)₆. The use of various acetylenes and of acetylenes with different alkyl groups yields the unsymmetric substituted manganabicycloheptadienes (OC)₃Mn[$\text{CR}{}^4\text{CR}{}^3\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{P(CH}{}_3\text{)}{}_2\text{S}$] (R² = CO₂CH₃, R³ = R⁴ = CO₂C₂H₅; R² = R⁴ = CO₂CH₃, R³ = H). With propionic acid methylester the alkyne insertion proceeds regiospecifically. With Raney nickel selective S elimination under ring contraction and formation of the λ⁴-phospha-h²-manganabicyclo[2.1.1]hexenes (OC)₃Mn[$\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^3\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{P}$R¹₂] (R¹ = CH₃: R² = R³ = CO₂CH₃, CO₂C₂H₅; R² = CO₂CH₃, R³ = H; R¹ = C₆H₅: R² = R³ = CO₂C₂H₅) occurs. (OC)₃Mn[$\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^3\text{CR}{}^2\text{CR}{}^2\text{P}$(CH₃)₂] (R² = R³ = CO₂CH₃) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/m with Z = 2. The IR and NMR spectra of the heterocycles are discussed in detail.
