Synthesis and X-ray structures of some mono- and binuclear ruthenium complexes with bisphosphine ligands

Summary The dinuclear complexes {RuCp*(-Cl)}₂(-dppm) (1) and {RuCp*(-Cl)}₂ (-dppe) (3) are obtained by reacting [RuCp*(³-Cl)]₄ withdppm, anddppe, respectively.1 is readily oxidized with AgCF₃SO₃, instead of chloride abstraction, to afford the dinuclear complex [{RuCp*(-Cl)}₂(-dppm)](SO₃CF₃)₂ (2) with two metal centers connected by a single Ru-Ru bond. Under the same conditions,3 decomposes to several intractable materials. Similarly to1, RuCp* (dmpe)Cl reacts with AgCF₃SO₃ to afford the Ru(III) complex [RuCp*(dmpe)Cl](SO₃CF₃) (4) without no halide abstraction. The crystal structures of2,3, and4 are presented.

The catalytic system [(Cp2TiCl)2]:LiAlH4 in aromatic solvents,Part II. Formation of η3-allyltitanocene derivatives in the presence of dienes — their structure and e.s.r. spectra

Summary The addition of dienes to the system [(Cp₂TiCl)₂] LiAlH₄toluene changes the system so that the complex [Cp₂TiAlH₄] is quantitatively formed instead of a titanocene hydride — aluminium hydride cluster. The complex [Cp₂TiAlH₄] is further converted into ³-allyltitanocene derivatives ([Cp₂TiA]) if the diene structure is suitable for formation of stable [Cp₂TiA] compounds and if the equilibrium [Cp₂TiAlH₄]+diene[Cp₂TiA]+A1H₃ is shifted towards the formation of [Cp₂TiA] by the excess of diene. All the compounds [Cp₂TiA] exhibit high-resolution e.s.r. spectra at g=1.993, showing interaction of the unpaired electron with the cyclopentadienyl and ³-allyl protons. The e.s.r. spectra clearly reveal the presence of alkyl substituents atsyn-1,3-positions of ³-allyl ligand, and show a triplet of multiplets for (³-allyl)titanocene, doublets of multiplets for (1-alkyl-³-allyl)titanocenes and single multiplets for (1,3-dialkyl-³-allyl)-titanocenes. thermal isomerization of (1,3-dimethyl-³-allyl)-titanocene and (1-methyl-3-ethyl-³-allyl)titanocene, hitherto considered as the stable Cp₂TiA compounds, into (1-alkyl-³-allyl)titanocenes was confirmed by e.s.r. and electronic absorption spectroscopy as well as by chemical means.

Treatment of (1a), (1b) and (1c) with (Norb)Mo(CO)₄ in PhMe gave the bimetallic complexes: CpMo(NO)(-SePh)₂Mo(CO)₄ (2a), MeCpMo(NO)(-SePh)₂Mo(CO)₄ (2b) and CpW(NO)(-SePh)₂Mo(CO)₄ (2c) in moderate yields.

Ni(COD)₂ reacts with two equivalents of (1a), (1b) and (1c) to give [CpMo(NO)(-SePh)₂]₂Ni (4a), [MeCpMo(NO)(-SePh)₂]₂Ni (4b) and [CpW(NO)(-SePh)₂]₂Ni (4c) in good yields.

Triiron and Triruthenium Carbonyl Clusters Bearing Bridging Long Chain Diphosphine and Capping Chalcogenido Ligands

Treatment of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with dpphSe₂ (dpph = 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane) in refluxing toluene in the presence of Me₃NO afforded two new compounds, Ru₃(CO)₇(-CO)(₃-Se)(-dpph) (1) and Ru₃(CO)₇(₃-Se)₂(-dpph) (2). A similar reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with dpppeSe₂ (dpppe = 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane) gave exclusively Ru₃(CO)₇(₃-Se)₂(-dpppe) (3). Treatment of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with dpphS₂ and dpppeS₂ at 110°C in the presence of Me₃NO afforded Ru₃(CO)₇(₃-S)₂(-dpph) (4) and Ru₃(CO)₇(₃-S)₂(-dpppe) (5), respectively. Reactions of Fe₃(CO)₁₂ with dpphSe₂ and dpppeSe₂, under identical conditions, afforded Fe₃(CO)₇(₃-Se)₂(-dpph) (6) and Fe₃(CO)₇(₃-Se)₂(-dpppe) (7), respectively. Compounds 1–7 were characterized spectroscopically and the molecular structures of compounds 1–4 were determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The core of 1 contains an equilateral triangle of ruthenium atoms with one capping selenium, one bridging dpph, one doubly bridging carbonyl and seven terminal carbonyl ligands. Complexes 2–4 have a square-pyramidal structure with two metal and two chalcogenide atoms alternating in the basal plane and the third metal atom at the apex of the pyramid, and belong to the family of well-known nido clusters with seven skeletal electron pairs.

Diphenylphosphine oxidatively adds to the ReRe bonds of Re₂ X ₄(-dppm)₂ (X=Cl or Br; dppm=Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) and Re₂Cl₄(-dpam)₂ (dpam=Ph₂AsCH₂AsPh₂) to afford the dirhenium(III) complexes Re₂(-X)(-PPh₂)HX ₃(-LL)₂. The dppm complexes have also been prepared from the reactions of Re₂(-O₂CCH₃)X ₄(-dppm)₂ with Ph₂PH, and a similar strategy has been used to prepare Re₂(-Cl)(-PPh₂)HCl₃(-dmpm)₂ (dmpm=Me₂PCH₂PMe₂) from Re₂(-O₂CCH₃)Cl₄(dmpm)₂. Phenylphosphine likewise reacts with Re₂ X ₄(-dppm)₂ to give Re₂(-X)(-PHPh)HX ₃(-dppm)₂. An X-ray crystal structure determination on Re₂(-Cl)(-PPh₂)HCl₃(-dppm)₂ confirms its edge-shared bioctahedral structure. This complex crystallizes in the space group (No. 148) witha=21.699(3) Å, =84.50(4)°,V=10084(5) ų, andZ=6. The structure was refined toR=0.049 (R _w 0.069) for 5770 data withI>3.0(I). The Re-Re distance is 2.5918(7) Å. Oxidation of the bromide complex Re₂(-Br)(-PPh₂)HBr₃(-dppm)₂ with NOPF₆ produces the unusual dirhenium(III, II) cation [Re₂(-H)(-Br)[P(O)Ph₂]Br₂(NO)(-dppm)₂]⁺ which has been structurally characterized as its perrhenate salt, [Re₂(-H)(-Br)[P(O)Ph₂]Br₂(NO)(-dppm)₂]ReO₄ · 2CH₂Cl₂. This complex crystallizes in the space group (No. 2) witha=14.187(7) Å,b=16.419(5) Å,c=16.729(5) Å, =98.76(2)°, =110.11(3)°, =104.66(3)°,V=3414(6) ų,Z=2. The structure was refined toR=0.040 (R _w =0.051) for 5736 data withI>3.0(I). The presence of a phosphorus-bound [P(O)Ph₂]^– ligand, a linear nitrosyl and a bridging hydrido ligand has been confirmed. The Re-Re distance is 2.6273(8) Å.

The complex consists of monomeric PtI₂(1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole)₂ units. The coordination geometry is square-planar. The two 1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole ligands are trans coordinated to platinum.     

Ruthenium clusters containing the [2.2] paracyclophane ligand: Recent developments in arene-cluster chemistry

In this article we review the synthesis, reactivity, and characterization of a number of clusters bearing the [2.2] paracyclophane ligand with nuclearities ranging from two to eight. Particular attention is focused on the different coordination modes that paracyclophane adopts; these being µ₁- ⁶, µ₂- ³ : ³, µ₃- ¹ : ² : ², and µ₃- ² : ² : ². Structural modifications which take place within the ring system on bonding in these various modes are also discussed.

Fluorescent Molecular Sensing System Based on Tri-Pyrenes-Labeled γ-Cyclodextrin at the Hetero Rim

Fluorescent active host labeled at the upper and lower rims of -cyclodextrin, namely, mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X,Y-O-bis-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodextrin (-3) has been synthesized as a chemosensor for steroidal guests using fluorescence spectra change upon a guest addition. The -3 shows monomer and excimer fluorescence, which results in an increase of the intensity of monomer and decrease of excimer fluorescence with a host–guest binding in the cyclodextrin cavity. The extent of monomer and excimer fluorescence variations of -3 was used as an indication for the sensing ability for the guests examined. The guest-induced fluorescence changes were measured for 10^–7 M solutions of -3. The sensing parameters (I_ex/I⁰_ex and I_mon/I⁰_mono) were used to describe the sensing ability of -3. The values of I_ex/I⁰_ex describe that -3 shows less selectivity for guests than that of mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X-O-mono-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodextrin (-2), and the values of I_mon/I⁰_mono show that -3 shows higher sensitivity and selectivity than that of -2.     

Role of metal center in reactions of polynuclear nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii) trimethylacetates with 8-amino-2,4-dimethylquinoline

The reactions of 8-amino-2,4-dimethylquinoline (L) (1) with polynuclear nickel(ii) and cobalt(ii) hydroxotrimethylacetato complexes under anaerobic conditions were studied. The nonanuclear cluster Ni₉(₄-OH)₃(₃-OH)₃(_n-OOCCMe₃)₁₂(HOOCCMe₃)₄ gave the mononuclear complex Ni(²-L)(²-OOCCMe₃)₂ (2). The tetranuclear complex Ni₄(₃-OH)₂(-OOCCMe₃)₄(²-OOCCMe₃)₂(EtOH)₆ produced the mononuclear complex Ni(²-L)(²-OOCCMe₃)(OOCCMe₃)L (3). At room temperature, the cobalt-containing polynuclear trimethylacetates, viz., the polymer [Co(OH) _n (OOCCMe₃)_2–n ] _x and the tetranuclear complex Co₄(₃-OH)₂(-OOCCMe₃)₄(²-OOCCMe₃)₂(EtOH)₆, were transformed into the trinuclear cobalt(ii) complex Co₃(₃-OH)(-OOCCMe₃)₄(²-L)₂(OOCCMe₃) (4). Meanwhile, at 80 °C these compounds generated the binuclear cobalt(iii) complex Co₂(₂²-(HN)C₉NMe₂)₂(-OOCCMe₃)(L)(OOCCMe₃)₃ (5). The structures of the resulting compounds were established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 2—4 exhibit the antiferromagnetic spin-spin exchange coupling, whereas compound 5 is diamagnetic.
