Synthesis and electrochemistry of Group 6 tetracarbonyl (N,N′-bis(ferrocenylmethylene)ethylenediamine)metal(0) complexes

Thermal substitution reaction of Cr(CO)₄(η^2:2-1,5-cyclooctadiene), Mo(CO)₄(η^2:2-norbornadiene), and W(CO)₅(η²-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne) with N,N′-bis(ferrocenylmethylene)ethylenediamine (bfeda) yields M(CO)₄(bfeda) complexes which could be isolated from the reaction solution and characterized by elemental analysis, MS, IR, and NMR spectroscopy. In the case of tungsten, W(CO)₅(bfeda) is formed as intermediate and then undergoes the ring closure reaction yielding the ultimate product W(CO)₄(bfeda). The electrochemical behavior of the M(CO)₄(bfeda) complexes was studied by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) in dichloromethane with tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate as electrolyte. Constant potential electrolysis of the complexes was performed successively at their peak potentials at 0 °C in their CH₂Cl₂ solution and the electrolysis was followed by in situ recording the electronic absorption spectra in every 5 mC. In the electrolysis of Cr(CO)₄(bfeda), the central Cr(0) is oxidized first and electrolysis continues with oxidations of two ferrocenyl groups until the end of totally three moles of electron passage per mole of complex. In the electrolysis of Mo(CO)₄(bfeda) and W(CO)₄(bfeda) the first oxidation occurs on the central atom forming a short-lived species which undergoes an intramolecular one-electron transfer and is reduced back to M(0) while one of the ferrocene units is oxidized to the ferrocenium cation at the same time. This indicates that the electron is transferred from iron to the central metal atom.     

Molybdenum(VI)-complexes with chiral N,O-ligands derived from carbohydrates: synthesis, structure and catalytic properties in asymmetric olefin epoxidation

Novel chiral 2′-pyridinyl alcohols derived from isopropylidene-protected carbohydrates are reported. They show different characteristics at the hydroxy group, but are all suitable ligands for chiral molybdenum(VI) complexes of the type MoO₂L₂ (L = chiral 2′-pyridinyl alcoholate). MoO₂(acac)₂ served as starting material in the complex syntheses. The structure of one ligand and one dioxo complex were exemplary established by X-ray crystallography. For catalytic runs in the enantioselective epoxidation catalysis trans-methylstyrene was used as model substrate, tert-butylhydroperoxide and cumolhydroperoxide, resp., as the oxidant.     

Dithiolene transfer from nickel to a dimolybdenum centre: the first dithiolene alkyne complex

Transfer of dithiolene ligands from [Ni(S₂C₂Ph₂)₂] to the dimolybdenum complex [Mo₂(μ-C₂R₂)(CO)₄Cp₂] (R=CO₂Me, Cp=η-C₅H₅) affords the first example of a dithiolene alkyne complex, [Mo₂(μ-C₂R₂)(μ-S₂C₂Ph₂)₂Cp₂], together with [Mo₂(μ-SCRCR)(μ-SCPhCPh)Cp₂] in which sulfur transfer from dithiolene to alkyne has occurred.     

Carbometallate: Komplexe Anionenverbände [MoC4/26—] in der Kristallstruktur von Pr[MoIIC2]

Carbometalates: Complex Anions equation/tex2gif-stack-4.gif [MoC_4/2^6—] in the Crystal Structure of Pr equation/tex2gif-stack-5.gif [Mo^IIC₂] Criteria for the existence of carbometalates are established and discussed in a broader context. The concept is then applied to the novel compound Pr₂[MoC₂], which is characterized by chemical analyses, X‐ray diffraction and metallography. The crystal structure (tetragonal, P4₂/mnm, Z = 4, a = 581.29(8) pm, c = 1032.53(14) pm) consists of layered polyanions equation/tex2gif-stack-6.gif[MoC_4/2^6—] of distorted vertex and edge sharing MoC₄ tetrahedra. Praseodymium is also in a distorted tetrahedral coordination by carbon. The physical properties show “bad metal” behaviour and localized magnetic 4f‐moments in agreement with the existence of Pr³⁺‐species. A detailed bonding analysis using both the electron localization function ELF and the COHP method justifies the interpretation of the title compound as a carbomolybdate(II).

Relationship between the molybdenum phases and the conversion of n-butane over Mo/HZSM-5

The conversion of n-C₄H₁₀ was undertaken on MoO₃/HZSM-5 catalyst at 773–973 K and the phases of molybdenum species were detected by XRD. The XRD results show that bulk MoO₃ on HZSM-5 can be readily reduced by n-C₄H₁₀ to MoO₂ at 773 K and MoO₂ can be gradually carburized to molybdenum carbide above 813 K. The molybdenum carbide formed from the carburization of MoO₂ with n-C₄H₁₀ below 893 K is -MoC_1−x with fcc-structure, while hcp-molybdenum carbide formed above 933 K. During the evolution of MoO₃ to MoO₂ (>773 K) or the carburization of MoO₂ to molybdenum carbide (>813 K), deep oxidation, cracking and coke deposition are serious, in particular at higher reaction temperatures, these lead to the poor selectivity to aromatics. Aromatization of n-C₄H₁₀ can proceed catalytically on both Mo₂C/HZSM-5 and MoO₂/HZSM-5, the distribution of the products for the two catalysts is similar below 813 K, but the activity for Mo₂C/HZSM-5 is much higher than that for MoO₂/HZSM-5.     

Oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol with polymer anchored molybdenyl and vanadyl complexes

The oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol with tert-butylhydroperoxide (Bu^tO₂H) has been studied using polymer (XAD₄) anchored salicylaldoxime, 1,3-propylene-bis-salicylaldimine and o-phenylene-bis-salicylaldimine complexes of molybdenum and vanadium in acetonitrile. The predominant products formed in the oxidation reactions were 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone (BQ) and 3,3′-5,5′-tetra-tert-butyldiphenoquinone (dPQ), whereas with some only 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone was formed. This is the first reported use of polymer anchored molybdenyl and vanadyl complexes in selective oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol. Solvent plays an important role in this reaction. The effects of varying the ligand, metal and the support on the catalytic activity in the oxidation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol have been studied. With polymer anchored MoO₂(salpen), 81% of 2,6-di-tert-butylbenzoquinone was formed from 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol.     

Crystal structure of the Molybdenum(V) Diphosphate KMoP2O8 isotypic with KNbP2O8

A new molybdenum(V) diphosphate KMoP₂O₈ has been isolated. The single crystal X-ray diffraction study of this phase has shown that it is isotypic with KNbP₂O₈. It crystallizes in the P2₁/n space group a = 5.0862(4), b = 11.720(1), c = 11.486(1) Å, β = 90.91(1)°. The structure of this phase is compared with those of other molybdenum(V) diphosphates. This tunnel structure is described in terms of [MP₂O₈]₈∞ ribbons running along ā, showing close relationships with the titanophosphate NaTiP₂O₇. The existence of one free apex for each MoO₆ octahedron and each P₂O₇ group, respectively, is emphasized, allowing a great flexibility of the structure.
