Abstract: | A comparative synthetic, structural, and thermochemical study on a series of chelate complexes containing the fragment (eta 5-C5Me5)Ir (eta 5-C5Me5)Ir(TsNCH2CH2NTs) (1), (eta 5-C5Me5)Ir(TsNCH2CO2) (2), (eta 5-C5Me5)Ir(CO2CO2) (3)] was performed to clarify the roles of carboxylato and sulfonamido ligands. Whereas 1 and 2 are monomeric in solution and in the solid state, 3 appears to exist as an oligomer or polymer, (3)n, which can be broken up by addition of a ligand L such as a phosphine, CO, or 2-methoxypyridine to form (eta 5-C5Me5)Ir(L)(CO2CO2) (6). The synthesis of (3)n from (eta 5-C5Me5)IrCl(mu-Cl)]2 required the use of silver oxalate in CH3CN, but if other solvents were used, the bridging oxalato complex (eta 5-C5Me5)IrCl(mu-eta 2-eta 2-C2O4)ClIr(eta 5-C5Me5) (7) was obtained and identified by X-ray diffraction. Enthalpies for reaction of THF-soluble monomers 1 and 2 with PMe3 were determined to be -28.7(0.5) and -28.5(0.4) kcal mol-1, respectively. The oligomerization behavior of 3 may be a result of reduced sigma- or pi-donation of carboxylato ligands compared to N-tosylamido ligands, because the values for nu CO in oxalato and bissulfonamido complexes 6-CO and (eta 5-C5Me5)Ir(CO)(TsNCH2CH2NTs) (4-CO) were 2064 and 2042 cm-1, respectively. |
