Abstract: | A series of manganese, iron and cobalt complexes bearing sterically demanding 1,3-disubstituted indenyl ligands, 1,3-(Me(3)C)(2)C(9)H(5) (Ind(tBu)) (1) and 1,3-(C(6)H(11))(2)C(9)H(5) (Ind(cHexyl)) (2), has been prepared. These complexes have been fully characterised by various spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction experiments. In addition the electronic and steric properties of these ligands have been evaluated. Although the cone angles and electronic properties are similar to 1,2,4-(Me(3)C)(3)C(5)H(2) (Cp'), indenyl iron half-sandwich complexes are only stable at low temperature. This has been demonstrated for 1-FeI using suitable trapping experiments such as CO or NaCp' addition to yield 1-Fe(CO)(2)I and 1-FeCp', respectively. Overall the metal-ligand bonds in these indenyl compounds are weaker than in the corresponding cyclopentadienyl derivatives. In addition, the bis(indenyl)manganese complexes, 1-Mn and 2-Mn, are high-spin, as established by solid state magnetic susceptibility studies in the temperature range 2-300 K. |
