Studies of the reaction of dimethyltin dichloride with mercaptoacetic acid in the presence of amines and crystal structure of [(n-Pr)3NH][Me2Sn(μ-SCH2COO)Cl]

A series of new five-coordinated ionic organotin(IV) complexes with general formula [Q][Me₂Sn(μ²-SCH₂COO)Cl](Q = diethylammonium, triethylammonium, di-i-propylammonium, tripropylammonium, tri-n-butylammonium, pyrimidium, 3-picolinium, methylphenylammonium, dimethylphenylammonium) were synthesized by the reaction of mercaptoacetic acid with dimethyltin dichloride in the presence of an organic base. These complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopies. The crystal structure of [(n-Pr)₃NH][Me₂Sn(μ²-SCH₂COO)Cl] was determined by X-ray crystallography. The structure consists of an anion part, and a tri-n-propylammonium cation part as a counterion. The tin atom has a distorted cis-tbp geometry with two carbon and one sulfur atoms occupying the equatorial positions and the O atom and Cl atom occupying the axial positions. The organotin anion and its counterion are connected through a hydrogen bond between the N atom in the ammonium and the O atom of the carbonyl group with a N-O length of 2.766 Å.

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 87. 1,2-Di-tert-butyl-3-iso-propyl-cylclotriphosphane, a Stable Mixed-substituted Cyclotriphosphane The first kinetically stable mixed-substituted cyclotriphosphane, 1,2-di-tert-butyl-3-iso-propyl-cyclotriphosphane, (PBu^t)₂(PPrⁱ) ( 1 ), was synthesized by [2+1]-cyclocondensation of K(Bu^t)P–P(Bu^t)K with PrⁱPCl₂ in n-pentane. Mainly (PBu^t)₄ as well as mixed-substituted cyclotetra- and cyclopentaphosphanes are formed as by-products. 1 could be isolated in a pure state by high vacuum distillation and was thoroughly characterized. It forms two diastereomers, the more stable of which with a cis-standing tert-butyl and iso-propyl group can be stored without decomposition under inert conditions at room temperature for several days. Through thermolysis of 1 beside other alkylcyclophosphanes the mixed-substituted cyclotetraphosphanes (PBu^t)₂(PPrⁱ)₂ ( 2 ) and (PBu^t)₃(PPrⁱ) ( 3 ) are formed and their ³¹P NMR parameters are reported.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Sol-Gel Behavior of Dichlorotitanium(IV) (O-Alkyl,O-Cycloalkyl,and O-Aryl Trithiophosphates)

Dichlorotitanium(IV) trithiophosphates of the type TiCl₂[(RO)P(S)S₂] (where R = Me, Et, Prⁿ, Prⁱ, Buⁿ, Bu^s, Buⁱ, Amⁱ, Ph and cyclohexyl) have been synthesized for the first time by the reaction of titanium tetrachloride with potassium trithiophosphates in a 1:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene. Sol-gel chemistry of these titanium(IV) compounds has been studied in dry benzene by treatment with hydrogen sulfide gas. These newly synthesized derivatives have been characterized by elemental analysis (C, H, S, Cl, and Ti), molecular weight measurement, and spectral [IR and multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P)] studies. The bonding mode of trithiophosphate ligands and tentative structure around titanium(IV) are discussed.     

First Copper(I) and Silver(I) Complexes Containing Phosphanylphosphido Ligands

Three new complexes with phosphanylphosphido ligands, [Cu₄{μ₂‐P(SiMe₃)‐PtBu}₄] ( 1 ), [Ag₄{μ₂‐P(SiMe₃)‐PtBu₂}₄] ( 2 ) and [Cu{η¹‐P(SiMe₃)‐PiPr₂}₂]^–[Li(Diglyme)₂]⁺ ( 3 ) were synthesized and structurally characterized by X‐ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Complexes 1 and 2 were obtained in the reactions of lithium derivative of diphosphane tBu₂P‐P(SiMe₃)Li · 2.7THF with CuCl and [iBu₃PAgCl]₄, respectively. The X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed that the complexes 1 and 2 present macrocyclic, tetrameric form with Cu₄P₄ and Ag₄P₄ core. Complex 3 was prepared in the reaction of CuCl with a different derivative of lithiated diphosphane iPr₂P‐P(SiMe₃)Li · 2(Diglyme). Surprisingly, the X‐ray analysis of 3 revealed that in this reaction instead of the tetramer the monomeric form, ionic complex [Cu{η¹‐P(SiMe₃)‐PiPr₂}₂]^–[Li(Diglyme)₂]⁺ was formed.     

Ions with a strong symmetrical H bond in the HCl−BuiOH system by IR spectroscopy data

Ion-molecular interactions in the HCl−BuⁱOH system with different compositions (from neat isobutyl alcohol to 37 mol.% HCl) were studied by Multiple Attenuated Total Reflectance (MATR) IR spectroscopy at 30 °C. Proton disolvates (Buⁱ(H)O…H…O(H)Buⁱ)⁺ with strong symmetrical H bonds are formed upon the addition of HCl to BuⁱOH. At high concentrations of HCl (C ⁰ _HCl>33 mol.%), (Cl…H…Cl)⁻ ions are formed along with (BuⁱOH)₂H⁺. The spectra of positively and negatively charged proton disolvates were compared to those of similar ions in the HCl−PrⁱOH and HCl−MeOH systems. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and spectral studies of diorganotin(IV) dialkyldithiophosphates

Two series of diorganotin(IV) dialkyldithiophosphates, [RR′Sn{SSP(OR″)₂}₂](R = Me or Et; R′= Ph; R″ = Et, Prⁿ, Prⁱ or Buⁿ) and [RR′Sn(Cl){SSP(OR″)₂}] (R = R′= Me, Et or Ph; R″ = Ph; R″ = Et, Prⁱ or Buⁿ) were prepared and characterised by i.r. and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ¹⁹⁹Sn) spectroscopy. The NMR data indicate five and six coordinate geometries for [RR′Sn(Cl){SSP(OR″)₂}] and [RR′Sn{SSP(OR″)₂}₂] complexes, respectively. The chloro complexes showed ²J (PSn) whereas such couplings were not observed in the spectra of [RR′Sn{SSP(OR″)₂}₂].

Crystal Structures, Spectroscopic Analysis, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of ( n ‐Bu₄N)₂[M(ECN)₄] (M = Pd, Pt; E = S, Se) The reaction of (NH₄)₂[PdCl₄] or K₂[PtCl₄] with KSCN or KSeCN in aqueous solutions yields the complex anions [Pd(SCN)₄]^2–, [Pt(SCN)₄]^2– and [Pt(SeCN)₄]^2–, which are converted into (n‐Bu₄N) salts with (n‐Bu₄N)HSO₄. (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SeCN)₄] is formed by treatment of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[PdCl₄] with (n‐Bu₄N)SeCN in acetone. X‐ray structure determinations on single crystals of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SCN)₄] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.088(3), b = 12.481(2), c = 13.574(3) Å, β = 91.494(15)°, Z = 2), (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SeCN)₄] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.171(2), b = 12.644(2), c = 13.560(2) Å, β = 91.430(11)°, Z = 2) and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SeCN)₄] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.167(2), b = 12.641(1), c = 13.563(2) Å, β = 91.516(18)°, Z = 2) reveal, that the compounds crystallize isotypically and the complex anions are centrosymmetric and approximate planar. In the Raman spectra the metal ligand stretching modes of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SCN)₄] ( 1 ) and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SCN)₄] ( 3 ) are observed in the range of 260–303 cm^–1 and of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pd(SeCN)₄] ( 2 ) and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(SeCN)₄] ( 4 ) in the range of 171–195 cm^–1. The IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis using the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination. The valence force constants are f_d(PdS) = 1.17, f_d(PdSe) = 1.17, f_d(PtS) = 1.44 and f_d(PtSe) = 1.42 mdyn/Å. The ⁷⁷Se NMR resonances are 23 for 2 , –3 for 4 and the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR resonances 549 for 3 and 130 ppm for 4 .     

Synthesen und NMR‐Untersuchungen von Salzen mit den neuen Anionen [PtXn(CF3)6‐n]2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F,OH, Cl,CN) und die Kristallstrukturanalyse von K2[(CF3)2F2Pt(μ‐OH)2PtF2(CF3)2]·2H2O

Syntheses and NMR Spectroscopic Ivestigations of Salts containing the Novel Anions [PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n]^2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F, OH, Cl, CN) and Crystal Structure of K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O The first syntheses of trifluoromethyl‐complexes of platinum through fluorination of cyanoplatinates are reported. The fluorination of tetracyanoplatinates(II), K₂[Pt(CN)₄], and hexacyanoplatinates(IV), K₂[Pt(CN)₆], with ClF in anhydrous HF leads after working up of the products to K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O. The structure of the salt is determined by a X‐ray structure analysis, P2₁/c (Nr. 14), a = 11.391(2), b = 11.565(2), c = 13.391(3)Å, β = 90.32(3)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0326 (I > 2σ(I)). The reaction of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₄] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ generates mainly cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₂(CF₃)₄] and fac‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₃(CF₃)₃], but in contrast that of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₆] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ results cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtX₂(CF₃)₄], [Bu₄N]₂[PtX(CF₃)₅] (X = F, Cl) and [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CF₃)₆]. In the products [Bu₄N]₂[PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n] (X = F, Cl, n = 0—3) it is possibel to exchange the fluoro‐ligands into chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands by treatment with (CH₃)₃SiCl und (CH₃)₃SiCN at 50 °C. With continuing warming the trifluoromethyl‐ligands are exchanged by chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands, while as intermediates CF₂Cl and CF₂CN ligands are formed. The identity of the new trifluoromethyl‐platinates is proved by ¹⁹⁵Pt‐ and ¹⁹F‐NMR‐spectroscopy.     

Reactivity of Xantphos-Type Rhodium Complexes Towards SF4: SF3 Versus SF2 Complex Generation

S−F-bond activation of sulfur tetrafluoride at [Rh(Cl)(^tBuxanPOP)] ( 1 ; ^tBuxanPOP=9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis-(di-tert-butylphosphino)-xanthene) led to the formation of the cationic complex [Rh(F)(Cl)(SF₂)(^tBuxanPOP)][SF₅] ( 2 a ) together with trans-[Rh(Cl)(F)₂(^tBuxanPOP)] ( 3 ) and cis-[Rh(Cl)₂(F)(^tBuxanPOP)] ( 4 ) which both could also be obtained by the reaction of SF₅Cl with 1 . In contrast to that, the conversion of SF₄ at the methyl complex [Rh(Me)(^tBuxanPOP)] ( 5 ) gave the isolable and room-temperature stable cationic λ⁴-trifluorosulfanyl complex [Rh(Me)(SF₃)(^tBuxanPOP)][SF₅] ( 6 ). Treatment of 6 with the Lewis acids BF₃ or AsF₅ produced the dicationic difluorosulfanyl complex [Rh(Me)(SF₂)(^tBuxanPOP)][BF₄]₂ ( 8 a ) or [Rh(Me)(SF₂)(^tBuxanPOP)][AsF₆]₂ ( 8 b ), respectively. Refluorination of 8 a was possible with the use of dimethylamine giving [Rh(Me)(SF₃)(^tBuxanPOP)][BF₄] ( 9 ). A reaction of 6 with trichloroisocyanuric acid (TClCA) gave the fluorido complex [Rh(F)(Cl)(SF₂)(^tBuxanPOP)][Cl] ( 2 b ) together with chloromethane and SF₅Cl.     

Hexanuclear Niobium Cluster Complex Anions with Acetato Ligands on Intramolecular Bridging Sites: [Nb6Cli4(OAc)i8Cla6]2– and [Nb6(OAc)i12Cla6]2–

From the reaction of [Nb₆Cl₁₄(H₂O)₄] · 4H₂O with acetic anhydride in the presence of an excess of (nBu₄N)F the novel cluster compounds (nBu₄N)₂[Nb₆Clⁱ₄(OAc)ⁱ₈Cl^a₆] ( 1 ) and (nBu₄N)₂[Nb₆(OAc)ⁱ₁₂Cl^a₆] ( 2 ) (OAc = acetato ligand) are obtained. They are the first examples of hexanuclear niobium cluster compounds with acetato ligands on the inner sites of the metal atom octahedron. The crucial role of the presence of fluoride ions in the synthesis is discussed. Each acetato ligand bridges in a μ₂-η¹-fashion with one O atom an edge of the metal atom octahedron. The monoclinic crystals of 1 consist of discrete (nBu₄N)⁺ cations and [Nb₆Clⁱ₄(OAc)ⁱ₈Cl^a₆]^2– cluster anions. They are oxidized by two electrons with respect to the cluster starting material. Besides the syntheses of 1 and 2 , the structure of 1 and spectral properties of both compounds are reported.

In 1 , the octa-coordinated Tl atom is surrounded by four isoindole-N atoms (N_iso) and four O atoms of the bidental nitrito(O,O′) ligands in a distorted antiprism. The Tl–N_iso distances vary between 2.257(3) and 2.312(3) Å, the Tl–O distances between 2.408(3) and 2.562(3) Å. In 2 , the hexa-coordinated Tl atom ligates four N_iso atoms and two Cl atoms in a typical cis-arrangement. The average Tl–N_iso distance is 2.276 Å, the average Tl–Cl distance is 2.550 Å. In 1 and 2 , the Tl atom is directed out of the centre of the (N_iso)₄ plane (Ct_N) towards the acido ligands (d(Tl–Ct_N) = 1.144(1) Å in 1 , 1.116(2) Å in 2 ), and the phthalocyaninato ligand is concavely distorted. The vertical displacements of the periphereal C atoms amounts up to 0.82 Å. The optical and vibrational spectra as well as the electrochemical properties are discussed.     

Air‐Stable,Well‐Soluble AI2[Nb6Cl18] Cluster Compounds (AI = Organic Cation): A New Route for Preparation,Single‐Crystal Structures,Properties, and ESI‐Mass Spectra

Five niobium cluster compounds of the A^I₂[Nb₆Cl₁₈] type (A^I = organic cation: [nPr₄N]⁺, [nBu₄N]⁺, [BMIm]⁺, [Ph₄P]⁺, and [PPN]⁺) are obtained through treatment of [Nb₆Cl₁₄(H₂O)₄] · 4H₂O with excess of thionyl chloride in the presence of an organic chloride, A^ICl. Single‐crystal structure studies show that the compounds consist of discrete cations and cluster [Nb₆Cl₁₈]^2– anions. The cluster unit of the hydrated cluster starting material is oxidized by two electrons. Powder diffraction studies and NMR spectroscopic measurements show all compounds to crystallize without co‐crystallized solvent molecules. They are air and water stable. The solubility in organic solvents changes to a great extent on changing the type of cation. The ESI‐MS spectra of [nPr₄N]₂[Nb₆Cl₁₈] and [Ph₄P]₂[Nb₆Cl₁₈] show the pseudomolecular peak of the anionic cluster as well as additional signals, which involve simultaneously chloride mass loss and reduction processes.     

Synthetic,spectroscopic, thermal,and structural studies of antimony(III) bis(pyrrolidinedithiocarbamato)alkyldithiocarbonates

An account of the synthesis, spectroscopic, thermal and structural behavior of antimony(III) bis(pyrrolidinedithiocarbamato)alkyldithiocarbonates is presented. The reaction of antimony(III) bis(pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) chloride with potassium organodithiocarbonate in equimolar ratio yielded the corresponding mixed derivatives of the type [(CH₂)₄NCS₂]₂SbS₂COR [where R = Me, Et, Pr ⁿ , Pr ⁱ , Bu ⁿ , and Bu ⁱ ]. These newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by physicochemical [molecular weight determination, melting points, and elemental analysis], spectral [UV, IR, far-IR, NMR (¹H and ¹³C)], thermal [TG, DTA, and FAB⁺ mass], and structural [powder XRD and SEM] studies. Analytical studies leads to purity and structural properties of the synthesized complexes on the other hand powder X-ray diffraction and SEM studies show that multiphase, polycrystalline, and rod-shaped complexes have been formed having nanorange crystallite size and monoclinic crystal system.     

Uranyl(VI) and lanthanum(III) thio-diglycolamides complexes: Synthesis and structural studies involving nitrate complexation

New tri-functional ligands of the type R₂NCOCH₂SCH₂CONR₂ (where R = iso-propyl, n-butyl or iso-butyl) were prepared and characterized. The coordination chemistry of these ligands with uranyl and lanthanum(III) nitrates was studied by using the IR, ¹HNMR and elemental analysis methods. Structures for the compounds [UO₂(NO₃)₂(ⁱPr₂NCOCH₂SCH₂CONⁱPr₂)] [UO₂(NO₃)₂(ⁱBu₂NCOCH₂SCH₂CONⁱBu₂)], [La(NO₃)₃(ⁱPr₂NCOCH₂SCH₂CONⁱPr₂)₂] and [La(NO₃)₃(ⁱBu₂NCOCH₂SCH₂CONⁱBu₂)₂] were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. These structures show that the ligand acts as a bidentate chelating ligand and bonds through both the carbamoyl groups to the uranyl and lanthanum(III) nitrate groups. Solvent extraction studies show that the ligand can extract the uranyl ion from the nitric acid medium but does not show any ability to extract the americium (III) ion.     

Vinyliden-Übergangsmetallkomplexe XXVI. Synthese und struktur kationischer Carbonyl-, Alken-, Vinyliden-, Alkinyl- und Alkin-Rhodiumkomplexe mit der Baueinheit trans-[Rh(PPr3)2]

The complex trans-[Rh(CO)(NH₃)(PiPr₃)₂]PF₆ (2) was prepared from [(η³-C₃H₅)Rh(PⁱPr₃)₂] (1), NH₄PF₆ and CO or from 1 and NH₄PF₆ in presence of an excess of methanol. With an excess of CO, the dicarbonyl and tricarbonyl compounds trans-[Rh(CO)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (3) and [Rh(CO)₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (4) were obtained. Displacement of one CO ligand in 3 by pyridine and acetone led to the formation of trans-[Rh(CO)(py)PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (5a) and trans-[Rh(CO) (O=CMe₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (6), respectively. Treatment of 1 with [pyH]BF₄ and pyridine gave trans-[Rh(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (7); in presence of H₂ the dihydrido complex [RhH₂(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (8) was formed. The reaction of 1 with NH₄PF₆ and ethylene produced trans [Rh(C₂H₄(NH₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆(9) whereas with methylvinylketone and acetophenone the octahedral hydridorhodium(III) complexes [RhH(η²-CH=CHC(=O)CH₃ (NH₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆(11) and [RhH(η2-C₆H₄C(=O)CH₃(NH₃(Pⁱpr₃)₂]PF₆ (13) were obtained. The synthesis of the cationic vinylidenerhodium(I) compounds trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (14–16) and trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃) ₂]PF6 (17–19) was achieved either on treatment of 1 with [pyH]BF₄ or NH₄PF₆ in presence of 1-alkynes or by ethylene displacement from 9 by HCCR. With tert-butylacetylene as substrate, the alkinyl(hydrido)rhodium(III) complex [RhH(CC^tBu)(NH₃)(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃) ₂]PF₆ (20) was isolated which in CH₂Cl₂ solution smoothly reacted to give 19 (R =^tBu). The cationic but-2-yne compound trans-[Rh(MeCCMe)(NH₃)(Pⁱ Pr₃)₂]PF₆ (21) was prepared from 1, NH₄PF₆ and C₂Me₂. The molecular structures of 3 and 14 were determined by X-ray crystallography; in both cases the square-planar coordination around the metal and the trans disposition of the phosphine ligands was confirmed.

Abstract

Der Komplex trans-[Rh(CO)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (2) wurde aus [(η³-C₃H₅)Rh(PⁱPr₃)₂] (1), NH₄PF₆ und CO oder aus 1, NH₄PF₆ und Methanol hergestellt. In Gegenwart von überschüssigem CO wurden die Dicarbonyl- und Tricarbonyl-Verbindungen trans-[Rh(CO)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (3) und [Rh(CO)₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (4) erhalten. Die Verdrängung eines CO-Liganden in 3 durch Pyridin oder Aceton führte zur Bildung von trans-[Rh(CO)(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (5a) bzw. trans-[Rh(CO)(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (6). Bei Einwirkung von [pyH]BF₄ und Pyridin auf 1 entstand trans-[Rh(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (7); in Gegenwart von H₂ bildete sich der Dihydrido-Komplex [RhH₂(py)₂(PⁱPr₃) ₂]BF₄ (8). Die Reaktion von 1 mit NH₄PF₆ und Ethen lieferte trans-[Rh(C₂H₄)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂] PF₆ (9) während mit Methylvinylketon und Acetophenon die oktaedrischen Hydridorhodium(III)-Komplexe [RhH(η²-CH=CHC(=O)CH₃ (NH₃)-(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (11) und [RhH(η-²-C₆H₄C(=O)CH₃(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂)₂]PF₆ (13) erhalten wurden.

NH₄PF₆ auf 1 in Gegenwart von 1-Alkinen oder durch Ethen-Verdrängung aus 9 mit HCCR. Mit tert-Butylacetylen als Reaktionspartner wurde der Alkinyl(hydrido)rhodium(III)-Komplex [RhH(CC^tBu)(NH₃(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (20) isoliert, der in CH₂Cl₂-Lösung sofort zu 19 (R =^tBu) reagiert. Die kationische 2-Butin-Verbindung trans -[Rh(MeCCMe)(NH₃)PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (21) wurde aus 1, NH₄PF₆ und C₂Me₂ hergestellt. Die Strukturen von 3 und 14 wurden kristallographisch bestimmt; in beiden Fa len ließ sich die quadratisch-planare Koordination des Metalls und die trans-Anordnung der Phosphanliganden bestätigen.

The Dihydridoiridium(III) Complex [IrH₂Cl(P i Pr₃)₂] as a Molecular Building Block for Unsymmetrical Binuclear Rhodium–Iridium and Iridium–Iridium Compounds The title compound [IrH₂Cl(PiPr₃)₂] ( 3 ) reacts with the chloro‐bridged dimers [RhCl(PiPr₃)₂]₂ ( 1 ) and [IrCl(C₈H₁₄)(PiPr₃)]₂ ( 5 ) by cleavage of the Cl‐bridges to give the unsymmetrical binuclear complexes 4 and 6 with Rh(μ‐Cl)₂Ir and Ir(μ‐Cl)₂Ir as the central building block. The reactions of 3 with the bis(cyclooctene) and (1,5‐cyclooctadiene) compounds [MCl(C₈H₁₄)₂]₂ ( 7 , 8 ) and [MCl(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)]₂ ( 9 , 10 ) (M = Rh, Ir) occur analogously and afford the rhodium(I)‐iridium(III) and iridium(I)‐iridium(III) complexes 11 – 14 in 70–80% yield. Treatment of [(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)M(μ‐Cl)₂IrH₂(PiPr₃)₂] ( 13 , 14 ) with phenylacetylene leads to the formation of the substitution products [(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)M(μ‐Cl)₂IrH(C≡CPh)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 15 , 16 ) without changing the central molecular core. Similarly, the compound [(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)Rh(μ‐Br)₂IrH(C≡CPh)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 18 ) has been prepared; it was characterized by X‐ray crystallography.

O-Alkyl Trithiophosphate Derivatives of Triorganotin(IV) and S-Alkyl Trithiophosphate Derivatives of Diorganotin(IV) Chloride

Reactions of triorganotin chlorides with potassium salt of O-alkyl trithiophosphate [ROP(S)(SK)₂; R = Me, Prⁱ, Ph] in 2:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene yield triorganotin O-alkyl trithiophosphate of the type ROP(S) [SSnR′₃]₂ R = Me, Prⁱ; Ph, R′ = Prⁿ, Buⁿ, Ph] which are found to be monomeric in nature. These complexes are soluble in common organic solvents.

The newly synthesized derivatives have been characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic techniques, IR, NMR (¹H, ³¹P, and ¹¹⁹Sn).
