Synthese gemischt chalkogenido‐verbrückter Dirheniumkomplexe vom Typ Re2(μ‐ER)(μ‐E′R′)(CO)8 (E,E′ = S,Se, Te; R,R′ = org. Rest)

Synthesis of Mixed Chalcogenido‐Bridged Dirhenium Complexes of the Type Re₂(μ‐ER)(μ‐E′R′)(CO)₈ (E, E′ = S, Se, Te; R, R′ = org. Residue) Hydrido sulfido bridged complexes Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐SR)(CO)₈ (R = Ph, naph, Cy) react with the base DBU to give the salts [DBUH][Re₂(μ‐SR)(CO)₈]. Upon addition of electrophiles R′E′Br (E′R = SPh, SePh, TePh) to the in situ prepared salts mixed chalcogenido bridged complexes Re₂(μ‐SR)(μ‐E′R′)(CO)₈ were formed. The structures of the new compounds Re₂(μ‐SCy)(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈ and Re₂(μ‐Snaph)(μ‐TePh)(CO)₈ were determined by single crystal X‐ray analyses. For the preparation of analogous selenido tellurido bridged complexes Re₂(μ‐SePh)(μ‐TeR)(CO)₈ the novel hydrido selenido bridged complex Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈ was prepared from Re₂(CO)₈(NCMe)₂ and PhSeH. Its structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray analysis. Subsequent deprotonation with DBU gave in situ [DBUH][Re₂(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈] which upon addition of RTeBr (R = Ph, Buⁿ, Bu^t) formed the desired complexes Re₂(μ‐SePh)(μ‐TeR)(CO)₈. The reaction with Bu^tTeBr also yielded the novel spirocyclic complex (μ₄‐Te){Re₂(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈}₂ in low amounts. It was identified by single crystal X‐ray analysis. Re₂(μ‐SePh)(μ‐TeBu^t)(CO)₈ is oxidised in chloroform in the presence of air to give the novel complex (μ‐Te–Te‐μ){Re₂(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈}₂. All mixed chalcogenido bridged dirhenium complexes were proved to be dynamic in solution by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The dynamic behaviour is based on the fast and permanent inversion of the sulfido and selenido bridges. The tellurido bridges are rigid on the time scale of ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.

^tBu₂P–PLi–P^tBu₂·2THF reacts with [cis‐(Et₃P)₂MCl₂] (M = Ni, Pd) yielding [(1,2‐η‐^tBu₂P=P–P^tBu₂)Ni(PEt₃)Cl] and [(1,2‐η‐^tBu₂P=P–P^tBu2)Pd(PEt₃)Cl], respectively. ^tBu₂P– PLi–P^tBu₂ undergoes an oxidation process and the ^tBu₂P–P–P^tBu₂ ligand adopts in the products the structure of a side‐on bonded 1,1‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐(di‐tert‐butylphosphino)diphosphenium cation with a short P–P bond. Surprisingly, the reaction of ^tBu₂P–PLi–P^tBu₂·2THF with [cis‐(Et₃P)₂PtCl₂] does not yield [(1,2‐η‐^tBu₂P=P–P^tBu₂)Pt(PEt₃)Cl].

[Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)]: Synthesis, X‐ray Crystal Structure and Isomerization Na[Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₆(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 1 ) reacts with [NO][BF₄] at —60 °C in THF to the nitrosyl complex [Fe₂(CO)₆(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 2 ). The subsequent reaction of 2 with phosphanes (L) under mild conditions affords the complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(NO)L(μ‐P^tBu₂)], L = PPh₃, ( 3a ); η‐dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂), ( 3b ). In this case the phosphane substitutes one carbonyl ligand at the iron tetracarbonyl fragment in 2 , which was confirmed by the X‐ray crystal structure analysis of 3a . In solution 3b loses one CO ligand very easily to give dppm as bridging ligand on the Fe‐Fe bond. The thus formed compound [Fe₂(CO)₄(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ) occurs in solution in different solvents and over a wide temperature range as a mixture of the two isomers [Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4a ) and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4b ). 4a was unambiguously characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis while 4b was confirmed both by NMR investigations in solution as well as by means of DFT calculations. Furthermore, the spontaneous reaction of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ) with NO at —60 °C in toluene yields a complicated mixture of products containing [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 6 ) as main product beside the isomers 4a and 4b occuring in very low yields.

The chloroarsanyl complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₃M–As(Cl)CH(SiMe₃)₂] [where M = Mo ( 9 ); M = W ( 10 )] resulted from the reaction of Na[M(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] (M = Mo, W) with Cl₂AsCH(SiMe₃)₂. The tungsten derivative 10 and Na[Co(CO)₄] underwent reaction to give the dinuclear μ‐arsinidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] ( 11 ). Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₃)₂}] ( 1 ) with an equimolar amount of ethereal HBF₄ gave rise to a 85/15 mixture of the saline complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η²‐tBu(H)P–P(F)CH(SiMe₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 18 ) and [Cp(CO)₂Mo{F₂PCH(SiMe₃)₂}(tBuPH₂)]BF₄ ( 19 ) by HF‐addition to the PC bond of the η³‐diphosphaallyl ligand and subsequent protonation ( 18 ) and/or scission of the PP bond by the acid ( 19 ). Consistently 19 was the sole product when 1 was allowed to react with an excess of ethereal HBF₄. The products 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 18 and 19 were characterized by means of spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR, MS).

Clusterkomplexe [M2Rh(μ‐PCy2)(μ‐CO)2(CO)8] mit triangularem Metallgerüst RhM2 (M = Mn,Re; M2 = MnRe): Synthese,Struktur, Ringöffnungen und Katalysatoreigenschaften für die Isomerisierung und Hydroformylierung von 1‐Hexen

Cluster Complexes [M₂Rh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₈] with Triangular Core of RhM₂ (M = Re, Mn; M₂ = MnRe): Synthesis, Structure, Ring Opening Reaction, and Properties as Catalysts for Hydroformylation and Isomerisation of 1‐Hexene The salts PPh₄[M₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₈] and Rh(COD)[ClO₄] were in equimolar amounts reacted at –40 to –15 °C in the presence of CO_(g) in CH₂Cl₂/methanol solution under release of PPh₄[ClO₄] to intermediates. Such species formed in a selective reaction the unifold unsaturated 46 valence electrons title compounds [M₂Rh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₈] (M = Re 1 , Mn 2 ; M₂ = MnRe 3 ) in yields of > 90%; analogeous the derivatives with the PPh₂ bridge could the obtained (M = Re 4 , Mn 5 ). From these clusters the molecular structure of 2 was determined by a single crystal X‐ray analysis. The exchange of the labil CO ligand attached at the rhodium ring atom in 1 – 3 against selected tertiary and secondary phosphanes in solution gave the substitution products [M₂RhL(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₇] (M = Re: L = PMe₃ 6 , P(n‐Bu)₃ 7 , P(n‐C₆H₄SO₃Na)₃ 8 , HPCy₂ 9 , HPPh₂ 10 , HPMen₂ 11 , M₂ = MnRe: L = HPCy₂ 12 ) nearly quantitative. Such dimanganese rhodium intermediates ligated with secondary phosphanes were converted in a subsequent reaction to the ring‐opened complexes [MnRh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐H)(CO)₅Mn(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄] (M = Mn: R = Cy 13 , Ph 14 , Mn 15 ). The molecular structure of 13 , which showed in the time scale of the ³¹P NMR method a fluxional behaviour, was determined by X‐ray structure analysis. All products obtained were always characterized by means of υ(CO)Ir, ¹H and ³¹P NMR measurements. From the reactants of hydroformylation process, CO_(g) 1 – 2 in different solvents afforded at 20 °C under a reversible ring opening reaction the valence‐saturated complexes [MRh(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇M(CO)₅] (M = Re 16 , Mn 17 ), whereas the reaction of CO_(g) and the ring‐opened 13 to [MnRh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐H)(CO)₆Mn(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₄] ( 18 ) was as well reversible. The molecular structures of 17 and 18 were determined by X‐ray analysis. The υ(CO)IR, ¹H and ³¹P NMR measurements in pressure‐resistant reaction vessels at 20 °C ascertained the heterolytic splitting of hydrogen in the reaction of 1 – 2 dissolved in CDCl₃ or THF‐d₈ under formation of product monoanions [M₂Rh(μ‐CO)(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₉]^– (M = Re, Mn), which also were formed by the reaction of NaBH₄ and 1 – 2 . Finally, the substrate 1‐hexene and 1 and 3 gave under the release of the labil CO ligand an η²‐coordination pattern of hexene, which was weekened going from the Re to the Mn neighbor atoms. After the results of the catalytic experiments with 1 and 2 as catalysts, such change in the bonding property revealed an advantageous formation of hydroformylation products for the dirhenium rhodium catalyst 1 and that of isomerisation products of hexene for the dimanganese rhodium catalyst 2 . Par example, 1 generated n‐heptanal/2‐methylhexanal in TOF values of 246 [h^–1] (n/iso = 3.4) and the c,t‐hexenes in that of 241 [h^–1]. Opposotite to this, 2 achieved such values of 55 [h^–1] (n/iso = 3.6) and 473 [h^–1]. A triphenylphosphane substitution product of 1 increased the activity of the hydroformylation reaction about 20%, accompanied by an only gradually improved selectivity. The hydrogenation products like alcohols and saturated hydrocarbons known from industrial hydroformylation processes were not observed. The metals manganese and rhenium bound at the rhodium reaction center showed a cooperative effect.     

Regioselektive Ringöffnungen von einfach ungesättigten triangularen Clusterkomplexen [M2Rh(μ‐PR2)(μ‐CO)2(CO)8] (M2 = Re2, Mn2; R = Cy,Ph; M2 = MnRe,R = Ph) mit Diphosphanen

Regioselective Ring Opening Reactions of Unifold Unsaturated Triangular Cluster Complexes [M₂Rh(μ‐PR₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₈] (M₂ = Re₂, Mn₂; R = Cy, Ph; M₂ = MnRe, R = Ph) with Diphosphanes Equimolar amounts of the triangular title compounds and chelates of the type (Ph₂P)₂Z (Z = CH₂, DPPM ; C=CH₂, EPP ) react in thf solution at –40 to –20 °C under release of the labile terminal carbonyl ligand attached to the rhodium atom in good yields (70–90%) to ring‐opened unifold unsaturated complexes [MRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M(DPPM bzw. EPP)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₃] (DPPM: M₂ = Re₂, R = Cy 1 , Ph 2 ; Mn₂, Cy 5 , Ph 6 ; MnRe, Cy 7 . EPP: M₂ = Re₂, R = Cy 8 ; Mn₂, Cy 10 ). Complexes 1 , 2 and 8 react subsequently under minor uptake of carbon monoxide and formation of the valence saturated complexes [ReRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M(DPPM bzw. EPP) (CO)₆] (DPPM: R = Cy 3 , Ph 4 . EPP: R = Cy 9 ). Separate experiments ascertained that the regioselective ring opening at the M–M‐edge of the title compounds is limited to reactions with diphosphanes chelates with only one chain member and that the preparation of the unsaturated complexes demands relatively good donor ability of both P atoms. As examples for both types of compounds the molecular structures of 8 and 3 have been determined from single crystal X‐ray structure analysis. Additionally all new compounds are identified by means of ν(CO)IR, ¹H‐ and ³¹P‐NMR data. This includes complexes with a modified chain member in 1 and 5 which, after deprotonation reaction to carbanionic intermediates, could be trapped with [PPh₃Au]⁺ cations as rac‐[MRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M((Ph₂P)₂CHAuPPh₃)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₃] (M₂ = Re 17 , Mn 18 ) and products rac‐[MRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M((Ph₂P)₂CHCH₂R)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₃] (M₂ = Re, R = Ph 19 , n‐Bu 21 , Me 23 ; Mn, Ph 20 , n‐Bu 22 , Me 24 ) which result from Michael‐type addition reactions of 8 or 10 with strong nucleophiles LiR.

The low temperature IR and Raman spectra have been recorded of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[{Ru(NO)ClI₂}₂(μ‐I₂)] · 2 I₂ and are assigned by normal coordinate analysis.

The homologue [Mn₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 5 ) leads under the same reaction conditions to the corresponding products [Mn₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 6 ), Et ( 8 )). Also [MnRe(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax/eq‐H₂PCy)] ( 9 ) reacts under formation of [MnRe(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 10 ), Et ( 11 )). All new cluster complexes were identified by means of ¹H‐NMR, ³¹P‐NMR and ν(CO)‐IR spectroscopic measurements. 2 , 4 and 10 have also been characterized by single crystal X‐ray structure analyses with crystal parameters: 2 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.256(4) Å, b = 12.326(4) Å, c = 24.200(6) Å, α = 83.77(2)°, β = 78.43(2)°, γ = 68.76(2)°, Z = 2; 4 monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 12.851(3) Å, b = 18.369(3) Å, c = 40.966(8) Å, β = 94.22(1)°, Z = 8; 10 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.083(1) Å, b = 12.185(2) Å, c = 24.017(6) Å, α = 83.49(29)°, β = 78.54(2)°, γ = 69.15(2)°, Z = 2. The trapezoid arrangement of the metal atoms in 2 and 4 show in the solid structure trans‐positioned an open and a closed Re…Au edge. In solution these edges are equivalent and, on the ³¹P NMR time scale, represent two fluxional Re–Au bonds in the course of a topomerization process. Corresponding dynamic properties were observed for the dimanganese compounds 6 and 8 but not for the related MnRe clusters 10 and 11 . 2 and 4 are the first examples of cluster compounds with a permanent Re–Au bond valence isomerization.
