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.     

Vierkernige Clusterkomplexe vom Typ [MM′(AuPR3)2(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy2)(μ4‐PCy)(CO)6] (M,M′ = Mn,Re; R = Ph,Cy, Et): Synthese,Struktur und Topomerisierung

Tetranuclear Cluster Complexes of the Type [MM′(AuR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (M,M′ = Mn, Re; R = Ph, Cy, Et): Synthesis, Structure, and Topomerisation The dirhenium complex [Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 1 ) reacts at room temperature in thf solution with each two equivalents of the base DBU and of ClAuPR₃ (R = Ph, Cy, Et) in a photochemical reaction process to afford the tetranuclear clusters [Re₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 2 ), Cy ( 3 ), Et ( 4 )) in yields of 35–48%. 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.     

Synthese und Struktur chiraler Heterometallatetrahedrane des Typs [Re2(M1PPh3)(M2PPh3)(μ‐PCy2)(CO)7C≡CPh] (M1 = Ag,Au; M2 = Cu,Ag, Au)

Syntheses and Structure of Chiral Metallatetrahedron Complexes of the Type [Re₂(M¹PPh₃)(M²PPh₃)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇C≡CPh] (M¹ = Ag, Au; M² = Cu, Ag, Au) From the reaction of Li[Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(C(Ph)O)] ( 1 ) with Ph₃AuC≡CPh both benzaldehyde and the trinuclear complex Li[Re₂(AuPPh₃)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇C≡CPh] ( 2a ) were obtained in high yield. The complex anion was isolated as its PPh₄‐salt 2b . The latter reacts with coinage metal complexes PPh₃M²Cl [M² = Cu, Ag, Au] to give chiral heterometallatetrahedranes of the general formula [Re₂(AuPPh₃)(M²PPh₃)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇C≡CPh] (M² = Cu 3a , Ag 3b , Au 3c ). The corresponding complex [Re₂(AgPPh₃)₂(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇C≡CPh] ( 3d ) is obtained from the reaction of [Re₂(AgPPh₃)₂(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇Cl] ( 4 ) with LiC≡CPh. 3d undergoes a metathesis reaction in the presence of PPh₃CuCl giving [Re₂(AgPPh₃)(CuPPh₃)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇C≡CPh] ( 3e ) and PPh₃AgCl. Analogous metathesis reactions are observed when 3c is reacted with PPh₃AgCl or PPh₃CuCl giving 3a or 3b , respectively. The reaction of 1 with PPh₃AuCl gives benzaldehyde and Li[Re₂(AuPPh₃)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇Cl] ( 5a ) which upon reaction with PhLi forms the trinuclear complex Li[Re₂(AuPPh₃)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇Ph] ( 6a ). Again this complex was isolated as its PPh₄‐salt 6b . In contrast to 2b , 6b reacts with one equivalent of Ph₃PAuCl by transmetalation to give Ph₃PAuPh and PPh₄[Re₂(AuPPh₃)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇Cl] ( 5b ). The X‐ray structures of the compounds 3a , 3b , 3e and 4 are reported.

Activation of Carbon Disulfide on Triruthenium Clusters: Synthesis and X‐Ray Crystal Structure Analysis of [Ru₃(CO)₅(μ‐H)₂(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂){μ‐η²‐PCy₂C(S)}(μ₃‐S)] and [Ru₃(CO)₅(CS)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐PCy₂)₂(μ₃‐S)] [Ru₃(CO)₆(μ‐H)₂(μ‐PCy₂)₂(μ‐dppm)] ( 1 ) (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) reacts under mild conditions with CS₂ and yields by oxidative decarbonylation and insertion of CS into one phosphido bridge the opened 50 VE‐cluster [Ru₃(CO)₅(μ‐H)₂(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐dppm){μ‐η²‐PCy₂C(S)}(μ₃‐S)] ( 2 ) with only two M–M bonds. The compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 19.093(3), b = 12.2883(12), c = 20.098(3) Å; α = 84.65(3), β = 77.21(3), γ = 81.87(3)° and V = 2790.7(11) ų. The reaction of [Ru₃(CO)₇(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐PCy₂)₂] ( 3 ) with CS₂ in refluxing toluene affords the 50 VE‐cluster [Ru₃(CO)₅(CS)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐PCy₂)₂(μ₃‐S)] ( 4 ). The compound cristallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2₁/a with a = 19.093(3), b = 12.2883(12), c = 20.098(3) Å; β = 104.223(16)° and V = 4570.9(10) ų. Although in the solid state structure one elongated Ru–Ru bond has been found the complex 4 can be considered by means of the ³¹P‐NMR data as an electron‐rich metal cluster.

Coordinatively Unsaturated Diruthenium Complexes: Synthesis and X‐ray Crystal Structures of [Ru₂(CO)₃L(μ‐η¹ : η²‐C≡CPh)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] (L = CO, PⁿBu₃) [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 1 ) reacts with several phosphines (L) in refluxing toluene under substitution of one carbonyl ligand and yields the compounds [Ru₂(CO)₃L(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] (L = PⁿBu₃, 2 a ; L = PCy₂H, 2 b ; L = dppm‐P, 2 c ; dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂). The reactivity of 1 as well as the activated complexes 2 a – c towards phenylethyne was studied. Thus 1 , 2 a and 2 b , respectively, react with PhC≡CH in refluxing toluene with elimination of dihydrogen to the acetylide‐bridged complexes [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐η¹ : η²‐C≡CPh)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ) and [Ru₂(CO)₃L(μ‐η¹ : η²‐C≡CPh)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 a and 4 b ). The molecular structures of 3 and 4 a were determined by crystal structure analyses.     

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.

Coordinatively Unsaturated Diruthenium Complexes: Synthesis and X‐Ray Crystal Structures of [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐S)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)], [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐X)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] (X = Cl, S₂CH) [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 1 ) reacts in benzene with elemental sulfur to the addition product [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐S)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 2 ) (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂). 2 is also obtained by reaction of 1 with ethylene sulfide. The reaction of 1 with carbon disulfide yields with insertion of the CS₂ into the Ru₂(μ‐H) bridge the dithioformato complex [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐S₂CH)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ). Furthermore, 1 reacts with [NO][BF₄] to the complex salt [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐NO)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)][BF₄] ( 4 ), and reaction of 1 with CCl₄ or CHCl₃ affords spontaneously [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐Cl)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ) in nearly quantitative yield. The molecular structures of 2 , 3 and 5 were confirmed by crystal structure analyses.     

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 compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pcab with a = 15.6802(15), b = 28.953(3), c = 11.8419(19) Å and V = 5376.2(11) ų. The reaction of 4 with dppm (Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) in THF at room temperature affords in good yields [RuRh(μ‐CO)(CO)₃(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 7 ). 7 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 9.7503(19), b = 13.399(3), c = 15.823(3) Å and V = 1854.6 ų. Moreover single crystals of [CoRh(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 9 ) could be obtained and the single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis revealed that 9 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/a with a = 11.611(2), b = 13.333(2), c = 18.186(3) Å and V = 2693.0(8) ų.

Coordinatively Unsaturated Diruthenium Complexes: Synthesis and X‐ray Crystal Structures of [Ru₂(CO)_n(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] (n = 4; 5) and [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] The reaction of [Ru₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₅(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 2 ) with dppm yields the dinuclear species [Ru₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ) (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂). Under thermal or photolytic conditions 3 loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and affords the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ). 4 is also obtainable by an one‐pot synthesis from [Ru₃(CO)₁₂], an excess of ^tBu₂PH and stoichiometric amounts of dppm via the formation of [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)₂] ( 1 ). 4 exhibits a Ru–Ru double bond which could be confirmed by addition of methylene to the dimetallacyclopropane [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ). The molecular structures of 3 , 4 and 5 were determined by X‐ray crystal structure analyses.     

Binuclear CpV,Cp*V,and Cp*Ta Complexes containing Organochalcogenolato Bridges, μ‐ER (E = Sulfur,Selenium, Tellurium; R = Methyl,Phenyl, and Ferrocenyl)

Photolysis of the halfsandwich tetracarbonylmetal complexes CpV(CO)₄, Cp*V(CO)₄ and Cp*Ta(CO)₄ in solution in the presence of di(organyl)dichalcogenides E₂R₂ (E = S, Se, Te; R = Me, Ph, Fc) leads to diamagnetic doubly organochalcogenolato‐bridged compounds, [Cp⁽⁾M(CO)₂(μ‐ER)]₂. According to the X‐ray structure determinations carried out for [CpV(CO)₂(μ‐TeMe)]₂, [Cp*V(CO)₂(μ‐TePh)]₂ and [Cp*Ta(CO)₂(μ‐SPh)]₂, the molecular framework consists of a folded M₂(μ‐ER)₂ ring with the cyclopentadienyl ligands in cis‐configuration and the organyl substituents R in a syn‐equatorial arrangement, thus forming a bowl‐shaped molecule with the four terminal CO ligands protruding into the inner sphere. The M…M distances (in the range between 305 and 330 pm) are not considered to indicate direct bonding interactions. The vanadium complexes [Cp⁽⁾V(CO)₂(μ‐ER)]₂ are completely decarbonylated in the presence of an excess of E₂R₂ in boiling toluene, and in many cases the paramagnetic quadruply‐bridged products, [CpV(μ‐ER)₂]₂, can be isolated.

Koordinativ ungesättigte Dieisenkomplexe: Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von [Fe2(CO)4(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu2)(μ‐Ph2PCH2PPh2)] und [Fe2(CO)4(μ‐CH2)(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu2)(μ‐Ph2PCH2PPh2)]

Coordinatively Unsaturated Diiron Complexes: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₆(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 1 ) reacts spontaneously with dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) to give [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 2 c ). By thermolysis or photolysis, 2 c loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and yields the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ). 3 exhibits a Fe–Fe double bond which could be confirmed by the addition of methylene to the corresponding dimetallacyclopropane [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ). The reaction of 1 with dppe (Ph₂PC₂H₄PPh₂) affords [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppe)] ( 5 ). In contrast to the thermolysis of 2 c , yielding 3 , the heating of 5 in toluene leads rapidly to complete decomposition. The reaction of 1 with PPh₃ yields [Fe₂(CO)₆(H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(PPh₃)] ( 6 a ), while with ^tBu₂PH the compound [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₅(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 6 b ) is formed. The thermolysis of 6 b affords [Fe₂(CO)₅(μ‐P^tBu₂)₂] and the degradation products [Fe(CO)₃(^tBu₂PH)₂] and [Fe(CO)₄(^tBu₂PH)]. The molecular structures of 3 , 4 and 6 b were determined by X‐ray crystal structure analyses.

X‐Ray Crystal Structure Analyses of anti ‐[Cp*W(Se)(μ‐Se)]₂ and Cp*W(S)₂(OMe) The chalcogenation of Cp*WCl₄ ( 1 ) by E(SiMe₃)₂ (E = S, Se) and Te(SiMe₂^tBu)₂ in chloroform solution leads to dimeric products of the type anti‐[Cp*W(E)(μ‐E)]₂ (E = S ( 3 a ), Se ( 3 b ) and Te ( 3 c )). An X‐ray structure determination of 3 b indicates a centrosymmetric molecule containing a planar W(μ‐Se)₂W ring, the W–W distance (297.9(1) pm) corresponds to a single bond. In the presence of air the two terminal chalcogenido ligands (E) in 3 a – c are stepwise replaced by oxido ligands (O) to give [Cp*W(O)(μ‐E)]₂ (E = S ( 5 a ), Se ( 5 b ) and Te ( 5 c )) in quantitative yields. The reaction of Cp*WCl₄ with H₂S or ammonium polysulfide, (NH₄)₂S_x (x ∼ 10), leads to Cp*W(S)₂Cl ( 6 a ); the corresponding methoxy derivative, Cp*W(S)₂OCH₃ ( 9 a ), has been characterized by an X‐ray structure analysis. On the other hand, the reaction of Cp*WCl₄(PMe₃) ( 2 ) with sodium tetrasulfide, Na₂S₄, in dimethylformamide solution gives a mixture of mononuclear Cp*W(S)(S₂)Cl ( 8 a ), dinuclear [Cp*W(S)(μ‐S)]₂ ( 3 a ) and a trinuclear side‐product of composition Cp*₂W₃S₇ ( 13 a ). Terminal sulfido ligands are replaced by terminal oxido ligands in solution in the presence of oxygen. Thus, 6 a is stepwise converted into Cp*W(O)(S)Cl ( 10 a ) and CpW(O)₂Cl ( 12 a ), whereas 8 a gives Cp*W(O)(S₂)Cl ( 11 a ) and 13 a leads to Cp*₂W₃(O)S₆ ( 14 a ). The disulfido complexes 8 a and 11 a are desulfurized by triphenylphosphane to give 6 a and 10 a . The new complexes have been characterized by their IR and NMR spectra and by mass spectrometry.     

(PPh4)2[Cl2Re(N3S2)(μ‐NSN)(μ‐N≡ReCl3)]2 – ein Rhenium(VII)‐Komplex mit einer Nitrido‐, einer Dinitridosulfato(II)‐ und einer Rhena‐3,5‐dithia‐2,4,6‐triazino‐Funktion

(PPh₄)₂[Cl₂Re(N₃S₂)(μ‐NSN)(μ‐N≡ReCl₃)]₂ – a Rhenium(VII) Complex with a Nitrido, a Dinitridosulfato(II), and a Rhena‐3,5‐dithia‐2,4,6‐triazino Function The title compound has been prepared from PPh₄[Re^VIICl₄(NSCl)₂] with N(SiMe₃)₃ in dichloromethane solution to give red‐brown single crystals, which were suitable for a crystal structure determination. As a by‐product PPh₄[ReNCl₄] is formed. (PPh₄)₂[Cl₂Re^VII(N₃S₂)(μ‐NSN)(μ‐N≡Re^VIICl₃)]₂ ( 1 ): Space group P2₁/c, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1280.8(2), b = 1017.5(1), c = 2467.8(3) pm, β = 95.04(1)°, R = 0.049. The complex anion of 1 consists of a planar ReN₃S₂‐heterocycle which is connected with the second rhenium atom by a μ‐nitrido bridge as well as by a μ‐dinitridosulfato(II) ligand to form a planar Re₂(N)(NSN) six‐membered heterocycle. This [Cl₂Re(N₃S₂)(μ‐NSN)(μ‐N≡ReCl₃)]^– unit dimerizes via one of the N‐atoms of the (NSN)^4– ligand to give a centrosymmetric Re₂N₂ four‐membered ring.     

[Fe2(μsb‐CO)(CO)3(NO)(μ‐PtBu2)(μ‐Ph2PCH2PPh2)]: Synthese,Kristallstruktur und Koordinationsisomerie

[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.     

Heterometallische Clusterkomplexe der Typen Re2(μ-PR2)(CO)8(HgY) und ReMo(μ-PR2)(η5-C5H5)(CO)6(HgY) (R = Ph,Cy; Y = Cl,W(η5-C5H5)(CO)3)

Heterometallic Cluster Complexes of the Types Re₂(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈(HgY) and ReMo(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgY) (R = Ph, Cy; Y = Cl, W(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃) Dinuclear complexes Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈ and ReMo(μ-H)(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆ (R = phenyl, cyclohexyl) were deprotonated and reacted as anions with HgCl₂ to compounds of the both types Re₂(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈HgCl) and ReMo(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl). The heterometallic three-membered cluster complexes correspond to an isolobal exchange of a proton against a cationic HgCl⁺ group. For one of the products ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl) has been shown its conversion with NaW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃ to ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(HgW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃) under substitution of the chloro ligand, par example. The newly prepared compounds were characterized by means of IR, UV/VIS and ³¹P NMR data. A complete determination of the molecular structure by single crystal analyses was done in the case of Re₂(μ-PCy₂)(CO)₈(HgCl) and of ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl) which both are dimer because of the presence of an asymmetric dichloro bridge, and of ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃). The structural study illustrates through comparison the influence of various metal types on an interaction between centric and edge-bridged frontier orbitals in three-membered metal rings.     

Zur Selektivität des isolobalen Protonenaustausches im Hydrido/Phosphidoverbrückten Dirhenium-Komplex Re2(μ-H)(μ-PCyH)(CO)8

On the Selectivity of the Isolobal Proton Exchange in the Hydrido/Phsophido Bridged Dirhenium Complex Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PCyH)(CO)₈ H₂PCy and Re₂(CO)₁₀ in Xylene were heated in a sealed glass tube at 170°C for 18 h to afford Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PCyH)(CO)₈ in a yield of 30% and the cis/trans isomer pair Re₂(μ-PCyH)₂(CO)₈ in yields of 27% (trans) and 21% (cis). The isomer trans Re₂(μ-PCyH)₂(CO)₈ could be partially converted to the cis isomer by deprotonation with the non nucleophilic base DBU or by heating in xylene solution. The complex Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PCyH)(CO)₈ which is bifunctional relative to a proton abstraction was treated with equimolar amounts of DBU to generate [Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PCy)(CO)₈]^? under release of the more acidic proton from the PH group. Subsequently, this anion undergoes an isomerization to the thermodynamically more stable [Re₂(μ-PCyH)(CO)₈]^? by proton transfer. Such knowledge about the isomeric anions enabled us to synthesize selectively the monoaurated isomers Re₂(μ-AuPPh₃)(μ-PCyH)(CO)₈ and Re₂(μ-H)(μ₃-PCy(AuPPh₃))(CO)₈ in good yields by reaction with equimolar amounts of the electrophil ClAuPPh₃. In the presence of excess DBU and a twofold amount of ClAuPPh₃ the complex Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PCyH) · (CO)₈ formed the diaurated complex Re₂(μ-AuPPh₃)(μ₃-PCy(AuPPh₃))(CO)₈ (91%). Compared to the corresponding known dimanganese-gold isomers, each of the analogous dirhenium-gold complexes obtained showed no tendency for an isomerization process. Finally, the single crystal X-ray analyses of the three dirhenium-gold complexes led to the subsequent Re? Re bond lengths: 313,6(1) pm in Re₂(μ-H)(μ₃-PCy(AuPPh₃))(CO)₈, 316,8(2) pm in Re₂(μ-AuPPh₃)(μ₃PCy(AuPPh₃))(CO)₈ and 326,1(2) pm in Re₂(μ-AuPPh₃)(μ-PCyH)(CO)₈.     

Zweikernkomplexe des Typs Mn2(CO)8E(CF3)2E′R (E = P,As; E′ = S,Se, Te): Darstellung und Struktur

Perfluoromethyl Element Ligands. XLII Binuclear Complexes of the Type Mn₂(CO)₈E(CF₃)₂E′R (E = P, As; E′ = S, Se, Te): Synthesis and Structure Complexes of the type Mn₂(CO)₈E(CF₃)₂E′R, in which the groups E(CF₃)₂ and E′R act as bridging ligands, are prepared either by direct reactions of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ with (F₃C)₂EE′R (E = P, As; E′ = S, Se, Te) or by substitution of the iodine bridge in the representatives Mn₂(CO)₈ E(CF₃)₂I (E = P, As) with mercury compounds Hg(E′R)₂. As a rule the binuclear systems contain four‐membered heterocycles (Mn₂EE′). However, the reactions of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ with (F₃C)₂PE′P(CF₃)₂ (E′ = S, Se) yield five‐membered rings [Mn₂P(E′P)]. The compounds have been characterized by spectroscopic (NMR, IR, MS), analytic (C, H) and X‐ray diffraction investigations. The pyramidal Mn₂E′R fragment shows dynamic behaviour in solution via inversion between two identical structures.     

Umsetzungen von Cp*NbCl4 und Cp*TaCl4 mit Trimethylsilyl‐azid,Me3Si‐N3. Molekülstrukturen der bis(azido)‐oxo‐verbrückten Komplexe [Cp*NbCl(N3)(μ‐N3)]2(μ‐O) und [Cp*TaCl2(μ‐N3)]2(μ‐O) (Cp* = Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)

Reactions of Cp*NbCl₄ and Cp*TaCl₄ with Trimethylsilyl‐azide, Me₃Si‐N₃. Molecular Structures of the Bis(azido)‐Oxo‐Bridged Complexes [Cp*NbCl(N₃)(μ‐N₃)]₂(μ‐O) and [Cp*TaCl₂(μ‐N₃)]₂(μ‐O) (Cp* = Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) The chloro ligands in Cp*TaCl₄ (1c) can be stepwise substituted for azido ligands by reactions with trimethylsilyl azide, Me₃Si‐N₃ (A) , to generate the complete series of the bis(azido)‐bridged dimers [Cp*TaCl_3‐n(N₃)_n(μ‐N₃)]₂ ( n = 0 (2c) , n = 1 (3c) , n = 2 (4c) and n = 3 (5c) ). If the solvent CH₂Cl₂ contains traces of water, an additional oxo bridge is incorporated to give [Cp*‐TaCl₂(μ‐N₃)]₂(μ‐O) (6c) or [Cp*TaCl(N₃)(μ‐N₃)]₂(μ‐O) (7c) , respectively. Both 6c and 7c are also formed in stoichiometric reactions from [Cp*TaCl₂(μ‐OH)]₂(μ‐O) (8c) and A . Analogous reactions of Cp*NbCl₄ (1b) with A were used to prepare the azide‐rich dinuclear products [Cp*NbCl_3‐n(N₃)_n(μ‐N₃)]₂ (n = 2 (4b) , and n = 3 (5b) ), and [Cp*NbCl(N₃)(μ‐N₃)]₂(μ‐O) (7b) . The mononuclear complex Cp*Ta(N₃)Me₃ (10c) is obtained from Cp*Ta(Cl)Me₃ and A . All azido complexes were characterised by their IR as well as their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra; X‐ray crystal structure analyses are available for 6c and 7b .
