Intensity parameters,radiative transitions and non-radiative relaxations of Ho3+ in various tellurite glasses

The intensity parameters of holmium in sodium, barium and zinc tellurite glasses were obtained from the absorption spectra. Using these parameters and the matrix elements of Ho³⁺, transition probabilities and branching ratios from the excited states (⁵F₄, ⁵S₂), ⁵F₅, ⁵I₄, ⁵I₅ and ⁵I₆ were calculated. Quantum efficiencies for the (⁵F₄, ⁵S₂) state were obtained and the multiphonon transition rates calculated at room temperature. Non-radiative multiphonon relaxations were obtained from the (⁵F₄, ⁵S₂) level. The relaxation increased in the order of zinc, barium, sodium, and is assumed to be dependent on the local site symmetry of Ho³⁺ in glass.     

Luminescence Tuning of Upconversion Nanocrystals

Upconversion luminescence tuning of β‐NaYF₄ nanorods under 980 nm excitation has successfully been achieved by tridoping with Ln³⁺ ions with different electronic structures. The effects of Ce³⁺ ions on NaYF₄:Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ as well as Gd³⁺ ions on NaYF₄:Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺(Er³⁺) have been studied in detail. By tridoping with Ce³⁺ ions, not only were unusual ⁵G₅→⁵I₇ and ⁵F₂/³K₈→⁵I₈ transitions from Ho³⁺ ions and 5d→4f transitions from Ce³⁺ ions observed in NaYF₄:Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ nanorods, but also an increase in the intensity of ⁵F₅→⁵I₈ relative to ⁵S₂/⁵F₄→⁵I₈ with increasing Ce³⁺ concentration, which can be attributed to efficient energy transfers of ⁵I₆ (Ho)+²F_5/2 (Ce)→⁵I₇ (Ho)+²F_7/2 (Ce) and ⁵S₂/⁵F₄ (Ho)+²F_5/2 (Ce)→⁵F₅ (Ho)+²F_7/2 (Ce). Interestingly, with increasing pump power density, the luminescence of NaYF₄:Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ nanorods is always dominated by the ⁵S₂/⁵F₄→⁵I₈ transition, whereas the luminescence of Ce³⁺‐tridoped NaYF₄:Yb³⁺/Ho³⁺ nanorods is dominated by the ⁵S₂/⁵F₄→⁵I₈ and ⁵G₅→⁵I₇ transitions in turn. These observations are discussed on the basis of a rate equation model. Furthermore, Gd³⁺‐tridoped NaYF₄:Yb³⁺/Tm³⁺(Er³⁺) nanorods can emit multicolor upconversion emissions spanning from the UV to the near‐infrared under 980 nm excitation. ⁶P_5/2→⁸S_7/2 (≈306 nm) and ⁶P_7/2→⁸S_7/2 (≈311 nm) transitions from Gd³⁺ ions were observed. In addition to the aforementioned luminescence properties, these Gd³⁺‐tridoped nanorods also exhibit paramagnetic behavior at room temperature and superparamagnetic behavior at 2 or 5 K.     

Synthesis and structures of the η5-C5H5Cl(CO)2W-η1,η5-(PPh2)C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)3 and MeSi[C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)2PPh3]3 complexes

The metallation of the η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ complex with BuⁿLi (THF, ?78 °C) followed by the treatment of the lithium derivative with Ph₂PCl afforded the η⁵-Ph₂PC₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ complex. The reaction of the latter with η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₃WCl in the presence of Me₃NO produced the trinuclear complex η⁵-C₅H₅Cl(CO)₂W-η¹,η⁵-(Ph₂P)C₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃. The structure of the latter complex was established by IR, UV, and 1H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The reaction of MeSiCl₃ with three equivalents of LiC₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₂PPh₃ gave the hexanuclear complex MeSi[C₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₂PPh₃]₃.     

Allyldialkyl complexes of ruthenium(IV): Preparation and reductive CC bond formation followed by CH bond activation

New η³-allyldimethyl complexes Ru(η⁵-C₅R₅)(η³-C₃H₅)(CH₃)₂, where R = H or CH₃, are prepared from Ru(η⁵-C₅R₅)(η³-C₃H₅)Br₂ by alkylation with trimethyl-aluminium. The Ru^IV dimethyl complex is thermally converted to the Ru^II 1-methylallyl compound, Ru(η⁵-C₅R₅)(η³-CH₂CHCHCH₃)L, where L = CO or t-C₄H₉NC, with evolution of methane. Kinetic and deuteration studies on the reductive process are also discussed.     

Halide and complex halogeno anions as salts of oxinate chelates of titanium(IV)

(η⁵-Cyclopentadienyl)(η⁵-pyrrolyl)titanium(IV) dichloride, (η⁵-indenyl)-(η⁵-pyrrolyl)titanium(IV) dichloride and (η⁵-cyclopentadienyl)(η⁵-indenyl)-titanium(IV) dichloride, when treated with 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine) in aqueous medium form ionic derivatives of the type, [(η⁵-R)(η⁵-R′)TiL]⁺ Cl^- (R = C₅H₅, C₉H₇, R′ = C₄H₄N; R = C₅H₅, R′ = C₉H₇; L is the conjugate base of (oxine). A number of halide and complex halogeno anions present in aqueous solution were isolated as salts of these ionic complexes giving derivatives of the type, [(η⁵-R)(η⁵-R′)TiL]⁺ X^- (X = Br^-, I^-, ZnCl₃(H₂O)^-, CdCl₄^2-, HgCl₃^-). Conductivity measurements in nitrobenzene solution indicate that these complexes are electrolytes. Both the IR and ¹H NMR spectral studies demonstrate that the ligand L is chelating. Consequently there is tetrahedral coordination about the titanium(IV) ion.     

Palladium(II)‐Komplexe des 1,1,3,3,5,5‐Hexakis(dimethylamino)‐λ5‐[1,3,5]triphosphinins

Palladium(II) Complexes of 1,1,3,3,5,5‐Hexakis(dimethylamino)‐λ⁵‐[1,3,5]triphosphinine 1,1,3,3,5,5‐Hexakis(dimethylamino)‐1λ⁵‐3λ⁵‐5λ⁵‐[1,3,5]triphosphinine ( 5 ) reacts with (benzonitrile)₂PdCl₂ to give the chelate complex dichloro(dodeca‐N‐methyl‐1λ⁵,3λ⁵,5λ⁵‐1,3,5‐triphosphinine‐1,1,3,3,5,5‐hexaamin‐C²,C⁴)palladium ( 6 ). In a pyridine‐d₅ solution of 6 the complex dichloro(dodeca‐N‐methyl‐1λ⁵,3λ⁵,5λ⁵‐1,3,5‐triphosphinine‐1,1,3,3,5,5‐hexaamin‐C²)((²H₅)pyridine‐N)palladium ( 7 ) is formed. The solute 7 could not be isolated as a solid, because elimination of the solvent regenerates 6 quantitatively. Properties, nmr and ir spectra of 6 and 7 are reported. 6 is characterized by the results of an X‐ray structural analysis.     

Übergangsmetall-Komplexe des 1,1,3,3-Tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1λ5,3λ5-diphosphets

Transition Metal Complexes of 1,1,3,3-Tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1λ⁵,3λ⁵-Diphosphete 1,1,3,3-Tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1λ⁵,3aλ⁵-diphosphete, 1 , reacts with W(CO)₆ to yield the isomeric complexes {1,1,3,3-tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1λ⁵,3λ⁵-diphosphete}(pentacarbonyl)tungsten 4 and {1,1,3,3-tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1,4-dihydro-1λ⁵,3λ⁵-[1,3]diphosphetium}(pentacarbonyl)tungsten 5 . With Cr(CO)₆ the complex {1,1,3,3-tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1λ⁵,3λ⁵-diphosphete}(pentacarbonyl)chromium 6 is formed. From the reaction products of Fe₃(CO)₁₂ and Fe₂(CO)₉ with 1 the complex {1,1,3,3-tetrakis(dimethylamino)-1λ⁵,3λ⁵-diphosphete}(pentacarbonyl)iron 7 could be isolated. Properties, nmr, ir and mass spectra of the new compounds are reported. 6 and 7 were characterized by X-ray structure determinations.     

Mixed halodicyclopentadienyl-niobium(V) and -tantalum(V)

Oxidation of (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂MCl (M = Nb, Ta) with 1 mol of Cl₂, Br₂ or I₂ gives (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂MClX₂ whereas the reaction with an excess of the halogen gives the cationic complexes [η⁵-C₅H₅)₂MClX]⁺ X₃^? (X = Br, I). Similar oxidation of (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂MCl₂ with 0.5 mol of halogen gives (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂MCl₂X complexes, but if the halogen is used in excess cationic [η⁵-C₅H₅)₂MCl₂]⁺ X₃^? (X = Br, I; M = Ta and X = I, M = Nb) are obtained. All these complexes can also be obtained simultaneously by oxidizing (η⁵-C₅H₅)₄M₂Cl₃, and the separation is fairly easy in most cases. Conductivity and IR and NMR data are discussed.     

Reaktionen von tricarbonyl-chrom-η6λ3-phosphorin-komplexen zu tricarbonyl-chrom-η6λ5-phosphorin-ylid-komplexen

The tricarbonylchromium η⁶π⁶ complexes of 2,4,6-triphenyl- and 2,4,6-tri-t-butyl-λ³-phosphorins 3a and 3b add nucleophiles regio- and stereo-specifically to the phosphorus atom in the exo-position giving the λ⁴-phosphorin anions which now add electrophiles in the endo position, giving η⁵π⁶-λ⁵-phosphorin ylide complexes 5a and 5b, respectively. The ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectra of 3a and 3b and especially 5a and 5b are discussed with respect to the stereoisomeric complexes 5a having two different exocylic substituents at the phosphorus atom, synthesized from e.g. 1-ethyl-1-methyl-2,4,6-triphenyl-λ⁵-phosphorin and Cr(CO)₆. The tricarbonylchromium-1,1,-dialkyl or alkyl-aryl-2,4,6-tri-t-butyl-λ⁵-phosphorin 5b can only be synthezised from tricarbonylchromium-2,4,6-tri-t-butyl-λ³-phosphorin by addition of nucleophiles and electrophiles since the corresponding λ⁵-phosphorin derivatives are not available. By removal of the tricarbonylchromium residue from the λ⁵-phosphorin-ylide complexes 5b, however, also 2,4,6-tri-t-butyl-λ⁵-phosphorins can be prepared.     

Template-engineered metal macrocyclic complexes: Synthesis and biological activity

Three new azamacrocylic complexes of divalent transition-metal ions were synthesized by taking Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) metal ions as templates. The macrocyclic ligand (1²Z,5²Z,5⁴E)-1¹,1²,1³,1⁴,1⁵,1⁶,5¹,5²,5³,5⁴,5⁵,5⁶-dodecahydro-2,4,6,8-tetraaza-1 (2,4),5(4,2)-pyrimidine-3,7(1,2)-dibenzenacyclooctaphane-1⁶,5⁶-dione was derived from o-phenylenediamine (OPD) and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA). All the complexes were fully characterized through spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. The structures of the macrocyclic complexes were determined by IR, UV–vis, ESI-MS, TGA, molar conductance, magnetic moment, and electron spin resonance data. On the basis of the above studies, the complexes may be formulated as [MLX₂], in which L is a macrocyclic ligand and X = CH₃COO⁻. All the macrocyclic complexes were biologically screened to evaluate their antimicrobial efficacy. DNA binding study of two representative complexes was performed by UV–vis titrations.

XCV. η⁵-Pentamethylcyclopentadienyl Rhodium, Iridium, η⁶- Benzene Ruthenium, and Phosphine Palladium Complexes of Proline Methylester and Proline Amide Proline methylester (L¹) and proline amide (L²) give with the chloro bridged complexes [(η⁵ -C₅Me₅)MCl₂]₂ (M ?

( 6 ), [(η⁶-p-cymene)Ru(Cl)(L²)]⁺Cl^? ( 7 ), [(eta;⁵-C₅Me₅)M(Cl)(L²-H⁺)] ( 9, 10 M ? Rh, Ir), (Et₃P)Pd(Cl)₂L¹ ( 3 ), and [(Et₃P)Pd(Cl)(L²)]⁺Cl^? ( 8 ). The NMR spectra indicate that for 5 and 6 only one diastereoisomer is formed. The complexes 1, 2, 3 and 5 were characterized by X-ray diffraction.     

[Co(g5‐Me5C5)(g3‐tBu2PPCH–CH3)] aus [Co(g5‐Me5C5)(g2‐C2H4)2] und tBu2P–P=P(Me)tBu2

Coordination Chemistry of P‐rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. XVII [1] [Co(g⁵‐Me₅C₅)(g³‐^tBu₂PPCH–CH₃)] from [Co(g⁵‐Me₅C₅)(g²‐C₂H₄)₂] and ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ [Co(η⁵‐Me₅C₅)(η³‐^tBu₂PPCH–CH₃)] 1 is formed in the reaction of [Co(η⁵‐Me₅C₅)(η²‐C₂H₄)₂] 2 with ^tBu₂P–P 4 (generated from ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ 3 ) by elimination of one C₂H₄ ligand and coupling of the phosphinophosphinidene with the second one. The structure of 1 is proven by ³¹P, ¹³C, ¹H NMR spectra and the X‐ray structure analysis. Within the ligand ^tBu₂P¹P²C¹H–CH₃ in 1 , the angle P1–P2–C1 amounts to 90°. The Co, P1, P2, C1 atoms in 1 look like a „butterfly”︁. The reaction of 2 with a mixture of ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ 3 and ^tBu–C?P 5 yields [Co(η⁵‐Me₅C₅){η⁴‐(^tBuCP)₂}] 6 and 1 . While 6 is spontaneously formed, 1 appears only after complete consumption of 5 .     

Reactive regioregular oligothiophenes and polythiophenes with Zincke salt structure: Synthesis,reactions, and chemical properties

Polythiophenes with reactive Zincke salt structure, P4ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a and P5ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a , were synthesized by the oxidation polymerization of oligothiophenes, such as 3'‐(4‐N‐(2,4‐dinitrophenyl)pyridinium chloride)?2,2':5',2'';5'',2'''‐quarterthiophene ( 4ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?) ) and 4''‐(4‐N‐(2,4‐dinitrophenyl)pyridinium chloride)?2,2';5',2'';5'',2''';5''',2''''‐quinquethiophene ( 5ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?) ), with iron(III) chloride. The reaction of P5ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a with R‐NH₂ [R = n‐hexyl (Hex) and phenyl (Ph)] substituted the 2,4‐dinitrophenyl group into the R group with the elimination of 2,4‐dinitroaniline to yield P5ThPy⁺R(Cl^?) . Similarly, model compounds, 4ThPy⁺R(Cl^?) and 5ThPy⁺R(Cl^?) (R = Hex and Ph), were also synthesized. In contrast to the photoluminescent 4ThPy and 5ThPy , the compounds P4ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a , P5ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a , and P5ThPy⁺R(Cl^?) showed no photoluminescence because their internal pyridinium rings acted as quenchers. Cyclic voltammetry measurements suggested that P4ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a , P5ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a , and P5ThPy⁺R(Cl^?) received an electrochemical reduction of the pyridinium and 2,4‐dinitrophenyl groups and oxidation of the polymer backbone. P4ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a and P5ThPy⁺DNP(Cl^?)‐a were electrically conductive (ρ = 3.0 × 10 ^{? 6} S cm ^{? 1} and 2.1 × 10 ^{? 6} S cm ^{? 1}, respectively) in the nondoped state. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and structure of mono- and dinuclear cyclopentadienyl–indenyl complexes of iron(II) and further reactions to mixed tri- and tetranuclear iron–cobalt complexes

The reaction of a mixture of sodium cyclopentadienide and the monolithium salt or dilithium salt of 2,2-bis(indenyl)propane with FeCl₂ leads to the mononuclear complex [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-ind-C(CH₃)₂-ind)] (ind = 1-indenyl) (1) and the dinuclear complex [{(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-ind)}₂C(CH₃)₂] (2), respectively. [(η⁵-Me₅C₅)Fe(tmeda)Cl] reacts with dilithium 1,1′-biindenyl under formation of [{(η⁵-Me₅C₅)Fe}₂(μ-η⁵:η⁵-1,1′-biind)] (4). Due to the annelated arene rings of the η⁵-indenyl ligands, 2 and 4 may act as 4-electron donor ligands, as exemplified by the reaction with the triple-decker complex [{(η⁵-Me₅C₅)Co}₂(μ-η⁶:η⁶-toluene)], which afforded the tetranuclear dimer of triple-decker complexes [{(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-Me₅C₅)Co(μ-η⁵:η⁴-1-ind)}₂C(CH₃)₂] (3) and the trinuclear complex [{(η⁵-Me₅C₅)Fe}₂(η⁵-Me₅C₅)Co(μ₃-η⁵:η⁴:η⁵-1,1′-biind)] · Et₂O (5 · Et₂O) by replacement of the central toluene deck, respectively. The [(η⁵-Me₅C₅)Co] fragments of 3 and 5 are bonded via the six-membered rings of the indenyl ligands in a η⁴-fashion. Caused by the coordination to the Co atoms the six-membered rings lose their planarity and adopt a butterfly structure. The coordination geometry of the Fe atoms is similar in all five complexes. Each Fe atom is coordinated by the C atoms of one of the five-membered rings of the indenyl ligands in a slightly distorted η⁵ manner (η³ + η²-coordination) and by a cyclopentadienyl ligand in a regular η⁵-fashion. The structures of 3 and 5 represent the first examples of slipped triple-decker complexes which comprise indenyl ligands in a μ-η⁵:η⁴ coordination mode.     

Triphospha-Ferrocenes as Ligands. Crystal Structures of [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2 TBu2P3)M(CO)5)], (M= Cr,MO, W) and the Novel ruthenium and Nickel Complexes [Fe(η5-C5Me5) (η5-C2 TBu2P3)Ru3(CO)9] and [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2 tBu2P3)Ni(Co)2]2

Abstract

Syntheses and structures of penta- and hexaphosphorus analogues of ferrocene have been described recently¹. Unlike their simple ferrocene analogues, these complexes have further ligating potential towards other transition metal centres by virtue of the availability of the ring phosphorus lone-pair electrons that are not involved in the η⁵-coordination. We now describe the first examples of coordination compounds of the triphospha-ferrocene [Fe(η⁵-C₅Me₅) (η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃]. In the ruthenium complex [Fe(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃) Ru₃(CO)₉] ² two adjacent phosphorus atoms of the η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃ ring are interlinked by a ruthenium carbonyl cluster in which all three ruthenium atoms interact with the phosphorus atoms. The tetrametallic nickel complex [Fe(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃)Ni(CO)₂]₂ ³ represents the first example of intermolecular interlinkage of two phospha-ferrocene systems by two metal centres.     

10-Oxo-10H-5λ,10λ-thianthren-5-ylideneamine as a probe for stereochemistry in the formation and amination of fluoro-λ-sulfanenitriles

The fluorination of 10-oxo-10H-5λ⁴,10λ⁴-thianthren-5-ylideneamine (2) with Selectfluor™ affords 5-fluoro-10-oxo-5,10-dihydro-5λ⁶,10λ⁴-thianthren-5-nitrile (4). The amination of 4 with morpholine gives 5-morpholino-10-oxo-5,10-dihydro-5λ⁶,10λ⁴-thianthren-5-nitrile (5). The stereochemical course of both reactions has been studied, while the configurations of their products, cis-isomer 4 and trans-5-morpholino-10-oxo-5,10-dihydro-5λ⁶,10λ⁴-thianthren-5-nitrile (trans-5) are elucidated by the use of X-ray crystallographic analyses.     

Metallorganische lewis-säuren: XXX. Kationische benzaldehyd- und acetophenon-komplexe durch hydrid- bzw. Methylabstraktion aus (η5-C5H5)(OC)3MH (M = Mo,W) und (OC)5ReCH3 mit benzyliumhexafluoroantimonat

Hydride or methyl abstraction from (η⁵-C₅H₅)(OC)₃MH (M = Mo, W), (OC)₅ReCH₃ with benzyliumhexafluoroantimonate gives the complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₅)(OC)₃M(OCPhH)]⁺SbF₆⁻ and [(OC)₅Re(OCPhMe)]⁺SbF₆⁻, respectively. The acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₅)(OC)₃M(OCRH)]⁺BF₄⁻ (M = Mo, W; R = Me, Ph), [(OC)₅Re(OCMeH)]⁺Bf₄⁻ can also be formed by treating (η⁵-C₅H₅)(OC)₃MFBF₃ or (OC)₅ReFBF₃ with aldehyde.     

Photochemical reactions of allyl and crotyl halides with cyclopentadienyl-chromium, -molybdenum and -tungsten complexes

[MoCl(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₅)] on photolysis with allyl or crotyl halides C₅H₄RX gives Mo^IV complexes [MoX₂(CO)(η³-C₃H₄R)(η⁵-C₅H₅)] (R = H, X = Cl, Br, I; R = Me, X = Cl, Br). [WCl(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₅)] under similar conditions gives trihalides [WX₃(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)] (X = Cl, Br) on reaction with C₃H₅Cl and C₃H₅Br while [WCl(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)] and [CrI(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₅)] react with allyl chloride to give [WCl₃(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)] and [CrCl₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)] respectively.     

Strukturdynamische organometall-komplexe: III. Synthese,struktur und bindungsverhältnisse der komplexe (η5-C5H5)Pd(η1-C5H5)PR3

The complexes (η₅-C₅H₅)Pd(η¹-C₅H₅)PR₃ which are prepared from [Cl(PR₃)-Pd]₂(μ-OCOCH₃)₂ and TlC₅H₅ are fluxional in solution. According to the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra at various temperatures, two dynamic processes occur. The process with the higher activation energy is a π/σ (η⁵/η¹) exchange of the two different cyclopentadienyl ligands, whereas the second one with the lower activation energy presumably is a metallotropic rearrangement (1,2-shift). The coalescence temperature for the η⁵/η¹ exchange depends on the size of the phosphine. The X-ray structural analysis of (C₅H₅)₂PdPPrⁱ₃ proves that it exists as a “frozen” η⁵ + η¹ structure in the crystal with the palladium approximately in a square-planar coordination. The η⁵-bonded cyclopentadienyl ring shows some unusual bonding patterns which are obviously electronic in nature. EHT-MO calculations for (η⁵-C₅H₅)PdCH₃(PH₃) indicate that in this model system alternating CC distances in the ring and a stronger bond of the metal to one of the five carbon atoms of the C₅H₅ ligand are to be expected. The calculations suggest that in similar complexes possessing a six-electron donor ligand like C₅H₅^? and a metal fragment which is isolobal to PdCH₃(PH₃)⁺, analogous distortions should be observed. Some reactions of the compounds (η⁵-C₅H₅)Pd(η¹-C₅H₅)PR₃ are described.
