The reactivity of two paramagnetic nickel(I) compounds, CpNi(NHC) (where Cp=cyclopentadienyl; NHC=1,3‐bis(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)imidazol‐2‐ylidene (IMes) or 1,3‐bis(2,6‐diisopropylphenyl)imidazol‐2‐ylidene (IPr)), towards [Na(dioxane)x][PnCO] (Pn=P, As) is described. These reactions afford symmetric bimetallic compounds (μ2:η2,η2‐Pn2){Ni(NHC)(CO)}2. Several novel intermediates en route to such species are identified and characterised, including a compound containing the PCO? anion in an unprecedented μ2:η2,η2‐binding mode. Ultimately, on treatment of the (μ2:η2,η2‐Pn2){Ni(IMes)(CO)}2 compounds with carbon monoxide, the Pn2 units can be released, affording P4 in the case of the phosphorus‐containing species, and elemental arsenic in the case of (μ2:η2,η2‐As2){Ni(IMes)(CO)}2. 相似文献
A μ3‐η2:η2:η2‐silane complex, [(Cp*Ru)3(μ3‐η2:η2:η2‐H3SitBu)(μ‐H)3] ( 2 a ; Cp*=η5‐C5Me5), was synthesized from the reaction of [{Cp*Ru(μ‐H)}3(μ3‐H)2] ( 1 ) with tBuSiH3. Complex 2 a is the first example of a silane ligand adopting a μ3‐η2:η2:η2 coordination mode. This unprecedented coordination mode was established by NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as X‐ray diffraction analysis and supported by a density functional study. Variable‐temperature NMR analysis implied that 2 a equilibrates with a tautomeric μ3‐silyl complex ( 3 a ). Although 3 a was not isolated, the corresponding μ3‐silyl complex, [(Cp*Ru)3(μ3‐η2:η2‐H2SiPh)(H)(μ‐H)3] ( 3 b ), was obtained from the reaction of 1 with PhSiH3. Treatment of 2 a with PhSiH3 resulted in a silane exchange reaction, leading to the formation of 3 b accompanied by the elimination of tBuSiH3. This result indicates that the μ3‐silane complex can be regarded as an “arrested” intermediate for the oxidative addition/reductive elimination of a primary silane to a trinuclear site. 相似文献
The synthesis of ansa complexes has been studied intensively owing to their importance as homogeneous catalysts and as precursors of metal‐containing polymers. However, paramagnetic non‐metallocene derivatives are rare and have been limited to examples with vanadium and titanium. Herein, we report an efficient procedure for the selective dilithiation of paramagnetic sandwich complex [Cr(η5‐C5H5)(η6‐C6H6)], which allows the preparation of a series of [n]chromoarenophanes (n=1, 2, 3) that feature silicon, germanium, and tin atoms at the bridging positions. The electronic and structural properties of these complexes were probed by X‐ray diffraction analysis, cyclic voltammetry, and by UV/Vis and EPR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic parameters for the strained and less strained complexes (i.e., with multiple‐atom linkers) indicate that the unpaired electron resides primarily in a d orbital on chromium(I); this result was also supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We did not observe a correlation between the experimental UV/Vis and EPR data and the degree of molecular distortion in these ansa complexes. The treatment of tin‐bridged complex [Cr(η5‐C5H4)(η6‐C6H5)SntBu2] with [Pt(PEt3)3] results in the non‐regioselective insertion of the low‐valent Pt0 fragment into the Cipso? Sn bonds in both the five‐ and six‐membered rings, thereby furnishing a bimetallic complex. This observed reactivity suggests that ansa complexes of this type are promising starting materials for the synthesis of bimetallic complexes in general and also underline their potential to undergo ring‐opening processes to yield new metal‐containing polymers. 相似文献
P makes it possible : The convenient oxidative synthesis of the 16‐electron organophosphorus iron sandwich complex [Fe(η4‐P2C2tBu2)2] (see structure) suggests that the elusive all‐carbon complex [Fe(η4‐C4H4)2] is a viable synthetic target.
