A Manganese(II) Coordination Polymer with Ditopic Bis(pyrazol‐1‐yl)borate Bridges

The synthesis and characterization of the ditopic bis(pyrazol‐1‐yl)borate ligand Li₂[p‐C₆H₄(B(C₆F₅)pz₂)₂] is reported (pz = pyrazol‐1‐yl). Compared to the corresponding t‐butyl derivative Li₂[p‐C₆H₄(B(t‐Bu)pz₂)₂], the C₆F₅‐substituted scorpionate is significantly more stable towards hydrolysis. Reaction of Li₂[p‐C₆H₄(B(C₆F₅)pz₂)₂] with two equivalents of MnCl₂ leads to the formation of coordination polymers {(MnCl₂)₂(Li(THF)₃)₂[p‐C₆H₄(B(C₆F₅)pz₂)₂]}_∞ featuring penta‐coordinate Mn^II ions chelated by one bis(pyrazol‐1‐yl)borate fragment and further bonded to three chloride ions. Two of the three chloride ions are also coordinated to a neighbouring Mn^II ion; the third chloro ligand is shared between the Mn^II centre and a Li(THF)₃ moiety.     

Tridentate Lewis Acids Based on 1,3,5‐Trisilacyclohexane Backbones and an Example of Their Host–Guest Chemistry

Directed tridentate Lewis acids based on the 1,3,5‐trisilacyclohexane skeleton with three ethynyl groups [CH₂Si(Me)(C₂H)]₃ were synthesised and functionalised by hydroboration with HB(C₆F₅)₂, yielding the ethenylborane {CH₂Si(Me)[C₂H₂B(C₆F₅)₂]}₃, and by metalation with gallium and indium organyls affording {CH₂Si(Me)[C₂M(R)₂]}₃ (M=Ga, In, R=Me, Et). In the synthesis of the backbone the influence of substituents (MeO, EtO and iPrO groups at Si) on the orientation of the methyl group was studied with the aim to increase the abundance of the all‐cis isomer. New compounds were identified by elemental analyses, multi‐nuclear NMR spectroscopy and in some cases by IR spectroscopy. Crystal structures were obtained for cis‐trans‐[CH₂Si(Me)(Cl)]₃, all‐cis‐[CH₂Si(Me)(H)]₃, all‐cis‐[CH₂Si(Me)(C₂H)]₃, cis‐trans‐[CH₂Si(Me)(C₂H)]₃ and all‐cis‐[CH₂Si(Me)(C₂SiMe₃)]₃. A gas‐phase electron diffraction experiment for all‐cis‐[CH₂Si(Me)(C₂H)]₃ provides information on the relative stabilities of the all‐equatorial and all‐axial form; the first is preferred in both solid and gas phase. The gallium‐based Lewis acid {CH₂Si(Me)[C₂Ga(Et)₂]}₃ was reacted with a tridentate Lewis base (1,3,5‐trimethyl‐1,3,5‐triazacyclohexane) in an NMR titration experiment. The generated host–guest complexes involved in the equilibria during this reaction were identified by DOSY NMR spectroscopy by comparing measured diffusion coefficients with those of the suitable reference compounds of same size and shape.

Triallylborane and some its analogs as ligands in transition metal π-complexes: theoretical investigations

The structure, stability, and potential existence of chromium complexes with triallylborane B(CH₂—CH=CH₂)₃ and its analogs with coordination of the Cr atom to three double bonds are discussed. Complexes LCr(CO)₃ are studied where L = (C₃H₅)₃CH, (C₃H₅)₃B, (C₃H₅)₃BNMe₃, [(C₃H₅)₃BF]−, (C₂H₄)₃, C₆H₆, (C₃H₅)₃CPh, (C₃H₅)₃B(NC₅H₅). The calculations are carried out in DFT terms in approximations PBE/3z and BP86/TZ2P. The calculated dissociation energies of the studied complexes into the fragments Cr(CO)₃ and L range from 48.3 to 63.0 kcal mol⁻¹ (BP86/TZ2P) and from 54.2 to 66.9 kcal mol⁻¹ (PBE/3z). Ligands (C₃H₅)₃ER (ER = CPh, B(NC₅H₅)) can form two isomeric complexes A and B due to coordination of tricarbonylchromium to either three double bonds or benzene or pyridine ring. In the former case, isomer A is less stable as compared to isomer B, while in the latter case isomer Ais more stable. The possibility of selective synthesis of one of these isomers, namely, tris(η²-allyl)pyridineborane complex, is predicted.

SYNTHESIS,LASER-RAMAN,INFRARED AND PROTON MAGNETIC RESONANCE SPECTRA OF (CH3)3PtX2- 3 IONS (X = Cl−, Br−) AND (CH3)3Ptiv ISOCYANIDE COMPLEXES

Abstract

The novel ionic complexes [(C₆H₅)₄As]₂ [(CH₃)₃PtX₃](X = Cl^? and Br^?) and [(CH₃)₃Pt(bipy)L]⁺[B(C₆H₅)₄]^? (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, L = aliphatic and aromatic isocyanide) have been prepared. The structure of the complex ions has been inferred from Laser-Raman and infrared spectra in the solid state and ¹H NMR in solution. These data are consistent with a facial configuration of the organometallic moiety. Trends in vibrational frequencies ν(Pt-C) and ν(Pt-X) indicate a “trans” influence sequence for the ligands, which in the case of (CH₃)₃PtX^2- ₃ is related with that found for (CH₃)₂AuX^? ₂ ions.     

Ethylene polymerization with novel bridged tri- and tetranuclear titanocene/MAO systems

Two benzene centered tri- and tetracyclopentadienyl ligands C₆H₃(CH₂C₅H₅)₃-1,3,5 (1) and C₆H₂(CH₂C₅H₅)₄-1,2,4,5 (2) and their titanium complexes C₆H₃[CH₂C₅H₄Ti(C₅H₅)Cl₂]₃-1,3,5 (3), C₆H₃[CH₂C₅H₄Ti(C₅H₄CH₃)Cl₂]₃-1,3,5 (4), as well as C₆H₂[CH₂C₅H₄Ti(C₅H₅)Cl₂]₄-1,2,4,5 (5) were synthesized and characterized by mass and ¹H NMR spectra. In the presence of methylaluminoxane (MAO), 3, 4 and 5 are efficient catalysts for ethylene polymerization in toluene. The influence of the polymerization conditions such as catalyst concentration, MAO/Ti molar ratio, polymerization time and temperature were investigated in detail. 3, 4 and 5 produce linear polyethylene (PE) with broad molecular weight distributions (MWD) and a little lower molecular weight.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Alkylverbindungen von Übergangsmetallen. XXXV. Zum Reaktionsverhalten von Tetrabenzyltitan gegenüber Lithiumalkylen

Contributions to the Chemistry of Transition Metal Alkyl Compounds. XXXV. Reactions in Tetrabenzyl Titanium/Alkyllithium Systems Organotitanium(IV) complexes of the type Li[(C₆H₅CH₂)₄TiR] (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₄H₉) were isolated from tetrabenzyl titanium and lithium alkyls at deep temperature. The reddish brown, crystalline compounds decompose between ?30 and 0°C with formation of benzyltitanates(II) which composition differs between Li₂[Ti(CH₂C₆H₅)₄] and Li[Ti(CH₂C₆H₅)₃]. From these complexes pure dibenzyl titanium can be isolated. The reaction mechanism is discussed. Experiments for isolation of a benzyl titanium(III) compound from (C₆H₅CH₂)₄Ti/RLi systems failed in all cases. Recent informations about stable tribenzyl titanium obtained from tetrabenzyl titanium and ethyl lithium could not be confirmed.

Organonickel(II) Complexes with Anionic N-Donor Ligands. Hydration of coordinated nitriles at a nickel(II) site

The hydroxo complex (Bu₄N)₂[Ni₂(C₆F₅)₄(μ-OH)₂]reacts with 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluoro benzenamine (C₆F₅-NH₂), 1,3-diaryltriaz-1-enes (ArNH? N=N? Ar, Ar = Ph, 4-MeC₆H₄, 4-MeOC₆H₄), 7-aza-1H-indole (= 1H-pyrrolo[2.3-b]pyridine; Hazind), N-phenylpyridin-2-amine(pyNHPh), and N-phenylpyridine-2-carboxamide (py-CONHPh) at room temperature in acetone to give the binuclear complexes (Bu₄N)₂[Ni₂(C₆F₅)₄(μ-C₆F₅NH)₂] ( 1 ) and (Bu₄N)₂[{Ni(C₆F₅)₂} 2(μ-OH)(μ-azind)] ( 2 ) and the mononuclear complexes Bu₄N[Ni(C₆F₅)2(ArN₃Ar)] ( 3 – 5 ), Bu₄N[Ni(C₆F₅)₂(pyNPh)] ( 6 ), and Bu₄N[Ni(C₆F₅)₂(pyCONPh)] ( 7 ). The hydroxo.complex (Bu₄N)₂[{Ni(C₆F₅)2-(μ-OH)}₂] promotes the nucleophilic addition of water to pyridine-2-carbonitrile, 2-aminoacetonitrile, and 2-(dimethylamino)acetonitrile, and complexes 8 – 10 containing pyridine-2-carboxamidato, 2-aminoacetamidato and 2-(dimethylamino)acetamidato ligands are formed. Analytical (C, H, N) and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H and ¹⁹F-NMR, and FAB-MS) data were used for structural assignments. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of (Bu₄N)₂[{Ni(C₆F₅)₂}₂(μ-OH)(μ-azind)] ( 2 ) established the binuclear nature of the anion; the two Ni-atoms are bridged by an OH group and a 7-aza-7H-indol-7-yl group, but the central Ni? O? Ni? N? C? N ring is not planar, the dihedral angle between the Ni? O? Ni and Ni? N? C? N? Ni planes being 84.4°.     

Acetylenic derivatives of metal carbonyls of the triad Fe,Ru, Os—XI Mass spectra of some binuclear complexes

The mass spectra of the following acetylenic derivatives of iron, ruthenium and osmium carbonyls are reported: the iron compounds Fe₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₆H₅)s₂]₂, Fe₂(CO)₆[C₂(CH₃)₂]₂ and Fe₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₂H₅)₂]₂, the ruthenium compounds Ru₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₆H₅)₂]₂, and Ru₂(CO)₆[C₂(CH₃)₂]₂ and the osmium compounds Os₂(CO)₆[C₂(C₆H₅)₂]₂, Os₂(CO)₆[C₂HC₆H₅]₂ and Os₂(CO)₆[C₂(CH₃)₂]₂. Iron compounds exhibit breakdown schemes where binuclear, mononuclear and hydrocarbon ions are present. On the other hand, ruthenium and osmium compounds fragment in a similar way and give rise to singly and doubly charged binuclear ions. Phenylic derivatives of ruthenium and osmium also give weak triply charged ions. The results are discussed in terms of relative strengths of the metal-metal and metal-carbon bonds.     

The reaction of nitroso oxides with olefins: Concerted or nonconcerted addition?

The mechanism of the interaction of nitroso oxides (RNOO) with olefins was studied at MCQDPT2/6-311+G(3df, 2p)//CASSCF(10; 9)/6-311G(d) level of theory. The following reaction channels were considered: (1) (3 + 2)-cycloaddition and nonconcerted biradical addition of nitroso oxide (2) through the terminal oxygen atom and (3) through the nitrogen atom to the C=C multiple bond. It was shown for the cases of (A) cis/trans-HNOO + C₂H₄, (B) cis/trans-HNOO + C₂F₄, (C) cis/trans-PhNOO + C₂H₄, and (D) cis/trans-PhNOO + C₂H₃CH₃ model systems that the typical reaction of nitroso oxides with alkenes was cycloaddition. For olefins with a decreased electron density at the multiple bond, as in system B, a substantial contribution of the one-center mechanism with the formation of biradical intermediates is possible.
