Synthesis and Structure of [Tp*Rh{P(C7H7)3}] – Competition between the Ligands Tris(3,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrazolyl)borate (Tp*) and Tris(1‐cyclohepta‐2,4,6‐trienyl)phosphane. Proof of the κ2(N,B–H) Coordination Mode of the Tp* Ligand

Stepwise introduction of the potential tripod ligands tris(3,5‐dimethyl‐1‐pyrazolyl)borate (Tp*) and tris(1‐cyclohepta‐2,4,6‐trienyl)phosphane into the coordination sphere of rhodium(I) leads mainly to [Tp*Rh{P(C₇H₇)₃}] ( 4 ), in which Tp* is linked to the rhodium through a single pyrazolyl group and a non‐linear B–H–Rh bridge. This is the novel, now firmly established coordination mode κ²(N,B–H). The phosphane ligand is coordinated through one Rh–P and two Rh‐olefin bonds. Important structural features determined for the crystalline state of 4 are retained in solution, as shown by the ¹H, ¹¹B, ¹³C, ³¹P and ¹⁰³Rh NMR spectra.     

Platinum(II) and Palladium(II) Bis(chelate) Complexes Containing both Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane,P(C7H7)3, and Dichalcogenolato Ligands

Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane, P(C₇H₇)₃ ([P] when coordinated to a metal atom), was used to stabilize complexes of platinum(II) and palladium(II) with chelating dichalcogenolato ligands as [P]M(E∩E) [E = S, ∩ = CH₂CH₂, M = Pt ( 3a ); E = S, ∩ = 1, 2‐C₆H₄, M = Pt ( 5a ), Pd ( 6a ); E = S, ∩ = C(O)C(O), M = Pt ( 7a ), Pd ( 8a ); E = S, Se, ∩ = 1, 2‐C₂(B₁₀H₁₀), M = Pt ( 9a, 9b ), Pd ( 10a, 10b ); E = S, ∩ = Fe₂(CO)₆, M = Pt ( 11a ), Pd ( 12a )]. Starting materials in all reactions were [P]MCl₂ with M = Pt ( 1 ) and Pd ( 2 ). Attempts at the synthesis of [P]M(ER)₂ with non‐chelating chalcogenolato ligands were not successful. All new complexes were characterized by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in solution (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR), and the molecular structures of 5a and 12a were determined by X‐ray analysis. Both in the solid state and in solution the ligand [P] is linked to the metal atom by the P‐M bond and by η²‐C=C coordination of the central C=C bond of one of the C₇H₇ rings. In solution, intramolecular exchange between coordinated and non‐coordinated C₇H₇ rings is observed, the exchange process being markedly faster in the case of M = Pd than for M = Pt.     

1:1 Adducts of Copper(I) and Silver(I) Halides with the Olefinic Phosphane Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane. Molecular Structures of CuX[P(C7H7)3] (X = Cl,Br), AgCl[P(C7H7)3] and {Cu(μ3‐I)[P(C7H7)3]}4

A suspension of CuX (X = Cl, Br) or AgCl in organic solvents (such as CH₂Cl₂) reacts with P(C₇H₇)₃ ( 1 ) in a molar ratio 1:1 to give the mononuclear adducts CuX[P(C₇H₇)₃] (X = Cl ( 2a ), Br ( 2b )) and AgCl[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 3a ) which crystallize as isotypic compounds in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (Z = 4). In the crystal, two (of the three) cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl substituents are present in the boat conformation, thus establishing a loose long‐distance interaction between the central double bond and the metal atom. A distorted pseudo‐tetrahedral coordination sphere is assumed to exist around the metal atom, with large P‐M‐X angles of 165.49(8)° ( 2a ), 162.07(7)° ( 2b ) and 168.54(3)° ( 3a ), respectively. The tetrameric 1:1 adduct {Cu(μ₃‐I)[P(C₇H₇)₃]}₄( 2c ) which was obtained from CuI and 1 in boiling ethanol, has also been characterized by X‐ray crystallography (monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, Z = 4); it contains all 12 cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl substituents in the chair conformation. The NMR spectra (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) of the new complexes 2a‐c and 3a indicate non‐rigid structures in solution. At room temperature, the ³¹P NMR signal of 3a appears as a doublet with an averaged coupling constant, ¹J(Ag, P), of 700.1 Hz, whereas at —45 °C the two expected doublets are clearly discernible with coupling constants ¹J(¹⁰⁷Ag, ³¹P) = 671.0 Hz and ¹J(¹⁰⁹Ag, ³¹P) = 774.4 Hz, respectively.     

Halfsandwich Carbonylmetal Complexes of Vanadium,Chromium, and Manganese Containing Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane,P(C7H7)3

The photo‐induced substitution of a CO ligand has been used to prepare the halfsandwich complexes (η³‐C₃H₅)V(CO)₄[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 1 ), (η⁵‐C₅H₅)V(CO)₃[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 2 ), (η⁷‐C₇H₇)V(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 3 ), (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 4 ), and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 7 ), in which the olefinic phosphane is coordinated as a conventional two‐electron ligand through the lone pair of electrons at phosphorus. Some analogues, which are permethylated at the aromatic ring ( 2* , 4* , 7* ), were included for comparison. Subsequent photo‐elimination of another CO group from 4 or 7 converts the olefinic phosphane into a chelating four‐electron ligand, leading to (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂(η²‐C₇H₇)] ( 5 ) and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂(η²‐C₇H₇)] ( 8 ), respectively. The η²‐coordinated double bond in 5 and 8 can be displaced by trimethylphosphite to give (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₃][P(OMe)₃] ( 6 ) and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₃][P(OMe)₃] ( 9 ). The ³¹P and ¹³C NMR spectra of all complexes are discussed, and X‐ray structure analyses for 2 and 8 are presented. Prolonged irradiation of 7 and 8 led to a di(cycloheptatrienyl)phosphido‐bridged dimer, {(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂]}₂( 10 ).     

Molecular Structures of Mononuclear Rhodium Complexes Containing the Polydentate Ligand Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2,4,6‐trienyl)phosphane,P(C7H7)3. Classification according to the 31P Chemical Shifts

The olefinic phosphane P(C₇H₇)₃ ( 5 ) behaves as a tetradentate tripod ligand in [RhCl{P(η²‐C₇H₇)₃}] ( 6 ), using all 3 cyclohepta‐2,4,6‐trienyl substituents as η²‐coordinating side‐arms. Nucleophilic displacement of the one‐electron chloro ligand by halides or pseudohalides to give [RhX{P(η²‐C₇H₇)₃}] (X = Br ( 7a ), I ( 7b ), N₃ ( 7c ), NCO ( 7d )) leaves the basket‐like framework [Rh{P(η²‐C₇H₇)₃}] intact. Reactions of 6 with three‐electron ligands result in decomplexation of one cyclohepta‐2,4,6‐trienyl ring and formation of [Rh(L³){P(C₇H₇)(η²‐C₇H₇)₂}] (L³ = acetylacetonate ( 8 ), 2‐carboethoxy cyclopentanonate ( 8a )), reactions of 6 with five‐electron ligands such as η⁵‐C₅H₅ cause decomplexation of two olefinic side‐arms to give [Rh(L⁵){P(C₇H₇)₂(η²‐C₇H₇)}] (L⁵ = η⁵‐C₅H₅ (Cp) ( 9 ), η⁵‐C₅H₄^tBu ( 9a )). The last remaining chelate ring in 9 is opened by pressure‐carbonylation to give the adduct [Rh(Cp)(CO){P(C₇H₇)₃}] ( 10 ) or by oxidative addition of halogens to form [Rh(Cp)X₂{P(C₇H₇)₃}] (X = Br, I). The full set of ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, and ¹⁰³Rh NMR data is given for the prototype complexes 7a , 8 , 9 , and 10 , and the molecular geometries of the [Rh{P(C₇H₇)₃}] fragments are compared on the basis of the X‐ray structural determinations of 6 , 8 , 8a , 9 , 9a , and 10 . The chemical shifts δ(³¹P) provide a reliable parameter for the prediction of the molecular structures of the rhodium complexes in solution.     

Bipy,Phen und P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 in der Synthese kationischer Silber(I)‐Komplexe; die Festkörperstrukturen von [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]AgOTf und [Ag(phen)2]OTf

Bipy, Phen, and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ in the Synthesis of Cationic Silver(I) Complexes; the Solid‐State Structures of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgOTf and [Ag(phen)₂]OTf The reaction of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgX ( 1a , X = OTf; 1b , X = OClO₃) with equimolar amounts of L^capL ( 2a , L^capL = 2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy; 2b , L^capL = 4, 4′‐dimethyl‐2, 2′‐bipyridine, bipy′; 2c , L^capL = 1, 10‐phenanthroline, phen) leads to the formation of the cationic complexes {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Ag(L^capL)}⁺X^— (L^capL = bipy: 3a , X = OTf; 3b , X = ClO₄; L^capL = bipy′: 3c , X = OTf; 3d , X = ClO₄; L^capL = phen: 3e , X = OTf; 3f , X = ClO₄) in which the building blocks L^capL and P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ act as bidentate chelating ligands and are datively‐bound to the silver atom. Spectroscopic studies reveal that on the NMR time‐scale the phosphane group is dynamic with exchanging the respective Me₂NCH₂ built‐in arms. While complex 3e is stable in the solid‐state, it appeared that solutions of 3e start to decompose upon precipitation of colloidal silver when they are heated or irradiated with light, respectively. Appropriate work‐up of the reaction mixture allows the isolation of the phosphane P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 5 ) along with [Ag(phen)₂]OTf ( 4 ). The solid‐state structures of neutral 1a and cationic 4 are reported. Mononuclear 1a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 16.7763(2), b = 14.7892(2), c = 25.44130(10)Å, β = 106.1260(10), V = 6063.83(11)ų and Z = 4 with 8132 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0712), while 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with the cell parameters a = 26.749(3), b = 7.1550(10), c = 26.077(3)Å, β = 113.503(2), V = 4576.8(10)ų and Z = 4 with 6209 observed unique reflections (R₁ = 0.0481). The unit cell of 1a consists of two independent molecules. In both molecules the silver atom possesses a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere and a boat‐like conformation for the six‐membered AgPNCH₂C_2/phenyl cycles is found. In 4 , as typical for 1a , the silver atom possesses the coordination number 4. The two phen ligands are tilted by 40.63°. The OTf group is acting as non‐coordinating counter ion.     

Tri(1-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl)phosphan,P(C7H7)3 und Tetra(1-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl)phosphonium-tetrafluoroborat, [P(C7H7)4]BF4

Tri(1-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl)phosphane, P(C₇H₇)₃, and Tetra(1-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl)phosphonium Tetrafluoroborate, [P(C₇H₇)₄]BF₄ The reaction of tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane, P(SiMe₃)₃, with tropylium bromide, C₇H₇⁺Br^?, in polar solvents such as dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran gives P(C₇H₇)₃ ( 1 ) and [P(C₇H₇)₄]Br ( 2a ). According to the X-ray crystallographic structure determinations, all 1-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl substituents are present in the boat conformation in both P(C₇H₇)₃ ( 1 ) and the phosphonium salt, [P(C₇H₇)₄]BF₄ ( 2b ). The boat-shaped C₇H₇ rings are significantly more flattened if the phosphorus occupies the axial rather than the equatorial position at the ring substituent. Addition of a chalcogen to the lone pair at the central phosphorus atom of 1 leads to the chalcogena-phosphoranes EP(C₇H₇)₃ (E = O ( 3a ), S ( 3b ), Se ( 3c )). The new 1-cyclohepta-2,4,6-trienyl-phosphorus compounds 1, 2 b and 3a–c were characterized by their ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectra in C₆D₆ solution.     

Synthese monomerer Silber(I)‐Halogenid‐Komplexe mit T‐förmigem Bau – Kristallstrukturanalyse von [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]AgBr

Synthesis of Monomeric T‐Shaped Silver(I) Halide Complexes – Crystal Structure Analysis of [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgBr Treatment of the tetrapodal phosphane P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) with equimolar amounts of the silver(I) halides AgX ( 2 a : X = Cl, 2 b : X = Br) produces in tetrahydrofuran at 25 °C the monomeric silver(I) complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]AgX with planar coordination at the Ag atoms ( 3 a : X = Cl, 3 b : X = Br) in excellent yields. From complex 3 b a single X‐ray crystal structure analysis was carried out. Mononuclear 3 b crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with the cell parameters a = 14.504(6), b = 11.034(3), c = 17.604(5) Å, β = 102.86(4)°; V = 2746.6(16) ų; Z = 4; 2953 observed unique reflections, R₁ = 0.0805. Complex 3 b consists of monomeric sub‐units with a planar T‐shaped arrangement formed by the atoms Ag1, N1, P1 as well as Br1, whereby the P1–Ag1–Br1 array is almost linear orientated.     

Complexation of the 2, 4, 6‐Triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine with Copper(I,II) Chlorides. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [CuCl2·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], [Cu7Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3], and [Cu8Cl8·2C3N3(OC3H5)3]·2C2H5OH

Interaction of copper(II) chloride with 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine leads to formation of copper(II) complex [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( I ). Electrochemical reduction of I produces the mixed‐valence Cu^{I, II} π, σ‐complex of [Cu₇Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] ( II ). Final reduction produces [Cu₈Cl₈·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃]·2C₂H₅OH copper(I) π‐complex ( III ). Low‐temperature X‐ray structure investigation of all three compounds has been performed: I : space group P1¯, a = 8.9565(6), b = 9.0114(6), c = 9.7291(7) Å, α = 64.873(7), β = 80.661(6), γ = 89.131(6)°, V = 700.2(2) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0302 for 2893 reflections. II : space group P1¯, a = 11.698(2), b = 11.162(1), c = 8.106(1) Å, α = 93.635(9), β = 84.24(1), γ = 89.395(8)°, V = 962.0(5) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0465 for 6111 reflections. III : space group P1¯, a = 8.7853(9), b = 10.3602(9), c = 12.851(1) Å, α = 99.351(8), β = 105.516(9), γ = 89.395(8), V = 1111.4(4) ų, Z = 1, R = 0.0454 for 4470 reflections. Structure of I contains isolated [CuCl₂·2C₃N₃(OC₃H₅)₃] units. The isolated fragment of I fulfils in the structure of II bridging function connecting two hexagonal prismatic‐like cores Cu₆Cl₆, whereas isolated Cu₆Cl₆(CuCl)₂ prismatic derivative appears in III . Coordination behaviour of the 2, 4, 6‐triallyloxy‐1, 3, 5‐triazine moiety is different in all the compounds. In I ligand moiety binds to the only copper(II) atom through the nitrogen atom of the triazine ring. In II ligand is coordinated to the Cu^II‐atom through the N atom and to two Cu^I ones through the two allylic groups. In III all allylic groups and nitrogen atom are coordinated by four metal centers. The presence of three allyl arms promotes an acting in II and III structures the bridging function of the ligand moiety. On the other hand, space separation of allyl groups enables a formation of large complicated inorganic clusters.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur des heterobimetallischen Diorganozinndichlorids (FcN,N)2SnCl2 (FcN,N—: (η5‐C5H5)Fe{(η5‐C5H3[CH(CH3)N(CH3)CH2CH2NMe2]‐2}—)

Metal Complexes of Functionalized Sulfur‐containing Ligands. XVII Synthesis of S ‐Oxides of 1,2,4‐Trithiolane, 1,2,4,5‐Tetrathiane as well as 1,2,3,5,6‐Pentathiepane, and their Reactions with (Ph₃P)₂Pt(η²‐C₂H₄). X‐Ray Structure Analysis of 3,3,5,5‐Tetraphenyl‐1,2,4‐trithiolane 1‐oxide 3,3,5,5‐Tetraphenyl‐1,2,4‐trithiolan ( 1 ) was oxidized using m‐chloroperbenzoic acid to give, selectively, the 3,3,5,5‐tetraphenyl‐1,2,4‐trithiolane 1‐oxide ( 2 ). 2 was characterized structurally. The reaction of octamethyl tetrathiadispiro[3.2.3.2]dodecane‐2,9‐dione ( 3 ) with trifluoroperacetic acid at –50 °C yielded the corresponding 5‐oxide 4 . Oxidation of octamethyl pentathiadispiro[3.3.3.2]tridecane‐2,9‐dione ( 5 ) with m‐chloroperbenzoic acid at 0 °C gave the 12‐oxide 6 . Treatment of 2 with two equivalents of (Ph₃P)₂Pt(η²‐C₂H₄) ( 7 ) afforded a mixture (1 : 1) of the complexes (Ph₃P)₂PtSCPh₂S ( 8 ) and (Ph₃P)₂Pt(η²‐Ph₂C=S=O) ( 9 ), respectively.     

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.     

One‐dimensionally linked Chain Crown Ether Complexes. Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Complexes [K(18‐Crown‐6)]2[M(SeCN)4](H2O) (M = Pd,Pt)

Both complexes form one‐dimensionally linked chains of [K(18‐C‐6)]⁺ cations and [M(SeCN)₄]^2— (M = Pd, Pt) anions bridged by K‐O‐K interactions between adjacent [K(18‐C‐6)]⁺ units.

Syntheses and Structures of η¹‐Phosphaallyl, η¹‐Arsaallyl, and η¹‐Stibaallyl Iron Complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe–E(SiMe₃)C(OSiMe₃)=CPh₂] (E = P, As, Sb) The reaction of equimolar amounts of [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe–E(SiMe₃)₂] ( 1 a : E = P; 1 b : As; 1 c : Sb) and diphenylketene afforded the η¹‐phosphaallyl‐, η¹‐arsaallyl‐, and η¹‐stibaallyl complexes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe–E(SiMe₃)C(OSiMe₃)=CPh₂] ( 2 a : E = P; 2 b : As; 2 c : Sb). The molecular structures of 2 b and 2 c were elucidated by single crystal X‐ray analyses.     

CsTi2Cl7‐II: Synthese,Kristallstruktur und magnetische Eigenschaften

CsTi₂Cl₇‐II: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Magnetic Properties Single crystals of a second modification of CsTi₂Cl₇ (II) were obtained from the reaction of CsCl with TiCl₂ and C₆Cl₆ (monoclinic, P2₁/m (No. 11), Z = 2, a = 635.4(3), b = 1163.0(2), c = 728.0(2) pm, β = 91.49(4)°). X‐ray pure powder samples are obtained from the binary components in 1 : 2 molar mixtures of CsCl and TiCl₃ (melting at 900 °C and annealing at 550 °C below the melting point). The crystal structure of CsTi₂Cl₇‐II contains layers of densest packings of spheres of the compositions CsCl₃ and Cl₄, respectively, that are stacked alternatively in the [010] direction according to the sequence … ABAC … Ti³⁺ resides in one quarter of the octahedral holes between these layers in a way that confacial bioctahedra are connected via two common edges forming a zigzag chain running parallel to [010]. This structure with Ti³⁺–Ti³⁺ distances of 323 and 347 pm, respectively, is reflected in the antiferromagnetic behavior with interactions about sixteen times stronger within the dimers than between them (J = –490 cm^–1 bzw. J = –30 cm^–1).
