Addition of CCl4 to unsaturated compounds catalyzed by M3(CO)12 (M=Fe, Ru, Os)

The addition of CCl₄ to hex-1-ene and to the methyl ester ofN-(trans-cinnamoyl)-l-proline (2) catalyzed by M₃(CO)₁₂ or by the M₃(CO)₁₂+DMF system (M=Fe, Ru, Os) was studied. The use of ruthenium and osmium dodecacarbonyls in combination with DMF increases the yields of adducts CCl₃CH₂CHClC₄H₉ (4) and PhCHClCH(CCl₃)C(O)R′ (3) over those obtained in reactions catalyzed by the same carbonyls without DMF. In addition to adduct3, salts [M(CO₃)Cl₃]⁻[Me₂NH₂]⁺ were isolated from the products of the reaction between CCl₄ and1 in the presence of M₃(CO)₁₂+DMF (M=Ru, Os). These salts do not catalyze this reaction and apparently result from chain termination. Experimental results in favor of a coordination mechanism of the addition of CCl₄ to olefins in the presence of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ and Os₃(CO)₁₂ were obtained.

Perfluormethyl-Element-Liganden. XVIII. Darstellung und spektroskopische Untersuchung von M(CO)5L und M(CO)4L2-Komplexen [L = MenP(CF3)3−n; n = 0–3; M = Cr,Mo, W]

Perfluoromethyl-Element-Ligands. XVIII. Preparation and Spectroscopic Investigation of M(CO)₅L and M(CO)₄L₂ Complexes [L = Me_nP(CF₃)_3?n; n = 0–3; M = Cr, Mo, W] M(CO)₅L and cis-M(CO)₄L₂ complexes, respectively [M = Cr, Mo, W; L = Me_nP(CF₃)_3?n; n = 0–3] are prepared reacting M(CO)₅ · THF or M(CO)₄norbor with L at room temperature. The cis-compounds isomerize above 50°C yielding the trans-complexes; the rate of isomerization increases with increasing number of CF₃ groups. Thermal reaction of M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, W) with P(CF₃)₃ yields M(CO)₅P(CF₃)₃ and trans-M(CO)₄[P(CF₃)₃]₂. Introduction of three P(CF₃)₃ ligands by reaction with M(CO)₃(cycloheptatriene) (M = Cr, Mo) proves unsuccessful; besides little M(CO)₅P(CF₃)₃ trans-M(CO)₄[P(CF₃)₃]₂ is formed. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (n.m.r., i.r., MS) methods.     

On the inductive effects of the organometallic groups M(CO) m Cp n and HgM(CO) m Cp n (M = Co,Mo, Mn,Fe, Re)

Based on the dependences v(CO) =a + b^* for IR spectra of carbonyi complexes of transition metals, the inductive constants of the organometallic fragments M(CO) _m Cp _n and HgM(CO) _m Cp _n (M = Co, Mo, Mn, Fe, Re) have been determined. The acceptor properties of the organometallic fragments have been shown to change according to the order of the nucleophilicity of the anions: Fe(CO)₂Cp > Re(CO)₅ > Mn(CO)₅ > Mo(CO)₃Cp > Co(CO)₄.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reactions of the carbonyl complexes M(CO)3(L)3 (L = py,M = Mo,W; L = NH3, M = Mo) and M(CO)4(2-Mepy)2 (M = Mo,W) with HgX2 (X = Cl,CN, SCN)

The reactions of the substituted Group VI metal carbonyls of the type M(CO)₄(2-Mepy)₂ (M = Mo, w) and M(CO)₃(L)₃ (L = py, M = Mo, W; L = NH₃, M = Mo) with mercuric derivatives HgX₂ (X = Cl, CN, SCN) have given rise to three series of tricarbonyl complexes: M(CO)₃(py)HgCl₂ · 1/2HgCl₂ (M = Mo, W); 2[M(CO)₃(L)]Hg(CN)·nHg(CN)_x (L = py, M = Mo, W, n = $\text{1}\text{2}$, × = 2; L = 2- Mepy, × = 1; M = Mo, n = 3; M = W, n = 1); and [M(CO)₃(L)Hg(SCN)₂ · nHg(SCN)₂] (L = py, M = Mo,W, n = 0; L = 2-Mepy, M = Mo, W, n = $\text{1}\text{2}$; L = NH₃, M = Mo, n = 0) depending on which mercuric compound is employed. All the reactions with Hg(SCN)₂ give isolable products whereas those with Hg(CN)₂ and HgCl₂ did so far only the reactions with [M(CO)₄(2-Mepy)₂] and M(CO)₃(py)₃. The greater reactivity of Hg(SCN)₂ than of Hg(CN)₂ and HgCl₂ is consistent with the various acceptor capacities of the groups bonded to the mercury atom.The reactions studied always involve displacement of the N-donor ligand of the original complex and partial or total displacement of the halide or pseudohalide groups of the mercury compound to give in all cases compounds containing MHg bonds. In addition, elimination of a CO group in the tetracarbonyl complexes M(CO)₄(2-Mepy)₂occurs.     

Rate constants for reactions of Cl abstraction from CCl4 by CCl3CH2·CHR radicals and Br abstraction from CCl3CH2CHBrR (R=Bun, AcO, OCNC4H8, CN) by ·Re(CO)5 radicals

The rate constants for reactions of Cl abstraction from CCl₄ by CCl₃CH₂·CHR radicals and Br abstraction from CCl₃CH₂CHBrR (R=Buⁿ, AcO, OCNC₄H₈, CN) by·Re(CO)₅ radicals were determined by ESR spectroscopy using spin trapping technique. Replacement of H atoms at the C(β) atom by O or N atoms reduces the reactivity of the radicals in the reactions of Cl abstraction from CCl₄ by approximately an order of magnitude. The presence of two polar groups at the C(β) atom results in appreciable decrease in the strength of the C−Br bond in CCl₃CH₂CHBrR adducts. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Photochemical reactions of metal carbonyls [M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo and W), Re(CO)5Br,Mn(CO)3Cp] with 2-hydroxyacetophenone methanesulfonylhydrazone (apmsh)

Five new complexes, [M(CO)₅(apmsh)] [M = Cr; (1), Mo; (2), W; (3)], [Re(CO)₄Br(apmsh)] (4) and [Mn(CO)₃(apmsh)] (5) have been synthesized by the photochemical reaction of metal carbonyls [M(CO)₆] (M = Cr, Mo and W), [Re(CO)₅Br], and [Mn(CO)₃Cp] with 2-hydroxyacetophenone methanesulfonylhydrazone (apmsh). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, f.t.-i.r. and ¹H spectroscopy. Spectroscopic studies show that apmsh behaves as a monodentate ligand coordinating via the imine N donor atom in [M(CO)₅(apmsh)] (1–4) and as a tridentate ligand in (5).

Preparation and spectroscopical Investigations of M(CO)₄L₂ and M(CO)₃L₃ Complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W; L = Me₃SiOCH₂PMe₂, Me₂(CH₂?CH)SiOCH₂PMe₂ The coordinating properties of the ligands L¹ (?Me₃SiOCH₂PMe₂) and L² (?Me₂ViSiOCH₂PMe₂)¹) have been studied by synthesis and spectroscopic investigations (IR, NMR, MS) of their complexes M(CO)₄L₂ and M(CO)₃L₃(M = Cr, Mo, W). The complexes are obtained by replacement of norbornadiene (NBD) in M(CO)₄NBD or cycloheptatriene CHT in M(CO)₃CHT. Spectroscopic data (v(CO), δ δ) support the σ-donor/-π-acceptor model of the MP bonds.     

On the mechanism of the Kharash reaction catalyzed by Fe(CO)5

Fe(CO)₅ is sufficiently stable at 80 °C in benzene solution and its thermal decomposition is not accelerated in the presence of phenyl cinnamate or/and DMF. The decomposition is accelerated by CCl₃Br (drastically) and by CCl₄ (to a lesser extent). DMF accelerates the reaction of Fe(CO)₅ with CCl₄. The (FeCl(DMF)₅]²⁺[Cl₃FeOFeCl₃]^2– complex has been isolated as a product; its composition and structure have been determined by X-ray analysis. The obtained data indicate the absence of coordination of DMF or/and an olefin with Fe⁰ species at the stage preceding oxidation. The mechanisms of the generation of CCl₃ radicals in thermal and photochemical Kharash reactions in the presence of Fe(CO)₅ are basically different. The probable pathways of the effect of DMF on the rate of the oxidative decomposition of Fe(CO)₅ are discussed.For Part 2, see Ref. 1.Translated from IzvestiyaAkademii Nauk.

Photochemical studies of M(CO)6 (M = Cr,Mo, W) at low temperature in solution. Infrared spectra of M(CO)5 (solvent) (solvent = methylcyclohexane,methylene chloride) and W(CO)5L (L = aromatic hydrocarbon)

The infrared spectra of M(CO)₅(MCH) (MCH = methylcyclohexane; M = Cr, Mo, W), formed by 366 nm irradiation of M(CO)₆ at ?78°C in rigorously purified methylcyclohexane, are reported. The previously reported spectrum of “W(CO)₅” at low temperature in methylcyclohexane/isopentane solution is attributed to W(CO)₅(impurity), where the impurity is probably an aromatic or olefinic hydrocarbon. Spectra in methylene chloride solution are also discussed. The photochemical reactions of W(CO)₆ with aromatic hydrocarbon ligands in methylcyclohexane solution were also studied at ?78°C in a low temperature infrared cell. Irradiation (366 nm) of W(CO)₆ at ?78°C in rigorously purified methylcyclohexane solution containing approximately 5% (v/v) toluene, benzene, mesitylene, biphenyl, or p-xylene initially produces the complex W(CO)_5? (MCH). In the presence of the aromatic hydrocarbon, this complex is unstable and it decomposes in a dark reaction to give a complex which has an infrared spectrum typical for a C_4v M(CO)₅X molecule. It is proposed that the product of the dark reaction is W(CO)₅(aromatic), formed by reaction of W(CO)₅(MCH) with the aromatic ligand in solution. The infrared spectra of the W(CO)_5? (aromatic) complexes are different from the spectra previously reported for these complexes. It is shown that the spectra previously reported for W(CO)_5? (aromatic) are actually attributable to W(CO)₅(hexane) (hexane was the solvent used in the previous study); these spectra were probably obtained before W(CO)₅(hexane) had time to react with the aromatic hydrocarbon.

Interesting synthetic routes from the reinvestigation of the reaction of the M(CO)6 (M=Cr,Mo and W) species with KOH

Summary Reinvestigation of the reaction of M(CO)₆ (M=Cr, Mo or W) with KOH has been found to provide a very convenient route to the K[M₂H(CO)₁₀] compounds (M=Cr, Mo or W). The reaction involving Cr(CO)₆ yields new potassium derivatives containing [Cr₂(CO)₁₀]^2– and [HCr(CO)₅]^– species; also K[Cr₂D(CO)₁₀] is produced from the Cr(CO)₆/KOD interaction in C₂D₅OD. The reaction involving two different group 6 metal carbonyls yields [MM(CO)₁₀(-H)]^– (MM=CrMo, CrW or WMo) species as their K⁺ and PPN⁺ [bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium] salts.     

Cumulated double bond systems as ligands : V. Dialkylsulfurdiimine compounds M(CO)4(RNSNR) (M = Cr,Mo, W) and M(CO)5(RNSNR) (M = Cr,W); structural,spectroscopic and fluxional properties.

The preparation and properties are reported of M(CO)₄(RNSNR) (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = i-Pr, t-Bu), in which the ligand is bidentate and in the trans,trans configuration, and of M(CO)₅(RNSNR) (M = CR, W; R = Et, i-Pr) in which the sulfurdiimine is monodentate and in the cis,trans configuration. In both cases the ligand is linked to the metal atom via the N-atom(s). With M(CO)₅(MeNSNMe) a second isomer is found in which the sulfurdiimine is probably bonded via the S-atom to the metal. All the pentacarbonyl compounds are fluxional; this is attributed to a gliding movement of the metal atom along the NSN system.Both W(CO)₄(t-BuNSN-tBu) and W(CO)₅(MeNSNMe) show vibronic coupling of metal to ligand charge transfer transitions with sulfurdiimine vibrations, as shown with Resonance Raman, but only for W(CO)₅(MeNSNMe) also with the symmetric mode of the equatorial carbonyl groups. The metalsulfurdiimine bond appears to be weak for M(CO)₅(RNSNR), but strong for M(CO)₄(RNSNR).     

Stereochemically nonrigid six-coordinate metal carbonyl complexes : IV. A 13C NMR investigation of cis-M(CO)4X2 and M′(CO)5X derivatives (M = Fe,Ru, Os; M′ = Mn,Re; X = H,I)

The ¹³C NMR spectra of cis-M(CO)₄X₂ and M′(CO)₅X (M = Fe, Ru, Os; M′ = Mn, Re; X = H, I) and cis·Os(CO)₄Me₂ are reported. Variable temperature spectra demonstrated the stereochemical nonrigidity of cis-Fe(CO)₄H₂ and the stereochemical rigidity of the rest. The carbonyl averaging process in cis-Fe(CO)₄H₂ occurs without ligand dissociation. Improved syntheses of some of these derivatives are also given.     

Bidentate amines as bridges between M(CO)2Cl (M = Rh OR Ir) units

Chemical Bonding in Homoleptic Carbonyl Cations [M{Fe(CO)5}2]+ (M=Cu,Ag, Au)

Syntheses of the copper and gold complexes [Cu{Fe(CO)₅}₂][SbF₆] and [Au{Fe(CO)₅}₂][HOB{3,5-(CF₃)₂C₆H₃}₃] containing the homoleptic carbonyl cations [M{Fe(CO)₅}₂]⁺ (M=Cu, Au) are reported. Structural data of the rare, trimetallic Cu₂Fe, Ag₂Fe and Au₂Fe complexes [Cu{Fe(CO)₅}₂][SbF₆], [Ag{Fe(CO)₅}₂][SbF₆] and [Au{Fe(CO)₅}₂][HOB{3,5-(CF₃)₂C₆H₃}₃] are also given. The silver and gold cations [M{Fe(CO)₅}₂]⁺ (M=Ag, Au) possess a nearly linear Fe-M-Fe’ moiety but the Fe-Cu-Fe’ in [Cu{Fe(CO)₅}₂][SbF₆] exhibits a significant bending angle of 147° due to the strong interaction with the [SbF₆]⁻ anion. The Fe(CO)₅ ligands adopt a distorted square-pyramidal geometry in the cations [M{Fe(CO)₅}₂]⁺, with the basal CO groups inclined towards M. The geometry optimization with DFT methods of the cations [M{Fe(CO)₅}₂]⁺ (M=Cu, Ag, Au) gives equilibrium structures with linear Fe-M-Fe’ fragments and D₂ symmetry for the copper and silver cations and D_4d symmetry for the gold cation. There is nearly free rotation of the Fe(CO)₅ ligands around the Fe-M-Fe’ axis. The calculated bond dissociation energies for the loss of both Fe(CO)₅ ligands from the cations [M{Fe(CO)₅}₂]⁺ show the order M=Au (D_e=137.2 kcal mol⁻¹)>Cu (D_e=109.0 kcal mol⁻¹)>Ag (D_e=92.4 kcal mol⁻¹). The QTAIM analysis shows bond paths and bond critical points for the M−Fe linkage but not between M and the CO ligands. The EDA-NOCV calculations suggest that the [Fe(CO)₅]→M⁺←[Fe(CO)₅] donation is significantly stronger than the [Fe(CO)₅]←M⁺→[Fe(CO)₅] backdonation. Inspection of the pairwise orbital interactions identifies four contributions for the charge donation of the Fe(CO)₅ ligands into the vacant (n)s and (n)p AOs of M⁺ and five components for the backdonation from the occupied (n-1)d AOs of M⁺ into vacant ligand orbitals.     

The syntheses and coordination properties of M(CO)3X(DAB) (M = Mn,Re; X = Cl,Br, I; DAB = 1,4-diazabutadiene)

M(CO)₅X (M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br, I) reacts with DAB (1,4-diazabutadiene = R₁N=C(R₂)C(R₂)′=NR′₁) to give M(CO)₃X(DAB). The ¹H, ¹³C NMR and IR spectra indicate that the facial isomer is formed exclusively. A comparison of the ¹³C NMR spectra of M(CO)₃X(DAB) (M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br, I; DAB = glyoxalbis-t-butylimine, glyoxyalbisisopropylimine) and the related M(CO)₄DAB complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) with Fe(CO)₃DAB complexes shows that the charge density on the ligands is comparable in both types of d⁶ metal complexes but is slightly different in the Fe-d⁸ complexes. The effect of the DAB substituents on the carbonyl stretching frequencies is in agreement with the A′(cis) > A″ (cis) > A′(trans) band ordering.Mn(CO)₃Cl(t-BuNCHCHNt-Bu) reacts with AgBF₄ under a CO atmosphere yielding [Mn(CO)₄(t-BuNCHCHN-t-Bu)]BF₄. The cationic complex is isoelectronic with M(CO)₄(t-BuNCHCHNt-Bu) (M = Cr, Mo, W).

Darstellung von Germanium-Mangan-, Germanium-Rhenium- und Zinn-Rhenium-Clustern des Typs M2(CO)8[μ-EXM(CO)5]2, (M = Mn,E = Ge,X = Br,I; M = Re,E = Ge bzw. Sn,X = I bzw. Cl,Br, I)

Preparation of Germanium-Manganese-, Germanium-Rhenium- and Tin-Rhenium-Clusters of the Type M₂(CO)₈[μ-EXM(CO)₅]₂ (M = Mn, E = Ge, X = Br, I; M = Re, E = Ge or Sn, X = I or Cl, Br, I) The clusters Re₂(CO)₈[μ-SnXRe(CO)₅]₂ are prepared by reaction of Re₂(CO)₁₀ and SnX₂ in a Schlenk-tube under release of pressure (X = Cl, Br, I) or in a sealed glass tube (X = Br, I). As central structural unit a four-membered Re₂Sn₂ ring has to be assumed. This unit can be opened again by reaction with CO under pressure. X₂Sn[Re(CO)₅]₂, which is also formed during the preparation of the clusters in dependance of the CO-pressure, indicates insertion of SnX₂ into the Re—Re bond to be the primary step. The corresponding clusters M₂(CO)₈[μ-GeXM(CO)₅]₂ (M = Mn, X = Br, I; M = Re, X = I) are prepared by reaction of GeI₂ and M₂(CO)₁₀ or of I₂Ge[Mn(CO)₅]₂ and Mn₂(CO)₁₀ or of Br₃GeMn(CO)₅ and BrMn(CO)₅. Ir frequencies of the new clusters are assigned.
