Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (CH2)3(3, 5-Me2Pz)2·[PhBr2Sn(CH2)SnBr2Ph]·2HBr·2H2O (Pz = pyrazole)

The reaction of bis(dibromophenylstannyl)methane with 1, 3-bis(3, 5-dimethyl- pyrazol-1-yl)propane in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio yields only 1:1 adduct which partly hydrolyzes to the title complex (C26H38Br6N4O2Sn2, Mr = 1155.42) during crystal growing. The title complex is of triclinic, space group P ī with a = 10.886(1), b = 12.508(1), c = 13.879(1) ?, α = 85.762(2), β = 85.159(2), γ = 84.020(2)°, V = 1868.8(4) ?3, Z = 2, Dc = 2.046 g/cm3, λ(MoKα) = 0.71073 ?, μ = 7.778 mm-1, F(000) = 1088, R = 0.0488 and wR = 0.1157 for 7560 observed reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). The crystal structure analysis indicates that there is no direct interaction between the ligand and bis(dibromophenylstannyl)methane, and two tin atoms are bridged by two bromide atoms from the partial hydrolysis of this adduct.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of (CH_2)_3(3,5-Me_2Pz)_2. [PhBr_2Sn(CH_2)SnBr_2Ph].2HBr.H_2O (Pz=pyrazole)

1 INTRODUCTION The coordination chemistry of tin or organotin toward poly(pyrazol-1-yl)borate ligands has been extensively investigated in recent years owing to the antitumor activity of some related organotin derivatives containing N-donor ligands. A number of organotin(Ⅳ) complexes containing poly(pyrazol- 1-yl)borate ligands have been synthesized and characterized[1~3], some of which have also shown interesting structural characteristics and reactivities[4~6]. Recently, poly(pyrazol…     

Condensation of Rare Earth Pyrazolates: The Dimeric,Trimeric and Polymeric Units [Gd2(Pz)6(PzH)4], [Nd3(Pz)9(PzH)2] and $^{1}_{\infty}\rm [Eu(Pz)_{2}(PzH)_{2}]$

Solvent free high‐temperature oxidations of rare earth metals with the heterocycle pyrazole as well as in low to non‐coordinating solvents were investigated to isolate intermediate stages between monomeric and polymeric pyrazolates of the lanthanides. Reaction conditions were tuned according to simultaneous DTA/TG and temperature dependent X‐ray powder diffraction experiments on known monomeric and polymeric pyrazolates, that gave rise to the idea that further structure intermediates could be isolated. Reactions in 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline gave the dimeric complex [Gd₂(Pz)₆(PzH)₄](PzH)(Tech) ( 1 ) as well as the triangular complex [Nd₃(Pz)₉(PzH)₂](PzH)(Tech)₂ ( 2 ). The solvent free melt synthesis resulted in a new polymeric form of ( 3 ) (pyrazole, PzH = C₃H₃NNH; pyrazolate anion, Pz^? = C₃H₃NN^?; 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoline, Tech = C₉H₁₃N). All three compounds contain coordinating pyrazolate amide groups and pyrazole molecules the latter decreasing in numbers upon condensation of the building units. According to simultaneous DTA/TG/MS investigations the condensation process can be identified with the release of pyrazole molecules. 1 consists of dimeric molecules containing trivalent gadolinium with a C.N. of eight. The two gadolinium atoms show different coordination polyhedra. Only σ coordination and bridging is found for 1 . 2 consists of trimeric molecules containing trivalent neodymium. The neodymium atoms also exhibit different coordination polyhedra with C.N.s of eight and nine. Both π and σ coordination is found for 2 , the π coordinating pyrazolate ligands acting as lids of the triangular units. Topological analysis of the electron localization function (ELF) for 2 calculated at the scalar‐relativistic DFT level reveals only weakly covalent π donor η⁵‐Pz–Nd interactions compared to the stronger covalent σ donor Pz–Nd interactions. The topological analysis of both, the ELF and the electron density reveals no significant differences of the respective charges of the Nd atoms. 3 exhibits a one‐dimensional chain structure with Eu^II and a C.N of ten. It can thus be addressed the β form of the referring formula with a new arrangement of the coordinating ligands. Like the α form 3 shows σ and π coordination of pyrazole and pyrazolate ligands. Simultaneous DTA/TG analysis reveals that the low‐temperature α form shows a phase transition into the β form between 110 °C and 130 °C. The three compounds were investigated by low‐temperature single crystal X‐ray analysis, Mid IR and Far IR spectroscopy.     

Copper and silver complexes containing organic azide ligands: syntheses, structures, and theoretical investigation of [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]CuNNN(1-Ad) and [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]AgN(1-Ad)NN (where Pz = pyrazolyl and 1-Ad = 1-adamantyl)

Treatment of [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Na(THF) with CF3SO3Cu followed by 1-azidoadamantane affords [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]CuNNN(1-Ad) in 65% yield. The solid state structure shows that the copper atom is coordinated to the terminal nitrogen atom (NT) of the azidoadamantane ligand. The related silver(I) adduct can be prepared in 80% yield by the treatment of [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Ag(THF) with 1-azidoadamantane. However, [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]AgN(1-Ad)NN shows a different bonding mode where the silver atom coordinates to the alkylated nitrogen atom (NA) of the azidoadamantane ligand. Asymmetric stretching bands of the azido group for copper and silver adducts appear at 2143 and 2120 cm-1, respectively. Theoretical investigation shows that steric effects do not play a dominant role in determining the bonding mode of the azide ligand in these two metal complexes. Although the copper(I) ion affinity for the two coordinating sites NT and NA is nearly identical, copper-azide back-bonding interactions favor the copper-NT mode of bonding over the copper-NA mode. Silver (a very poor back-bonding metal) prefers the NA site for coordination. The NA site has a significantly higher proton affinity and slightly higher sodium ion affinity. Important structural parameters for [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]CuNNN(1-Ad) and [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]AgN(1-Ad)NN are as follows: Cu-NT 1.861(3) A, NT-N 1.136(4) A, N-NA 1.219(4) A, NT-N-NA 173.1(3) degrees; Ag-NA 2.220(5) A, NT-N 1.143(12) A, N-NA 1.227(10) A, NT-N-NA 176.8(12) degrees. Overall, the azidoadamantane ligand does not undergo any significant changes upon coordination to Cu(I) or Ag(I) ions.     

Polyfluorinated Tris(pyrazolyl)borates. Syntheses and Spectroscopic and Structural Characterization of Group 1 and Group 11 Metal Complexes of [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)](-) and [HB(3-(CF(3))Pz)(3)](-)

The fluorinated tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)](-) and [HB(3-(CF(3))Pz)(3)](-) (where Pz = pyrazolyl) have been synthesized as their sodium salts from the corresponding pyrazoles and NaBH(4) in high yield. These sodium complexes and the related [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]K(DMAC) were used as ligand transfer agents in the preparation of the copper and silver complexes [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]Cu(DMAC), [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]CuPPh(3), [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]AgPPh(3), and [HB(3-(CF(3))Pz)(3)]AgPPh(3). Metal complexes of the fluorinated [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)](-) ligand have highly electrophilic metal sites relative to their hydrocarbon analogs. This is evident from the formation of stable adducts with neutral oxygen donors such as H(2)O, dimethylacetamide, or thf. Furthermore, the metal compounds derived from fluorinated ligands show fairly long-range coupling between fluorines of the trifluoromethyl groups and the hydrogen, silver, or phosphorus. The solid state structures show that the fluorines are in close proximity to these nuclei, thus suggesting a possible through-space coupling mechanism. Crystal structures of the sodium adducts exhibit significant metal-fluorine interactions. The treatment of [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]Na(H(2)O) with Et(4)NBr led to [Et(4)N][HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)], which contains a well-separated [Et(4)N](+) cation and the [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)](-) anion in the solid state.

Synthesis of tris- and tetrakis(pyrazol-1-yl)borate gold(III) complexes. Crystal structures of [Au[kappa(2)-N,N'-BH(Pz)(3)]Cl(2)] (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) and [Au[kappa(2)-N,N'-B(Pz)(4)](kappa(2)-C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2)-2)]ClO(4).CHCl(3)

Na[BH(pz)(3)] and Na[AuCl(4)].2H(2)O react in water (1:1) to give [Au[kappa(2)-N,N'-BH(pz)(3)]Cl(2)] (1) or, in the presence of NaClO(4) (2:1:1), the cationic complex [Au[kappa(2)-N,N'-BH(pz)(3)](2)]ClO(4) (2). The reactions of Na[B(pz)(4)] with the cyclometalated gold complexes [AuRCl(2)] and NaClO(4) (1:1:1) produce [Au[kappa(2)-N,N'-B(pz)(4)](R)]ClO(4) [R = kappa(2)-C,N-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2)-2 (3)] or [Au[kappa(2)-N,N'-B(pz)(4)](R)Cl] [R = C(6)H(3)(N=NC(6)H(4)Me-4')-2-Me-5 (4)], respectively, although 4 is better obtained in the absence of NaClO(4). The crystal structures of 1 and 3.CHCl(3) are reported. Both complexes display the gold center in square planar environments, two coordination sites being occupied by the chelating poly(pyrazolyl)borate ligands.     

Synthesis,structures and reactivities of poly(pyrazol-1-yl) alkane tetracarbonylmolybdenum (tungsten):x-ray crystal structures of (CH2)2(3,5-Me2Pz)2W(CO)4 and CH2(3,5-Me2Pz)2W(Cl)(CO)3(SnCl3)(Pz:pyrazolyl)

Since S. Trofimenko introduced these isosteric and isoelectronic ligands with poly(1-pyrazolyl)borates^[1],the poly (pyrazolyl)alkane ligands have attracted much attention. Their coordinating behaviour with transition and main group metals has been extensively investigated in recent years^[2]. The coordinating behaviour of bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)ethane is often different from other poly(pyrazolyl) alkanes^[3]. The VIB metals carbonyl complexes bonded with poly (pyrazolyl)alkanes have novel structures and unusual reactivities^[4,5,6],which encourages us to investigate M-Sn bimetallic complexes with poly(pyrazolyl)alkanes. In this paper, we report the synthesis, characterization and reactivities of poly (pyrazol-1-yl)alkane tetracarbonylmolybdenum (tungsten) with R'SnCl₃(R'=Ph,Cl).     

Monomeric [Ni(2,2"-Bipy){(i-C4H9)2PS2}2] and [Ni(Pz)2{(i-C4H9)2PS2}2] and Polymeric [Ni(Pz){(i-C4H9)2PS2}2]nComplexes (Pz = Pyrazine): Synthesis,Structures, and Properties

Diamagnetic [Ni(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] compound (I) in ethanol reacts with 2,2"-bipyridine or pyrazine to give the paramagnetic complexes [Ni(2,2"-Bipy)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] (II), [Ni(Pz)₂(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] (III), and [Ni(Pz)(i-Bu₂PS₂)₂] _n (IV) (_eff= 2.91–3.12 _B). Single crystals of IIwere grown for X-ray diffraction study. The crystals are monoclinic, a= 14.669(3) Å, b= 19.693(4) Å, c= 12.155(2) Å, = 107.51(3)°, V= 3348(1) ų, Z= 4; _calcd= 1.257 g/cm³, space group P2₁/c. The structure is built from monomeric molecules. The coordination polyhedron of the Ni atom is a distorted octahedron formed by four S atoms of two bidentate chelating i-Bu₂PS^– ₂ligands and by two N atoms of bidentate cyclic 2,2"-Bipy. Preliminary data for complexes IIIand IVindicate that they also contain an octahedral NiN₂S₄fragment. The structures of complexes I(square planar) and ofII–IV(octahedral) were confirmed by data from electron spectroscopy. Electronic absorption spectra were used to determine the rankings of the i-Bu₂PS^– ₂ions and Pz on a spectrochemical scale.     

Synthesis and structure of Zn7(mu4-O)2(OAc)10(Pz)2(OAc = acetate; Pz = pyrazine)

Reaction of Zn(OAc)(2).2H(2)O with pyrazine in refluxing ethanol gives the unusual heptanuclear complex Zn7(mu4-O)(2)(OAc)(10)(Pz)(2) (1) (OAc = acetate, Pz = pyrazine) in 46% yield. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of revealed a central Zn(7) core in which two pseudo-tetrahedral Zn(4) units are joined at a common vertex. The two pyrazine molecules are bound as terminal (eta1) ligands.     

Monodentate and Bridging Bidentate Functions of Pyrazine in the Crystal Structures of [Ni(Pz)2{(i-C4H9)2PS2}2] and [Ni(Pz){(i-C4H9)2PS2}2]n

The structures of mixed-ligand complexes [Ni(Pz)₂{(i-C₄H₉)₂PS₂}₂] (I) and [Ni(Pz){(i-C₄H₉)₂PS₂}₂] _n (II) were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (CAD-4 diffractometer, MoK radiation, 1527 and 2387 F_hkl, R = 0.0360 and R = 0.0491). The crystals of both complexes are monoclinic with cell dimensions a = 9.180(2), b = 16.002(3), c = 11.547(2) , = 104.92(3)°, V = 1639.0(6) ³, Z = 2, space group P2₁/n and a = 30.718(6), b = 11.036(2), c = 19.606(4) , = 118.90(3)°, V = 5819(2) ³, Z = 8, space group C2/c. The crystal structure of I consists of monomer molecules, in which the NiN₂S₄ unit is a compressed octahedron, and the monodentate Pz molecules are in the trans position. The structure of complex II consists of infinite zigzag chains along the c axis. The Ni atom has a distorted octahedral environment (2N+4S). The bridging bidentate Pz molecules are in the cis position. The packing modes and their interactions in the structures are discussed.

The infrared spectra of the title compounds are reported and discussed. The influence of the peroxide groups on the bond properties of the other ligands and some characteristics of the metal—peroxide interactions are analyzed.     

Syntheses of aluminum and zinc alkyl complexes of a highly fluorinated tris(pyrazolyl)borate using [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Ag(THF) as the ligand transfer agent

Dimethylaluminum or ethylzinc complexes of highly fluorinated tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)](-) can be obtained in excellent yield from the reaction between the silver adduct [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]Ag(THF) and the metal alkyl reagent Me(3)Al or Et(2)Zn. The X-ray crystal structure of [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]AlMe(2) shows that the tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand coordinates to the aluminum center in kappa(2)-fashion. [HB(3,5-(CF(3))(2)Pz)(3)]ZnEt features the typical kappa(3)-bonded ligand.     

Transition metal nitrosyls as nitrosylation agents : II.Photo-nitrosylation of η5-C5H5V(CO)3L(L = CO,Pz3) by [Co(NO)2Br]2

η⁵-C₅H₅V(NO)₂CO is prepared in 40% yield by the photo-reaction between η⁵-C₅H₅V(CO)₄ and [Co(NO)₂Br]₂.η⁵-C₅H₅V(NO)₂CO reacts by an S_N1 mechanism with various phosphines PZ₃ to yield η⁵-C₅-H₅V(NO)₂PZ₃. The phosphine complexes are also obtained by photo-induced ligand interchange between η⁵-C₅H₅V(CO)₃PZ₃ and [Co(NO)₂Br]₂, or η⁵-C₅H₅V(CO)₄ and Co(NO)₂Br(PZ₃). In all cases, the main cobalt species formed is Co(NO)(CO)₃. While the one-bond vanadiumphosphorus coupling constants of most of the phosphine complexes are virtually the same (ca 410 Hz),the chemical shift values δ(⁵¹V) (?1328 to ?973 ppm rel. VOCl₃) decrease in the order PF₃ > CO > P(OR)₃ > P(alkyl)₃ > PPh₃ > PPh(NEt₂)₂, reflecting the decreasing π-acceptor ability of the ligands. δ(⁵¹V) also decreases in the series of alkylphosphines PR₃ (R = Me, Et, Prⁿ, Buⁱ, Prⁱ, BU^t) as the cone angle of PR₃increases.     

Adduct formation or metathesis reactions of silver complexes containing the fluorinated ligands [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]- and [CF3SO3]-: formation of silver adducts containing unsupported silver-germanium bonds

A mixture of [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Ag(eta 2-toluene) and [(Me)2ATI]GeCl in CH2Cl2, rather than undergoing metathesis, formed a 1:1 adduct [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Ag<--GeCl[(Me)2ATI] (1, where [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3] = hydrotris(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazolyl)borate and [(Me)2ATI] = N-methyl-2-(methylamino)troponiminate) featuring a silver-germanium bond. Solutions of 1 (in CH2Cl2 or toluene) did not precipitate AgCl even after several days. However, it easily underwent metathesis with CF3SO3Ag, leading to the chloride-free product [HB(3,5-(CF3)2Pz)3]Ag<--Ge(OSO2CF3)[(Me)2ATI] (2). Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The Ag-Ge bond distances of 1 and 2 are 2.4215(9) and 2.4116(10) A, respectively.     

Pyrazolate bridged dinuclear rhodium complexes. X-ray structure of [Rh(Pz)(CO)P(OPh)3]2

The synthesis and properties of complexes of general formulae [Rh(Pz)(CO)L]₂ (Pz = pyrazolate ion, L = phosphorus donor ligand), [Rh(Pz)(diolefin)]₂ and [Rh(Pz)(C₂H₄)₂]₂ are reported. The crystal structure of the novel complex [Rh(Pz)(CO)P(OPh)₃]₂ has been determined by X-ray methods. The crystals are triclinic, space group P₁, with Z = 2 in a unit cell of dimensions a 14.061(10), b 17.140(13), c 9.937(7) Å, α 102.19(7), β 10.9.55(8), γ 75.14(8)°. The structure has been solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares to R = 0.058 for 2514 independent observed reflections. The structure consists of discrete dimeric complexes in which each rhodium is in nearly square-planar arrangement, being bonded to a carbon atom of a carbonyl group, to a phosphorus of a triphenylphosphite ligand and to two nitrogen atoms of pyrazolate ligands bridging the metal atoms. The dihedral angle between the two square planes of 86.2° gives a bent configuration to the molecule in which the carbonyls and the phosphite ligands are in a trans arrangement.
