Coordinatively Unsaturated Diiron Complexes: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₆(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 1 ) reacts spontaneously with dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) to give [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 2 c ). By thermolysis or photolysis, 2 c loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and yields the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ). 3 exhibits a Fe–Fe double bond which could be confirmed by the addition of methylene to the corresponding dimetallacyclopropane [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ). The reaction of 1 with dppe (Ph₂PC₂H₄PPh₂) affords [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppe)] ( 5 ). In contrast to the thermolysis of 2 c , yielding 3 , the heating of 5 in toluene leads rapidly to complete decomposition. The reaction of 1 with PPh₃ yields [Fe₂(CO)₆(H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(PPh₃)] ( 6 a ), while with ^tBu₂PH the compound [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₅(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 6 b ) is formed. The thermolysis of 6 b affords [Fe₂(CO)₅(μ‐P^tBu₂)₂] and the degradation products [Fe(CO)₃(^tBu₂PH)₂] and [Fe(CO)₄(^tBu₂PH)]. The molecular structures of 3 , 4 and 6 b were determined by X‐ray crystal structure analyses.

Two new soluble iron–oxo complexes: [Fe2(μ‐O)(μ‐O2CCF3)2(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2] and [Fe4(μ3‐O)2(μ‐O2CCF3)6(O2CCF3)2(C10H8N2)2]·CF3CO2H

Two new iron–oxo clusters, viz. di‐μ‐tri­fluoro­acetato‐μ‐oxo‐bis­[(2,2′‐bi­pyridine‐κ²N,N′)(tri­fluoro­acetato‐κO)­iron(III)], [Fe₂O(CF₃CO₂)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], and bis(2,2′‐bi­pyridine)­di‐μ₃‐oxo‐hexa‐μ‐tri­fluoro­acetato‐bis­(tri­fluoro­acetato)­tetrairon(III) tri­fluoro­acetic acid solvate, [Fe₄O₂(CF₃CO₂)₈(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·CF₃CO₂H, contain dinuclear and tetranuclear Fe^III cores, respectively. The Fe^III atoms are in distorted octahedral environments in both compounds and are linked by oxide and tri­fluoro­acetate ions. The tri­fluoro­acetate ions are either bridging (bidentate) or coordinated to the Fe^III atoms via one O atom only. The fluorinated peripheries enhance the solubility of these compounds. Formal charges for all the Fe centers were assigned by summing valences of the chemical bonds to the Fe^III atom.

The title compound was prepared by the reaction of Mo_3S_4(dtp)_4(H_2O)[ctp=S_2P(OEt)_2]with NaOAc·3H_2O and C_4H_8NCS_2NH_4.Crystallographic data:[Mo_3(μ_3-S)(μ-S)_2(μ-OAc)-(S_2CNC_4H_8)_3(O)_2]·0.5CH_2CI_2·2H_2O,Mr=980.18,triclinic,space group P,α=12.360(3),b=16.653(6),c=9.206(2)A,α=101.97(2),β=108.32(2),γ=86.14(3)°.V=1759.6(9)A~3,Z=2,Dc=1.85 g/cm~3,F(000)=962,μ(Mo K_α)=16.53 cm~(-1).Final R=0.044 for 4301 reflections with I≥3σ(I).This compoundmay be regarded as a mixed-valent trinuclear molybdenum cluster{Mo_2(V)Mo(Ⅳ)(μ_3-S)(μ-S)_2-(μ-OAc)(S_2CNC_4H_8)_3(O)_2}.The Mo-Mo distances are 2.783(1),2.833(1)and 3.374(2)A in the Mo_3non-equilateral triangle and there exist only two Mo-Mo bonds.The cluster was obtained by oxi-dation and ligand substitution of{Mo_3(μ_3-S)(μ-S)_3[μ-S_2P(OEt_2)][S_2P(OEt)_2]_3(H_2O)}.     

Poly[(μ2‐aqua‐κ2O:O)(μ3‐azido‐κ3N1:N1:N3)(μ2‐isonicotinato‐κ2O:O′)lead(II)]

In the title compound, [Pb(C₆H₄NO₂)(N₃)(H₂O)]_n, the Pb ion is seven‐coordinated by three N atoms from three azide ligands, two O atoms from two isonicotinate (inic) ligands and two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules, forming a distorted monocapped triangular prismatic coordination geometry. Each azide ligand bridges three Pb^II ions in a μ_1,1,3 coordination mode to form a two‐dimensional three‐connected 6³ topology network extending in the bc plane. The carboxylate group of the inic unit and the aqua ligand act as coligands to bridge Pb^II ions. Adjacent two‐dimensional layers are connected by hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the isonicotinate N atom and the water molecule, resulting in an extended three‐dimensional network. The title complex is the first reported coordination polymer involving a p‐block metal, an azide and a carboxylate.

Reactions of aqueous HX (X?Cl, Br) or of AuCl(PPh₃) with Ru₅(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂)(CO)₁₃ result in addition of the 4e-donor set (H + X) or (Au(PPh₃) + Cl) with concomitant opening of two Ru? Ru bonds to give complexes containing dimetallated triangular of ‘scorpion’ cores. Aqueous HI reacts similarly, but in this case the iodide ligand spans three Ru atoms, the (H + I) set acting as 6e-donor. The structures of the two title compounds were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic studies. Ru₅(μ-H)(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂)-(μ-Br)(CO)₁₃ is triclinic, space group P1 , a = 9.689(2), b = 11.874(2), c = 20.005(4) Å, α = 84.66(2), β = 82.90(6), λ = 67.51(6)°, Z = 2; 6478 data with I > 2σ(I) were refined to R = 0.0368, R_w = 0.0362. Ru₅(μ-H)(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ₃-I)(μ-PPh₂)-(CO)₁₂.CH₂Cl₂ is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 14.809(4), b = 20.721(4), c = 17.698(5) Å, β = 111.42(2)°, Z = 4; 7815 data with I > 2σ(I) were refined to R = 0.0440, R_w = 0.0416.

[Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)]: Synthesis, X‐ray Crystal Structure and Isomerization Na[Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₆(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 1 ) reacts with [NO][BF₄] at —60 °C in THF to the nitrosyl complex [Fe₂(CO)₆(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 2 ). The subsequent reaction of 2 with phosphanes (L) under mild conditions affords the complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(NO)L(μ‐P^tBu₂)], L = PPh₃, ( 3a ); η‐dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂), ( 3b ). In this case the phosphane substitutes one carbonyl ligand at the iron tetracarbonyl fragment in 2 , which was confirmed by the X‐ray crystal structure analysis of 3a . In solution 3b loses one CO ligand very easily to give dppm as bridging ligand on the Fe‐Fe bond. The thus formed compound [Fe₂(CO)₄(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ) occurs in solution in different solvents and over a wide temperature range as a mixture of the two isomers [Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4a ) and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4b ). 4a was unambiguously characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis while 4b was confirmed both by NMR investigations in solution as well as by means of DFT calculations. Furthermore, the spontaneous reaction of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ) with NO at —60 °C in toluene yields a complicated mixture of products containing [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 6 ) as main product beside the isomers 4a and 4b occuring in very low yields.     

Synthesis and the Unique Crystal Structure of [(H2O)⊂(DB18C6)(μ2‐H2O)2/2][(H3O)⊂(DB18C6)(μ2‐H2O)2/2]I3 (DB18C6 = dibenzo‐18‐crown‐6)

In the title compound 1 , the macrocylic ligand DB18C6 arranges to build two types of channels in which either only water or water and H₃O⁺ molecules are stacked to linear polymers. The counter ions, I₃^—, also form chains and fill in the spaces left between the parallel stacks of the crown ethers. Compound 1 should therefore possess interesting conducting properties and might as well serve as model for biological water channels.     

The new polynuclear titanium(IV) complex [(Cp*TiCl)(μ‐O)2(Cp*Ti)2(μ‐O)(μ‐O)2]2Ti (Cp* is η5‐C5Me5)

A new polynuclear titanium(IV) complex, dichloro­deca‐μ₂‐oxo‐hexa­kis­(penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl)hexa­titanium(IV), [Ti₆(C₁₀H₁₅)₆Cl₂O₁₀], has been synthesized by hydro­lysis of a titanium complex bearing an N‐(2‐hydr­oxy‐3,5‐dimethyl­benz­yl)diethano­lamine Mannich ligand. The mol­ecule has two O‐bridged Ti₃O₃ rings linked to two similar rings through a tetra­hedrally O‐coordinated Ti atom. All Ti atoms except the central one are coordinated to penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl (Cp*) ligands. The Cp* ligands are arranged with approximate symmetry with respect to the Ti/O/Cl core.
