The reaction of CpMo(CO)₃X (X = Cl, I) with SbF₅ in toluene leads to the cationic, halogen bridged compounds [{CpMo(CO)₃}₂X]SbF₆ ( 1 , 2 ). CpW(CO)₃Cl reacts with SbF₅ to yield [{CpW(CO)₃}₂Cl]SbF₆ ( 3 ), whereas with SbCl₅, the oxidative substitution product [{CpW(CO)₂Cl₂}₂Cl]SbCl₆ ( 4 ) is formed, which decomposes in solution to yield the trichloride CpW(CO)₂Cl₃ ( 5 ). The strong Lewis acid SbF₅ separates the halide from CpM(CO)₃X (M = Mo, W), and the resulting cationic fragment “CpM(CO)₃⁺” reacts with a further CpM(CO)₃X forming a halonium bridge ( 1 – 3 ). The exclusive formation of SbF₆^– can be explained by the oxidizing power of SbF₅. The IR, MS and NMR spectra of the compounds 1 – 5 as well as the X‐ray structure analysis of 5 are reported and discussed.

Die Orientierung der Re2Cl82–‐Ionen in (PPh4)2[Re2Cl8] · 2 L (L = Acetonitril,Dichlormethan)

The Orientation of the Re₂Cl₈^2– Ions in (PPh₄)₂[Re₂Cl₈] · 2 L (L = Acetonitrile, Dichloromethane) (PPh₄)₂[Re₂Cl₈] · 2 MeCN was obtained in small yields from PPh₄Cl and ReCl₅ in the presence of Na₂S₄ or K₂S₅ in acetontrile. Its crystal structure was determined by X‐ray diffraction. The crystals are nearly isotypic with those of (PPh₄)₂[Re₂Cl₈] · 2 CH₂Cl₂. The PPh₄⁺ ions, the solvent molecules, and the chlorine atoms occupy nearly identical positions in both triclinic structures. Nevertheless, 98% of the Re≡Re groups are differently oriented within the slightly elongated Cl₈ cubes surrounding them. The space requirement of the elongated cubes seems to be more important for the orientation than electrostatic forces. The PPh₄⁺ ions form (PPh₄⁺)₂ pairs around inversion centers.     

[Rb2(H2O)2][Re3(μ-Cl)3Br7(H2O)2]2 · H2O,ein gemischtes Halogenid-Hydrat mit anionischen Dimeren {[Re3(μ-Cl)3Br7(H2O)2]2 · H2O}2−

The reaction of CpFe(CO)₂X (X = Cl, Br, I) with SbY₅ (Y = F, Cl) in toluene leads to the cationic, halogen‐bridged compounds [{Cp(CO)₂Fe}₂X]SbY₆ ( 1 – 6 ). The halide of CpFe(CO)₂X is eliminated by the Lewis acid SbY₅, and the fragment “CpFe(CO)₂⁺” reacts with further CpFe(CO)₂X to form the halogen bridge between both the organometallic substituents. The exclusive formation of the counter anion SbY₆^– is caused by the oxidizing action of the antimony pentahalides, by which SbY₃ and the interhalogens XY are always obtained.

They show decreasing bond angles Fe–X–Fe following the range Cl → Br → I and the VSEPR concept; the two CpFe(CO)₂ groups are staggered with the dihedral angle Cp(centre)–Fe–Fe–Cp(centre) of about 160°.

Synthesis of Phosphido Chalcogenido Bridged Dirhenium Complexes of the Type Re₂(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐ER)(CO)₈ (E = S, Se, Te; R = org. Residue) The reaction of Re₂(μ‐Br)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₈ with nucleophiles MER (M = Na, Li; E = S, Se, Te; R = org. residue) gives via substitution of the bromido bridge phosphido chalcogenido bridged dirhenium complexes of the general formula Re₂(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐ER)(CO)₈. The new compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic data and by elemental analyses. In addition the molecular structures for E = S, Se, Te and R = Ph as well as for E = S and R = H, n‐Bu, 2‐pyridyl have been established by single crystal X‐ray analysis. ¹³C NMR spectra of Re₂(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐EPh)(CO)₈ (E = S, Se, Te) prove that the sulfur and selenium compounds are at room temperature dynamic molecules due to inversion of the pyramidal chalcogenido bridge. The tellurium compound, however, is rigid on the time scale of ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. Eventually the reactivity of the SH function of the novel complex Re₂(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐SH)(CO)₈ was investigated by reaction with Re₂(CO)₈(MeCN)₂. In toluene at 90 °C the novel spirocyclic complex Re₂(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₈(μ₄‐S)Re₂(μ‐H)(CO)₈ was formed by SH oxidative addition.

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von (PPh4)2[In(S4)(S6)Cl] und (PPh4)2[In(S4)Cl3]

Synthesis and Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)(S₆)Cl] and (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)Cl₃] InCl and PPh₄Cl yield (PPh₄)₂[In₂Cl₆] in acetonitrile. This reacts with Na₂S₄ in presence of PPh₄Cl, forming (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)(S₆)Cl]. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction (R = 0.075, 2 282 observed reflexions). It is isotypic with (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)(S₆)Br] and contains anions with trigonal-bipyramidal coordination of In, Cl occupying an axial position, and the S₄ and S₆ groups being bonded in a chelate manner. The reaction of (PPh₄)₂[In₂Cl₆] and sulfur in acetonitrile yielded (PPh₄)₂[InCl₅] and (PPh₄)₂[In(S₄)Cl₃]. The crystal structure analysis of the latter (R = 0.072, 4 080 reflexions) revealed an anion with distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination of In, the S₄ group occupying one axial and one equatorial position; the S₄ group shows positional disorder.
