Heterometallatom-Koordinationsverbindungen Re2(μ-PPh2)2[mer-(CO)3]2-trans-[InX2(H2O)]2 und neue halogenhaltige drei- und vierkernige Rheniumcluster aus Reaktionen zwischen Re2[μ-PPh2)2(CO)8] und InX3 (X = Cl,Br, I)

Heterometallic Coordination Compounds Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂[mer-(CO)₃]₂-trans-[InX₂(H₂O)]₂ and New Halogene Containing Three- and Four-Nuclear Rhenium Clusters from Reactions between Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₈ and InX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) In sealed glass tubes equimolar amounts of Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₈ and InX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) were reacted in the presence of xylene at 220°C to two types of products. The first type comprised the heterometallic coordination compounds Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₆[InX₂(H₂O)]₂ (X = Cl, Br, I) (yield 60%), and the second halogene containing rhenium complexes Re₃(μ₃-H)(μ₃-X)(μ-PPh₂)₃(CO)₆ (unsaturated three-membered metal ring with 46 VE) and Re₄(μ-H)(μ-X)(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ and additionally those substances as cis-IRe(CO)₄(PPh₂H), Re₂(μ-PPh₂)(μ-X)(CO)₈ (X = Cl, Br), Re₂(μ-I)₂[μ-(PPh₂)₂O](CO)₆ and Re₄(μ-Cl)₂(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ (four-membered metal ring with 66 VE with three Re? Re bonds) which have been observed in one or two of the three reaction systems. A proposal of the reaction course is discussed. The single X-ray analysis of Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂[mer(CO)₃]₂-trans[InI₂(H₂O)]₂ · 2 Me₂CO shows for the two fold phosphido bridged dirhenium molecular fragment with 34 VE a Re? Re bond of 294.6(1) pm. From two possible transpositions of both In? Re bond vectors, the one found advantageously has sterical reasons. The average In? Re single bond length is 271.1(1) pm. The corresponding determination of the unsaturated three-membered ring compound Re₃(μ₃-H) (μ₃-Cl)(μ-PPh₂)₃(CO)₆ showed three Re? Re bond lenghts of comparable size, of which the mean value of 281.9(1) pm was significantly shortened by π electron delocalization effect compared to that of a saturated phosphido bridged three-membered rhenium ring compound. As it was recognized by further comparison, the structural data of the common molecular fragments in the three examined three-membered rhenium ring clusters (X = Cl, Br, I) are not dependent on the different kind of halogeno ligand atoms. Finally, the crystal structure determination of the substance Re₄(μ-H)(μ-Br)(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ shows the presence of square-pyramidal Re₄(μ₄-P) atomic arrangement, of which the planar basic plane has a sequence of up- and downwards orientated four diphenylphosphido bridging groups. The four measured Re? Re single bond lengths (mean value 302.7(3) pm change with the different kind of bridging atoms. The structural features observed are compared with those of a corresponding iodine derivative.

Synthese und Kristallstruktur eines μ-Methylen-μ-hydrido-dialanats [R2Al(μ-CH2)(μ-H)AlR2]− (R = CH(SiMe3)2)

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a μ-Methylene-μ-hydrido-dialanate [R₂Al(μ-CH₂)(μ-H)AlR₂]^? (R = CH(SiMe₃)₂) tert-Butyl lithium reacts with the recently synthesized methylene bridged dialuminium compound [(Me₃Si)₂CH]₂Al? CH₂? Al[CH(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 2 in the presence of TMEDA under β-elimination; the thereby formed hydride anion is bound in a chelating manner by both unsaturated aluminium atoms forming a 3c–2e–Al? H? Al bond. The crystal structure of the product shows two independent molecules differing only slightly in bond lengths and angles, but significantly in conformation. While one of the Al₂CH heterocycles deviates little from planarity with a rough C₂ symmetry for the whole anion, the other one is folded with an angle of 21.1° and the arrangement of the substituents is best described by C_s symmetry.
