Phosphaniminato‐Cluster von Eisen. Die Kristallstrukturen von [FeCl(NPEt3)]4, [Fe(C=C–SiMe3)(NPEt3)]4 und [Fe3Cl4{NP(NMe2)3}3]

Phosphoraneiminato Cluster of Iron. The Crystal Structures of [FeCl(NPEt₃)]₄, [Fe(C=C–SiMe₃)(NPEt₃)]₄, and [Fe₃Cl₄{NP(NMe₂)₃}₃] The reaction of iron dichloride with the silylated phosphaneimine Me₃SiNPEt₃ in the presence of potassium fluoride at 165 ?C leads to the phosphoraneiminato complex [FeCl(NPEt₃)]₄ ( 1 ). Compound 1 forms black, moisture and oxygen sensitive crystals. According to the crystal structure analysis 1 has a heterocubane structure, in which the iron and the nitrogen atoms of the NPEt₃^– groups occupy the corners of a distorted cube and form Fe–N–Fe bond angles of 83.1? and N–Fe–N angles of 96.5?. This results in significantly short Fe…Fe contacts of 272.9 pm. The results of magnetic susceptibility measurements in the range of temperatures from 1.8 to 293 K and the ⁵⁷Fe‐Mössbauer spectra in the range of temperatures from 2 to 300 K are reported. Compound 1 reacts with the lithiated acetylenes LiC=C–CMe₃ and LiC=C–SiMe₃ in n‐hexane to form the iron‐organic derivatives [Fe(C=C–R)(NPEt₃)]₄ [R = CMe₃ ( 2 a ), R = SiMe₃ ( 2 b )] keeping the heterocubane structure. Compounds 2 a and 2 b form crystals which are very reactive and also black. According to the crystal structure analysis 2 b has a Fe₄N₄ heterocubane structure which is less distorted than that in 1 with bond angles Fe–N–Fe of 85.5? and N–Fe–N of 94.2?. This leads to the longer Fe…Fe contacts of 281.4 pm. With the dimethylamido derivative Me₃SiNP(NMe₂)₃ iron dichloride reacts under conditions similar to those in the synthesis of 1 to form the dark green mixed‐valenced Fe^II/Fe^III cluster [Fe₃Cl₄{NP(NMe₂)₃}₃] ( 3 ). According to the crystal structure analysis the three iron atoms in 3 are connected via one μ₃‐N atom of a NP(NMe₂)₃^– ligand, via two μ‐N atoms of the two remaining phosphoraneiminato ligands, and via one μ‐Cl atom to form an incomplete heterocubane skeleton.

Reaction Behaviour of Copper(I) and Copper(II) Salts Towards P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ‐ the Solid‐State Structures of {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}ClO₄, {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄, [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuONO₂ and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ The reaction behaviour of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) towards different copper(II) and copper(I) salts of the type CuX₂ ( 2a : X = BF₄, 2b : X = PF₆, 2c : X = ClO₄, 2d : X = NO₃, 2e : X = Cl, 2f : X = Br, 13 : X = O₂CMe) and CuX ( 5a : X = ClO₄, 5b : X = NO₃, 5c : X = Cl, 5d : X = Br) is discussed. Depending on X, the transition metal complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃Cu]X₂ ( 3a : X = BF₄, 3b : X = PF₆), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX}X ( 4 : X = ClO₄, 11a : X = Cl, 11b : X = Br, 14 : X = O₂CMe), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄ ( 6 ), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX ( 7a : X = Cl, 7b : X = Br, 10 : X = ONO₂), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ ( 9 ) and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuCl}CuCl₂ ( 12 ) are accessible. While in 3a , 3b and 6 the phosphane 1 preferentially acts as tetrapodale ligand, in all other species only the phosphorus atom and two of the three C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂ side‐arms are datively‐bound to the appropriate copper ion. In solution a dynamic behaviour of the latter species is observed. Due to the coordination ability of X in 3a , 3b and 6 non‐coordinating anions X^‐ are present. However, in 4 one of the two perchlorate ions forms a dative oxygen‐copper bond and the second perchlorate ion acts as counter ion to {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}⁺. In 7 , 9 and 10 the fragments X (X = Cl, Br, ONO₂) form a σ‐bond with the copper(I) ion. The acetate moiety in 14 acts as chelating ligand as it could be shown by IR‐spectroscopic studies. All newly synthesised cationic and neutral copper(I) and copper(II) complexes are representing stable species. Redox processes are involved in the formation of 9 and 12 by reacting 1 with 2 . The solid‐state structures of 4 , 6 , 9 and 10 are reported. In the latter complexes the copper(II) ( 4 ) or copper(I) ion ( 6 , 9 , 10 ) possesses the coordination number 4. This is achieved by the formation of a phosphorus‐ and two nitrogen‐copper‐ ( 4 , 9 , 10 ) or three ( 6 ) nitrogen‐copper dative bonds and a coordinating ( 4 ) or σ‐binding ( 9 , 10 ) ligand X. In 6 all three nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms are coordinatively bound to copper, while X acts as non‐coordinating counter‐ion. Based on this, the respective copper ion occupies a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. While in 4 and 10 a free, neutral Me₂NCH₂ side‐arm is present, which rapidly exchanges in solution with the coordinatively‐bound Me₂NCH₂ fragments, this unit is protonated in 10 . NO₃^‐ acts as counter ion to the CH₂NMe₂H⁺ moiety. In all structural characterized complexes 6‐membered boat‐like CuPNC₃ cycles are present.

The chloroarsanyl complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₃M–As(Cl)CH(SiMe₃)₂] [where M = Mo ( 9 ); M = W ( 10 )] resulted from the reaction of Na[M(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] (M = Mo, W) with Cl₂AsCH(SiMe₃)₂. The tungsten derivative 10 and Na[Co(CO)₄] underwent reaction to give the dinuclear μ‐arsinidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] ( 11 ). Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₃)₂}] ( 1 ) with an equimolar amount of ethereal HBF₄ gave rise to a 85/15 mixture of the saline complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η²‐tBu(H)P–P(F)CH(SiMe₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 18 ) and [Cp(CO)₂Mo{F₂PCH(SiMe₃)₂}(tBuPH₂)]BF₄ ( 19 ) by HF‐addition to the PC bond of the η³‐diphosphaallyl ligand and subsequent protonation ( 18 ) and/or scission of the PP bond by the acid ( 19 ). Consistently 19 was the sole product when 1 was allowed to react with an excess of ethereal HBF₄. The products 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 18 and 19 were characterized by means of spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR, MS). Moreover, the molecular structures of 6 , 11 and 18 were determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.

The molecular structures of 4b and 5a were elucidated by single crystal X‐ray analyses. Moreover, the reactivity of 4b towards ethereal HBF₄ was investigated.     

Stoichiometric vs Catalytic MeLi Reaction with the Mixture of (ẽ5‐C5H5)Fe(CO)2l and P(OR)3: Nucleophilic Methylation vs Arbuzov‐Like Dealkylation

The reaction of stoichiometric MeLi with the 1:1 mixture of (?⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂I/P(OR)₃ (R = Me, Et, and Ph) at ?78°C changes the bonding mode between metal and ring from (?⁵‐C₅H₅) to (?⁴‐exo‐MeC₅H₅) and the oxidation state of metal from Fe(II) to Fe(O), the novel complexes (?⁴‐exo‐MeC₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂P(C)R)₃ being obtained in 45‐57% yields. The reaction of trace MeLi with the 1:1 mixture of (?⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂I/P(OMe)₃ at ?78°C results in 70% yield of the phosphonate complex (?⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂P(O)(OMe)₂ which is an Arbuzov‐like dealkylation product from the cationic intermediate [(?⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂P(OMe)₃⁺] and the iodide. The amines could assist the Arbuzov‐like dealkylation of [(?⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂P(OMe)₃⁺] [PF₆^?] where iron‐carbamoyl intermediates are likely involved in the case of primary amines.

Zur Reaktivität der Ferriophosphaalkene [(η5‐C5Me5)(CO)2FeP=C(NR)R2] (NR = NMe2, NC5H10, R2 = Ph,tBu) gegenüber Protonsäuren,Alkylierungsmitteln und [{(Z)‐Cycloocten}Cr(CO)5]

Transition Metal‐substituted Phosphaalkenes. 42 Reactivity of the Ferriophosphaalkenes [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP=C(NR )R²] (NR = NMe₂, NC₅H₁₀, R² = Ph, t Bu) towards Protic Acids, Alkylation Reagents, and [{( Z )‐Cyclooctene}Cr(CO)₅] The reaction of equimolar amounts of [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP=C(NR )R²] ( 2 a : NR = NMe₂, R² = Ph; 2 b : NMe₂. tBu; 2 c : NC₅H₁₀, Ph) and etherial HBF₄ gave rise to the formation of [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(H)C(NR )R²] (BF₄) ( 3 a – c ) which were isolated as light red powders. Compounds 2 a – c were converted into [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(Me)C(NR )R²] (SO₃CF₃) ( 4 a – c ) by treatment with methyl trifluoromethane sulfonate. In addition 2 a and Me₃SiCH₂OSO₂CF₃ afforded light red [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP(CH₂SiMe₃)C(NMe₂)Ph](SO₃CF₃) ( 5 ). The black complex [(η⁵‐C₅Me₅)(CO)₂FeP{Cr(CO)₅}C(NMe₂)Ph] ( 6 ) resulted from the combination of 2 a with [{(Z)‐cyclooctene}Cr(CO)₅]. The novel products were characterized by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐ und ³¹P‐NMR).     

Neue Kupferkomplexe mit Phosphaalkenliganden. Molekülstruktur von [Cu{P(Mes*)C(NMe2)2}2]BF4 (Mes* = 2,4,6‐tBu3C6H2)

New Copper Complexes Containing Phosphaalkene Ligands. Molecular Structure of [Cu{P(Mes*)C(NMe₂)₂}₂]BF₄ (Mes* = 2,4,6‐tBu₃C₆H₂) Reaction of equimolar amounts of the inversely polarized phosphaalkene tBuP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1a ) and copper(I) bromide or copper(I) iodide, respectively, affords complexes [Cu₃X₃{μ‐P(tBu)C(NMe₂)₂}₃] ( 2 ) (X =Br) and ( 3 ) (X = I) as the formal result of the cyclotrimerization of a 1:1‐adduct. Treatment of 1a with [Cu(L)Cl] (L = PiPr₃; SbiPr₃) leads to the formation of compounds [CuCl(L){P(tBu)C(NMe₂)₂}] ( 4a ) (L = PiPr₃) and ( 4b ) (L = SbiPr₃), respectively. Reaction of [(MeCN)₄Cu]BF₄ with two equivalents of PhP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1b ) yields complex [Cu{P(Ph)C(NMe₂)₂}₂]BF₄ ( 5b ). Similarly, compounds [Cu{P(Aryl)C(NMe₂)₂}₂]BF₄ ( 5c (Aryl = Mes and 5d (Aryl = Mes*)) are obtained from ArylP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1c : Aryl = Mes; 1d : Mes*) and [(MeCN)₄Cu]BF₄ in the presence of SbiPr₃. Complexes 2 , 3 , 4a , 4b , and 5b‐5d are characterized by means of elemental analyses and spectroscopy (¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR). The molecular structure of 5d is determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.
