Synthesis and conformational analysis of α-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-substituted sulfur-bridged iron carbonyl complexes (μ-RS)(μ-EtOC(O)CH2S)Fe2(CO)6

A series of iron-sulfur cluster complexes (μ-RS) (μ-EtOC(O)CH₂S)Fe₂(CO)₆ (A) have been synthesized by reductive cleavage of an S-S bond of μ-S₂Fe₂(CO)₆ with Grignard reagents, followed by nucleophilic substitution of the intermediates, (μ-RS) (μ-XMgS)Fe₂(CO)₆ (B) toward ClCH₂C(O)OEt. The complexes (A) may be also synthesized by CF₃COOH-acidolysis of (B), followed by condensation of (μ-RS) (μ-HS)Fe₂(CO)₆ (C) with ClCH₂C(O)OEt in the presence of Et₃N. For the former method, the manipulations are more convenient and the starting materials are more easily available and much cheaper. Through conformational analysis, it has been shown that each of the complexes is a mixture of either three conformers of ae, ee and ea or two conformers in a given ratio.     

A Deeper Insight in Solutions Containing the Hypothetical Labile Complex Species “Fe(CO)4THF”

In the literature it was proposed that the treatment of [Fe₂(CO)₉] in THF resulted, during dissolution, in deep red solutions which should presumably contain labile complexes “Fe(CO)₄THF”. This was supported by the fact that such solutions afforded, in the presence of N‐donor ligands like pyridine (py) or pyrazine (pz), metal carbonyl complexes of the formula [Fe(CO)₄(py)] and [Fe(CO)₄(pz)], respectively. Herein we describe how the true nature of these solutions can be better explained by a valence‐disproportionation reaction of the diiron nonacarbonyl, induced by the donor solvent THF, resulting in the compound [Fe(THF)₆][Fe₃(CO)₁₁]. The formation of the undecacarbonyl‐triferrate(2–) in such solutions was unambiguously confirmed by IR spectroscopy and by the isolation and crystallization of the corresponding salt (PPN)₂[Fe₃(CO)₁₁]; its molecular structure was determined, however, already described in the literature.     

Synthesis of [(μ-RS)(μ-S){Fe2(CO)6}2(μ4-S)] and their reactivity toward electrophiles

Reaction of the Et₃NH⁺ salts of the [(μ-RS)(μ-CO)Fe₂(CO)₆]⁻ anions (R=Bu^t, Ph or PhCH₂) with (μ-S₂)Fe₂(CO)₆ gives reactive intermediates [(μ-RS)(μ-S){Fe₂(CO)₆}₂(μ₄-S)]⁻. Reactions of the latter with alkyl halides, acid chlorides and Cp(CO)₂FeI have been studied. X-Ray structure of (μ-Bu^tS)(μ-PhCH₂S)[Fe₂(CO)₆]₂(μ₄-S) was determined.     

Bioinspired polymer functionalized with a diiron carbonyl model complex and its assembly onto the surface of a gold electrode via “click” chemistry

A complex pendant with two ethynyl groups, [Fe₂(μ‐SCH₂CCH)₂(CO)₆] ( 2 ), as a model of the diiron subunit of [FeFe]‐hydrogenase was polymerized and the {Fe₂(CO)₆} core was successfully incorporated into the polymer matrix. The polymer was characterized by a variety of spectroscopic techniques, TGA, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and NMR. The resultant polymer was immobilized via “click” chemistry using its terminal C?CH bond onto the surface of a gold electrode, which was premodified with azidothiol by self‐assembled monolayer (SAM). The assembled electrode showed electrochemical responses. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 48: 2410–2417, 2010     

Heteronuclear Nickel‐Iron Complexes and the Crystal Structure of [Fe2(CO)6(μ3‐S)2{Ni(dppe)}]

A series of heteronuclear nickel‐iron complexes [Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐SH)(μ₃‐S){NiCl(PPh₃)₂}] ( 1 ), [Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐SH)(μ₃‐S){NiCl(dppe)}] ( 2 ), [Fe₂(CO)₆(μ₃‐S)₂{Ni(PPh₃)₂}] ( 3 ), [Fe₂(CO)₆(μ₃‐S)₂{Ni(dppe)}] ( 4 ) and [Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐SPh)(μ₃‐S){NiCl(dppe)}] ( 5 ) have been prepared. The structure of 4 has been determined by X‐ray crystallography. The central metal‐sulfur core of 4 has a trigonal bipyramidal shape with a NiFe₂ base plane with two axial sulfur atoms. Each iron atom is 5‐coordinate forming a distorted square pyramid; the nickel is square planar coordinated by two sulfur atoms and two phosphorus atoms.     

The Controlled Formation and Cleavage of an Intramolecular d8–d8 Pt–Pt Interaction in a Dinuclear Cycloplatinated Molecular “Pivot‐Hinge”

The bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm)‐bridged dinuclear cycloplatinated complex {[Pt(L)]₂(μ‐dppm)}²⁺ (Pt₂ ? dppm; HL: 2‐phenyl‐6‐(1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)‐pyridine) demonstrates interesting reversible “pivot‐hinge”‐like intramolecular motions in response to the protonation/deprotonation of L. In its protonated “closed” configuration, the two platinum(II) centers are held in position by intramolecular d⁸–d⁸ Pt–Pt interaction. In its deprotonated “open” configuration, such Pt–Pt interaction is cleaved. To further understand the mechanism behind this hingelike motion, an analogous dinuclear cycloplatinated complex, {[Pt(L)]₂(μ‐dchpm)}²⁺ (Pt₂ ? dchpm) with bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane (dchpm) as the bridging ligand, was synthesized. From its protonation/deprotonation responses, it was revealed that aromatic π–π interactions between the phenyl moieties of the μ‐dppm and the deprotonated pyrazolyl rings of L was essential to the reversible cleavage of the intramolecular Pt–Pt interaction in Pt₂ ? dppm. In the case of Pt₂ ? dchpm, spectroscopic and spectrofluorometric titrations as well as X‐ray crystallography indicated that the distance between the two platinum(II) centers shrank upon deprotonation, thus causing a redshift in its room‐temperature triplet metal–metal‐to‐ligand charge‐transfer emission from 614 to 625 nm. Ab initio calculations revealed the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the deprotonated and negatively charged 1‐pyrazolyl‐N moiety and the methylene CH and phenyl C–H of the μ‐dppm. The “open” configuration of the deprotonated Pt₂ ? dppm was estimated to be 19 kcal mol^?1 more stable than its alternative “closed” configuration. On the other hand, the open configuration of the deprotonated Pt₂ ? dchpm was 6 kcal mol^?1 less stable than its alternative closed configuration.     

“Half‐Bonds” in an Unusual Coordinated S42− Rectangle

Don′t be square! A rare S₄^2? rectangle bridging two M₂Cp₂(μ₂‐CH₂)₂ (M=Rh, Ir) fragments is found to contain two “half‐bonds” with S? S distances of 2.70 or 2.90 Å. Computational studies explore the connection between these “half‐bonds” and a Jahn–Teller distortion, as well as possible intermediates that form M₄S₄²⁺ clusters having the S₄^2? rectangle rotated by 90°.

     

Transition metal carbene complexes: IV. Synthesis and crystal structure of a novel iron-sulfur cluster carbene complex of rhenium—π-cyclopentadienyl(dicarbonyl)-{phenyl[(μ-phenylthio)hexacarbonyldiiron-(μ-thio)]carbene}rhenium

π-Cyclopentadienyl(dicarbonyl)(phenylcarbyne)rhenium-tetrabromoborate, [π-C₅H₅(CO)₂-ReCC₄H₅]BBr₄ (3), at low temperature reacts with (μ-phenylthio) (μ-thiolato)hexacarbonyldiiron anion, (μ-C₆H₅S) (μ-LiS)Fe₂(CO)₆ (2), to give π-cyclopentadienyl (dicarbonyl){phenyl[(μ-phenylthio)hexacarbonyldiiron (μ-thio)] carbene} rhenium, π-C₅H₅(CO)₂ReC(C₆H₅)(μ-S)(μ-C₆H₅S)Fe₂(CO)₆ (4). The complex 4 was identified by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectra, and finally confirmed by its single crystal X-ray structure determination. The results from spectroscopic experiments and X-ray diffraction were discussed.     

Über Oxide mit dem “Butterfly-Motiv”: Rb6[Fe2O5] und K6[Fe2O5]

New Oxides with the “Butterfly-Motive”: Rb₆[Fe₂O₅] and K₆[Fe₂O₅] Rb₆[Fe₂O₅] and K₆[Fe₂O₅] were obtained for the first time by annealing intimate mixtures of “Rb₆CdO₄” with CdO (molar ratio 1 : 1.1) and KO_0.48 with CdO (molar ratio 5.9 : 1) respectively in closed Fe-cylinders. Determination and refinement of the crystalstructure confirms the space group C2/m (four-circle-diffractometer data). Rb₆[Fe₂O₅]: Ag Kα , 720 out of 1220 Io(hkl), R = 9.68%, R_w = 6.09%; a = 718.9pm, b = 1183.1 pm, c = 695.4pm, β = 95.05°, Z = 2; K₆[Fe₂O₅]: MoKα , 1214 Out of 12141_o(hkl), R = 3.20070, R_w = 2.48%, a = 691.21 pm, b = 1142.78pm, c = 665.50pm, β = 93.82°, Z = 2. The binuclear unit [O₂FeOFeO₂]^6? already known to be planar with oxoferrates(II) now was observed to be angular here and closely related to Na₆[Be₂O₅].     

Transition metal complexes of azo compounds V. Complexation and cleavage of the NN bond of diazirines by iron carbonyls

3,3-Dimethyldiazirine and 3,3-pentamethylenediazirine, R₂CN₂, react with enneacarbonyldiiron initially via N-tetracarbonyl intermediates to give dark blue μ-1,2-diazirine-bis(tetracarbonyliron) complexes and small amounts of an Fe₃(CO)₉-cluster of the diazirine. Depending upon the solvent, further reaction may take place by splitting of the NN bond to yield orange (R₂CN)Fe₂(CO)₆(NCR₂) and red (R₂CN)Fe₂(CO)₆(NCO), which contain bridging ketiminato and isocyanato groups. Formation of the latter complexes probably involves “nitrenic” intermediates. A general scheme is proposed for the reactions of the cis-azo group of cyclic azo compounds with iron carbonyls which permits estimation of the product ratio as a function of the ring size of the parent azo ligand. (R₂CN)Fe₂(CO)₆(NCO) adds methanol at room temperature to give (R₂CN)Fe₂(CO)₆(NHCO₂Me).     

Synthesis,Structure and Magnetic Property of an “Adamantane” Type Tetranuclear Iron(III) Complex

A new tetranuclear complex [Fe₄ L ₂(μ‐O)₂(μ‐>OH)₂](ClO₄)₄·H₂O ( 1 ), (H L = N,N,N′,N′‐tetrakis‐[(2‐pyridyl)methyl]‐2‐hydroxypropane‐1,3‐diamine) has been synthesized and its crystal structure and magnetic properties are shown. X‐ray crystallography reveals that complex 1 contains a quadruply‐charged, tetranuclear iron(III) cation and four perchlorate anions. In 1 , the Fe₄O₆ core is composed of a tetrahedron of iron atoms bridged by six oxygen atoms (two oxo, two hydroxo, and two alkoxo groups from L ). This results in an adamantane‐type geometry with the iron atoms occupying the bridgehead positions. Susceptibility data of 1 indicate strong intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling of high‐spin Fe^III atoms.     

Synthesis of clusters Fe2(CO)6(μ-XCH2CH=CH2)(μ3-X)Fe(CO)2Cp (X = Se, S; Cp = η5-C5H5)

The clusters Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-XCH₂CH=CH₂)(μ₃-X)Fe(CO)₂Cp (X = S, Se) were prepared by the successive treatment of the bi- and trimetallic complexes Fe₂(CO)₆(μ-Se₂) and Fe₃(CO)₉(μ₃-X) with allylmagnesium chloride and CpFe(CO)₂I. The clusters obtained contain a noncoordinated C=C bond. The structure of the Se-containing cluster was suggested on the basis of comparison of its spectral data (IR,¹H NMR, and Mössbauer spectra) with the spectra of the analogous S-containing complex, which was previously characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Study on the kinetics of isomerization of some unsymmetrical bis(μ-alkylthio) hexacarbonyldiiron by NMR method

The kinetics of the isomerization of (μ-PhCH₂S) (μ-RS)Fe₂(CO)₆ (R?Me, Et) and (μ-PhCH₂S) (μ-t-BuS)Fe₂(CO)₆ has been studied by conventional and dynamic NMR methods respectively. A possible mechanism for the reaction has been proposed and the factors which influence the reaction rate have been discussed.     

Syntheses of Novel Fe/S Clusters with μ‐Aminocarbyne Ligands

The reaction of Fe₃(CO)₁₂ with (C₃H₅)₂NCS₂K in THF at room temperature afforded a red‐brown solution. Treatment of the thus‐obtained solution with MeI and PhCH₂Br afforded clusters 1 , (μ‐MeS)Fe₂(CO)₆(μ₄‐S)Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐CN(C₃H₅)₂), and 2 , (μ‐PhCH₂CO)Fe₂(CO)₆(μ₄‐S)Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐CN(C₃H₅)₂). Their structures were unambiguously determined by X‐ray crystallography. Therefore, this methodology provides a novel route for the syntheses of spiro‐S Fe/S clusters with aminocarbyne ligands.     

Electron‐Rich Diferrous–Phosphane–Thiolates Relevant to Fe‐only Hydrogenase: Is Cyanide “Nature's Trimethylphosphane”?

The two‐step one‐pot oxidative decarbonylation of [Fe₂(S₂C₂H₄)(CO)₄(PMe₃)₂] ( 1 ) with [FeCp₂]PF₆, followed by addition of phosphane ligands, led to a series of diferrous dithiolato carbonyls 2 – 6 , containing three or four phosphane ligands. In situ measurements indicate efficient formation of 1 ²⁺ as the initial intermediate of the oxidation of 1 , even when a deficiency of the oxidant was employed. Subsequent addition of PR₃ gave rise to [Fe₂(S₂C₂H₄)(μ‐CO)(CO)₃(PMe₃)₃]²⁺ ( 2 ) and [Fe₂(S₂C₂H₄)(μ‐CO)(CO)₂(PMe₃)₂(PR₃)₂]²⁺ (R=Me 3 , OMe 4 ) as principal products. One terminal CO ligand in these complexes was readily substituted by MeCN, and [Fe₂(S₂C₂H₄)(μ‐CO)(CO)₂(PMe₃)₃(MeCN)]²⁺ ( 5 ) and [Fe₂(S₂C₂H₄)(μ‐CO)(CO)(PMe₃)₄(MeCN)]²⁺ ( 6 ) were fully characterized. Relevant to the H_red state of the active site of Fe‐only hydrogenases, the unsymmetrical derivatives 5 and 6 feature a semibridging CO ligand trans to a labile coordination site.     

“Complex” versus “free radical” mechanism for the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 by ferric ions

Kinetic and spectrophotometric measurements made during the Fe³⁺ ion catalyzed decomposition of H₂O₂ have been analyzed using the computer simulation method. Improved values of the rate constants of the “complex scheme” and of the molar absorptivities ofthe intermediates were obtained: k₃/K_M = 4.94 M^?1 min^?1, k₄ = 193 M^?1 min^?1, ε_I/K_M = 52.3 M^?2 cm^?1, ε_II = 25.7 M^?1 cm^?1. The simulation revealed details of the reaction which were unavailable by other means and which explained several features of its kinetics. The total amount of O₂ evolved in the reaction using [H₂O₂] ～ 10^?2 M has been calculated and found to be nearly stoichiometric. O₂ evolution experiments in this region cannot, thus, distinguish between the “complex mechanism” predicting nearly stoichiometric evolution of O₂ and the “free radical mechanism” predicting exactly stoichiometricamounts of O₂. There are discrepancies within the “free radical scheme” with regard to the correct values of the rate constants to fit the reactions of H₂O₂ both with Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions, as well as other reactions assumed to proceed via free radicals.     

Sulfur-bridged dimers obtained from μ-dithiobis(tricarbonyliron)

The reaction of SO₂Cl₂ with (μ-MS)(μ-ArS)Fe₂(CO)₆ (M = Li; Ar = Ph and M = MgBr; Ar = p-tolyl) results in oxidation of the latter and formation of SS bonded “dimers”. The “dimer” where Ar = Ph crystallizes in the space group P$\text{1}$ with a 10.584(4), b 11.247(1), c 14.275(3) Å, α 104.20(2), β 90.80(4), γ 98.12(2)°, V 1629 ų and Z = 2. Full matrix least-squares refinement yields a final R value of 4.4% based on 3986 independent reflections. The central SS bond is longer than that in elemental sulfur or in (μ-S₂)Fe₂(CO)₆.     

Two Fe3(μ3‐S)2(CO)8 clusters with terminal N‐heterocyclic carbenes

The title compounds with terminal N‐heterocyclic carbenes, namely octacarbonyl(imidazolidinylidene‐κC²)di‐μ₃‐sulfido‐triiron(II)(2 Fe—Fe), [Fe₃(C₃H₆N₂)(μ₃‐S)₂(CO)₈], (I), and octacarbonyl(1‐methylimidazo[1,5‐a]pyridin‐3‐ylidene‐κC³)di‐μ₃‐sulfido‐triiron(II)(2 Fe—Fe), [Fe₃(C₈H₈N₂)(μ₃‐S)₂(CO)₈], (II), have been synthesized. Each compound contains two Fe—Fe bonds and two S atoms above and below a triiron triangle. One of the eight carbonyl ligands deviates significantly from linearity. In (I), dimers generated by an N—H...S hydrogen bond are linked into [001] double chains by a second N—H...S hydrogen bond. These chains are packed by a C—H...O hydrogen bond to yield [101] sheets. In (II), dimers generated by an N—H...S hydrogen bond are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form [111] double chains.     

Octadecanuclear Gear Wheels by Self‐Assembly of Self‐Assembled “Double Saddle”‐Type Coordination Entities: Molecular “Rangoli”

A series of self‐assembled “double saddle”‐type trinuclear complexes of [Pd₃L′₃ L ₂] formulation have been synthesized by complexation of a series of cis‐protected palladium(II) components with a slightly divergent “E‐shaped” non‐chelating tridentate ligand, 1,1′‐(pyridine‐3,5‐diyl)bis(3‐(pyridin‐3‐yl)urea ( L ). The cis‐protecting agents L′ employed in the study are ethylenediamine (en), tetramethylethylenediamine (tmeda), 2,2′‐bipyridine (bpy), and 1,10‐phenanthroline (phen), for 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4 , respectively. The crystal structures of [Pd₃(tmeda)₃( L )₂](NO₃)₆ ( 2 ), [Pd₃(bpy)₃( L )₂](NO₃)₆ ( 3 ), and [Pd₃(phen)₃( L )₂](NO₃)₆ ( 4 ) unequivocally support the new architecture. Two of the “double saddle”‐type complexes ( 3 and 4 ) are suitably crafted with π surfaces at the strategically located cis‐protecting sites to facilitate intermolecular π–π interactions in the solid state. As a consequence, six units of the 3 (or 4 ) are assembled, by means of six‐pairs of π–π stacking interactions, in a circular geometry to form an octadecanuclear molecular ring of [(Pd₃L′₃ L ₂)₆] composition. The overall arrangement of the rings in the crystal packing is equated with the traditional Indian art form rangoli.
