Tellurium-bridged manganese carbonyl clusters: synthesis and structural transformations of [Te4Mn3(CO10]-, [Te2Mn3(CO)9]2-, [Te2Mn3(CO)9]-, and [Te2Mn4(CO)12]2-

The reactions of appropriate ratios of K2TeO3 and [Mn2(CO)10)] in superheated methanol solutions lead to a series of novel cluster anions [Te4Mn3(CO)10] (1), [Te2Mn3(CO)9]2- (2), [Te2Mn3(CO)9]- (3), and [Te2Mn4(CO)12]2- (4). When cluster 1 is treated with [Mn2(CO)10]/KOH in methanol, paramagnetic cluster 2 is formed in moderate yield. Cluster 2 is oxidized by [Cu(MeCN)4]BF4 to give the closo-cluster [Te2Mn3(CO)9]- (3), while treatment of 2 with [Mn2(CO)10]/KOH affords the closo-cluster 4. IR spectroscopy showed that cluster 1 reacted with [Mn2(CO)10] to give cluster 4 via cluster 2. Clusters 1-4 were structurally characterized by spectroscopic methods or/and X-ray analyses. The core structure of 1 can be described as two [Mn(CO)3] groups doubly bridged by two Te2 fragments in a mu2-eta2 fashion. Both [Mn(CO)3] groups are further coordinated to one [Mn(CO)4] moiety. Cluster 2 is a 49 e- species with a square-pyramidal core geometry. While cluster 3 displays a trigonal-bipyramidal metal core, cluster 4 possesses an octahedral core geometry.

Ni[In{C(SiMe3)3}4]: An Organometallic Nickel–Indium Compound Analogous to [Ni(CO)4]

The highly symmetric title compound contains a Ni atom that is tetrahedrally coordinated by four alkylindium(I ) ligands InC(SiMe₃)₃. The ligand InR is isolobal with carbon monoxide, and the product is thus a remarkable addition to the class of [Ni(CO)₄] analogues.     

Stopped‐flow Spectrophotometric Study on the Reaction between Carbon Dioxide and [Co(NH3)4(H2O)2]3+ Ion in Aqueous Solution

Kinetics of the reaction of [tetraamminediaquacobalt(III)] perchlorate ion with carbon dioxide in aqueous solution was studied at various temperatures (5–25 °C), variable concentration of CO₂ (0.005M; 0.01M; 0.015M) and over the pH range 6.04–8.15 at a fixed ionic strength of solution (1 M NaClO₄). Investigations were carried out using stopped‐flow spectrophotometry in the range of 300 – 700 nm. The results enabled determination of the number of steps of the reaction studied. Based on the kinetic equations, rate constants were determined for each step. Finally, the mechanism of carbon dioxide uptake by [tetraamminediaquacobalt(III)] perchlorate ion was proposed and discussed.     

1,2-亚苯基二硫桥[FeFe]-氢化酶模拟物选择性光催化还原CO2至CO

利用基于非贵金属的分子催化剂通过光驱动催化CO2还原生成CO是将太阳能储存为化学能和缓解CO2温室效应的有效途径之一,具有重要的科学意义和潜在的应用前景.已报道的非贵金属分子催化剂,大多数对于光驱动CO2还原表现出缓慢的催化反应速率和/或对CO产物的低选择性,反应常常伴随着质子还原产氢反应,只有很少几种非贵金属分子催化剂对光催化CO2还原生成CO表现出高催化反应速率(>100 h?1)和高选择性.研究表明,双核过渡金属配合物由于分子中邻近的两个金属中心的协同催化作用,对于CO2还原生成CO的催化活性明显高于相应的单核配合物.因此,具有两个邻近的金属离子的非贵金属双核配合物有望作为CO2选择性还原的高效分子催化剂.我们最近的研究发现,具有刚性、共轭亚苯基二硫桥结构的[FeFe]-氢化酶模拟物[(μ-bdt)Fe2(CO)6](1,bdt=苯-1,2-二巯基)能够高活性、高选择性地光化学还原CO2至CO,而与其类似的模拟物[(μ-edt)Fe2(CO)6](2,edt=乙烷-1,2-巯基)则不具有光催化还原CO2活性,表明铁铁氢化酶模拟物中硫-硫桥的结构是影响模拟物的催化性能的重要结构因素之一.可见光照射1/[Ru(bpy)3]2+/BIH(BIH=1,3-二甲基-2-苯基-2,3-二氢-1H-苯并[d]-咪唑)体系4.5 h,1催化生成CO的循环数(TON)为710,在初始1 h的转化率(TOF)为7.12 min^-1,CO的选择性达到97%,内量子效率为2.8%.有趣的是,向体系中加入TEOA时可以调节1的催化选择性,光化学反应能够在CO2还原产生CO和质子还原产生H2之间进行切换.此外,采用稳态荧光和瞬态吸收光谱研究了光催化体系中的电子转移,提出可能的光催化反应机理.该研究结果揭示了刚性硫-硫桥结构的氢化酶模拟物对光化学CO2还原至CO的特殊催化活性,拓展了铁铁氢化酶模拟物的催化多功能性.     

Heteroatomic deltahedral clusters: synthesis and structures of closo-[Bi3Ni(4)(CO)6]3-, closo-[Bi4Ni4(CO)6]2-, the open cluster [Bi3Ni6(CO)9]3-, and the intermetalloid closo-[Nix@[Bi6Ni6(CO)8)]4-

Reactions of ethylenediamine solutions of K4Bi5 with Ni(PPh3)2(CO)2 yielded four novel hetero-atomic Bi/Ni deltahedral clusters. Three of them, the 7-atom pentagonal bipyramidal [Bi3Ni4(CO)6]3-, the 8-atom dodecahedral [Bi4Ni4(CO)6]2-, and the Ni-centered or empty 12-atom icosahedral [Nix@[Bi6Ni6(CO)8]4-, are closo-species according to both electron count and shape. The centered icosahedral cluster resembles packing in intermetallic compounds and belongs to the emerging class of intermetalloid clusters. The shape of the fourth cluster, [Bi3Ni6(CO)9]3-, can be derived from the icosahedral Ni-centered [Ni@[Bi6Ni6(CO)8]4- by removal of three Bi- and one Ni-atoms of two neighboring triangular faces. The clusters were structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction in compounds with potassium cations sequestered by 2,2,2-crypt or 18-crown-6 ether. They were also characterized in solution by electrospray mass spectrometry.

Sensitized photoreduction of cobalt(II) and iron(II). Structural characterization of [Co(CO)(o-C6H4[PPh2]2)2]PF6

Triplet-state ketones readily sensitized the photoreduction of bis(acetyl-acetonato)cobalt(II) or CO_solv²⁺ under atmospheric pressure of carbon monoxide to give Co(CO)₄⁻. The low-valent cobalt could be trapped and isolated as phosphine-substituted metal carbonyl complexes. The crystal structure of one of the products, [Co(CO)(o-C₆H₄[PPh₂]₂)₂]PF₆ has been determined. It is orthorhombic, space group Pbca, Z = 8, with unit cell dimensions a 19.704(5), b 24.850(13), c 21.865(9) Å. Phosphine-substituted iron(0) carbonyl complexes have also been isolated from similar photoreductions of iron(II) species.     

Tetracyanometallates with Complex Dien Cations: [Ni(dien)2][Ni(CN)4]·2H2O and [Ni(dien)2][Pd(CN)4]

The crystal structures of two square tetracyanocomplexes were determined. [Ni(dien)₂][Ni(CN)₄]·2H₂O (NDNCH) and [Ni‐(dien)₂][Pd(CN)₄] (NDPC) (dien = diethylene triamine) exhibit ionic structures consisting of mer‐[Ni(dien)₂]²⁺ cations and [Ni(CN)₄]^2‐ or [Pd(CN)₄]^2‐ anions, respectively. Moreover, the structure of NDNCH is completed by two water molecules of crystallisation. In both compounds hydrogen bonds contribute to the stabilisation of the structure. NDNCH dehydrates on air quickly yielding anhydrous [Ni(dien)₂][Ni(CN)₄] (NDNC). Its thermal decomposition proceeds in a complicated process followed by aerial oxidation of metallic nickel to NiO.     

How the [NiFe4S4] Cluster of CO Dehydrogenase Activates CO2 and NCO−

Ni,Fe‐containing CO dehydrogenases (CODHs) use a [NiFe₄S₄] cluster, termed cluster C, to reversibly reduce CO₂ to CO with high turnover number. Binding to Ni and Fe activates CO₂, but current crystal structures have insufficient resolution to analyze the geometry of bound CO₂ and reveal the extent and nature of its activation. The crystal structures of CODH in complex with CO₂ and the isoelectronic inhibitor NCO^? are reported at true atomic resolution (d_min≤1.1 Å). Like CO₂, NCO^? is a μ₂,η² ligand of the cluster and acts as a mechanism‐based inhibitor. While bound CO₂ has the geometry of a carboxylate group, NCO^? is transformed into a carbamoyl group, thus indicating that both molecules undergo a formal two‐electron reduction after binding and are stabilized by substantial π backbonding. The structures reveal the combination of stable μ₂,η² coordination by Ni and Fe2 with reductive activation as the basis for both the turnover of CO₂ and inhibition by NCO^?.     

The photochemistry of (η-2-R-C3H4)Fe(CO)(NO)(X) (R = H or Cl; X = CO or PPh3) in room temperature solution or frozen gas matrixes

A photochemical study of allyl iron complexes of the type, (η³-2-R-C₃H₄)Fe(CO)(NO)(X) (R = H or Cl; X = CO or PPh₃) is presented. These compounds were studied in solid matrixes at 20 K, and at room temperature, by a combination of laser flash at 355 nm and steady-state photolysis. The predominant photochemical process for these compounds is loss of a CO ligand. In addition, exhaustive irradiation of (η³-2-R-C₃H₄)Fe(CO)(NO)(PPh₃) with λ_exc > 300 nm provided evidence for a haptotropic shift of the allyl group from η³ to η¹ coordination.

[(4氮间杂六甲基十四烷环)~(-4)·2Mn~(2+)]·4HCl·[4氮间杂六甲基十四烷环)·2H_2O]的晶体结构已用单晶X线衍射技术测定完成。它属于三斜晶系,P_1空间群,晶胞参数a=9.028(2),b=11.055(2),c=12.202(4),α=71.70(2),B=88.41(2),γ=75.32(2)~°,Z=1。对于2597个可观察独立反射计算R=0.073。结构分析证实,该晶体存在有四类物种,由负4价的四氮间杂六甲基十四烷环(简称电负性大环Ⅱ),2个Mn~(2+)正离子,4个HCl分子和一个携带2个结晶水的4氮间杂六甲基十四烷环(简称电中性大环Ⅰ)组成。 4个HCl分子处于电负性大环Ⅱ的周围,大环Ⅱ和Mn~(2+)离子间按离子键特点取空间最稳定构型与电中性大环Ⅰ沿c方向周期性交替排布,构成四元包合物O~-、N~-、Cl~-等电负性强的离子之间形成很强的H键网。 六十年代以来,以四氨间杂六甲基十四烷环作配体,以Co~(2+)、Co~(3+)、Ni~(2+)等金属离子为络合中心的大环络合物,国外已有许多报导。这些结构的共同特点是大环配体的4个氮原子围绕金属离子以构成四配位或六配位结构,研究表明,络合以后金属的电子组态发生了变化。 近来,我们将Mn~(2+)与上述的配体反应,结果得到与上述结构绝然不同的化合物。NMR谱证实,该化合物中包含电中性和电负性两种大环。环伏安法测其锰离子是2价正离子(详见
