Monodentate imido coordination of 1,2-diaminobenzene to rhenium(V)

The complex trans-[Re(dab)Cl₃(PPh₃)₂] (H₂dab?=?1,2-diaminobenzene) was prepared from the reaction of trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] with H₂dab in ethanol. The ligand dab is coordinated to the rhenium(V) centre only through a dianionic imido nitrogen to give a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the metal ion.     

Monodentate imido and bidentate aminophenolate coordination of 2-aminophenol in rhenium(V) complexes

Reactions of trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] and trans-[ReO(OEt)I₂(PPh₃)₂] with 2-aminophenol (H₂ap) in acetonitrile led to the formation of cis-[ReOCl₂(Hap)(PPh₃)] (1) and trans-[Re(ap)(Hap)I(PPh₃)₂]I (2), respectively. The X-ray crystal structures show that Hap is coordinated as a bidentate chelate via the neutral amino nitrogen and deprotonated phenolate oxygen, and ap is coordinated as a monodentate through the imido nitrogen. The complexes have been characterized by IR spectroscopy, NMR spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. The bite angle of the Hap chelate is 76.9(1)° and 76.0(1)° in 1 and 2, respectively.

A single-crystal X-ray crystal structure shows that ddd is coordinated as a monodentate through the doubly deprotonated amino nitrogen and is therefore present as an imide. The chelate Hddd is coordinated as a bidentate via a neutral amino nitrogen atom, trans to the imido nitrogen, and a singly deprotonated amido nitrogen atom, trans to the iodide.

Complex 1 could also be prepared in better yield by the reduction of [ReO₄]^? with PPh₃ in the presence of pbiH and hydrochloric acid. An X-ray crystallographic study showed that pbi is coordinated as a bidentate monoanionic chelate, with deprotonation of the imidazolyl NH group. The PPh₃ ligands are trans to each other.

The compound was characterized by spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Mps coordinates as a tridentate chelate via the doubly deprotonated 2-amino nitrogen (which is present in 1 as an imide), the neutral imino nitrogen and the phenolate oxygen atoms. The imide and phenolate oxygen atoms coordinate trans to each other in a distorted octahedral geometry around the rhenium(V) centre, with the two chlorides in cis positions.

The coordinated DPE ligand undergoes addition of water at the ethylenic carbon atoms, and the (C₅H₄N)CH(O)CH₂(C₅H₄N) moiety acts as a uninegative terdentate N,O,N-donor ligand. X-ray crystal structures of both complexes have been determined and show distorted octahedral geometry at the rhenium(V) centre.

The complex cis-[Re(apa)Cl₂(PPh₃)] (1) (H₃apa?=?N-(2-aminophenyl)salicylideneamine) was prepared by reaction of trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] with H₃apa in ethanol. Apa acts as a tridentate chelate ligand via the doubly deprotonated amino nitrogen (which is coordinated as an imide), the amino nitrogen and the deprotonated phenolic oxygen atoms. The two chlorides lie cis to each other in a distorted octahedral geometry around the rhenium(V) centre.     

Formation of an oxo-free rhenium(v) complex with 2-aminothiophenol

The reaction of a twofold molar excess of 2-aminothiophenol (H₂L) with trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] in benzene led to the isolation of the oxo-free rhenium(V) complex [ReCl(PPh₃)L₂] (1). IR, ¹H NMR and X-ray crystallographic results indicate that the ligands L coordinate in a dianionic amidothiolate form to the metal and that the complex has the unusual skew-trapezoidal bipyramidal geometry. The ligands L have an average bite angle of 78.8(1)°, with average Re–N and Re–S bond lengths equal to 1.978(5) and 2.297(1)?Å, respectively.

Abstract

Complexes of general formula MOCl₂[(C₅H₄N)₂C(O)(OR)] (M = Re, Tc; R = H, Et) were prepared by the reaction of trans-ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂ and (n-Bu₄N)[TcOCl₄] with di-(2-pyridyl)ketone (DPK) in ethanol (R = Et) under nitrogen and in benzene, containing trace amounts of water, in air (R = H). The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, vibrational, optical and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The evidence suggests that the coordinated DPK ligand has undergone addition of water and ethanol at the carbonylic carbon atom, and that the (C₅H₄N)₂C(o)(OR) moiety acts as a uninegative, terdentate N,O,N-donor ligand. The X-ray crystal structure of the complex ReOCl₂[(C₅H₄N)₂C(O)(OH)] is also reported. Crystal data: C₁₁H₉N₂O₃Cl₂Re, orthorhombic, space group Pcca; a = 14.935(5), b = 11.896(8), c = 14.937(11)Å, and U = 2653.8 (2.7)ų to give Z = 8 for D _calc = 2.37 g cm_?3. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by least-squares methods to R = 0.076. The complex has an Re = O bond distance of 1.67(2)Å, and a deprotonated diolate oxygen of the ligand is coordinated in the position trans to the oxo group.

In CH₂Cl₂ the solvent protonates the nitrido ligand to yield [Re(NH)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃][TaCl₆] as air-stable, reddish brown needles with the space group P2₁/n and a = 1213.8(3), b = 1358.0(2), c = 2165.9(4) pm, β = 92.88(1)°, Z = 4. The Re atom of the cation exhibits an octahedral coordination with the phosphine ligands in meridional arrangement. The imido ligand is in trans-position to a Cl atom with a distance Re–N = 170.4(4) pm. When the reaction is carried out in toluene the dinuclear nitrido complex [Re(NTaCl₅)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] is obtained instead. The reaction of ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ with VCl₃(THF)₃ in toluene affords the threenuclear complex [Re₂N₂Cl₄(PMe₂Ph)₅]VCl₃, which upon crystallization at air gives air-stable, reddish-brown crystals of [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂ReN]₂VOCl₂.

Complexes of cis -dihalogenorhenium(V) with iminophenol

Complexes cis-[ReOX₂(msa)(PPh₃)]?[X?=?Cl(1), I(2)] were prepared from trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] or trans-[ReOI₂(OEt)(PPh₃)²] with 2-(1-iminoethyl)phenol (Hmsa) in acetonitrile. An X-ray crystallographic study shows that the bonding distances and angles in 1 and 2 are nearly identical, and that the two halides in each complex are coordinated cis to each other in the equatorial plane cis to the oxo group. Rhenium(V) complexes with cis diiodides are rare. All bonding distances and angles are in the expected ranges.     

Different coordination modes of tetradentate Schiff bases in monomeric and dimeric oxorhenium(V) complexes

The reactions of the tetradentate amine-phenol type Schiff bases H₂sal₂en (1,2-ethylenebis(salicylideneimine) and H₂sal₂mp (1,2-benzylenebis(salicylideneimine)) with trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] or (n-Bu₄N)[ReOCl₄] in air gave the products (µ-O)[ReO(sal₂en)]₂ (1) and [ReOCl(sal₂mp)] (2), respectively. X-ray and spectroscopic studies have shown that 1 contains the linear O=Re–O–Re=O grouping, with the four donor atoms of sal₂en^2? coordinating in the square plane cis to the oxo ions. In 2, a cis oxo-chloro arrangement is observed with a phenolic oxygen being coordinated trans to the oxo group. The terminal Re=O bond lengths in 1 and 2 are 1.709(4) and 1.683(3)?Å, respectively.     

Single Crystal Growth and Crystal Structure of Mercurous Diarsenate(V), (Hg2)2(As2O7)

Polycrystalline mercurous diarsenate(V), (Hg₂)₂(As₂O₇), was prepared by a redox‐reaction between stoichiometric amounts of HgO and As₂O₃.

The crystal structure (orthorhombic, Pnma, Z = 4, a = 9.9803(8), b = 12.2039(10), c = 7.2374(6)Å) is composed of two crystallographically independent Hgequation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif dumbbells (d¯(Hg—Hg) = 2.5133Å) with a symmetric oxygen coordination sphere, and a diarsenate group with a staggered conformation and a bent bridging angle As—O—As = 121.0(7)°. The building units are arranged in a layer‐like assembly parallel to (010) and are connected via common oxygen atoms to form a three‐dimensional network.     

Rhenium(V) Complexes with Bidentate N,O-Donor Imidazole Derivatives

The reaction of a two-fold molar excess of the potential N,O-donor ligand 2-(hydroxymethyl)-1-methylimidazole (Hmi) with trans-[ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] led to the isolation of cis-[ReOCl₂(mi)(PPh₃)]. An X-ray structure determination indicated that the complex has distorted octahedral geometry, and that mi coordinates as a bidentate with the alcoholate oxygen trans to the oxo group. A similar reaction with 2-(1-ethyloxomethyl)-1-methylimidazole (eomi), the ethyl substituted analogue of Hmi, led to the formation of the oxo-bridged dinuclear complex [(μ-O){ReOCl₂(eomi)₂}₂]. The ligand eomi coordinates as a monodentate via the imidazole nitrogen, with the "hard" ether oxygen uncoordinated. An X-ray crystal structure indicates that the chlorides are trans to each other in the ReN₂Cl₂ planes, which are orthogonal to the O=Re-O-Re=O backbone.
