Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Properties of the Complexes [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)], [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)], [(Ph₃Sb)₂Cl₃Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] and [{(Me₂PhP)₂(CO)Cl₂Re≡N}₂ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] The dinuclear complexes [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)]·H₂O ( 1 ·H₂O), [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N‐IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)] ( 2 ), and [(Ph₃Sb)₂Cl₃Os≡N‐IrCl(COD)] ( 3 ) result from the reaction of the nitrido complexes [(Ph₃As)₂OsNCl₃] and [(Ph₃Sb)₂OsNCl₃] with the iridium compounds [IrCl₂(C₅Me₅)]₂ and [IrCl(COD)]₂ in dichloromethane. 1 crystallizes as 1 ·H₂O in form of green platelets in the monoclinic space group Cm and a = 1105.53(6); b = 1486.76(9); c = 2024.88(10) pm, β = 97.191(4)°, Z = 4. The formation of 1 in air involves a ligand exchange, and the coordination of a water molecule in trans position to the Os‐N triple bond. The resulting complex fragments [(H₂O)Cl₄Os≡N] and [IrCl(C₅Me₅)(AsPh₃)] are connected by an asymmetric nitrido bridge Os≡N‐Ir. The nitrido bridge is characterised by an Os‐N‐Ir bond angle of 173.7(7)°, and distances Os‐N = 168(1) pm and Ir‐N = 191(1) pm. 2 crystallizes in clumped together brown platelets with the space group and a = 1023.3(3), b = 1476.2(3), c = 1872.5(6) pm, α = 74.60(2), β = 73.84(2), γ = 76.19(2)°, Z = 2. In 2 the asymmetric nitrido bridge Os≡N‐Ir joins the two complex fragments [(Ph₃Sb)Cl₄Os≡N] and [IrCl(C₅Me₅)(SbPh₃)], which are formed by a ligand exchange reaction. 3 forms dark green crystals with the triclinic space group and a = 1079.4(1), b = 1172.3(1), c = 1696.7(2) pm, α = 101.192(9),β = 92.70(1), γ = 92.61(1)°, Z = 2. The distances in the almost linear nitrido bridge (Os≡N‐Ir = 175.3(7)°) are Os‐N = 171(1) pm and Ir‐N = 183(1) pm. The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [Mo(CO)₃(NCMe)₃] unexpectedly affords the trinuclear complex [{(Me₂PhP)₂(OC)Cl₂Re≡N}₂ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] ( 4 ) as the main product. It forms triclinic brown crystals with the composition 4 ·2THF and the space group (a = 1382.70(7), b = 1498.58(7), c = 1760.4(1) pm, α = 99.780(7), β = 99.920(7), γ = 114.064(6)°, Z = 2). In the trinuclear complex, the central fragment, [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)] is joined in trans position to two nitrido complexes [(Me₂PhP)₂(CO)Cl₂Re≡N], giving an almost linear Re≡N‐Re‐N≡Re arrangement. The bond angles and distances in the nitrido bridges are Re‐N‐Re = 167.8(3)°, Re‐N = 171.1(8) pm and 204.2(8) pm; and Re‐N‐Re = 168.1(4)°, Re‐N = 170.9(9) and 203.5(9) pm respectively. As expected, the Re‐N bond length to the terminal nitrido ligand on the central Re atom is much shorter at 161.2(9) pm than the triple bonds of the asymmetric bridges.

Synthese,Struktur und Photolyse von Isocyanatokomplexen des Rheniums

Synthesis, Structure, and Photolysis of Isocyanato Complexes of Rhenium The Re^III isocyanato complex Re(NCO)₃(PMe₂Ph)₃ yields from the reaction of ReCl₃(PMe₂Ph)₃ with an excess of NaOCN in EtOH. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 991.8(6), b = 1180.7(6), c = 1348.8(5) pm, α = 89.85(1)°, β = 94.12(1), γ = 111.56(1)°, Z = 2. In the mononuclear complex with an octahedral coordination of the Re atoms the phosphine and isocyanato ligands exhibit a meridional arrangement. By using a deficient amount of NaOCN the mono isocyanato complex Re(NCO)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ is formed, and part of the educt is transformed to its isomer [(Me₂PhP)₃Re(μ-Cl)₃Re(PMe₂Ph)₃]Cl₃. The mono isocyanato complex forms monoclinic crystals with the space group P2₁/n and a = 1467.5(7), b = 1310.6(7), c = 1603.2(8) pm, β = 112.08(1)°, Z = 4. The isocyanato ligand is in trans position to a Cl atom, and the phosphine ligands are coordinated in a meridional arrangement. [(Me₂PhP)₃Re(μ-Cl)₃Re(PMe₂Ph)₃]Cl₃ · 2 EtOH crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6₃/m with a = 1332.6(2), c = 2300.1(7) pm, Z = 2. The dinuclear complex cation occupies with its center a special position with the symmetry C_3h. Photolysis of Re(NCO)Cl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ results in the cleavage of the isocyanato ligand with release of CO and formation of the nitrido complex ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃. The reaction of ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ with NaOCN affords the complex ReN(NCO)₂(PMe₂Ph)₃. It crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with a = 943.0(3), b = 2635.2(4), c = 1212.6(5) pm, β = 109.88(1)°, Z = 4.

The diamagnetic compound forms air-stable, metallic lustre black crystals crystallizing in the tetragonal space group I4 with a = 1120.2(2), c = 1393.5(3) pm, and Z = 2. The crystal structure is built up by isolated cluster molecules Re₄(μ₃-Te)₄(TeBr₂)₄Br₈ occupying the centres 4 at 1/2, 1/2, 0 and 0, 0, 1/2.

Each Re atom coordinates in addition two Br^? ligands and one TeBr₂ molecule. For Re therefore results the oxidation state +IV. Reaction of Re₄(μ₃-Te)₄(TeBr₂)₄Br₈ with I₂ yields (TeI₄)₄.     

Nitridorhenium(V)‐Komplexe mit Dimercaptobernsteinsäuredimethylester. Präparation,Charakterisierung und Kristallstruktur von [Re{NC(CH3)2PPhMe2}(DMSMe2)2]

Nitridorhenium(V) Complexes with Dimercapto Succinic Acid Dimethylester. Preparation, Characterization, and Crystal Structure of [Re{NC(CH₃)₂PPhMe₂}(DMSMe₂)₂] Reaction of [ReNCl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] 1 with two equivalents of dimercaptosuccinic acid dimethylester (DMSMe₂) results in the formation of a neutral, diamagnetic rhenium(V)‐DMSMe₂ complex with a phenyldimethylphosphinoisopropyl group at the nitrido ligand as a consequence of a nucleophilic attack of the coordinated nitrido ligand on the solvent molecule. The formed complex 2 of the composition [Re{NC(CH₃)₂(Me₂PhP)}(DMSMe₂)₂] crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1, a = 12.334(7), b = 12.412(7), c = 12.414(8) Å; α = 60.14(3)°, β = 67.98(3)°, γ = 80.63(6)°; Z = 2. Rhenium is located in a square‐pyramidal configuration of the donor atoms. The two meso‐DMSMe₂ ligands are in a syn‐endo conformation. The rhenium‐nitrogen bond (1.697(12) Å) is only slightly longer than typical Re–N bonding distances in nitrido complexes and comparable with other Re–N–C bonding distances. The addition of a solvent molecule is observed in acetone ( 2 ) as well as in methylethylketone ( 3 ). Moreover, a reaction of the nitrido group with the condensation product of ketone is found by mass spectrometry ([ReN{C(CH₃)(C₂H₅)CH₂C(O)C₂H₅(Me₂PhP)}(DMSMe₂)₂] 4 ).
