Os₃(μ-CO)(CO)₉(μ₃-Me₃SiC₂Me) alkyne complexes react with ferrocenylacetylene in hot benzene to form Os₃(CO)₉{μ₃-η¹-η¹-η²-η²-C(SiMe₃)C(Me)C(H)C(Fe)} and a small amount of the isomeric Os₃(CO)₉(μ-η¹-η¹-η⁴-C(SiMe₃)C(Me)C(Fc)C(H)} complex. The structure of the major isomer was confirmed by X-ray structural analysis of the single crystal. Thermolysis of this complex in refluxing benzene affords the Os₃(μ-H)(CO)₈{μ₃-η¹-η¹-η⁴-η¹-C(SiMe₃)C(Me)C(H)(C₅H₃FeC₅H₅)} complex with theortho-metallated ferrocene moiety. The spectral characteristics of clusters with the μ₃-η¹-η¹-η²-η² and μ-η¹-η¹-η⁴ coordinations of the metallacyclopentadiene fragment have been established, which made it possible to choose between the alternative modes of bonding of diene with the trimetallic core.

Syntheses, Structure and Reactivity of η³‐1,2‐Diphosphaallyl Complexes and [{(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃}{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] Reaction of ClP=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂ ( 3 ) with Na[Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] afforded the phosphavinylidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo=P=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 4 ) which in situ was converted into the η¹‐1,2‐diphosphaallyl complex [η⁵‐(C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 6 ) by treatment with the phosphaalkene tBuP=C(NMe₂)₂. 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.

Insertion of CO or p-TolNC into a ZrC bond of [Zr(η-C₅H₅).(R)R′] under ambient conditions in C₆H₆ leads to the stable η²-acyl- or η²-iminoacyl-complex [Zr(η-C₅H₅)₂{η²-C(X)R}R′] (X = O or NTol-p); with [Zr(η-C₅H₅)₂{CH(SiMe₃)₂}Me] as substrate there is exclusive preference for scission of the more hindered ZrC bond.

As?;C(OSiMe₃)R ( 2–4 )]. The diacylarsenido complexes (η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Fe? As[C(O)R]₂ ( 5, 6 ) are generated by treatment of 1a with two equivalents of pivaloyl chloride or mesitoyl chloride, respectively. The As?C-double bond length of 2 (1.821(2) Å) was determined by single crystal x-ray analysis.

1,2-Diphosphaferrocenes as Ligands in Transition Metal Complexes. X-Ray Structure Analysis of [(η⁵-1,3-tBu₂C₅H₃){η⁵-1,2-[Co₂(CO)₆]-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}] Reaction of metallo-1,2-diphosphapropene (η⁵-tBuC₅H₄)(CO)₂Fe? P(SiMe₃)? P?C(SiMe₃)₂ with (Z-cyclooctene)Cr(CO)₅ afforded the pentacarbonylchromium adduct of a 1,2-diphosphaferrocene [(η⁵-tBuC₅C₅H₄){η⁵-1-[Cr(CO)₅]-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}Fe] ( 1 c ). Diphosphaferrocene [(η⁵-tBuC₅H₄){η⁵-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}Fe] ( 2 c ) was formed when (η⁵-tBuC₅H₄)(CO)₂FeBr was treated with (Me₃Si)₂P? P?C(SiMe₃)₂ in toluene at 60°C. Photolysis of molybdenum- and tungsten hexacarbonyl in the presence of [(η⁵-1,3-tBu₂C₅H₃){η⁵-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}Fe] ( 2 b ) gave the pentacarbonylmetal adducts 8 (M = Mo) and 9 (M = W), respectively. A corresponding manganese derivative resulted from the photochemical reaction of 2 b and (MeC₅H₄)Mn(CO)₃. Treatment of 2 b with Co₂(CO)₈ yielded trinuclear [(η⁵-1,3-tBu₂C₅H₃){η⁵-1,2-[Co₂(CO)₆]-3,4-(Me₃SiO)₂-5-(Me₃Si)P₂C₃}Fe] ( 11 ). Constitution and configuration of compounds 1 c, 2 c, 8 – 11 were determined by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H-, ¹³C-, ³¹P-NMR, MS). In addition the molecular structure of 11 was established by single crystal X-ray analysis.     

N‐Functionalized Ferrocenes: Subvalent Group XIV Element Chlorides and tert‐Butyllithium‐Induced C−C Bond Cleavage under Mild Conditions

The ferrocene derivative (η⁵‐Cp)Fe{η⁵‐C₅H₃‐1‐(ArNCH)‐2‐(CH₂NMe₂)} ( 1 ; Ar=2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃)) reacts diastereoselectively with LiR by carbolithiation and subsequent hydrolysis to give (η⁵‐Cp)Fe{η⁵‐C₅H₃‐1‐(ArHNCHR)‐2‐(CH₂NMe₂)} ( 3 : R=tBu; 4 : R=Ph; 5 : R=Me) in high yields. For R=tBu, the organolithium derivative (η⁵‐Cp)Fe{η⁵‐C₅H₃‐1‐(ArLiNCHR)‐2‐(CH₂NMe₂)} ( 2 ) was isolated. Compound 2 reacts with GeCl₂?dioxane and SnCl₂ to give the metallylene amide chlorides (η⁵‐Cp)Fe{η⁵‐C₅H₃‐1‐(ArMNCHtBu)‐2‐(CH₂NMe₂)} 6 (M=GeCl) and 7 (M=SnCl), respectively, which each contain three stereogenic centers. The potential of 7 as a ligand in transition‐metal chemistry is demonstrated by formation of its complex (η⁵‐Cp)Fe{η⁵‐C₅H₃‐1‐(ArMNCHtBu)‐2‐(CH₂NMe₂)} [ 9 , M= Sn(Cl)W(CO)₅]. Treatment of 3 with tert‐butyllithium at room temperature causes an unprecedented carbon–carbon bond cleavage whereas under kinetic control, lithiation at the Cp‐3 position takes place, which leads to the isolation of (η⁵‐Cp)Fe{η⁵‐C₅H₃‐1‐(ArHNCHtBu)‐2‐(CH₂NMe₂)‐3‐SiMe₃} ( 10 ).     

Synthese,Struktur und Reaktivität von η1und η3‐Allyl‐Rhenium‐Carbonylen

Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of η¹‐ and η³‐Allyl Rhenium Carbonyls In (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₄ one CO ligand can be substituted by PPh₃, pyridine, isocyanide and benzonitrile. With 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene, 1,1′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene and 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethane dinuclear ligand bridged complexes are obtained. The η³‐η¹ conversion of the allyl ligand occurs on reaction of (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₄ with the bidendate ligands 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane and 1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and with 2,2′‐bipyridine (L–L) which gives the complexes (η¹‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₃(L–L). By reaction of (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₄ with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane the allyl group is protonated and under elemination of propene the complex (OC)₃Re(Ph₂PCHPPh₂)(η¹‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) ( 19 ) with a diphosphinomethanide ligand is formed. On heating solutions of (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₄ and (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₃(CN‐2,5‐Me₂C₆H₃) ( 5 ) in methanol the methoxy bridged compounds Re₄(CO)₁₂(OH)(OMe)₃ and Re₂(CO)₄(CN‐2,5‐Me₂C₆H₃)₄(μ‐OMe)₂ ( 20 ) were isolated. The crystal structures of (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₃(CNCH₂SiMe₃) ( 4 ), [(η³‐C₃H₅)(OC)₃Re]₂‐ (μ‐bis‐(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) ( 8 ), (η¹‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₃‐ (bpy) ( 14 ), of 19 , 20 and of (OC)₃Re‐[Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂]Cl ( 16 ) were determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

Hydrido(hydrosilylene)tungsten Complexes: Dynamic Behavior and Reactivity Toward Acetone

Reaction of a labile tungsten nitrile complex, [(Cp*)W(CO)₂(NCMe)Me] (Cp*=η⁵‐C₅Me₅), with H₃SiC(SiMe₃)₃ gave the hydrido(hydrosilylene) complex [(Cp*)(CO)₂(H)W?Si(H){C(SiMe₃)₃}] ( 1a ). The hydrido(silylene) complex [(η⁵‐C₅Me₄Et)(CO)₂(H)W?SiMes₂] ( 2 ) (Mes=2,4,6‐Me‐C₆H₂) was synthesized by a similar reaction with H₂SiMes₂. There is a strong interligand interaction between the hydrido and silylene ligands of these complexes; this was confirmed by a neutron diffraction study of [D₂] 1b , that is, the deuterido and η⁵‐C₅Me₄Et derivative of 1a . The exchange between the W? H and the Si? D groups was observed in the deuterido complex [D] 1a . This H/D exchange proceeded slowly at room temperature, but very rapidly under UV irradiation. Variable‐temperature NMR spectroscopy measurements show the dynamic behavior of carbonyl ligands in 1a . Complex 1a reacted with acetone at room temperature to give mainly a hydrosilylation product, [(Cp*)(CO)₂(H)W?Si(OiPr){C(SiMe₃)₃}] ( 3a ), along with a siloxy complex, [(Cp*)(CO)₂WO(Si(H)iPr{C(SiMe₃)₃})] ( 4a ). At low temperature, a different reaction, namely, α‐H abstraction, proceeded to give an equilibrium mixture of 1a and a dihydrido(silyl) complex, [(Cp*)(CO)₂(H)₂W(Si(H){OC(?CH₂)Me}{C(SiMe₃)₃})] ( 5 ).     

Komplexe mit sterisch anspruchsvollen Liganden: IV. Gehinderte Rotation der Ringliganden in Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)metallocenen des Eisens und des Titans

Variable-temperature ¹H NMR studies have revealed that in 1,1′,3,3′-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)ferrocene, Fe[η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂-1,3]₂, as well as in 1,1′,3,3′-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)titanocene dichloride, Ti[η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂-1,3]₂Cl₂, the rotation of the five-membered ring about the metal-ring vector is hindered at lower temperatures. The titanocene complex was prepared from TiCl₃ and bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyllithium via Ti[η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂-1,3]₂Cl.     

Alkynethiolate ligands in the syntheses of iron carbonyl derivatives. Crystal structure of [(η-C5H5)Fe(CO)2(SCCSiMe3)]

The complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂(SCCR)] (R=^tBu, SiMe₃) have been obtained by reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂I] and the corresponding LiSCCR. These are the first examples of mononuclear iron compounds containing alkynethiolate ligands. The crystal structure of [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂(SCCSiMe₃)] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The role of [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂(SCCSiMe₃)] as a metalloligand in its reactions with metal carbonyls has been explored.     

Preparation and reactivity of the new cyclopentadienyl-bridged complex (Me2SiCH2CH2SiMe2)(C5H4Fe(CO)2)2

A new metal-metal bonded binuclear iron system [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂]₂ (2) has been prepared by treating two equivalents of NaCp with one equivalent of ClSi(Me)₂CH₂CH₂SiClMe₂ obtaining the intermediate (C₅H₅)Si(Me)₂CH₂CH₂Si(Me)₂(C₅H₅) which then is directly allowed to react with Fe(CO)₅ given 2 in 30% yield. From this cyclopentadienyldisilyl linked system three new binuclear irom complexes are formed. Treatment of 2 with Na/Hg in THF produced the dianion [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂^?]₂ which is quenched with CH₃I giving [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₄H₄Fe(CO)₂CH₃]₂ (4) in 76% yield. Complex 2 is oxidized with 1.2 equivalent of I₂ to give [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂I]₂ (5) in 85% yield. Photolysis of 5 (1 equiv.) and PPh₃ (3 equiv.) results in the formation of the bis-substituted compound [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)(PPh₃)I]₂ (6). These four new binuclear iron complexes are characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy.     

Darstellung und Eigenschaften neuer kationischer Dienyl-isonitril-dicarbonyl-Komplexe des Eisens und Rutheniums

Preparation and Properties of New Cationic Dienyl-isonitrile-dicarbonyl Complexes of Iron and Ruthenium The hydride abstraction from the η⁴-diene isonitrile metal dicarbonyls M(η⁴-dien)(CNR)(CO)₂ (M = Fe, Ru; dien = C₆H₈ cyclohexadiene-1.3; C₇H₁₀ cycloheptadiene-1.3; R = Me, Et) with [Ph₃C]BF₄ lead to the η⁵-dienyl isonitrile dicarbonyl metal cations [M(η⁵-dienyl)(CNR)(CO)₂]⁺ [dienyl = cyclohexa-2.4-dien-1-yl (C₆H₇), cyclohepta-2.4-dien-1-yl (C₇H₉)]. [Fe(η⁵? C₈H₉)(CNMe)(CO)₂]⁺ (C₈H₉ = bicyclo[5.1.0]octa-3.5-dien-2-yl) is formed by protonation of Fe(η⁴? C₈H₈)(CNMe)(CO)₂ (C₈H₈ = COT) under valency isomerization. The two cations [Fe(η⁵? C₇H₉)(CNMe)(CO)₂]⁺ and [Fe(η⁵? C₈H₉)(CNMe)(CO)₂]⁺ can be deprotonated with NEt₃ to the neutral cycloheptatriene respectively COT complexes Fe(η⁴? C₇H₈)(CNMe)(CO)₂ and Fe(η⁴? C₈H₈)(CNMe)(CO)₂. The temperature dependent ¹³C-NMR spectra of [Fe(η⁵? C₇H₉)(CNMe)(CO)₂]⁺ and [Ru(η⁵? C₆H₇)(CNMe)(CO)₂]⁺ show the fluctional behaviour of these cations in solution. At low temperatures one CO group occupies the apical position of a square pyramid whereas the isonitrile ligand, the other CO group and the dienyl part are in the basal positions. The ΔG values of the CP exchange points out a higher activation energy as in the corresponding η⁴-diene metal complexes.     

Comparative Studies of Thermally Induced Homolytic CarbonCarbon Bond Cleavage Reactions of Strained Dicarba[2]ferrocenophanes and Their Ring‐Opened Oligomers and Polymers

Reactivity studies of dicarba[2]ferrocenophanes and also their corresponding ring‐opened oligomers and polymers have been conducted in order to provide mechanistic insight into the processes that occur under the conditions of their thermal ring‐opening polymerisation (ROP) (300 °C). Thermolysis of dicarba[2]ferrocenophane rac‐[Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄)₂(CHPh)₂] (rac‐ 14 ; 300 °C, 1 h) does not lead to thermal ROP. To investigate this system further, rac‐ 14 was heated in the presence of an excess of cyclopentadienyl anion, to mimic the postulated propagating sites for thermally polymerisable analogues. This afforded acyclic [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄)‐CH₂Ph] ( 17 ) through cleavage of both a Fe?Cp bond and also the C?C bond derived from the dicarba bridge. Evidence supporting a potential homolytic C?C bond cleavage pathway that occurs in the absence of ring‐strain was provided through thermolysis of an acyclic analogue of rac‐ 14 , namely [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(CHPh)₂‐C₅H₅] ( 15 ; 300 °C, 1 h), which also afforded ferrocene derivative 17 . This reactivity pathway appears general for post‐ROP species bearing phenyl substituents on adjacent carbons, and consequently was also observed during the thermolysis of linear polyferrocenylethylene [Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄)₂(CHPh)₂]_n ( 16 ; 300 °C, 1 h), which was prepared by photocontrolled ROP of rac‐ 14 at 5 °C. This afforded ferrocene derivative [Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄CH₂Ph)₂] ( 23 ) through selective cleavage of the ?H(Ph)C?C(Ph)H? bonds in the dicarba linkers. These processes appear to be facilitated by the presence of bulky, radical‐stabilising phenyl substituents on each carbon of the linker, as demonstrated through the contrasting thermal properties of unsubstituted linear trimer [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(CH₂)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(CH₂)₂(η⁵‐C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] ( 29 ) with a ?H₂C?CH₂? spacer, which proved significantly more stable under analogous conditions. Evidence for the radical intermediates formed through C?C bond cleavage was detected through high‐resolution mass spectrometric analysis of co‐thermolysis reactions involving rac‐ 14 and 15 (300 °C, 1 h), which indicated the presence of higher molecular weight species, postulated to be formed through cross‐coupling of these intermediates.

The structure of [(η⁴-C₆H₇)CH(N=CPh₂)CO₂Me]Fe(CO)₃ was determined by X-ray diffraction. From the adduct of [Ph₂C=NCHCO₂Me]^– and [(C₇H₇)Mo(CO)₃]⁺ the Schiff base of a new unnatural α-amino acid, Ph₂C=NCH(C₇H₇)CO₂Me, was obtained.
