Thiolate-bridged Trinuclear Heterobimetallic Complexes [Cd(μ-SPh-4-Me)4{M(PPh3)2}2] (M?=?Cu, Ag) and [Sn(μ-SPh)6(AgPPh3)2]

Abstract  

Reaction of the [Me₄N]₂[Cd(SPh-4-Me)₄] with two equivalents of [M(PPh₃)₂NO₃] afforded the neutral linear trinuclear complexes [Cd(μ-SPh-4-Me)₄{M(PPh₃)₂}₂] (M = Cu 1, Ag 2) in which two [M(PPh₃)₂]⁺ fragments chelate with the opposite edges of a tetrahedral [Cd(SPh-4-Me)₄]²⁻ moiety via the sulfur atoms of the Me-4-PhS⁻ species. Treatment of [Sn(SPh)₄] with two equivalents of [Ag(PPh₃)₂NO₃] gave the neutral linear trinuclear complex [Sn(μ-SPh)₆(AgPPh₃)₂] (3) that is composed of a central distorted SnS₆ octahedron sharing two opposite planes with two slightly distorted AgS₃P tetrahedrons. Complexes 2 and 3 are air and optically stable. Their nonlinear optical absorption and refraction were investigated under the same conditions. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction of complex 2 were determined to be α ₂ = 3.11 × 10⁻¹¹ m/W and n ₂ = 4.15 × 10⁻¹² esu, respectively. The nonlinear optical absorption and refraction of complex 3 were determined to be α ₂ = 8.36 × 10⁻¹¹ m/W and n ₂ = 1.47 × 10⁻¹¹ esu, respectively.     

Pyridine-2-thione (pySH) derivatives of silver(I): Synthesis and crystal structures of dinuclear [Ag2Cl2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] and [Ag2Br2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] complexes

Reaction of silver(I) halides with PPh₃ in acetonitrile and then with pyridine-2-thione (pySH) chloroform (1:1:1 molar ratio) has yielded sulfur bridged dimers of general formula, [Ag₂X₂(μ-S-pySH)₂(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, 1, Br, 2). Both these complexes have been characterized using analytical data, NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-crystallography. The central Ag₂S₂ cores form parallelograms with unequal Ag–S bond distances (2.5832(8), 2.7208(11) Å) in 1 and (2.6306(4), 2.6950(7) Å) in 2, respectively. The Ag?Ag contacts of compounds 1 and 2 are 3.8425(8) and 3.8211(4) Å, respectively. The angles around Ag (in the range 87.19(2)–121.71(2)° in 1 and 87.81(2)–121.53(2)° in 2) reveal highly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are inter dimer π–π stacking interactions between pyridyl rings (inter ring distances of 3.498 and 3.510 Å in complexes 1 and 2, respectively). The solution state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy has shown the existence of both monomers and dimers. The studies reveal relatively weaker intramolecular –NH?Cl hydrogen bonding in case of AgCl vis-à-vis that in CuCl which favored both a monomer and a dimer with AgCl, and only a monomer with CuCl.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of [W3S4(Acac)3(PPh3)3]PF6 · 0.5CHCl3 and [W3S4(Hfac)3(PPh3)2Br] · 2CHCl3

New cluster complexes [W₃S₄(Acac)₃(PPh₃)₃]PF₆ · 0.5CHCl₃ (Acac = CH₃C(O)CHC(O)CH₃) (I) and [W₃S₄(Hfac)₃(PPh₃)₂Br] · 2CHCl₃ (Hfac = CF₃C(O)CHC(O)CF₃) (II) were synthesized. Their molecular and crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. The cis-cis type of coordination of acetylacetonate and hexafluoroacetylacetonate ligands in I and II, respectively, was established, and the PPh₃ ligands were found in the trans-positions with respect to the “capping” sulfide ligand (μ³-S).

The Cu(Ⅰ) is coordinated by two Patoms from triphenylphosphine and two Natoms from imidazole to form the distorted tetrahedral geometry.     

Some complexes containing Pt-C5-Co3 fragments: Molecular structure of trans-Pt{CCCC-μ3-C[Co3(μ-dppm)(CO)6(PPh3)]}2(PPh3)2 determined using synchrotron radiation

Reactions of platinum(II) chloro-phosphine complexes with Co₃(μ₃-CCCCCSiMe₃)(μ-dppm)(CO)₇ in the presence of NaOMe have given the compounds Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇]}₂(dppe) (1), trans-Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇]}₂(PEt₃)₂ (2) and trans-Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm) (CO)₆(PPh₃)]}₂(PPh₃)₂ (3), each of which contains two Co₃ clusters linked by C₅ chains to the Pt centre. Electrochemical studies (CVs) show the presence of both oxidation and reduction processes, the latter probably occurring on the CCo₃ cores. Ready reductive elimination of {Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇}₂(μ₃:μ₃-C₁₀) occurs from 1 upon heating. The X-ray study of 3 was carried out using synchrotron radiation (Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, IL) to confirm its structure.     

Thiolate-bridged heterometallic complexes of manganese and platinum: Synthesis and molecular structures of (CO)4Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)2, (CO)3(PPh3)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(CO), and (CO)3Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(Dppm)

A reaction of the dimer [Mn(CO)₄(SPh)]₂ with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) gave the heterometallic complex (CO)₄Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)₂ (I) and its isomer (CO)₃(PPh₃)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(CO) (II). A reaction of complex I with a diphosphine ligand (Dppm) yielded the heterometallic complex (CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(Dppm) (III). Complexes I–III were characterized by X-ray diffraction. In complex I, the single Mn-Pt bond (2.6946(3) ?) is supplemented with a thiolate bridge with the shortened Pt-S and Mn-S bonds (2.3129(5) and 2.2900(6) ?, respectively). Unlike complex I, in complex II, one phosphine group at the Pt atom is exchanged for one CO group at the Mn atom. The Mn-Pt bond (2.633(1) ?) and the thiolate bridge (Pt-S, 2.332(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.291(2) ?) are retained. In complex III, the Mn-Pt bond (2.623(1) ?) is supplemented with thiolate (Pt-S, 2.341(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.292(2) 0?) and Dppm bridges (Pt-P, 2.240(1)?; Mn-P, 2.245(2) ?). Apparently, the Pt atom in complexes I–III is attached to the formally double bond , as in Pt complexes with olefins.

Spanning [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] metalloligands with 1,4-dimercurated durene

Reaction of the metalloligand [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄] with 0.5 mol equivalents of durene-1,4-bis(mercuric acetate) [AcOHgC₆Me₄HgOAc] in methanol gives the polynuclear complex [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺, isolated as its and salts. Positive-ion ESI mass spectra indicate that [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺ undergoes fragmentation by successive loss of PPh₃ ligands, while the ESI mass spectrum of the salt showed additional ions [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄(HgC₆Me₄HgPh)]⁺ and [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]⁺ as a result of phenyl transfer from to Hg. A single-crystal X-ray structure determination on [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)](BPh₄)₂ shows that the cation crystallises on a centre of symmetry, with structural features that are comparable to those of the previously characterised complex [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]BPh₄.     

Stable radical adducts of diisopropylphosphoryl radicals with fullerene complexes (η2-C60)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut) and (η2-C70)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut)

It was determined by ESR spectroscopy that the UV irradiation of toluene solutions containing Hg[P(O)(OPrⁱ)₂ and the complex (²-C₆₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) produces six stable regioisomeric adducts of phosphoryl radicals with complexes, which are not demetallated under UV irradiation and do not dimerize in the absence of UV irradiation. This is caused by the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the carbon atoms of fullerene localized near the metal-containing moiety. The addition of the phosphoryl radicals to (²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) gives rise to the formation of nine stable regioisomeric radical adducts. A comparison of the composition of regioisomers of the radical adducts of C₇₀ with the phosphoryl radicals, which were formed directly from C₇₀ and from the radical adducts of ²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) by the demetallation of the latter, revealed an orienting effect of the osmium-containing moiety on the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the fullerene complex.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A reaction of Cp′Mo(CO)₃Cl(Cp′ = MeC₅H₄) with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) gave the heterometallic cluster Cp′Mo(μ-CO)₂(C₂Ph₂)Pt₂(PPh₃)₂(CO)Cl (I) as the sole product. According to X-ray diffraction data, complex I contains single Pt-Mo bonds (2.7962(5) and 2.7699(5) ?) but no Pt-Pt bond (Pt…Pt 2.9746(3) ?). The coordinated diphenylacetylene molecule forms two Pt-C σ-bonds (2.054(6) and 2.083(5) ?) and a π-bond to the Mo atom (Mo-C 2.265(6) and 2.272(5) ?; C≡C 1.387(8) ?). Original Russian Text ? A.A.

Unusual ion UO4? formed upon collision induced dissociation of [UO2(NO3)3]?, [UO2(ClO4)3]?, [UO2(CH3COO)3]? ions

The following ions [UO₂(NO₃)₃]⁻, [UO₂(ClO₄)₃]⁻, [UO₂(CH₃COO)₃]⁻ were generated from respective salts (UO₂(NO₃)₂, UO₂(ClO₄)₃, UO₂(CH3COO)2) by laser desorption/ionization (LDI). Collision induced dissociation of the ions has led, among others, to the formation of UO₄ ⁻ ion (m/z 302). The undertaken quantum mechanical calculations showed this ion is most likely to possess square planar geometry as suggested by MP2 results or strongly deformed geometry in between tetrahedral and square planar as indicated by DFT results. Interestingly, geometrical parameters and analysis of electron density suggest it is an U^VI compound, in which oxygen atoms bear unpaired electron and negative charge.     

Double complex salts [Pd(NH3)4]3[Rh(NO2)6]2, [Pd(NH3)4]3[Rh(NO2)6]2·H2O as promising precursors to prepare Pd-Rh nanoalloys

Two new double complex salts [Pd(NH₃)₄]₃[Rh(NO₂)₆]₂ (I) and [Pd(NH₃)₄]₃[Rh(NO₂)₆]₂·H₂O (II) are synthesized and characterized. The techniques to produce one-phase residues of the salts are developed. The crystallographic data for I: a = 18.915(2) ?, V = 6767.4 ?³, F-43c space group, Z = 8, d _x = 2.548 g/cm³; II: a = 21.160(6) ?, b = 8.085(7) ?, c = 21.363(4) ?, β = 91.71(4)°, V = 3661.1(6) ?³, P2₁/c space group, d _x = 2.357 g/cm³.

Synthesis,structure characterization and thermal properties of [Zr6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(OOCCH2Bu)9(μ2-OH)3]2

Oxo/hydoxo zirconium(IV) complex of the general formula [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ has been isolated, when Zr(OⁱPr)₄ reacted with a 2-fold excess of 3,3-dimethylbutyric acid. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at 103 and 153 K, showed that the studied compound crystallizes in hexagonal system (P6₃/m (no. 176)). Structure consists of dimers composed of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉] sub-units, linked by six μ₂-OH bridges. Infrared spectroscopic studies proved the presence of hydroxo groups in the structure of studied clusters and formation of different types of oxo/hydroxo bridges. The application of variable temperature infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the structure of this complex undergoes the phase transitions at 143–183 and 203–293 K. Comparison of spectral and crystallographic data suggests that these phase transitions might be related to changes in the strength of Zr–O bonds of μ₂-OH bridges linking complex sub-units, and change in symmetry of the crystal lattice (from hexagonal to trigonal). Analysis of thermogravimetric data showed that decomposition of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ proceeds with complete conversion to ZrO₂ (monoclinic form) between 603 and 803 K.

Treatment of unsaturated [Os₃(CO)₈{μ₃-Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)C₆H₄}(μ-H)] (2) with ^tBuNC at room temperature gives [Os₃(CO)₈(CNBu^t)){μ₃-Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)C₆H₄}(μ-H)] (3) which on thermolysis in refluxing toluene furnishes [Os₃(CO)₇(CNBu^t){μ₃-Ph₂PCHP(Ph)C₆H₄}(μ-H)₂] (4). Reaction of the labile complex [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-dppm)(NCMe)] (5) with ^tBuNC at room temperature affords the substitution product [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-dppm)(CNBu^t)] (6). Thermolysis of 6 in refluxing toluene gives 4. On the other hand, the reaction of unsaturated [Os₃(CO)₉{μ₃-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS}(μ-H)] (7) with ^tBuNC yields the addition product [Os₃(CO)₉(CNBu^t){μ-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS}(μ-H)] (8) which on decarbonylation in refluxing toluene gives unsaturated [Os₃(CO)₈(CNBu^t){μ₃-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS}(μ-H)] (9). Compound 9 reacts with PPh₃ at room temperature to give the adduct [Os₃(CO)₈(PPh₃)(CNBu^t){μ-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS(μ-H)] (10). Compound 8 exists as two isomers in solution whereas 10 occurs in four isomeric forms. The molecular structures of 3, 6, 8, and 10 have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.     

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure and thermal decomposition of two peroxovanadium complexes with coordinated ammonia molecules: [{VO(O2)2(NH3)}2{μ-Cu(NH3)4}] and [Zn(NH3)4][VO(O2)2(NH3)]2

The compounds [{VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)}₂{μ-Cu(NH₃)₄}] (1) and [Zn(NH₃)₄][VO(O₂)₂(NH₃)]₂ (2) were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and infrared spectra. The single crystal X-ray study revealed that the structure of 1 consists of trinuclear complex molecules [(NH₃)OV(O₂)₂{μ-Cu(NH₃)₄}(O₂)₂VO(NH₃)] with a rare heterobimetalic peroxo bridge: copper(II)–peroxo ligand–vanadium(V). The structure of 2 is composed of tetraamminezinc(II) cations and ammineoxodiperoxovanadate(V) anions. In course of thermal decomposition of 1 performed up to 620 °C, the following intermediate products: [Cu(NH₃)₂(VO₃)₂], and subsequently a mixture of V₂O₅ with monoclinic β-Cu₂V₂O₇, were gradually formed. The final product of decomposition is Cu(VO₃)₂. The thermal decomposition of 2 is a two-step process. In the first stage, [Zn(NH₃)₃(VO₃)₂] as supposed intermediate was formed, which transformed at higher temperatures by release of ammonia molecules to the monoclinic modification of Zn(VO₃)₂.
