Cluster chemistry: XXXVIII. Reactions between M(C2R)(PR′3 (M = Cu,Ag, Au; R = Ph,C6F5; R′ = Me Ph) and H2Os3(CO)10: X-ray structures of Os3Au(μ-CHCHR)(CO)10(PPh3) (R = Ph and C6F5)

The reactions of Os₃(μ-H)₂(CO)₁₀ with a series of Group IB metal acetylide-tertiary phosphine complexes are described. Whereas the compounds M(C₂C₆F₅)(PPh₃) (M = Cu, Ag, Au) afforded the complexes MOs₃(μ-CHCHC₆F₅)(CO)₁₀(PPh₃) cleanly and in high yield, complex mixtures of products were obtained from reactions of the analogous phenylacetylides. The complexes MOs₃(μ-CHCHPh)(CO)₁₀(PPh₃), MOs₃(μ-CHCHPh)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₂ and MOs₃(μ-H)(CO)₁₀(PPh₃) (of known structure), and MOs₃(μ-CHCHPh)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₂ and HMOs₃(CHCPh)(CO)₈ (of unknown structure) were characterised; Au(C₂Ph)(PMe₃) afforded similar derivatives. The reactions proceed by oxidative-addition and hydrogen migration steps; MP bond cleavage reactions also occur to a small extent. The molecular structures of AuOs₃(μ-CHCHC₆R₅)(CO)₁₀(PPh₃) (R = F or H) were determined by X-ray analyses. For R = F, crystals are triclinic, space group P$\text{1}$ with a 9.081(2), b 13.291(2), c 17.419(2) Å, α 84.49(1), β 76.20(2), γ 75.81(2)° and Z = 2; 4622 observed data [I > 2.5σ(I)] were refined to R = 0.027, R_W = 0.031. For R = H, crystals are triclinic, space group P$\text{1}$, with a 9.403(4), b 13.448(3), c 13.774(4) Å, α 83.34(2), β 88.66(3), γ 70.21(3)°, and Z = 2; 4405 observed data [I > 2.5σ(I)] were refined to R = 0.030, R_W = 0.033. The two molecules differ in the orientation of the Ph rings of the PPh₃ groups, but are otherwise similar to Os₃(μ-H)(μ-CHCHBu^t)(CO)₁₀ with the μ-H ligand replaced by the isolobal μ-Au(PPh₃) group.     

Use of the Cationic Fragments [Ru(η5-C5H5) (MeCN)3]+ and [M(η6-C6H5R)(MeCN)3]+ (M=Os, Ru; R=H, Me) as Ionic Coupling Reagents in the Synthesis of the Clusters [Os4M2(CO)12(η6-C6H5R)], [Os4M(CO)12(η6-C6H6)(Au2dppm)] and [Os5Ru(CO)15(η5-C5H5)(AuPPh3)]*

The clusters [H₂Os₄M(CO)₁₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)] (M=Os, Ru) may be deprotonated to generate anions [Os₄M(CO)₁₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)]^2- which react with [M′eta⁶-C₆H₅R) (MeCN)₃]²⁺(M^′=Os, Ru; R=H, Me) to give the bicapped tetrahedral clusters [Os₄(CO)₁₂MM′eta⁶-C₆H₅R)₂]. Whereas [Os₄(CO)₁₂M₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)₂] (M=Os, Ru) have one Meta⁶-C₆H₆) unit in a site connected to three other metals, {3}, and one in a site connected to four other metals, {4}, [Os₄(CO)₁₂OsRueta⁶-C₆H₆)₂] has the Rueta⁶-C₆H₆) unit in the {3} site irrespective of whether the Os or Ru anion is capped. Coupling of these anions with Au₂dppm yields [Os₄M(CO)₁₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)(Au₂dppm)] (M=Os, Ru), which have the arene ligand in the axial site of a trigonal bipyramid and the digold unit capping two faces. Reduction of [H₂Os₅(CO)₁₅] with K/Ph₂CO and coupling with [Rueta⁵-C₅H₅)(MeCN)₃]²⁺yields the monoanion [Os₅(CO)₁₅Rueta⁵-C₅H₅)]^? which reacts with [AuPPh₃]⁺ generating [Os₅(CO)₁₅Rueta⁵-C₅H₅)(AuPPh₃)] with the “Ru(C₅H₅)” unit in the terminal {3} site.     

Insertion reactions of [M(SR)3(PMe2Ph)2] with CS2 (M = Ru, Os; R = C6F4H-4, C6F5). X-ray structures of [Ru(S2CSC6F4H-4)2(PMe2Ph)2], trans-thiolates [M(SR)2(S2CSR)(PMe2Ph)2] (M = Ru; R = C6F5 and M = Os; R = C6F4H-4), and trans-thiolate-phosphine [Os(SC6F5)2(S2CSC6F5)(PMe2Ph)2

Reactions of [M(SR)(3)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] (M = Ru, Os; R = C(6)F(4)H-4, C(6)F(5)) with CS(2) in acetone afford [Ru(S(2)CSR)(2)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] (R = C(6)F(4)H-4, 1; C(6)F(5), 3) and trans-thiolates [Ru(SR)(2)(S(2)CSR)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] (R = C(6)F(4)H-4, 2; C(6)F(5), 4) or the isomers trans-thiolates [Os(SR)(2)(S(2)CSR)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] (R = C(6)F(4)H-4, 5; C(6)F(5), 7) and trans-thiolate-phosphine [Os(SR)(2)(S(2)CSR)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] (R = C(6)F(4)H-4, 6; C(6)F(5), 8) through processes involving CS(2) insertion into M-SR bonds. The ruthenium(III) complexes [Ru(SR)(3)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] react with CS(2) to give the diamagnetic thiolate-thioxanthato ruthenium(II) and the paramagnetic ruthenium(III) complexes while osmium(III) complexes [Os(SR)(3)(PMe(2)Ph)(2)] react to give the paramagnetic thiolate-thioxanthato osmium(III) isomers. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 1, 4, 5, and 8 show distorted octahedral structures. (31)P [(1)H] and (19)F NMR studies show that the solution structures of 1 and 3 are consistent with the solid-state structure of 1.     

Synthesis and spectral characterization of stannocanes of the type [O(CH2CH2S)2SnR2](R=Me1,Bun2,Ph3)

The stannocanes of the type [O(CH₂CH₂S)₂SnR₂](R=Me1,Buⁿ 2,Ph3) have been synthesized in an improved method by the reaction of R₂SnCl₂ with 2, 2′-oxydiethanethiol O(CH₂CH₂SH)₂ in molar ratio of 1:1 at the presence of sodium ethoxide in anhydrous ethanol. The reactions are carried out under inert atmosphere. These compounds have been extensively characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, multi-nuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. The obtained data clearly indicates that, there is a strong interaction between oxygen atom of the ligand as a donor and Sn atom of the organotin species as a Lewis acid acceptor. Therefore, the resulted dithiostannocanes possess a transannular secondary bonding and hypervalency at the central Sn atom which leads to an increase in the coordination number of tin from four to five-coordinated tin.      

Influence of the halogen ligand on the near-UV-visible spectrum of [Ru(X)(Me)(CO)2(alpha-diimine)] (X = Cl, I; alpha-diimine = Me-DAB, iPr-DAB; DAB = 1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene): an ab initio and TD-DFT analysis

The near-UV-vis electronic spectroscopy of [Ru(X)(Me)(CO)(2)(iPr-DAB)] (X = Cl or I; iPr-DAB = N,N'-di-isopropyl-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene) is investigated through CASSCF/CASPT2 and TD-DFT calculations on the model complexes [Ru(X)(Me)(CO)(2)(Me-DAB)] (X = Cl or I). Convergence of the calculated transition energies for the low-lying metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT), X-to-ligand charge-transfer (XLCT, X halide ligand), or sigma-bond-to-ligand charge-transfer (SBLCT) to experimental values is analyzed for both methods. On the basis of these accurate calculations, it is shown that whereas the lowest singlet state can be assigned to a nearly pure XLCT state in [Ru(I)(Me)(CO)(2)(Me-DAB)], its character is mainly MLCT in [Ru(Cl)(Me)(CO)(2)(Me-DAB)]. These results are in agreement with time-resolved emission/IR and resonance Raman experimental data. The experimental UV-vis bands are well reproduced by the CASSCF/CASPT2 calculations. The TD-DFT transition energies to the long-range charge transfer states are dramatically affected by the nature of the functional, with lowering leading to meaningless values in the case of nonhybrid functionals. Both methods reproduce well the red shift of the absorption bands on going from the chloride to the iodide complex as well as the shift of the strongly absorbing higher MLCT transition from the visible to the UV domain of energy.     

Towards clustered carbonyl cations [M3(CO)14]2+ (M = Ru,Os): the need for innocent deelectronation

To access the hitherto almost unknown class of clustered transition metal carbonyl cations, the trimetal dodecacarbonyls M₃(CO)₁₂ (M = Ru, Os) were reacted with the oxidant Ag⁺[WCA]⁻, but yielded the silver complexes [Ag{M₃(CO)₁₂}₂]⁺[WCA]⁻ (WCA = [Al(OR^F)₄]⁻, [F{Al(OR^F)₃}₂]⁻; R^F = –OC(CF₃)₃). Addition of further diiodine I₂ to increase the redox potential led for M = Ru non-specifically to divalent mixed iodo-Ru^II-carbonyl cations. With [NO]⁺, even the N–O bond was cleaved and led to the butterfly carbonyl complex cation [Ru₄N(CO)₁₃]⁺ in low yield. Obviously, ionization of M₃(CO)₁₂ with retention of its pseudo-binary composition including only M and CO is difficult and the inorganic reagents did react non-innocently. Yet, the radical cation of the commercially available perhalogenated anthracene derivative 9,10-dichlorooctafluoroanthracene (anthracene^Hal) is a straightforward accessible innocent deelectronator with a half-wave potential E_1/2 of 1.42 V vs. Fc^0/+. It deelectronates M₃(CO)₁₂ under a CO atmosphere and leads to the structurally characterized cluster salts [M₃(CO)₁₄]²⁺([WCA]⁻)₂ including a linear M₃ chain. The structural characterization as well as vibrational and NMR spectroscopies indicate the presence of three electronically independent sets of carbonyl ligands, which almost mimic M(CO)₅, free CO and even [M(CO)₆]²⁺ in one and the same cation.

Trimeric M₃(CO)₁₂ (M = Ru, Os) reacts with typical inorganic oxidants to unwanted side products. Yet, the 9,10-dichlorooctafluoroanthracene radical cation deelectronates these under CO pressure to give the first homotrimetallic [M₃(CO)₁₄]²⁺ salts.     

Theoretical studies on the metathesis processes, (Tp(PH3)MR(eta 2-H[bond]CH3)]-->[Tp(PH3)M(CH3)(eta 2-H[bond]R)] (M=Fe,Ru, and Os; R=H and CH3)

Theoretical calculations on the metathesis process, [Tp(PH3)MR(eta 2-H[bond]CH3)] --> [Tp(PH3)M(CH3)(eta 2-H[bond]R)] (M=Fe, Ru, and Os; R=H and CH3), have been systematically carried out to study their detailed reaction mechanisms. Other than the one-step mechanism via a four-center transition state and the two-step mechanism through an oxidative addition/reductive elimination pathway, a new one-step mechanism, with a transition state formed under oxidative addition, has been found. Based on the intrinsic reaction coordinate calculations, we found that the trajectories of the transferring hydrogen atom in the metathesis processes studied are similar to each other regardless of the nature of reaction mechanisms.

Über den Phosphandiyl‐Transfer von invers‐polarisierten Phosphaalkenen R1P=C(NMe2)2 (R1 = tBu,Cy, Ph,H) auf Phospheniumkomplexe [(η5‐C5H5)(CO)2M=P(R2)R3] (R2 = R3 = Ph; R2 = tBu,R3 = H; R2 = Ph,R3 = N(SiMe3)2)

Phosphanediyl Transfer from Inversely Polarized Phosphaalkenes R¹P=C(NMe₂)₂ (R¹ = tBu, Cy, Ph, H) onto Phosphenium Complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂M=P(R²)R³] (R² = R³ = Ph; R² = tBu, R³ = H; R² = Ph, R³ = N(SiMe₃)₂) Reaction of the freshly prepared phosphenium tungsten complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W=PPh₂] ( 3 ) with the inversely polarized phosphaalkenes RP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1 ) ( a : R = tBu; b : Cy; c : Ph) led to the η²‐diphosphanyl complexes ( 9a‐c ) which were isolated by column chromatography as yellow crystals in 24‐30 % yield. Similarly, phosphenium complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂M=P(H)tBu] (M = W ( 6 ); Mo ( 8 )) were converted into (M = W ( 11 ); Mo ( 12 )) by the formal abstraction of the phosphanediyl [PtBu] from 1a . Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W=P(Ph)N(SiMe₃)₂] ( 4 ) with HP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1d ) gave rise to the formation of yellow crystalline ( 10 ). The products were characterized by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H, ¹³C‐, ³¹P‐NMR, MS). The molecular structure of compound 10 was elucidated by an X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Products from the reaction of M3(CO)12 (M = Ru or Os) with water

Reaction of the carbonyl Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with water leads to the formation of polynuclear hydrides α-H₄Ru₄(CO)₁₂, α-H₂Ru₄(CO)₁₃; the corresponding reaction with Os₃(CO)₁₂ yields the complexes (H)(OH)Os₃(CO)₁₀, H₂Os₄(CO)₁₃, H₄Os₄(CO)₁₂, H₂Os₅(CO)₁₆, H₂Os₅(CO)₁₅, H₂Os₆(CO)₁₈ and H₂Os₇(CO)₁₉C.     

Metallo(alkyl)chlorophosphanes Cp(CO)3 M-P(R)CI (M=Mo,W; R=Me,Ph, tBu,C5Me5) - Novel Sources for Phosphinidenes

Abstract

Metallation of organodichlorophosphanes RPC1₂ (R=Me, Ph, tBu, C₅Me₅) with Na[M(CO)₃Cp] (M=Mo, W) in benzene yields the thermolabile Metallo(alkyl)chlorophosphanes la-g. In solution la-d show a high tendency to decompose to the corresponding metal chloride Cp(CO)₃M-Cl with phosphinidene elimination. The rate of decomposition depends on the metal and the phosphorus ligand (Mo > W, Me > Ph > tBu C₅Me₅)     

The open-chain triphosphanes RMe2SiCH2P(PR'2)2 (R = Me, Ph; R' = SiMe3, Cy, Ph)

The triphosphanes RMe(2)SiCH(2)P(PR'(2))(2) (R = Me, Ph; R' = SiMe(3), Cy) are synthesised in good yield via metathesis of organodichlorophosphanes and LiPR'(2), while for R' = Ph a propensity to form (Ph(2)P)(2) precludes isolation of the in situ characterised triphosphanes. Where R = Me and R' = SiMe(3) the triphosphane has also been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and exhibits a single geometric conformer in the solid state, though solution-phase NMR spectra are indicative of facile conformational exchange across a wide temperature range. All of the described triphosphanes exhibit comparable behaviour, with their respective (31)P{(1)H} NMR spectra manifesting anomalous 'second-order' characteristics, which are considered using full spin-Hamiltonian simulation. Preliminary studies of coordination chemistry and ancillary reactivity of the triphosphanes are described.

Reaction of [OS₃(CO)₁₀(NCMe)₂] with amides and aldehydes has provided a high-yield route to clusters of the type [OS₃(CO)₁₀H(NHCOR)] (R  H, Me, Ph, Et, Pr) and [OS₃(CO)₁₀H(COR)] (R  Me, Ph, CH₂Ph, C₆H₁₃), respectively; the molecular structure of [OS₃(CO)₁₀H(COCH₂Ph)] has been established by a single-crystal X-ray analysis.     

手性络合物[M(bpy)_2(phen)]~(2+)和[M(phen)_2(bpy)]~(2+)(M=Ru,Os)圆二色谱的理论解析

应用密度泛函理论,在B3LYP/LanL2DZ水平上对C2对称性的混配络合物[M(bpy)2(phen)]2+和[M(phen)2(bpy)]2+(M=Ru、Os;bpy=2,2'-bipyridine;phen=1,10-phenanthroline)在水溶液中的几何构型进行了优化,并用TDDFT/B3LYP方法和相同的基组计算了其激发能、旋转强度和振子强度,绘制了相应的圆二色谱(CD).在分析有关跃迁性质的基础上,对实验圆二色谱的谱带进行了明确的解析和指认,同时讨论了短波区激子裂分的规律性.结果表明:四种络合物在长波区(λ>320nm)的CD吸收带主要是由d-π*跃迁产生的荷移谱带;短波区(λ<320nm)则是配体上平行于长轴的π-π*跃迁产生的激子耦合带,且对于Λ构型表现为正的手性激子裂分.其中,[M(bpy)2(phen)]2+只显示出正负两个激子带,分属于联吡啶和邻菲咯啉配体;而[M(phen)2(bpy)]2+则有三个激子带,其中左侧的两个(一负一正)属于邻菲咯啉配体,右侧的正带则属于联吡啶配体.此外,尽管激子耦合属于远程相互作用,但用TDDFT计算的激子裂分样式仍是正确的.这些结论对于深入理解有...
