Using IR and PMR spectroscopy, it has been shown that on addition of trifluoroacetic acid to (η⁵-C₁₃H₉)Mn(CO)₃ in CH₂Cl₂ solution protonation of position 9 of the fluorenyl ligand takes place with simultaneous migration of the metal atom onto the six-membered ring of the fluorenyl ligand, forming of [(η⁶-C₁₃H₁₀)Mn(CO)₃]⁺.     

Darstellung von Acetatoblei(IV)- und Acetatozinn(IV)- manganpentacarbonylen durch Acidolyse von (C6H5)4–n−M[Mn(CO)5]n (M  Sn,Pb; n = 1, 2) mit Essigsäure

Preparation of Acetatolead(1V) and Acetatotin(1V) Manganese Pentacarbonyls by Acidolysis of (C₆H₅)_4?n M[Mn(CO)₅]_n (M ? Sn, Pb; n = 1, 2) with Acetic Acid By acidolysis of (C₆H₅)_4?nM[Mn(CO)₅]_n (M ? Sn, Pb; n = 1, 2) with acetic acid no M? Mn bonds are broken, but M? C bonds. In this reaction (CH₃COO)₂M[Mn(CO)₅]₂ is formed from (C₆H₅)₂M[Mn(CO)₅]₂, and (CH₃COO)₃SnMn(CO)₅ and (CH₃COO)₂C₆H₅PbMn(CO)₅ from (C₆H₅)₃MMn-(CO)₅. (CH₃COO)₂C₆H₅SnMn(CO)₅ is prepared from Cl₂C₆H₅SnMn(CO)₅ and AgCH₃COO. According to IR spectroscopic data the acetato ligands of the diacetato complexes are bidentate, while in (CH₃COO)₃SnMn(CO)₅ bi- and monodentate carboxylate groups are present. For the central atoms Sn and Pb octahedral coordination is proposed.     

Water-Soluble Organometallic Compounds. 8[1]. Synthesis, Spectral Properties, and Crystal Structures of 1,3,5-Triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) Derivatives of Metal Carbonyl Clusters: Ru3(CO)9(PTA)3 and Ir4(CO)7(PTA)5

The syntheses of Ru₃(CO)₉(PTA)₃ and Ir₄(CO)₇(PTA)₅ were accomplished through the thermal reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ or Ir₄(CO)₁₂ with the water-soluble phosphine, PTA(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane). The ruthenium derivative was shown by X-ray crystallography to consist of a triangular Ru₃ core with three nearly equal Ru–Ru bonds, with each ruthenium atom bearing an equatorially positioned PTA ligand. In Ir₄(CO)₇(PTA)₅ the iridium atoms define a tetrahedron which is bridged on three edges by CO ligands. One basal iridium atom contains two PTA ligands, while the other two basal and the apical iridium atoms each possess one PTA ligand in their coordination spheres. Although, Ru₃(CO)₉(PTA)₃ is only sparingly soluble in pure water, it is very soluble in aqueous solution of pH<4. Indeed the triruthenium cluster can be extracted reversibly between an aqueous and an organic phase (e.g., CH₂Cl₂) by changing the pH of the aqueous phase. On the other hand the more highly PTA substituted cluster, Ir₄(CO)₇(PTA)₅, exhibits good solubility in aqueous solution (pH 7 and below) and a variety of organic solvents. Both cluster derivatives are stable in deoxygenated, aqueous solutions for extended period of time (>24 h).     

UV LASER INITIATED STEREOSELECTIVE HOMOGENEOUS CATALYSIS POLYMERIZATION OF PHENYLACETYLENE

In this paper, the stereoselective homogeneous catalysis polymerization of phenylacetylene by using two kinds of catalysts W(CO)_5CH_3I and W(CO)_4I_2 produced from UV laser photolysis of W (CO)_6 in CH_3I, I_2—C_6H_6 and CHI_3—C_6H_6 respectively was studied. The effects of laser energy, laser irradiation time and lifetime of catalyst on the polymerization of phenylacetylene were discussed. The photoproducts of W (CO)_6 in CH_3I, I2—C_6H_6 and CHI_3—C_6I_6 were determined by IR spectra. The structures of polyphenylacetylene obtained by W (CO)_5CH_3I and W (CO)_4I_2 catalysts were characterized by IR spectra and ~1H NMR spectra.

Treatment of these complexes with alcohols results in formation of the axial nonacarbonyl(carbene)dirhenium complexesax-(CO)₉Re₂C(OR)Si(C₆H₅)₃ (IIIa, R - CH₃; IIIb, R - C₂H₅). The isomeric carbene complexes Ia and IIIa react with dialkylamine affording the isomeric aminocarbene complexeseq-(CO)₉Re₂C(CH₃)₂]-Si(C₆H₅)₃ (V) andax-(CO)₉Re₂Cl(NR₂)Si(C₆H₅)₃ (IVa, R - CH₃; IVb, R - C₂H₅).

Reactions of Ph₂P(CH₂)_n(C₅H₄)Li, (n = 0, 2), with MCl₄ or CpTiCl₃ (M = Ti, Zr; Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅) form Cl₂M[(η⁵-C₅H₄)(CH₂)_nPPh₂]₂ or Cl₂CpTi[(η⁵-C₅H₄)-(CH₂)₂PPh₂] in good yields. Chemical reduction with Al, or electrochemical reduction of these complexes, under CO, are described. The titanium(IV) and zirconium(IV) derivatives react with metal carbonyls (Mo(CO)₆, Cr(CO)₆, Fe(CO)₅, Mo(CO)₄(C₈H₁₂)) under formation of new heterobimetallic complexes. Reduction with Al of Cl₂CpTi[(η⁵-C₅H₄)(CH₂)₂PPh₂]Mo(CO)₅ under CO results in a new heterobimetallic species containing low valent titanium. Both complexes Cl₂M[(η⁵-C₅H₄)(CH₂)₂PPh₂]₂ (M = Ti, Zr) react with [Rh(μ-Cl)(CO)(C₂H₄)]₂ to yield {RhCl(CO)(Cl₂M[(η⁵-C₅H₄)(CH₂)₂PPh₂]₂)}x, which is assumed to be a dimer, in which the titanium or the zirconium compounds act as bridging diphosphine ligands between the rhodium atoms.     

Novel Copolymers of Styrene. 3. Some Ring-Substituted Butyl 2-Cyano-3-Phenyl-2-Propenoates

Novel trisubstituted ethylenes, ring-substituted butyl 2-cyano-3-phenyl-2-propenoates, RPhCH=C(CN)CO₂C₄H₉ (where R is 2-C₆H₅CH₂O, 3-C₆H₅CH₂O, 4-C₆H₅CH₂O, 4-CH₃COO, 3-CH₃CO, 4-CH₃CO, 4-CH₃CONH, 2-CN, 3-CN, 4-CN, 4-(CH₃)₂N, 4-(C₂H₅)₂N) were prepared and copolymerized with styrene. The monomers were synthesized by the piperidine catalyzed Knoevenagel condensation of ring-substituted benzaldehydes and butyl cyanoacetate, and characterized by CHN analysis, IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR. All the ethylenes were copolymerized with styrene (M₁) in solution with radical initiation (ABCN) at 70°C. The compositions of the copolymers were calculated from nitrogen analysis and the structures were analyzed by IR, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR. The order of relative reactivity (1/r₁) for the monomers is 4-C₆H₅CH₂O (6.39) > 2-C₆H₅CH₂O (2.06) > 3-CH₃CO (1.86) > 3-C₆H₅CH₂O (1.78) > 4-CH₃COO (1.58) > 3-CN (1.47) > 4-CN (1.21) > 4-(C₂H₅)₂N (1.19) > 4-(CH₃)₂N (1.18) > 2-CN (1.04) > 4-CH₃CO (0.71) > 4-CH₃CONH (0.63). Decomposition of the copolymers in nitrogen occurred in two steps, first in the 200–500°C range with residue (3.6–9.5% wt), which then decomposed in the 500–800°C range.

The thermal reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with ethacrynic acid, 4‐[bis(2‐chlorethyl)amino]benzenebutanoic acid (chlorambucil), or 4‐phenylbutyric acid in refluxing solvents, followed by addition of two‐electron donor ligands (L), gives the diruthenium complexes Ru₂(CO)₄(O₂CR)₂L₂ ( 1 : R = CH₂O‐C₆H₂Cl₂‐COC(CH₂)C₂H₅, L = C₅H₅N; 2 : R = CH₂O‐C₆H₂Cl₂‐COC(CH₂)C₂H₅, L = PPh₃; 3 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₄‐N(C₂H₄‐Cl)₂, L = C₅H₅N; 4 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₄‐N(C₂H₄‐Cl)₂, L = PPh₃; 5 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₅, L = C₅H₅N; 6 : R = C₃H₆‐C₆H₅, L = PPh₃). The single‐crystal structure analyses of 2 , 3 , 5 and 6 reveal a dinuclear Ru₂(CO)₄ sawhorse structure, the diruthenium backbone being bridged by the carboxylato ligands, while the two L ligands occupy the axial positions of the diruthenium unit.

Acyl and Alkylidenephosphines. XlX. Molecular and Crystal Structure of 2,4-Bis (dimethyl-amino) ?1,3-diphenyl-l, 3-diphosphetane 4-Methyl-1,2,6-triarsa-tricyclo[2.2.1.0^2.6]-heptan, CH₃C(CH₂As)₃, ( 1 ) reacts with Ru₃(CO)₁₂ to the presumable polymeric [Ru(CO)₄CH₃C(CH₂As)₃]_n ( 2 ), while no reaction takes place with Os₃(CO)₁₂·Os₃(CO)₁₁CH₃CN forms with 1 at ?20°C Os₆(CO)₂₁CH₂As)₃ ( 3 ). The reaction of 1 and Co₂(CO)₈ yields [Co₂(CO)₆CH₃C(CH₂As)₃]_n ( 4 ). 1 and Ir(CO)₂(p-CH₃C₆H₄NH₂)Cl reacts in THF solution to [{Ir(CO)(THF]Cl}₃{CH₃C(CH₂As)₃}₂] ( 5 ), which contains a μ₃-(η²Cη¹O) carbonmonoxide. Upon treatment of [(μ-Cl)Ir(C₈H₁₂)]₂ with 1 [{Ir(C₈H₁₂)Cl}₉{CH₃C(CH₂As)₃}₇] ( 6 ) is obtained. The reaction of 1 with Ir(CO)(PPh₃)₂Cl yields in THF [Ir(CO)(PPh₃)(Cl)CH₃C(CH₂As)₃]₂ · THF ( 7a ). Heating of 7a in CH₂Cl₂ leads to the formation of [Ir(CO)(PPh₃)(Cl)CH₃C(CH₂As)₃ · CH₂Cl₂]₂ ( 7b ). Pt(PPh₃)₃ reacts with 1 in THF to give [Pt(PPh₃)CH₃C(CH₂As)₃]₂ · THF ( 8 ). The novel compounds are mostly insoluble or slightly soluble. They are characterized by elemental and thermogravimetric analysis, IR and, as far as possible, Raman and NMR Spectra. The results indicate that 1 react with the d⁸, d⁹, and d¹⁰ systems of the VIIIb metals under oxidative additions.     

Olefin complexes of rhodium(I) containing the ligands but-3-enyldiphenylphosphine and diphenylpent-4-enylphosphine

But-3-enyldiphenylphosphine (mbp) and diphenylpent-4-enylphosphine (mpp) react with Rh₂Cl₂(C₂H₄)₄ (molar ratio $\text{2}\text{1}$ to form the four coordinate dimeric complexes Rh₂Cl₂(mbp)₂ and Rh₂Cl₂(mpp)₂ respectively, while but-3-enyldiphenylphosphine reacts with Rh₂Cl₂(C₂H₄)₄ (molar ratio $\text{4}\text{1}$) to form RhCl(mbp)₂, a five coordinate complex in the solid state. The dimers further react with sodium tetraphenylborate to give the π-bonded tetraphenylborate complexes Rh[mbp][C₆H₅)₄B] and Rh[i-mpp][(C₆H₅)₄B] where i-mpp = (C₆H₅)₂P(CH₂CH₂CHCHCH₃). RhCl(CO)(mbp)₂ reacts with sodium tetraphenylborate to form the five coordinate cationic complex [Rh(CO)(mbp)₂][(C₆H₅)₄B].

Übergangsmetall-substituierte vb elementsysteme : VIII. Darstellung und komplexchemisches verhalten von cyclopentadienyl(tricarbonyl)viametall-dimethylstibinen

Starting with the cyclopentadienyl(carbonyl)metal anions [π-C₅H₅(CO)₃M]^? (M = Cr, Mo, W) and (CH₃)₂SbBr, transition metal-substituted stibines of the form π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MSb(CH₃)₂ are obtained. The nucleophilic character of the VB element primarily determines the reactivity of these species, and shows itself in alkyl halide quarternization (a) or ligand exchange on activated metal carbonyl complexes (b). (a) yields the trialkylstibine-substituted metal cations [π-C₅H₅-(CO)₃MSb(CH₃)₂R]X (R = CH₃, CH₂CH=CH₂, CH₂C₆H₅; X = Br, J), (b) leads to the formation of the metal carbonyl derivatives LM(CO)₅, L₂M(CO)₄ (M = Cr, Mo, W), LNi(CO)₃ and LFe(CO)₄ [L = (CH₃)₂SbM(CO)₃-π-C₅H₅] which are the first (CH₃)₂Sb-bridged polynuclear complexes. Phosphorus ylides cause heterolytic cleavage of the antimonytransition metal bond. Transfer of the (CH₃)₂Sb-group to the ylidic carbanion occurs via substitution/transylidation. All new compounds have been fully characterized by means of ¹H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy     

SYNTHESES AND REACTIONS OF THE COMPLEXES (η5-C5Me5)Re(CO)2(C6CL5–nHn)Cl (n = 2,3): COMPOUNDS DERIVED FROM INITIAL C—CI ACTIVATION

Abstract

The UV irradiation of (η⁵-C₅Me₅)Re(CO)₃ in the presence of 1,2,4,5-C₆Cl₄H₂ and 1,3,5-C₆Cl₃H₃ (λ = 350 nm, hexane solution) effected intramolecular C—Cl activation, generating the complexes trans-(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Re(CO)₂(2,4,5-C₆Cl_5-nH_n)Cl, ((1), n = 2; (2), n = 3), respectively. Complex (1) dissolved in polar organic solvents produces, an equilibrium mixture with its cis isomer. The reaction of (1) with AgBF₄, in acetonitrile, led to formation of the cationic complex [cis-(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Re(CO)₂(2,4,5-C₆Cl₃H₂)(MeCN)]⁺. The tetramethylfulvene complex (η⁶-C₅Me₄CH₂)Re(CO)₂(2,4,5-C₆Cl₃H₂) (3) was obtained by reacting the cationic complex with the fluorinating agent Et₃N′3HF.     

Shock‐tube and modeling study of acetaldehyde pyrolysis and oxidation

Pyrolysis and oxidation of acetaldehyde were studied behind reflected shock waves in the temperature range 1000–1700 K at total pressures between 1.2 and 2.8 atm. The study was carried out using the following methods, (1) time‐resolved IR‐laser absorption at 3.39 μm for acetaldehyde decay and CH‐compound formation rates, (2) time‐resolved UV absorption at 200 nm for CH₂CO and C₂H₄ product formation rates, (3) time‐resolved UV absorption at 216 nm for CH₃ formation rates, (4) time‐resolved UV absorption at 306.7 nm for OH radical formation rate, (5) time‐resolved IR emission at 4.24 μm for the CO₂ formation rate, (6) time‐resolved IR emission at 4.68 μm for the CO and CH₂CO formation rate, and (7) a single‐pulse technique for product yields. From a computer‐simulation study, a 178‐reaction mechanism that could satisfactorily model all of our data was constructed using new reactions, CH₃CHO (+M) → CH₄ + CO (+M), CH₃CHO (+M) → CH₂CO + H₂(+M), H + CH₃CHO → CH₂CHO + H₂, CH₃ + CH₃CHO → CH₂CHO + CH₄, O₂ + CH₃CHO → CH₂CHO + HO₂, O + CH₃CHO → CH₂CHO + OH, OH + CH₃CHO → CH₂CHO + H₂O, HO₂ + CH₃CHO → CH₂CHO + H₂O₂, having assumed or evaluated rate constants. The submechanisms of methane, ethylene, ethane, formaldehyde, and ketene were found to play an important role in acetaldehyde oxidation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 40: 73–102, 2008     

Synthesis and reactions of the transition metal substituted tin hydride HSn[Mo(CO)3C5H5]3

Reaction of HMo(CO)₃C₅H₅ and Sn(C₅H₅)₂ produces the tin hydride HSn[Mo(CO)₃C₅H₅]₃ (I). Reaction of I with CCl₄, CHCl₃, or CH₂Cl₂ gives ClSn[Mo(CO)₃C₅H₅]₃ (II). With hydrogen chloride the hydride I reacts to produce the dichloride Cl₂Sn[Mo(CO)₃C₅H₅]₂. The first step in this reaction is cleavage of the SnH bond to produce the chloride II. The hydride I reacts with acetic acid to produce the diacetate (CH₃COO)₂Sn[Mo(CO)₃C₅H₅]₂.
