Hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated substrates by tris(2-phridyl)amine (tpN) or tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine (tpP)/[Ir(COE)2Cl]2 catalyst systems

This work describes the homogeneous hydrogenation of different α,β-unsaturated substrates by using as catalyst systems the complex [Ir(COE)₂Cl]₂ stabilized by tris(2-pyridyl)amine (tpN) or tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine (tpP) formed in situ under the following reaction conditions: pH₂ = 34 atm; T=373 K; substrate/catalyst ratio = 100, [ligand]/[metal]: 2,1; toluene (50 mL); R.P.M.: 430; t = 6 h. The activities varies from low to moderate range, where both ligands proved to be catalyst systems able to hydrogenate C=C and C=O bonds.     

(Nitro‐κN)[2‐(phenyldiazenyl‐κN2)pyridine‐κN](2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐κ3N)ruthenium(II) tetrafluoroborate

The Ru—N bond distances in the title complex, [Ru(NO₂)(C₁₁H₉N₃)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)]BF₄ or [Ru(NO₂)(tpy)(azpy)]BF₄, [tpy is 2,2′:6′,2′′‐ter­pyridine and azpy is 2‐(phenyl­azo)­pyridine], are Ru—N_py 2.063 (4), Ru—N_azo 2.036 (4), Ru—N_nitro 2.066 (3) Å, and Ru—N_tpy 2.082 (4), 1.982 (3) and 2.074 (4) Å. The azo N atom is trans to the nitro group. The azo N=N bond length is 1.265 (5) Å, which is the shortest found in such complexes to date. This indicates a multiple bond between Ru and the N atom of the nitro group, and π‐­backbonding [dπ(Ru) π*(azo)] is decreased.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic properties of manganese compounds of keto- and enol-coordinated di-2-pyridyl ketone benzoyl hydrazone (dpkbh). Reactions of [Mn(CO)5Br] with dpkbh

Reactions between [Mn(CO)₅Br] and dpkbh in low boiling solvents in air gave fac-[Mn^I(CO)₃(κ²-N_py,N_im-dpkbh)Br]·H₂O, [Mn^IIBr₂(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh)], and [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂]·0.5H₂O (N_im = imine nitrogen and N_py = pyridyl nitrogen). Crystallization of fac-[Mn^I(CO)₃(κ²-N_py,N_im-dpkbh)Br]·H₂O from dmso or CH₃CN produced dark red crystals of [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂]·nX (X = dmso, n = 1 and X = H₂O, n = 0.22). This is in contrast to the reaction of [Re(CO)₅Cl] with dpkbh in refluxing toluene to form fac-[Re^I(CO)₃(κ²-,N_py,N_py-dpkbh)Cl] which can be crystallized from CH₃CN, dmso or dmf to form fac-[Re^I(CO)₃(κ²-,N_py,N_py-dpkbh)Cl]·nX (X = CH₃CN, n = 0 and solvate = dmso or dmf, n = 1). Infrared spectral measurements are consistent with keto coordination of dpkbh to Mn(I) in fac-[Mn^I(CO)₃(κ²-N_py,N_im-dpkbh)Br]·H₂O and Mn(II) in [Mn^IIBr₂(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh)] plus enol coordination of the amide-deprotonated dpkbh, to the Mn(II) center in [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂]·0.5H₂O. Electronic absorption spectral measurements in non-aqueous solvents indicate sensitivity of fac-[Mn^I(CO)₃(κ²-N_py,N_im-dpkbh)Br]·H₂O and [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂]·0.5H₂O to changes in their outer-shell environments. X-ray crystallographic analyses elucidated the identities of [Mn^IIBr₂(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh)] and [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂]·nX and divulged weaker coordination of [dpkbh] to Mn(II) in [Mn^IIBr₂(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh)] and stronger coordination of [dpkbh-H]^? to Mn(II) in [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂]·0.22H₂O. Low-temperature X-ray structural analyses were employed to account for the disorder in the structure of [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂] and the short NH bond distance observed in the structure of [Mn^IIBr₂(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh)]. A PLATON Squeeze treatment was invoked to account for the fractional occupancy of lattice water in the structure of [Mn^II(κ³-N_py,N_im,O-dpkbh-H)₂].     

Rhenium(I) Tellurolate,Telluroether and Bidentate-Telluroether Complexes: Crystal Structures of Re(CO)3Br(PhTe(CH2)3TePh), PhTeRe(CO)5 Re2(μ-SePh)2(CO)8 and [(PhTeMe)Re(CO)5][BF4]

The monomeric rhenium(I) complex with bidentate telluroether ligand Re(CO)₃Br(PhTe(CH₂)₃TePh) (1) was accessible via reaction of the PhTe(CH₂)₃TePh with Re(CO)₅Br. This chelate complex crystallized in triclinic space group $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $ with a = 9.390(5) Å, b = 10.961(3) Å, c = 11.849(4) Å a = 63.30(3)°, β = 87.49(4)° γ = 69.31(4)°, V = 1009.5(7) ų Z = 2, R = 0.033, and R_w = 0.034. Reaction of Re(CO)₅Cl with NaTePh yielded the Re(I) specics PhTeRe(CO)₅ (2). This complex crystallized in triclinic space group $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $ with a = 7.085(1) Å, b = 9.203(1) Å, c = 11.341(1) Å, α = 107.24(1)°, β = 100.56(1)°, γ = 96.47(1)°, V = 683.2(2) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.027, R_w = 0.022. Reaction of PhTeRe(CO)₅ and (PhSe)₂ in THF at 65 °C yielded a product that was confirmed crystallographically to be the known species Re₂(μ-SePh)₂(CO)₈ (3), in which two phenylselenolate ligands bridge the two Re(I). Compound 3 crystallized in monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 7.210(2) Å, b = 18.862(6) Å, c = 9.083(3) Å, β = 107.48(3)° V = 1178.2(7) ų, Z = 2, R = 0.046, and R_w = 0.051. Methylation of PhTeRe(CO)₅ with [Me₃O][BF₄] afforded Re(I) product [(PhTeMe)Re(CO)₅][BF₄] (4). This monodentate telluroether species crystallized in monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 8.405(1) Å, b = 13.438(3) Å, c = 15.560(2) Å, β = 92.59(1)° V = 1755.5(5) ų, Z = 4, R = 0.035, and R_w = 0.035.     

Kristallstrukturen,Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalysen der Chloro-Iodo-Rhenate(IV) (CH2Py2)[ReCl5I], cis-(CH2Py2)[ReCl4I2] · 2 DMSO,trans-(CH2Py2)[ReCl4I2] · 2 DMSO und fac-(EtPh3P)2[ReCl3I3]

Crystal Structures, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analyses of the Chloro-Iodo-Rhenates(IV) (CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₅I], cis -(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO, trans -(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO, and fac -(EtPh₃P)₂[ReCl₃I₃] [ReCl₅I]^2–, cis-[ReCl₄I₂]^2–, trans-[ReCl₄I₂]^2–, and fac-[ReCl₃I₃]^2– have been synthesized by ligand exchange reactions of [ReI₆]^2– with HCl and are separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. X-ray structure determinations have been performed on single crystals of (CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₅I] ( 1 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 7.685(2), b = 9.253(2), c = 12.090(4) Å, α = 90.06(2), β = 101.11(2), γ = 95.07(2)°, Z = 2), cis-(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO ( 2 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 8.662(2), b = 12.109(2), c = 12.9510(12) Å, a = 97.533(11), β = 96.82(2), γ = 89.90(2)°, Z = 2) , trans-(CH₂Py₂)[ReCl₄I₂] · 2 DMSO ( 3 ) (triclinic, space group P1 with a = 9.315(7), b = 9.663(3), c = 15.232(3) Å, α = 80.09(2), β = 81.79(4), γ = 83.99(5)°, Z = 2) and fac-(EtPh₃P)₂[ReCl₃I₃] ( 4 ) (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a with a = 17.453(2), b = 13.366(1), c = 19.420(1) Å, β = 112.132(8)°, Z = 4). The crystal structure of ( 1 ) reveals a positional disorder of the anion sublattice along the asymmetric axis. Due to the stronger trans influence of I compared with Cl on asymmetric axes Cl˙–Re–I′ is caused a mean lenghthening of the Re–Cl˙ distances of 0.020 Å (0.8%) and a shortening of the Re–I′ distances of 0.035 Å (1.3%) with regard to symmetrically coordinated axes Cl–Re–Cl and I–Re–I, respectively. Using the molecular parameters of the X-Ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) salts of all four chloro-iodo-rhenates(IV) are assigned by normal coordinate analyses. The weakening of the Re–Cl˙ bonds and the strengthening of the Re–I′ bonds is indicated by a decrease or increase of the valence force constants each by 9%.     

NUCLEOPHILIC ADDITION OF WATER AND ETHANOL TO COORDINATED DI-(2-PYRIDYL)KETONE IN RHENIUM(V) AND TECHNETIUM(V) COMPLEXES. THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DICHLORO(HYDROXY-DI-(2-PYRIDYL)METHOXIDE)OXORHENIUM(V)

Abstract

Complexes of general formula MOCl₂[(C₅H₄N)₂C(O)(OR)] (M = Re, Tc; R = H, Et) were prepared by the reaction of trans-ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂ and (n-Bu₄N)[TcOCl₄] with di-(2-pyridyl)ketone (DPK) in ethanol (R = Et) under nitrogen and in benzene, containing trace amounts of water, in air (R = H). The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, vibrational, optical and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The evidence suggests that the coordinated DPK ligand has undergone addition of water and ethanol at the carbonylic carbon atom, and that the (C₅H₄N)₂C(o)(OR) moiety acts as a uninegative, terdentate N,O,N-donor ligand. The X-ray crystal structure of the complex ReOCl₂[(C₅H₄N)₂C(O)(OH)] is also reported. Crystal data: C₁₁H₉N₂O₃Cl₂Re, orthorhombic, space group Pcca; a = 14.935(5), b = 11.896(8), c = 14.937(11)Å, and U = 2653.8 (2.7)ų to give Z = 8 for D _calc = 2.37 g cm_?3. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by least-squares methods to R = 0.076. The complex has an Re = O bond distance of 1.67(2)Å, and a deprotonated diolate oxygen of the ligand is coordinated in the position trans to the oxo group.     

Tricarbonylrhenium(I) and -technetium(I) complexes with bis(2-pyridyl)phenylphosphine and tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine

(NEt₄)₂[Re(CO)₃Br₃] or (NEt₄)₂[Tc(CO)₃Cl₃] react with bis(2-pyridyl)phenylphosphine (PPhpy₂) or tris(2-pyridyl)phosphine (Ppy₃) under formation of neutral tricarbonyl complexes of the composition [M(CO)₃X(L)] (M = Re, X = Br; M = Tc, X = Cl; L = PPhpy₂ or Ppy₃). In all isolated products, the ligands coordinate solely via two of their nitrogen atoms. All attempts to force a tripodal coordination of the phosphinopyridines failed. Removal of the bromo ligands from (NEt₄)₂[Re(CO)₃Br₃] by the addition of AgNO₃ in THF/water, and subsequent reaction of the resulting [Re(CO)₃(THF)₃](NO₃)with Ppy₃ yielded the complex [Re(CO)₃(NO₃)(Ppy₃-N,N′)] with a monodentate coordinated nitrato ligand. The products have been characterized spectroscopically and by X-ray structure analyses.     

Copper(II)-assisted thorough hydrolysis of 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)1,3,5-triazine (tptz). Crystal structures of bis(2-pyridylcarboxylato)-copper(II) dihydrate and bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)-amido-2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine-copper(II) dicyanamide heptahydrate

2,4,6-Tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz) undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of copper(II) acetate affording bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido-copper(II) and free 2-pyridylcarboxylic anion. Two compounds of formulas [Cu(NC₅H₄COO)₂]·2H₂O (1) and [Cu(NC₅H₄CO)₂N(tptz)](N(CN)₂)·7H₂O (2), where NC₅H₄COO^? and (NC₅H₄CO)₂N^? are 2-pyridylcarboxylate and bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amido-anion, respectively, were obtained from methanol/ethanol solution of tptz with copper acetate; they were characterized by element analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction method. Single crystal XRD analysis shows that in complex 1 coordination number around Cu atom is 4 with distorted square-planar coordination geometry and in complex 2 coordination number around Cu atom is 6 with distorted octahedral geometry. Crystal data for 1: a = 5.1359(10) Å, b = 7.6471(15) Å, c = 9.2303(18) Å, α = 74.90(3)°, β = 84.36(3)°, γ = 71.37(3)°, space group P1, crystal system triclinic, Z = 1, V = 331.6(1) ų, d _calc = 1.721 g/cm³. Crystallographic data for 2: space group C2/c, crystal system monoclinic, a = 23.976(5) Å, b = 15.465(3) Å, c = 18.649(4) Å, β = 92.66(3)°, V = 6907(2) ų, d _calc = 1.0448 g/cm³, Z = 4.     

Vierkernige Clusterkomplexe vom Typ [MM′(AuPR3)2(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy2)(μ4‐PCy)(CO)6] (M,M′ = Mn,Re; R = Ph,Cy, Et): Synthese,Struktur und Topomerisierung

Tetranuclear Cluster Complexes of the Type [MM′(AuR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (M,M′ = Mn, Re; R = Ph, Cy, Et): Synthesis, Structure, and Topomerisation The dirhenium complex [Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 1 ) reacts at room temperature in thf solution with each two equivalents of the base DBU and of ClAuPR₃ (R = Ph, Cy, Et) in a photochemical reaction process to afford the tetranuclear clusters [Re₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 2 ), Cy ( 3 ), Et ( 4 )) in yields of 35–48%. The homologue [Mn₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 5 ) leads under the same reaction conditions to the corresponding products [Mn₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 6 ), Et ( 8 )). Also [MnRe(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax/eq‐H₂PCy)] ( 9 ) reacts under formation of [MnRe(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 10 ), Et ( 11 )). All new cluster complexes were identified by means of ¹H‐NMR, ³¹P‐NMR and ν(CO)‐IR spectroscopic measurements. 2 , 4 and 10 have also been characterized by single crystal X‐ray structure analyses with crystal parameters: 2 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.256(4) Å, b = 12.326(4) Å, c = 24.200(6) Å, α = 83.77(2)°, β = 78.43(2)°, γ = 68.76(2)°, Z = 2; 4 monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 12.851(3) Å, b = 18.369(3) Å, c = 40.966(8) Å, β = 94.22(1)°, Z = 8; 10 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.083(1) Å, b = 12.185(2) Å, c = 24.017(6) Å, α = 83.49(29)°, β = 78.54(2)°, γ = 69.15(2)°, Z = 2. The trapezoid arrangement of the metal atoms in 2 and 4 show in the solid structure trans‐positioned an open and a closed Re…Au edge. In solution these edges are equivalent and, on the ³¹P NMR time scale, represent two fluxional Re–Au bonds in the course of a topomerization process. Corresponding dynamic properties were observed for the dimanganese compounds 6 and 8 but not for the related MnRe clusters 10 and 11 . 2 and 4 are the first examples of cluster compounds with a permanent Re–Au bond valence isomerization.     

A Novel Dinuclear Nickel(II) Complex with Three Bridges of Cl–, OAc– and (‐OCH2CH2O‐) Group of N,N, N′, N′‐Tetrakis(2‐benzimidazolyl methyl‐1, 4‐di‐ethylene amino) Glycol Ether

The novel dinuclear Ni²⁺ complex [Ni₂(μ‐Cl)(μ‐OAc) (EGTB)]·Cl·ClO₄·2CH₃OH, where EGTB is N, N, N′, N′‐tetrakis (2‐benzimidazolyl methyl‐1, 4‐di‐ethylene amino)glycol ether, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 15.272(2), b = 14.768(2), c = 22.486(3) Å, V = 5071.4(12) ų, Z = 4, D_calc = 1.414 g cm^?3, and is bridged by triply bridging agents of a chloride ion, an acetate and an intra‐ligand (‐OCH₂CH₂O‐) group. The nickel coordination geometry is that of a slightly distorted octahedron with a NiN₃O₂Cl arrangement of the ligand donor atoms. The Ni–Cl distance is 2.361(2) Å, and two Ni–O distances are 1.996(5) and 2.279(6) Å. The three Ni–N distances are 2.033(7), 2.060(6), and 2.166(6) Å with the Ni–N bond trans to an ether oxygen the shortest, the Ni–N bond trans to an acetate oxygen the middle and the Ni–N bond trans to Cl the longest.     

Physico-chemical properties of the first metal compound of di-2-pyridylketone p-nitrophenoxyacetic acid hydrazone (dpknxh), fac-Re(CO)3(κ2-Npy,Npy-dpknxh)Cl

Abstract

Di-2-pyridyl ketone p-nitrophenoxyacetic acid hydrazone (1), obtained from acid-catalyzed condensation of di-2-pyridyl ketone (dpk) with p-nitrophenoxyacetic acid hydrazide, reacts with Re(CO)₅Cl in refluxing toluene to form fac-Re(CO)₃(κ²-N_py,N_py-dpknxh)Cl (2). 1 and 2 were identified from the results of their elemental analyses, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties. X-ray structural analysis on single crystals of 1 and 2 grown from CH₃CN solutions and fac-Re(CO)₃(κ²-N_py,N_py-dpknxh)Cl·DMSO (3) grown from a DMSO solution of 2 confirmed their identities. Spectrophotometric titrations of protophilic solutions of 2 with protophilic solutions of NaBX₄ (X?=?H or F) divulged inter-conversion between the high- and low-energy ILCT transitions of 2 and its solvated complex. Substrates in low concentrations can be detected and determined using protophilic solutions of 2. Electrochemical measurements on 1 and 2 disclosed irreversible redox transformations leading to decomposition of 1 and 2 following the first electron transfer.     

Cluster chemistry. 61. Addition of HX (XCl,Br,I) or AuCl(PPh3) to an open Ru5 cluster. X-ray structures of Ru5(μ-H)(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(μ-Br)(CO)13 and Ru5(μ-H)(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ3-I)(μ-PPh2)(CO)12

Reactions of aqueous HX (X?Cl, Br) or of AuCl(PPh₃) with Ru₅(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂)(CO)₁₃ result in addition of the 4e-donor set (H + X) or (Au(PPh₃) + Cl) with concomitant opening of two Ru? Ru bonds to give complexes containing dimetallated triangular of ‘scorpion’ cores. Aqueous HI reacts similarly, but in this case the iodide ligand spans three Ru atoms, the (H + I) set acting as 6e-donor. The structures of the two title compounds were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic studies. Ru₅(μ-H)(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂)-(μ-Br)(CO)₁₃ is triclinic, space group P1 , a = 9.689(2), b = 11.874(2), c = 20.005(4) Å, α = 84.66(2), β = 82.90(6), λ = 67.51(6)°, Z = 2; 6478 data with I > 2σ(I) were refined to R = 0.0368, R_w = 0.0362. Ru₅(μ-H)(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ₃-I)(μ-PPh₂)-(CO)₁₂.CH₂Cl₂ is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 14.809(4), b = 20.721(4), c = 17.698(5) Å, β = 111.42(2)°, Z = 4; 7815 data with I > 2σ(I) were refined to R = 0.0440, R_w = 0.0416.     

(Acetonitrile){2,6‐bis­[1‐(2‐ethyl‐6‐methyl­phenyl­imino)­ethyl]­pyridine}­dichloro­ruthenium(II) dichloro­methane hemisolvate: a chain of edge‐fused R66(24) rings

In the title compound, [RuCl₂(C₂H₃N)(C₂₇H₃₁N₃)]·0.5CH₂Cl₂, the Ru^II ion is six‐coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral arrangement, with the two Cl atoms located in the apical positions, and the pyridine (py) N atom, the two imino N atoms and the acetonitrile N atom located in the basal plane. The dichloromethane solvent mol­ecule lies on a twofold axis. The two equatorial Ru—N_imino distances are almost equal (mean 2.089 Å) and are substantially longer than the equatorial Ru—N_py bond [1.914 (4) Å]. It is observed that the N_imino—M—N_py bond angle for the five‐membered chelate rings of pyridine‐2,6‐diimine complexes is inversely related to the magnitude of the M—N_py bond. The title structure is stabilized by intra‐ and inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The inter­molecular hydrogen bonds form an R₆⁶(24) ring and a chain of edge‐fused rings running parallel to the [001] direction.     

Gemischtligand-Komplexe des Rheniums. IV. Die Reaktion von [ReNCl2(Me2PhP)3] mit Dithiocarbamaten. Kristallstrukturen von trans-Chloro-dimethyldithiocarbamato-bis(dimethylphenylphosphan) nitridorhenium(V), [ReN(Cl)(Me2PhP)2(Me2dtc)], und Bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)(dimethylphenylphosphan)nitridorhenium(V), [ReN(Me2PhP)(Et2dtc)2]

Mixed-Ligand Complexes of Rhenium IV. The Reaction of [ReNCl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] with Dithiocarbamates. X-Ray Crystal Structures of trans-Chloro-dimethyldithiocarbamato-bis(dimethylphenylphosphine) nitridorhenium(V), [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(Me₂dtc)], and Bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)(dimethylphenylphosphine)nitridorhenium(V), [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)(Et₂dtc)₂] [ReNCl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] reacts with dialkyldithiocarbamates, R₂dtc^?, under a stepwise ligand exchange. Final products of these reactions are the well-known [ReN(R₂dtc)₂] bischelates. Intermediatelly, however, complexes of the general formulae [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(R₂dtc)] and [ReN(Me₂PhP)(R₂dtc)₂] can be isolated. Representatives have been structurally characterized. [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(Me₂dtc)] crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P2₁/c, Z = 4. The dimensions of the unit cell are a = 13.071(3); b = 11.622(1); c = 15.667(3) Å; β = 97.09(1)°. The rhenium atom has a distorted octahedral environment; the Re≡N bond length is 1.71(1) Å. The Re? Cl bond distance is markedly lengthened (2.665(2) Å) as a consequence of the strong trans labilizing influence of the coordinated nitrido ligand. [ReN(Me₂PhP)(Et₂dtc)₂] crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 17.262(3); b = 14.915(2); c = 9.888(2); β = 76.35(8)°. The equatorial coordination sphere is occupied by one phosphorus atom and three sulphur atoms. One of the dithiocarbamate ligands is coordinated bidentately; the second one with two distinct Re? S bond lengths. The Re? S(4) distance is 2.7983(2) Å which can be discussed as a weak interaction with the metal.

AN UNUSUAL RUTHENIUM(II) COMPLEX OF 2-(2-PYRIDYL)BENZOTHIAZOLE

Abstract

The ligand 2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole (L) can act both as an N-N and an N-S chelating donor. The latter coordination mode is expected to be preferred when it is involved in coordination to Ru(II) which is a soft acceptor centre However, in the title compound, chlorobis(acetonitrile)triphenylphosphino-2-(2-pyridyl)benzothiazole-N,N-ruthenium(II) chlride, [Ru(L)(PPh₃(CH₃CN)₂Cl]Cl, the ligand acts in N,N-bidentate manner and the Ru(II) ion is found to be present in an N₄PCl coordination environment. PPh₃ and Cl are trans to each other and the two CH₃CN ligands occupy cis positions facing the NN donor atoms of ligand L.

Both trans,trans-[MoX₂py₄][MoX₄py₂] are monoclinic, P2₁/n space group, with z = 2 and: a = 12.568(1), b = 9.430(1), c = 14.952(1) Å and β = 100.81(1)° (A); a = 12.551(2), b = 9.533(2), c = 15.366(2) (Å) and β = 99.35(1) (B). Cations and anions are located on the symmetry centers and have eclipsed conformation of the trans located pyridine ligands. Average Mo? X and Mo? N (pyridine) bonds are; (cation) 2.41, 2.21 Å (A); 2.54, 2.21 Å (B); (anion) 2.44, 2.20 Å (A); 2.58, 2.20 Å (B). Anionic part of the compounds can be oxidised by bromine to trans-MoX₄py₂, which precipitates from the solution. Cation can be isolated from the solution in the form of trans-[MoX₂py₄]Br₃ (X = Cl, Br). The compounds were also characterised by chemical analysis, infrared spectroscopy and conductivity measurements.
