Synthesis and structure of hexabenzyl-dimolybdenum (MoMo)

The homoleptic benzyl Mo₂(CH₂Ph)₆ has been obtained by reaction of either MoCl₄(thf)₂ or Mo₂(OPrⁱ)₆ with Mg(CH₂Ph)₂. The dark-red, sparingly soluble complex has been characterized by ¹H and ¹³C NMR as well as by a solid-state structure analysis. Pertinent bond distances (Å) and angles (°) for the unbridged, ethane-like molecule which contains crystallographic S₆-symmetry are: MoMo = 2.175(1), MoC = 2.162(2), MoMoC = 97.61(6), and MoCC(Ph) = 98.9(1).     

Photochemical reactions of M(CO)5THF (M = Cr, Mo, W) with thio Schiff bases

The hitherto unknown complexes, [M₂(CO)₆(μ-CO)(μ-L)], [M = Cr; 1, Mo; 2, W; 3] and [M₂(CO)₆(μ-CO)(μ-L′)], [M = Cr; 4, Mo; 5, W; 6] have been synthesized by the photochemical reactions of photogenerated intermediate, M(CO)₅THF (M = Cr, Mo, W) with thio Schiff base ligands, N,N′-bis(2-aminothiophenol)-1,4-bis(2-carboxaldehydephenoxy)butane (H ₂ L) and N,N′-bis(2-aminothiophenol)-1,7-bis(2-formylphenyl)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane (H ₂ L′). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, LC-mass spectrometry, magnetic studies, FT-IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The spectroscopic studies show that H ₂ L and H ₂ L′ ligands are converted to benzothiazole derivatives, L and L′ after UV irradiation and coordinated to the central metal as bridging ligands via the central azomethine nitrogen and sulphur atoms in 1–6.     

Reactions of ((i)PrO)3M≡M(O(i)Pr)3 (M = Mo, W) with low-coordinate phosphorus compounds. Formation of the first four-membered planar metallacycles, containing an M≡M triple bond

The low-coordinate phosphorus compounds (Me(3)Si)(2)N-P=NSiMe(3), (Me(3)Si)(2)N-P(=S)=N(t)Bu and (Me(3)Si)(2)N-P(=NSiMe(3))(2) react with ((i)PrO)(3)M≡M(O(i)Pr)(3) (M = Mo, W) to form four- and five-membered metallacycles with intact endocyclic or exocyclic M≡M triple bonds. The first four-membered planar metallacycles, containing an M≡M triple bond were obtained in reaction with (Me(3)Si)(2)N-P=NSiMe(3).     

Thermal and photochemical interaction of octacyanometallates(IV), [M(CN)8]4− (M = Mo or W) in the presence of pyrazine

The interactions between [M(CN)₈]^4– (M = Mo or W) and pyrazine (pz) in the solid state and in aqueous solutions have been analysed. In strongly acidic solutions {pzH⁺, [M(CN)₈]^4–} ion pair formation is observed; the pyrazinium salts (pzH)₂(H₃O)₂[Mo(CN)₈]·0.5pz·3H₂O and (pzH)₂K(H₃O)[W(CN)₈]·H₂O have been isolated. The X-ray crystal structure of the latter, and the spectroscopic properties of both, are described. The [W(CN)₈]^4– anion is approximately square antiprismatic (D_4d), with different H-bond environments around the N atoms. The ligand-field photolysis of [M(CN)₈]^4– in the presence of pyrazine in neutral and alkaline solution results in the formation of tetracyanooxometallates(IV) in equilibrium with pentacyanooxometallates(IV) through the [M(CN)₇(pz)]^3– anions as intermediates. The formation of the [M(CN)₆(pz)₂]^2– ion, postulated in the literature to be the final product of the alkaline photolysis, has definitively been excluded.     

Substituted derivatives of tris(butadiene)-molybdenum and -tungsten; the molecular structures of (CH2CMeCMeCH2)3M (M = Mo,W)

Tris(substituted butadiene) complexes of molybdenum and tungsten have been prepared by the reduction of the metal halides with anthracene-activated magnesium in the presence of the appropriate diene. An X-ray diffraction study has shown tris(2,3-dimethylbutadiene)molybdenum and its tungsten analogue to be isomorphous, with each diene unit displaying a long—short—long bond alternation, and having short metal to terminal carbon atom distances, in marked contrast to the unsubstituted complexes.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis and Characterization of Two New Phosphatomolybdates(V) Containing Sandwich-Shaped [M(Mo6P4)2] Clusters (M = Co, Ni)

A new hybrid material, (H₂dien)₂(Hamimi)₂[Co₃Mo₁₂O₂₄(OH)₆(HPO₄)₆(PO₄)₂]₂ · nH₂O (1) (n = 5.26), was hydrothermally synthesized via a simultaneous in situ cyclization of acetic acid and diethylenetriamine to 1-(2-aminoethyl)-2-methyl-2-imidazoline. The sandwich-shaped [Co(Mo₆P₄)₂] clusters in 1 are linked by tetrahedrally coordinated cobalt into two-dimensional layers. It is interesting that no 2-imidazoline group was observed when the starting Co(II) salt was replaced by Ni(II) salt under the same hydrothermal conditions, but it led to the isolation of (Hdien)₂[NiMo₁₂O₂₄(OH)₆(H₂PO₄)₆(HPO₄)₂] · 2dien · 8H₂O (2), in which the [Ni(Mo₆P₄)₂] units are discrete. A probe reaction of the oxidation of acetaldehyde with H₂O₂ showed that both compounds have high catalytic activity in the reaction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the space group C2/c with a = 26.028(4), b = 12.3391(17), c = 25.555(4) Å, β = 98.876(12)°, V = 8109(2) Å³ and Z = 4. Compound 2 is in the space group P2₁/n with a = 13.206(3), b = 22.170(5), c = 13.627(3) Å, β = 103.437(5)°, V = 3880.7(15) ų and Z = 2.

Diamagnetic anisotropy of the MoMo bond in Mo2(O2CR)4 type complexes

By using newer structural and NMR data for Mo₂(O₂CR)₄ compounds with R = PhCH(OH) and CH₃ the diamagnetic anisotropy of the Mo-Mo quadruple bonds has been estimated as −(210±30) × 10⁻³⁶ m³ per molecule.     

Analysis of M···H-Si interactions in [{M(CpSiMe2H)Cl3}2], (M = Zr, Hf, Ti and Mo) complexes

For the d(0) complex [{Zr(CpSiMe(2)H)Cl(3)}(2)] which contains a linear Si-H···Zr interaction across the dimer, DFT calculations are in good agreement with X-ray structures. The BP86 functional shows a slightly stronger interaction than B3LYP but for qualitative purposes either functional is sufficient. QTAIM analysis shows a bond critical point (bcp) for the interaction, a small negative value for the total energy density [H((r))] and the H atomic basin decreases in energy, E(H), and atomic volume compared to the free ligand. NBO analysis showed E(2) for Si-H σ to Zr(dz(2)) donation at 42.8 kcal mol(-1) and a 34% spatial overlap for the interaction consistent with an inverse hydrogen bond. The Wiberg bond index for the interaction is 0.1735 (0.7205 for the Si-H bond), ν((Si-H)) and (1)J((Si-H)) at 2060 cm(-1) and 145.4 Hz compared to 2183 cm(-1) and 172.1 Hz in the free ligand. Using a "synthesis by computation" approach to forming like complexes, similar features were found for [{Hf(CpSiMe(2)H)Cl(3)}(2)]. The titanium complex [{Ti(CpSiMe(2)H)Cl(3)}(2)] does not contain any Si-H···Ti interaction as rotation about the C-Si bond of the ligand occurs to place the Si-H bond hydrogen closer to a terminal chloro ligand across the dimer. An increase in electron density on the metal in the d(2) complex [{Mo(CpSiMe(2)H)Cl(3)}(2)] results in a stronger interaction with a distinct QTAIM analysis bcp [ρ((r)) 0.0448 a.u.], a small negative value for H((r)) and a much reduced H atomic volume. NBO analysis shows E(2) for Si-H σ to Mo(dz(2)) donation at 143.1 kcal mol(-1) and a 29% spatial overlap. Mo(dz(2)) to Si-H σ* donation (back donation) is minimal [E(2) 1.3 kcal mol(-1), ~1% spatial overlap]. The Wiberg bond index is 0.3114 (0.5667 for the Si-H bond), ν((Si-H)) 2015 cm(-1) and (1)J((Si-H)) 120.6 Hz.

Tunability of the M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2) and M(III)(2)/M(II)M(III) (M=Mn, Co) couples in bis-μ-O,O'-carboxylato-μ-OR bridged complexes

A comparison of the electrochemical properties of a series of dinuclear complexes [M(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+) with M = Mn or Co, L = 2,6-bis(N,N-bis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-sulfonamido)-4-methylphenolato (bpsmp(-)) or 2,6-bis(N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl)-4-tert-butylphenolato (bpbp(-)) and R = H, CH(3), CF(3) or 3,4-dimethoxybenzoate demonstrates: (i) The electron-withdrawing sulfonyl groups in the backbone of bpsmp(-) stabilize the [M(2)(bpsmp)(RCO(2))(2)](+) complexes in their M(II)(2) oxidation state compared to their [M(2)(bpbp)(RCO(2))(2)](+) analogues. Manganese complexes are stabilised by approximately 550 mV and cobalt complexes by 650 mV. (ii) The auxiliary bridging carboxylato ligands further attenuate the metal-based redox chemistry. Substitution of two acetato for two trifluoroacetato ligands shifts redox couples by 300-400 mV. Within the working potential window, reversible or quasi-reversible M(II)M(III)? M(II)(2) processes range from 0.31 to 1.41 V for the [Co(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+/2+) complexes and from 0.54 to 1.41 V for the [Mn(2)(L)(RCO(2))(2)](+/2+) complexes versus Ag/AgCl for E(M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2)). The extreme limits are defined by the complexes [M(2)(bpbp)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)](+) and [M(2)(bpsmp)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)](+) for both metal ions. Thus, tuning the ligand field in these dinuclear complexes makes possible a range of around 0.9 V and 1.49 V for the one-electron E(M(II)M(III)/M(II)(2)) couple of the Mn and Co complexes, respectively. The second one-electron process, M(II)M(III)? M(III)(2) was also observed in some cases. The lowest potential recorded for the E°(M(III)(2)/M(II)M(III)) couple was 0.63 V for [Co(2)(bpbp)(CH(3)CO(2))(2)](2+) and the highest measurable potential was 2.23 V versus Ag/AgCl for [Co(2)(bpsmp)(CF(3)CO(2))(2)](2+).

The structure of compounds I–III was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The complexes I–IV are active initiators of metathesis polymerization of cycloolefins.

Electronic Structures, (d-p)π Conjugation Effects, and Spectroscopic Properties of Polyoxometalates: M6O19 2− (M=Cr, Mo, W)

The electronic structures and bonding of isopoly oxometalates M₆O₁₉ ^2– (M=Cr, Mo, W) have been investigated by using ab initio and relativistic density functional methods. We have discussed the role of the central oxygen atom and the (d-p) conjugation interactions between the metal and bridging oxygen atoms. It is found that there exist 12 three-centered two-electron (d-p-d) bonds for the three M₄(-O)₄ planar rings in M₆O₁₉ ^2– ions and these hexametalates are considered to have quasi-aromaticity. The (d-p) conjugation effects play essential role in stabilizing these cluster compounds, and the reduced (d-p) conjugation effects account for the instability of the isopoly oxochromate ion, Cr₆O₁₉ ^2–. The vibrational spectra and electronic spectra of M₆O₁₉ ^2– ions are evaluated and assigned theoretically and the calculated spectra are in fairly good agreement with the measured experimental results.
