Reaction of Mercury(II) Trifluoroacetate with Deprotonated (η6-Toluene)-, (η6-Diphenylmethane)-, and (η6-Triphenylmethane)(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) Complexes. Mercuration of Some Cationic (Arene)(cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) Complexes

Treatment with mercury(II) trifluoroacetate of deprotonated (⁶-toluene)- and (⁶-diphenyl- methane)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) complexes gave mono-, di-, and trisubstituted [from (⁶-toluene)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) cation] mercury-containing salts. The reaction of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate with deprotonated (⁶-triphenylmethane)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) afforded only the corresponding sym- metric mercury derivative. The same product was obtained by direct mercuration with mercury(II) trifluoroacetate of (⁶-triphenylmethane)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) on heating the reactants in boiling unhydrous ethanol. Reactions of the resulting mercury-containing compounds with acids, symmetrizing bases, and acylating agents were studied.     

Mercuration with Mercury(II) Trifluoroacetate of (η6-Aniline)- or (N,N-dimethylaniline)(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II)

The reaction of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate with the hexafluorophosphate of the ⁶-aniline-⁵cyclopentadienyliron(II) cation under reflux in dry ethanol gives rise to N-mono- and N,N-disubstituted mercury-containing salts of this cation. The same mercury-containing salts have been synthesized by the action of mercury(II) trifluoroacetate on the deprotonation product of the (⁶-aniline)(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) cation. Direct mercuration of the [⁶-(N,N-dimethylaniline)](⁵-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) cation into the para position of the benzene ring of the arene ligand has been performed. The reactivity of the compounds obtained has been studied.

Tricarbonylbis(η-cyclopentadienyl)diiron and iododicarbonyl(η-cyclopentadienyl)iron amine complexes

Summary The monodentate ligands, L, ethylamine, butylamine, cyclohexylamine, benzylamine, piperidine and morpholine, and bidentate ligands, L, 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2-bipyridyl react with tetracarbonylbis(-cyclopentadienyl)diiron to give monosubstituted derivatives, (-C₅H₅)₂Fe₂(CO)₃L, and with iododicarbonyl(-cyclopentadienyl)iron to yield ionic products, [(-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂L]I. I.r. spectral studies suggest that two isomeric (-C₅H₅)₂-Fe₂(CO)₃L molecules exist.     

Hydrophosphorylation of 1,3-Diphenyl-2-propen-1-one and 4-Phenyl-3-buten-2-one in the Coordinational Sphere of Carbonyl Complexes of Group VIB Metals

Synthetic procedures for preparing ²- and ⁴-complexes of chalcone and benzalacetone with hexacarbonyl mononuclear complexes of Group VIB metals were developed and conditions for selective ²- and ⁴-coordination of the heterodiene ligand were established. Hydrophosphorylation of the obtained complexes proceeds in the coordination sphere of the metal by the Abramov reaction scheme and yields the corresponding ²-coordinated -hydroxyphosphonates. As follows from quantum-chemical calculations, -coordination with metals makes the heterodienes no longer planar, which explains their regioselective phosphorylation by the more electrophilic carbonyl group.     

Ruthenium clusters containing the [2.2] paracyclophane ligand: Recent developments in arene-cluster chemistry

In this article we review the synthesis, reactivity, and characterization of a number of clusters bearing the [2.2] paracyclophane ligand with nuclearities ranging from two to eight. Particular attention is focused on the different coordination modes that paracyclophane adopts; these being µ₁- ⁶, µ₂- ³ : ³, µ₃- ¹ : ² : ², and µ₃- ² : ² : ². Structural modifications which take place within the ring system on bonding in these various modes are also discussed.     

Theoretical Study of 3-Penten-2-one Complexes of Iron and Chromium Subgroup Metals with Various Modes of the Enone Coordination

The calculated parameters of the steric and electronic structure and shielding constants of ²- (3-penten-2-one)Fe(CO)₄, ²-(3-penten-2-one)M(CO)₅, ⁴-(3-penten-2-one)Fe(CO)₃, and ⁴-(3-penten-2-one) ·M (CO)₄ (M = Cr, Mo, W) nicely agree with the experiment. Coordination of the -enone with transition metals significantly distorts the conjugation between the C = C and C = O bonds.

An electrophilic addition–elimination sequence is proposed for their formation.     

Preparation of μ-(η5:η5-Fulvalene)-di-μ-hydrido-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyltitanium) by the reduction of Cp2TiCl2 with LiAlH4 in aromatic solvents

Summary -(⁵:⁵-Fulvalene)-di--hydrido-bis(⁵-cyclopentadienyltitanium) (1) can be prepared by the reduction of Cp₂TiCl₂ with LiAlH₄ in methylbenzenes and in tetralin at their boiling temperatures in yields greater than 90%. The reduction proceedsvia the bis(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) chloride dimer which is further transformed into the unstable [Cp₂TiH] species. Thermal decomposition of the latter accompanied by hydrogen evolution gives rise to (1). -(⁵:⁵-Fulvalene)--hydrido--chloro-bis(⁵-cyclopentadienyltitanium), the first fulvalene containing compound observed in the system is formed by hydrido-chloro exchange of (1) with (Cp₂TiCl)₂ and aluminium chlorohydrides.

Summary The [2.2]paracyclophane cluster, Ru₆C(CO)₁₄( ₃- ^{2 2 2}-C₁₆H₁₆) (1), undergoes reaction with Me₃NO and triphenylphosphine to yield Ru₆C(CO)₁₃( ₃- ^{2 2 2}-C₁₆H₁₆)(PPh₃) (2), which may also be produced from (1) by thermolysis with PPh₃ in THF. Compound (2) has been fully characterized in solution by spectroscopy and in the solid state by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 277 K, and its structure is compared with that of the parent cluster, (1). Using the same synthetic procedures, the tricyclohexylphosphine analogue, Ru₆C(CO)₁₃( ₃- ^{2 2 2}-C₁₆H₁₆)(PCy₃) (3), has also been prepared and characterized spectroscopically.

Summary [RuCl₂(CO)₂] _n reacts with the Schiff base 1-acetylferrocenethiosemicarbazone, [Fe(-Cp)(-C₅H₄MeC=NN-HCSNH₂)] to give [Fe(-Cp)(-C₅H₄MeC=NN-HCSNH₂)RuCl₂(CO)₂] and with 1-acetylferrocenesemicarbazone [Fe(-Cp)(-C₅H₄MeC=NN-HCSNH₂)] to give [Fe(-Cp)(-C₅H₄MeC=NN-HCSNH₂)RuCl₂-(CO) ₂]. Spectroscopic data indicate that the Schiff bases act as bidentate ligands and coordinate to ruthenium via the hydrazinic N and either the S or O atoms, respectively, giving stable heterobimetallic complexes, which have been characterized by i.r. and ¹H-n.m.r. spectroscopies, and elemental analyses.Part of this work was presented at the First International Conference in Chemistry and its applications in Doha, Qatar, 1993.

Viscosities of solutions of electrolytes and nonelectrolytes inN-methylacetamide at 35° and 55°C

The viscosities of dilute solutions of a number of tetraalkylammonium and alkali metal halides, tetraphenylarsonium chloride, sodium tetraphenylborate, and tetrabutylammonium tetrabutylborate, as well as several nonelectrolytes have been measured in the high dielectric constant solvent N-methylacetamide (NMA) at 35 and 55°C. The relative viscosities were fitted to the extended Jones-Dole equation, = 1 + AC^1/2 + BC + DC². The pattern of behavior of the B coefficients is roughly similar to that observed in H₂O. However, the small ions have exceptionally large B values in this solvent due to strong solvation effects, while the large organic ions do not display the sharp crossing of the Einstein law, B=2.5 _V, characteristic in H₂O of hydrophobic interaction. The D coefficients roughly parallel the B behavior and display remarkably regular ionic trends. This suggests that they arise largely from hydrodynamic origins. Nonelectrolytes have small or negative B coefficients showing that the Einstein law is not applicable at the molecular level and that nonelectrolytes are poor models for structurally similar ions. A simple mixture law is presented as an alternative to the Einstein law to explain the B coefficients.     

The mechanism of η(η5:η5-fulvalene)-di-μ-chloro-bis (η5-cyclopentadienyltitanium) formation in the system Cp2TiCl2 : LiAlH4 : Olefinic solvent

Summary The reduction of Cp₂TiCl₂ with LiAlH₄ in olefinic solvents at temperatures above 100° leads to the formation of µ-( ⁵ : ⁵-fulvalene)-di-µ-chloro-bis( ⁵-cyclopentadienyl-titanium) (1) and finally to µ-( ⁵ : ¹⁵-fulvalene)-di-µ-hydrido-bis ( ⁵-cyclopentadienyltitanium). The first step of the reduction includes mainly the formation of the dimer of bis( ⁵-cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) chloride, (Cp₂TiCl)₂. The mechanism of its conversion into (1) involves the formation of an intermediate bis( ⁵-cyclopentadienyl)titanium(III) hydride species which reacts immediately with the olefinic solvent to give bis( ⁵-cyclopentadienyl)alkyltitanium(III) compounds. The formation of the fulvalene ligand in (1) is explained by the interaction of the alkyltitanium compound with the cyclopentadienyl ligands of (Cp₂TiCl)₂ resulting in hydrogen transfer to the olefinic solvent.

Lithium and lanthanum complexes with acenaphthylene dianion. Molecular structure of [Li(Et2O)2]2μ2:η3[Li(η3:η3-C12H8)]2 complex

The lithium complex with the acenaphthylene dianion [Li(Et₂O)₂]₂₂:³[Li(³:³-C₁₂H₈)]₂ (1) was synthesized by the reduction of acenaphthylene with lithium in diethyl ether. According to the X-ray diffraction data, compound 1 has a reverse-sandwich structure with the bridging dianion ₂:³[Li(³:³-C₁₂H₈)]₂. Two lithium atoms in complex 1 are located between two coplanar acenaphthylene ligands of the ₂:³[Li(³:³-C₁₂H₈)]₂ ^2– dianion and are ³-coordinated with the five- and six-membered rings. The lanthanum complex with the acenaphthylene dianion [LaI₂(THF)₃]₂(₂-C₁₂H₈) (2) was synthesized by the reduction of acenaphthylene in THF with the lanthanum(iii) complex [LaI₂(THF)₃]₂(₂-C₁₀H₈) containing the naphthalene dianion. The ¹H NMR spectrum of complex 2 in THF-d₈ exhibits four signals of the acenaphthylene dianion, whose strong upfield shifts compared to those of free acenaphthylene indicate the dianionic character of the ligand. The highest upfield chemical shift belongs to the proton bound to the C atom on which, according to calculation, the maximum negative charge is concentrated.
