Preparation of new (η5-C5H4CH3)Mn(NO)(PPh3) and (η7-C7H7)Mo(CO)-(PPh3) complexes

The complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I has been prepared by the reaction of NaI with [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)(PPh₃)]⁺ and also by the reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ with NaI followed by PPh₃. This iodide compound reacts with NaCN to yield (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)CN which is ethylated by [(C₂H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)(CNC₂H₅)]⁺. Both [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ and [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)(CO)]⁺ react with NaCN to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CN)₂]^?. This anion reacts with Ph₃SnCl to yield cis-(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CN)₂SnPh₃ and with [(C₂-H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CNC₂H₅)₂]⁺. The reaction of (η⁵-C₅-H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I with AgBF₄ in acetonitrile yields [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn-(NO)(PPh₃)(NCCH₃)]⁺. The complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)I, produced in the reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ with NaI, is not stable and decomposes to the dimeric complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)₂Mn₂(NO)₃I for which a reasonable structure is proposed. Similar dimers can be prepared from the other halide salts. The reaction of (η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)I with NaCN yields (η⁷-C₇-H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)CN which is ethylated by [(C₂H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁷-C₇H₇)-Mo(CO)(PPh₃)(CNC₂H₅)]⁺. The interaction of this molybdenum halide complex with AgBF₄ in acetonitrile and pyridine yields [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)-(NCCH₃)]⁺ and [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)(NC₅H₅)]⁺, respectively. Both (η⁵-C₅-H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I and (η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)I are oxidized by NOPF₆ to the respective 17-electron cations in acetonitrile at ?78°C but revert to the neutral halide complex at room temperature. This result is supported by electrochemical data.     

Zur kenntnis der chemie der metallcarbonyle und der cyanokomplexe in flüssigem ammoniak : XXXIII. Über die darstellung neuer carbamoylcarbonyl-komplexe aus bekannten und neuen kationischen carbonylverbindungen des mangans und rheniums

The covalent carbamoyl carbonyl compounds Re(CO)₅COHN₂, cis-M(CO)₄(L)CONH₂, M(CO)₃(L)₂CONH₂ and M(CO)₃(D)CONH₂ (M = Mn, Re; L = PPh₃, PEt₃; D = bipy, phen) are formed by reactions of the cationic complexes [Re(CO)₆]⁺, [M(CO)₅L]⁺, [M(CO)₄L₂]⁺ and [M(CO)₄D]⁺ (M = Mn, Re; L = PPh₃, PEt₃; D = bipy, phen) with liquid NH₃ with concomitant deprotonation: [M(CO)_6?nL_n]⁺ + 2 NH₃ → M(CO)_5?nL_nCONH₂ + NH₄⁺ (n = 0, 1, 2) and [M(CO)₄D]⁺ + 2 NH₃ → M(CO)₃(D)CONH₂ + NH₄⁺ The stability of the above-mentioned carbamoyl carbonyl complexes increases from the penta- to the tetra- to the tri-carbonyl derivatives. In all cases the rhenium compounds are much more stable than the corresponding manganese complexes. Whereas the carbamoyl compound Re(CO)₄(PEt₃)CONH₂ can be isolated by reaction of [Re(CO)₅PEt₃]⁺ with NH₃, the corresponding manganese complex undergoes Hofmann degradation of amides even at ?70°C to form HMn(CO)₄PEt₃ and NH₄NCO. The IR and some mass and ¹H NMR spectra of the new hexacoordinated carbamoyl carbonyl complexes are discussed and the reactions of these compounds with liquid NH₃, HCl and CH₃OH are described.     

Mono-Substitution of iron pentacarbonyl catalyzed by polynuclear iron carbonyl anions

The specific formation of LFe(CO)₄ (L = PPh₃, P(OPh)₃, P(OMe)₃ can be achieved by the reaction of Fe(CO)₅ with L in the presence of a catalytic amount of iron carbonyl anion. A convenient synthetic procedure was developed in which the iron carbonyl anion catalyst is generated in situ. It is shown that the mechanism does not proceed by the simple cleavage of the Fe₂(CO)₈^2? or Fe₃(CO)₁₁^2? anions, because triphenylphosphine reacts with these anions in the absence of Fe(CO)₅ to produce (PPh₃)₂Fe(CO)₃.     

Cyanomethyl cyclopentadienyl complexes of cobalt

The reactions of the complexes CpCo(CO)L (Cp = cyclopentadienyl, L = CO, PPh₃) with ClCH₂CN have been investigated. Chloroacetonitrile reacts with CpCo(CO)PPh₃ to give the cationic complex [CpCo(CH₂CN)(CNCH₂Cl)PPh₃]⁺, which has been isolated and characterized. Compounds of the type [CpCo(CH₂CN)(bipy)]⁺ BPh₄^? and CpCo(CH₂CN)PPh₃CN have been obtained by substitution reactions.     

POSSIBLE HYDRIDE AND METHIDE TRANSFER REACTIONS: REACTIONS OF Fe(CO)4R−(R = H,CH3) AND W(CO)5R− (R = H,CH3, Cl,Br, I) WITH METAL CARBONYL CATIONS

Abstract

Reactions of metal carbonyl cations (M(CO)₆ ⁺, M = Mn, Re) with hydride-, methide- or halide-containing metal carbonyl anions (Fe(CO)₄R^?, R = H, Me; W(CO)₅R^?, R = H, Me, Cl, Br, I) produce products that indicate several mechanisms are operative. Reactions of the halo-tungsten complexes produce neutral, solvated tungsten complexes, W(CO)₅(CH₃CN) and W(CO)₄(CH₃CN)₂ and M(CO)₅X in a reaction that appears to be initiated by decomposition of W(CO)₅X^?. In contrast, the tungsten hydride and methide complexes react, predominantly, by transfer of the hydride or methide to a carbonyl of the cation at a much faster rate. The iron hydride and methide complexes react by iron-based nucleophilicity involving a two-electron process.     

Reductions of metal carbonyls by quaternary ammonium borohydrides

Quaternary ammonium borohydrides, used directly or generated in phase transfer reactions, are highly effective reagents for preparing metal carbonyl anions from metal carbonyls [Mo(CO)₆, Mn₂(CO)₁₀, Re₂(CO)₁₀, CO₂(CO)₈, Fe₃(CO)₁₂, Ru₃(CO)₁₂ and (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Mo₂(CO)₆] and from some metal carbonyl halides [BrMn(CO)₅ and η⁵-C₅H₅Mo(CO)₃Cl]. Where strongly basic anions would be formed from a halide [BrMn(CO)₄PPh₃ and η⁵-C₅H₅Ru(CO)₂Br], the reactions provide efficient syntheses of the corresponding hydrides instead. The anion η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂^? is not accessible by these techniques; reaction of η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂Br yields the iron dimer (via the highly nucleophilic anion) and the dimer is unreactive toward Q⁺BH₄^?. Reductions of Re₂(CO)₁₀ conducted in CH₂Cl₂ provide Re₂(CO)₉Cl^? in high yield.     

Haloalkyl complexes of the transition metals : II. Some new chloromethyl and methoxymethyl complexes of manganese,rhenium and ruthenium

The reactions of Na[Mn(CO)₅] or Na[Mn(CO)₄(PPh₃)] with CH₂ClI yield the new chloromethyl complexes Mn(CO)₅CH₂Cl and Mn(CO)₄(PPh₃)CH₂Cl. Reaction of Na[Re(CO)₅] or Na[CpRu(CO)₂] with ClCH₂OMe yields Re(CO)₅CH₂Cl and CpRu(CO)₂CH₂Cl respectively, in addition to the corresponding methoxymethyl complexes (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅). Reaction of CpRu(CO)₂CH₂OMe with HCl yields the corresponding chloromethyl complex.     

Copper(I) as a phosphine abstractor from (η-C5H5)(CO)(PPh3)FeCOCH3

The Cu^I complex Cu(CH₃CN)₄⁺PF₆⁻ chemoselectively abstracts phosphine from Cp(CO)(PPh₃FeCOCH₃ and produces Cp(CO)₂FeCH₃ in good yield. No evidence for electrophilic Cu^I coordinating the acetyl ligand on Cp(CO)(L)FeCOCH₃ (L = CO, PPh₃), however, was obtained Reactions of Cu^I and Cp(CO)(PPh₃)FeCH₃, with and without the presence of CO, also were examined. With CO, this methyl complex first gives its acetyl derivative Cp(CO)(PPh₃)FeCOCH₃ (1 atm CO in CH₂Cl₂ solution, 5 min), and after excess CO is removed (it otherwise blocks further reaction), Cp(CO)₂FeCH₃ forms.     

Reactions of (cyclopentadienyl)nitrosyldicarbonylmanganese cation with amines

The [(XC₅H₄)Mn(CO)(NO)L]⁺ complexes react with primary alkylamines to give carboxamido complexes, where X = H, CH₃; L = CO, P(C₆H₅)₃. In the case of L = CO, the carboxamido complexes may be isolated, whereas with L = P(C₆H₅)₃ the reversibility of the reactions permits the isolation only of the starting materials when the solutions are evaporated to dryness. This diminished tendency to form carboxamido complexes is related to the decreased electron density on the carbonyl carbon going from L = CO to L = P(C₆H₅)₃. The presence of the coordinated NO group does not change the reactivity of the cationic complexes towards amines.

Trends in ³¹P NMR coordination shifts for the complexes M(CO)₃BrL₂, [M(CO)₃L₂(NCMe)]⁺, MeC₅H₄Mn(CO)L₂ and [MeC₅H₄Mn(CO)₂]₂L₂ (M = Mn and Re;L₂ = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂, Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂ and Ph₂PCH₂CH₂AsPh₂) are discussed.     

Reactions involving transition metals : XIX. Some reactions of perfluoronorbornadiene with low valent transition metal complexes

Perfluoronorbornadiene reacts with the compounds [M(PPh₃)₄] (M = Pt, Pd) and [IrCl(CO)(PMePh₂)₂] to give the adducts [(C₇F₈)M(PPh₃)₂] and [(C₇F₈)IrCl(CO)(PMePh₂)₂] in which one of the double bonds is coordinated to the metal atom. The platinum complex reacts further with [Pt(PPh₃)₄] to give [(C₇F₈){Pt(PPh₃)₂}₂] having both double bonds coordinated to a Pt atom. The carbonylmetal anions [M^?] react to form the mono-substitution products [(C₇F₇)M] (M = Mn(CO)₅, Re(CO)₅, Ir(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂, Rh(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂), but the use of an excess of [Fe(CO)₂(η-C₅H₆)]^? leads to substitution of one fluorine atom on each of the double bonds. The complex having M = Mn(CO)₅ reacts with [Pt(PPh₃)₄] to afford the derivative [(C₇F₇){Mn(CO)₄(PPh₃)}{Pt(PPh₃)₂}], and the compound where M = Ir(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ undergoes an oxidative addition reaction with acetyl chloride. Oxidative coupling products have been isolated on UV irradiation of a mixture of perfluoronorbornadiene and [Fe(η⁴-CH₂CRCHCH₂)(CO)₃] (R = H, Me), and under similar conditions the reaction with Fe(CO)₅ affords [(C₇F₈)Fe(CO)₄] in very low yield.     

Mass spectrometry of π-complexes of transition metals : III. Mass spectra of some π-cyclopentadienyl complexes of seven—coordinate rhenium

The mass spectra of π-RC₅H₄Re(CO)₂XY (R = H, CH₃ COOCH₃, X, Y = H, CH₃, COCH₃, Br, I, HgCl) have been studied. A successive expulsion of carbonyl groups, a common fragmentation path for cyclopentadienyl metal carbonyls, is observed in addition to the parallel elimination of substituents X and Y from the molecular ions of seven-coordinate rhenium complexes. Loss of a hydrogen molecule from the [M  2CO]⁺ ion is a characteristic of the fragmentation of σ-methyl complexes.     

Formation of the Salt‐like Complexes [Co{S2CC(PPh3)2}3][Co(CO)4]3 and [(CO)4Mn{S2CC(PPh3)2}][Mn(CO)5] from the Reaction of the Related Carbonyl Compounds with S2CC(PPh3)2

The betain‐like compound S₂CC(PPh₃)₂ ( 1 ), which is obtained from CS₂ and the double ylide C(PPh₃)₂, reacts with [Co₂(CO)₈] and [Mn₂(CO)₁₀] in THF to afford the salt‐like complexes [Co{S₂CC(PPh₃)₂}₃][Co(CO)₄]₃ ( 2 ) and [(CO)₄Mn{S₂CC(PPh₃)₂}][Mn(CO)₅] ( 3 ), respectively, in good yields. At both d⁶ cations 1 acts as a chelating ligand. Disproportionation reactions from formal Co⁰ into Co^III and Co^?I and from Mn⁰ into Mn^I and Mn^?I occurred with the removal of four or one carbonyl groups, respectively. The crystal structures of 2· 5.5THF and 3· 2THF are reported, which show a shortening of the C–C bond in the ligand upon complex formation. The compounds are further characterized by ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy.     

Biimidazolate- and bibenzimidazolate-bridged binuclear substituted manganese(I) carbonyl complexes

Novel binuclear substituted manganese(I) carbonyls [Mn(CO)_4?nL_n]₂(μ-N-N)₂ (n = 1, (N-N)₂ = biimidazolate, L = PBuⁿ₃; (N-N)₂ = bibenzimidazolate, L = P(OMe)₃, P(OPh)₃, PPh₃, PEt₃ or PBuⁿ₃, as well as n = 2; (N-N)₂ = biimidazolate, or bibenzimidazolate, L = PBuⁿ₃, PEt₃ or P(OMe)₃) are described, in which the anions (N-N)₂ act as tetradentate bridging-groups. They were prepared by treating [Mn(CO)₄(μ-Br)]₂ with thallium or potassium salts of 2,2′-biimidazole or 2,2′-bibenzimidazole and subsequent displacement of CO by L. The structures of the complexes are discussed.     

ELECTROCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION OF METAL CARBONYL-ISOCYANIDE COMPLEX CATIONS

Abstract

Polarographic measurements on the cations CpFe(CO)_3-n ⁺ (L=PPh₃, n=1,2; L=CH₃NC, n=1–3) show an increasingly anodic one-electron reduction wave as CO is successively substituted by L. The effect is greater for L=CNCH₃ than for L=PPh₃. The reduced species then either lose L and dimerize (giving rise to a second reduction wave) decompose. Heretofore unreported Mössbauer parameters for the isocyanide complexes are given and correlated with the polarographic results.     

Protonation of Cp(CO)(PPh3) RuCCPh: Formation of cationnic phenylacetylene and phenylvinylidene complexes and subsequent reaction with ethylene oxide to form the net [2 + 3] cycloadduct [Cp(CO)(PPH3)Ru=CCH(Ph)CH2CH2O]+

Protonation of the alkynyl complex Cp(CO)(PPh₃)RuCCPh (1) at low temperature affords quantitatively the vinylidened complex [Cp(CO)(PPh₃)RuCCH(Ph)]⁺ (3), which upon warming to room temperature forms an equilibrium with the η²-phenylacetylene complex [Cp(CO)(PPh₃)Ru(η²-HCCPh)]⁺ (4), with the latter predominating. Subsequent reaction with ethylene oxide yields the cyclic oxacarbene complex [Cp(CO)(PPH₃)Ru=CCH(Ph)CH₂CH₂O]⁺ (5), which can be regarded as the result of a net [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between 3 and ethylene oxide. Depronation of 5 affords teh corresponding neutral cyclic vinyl complex [Cp(CO)(PPH₃)RuC=C(Ph)CH₂CH₂O]⁺ (6), which can in turn be protonated to regenerate 5 in a diastereoselective manner. The structures of complexes 5 and 6 were determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Tertiary phosphine complexes of cyclopentadienylmolybdenum carbonyl halides. Stereoselective syntheses and isomer separations

Pure cis and trans isomers of CpMo(CO)₂(L)X (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅, L = PPh₃ or PBu₃, X = Br, or I) have been separated by chromatography and characterized by infrared and proton NMR spectroscopy. The reactions of trans-CpMo(CO)₂(L)CH₃ with HgX₂ (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN) afford cis-CpMo(CO)₂(L)X in high yield. Both linkage isomers are obtained in the reaction with Hg(SCN)₂, L = PPh₃. The mercuric halides react with CpMo(CO)₂(L)COCH₃ to form the metalmetal bonded derivatives trans-CpMo(CO)₂(L)HgX. Reactions of CpMo(CO)₂(L)CH₃ or CpMo(CO)₂(L)COCH₃ with bromine or iodine yield the halide complexes CpMo(CO)₂(L)X (X = Br and I, respectively), the product mixtures containing high proportions of the trans isomers.     

Zur Kenntnis der Chemie der Metallcarbonyle und der Cyano-Komplexe in flüssigem ammoniak : XL. Über die Reaktion kationischer Cyclopentadienyl-carbonyl-nitrosyl-Komplexe des Mangans und Rheniums mit flüssigem Ammoniak

The reactions of the cationic complexes [CpMn(CO)₂NO]⁺, [MeCpMn(CO)₂NO]⁺ (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅, MeCp = η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃), [CpRe(CO)₂NO]⁺, [CpMn(CO)(L)NO]⁺ (L = PPh₃, PEt₂Ph, AsPh₃, CNMe, CNEt), {[CpMn(CO)NO]₂Me₂PC₂H₄PMe₂}²⁺ and {CpMn(CO)NO]₂Ph₂PC₂H₄PPh₂}²⁺ with liquid NH₃ yield the neutral carbamoyl complexes CpMn(CO)(NO)CONH₂, MeCpMn(CO)(NO)CONH₂, CpRe(CO)(NO)CONH₂, CpMn(L)(NO)CONH₂ (L = PPh₃, PEt₂Ph, AsPh₃, CNMe, CNEt), [CpMn(NO)CONH₂]₂Me₂PC₂H₄PMe₂ and [CpMn(NO)CONH₂]₂Ph₂PC₂H₄PPh₂. Properties and reactions of these new compounds are described.     

Molecular structure and binding energies of monosubstituted hexacarbonyls of chromium,molybdenum, and tungsten: Relativistic density functional study

Relativistic density functional calculations have been carried out for the group VI transition metal carbonyls M(CO)₅L (M=Cr, Mo, W; L=OH₂, NH₃, PH₃, PMe₃, N₂, CO, OC (isocarbonyl), CS, CH₂, CF₂, CCl₂, NO⁺). The optimized molecular structures and M(SINGLE BOND)L bond dissociation energies, as well as the metal–carbonyl bond energy of the trans CO group, have been calculated. Besides the marked dependence of the trans M(SINGLE BOND)CO bond length on the type of ligand L, such an effect on the that bond energy is also observed. For the chromium compounds, the trans Cr(SINGLE BOND)CO bond length varies from 184 to 199 pm and its bond energy from 242 to 150 kJ/mol. For the molybdenum compounds, the range is 197 to 216 pm and 253 to 128 kJ/mol and, for tungsten, 198 to 214 pm and 293 to 159 kJ/mol. The observed trends can be explained with the π acceptor strength of the L ligand. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Comput Chem 18 : 1985–1992, 1997     

Stereospecific syntheses of new manganese(I) isocyanide derivatives

Three series of cationic manganese(I) carbonyls are reported: [Mn(CO)_5-n(CNMe)_n(CNPh)]PF₆ (n = 1 → 4), [Mn(CO)_5-n(CNMe)(CNPh)_n]PF₆ (n = 1 → 4), and [Mn(dpe)(CO)_4-n(CNMe)_n]PF₆ (n = 1 → 4). Most of these compounds were prepared from a substituted metal carbonyl halide by replacement of halide ion by an added ligand (CNR or CO), such reactions requiring an added halide ion acceptor (Ag⁺ or AlCl₃). The added ligand enters the site of departing halide ion. It was possible to prepare isomers of many compounds reported, taking advantage of this stereospecificity. Structures of the products were defined, often unequivocally, by infrared and nmr spectroscopic data. Cyclic voltammetry showed that these compounds undergo one electron oxidations, the ease of oxidation determined by the nature of the ligand groups and the stereochemistry.
