Reactions of alkynes with bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum-ethylene: A 31P-{1H} NMR study

Internally consistent assignments of the ³¹P-{¹H} NMR parameters of the complexes [Pt(RCCR′)(PPh₃)₂] are proposed, based on the premise that the magnitude of ¹J(PtP) depends mainly on the nature of the moiety CR trans to P. For a given R, ²J(PP) correlates with ¹J(PtP) for thebond trans to CR. The alkynes PhCCSnEt₃, PhCCSnPh₃, Me₃SiCCCl, Me₃SiCCBr, Et₃SiCCI and MeCCI undergo oxidative addition reactions with [Pt(C₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂]; the intermediate alkyne complex was detected for PhCCSnEt₃, Me₃SiCCCl and Me₃CCBr. The triyne Me(CC)₃Me forms platinum(0) complexes by coordination with the central or terminal CC bond and appears also to give a platinum(II) complex by oxidative addition.     

Pulsed fourier transform NMR of substituted aryltrimethyltin derivatives : III. Proton data at 100 MHz and the derived Hammett σ-constant of the trimethyltin group

Proton NMR data at 100 MHz are reported for thirteen para- and meta-substituted phenyltrimethyltin compounds, XC₆H₄Sn(CH₃)₃, where X = para-N(CH₃)₂, para-OCH₃, para-OC₂H₅, para-CH₃, meta-CH₃, -H, para-F, meta-OCH₃, para-Cl, para-Br, meta-F, meta-Cl and para-Sn(CH₃)₃. Correlation coefficients with Hammett σ-constants of greater than 0.95 are obtained with the methyltin proton chemical shifts and coupling constants to carbon [¹J(¹³C¹H)] and tin [²J(SnC¹H)]. Solvent effects and other extraneous factors invalidate comparisons of ? values in terms of the relative attenuation of the transmission of substituent effects through homologous carbon, silicon, germanium and tin systems, but coupling constant data reflect a diminution of ca. one tenthfold per bond in the order ?[C(1)Sn] > ? [SnC] > ? [CH]. Satisfactory correlations (r > 0.95) are obtained in this series of closely-related compounds among the conventionally recorded two-bond, ²J(SnC¹H) and the constituent, one-bond ¹J (Sn¹³C) and J(¹³C¹H) coupling constants, but the correlation coefficient for the comparison between the two one-bond couplings, ¹J(Sn¹³C) and ¹J(¹³C¹H) is lower (r = 0.872). Changes in the couplings at the methyltin carbon bond tin-119 atoms are interpreted in terms of isovalent hybridization; a model based upon effective nuclear charges is tested with respect to both NMR coupling constants and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer Isomer shifts at tin and is invalidated. Proton and carbon-13 NMR, chemical shift and coupling constant data are used to derive a Hammett σ-constant for the para-trimethyltin group of ?0.14, and the significance of this value is discussed.     

Long-range tin-tin coupling constants: II. Two-bond coupling via carbon

Tin-119 and carbon-13 NMR data for a total of 34 compounds containing the grouping Sn-C-Sn (C is either sp³- or sp²-hybridised) are presented and discussed. In organotin derivatives of alkanes, ²J(Sn-C-Sn) can only be correlated with ¹J(Sn-C₂) if a sign change for the former coupling is assumed. In most of the compounds of this type studied, ¹J(Sn-CH₃) is, due to rehybridisation and in contrast to the usual situation, larger than ¹J(Sn-C²); the same is true in some cases for distannylakenes, the behaviour of which is complicated by changes in the torsional angle about the carbon-carbon double bond. Thus correlation of ²J(Sn-C-Sn) with other spectral parameters is not possible in these cases. The total tin chemical shift range for compounds MeⁿSn(CH₂MME₃)_4-n (M  C, Si, Ge, Sn; n  0–4) is 140 ppm. Incorporation of a ditin fragment in a six-membered ring causes a downfield tin shift of 30 ppm.     

Cleavage of the carbon-silicon bonds in trimethylsilylacetylenes by trans[(PR3)2PtX(R′OH)]PF6 cations and formation of cationic alkoxycarbene complexes of platinum(II)

Cationic alkoxycarbene complexes of platinum(II) have been isolated in the reactions of trans-[(PR₃)₂PtX(R′OH)]PF₆ (X  H or Me; R′  Me or Et) with Me₃SiCCR′′ (R′′  H, Me or SiMe₃). In these reactions cleavage of the carbon-silicon bond by the nucleophilic attack of alcohol has been observed. These carbene complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses and by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectral data. ¹³C NMR chemical shift data for carbene carbon atoms suggest that the carbene carbon may be very positively charged.     

Structure, 31P and 13C chemical shift anisotrophy of (CH3)3P, (CH3)3PO, (CH3)3PS and (CH3)3PSe as determined by liquid crystal NMR spectroscopy

The ¹³P and ¹³C spectra of the triply ¹³C labelled molecules (CH₃)₃P, (CH₃)₃PO, (CH₃)₃PS and (CH₃)₃PSe oriented in a nematic phase are reported. The CPC bond angles have been measured. The ¹³P chemical shift tensor shows a large anisotropy except in the case of (CH₃)₃P. The abnormal large value observed for the PSe bond length suggests a large anisotropy of the ¹J(PSe) spin coupling.     

First examples of [Rh(Bident)(CO)(L)] complexes where L is N-donor ligand: Molecular structure of [Rh(8-Oxiquinolinato)(CO)(NH3)]

Selective oxidation of one (trans to N) carbonyl group in [Rh(8-Oxiquinolinato)(CO)₂] with stoichiometric amount of Me₃NO in MeCN produces a solution containing [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(Me₃N)] and [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(MeCN)]. The ammonia complex, [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(NH₃)], has been prepared by action of NH₃ gas on this solution and characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and X-ray data. Spectral parameters, ν(CO), δ¹³C, and ¹J(CRh), were measured in situ for a series of complexes [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(L)] (L = NAlk₃, Py, PBu₃, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃, C₈H₁₄) formed upon action of L on [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(NH₃)] in THF. A new ν(CO) and δ¹³C based scale of σ-donor/π-acceptor properties of ligands L is proposed including NH₃ and CO as the natural endpoints.     

Assignment of the 13C NMR resonances in trialkylphosphines from spin-lattice relaxation time measurements

Analysis of the ¹³C NMR chemical shift and coupling constant data for a number of straight-chain aliphatic trialkylphosphines and their transition metal carbonyl complexes suggests that complexation leads to: (1) a deshielding of C(1) and an increase in ¹J(¹³C³¹P), (2) a slight shielding of C(2) and a decrease in ²J(¹³C³¹P), and (3) little or no change in the chemical shift for C(3) and a slight increase in ³J(¹³C³¹P). Application of these rules to the assignment of the ¹³C NMR spectrum of P(butyl)₃ led to conflict with prior work. A study of segmental motion in these derivatives via spin-lattine (T₁) relaxation time measurements was therefore performed, and these data are in complete agreement with the proposed assignments. These generalizations must be applied with care, however, since the presence of either unsaturation or branching near the phosphorus can interfere with this pattern.     

17O, 13C, 1H NMR and IR spectroscopic investigations of (CH3)nC5H5–nRe(CO)3 analogues (n = 0–5)

¹³C, ¹H NMR investigation of the (CH_3nC₅H_5–nRe(CO)₃ Me_nCpReT) n = 0–5 analogous series showed that the signals of almost all magnetic nuclei shift upfield with increase n, which also occurs in (Me_nCp)₂M compounds (M = Fe²⁺, Co³⁺; n = 0–5). The smaller value of the C(CH₃) signal (1.5 ppm.) shifts upfield when a further methyl group is introduced into the vicinal position, this shift can be attributed to the absence of the second methyl cyclopentadienyl ring. It is noteworthy that methyl cyclopentadienyl ring coordination to the transition-metal atom results in the downfield shift of the substituted carbon atom (C_key) signal. One of the reasons for such a shift might be the reduction in screening effect of the central CpM bond π-electron current on C_key owing to nodal properties of Cp ring e-orbitals. The δ ¹³C(CO), δ ¹⁷O(CO), and v(CO) values reflect successive increases of Re → CO π-back donation with increase in n.     

A proton NMR investigation of metalmetal bonding in trimethyltin-aluminium, -gallium, -indium and -thallium organometallic compounds

Proton NMR data for the Group III methyl derivatives, MMe₃ and LiMMe₄ are compared with NMR data for the novel tin—Group III-metal bonded species, Li[Me₃SnMMe₃] (M  Al, Ga, In and Tl) and for Li[(Me₃Sn)_n-TlMe_4?n] (n = 0 to 4), reported here for the first time.The presence of tinmetal bonding in these derivatives is established by the observed tin-across-metal coupling constants and for the thallium derivatives by the additional observation of thallium-across-tin coupling.The variation in the magnitudes of ²J(SnCH), ²J(TlCH), ³J(SnMCH) and ³J(TlSnCH) are reported as a function of M and as a function of the number of Me₃Sn groups bond to thallium in the [(Me₃Sn)_nTIME₄?_n]^?anions. Proposals concerning the factors governing the changes in these coupling constants and the chemical shifts are presented.     

Carbon-13 NMR studies of some organotin(IV) compounds

The ¹³C chemical shifts and ¹³C−¹¹⁹Sn, ¹¹⁷Sn coupling constants for several organotin(IV) compounds R_xSnCl_4−x (R = Me, Buⁿ, Ph; x = 1−4) have been measured in both inert (CDCl₃) and donor (DMSO-d₆) solvents, as have ¹³C data for the compounds R_xSnR′_4−x (R = Me, Ph; R′ = Buⁿ and R = Me; R′ = Ph; x = 1−3) and the compounds Me₃SnX (X = pseudo halide). The δ and ¹J(C-Sn) values appear to depend mainly on the type and number of substituents on tin and the donor ability of the solvent. There are linear relationships between the number of substituents (x) and both δ and ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) for almost the R_xSnX_4−x series (R = Me, Buⁿ, Ph; X = Cl and R = Me, Buⁿ; X = Ph; x = 1−4), when measured in a single solvent, e.g. CDCl₃. There is an excellent linear relationship between ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹HC-¹¹⁹Sn) for the compounds Me_xSnCl_4−x. Determination of ¹³C data for Me₃SnCl and Ph₃SnCl in a range of solvents reveals that the value of ¹J(C-Sn) increases with the donor ability of the solvent.The marked increase in the values of ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) in DMSO-d₆ for the compounds R_xSnCl_4−x(R = Me, Buⁿ,Ph) on going progressively from x = 4 to x = suggest tin coordination numbers of 4, 5, 6 and 6, respectively. Some additional physical data are presented for the isolated complexes from DMSO and the compounds Ph_xSnCl_4−x(x = 1−3) and Me₃SnX with X = N₃ or OCOMe.     

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance studies of some phosphonium,arsonium, sulfonium and pyridinium keto-stabilized salts,and ylides and of their palladium(II) complexes

The ¹³C chemical shifts, the ¹³C³¹P coupling constants, and some one-bond ¹³C¹H coupling constants were measured for the title compounds. For the ylides of phosphorus, arsenic and sulfur, the data are consistent with an sp²-hybridized ylidic carbon with a strong, localized negative charge, while for the pyridinium ylide this charge is much more delocalized. in the homologous series of salts the electron-withdrawing ability of the groups studied varies in the order: Ph₃P⁺ < Ph₃As⁺ « Me₂S⁺ « Me₂C₅H₃N⁺. The differences in the carbonyl chemical shift between the ylides and the corresponding salts are a measure of the resonance stabilization of the negative charge in the form X⁺CCO^?; this stabilization varies with the groups studied in the order: Ph₃P⁺ < Ph₃As⁺ ≈ Me₂S⁺ « Me₂C₅H₃N⁺. The ylide—palladium(II) complexes contain a bond between the ylidic carbon and the metal: the ylidic carbon is shifted upfield in the complex with respect to the free ligand, while the adjacent carbonyl is shifted strongly downfield. These data suggest that the PdC(1) bond is strongly polarized with a high electron density on the C(1) atom which cannot be delocalized through resonance as in the free ligands.     

Metallorganische diazoalkane : XVI. Synthese von silyldiazoalkanen Me3Si(LnM)CN2

Silyldiazoalkanes Me₃Si(L_nM)CN₂ (L_nM = Me₃Si, Me₃Ge, Me₃Sn, Me₃Pb; Me₃As, Me₃Sb, Me₃Bi) have been synthesized by three different routes: (a) reactions of the Me₃SiCHN₂ with metal amides L_nMNR¹R² of Group IVB and VB elements, using Me₃SnCl as catalyst; (b) reactions of the in situ prepared organolithium compound Me₃SiC(Li)N₂ with organometallic chlorides Me₃MCl (M = Si, Ge); (c) tincarbon bond cleavage reaction of (Me₃Sn)₂CN₂ with Me₃SiN₃, affording Me₃SnN₃, traces of bis(trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (Me₃Si)CN₂, trimethylsilyl(trimethylstannyl)diazomethane Me₃Si(Me₃Sn)CN₂ and bis(trimethylsilyl)aminoisocyanide (Me₃Si)₂NNC as the major reaction products. IR and NMR data (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ¹¹⁹Sn, ²⁰⁷Pb) of the new heterometal-diazoalkanes are reported and discussed in comparison to relevant compounds of the organometallic diazoalkane series.     

Generation of the dichloromethane complex [(η5-C5Me5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(ClCH2Cl]+ BF4−, and its conversion to the oxidative addition product [(η5-C5Me5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(Cl)(CH2Cl)]+ BF4−

Reaction of (η⁵-C₅Me₅)Re(NO)(PPh₃)(CH₃) and HBF₄ · OEt₂ in CH₂Cl₂ at −78°C gives the dichloromethane complex [η⁵-C₅Me₅Re(NO)(PPh₃)(ClCH₂Cl)]⁺ BF₄⁻, which undergoes the title transformation at −35°C. The ReClCH₂Cl carbon is attacked by halide nucleophiles (X⁻) to give XCH₂Cl and the chloride complex (η⁵-C₅Me₅)Re(NO)(PPh₃)(Cl), and exhibits a ¹³C NMR resonance that is coupled to phosphorus (d, ³J(CP) 5.0 Hz) and geminal hydrogens (t, ¹J(CH) 186 Hz).     

Temperature dependences of J(C,H) and J(C,D) in 13CH4 and some of its deuterated isotopomers

The nuclear spin—spin coupling constants J(C,H) and J(C,D) have been measured over the temperature range 200–370 K for the methane isotopomers ¹³CH₄, ¹³CH₃D, ¹³CHD₃ and ¹³CD₄. The coupling constants increase with increasing temperature for any one isotopomer and decrease with increasing secondary deuterium substitution at any one temperature. The results are entirely attributable to intramolecular effects and the data have been fitted by a weighted least-squares regression analysis to a spin—spin coupling surface thereby yielding a value for ¹J_e(C,H), the coupling constant at equilibrium geometry, and values for the bond length derivatives of the coupling. We find that ¹J_e(C,H) = 120.78 (±0.05) Hz which is about 4.5 Hz smaller than the observed value in ¹³CH₄ gas at room temperature. Results are also reported for J(H,D) in ¹³CH₃D and ¹³CHD₃ for which no temperature dependence was detected.     

13C and 199Hg nuclear magnetic resonance study of alkynyl mercury(II) compounds

Alkynyl mercury compounds of the type Hg(CCR)₂ (I), R′HgCCR (II) and R′HgCCHgR′ (III) have been studied by ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁹⁹Hg NMR. Chemical shifts (δ¹H, δ¹³C, δ¹⁹⁹Hg) and coupling constants J(¹⁹⁹Hg¹H), J(¹⁹⁹Hg¹³C), J(¹³C¹H) and J(¹³C¹³C) (in natural abundance) are reported. The changes in magnitude of the coupling constants ¹J(¹⁹⁹Hg¹³C) and ¹J(¹³C¹³C) cannot be fully explained in terms of changes in the “s-character” of the HgC bond and the CC bond, respectively. The shielding of the alkynyl carbon linked to mercury in II is decreased by ca. 23 ppm as compared to the analogous carbon in I. This indicates a greatly different degree of polarization for the HgC bonds in I and II in agreement with the behaviour of ¹J(¹⁹⁹Hg¹³C) and ¹J(¹³C¹³C). The solvent and temperature dependence of the ¹⁹⁹Hg chemical shift of I (R = C₆H₅, C₄H₉ⁿ) and II (R = H, R′= CH₃) has been studied. The results indicate covalent interactions of I with amines, pyridine, dimethylsulphide and Br⁻, while the interaction with acetonitrile and oxygen donors (DMSO, DMF, dioxane, acetone) is of a different nature.     

NMR study (1H, 13C and 29Si) of the methylallylsilanes

¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR data for the compounds (CH₃)_xSi(CH₂CHCH₂)_4-x are reported. The ¹H resonances from the π system are indicative of the electron-supplying inductive effect (+I) of the (CH₃SiCH₂, moiety but the corresponding ¹³C_π chemical shifts seem to be influenced by a sterically induced polarization of the C-H bonds. The ¹³C_All, ¹³C_Me and ²⁹Si chemical shift data reveal an important neighbour anisotropy contribution originating from the π system. Ultraviolet study of the compounds mentioned above gives indication of a σ—π conjugation in accordance with PES and ab initio results [1—5]. The trend observed in the various coupling constants is too small to be Interpreted.     

Die metall-kohlenstoff-bindung in carben- und carbin-komplexen. aussagen der 183W13C-kopplungen

The nuclear spin coupling constants¹J(¹⁸³W¹³C) and in some cases ²J(¹⁸³W¹³C) and ³J(¹⁸³W¹³C) are determined for 10 tungsten carbene and 9 tungsten carbyne complexes. ¹J is of analytical importance, being characteristically greater for WC than for WC bonds. This is due to different hybridisation at the carbon atom, and provides information about bond angles and polarities of WC and WCR units.Substituents R and R' in (CO)₅WCRR' and X(CO)₄WCR as well as the halogens X lead to minor changes in ¹J. These changes are comparable to those of ¹J(¹³C¹H) in correspondingly substituted methanes. Unexpectedly ¹J in_ creases with X = Cl, Br, I. ²J(¹⁸³W¹³C) though being much smaller than ¹J reflects different hydridisation at the β carbon atom.     

29Si and 13C NMR spectra of permethylpolysilanes

²⁹Si, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectra are reported for the series of linear permethylpolysilanes Me(SiMe₂)_nMe where n = 1 to 6, for the cyclic permethylpolysilanes (Me₂Si)_n where n = 5 to 8, and for a few related compounds. For linear polysilanes the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts can be accurately calculated from simple additivity relationships based on the number of silicon atoms in α, β, γ and δ positions. Adjacent (α) silicon atoms lead to upfield shifts in the ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances, whereas more remote silicon atoms lead to downfield shifts. The ²⁹Si chemical shifts of the polysilane chains are linearly related to the ¹³C shifts of the carbon atoms attached to the silicon. The ²⁹Si and ¹³C resonances of the cyclic silanes deviate from this relationship. Ring current effects arising from σ delocalization are suggested as an explanation for the deviations. Proton-coupled ²⁹Si NMR spectra are reported for Me₃SiSiMe₃ and for (Me₂Si)_n, n = 5 to 7.     

A one-pot method to prepare the carbene complex [TpRhCl2(CHNiPr2)] from [TpRh(CO)2], CHCl3, and NHiPr2

The complex [Tp^Me₂,ClRh(CO)₂] reacts with chloroform to give quantitatively the rhodium(III) complex [Tp^Me₂,ClRhCl(CHCl₂)(CO)] resulting from the oxidative addition of a C-Cl bond. Further reaction with diisopropylamine gives the aminocarbene complex [Tp^Me₂,ClRhCl₂(CHNiPr₂)], whose X-ray crystal structure has been solved. Addition of an excess of diisopropylamine to [Tp^Me₂,ClRh(CO)₂] in chloroform provides directly [Tp^Me₂,ClRhCl₂(CHNiPr₂)].
