The reactions of dipropargyl manolate and terephthalate, respectively, with Co₂(CO)₈ in THF at room temperature gave four new compounds [R(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)₂][Co₂(CO)₆]₂ (R=CH₂, 1a; R=C₆H₄, 1b) and [(HC₂CH₂OCO)R(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)][Co₂(CO)₆] (R=CH₂, 2a; R=C₆H₄-1,4-, 2b), and compounds 2a and b reacted with RuCo₂(CO)₁₁ to form two new linked clusters [R(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)₂][Co₂(CO)₆][RuCo₂(CO)₉] (R=CH₂, 3a; R=C₆H₄-1,4-, 3b). The treatment of two dipropargyl esters, respectively, with RuCo₂(CO)₁₁ afforded another two new clusters [R(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)₂][RuCo₂(CO)₉]₂ (R=CH₂, 4a; R=C₆H₄-1,4-, 4b). The reactions of dipropargyl manolate, terephalate with Mo₂Cp₂(CO)₄ gave rise to the formation of dinuclear complexes [(HC₂CH₂OCO)R(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)][Mo₂Cp₂(CO)₄] (R=CH₂, 5a; R=C₆H₄-1,4-, 5b), compound 5a reacted with Co₂(CO)₈ to produce the cluster [CH₂(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)₂][Co₂(CO)₆][Mo₂Cp₂(CO)₄] 6a. All the new clusters have been characterized by C/H elemental analysis, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopies. The structure of [CH₂(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)₂][Co₂(CO)₆]₂ 1a and [p-(HC₂CH₂OCO)C₆H₄(CO₂CH₂C₂H-μ)][Co₂(CO)₆] 2b have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods.     

Reactions of [WI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-RC2R)2] (R = Me or Ph) with carbon monoxide to give either [WI2(CO)2(η2-MeC2Me)2] or [W(-I) I(CO) (η2-PhC2Ph)2]2. Crystal structure of [WI2(CO) 2( η2-MeC2Me)2]

The complexes [WI₂(CO)(NCMe)(η2)-RC₂R)₂] (R = Me and Ph) react in CH₂Cl₂ with an excess of carbon monoxide to give initially the acetonitrile substituted products [WI₂(CO)₂(η²-RC₂R) ₂]. For R= Me, the complex [WI₂(CO)₂(η²- MeC₂Me)₂] (1) was isolated and its structure determined by X-ray crystallography. However, for R = Ph, dimerisation occurs to give the iodide-bridged compound [W(μ-I)I(CO)(η²-PhC₂Ph)₂]₂ (2) with loss of carbon monoxide. These reactions are reversible as 1 and 2 react with acetonitrile to give [WI₂(CO)(NCMe)(η²-RC₂R)₂]. The ¹³C NMR spectra of I and 2 indicate that the two alkyne ligands donate a total of six electrons to the tungsten in these complexes.     

Reactions of (η6-diphenylacetylene) chromiumtricarbonyl complexes with polynuclear carbonyls I. Synthesis of Cr(CO)3(η6-diphenylacetylene) complex and its reaction with Co2(CO)8. Crystal and molecular structure of Cr(CO)3(η6:η2-diphenylacetylene)Co2(CO)6

The reaction of Cr(CO)₃(NH₃)₃ with diphenylacetylene affords as a main product the complex with Cr(CO)₃ moiety bound to a phenyl ring of diphenylacetylene; Cr(CO)₃(η⁶-PhC₂Ph) (I). Complex I readily reacts with Co₂(CO)₈ yielding the mixed metal complex Cr(CO)₃(η⁶:η²-PhC₂Ph)Co₂(CO)₆ (II). The reaction proceeds with retention of the Cr(CO)₃ (η⁶-arene) structural unit, the Co₂(CO)₆ fragment being bound to the triple bond of diphenylacetylene in μ₂,η²-mode. The structure of II was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The complex crystallizes in space group P2₁/c with unit cell parameters a 8.666(3) Å, b 18.046(3) Å, c 15.155(6) Å. β 97.57(3)°, V 2349(2) ų, Z = 4, D_x = 1.70 g/cm³. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares technique to R and R_w values of 0.032 and 0.034, respectively, for 3655 observed reflections. The data obtained show that two structural units in II, Cr(CO)₃(η⁶-Ph-) and Co₂(CO)₆(μ₂,η²-CC), are distorted due to steric repulsion between these metal carbonyl moieties. The Cr(CO)₃ fragment is shifted from the centre of the phenyl ring and slightly tilted with respect to the phenyl ring plane. The Co₂C₂ tetrahedron in the Co₂(CO)₆(μ₂,η²-CC) moiety is distorted in such a way that two of the four Co_iC_j bonds are elongated.

Some reactions of [(η6-C6Me6)Ru(η6-[2.2]paracyclophane)]-[BF4]2 with nucleophiles

Single addition of the nucleophiles X⁻ (X = H, CN, OH) to the less sterically hindered ring in [(η⁶-C₆Me₆)Ru(η⁶-C₁₆H₁₆)][BF₄]₂ (1) proceeds smoothly to produce, as the sole product, [(exo-η⁵-C₆Me₆X)Ru(η⁶-C₁₆H₁₆)][BF₄]. Use of Na[BD₄] in place of Na[BH₄] gives the expected shift in ν(C-H_exo) in the infrared spectrum.

Synthesis and Characterization of Tetrametal Cluster [Co2(CO)6][μ-HC2CH2OCH2C2H-μ][Co2(CO)6]

The treatment of dipropargyl ether HC2CH2OCH2C2H with Co2(CO)8 resulted in the formation of a novel cluster [Co2(CO)6][μ-HC2CH2OCH2C2H-μ][Co2(CO)6]. The cluster was characterized by C/H analyses, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure determination. It belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/c with the following crystallographic parameters: a=18.149(2), b=7.0111(7), c=20.897(2)(A), β=115.318(7)°, V=2403.7(5)(A)3, Z=4, Mr=665.97, Dc=1.840 g·cm-3, F(000)=1304.00, μ(Mo-Kα)=27.76 cm-1 and R=0.030 for 2372 observed reflections.     

The preparation of a series of ring-linked derivatives of [Fe2(η-C5H5)2(CO)2(μ-CO)2] starting from [Fe2η5,η5-C5H4CH(NMe3)CH(NMe2)C5H4}(CO)2(μ-CO)2]+ salts

The salts [Fe₂η⁵,η⁵-C₅H₄CH{NMe₃)CH(NMe₂)C₅H₄}(CO)₂(μ-CO)₂][X] (X = I or SO₃CF₃) are the synthetic precursors to a wide range of [Fe₂(η-C₅H₅)₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)₂] derivatives in which the two cyclopentadienyl ligands are joined by a two-carbon bridge.     

The synthesis and reactivity of the heptanuclear dianion [Os7(CO)20]2− including the synthesis and structural characterizations of the compounds [Os7(CO)20(AuPEt)3 2] and [Os8(CO)20(η6-C6H6]

Reduction of the heptaosmium cluster [Os₇(CO)₂₁] With [Et₄N][NH₄) gives the cluster dianion [Os₇(CO)₂₀]^2–,1, in high yield. The reaction of the dianion with [AuPR ₃Cl] (R=Et or Ph) in the presence of TlPF₆ forms [Os₇((CO)₂₀(AuPR ₃)₂] [R=Et (2a);R = Ph(2b)] in 80% yield, while the corresponding reaction with (Os(C₆H₆)(CH₃CN)₃]²⁺ gives [Os₈(CO)₂₀ ( ⁶-C₆H₆)] (3) in reasonable yield (ca. 30%). The dianion,1, and the clusters2 and3 have been fully characterized by bout spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. The crystal structure of the [Ph₄P]⁺ salt of1 shows that the metals in the anion adopt a capped octahedral geometry, with all twenty carbonyl ligands in terminal sites. The metal core geometry in2a is best described as a tricapped octahedron, and is based on the structure of the dianion1 with two adjacent octahedral faces capped by the Au atoms of the two AuPEt₃ groups. In a similar fashion, the geometry of3 is related to that of1 with the addition of an Os(C₆H₆) unit capped to a triangular face, to give a bicapped octahedral framework.     

A MECHANISTIC STUDY OF THE FORMATION OF [Ru6C(CO)16]2− FROM [Ru6(CO)18]2−

Abstract

The kinetics of the transformation of [Ru₆(CO)₁₈]^2? into [Ru₆C(CO)₁₆]^2? in diglyme over the temperature range 130–160°C have been determined. The results are consistent with reversible loss of a carbonyl ligand from [Ru₆(CO)₁₈]^2?, followed by formation of carbon dioxide and reassociation of carbon monoxide to give the observed product. Mass spectral analysis of the evolved carbon dioxide trapped as barium carbonate supports an intramolecular pathway for the disproportionation of carbon monoxide.     

Cascade reaction including a formal [5 + 2] cycloaddition by use of alkyne-Co2(CO)6 complex

A new cascade reaction including formal [5?+?2] cycloaddition was developed. Treatment of homocinnamyl alcohol and Co₂(CO)₆-complexed arylpropynal with BF₃·OEt₂ resulted in the generation of hydrobenzocycloheptafuran having an alkyne-Co₂(CO)₆ complex. The reaction consists of 5-membered ring selective Prins cyclization and subsequent Friedel-Crafts cyclization. The cascade reaction was applied to a further multi-step cascade cyclization, which resulted in the formation of more complex polycyclic hydrofurans.

The complexes were characterized by microanalysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and magnetochemistry. The crystal and molecular structure of complex 3 was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
