Regioselektive Ringöffnungen von einfach ungesättigten triangularen Clusterkomplexen [M2Rh(μ‐PR2)(μ‐CO)2(CO)8] (M2 = Re2, Mn2; R = Cy,Ph; M2 = MnRe,R = Ph) mit Diphosphanen

Regioselective Ring Opening Reactions of Unifold Unsaturated Triangular Cluster Complexes [M₂Rh(μ‐PR₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₈] (M₂ = Re₂, Mn₂; R = Cy, Ph; M₂ = MnRe, R = Ph) with Diphosphanes Equimolar amounts of the triangular title compounds and chelates of the type (Ph₂P)₂Z (Z = CH₂, DPPM ; C=CH₂, EPP ) react in thf solution at –40 to –20 °C under release of the labile terminal carbonyl ligand attached to the rhodium atom in good yields (70–90%) to ring‐opened unifold unsaturated complexes [MRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M(DPPM bzw. EPP)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₃] (DPPM: M₂ = Re₂, R = Cy 1 , Ph 2 ; Mn₂, Cy 5 , Ph 6 ; MnRe, Cy 7 . EPP: M₂ = Re₂, R = Cy 8 ; Mn₂, Cy 10 ). Complexes 1 , 2 and 8 react subsequently under minor uptake of carbon monoxide and formation of the valence saturated complexes [ReRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M(DPPM bzw. EPP) (CO)₆] (DPPM: R = Cy 3 , Ph 4 . EPP: R = Cy 9 ). Separate experiments ascertained that the regioselective ring opening at the M–M‐edge of the title compounds is limited to reactions with diphosphanes chelates with only one chain member and that the preparation of the unsaturated complexes demands relatively good donor ability of both P atoms. As examples for both types of compounds the molecular structures of 8 and 3 have been determined from single crystal X‐ray structure analysis. Additionally all new compounds are identified by means of ν(CO)IR, ¹H‐ and ³¹P‐NMR data. This includes complexes with a modified chain member in 1 and 5 which, after deprotonation reaction to carbanionic intermediates, could be trapped with [PPh₃Au]⁺ cations as rac‐[MRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M((Ph₂P)₂CHAuPPh₃)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₃] (M₂ = Re 17 , Mn 18 ) and products rac‐[MRh(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄M((Ph₂P)₂CHCH₂R)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₃] (M₂ = Re, R = Ph 19 , n‐Bu 21 , Me 23 ; Mn, Ph 20 , n‐Bu 22 , Me 24 ) which result from Michael‐type addition reactions of 8 or 10 with strong nucleophiles LiR.

Similarly, [η²-{P–P^tBu₂}Pt(dppe)] 5 yields [η²-{(CO)₅Cr · PP^tBu₂}Pt(dppe)] 3 .

(NH₄)₃[M₂NCl₁₀] (M = Nb, Ta): Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Phase Transition The nitrido complexes (NH₄)₃[Nb₂NCl₁₀], and (NH₄)₃[Ta₂NCl₁₀] are obtained in form of moisture-sensitive, tetragonal crystals by the reaction of the corresponding pentachlorides with NH₄Cl at 400 °C in sealed glass ampoules. Both compounds crystallize isotypically in two modifications, a low temperature form with the space group P4/mnc and a high temperature form with space group I4/mmm. In case of (NH₄)₃[Ta₂NCl₁₀] a continuous phase transition occurs between –70 °C and +60 °C. For the niobium compound this phase transition is not yet fully completed at 90 °C. The structure of (NH₄)₃[Nb₂NCl₁₀] was determined at several temperatures between –65 °C und +90 °C to carefully follow the continuous phase transition. For (NH₄)₃[Ta₂NCl₁₀] the structure of the low temperature form was determined at –70 °C, and of the high temperature form at +60 °C. The closely related crystal structures of the two modifications contain NH₄⁺ cations and [M₂NCl₁₀]^3– anions. The anions with the symmetry D_4h are characterized by a symmetrical nitrido bridge M=N=M with distances Nb–N = 184.5(1) pm at –65 °C or 183.8(2) pm at 90 °C, and Ta–N = 184.86(5) pm at –70 °C or 184.57(5) pm at 60 °C.

Coordinatively Unsaturated Diruthenium Complexes: Synthesis and X‐ray Crystal Structures of [Ru₂(CO)₃L(μ‐η¹ : η²‐C≡CPh)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] (L = CO, PⁿBu₃) [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 1 ) reacts with several phosphines (L) in refluxing toluene under substitution of one carbonyl ligand and yields the compounds [Ru₂(CO)₃L(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] (L = PⁿBu₃, 2 a ; L = PCy₂H, 2 b ; L = dppm‐P, 2 c ; dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂). The reactivity of 1 as well as the activated complexes 2 a – c towards phenylethyne was studied.

Synthese gemischt chalkogenido‐verbrückter Dirheniumkomplexe vom Typ Re2(μ‐ER)(μ‐E′R′)(CO)8 (E,E′ = S,Se, Te; R,R′ = org. Rest)

Synthesis of Mixed Chalcogenido‐Bridged Dirhenium Complexes of the Type Re₂(μ‐ER)(μ‐E′R′)(CO)₈ (E, E′ = S, Se, Te; R, R′ = org. Residue) Hydrido sulfido bridged complexes Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐SR)(CO)₈ (R = Ph, naph, Cy) react with the base DBU to give the salts [DBUH][Re₂(μ‐SR)(CO)₈]. Upon addition of electrophiles R′E′Br (E′R = SPh, SePh, TePh) to the in situ prepared salts mixed chalcogenido bridged complexes Re₂(μ‐SR)(μ‐E′R′)(CO)₈ were formed. The structures of the new compounds Re₂(μ‐SCy)(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈ and Re₂(μ‐Snaph)(μ‐TePh)(CO)₈ were determined by single crystal X‐ray analyses. For the preparation of analogous selenido tellurido bridged complexes Re₂(μ‐SePh)(μ‐TeR)(CO)₈ the novel hydrido selenido bridged complex Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈ was prepared from Re₂(CO)₈(NCMe)₂ and PhSeH. Its structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray analysis. Subsequent deprotonation with DBU gave in situ [DBUH][Re₂(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈] which upon addition of RTeBr (R = Ph, Buⁿ, Bu^t) formed the desired complexes Re₂(μ‐SePh)(μ‐TeR)(CO)₈. The reaction with Bu^tTeBr also yielded the novel spirocyclic complex (μ₄‐Te){Re₂(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈}₂ in low amounts. It was identified by single crystal X‐ray analysis. Re₂(μ‐SePh)(μ‐TeBu^t)(CO)₈ is oxidised in chloroform in the presence of air to give the novel complex (μ‐Te–Te‐μ){Re₂(μ‐SePh)(CO)₈}₂. All mixed chalcogenido bridged dirhenium complexes were proved to be dynamic in solution by ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The dynamic behaviour is based on the fast and permanent inversion of the sulfido and selenido bridges. The tellurido bridges are rigid on the time scale of ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.

Clusterkomplexe [M2Rh(μ‐PCy2)(μ‐CO)2(CO)8] mit triangularem Metallgerüst RhM2 (M = Mn,Re; M2 = MnRe): Synthese,Struktur, Ringöffnungen und Katalysatoreigenschaften für die Isomerisierung und Hydroformylierung von 1‐Hexen

Cluster Complexes [M₂Rh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₈] with Triangular Core of RhM₂ (M = Re, Mn; M₂ = MnRe): Synthesis, Structure, Ring Opening Reaction, and Properties as Catalysts for Hydroformylation and Isomerisation of 1‐Hexene The salts PPh₄[M₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₈] and Rh(COD)[ClO₄] were in equimolar amounts reacted at –40 to –15 °C in the presence of CO_(g) in CH₂Cl₂/methanol solution under release of PPh₄[ClO₄] to intermediates. Such species formed in a selective reaction the unifold unsaturated 46 valence electrons title compounds [M₂Rh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₈] (M = Re 1 , Mn 2 ; M₂ = MnRe 3 ) in yields of > 90%; analogeous the derivatives with the PPh₂ bridge could the obtained (M = Re 4 , Mn 5 ). From these clusters the molecular structure of 2 was determined by a single crystal X‐ray analysis. The exchange of the labil CO ligand attached at the rhodium ring atom in 1 – 3 against selected tertiary and secondary phosphanes in solution gave the substitution products [M₂RhL(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐CO)₂(CO)₇] (M = Re: L = PMe₃ 6 , P(n‐Bu)₃ 7 , P(n‐C₆H₄SO₃Na)₃ 8 , HPCy₂ 9 , HPPh₂ 10 , HPMen₂ 11 , M₂ = MnRe: L = HPCy₂ 12 ) nearly quantitative. Such dimanganese rhodium intermediates ligated with secondary phosphanes were converted in a subsequent reaction to the ring‐opened complexes [MnRh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐H)(CO)₅Mn(μ‐PR₂)(CO)₄] (M = Mn: R = Cy 13 , Ph 14 , Mn 15 ). The molecular structure of 13 , which showed in the time scale of the ³¹P NMR method a fluxional behaviour, was determined by X‐ray structure analysis. All products obtained were always characterized by means of υ(CO)Ir, ¹H and ³¹P NMR measurements. From the reactants of hydroformylation process, CO_(g) 1 – 2 in different solvents afforded at 20 °C under a reversible ring opening reaction the valence‐saturated complexes [MRh(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇M(CO)₅] (M = Re 16 , Mn 17 ), whereas the reaction of CO_(g) and the ring‐opened 13 to [MnRh(μ‐PCy₂)(μ‐H)(CO)₆Mn(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₄] ( 18 ) was as well reversible. The molecular structures of 17 and 18 were determined by X‐ray analysis. The υ(CO)IR, ¹H and ³¹P NMR measurements in pressure‐resistant reaction vessels at 20 °C ascertained the heterolytic splitting of hydrogen in the reaction of 1 – 2 dissolved in CDCl₃ or THF‐d₈ under formation of product monoanions [M₂Rh(μ‐CO)(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₉]^– (M = Re, Mn), which also were formed by the reaction of NaBH₄ and 1 – 2 . Finally, the substrate 1‐hexene and 1 and 3 gave under the release of the labil CO ligand an η²‐coordination pattern of hexene, which was weekened going from the Re to the Mn neighbor atoms. After the results of the catalytic experiments with 1 and 2 as catalysts, such change in the bonding property revealed an advantageous formation of hydroformylation products for the dirhenium rhodium catalyst 1 and that of isomerisation products of hexene for the dimanganese rhodium catalyst 2 . Par example, 1 generated n‐heptanal/2‐methylhexanal in TOF values of 246 [h^–1] (n/iso = 3.4) and the c,t‐hexenes in that of 241 [h^–1]. Opposotite to this, 2 achieved such values of 55 [h^–1] (n/iso = 3.6) and 473 [h^–1]. A triphenylphosphane substitution product of 1 increased the activity of the hydroformylation reaction about 20%, accompanied by an only gradually improved selectivity. The hydrogenation products like alcohols and saturated hydrocarbons known from industrial hydroformylation processes were not observed. The metals manganese and rhenium bound at the rhodium reaction center showed a cooperative effect.

Structure and Properties of UO2(H2AsO4)2 · H2O

UO₂(H₂AsO₄)₂ · H₂O was synthesized by dissolving elemental uranium in arsenic acid (80.5%) for twelve weeks at room temperature. The resulting small crystals were transparent and of yellow‐green color. The crystal structure was refined from single‐crystal X‐ray data: C2/c, a = 1316.4(3) pm, b = 886.2(2) pm, c = 905.0(3) pm, β = 124.41(3)°, R1 = 0.023, wR2 = 0.060, 981 structure factors, and 65 variable parameters. The uranium atoms of this new structure type are coordinated by two very close oxygen atoms in linear arrangement. Four further oxygen atoms which belong to four different AsO₄ tetrahedra and the oxygen atom of the water molecule complete the 7‐fold coordination of the uranium atoms. [UO₂(H₂O)]²⁺ and two H₂AsO₄^– units form infinite electroneutral chains which are the main building units of the structure and which are interconnected by hydrogen bridging bonds. IR heating experiments show that dehydration around 500 K leads to a complete decomposition of the structure. Magnetic measurement gave a diamagnetic behavior with a susceptibility of χ = –8.68 10^–9 m³/mol in good agreement with the diamagnetic increment of the compound (χ = –8.20 10^–9 m³/mol) calculations with U⁶⁺.

Vierkernige Clusterkomplexe vom Typ [MM′(AuPR3)2(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy2)(μ4‐PCy)(CO)6] (M,M′ = Mn,Re; R = Ph,Cy, Et): Synthese,Struktur und Topomerisierung

Tetranuclear Cluster Complexes of the Type [MM′(AuR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (M,M′ = Mn, Re; R = Ph, Cy, Et): Synthesis, Structure, and Topomerisation The dirhenium complex [Re₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 1 ) reacts at room temperature in thf solution with each two equivalents of the base DBU and of ClAuPR₃ (R = Ph, Cy, Et) in a photochemical reaction process to afford the tetranuclear clusters [Re₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 2 ), Cy ( 3 ), Et ( 4 )) in yields of 35–48%. The homologue [Mn₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax‐H₂PCy)] ( 5 ) leads under the same reaction conditions to the corresponding products [Mn₂(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 6 ), Et ( 8 )). Also [MnRe(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(CO)₇(ax/eq‐H₂PCy)] ( 9 ) reacts under formation of [MnRe(AuPR₃)₂(μ‐H)(μ‐PCy₂)(μ₄‐PCy)(CO)₆] (R = Ph ( 10 ), Et ( 11 )). All new cluster complexes were identified by means of ¹H‐NMR, ³¹P‐NMR and ν(CO)‐IR spectroscopic measurements. 2 , 4 and 10 have also been characterized by single crystal X‐ray structure analyses with crystal parameters: 2 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.256(4) Å, b = 12.326(4) Å, c = 24.200(6) Å, α = 83.77(2)°, β = 78.43(2)°, γ = 68.76(2)°, Z = 2; 4 monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 12.851(3) Å, b = 18.369(3) Å, c = 40.966(8) Å, β = 94.22(1)°, Z = 8; 10 triclinic, space group P 1, a = 12.083(1) Å, b = 12.185(2) Å, c = 24.017(6) Å, α = 83.49(29)°, β = 78.54(2)°, γ = 69.15(2)°, Z = 2. The trapezoid arrangement of the metal atoms in 2 and 4 show in the solid structure trans‐positioned an open and a closed Re…Au edge. In solution these edges are equivalent and, on the ³¹P NMR time scale, represent two fluxional Re–Au bonds in the course of a topomerization process. Corresponding dynamic properties were observed for the dimanganese compounds 6 and 8 but not for the related MnRe clusters 10 and 11 . 2 and 4 are the first examples of cluster compounds with a permanent Re–Au bond valence isomerization.     

Copper(I) d10···d10 Interactions and Diselenide(1–) Radical Anions in Mixed Valent Selenides Cu4–δBiSe4I

Melting reactions of copper, CuI, selenium, and Bi₂Se₃ yielded black, shiny needles of Cu₄BiSe₄I = Cu₄BiSe₂(Se₂)I. The compound decomposes peritectically above 635(5) K and crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 960.1(1) pm, b = 413.16(3) pm, and c = 2274.7(2) pm (T = 293(2) K). In the crystal structure, strands ${1}\atop{{\infty}}$ [BiSeSe_2/2(Se₂)_2/2]^3– run along [010]. Therein, the bismuth(III) cation is coordinated by five selenium atoms, which form a square pyramid. The copper(I) cations are coordinated tetrahedrally by selenide, diselenide and iodide ions. Edge‐sharing of these tetrahedra results in zigzag chains of copper cations with short distances of 262.7(4) pm. Enhanced dispersion of the 3d bands, the Crystal Orbital Hamilton Populations (COHP), and disynaptic ELI‐D basins indicate weakly attractive d¹⁰···d¹⁰ interactions between the copper cations. The semiconducting properties and the calculated electronic band structure suggest an electron‐precise compound. In copper‐deficient Cu_3.824(8)BiSe₄I, the Cu···Cu distances are 5 pm shorter, and Raman spectroscopy indicates the presence of diselenide(1–) radical anions besides the diselenide(2–) groups. As a result, in Cu_3.824(8)BiSe₄I, selenium coexists in the oxidations states –II, –I, and –0.5.

According to X-ray single crystal determinations on La(HSO₄)₃ (hexagonal, P6₃/m, a = 945.64(9) pm, c = 590.87(5) pm), Ce(HSO₄)₃ (a = 943.34(10) pm, c = 587.88(5) pm), Pr(HSO₄)₃ (hexagonal, P6₃/m, a = 939.8(1) pm, c = 584.82(9) pm) and Nd(HSO₄)₃ (hexagonal, P6₃/m, a = 935.67(8) pm, c = 582.36(4) pm) they all crystallize analogous to the UCl₃ type of structure with nine-coordinate M³⁺ ions. The OH groups of the [HOSO₃]^– ”︁tetrahedra”︁”︁ build up channels parallel [00.1] typical for this type of structure. Hydrogen bonding, however, is only weak in these compounds.

They crystallize in the Na₆[ZnO₄]‐type structure (hexagonal, space group: P6₃mc, Z = 2; Na₄Ca₂[SnP₄]: a = 938.94(7), c = 710.09(8) pm; K₄Sr₂[SnAs₄]: a = 1045.0(2), c = 767.0(1) pm; K₄Ba₂[SnP₄]: a = 1029.1(6), c = 780.2(4) pm; K₄Ba₂[SnAs₄]: a = 1051.3(1), c = 795.79(7) pm; K₄Ba₂[SnSb₄]: a = 1116.9(2), c = 829.2(1) pm; K₄Ba₂[SnBi₄]: a = 1139.5(2), c = 832.0(2) pm).

Kristallstrukturen der Terpyridin-Komplexe [Cd(terpy)Cl2], [Cu(terpy)(CN)Cl] und [Cu(terpy)][Cu(CN)3] · H2O

Crystal Structures of the Terpyridine Complexes [Cd(terpy)Cl₂], [Cu(terpy)(CN)Cl], and [Cu(terpy)][Cu(CN)₃] · H₂O By reaction of cadmium chloride with 2,2′ : 6′,2″-terpyridine (“terpy”) in water/acetone crystals of [Cd(terpy)Cl₂] ( 1) were formed. The compound crystallizes monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 1111.70(10), b = 823.10(7), c = 1643.00(14) pm, β = 93.913(1)°, Z = 4. Starting from mixtures of different molar ratios of copper(II) chloride, terpyridine, and KCN in water/methanole, two complexes of different composition were obtained. At the molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 2 a copper(II) coordination compound with both halide and pseudohalide ligands, [Cu(terpy)(CN)Cl] ( 2 ), was formed which also crystallizes monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 1065.6(3), b = 824.6(2), c = 1644.5(7) pm, β = 98.214(3)°, Z = 4. At a molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 10 a partial reduction of copper(II) occured with formation of a mixed valency compound [Cu(terpy)][Cu(CN)₃] · H₂O ( 3 ) which crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6₅22, with a = b = 800.29(1), c = 4771.05(7) pm, Z = 6. Compounds 1 and 2 are structurally similar, the coordination of the metal atoms is square pyramidal. Networks are formed by hydrogen bridges. In 3 the copper(II) ions show a distorted square planar coordination by the three N atoms of the terpy ligand and one N atom of a bridging CN^– group, the copper(I) atoms, however, show trigonal planar coordination by three CN^– ligands to which the water molecules are bonded by hydrogen bridges. Thus helical chains are formed which stretch in the direction of the screw axes. The EPR spectrum of 3 was measured.
