Perfluormethyl-Element-Liganden. XXXV. Reaktivität metallierter Phosphane und Arsane des Typs π-C5H5(CO)3MER2 (M  Cr,Mo, W; E  P,As; R  CF3, CN)

Perfluoromethyl-Element-Ligands. XXXV. Reactivity of Metallated Phosphanes and Arsanes of the Type π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MER₂ (M ? Cr, Mo, W; E ? P, As; R ? CF₃, CN) The influence of the complex fragments π-C₅H₅(CO)₃M (M ? Cr, Mo, W) on the basicity of the metallated phosphanes or arsanes π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MER₂ (E ? P, As; R ? CF₃, CN) has been investigated by reactions with sulfur, methyliodide, fluorotrichloromethane, and W(CO)₅THF, respectively. π-C₅H₅(CO)₃ME(CF₃)₂ (E ? P: 1a–c ; E ? As: 2a–c ) react with sulfur only for E ? P to give the complexes π-C₅H₅(CO)₃P(S)(CF₃)₂ ( 5a–c ) in good yield. The attempted thermal transformation of the phosphane sulfides to η² coordinated (CF₃)₂P?S complexes proves unsuccessful. The reactions of 1a–c, 2a–c and π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MP(CN)₂ ( 3a–c ) with CH₃I or CCl₃F do not lead to onium salts, but to cleavage of the M–E bonds forming π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MX (X ? I, Cl) and CH₃ER₂ and R₂ECCl₂F, respectively. The reactivity depends on ER₂ and M: P(CF₃)₂ > P(CN)₂ > As(CF₃)₂; Cr > Mo > W. Due to the low donor ability of the complexes 1a–c, 2a–c and 3a–c binuclear compounds π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MER₂W(CO)₅ (E ? As, R ? CF₃: 11a–c ; E ? P, R ? CN: 12a–c ; ER₂?P(CN)Ph: 13a, b ) are obtained only with the highly reactive W(CO)₅THF. In case of the (CF₃)₂P bridged derivatives spontaneous CO-elimination leads to the threemembered ring systems ( 10a–c ).     

Zweikernkomplexe des Typs Mn2(CO)8E(CF3)2E′R (E = P,As; E′ = S,Se, Te): Darstellung und Struktur

Perfluoromethyl Element Ligands. XLII Binuclear Complexes of the Type Mn₂(CO)₈E(CF₃)₂E′R (E = P, As; E′ = S, Se, Te): Synthesis and Structure Complexes of the type Mn₂(CO)₈E(CF₃)₂E′R, in which the groups E(CF₃)₂ and E′R act as bridging ligands, are prepared either by direct reactions of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ with (F₃C)₂EE′R (E = P, As; E′ = S, Se, Te) or by substitution of the iodine bridge in the representatives Mn₂(CO)₈ E(CF₃)₂I (E = P, As) with mercury compounds Hg(E′R)₂. As a rule the binuclear systems contain four‐membered heterocycles (Mn₂EE′). However, the reactions of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ with (F₃C)₂PE′P(CF₃)₂ (E′ = S, Se) yield five‐membered rings [Mn₂P(E′P)]. The compounds have been characterized by spectroscopic (NMR, IR, MS), analytic (C, H) and X‐ray diffraction investigations. The pyramidal Mn₂E′R fragment shows dynamic behaviour in solution via inversion between two identical structures.     

Perfluormethyl-Element-Liganden. XXXII. Reaktionen der Metallhydride π-C5H5(CO)3MH (M = Cr,Mo, W) mit Diphosphanen [Ph2−nYnP]2 (Y = I,CN, SiMe3; n = 2, 1, 0)

Perfluoromethyl Element Ligands. XXXII. Reactions of the Metal Hydrides π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MH (M = Cr, Mo, W) with Diphosphanes [Ph_2?nY_nP]₂ (Y = I, CN, SiMe₃; n = 2, 1, 0) The reactions of π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MH (M = Cr, Mo, W) ( 1a – c ) with the symmetric diphosphanes (Ph₂P)₂, [Ph(CN)P]₂, [(CN)₂P]₂, and the cyclophosphane (PPh)₅, respectively, occur under cleavage of the P? P bond. The reactivity decreases in the series The tendency to form binuclear complexes reflects the basicity of the metallated phosphanes π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MPRR′ and increases in the order P(CN)₂ < P(CN)Ph ? P(Ph)H < PPh₂. Iodine containing diphosphanes [Ph(I)P? P(I)Ph and P₂I₄] undergo redox reactions with 1a – c , yielding π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MI and unstable iodo-diphosphanes. No P? P bond cleavage occurs in the reaction of the silyl substituted diphosphanes [Ph(SiMe₃)P]₂ and [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂ with 1a – c , but P? Si bond fission is the preferred reaction giving π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MSiMe₃.     

Phosphido- und arsenido-verbrückte Zweikernkomplexe: Synthese und Struktur von (η5-C5H4R)2Zr{μ-P(SiMe3)2}2M(CO)4 (R = Me,M = Cr; R = H,M = Mo) sowie die Synthese von (η5-C5H5)2Zr{μ-As(SiMe3)2}2Cr(CO)4

Phosphido- and Arsenido-bridged Dinuclear Complexes. Synthesis and Molecular Structure of (η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Zr{μ-P(SiMe₃)₂}₂M(CO)₄ (R = Me, M = Cr; R = H, M = Mo) and Synthesis of (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Zr{μ-As(SiMe₃)₂}₂Cr(CO)₄ The reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Zr{E(SiMe₃)₂}₂ with M(CO)₄(NBD) (NBD = norbornadiene) yields the dinuclear phosphido- or arsenido-bridged complexes (η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Zr{μ-E(SiMe₃)₂}₂M(CO)₄ (R = Me, E = P, M = Cr ( 1 ); R = H, E = P, M = Mo ( 2 ); R = H, E = As, M = Cr ( 3 )). No formation of dinuclear complexes was observed in the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄Me)₂Zr{P(SiMe₃)₂}₂ with Ni(PEt₃)₄, Ni(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ or with NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂ in the presence of Mg. Complexes 1 – 3 were characterised spectroscopically (i. r., n. m. r., m. s.), and X-ray structure investigations were carried out on 1 and 2 . The central four-membered ZrP₂M ring is slightly puckered (dihedral angle between planes ZrP₂/CrP₂ 14.7°, ZrP₂/MoP₂ 14.2°). The Zr? P bond lengths are equivalent ( 1 : Zr? P1 2.654(4), Zr? P2 2.657(4) Å; 2 : Zr? P1 2.6711(9), Zr? P2 2.6585(7) Å), as are the M? P bond lengths (M = Cr ( 1 ): Cr? P1 2.513(4), Cr? P2 2.502(4) Å; M = Mo ( 2 ): Mo? P1 2.6263(7), Mo? P2 2.6311(10) Å). The long Zr ··· M distances of 3.414 Å (M = Cr ( 1 )) and 3.461 Å (M = Mo ( 2 )) indicate the absence of a metal-metal bond.     

Perfluormethyl-element-liganden XXVlI [1] Darstellung und spektroskopische untersuchung von W(CO)5L-komplexen (L = R2EER′2, R2EE′R; R,R′ = CH3; CF3; E = P,As; E′ = S,Se, Te)

W(CO)₅L complexes (L = R₂EER′₂, R₂EE′R; R, R′ = CH₃, CF₃; E = P, As; E′ = S, Se, Te) have been prepared by reaction of W(CO)₅·THF with L at room temperature or by redistribution reaction of W(CO)₅E₂Me₄ with E₂(CF₃)₄ or E′₂Me₂ as well as by cleavage of E₂(CF₃)₄ with W(CO)₅EMe₂H. The new compounds were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, MS) methods; by comparison with of the data of free and coordinated ligands the effects of complexation are studied.     

Übergangsmetall-substituierte Acylphosphane und Phosphaalkene. 17 [1] Synthese und Struktur der μ-Isophosphaalkin-Komplexe [(η5-C5H5)2(CO)2Fe2(μ-CO)(μ-CPC6H2R3-2,4,6)] (R = Me,iPr, tBu)

Transition Metal Substituted Acylphosphanes and Phosphaalkenes. 17. Synthesis and Structure of the μ-Isophosphaalkyne Complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂(CO)₂Fe₂(μ-CO)(μ-C?PC₆H₂R₃)] (R = Me, iPr, tBu) . Condensation of (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂(CO)₂Fe₂(μ-CO)(μ-CSMe)}⁺SO₃CF₃^? ( 6 ) with 2,4,6-R₃C₆H₂PH(SiMe₃) ( 7 ) ( a : R = Me, b : R = iPr, c : R = tBu) affords the complexes (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂(CO)₂Fe₂(μ-CO)(η-C?PC₆H₂R₃-2,4,6) ( 9 a–c ) with edge-bridging isophosphaalkyne ligands as confirmed by the x-ray structure analysis of 9 a .     

Preparation and properties of the formamidino complexes [M(π-C5H5){HC(NR)2}(CO)2] (M = molybdenum or tungsten; R = aryl or alkyl)

The preparation and properties of the complexes [M(π-C₅H₅){HC(NR)₂}CO)₂] (M = Mo, W; R = aryl or alkyl) are reported. The complex [Mo(π-C₅H₅){HC(N-p-tolyl)₂}(CO)₂] could be prepared by (a) reaction of MoCp(CO)₃Cl with M′{HC(N-p-tolyl)₂} (M′ = K, Ag or Cu); (b) irradiation of MoCp(CO)₃Cl with HC(HN-p-tolyl)N-p-tolyl); and (c) reaction of [MoCp(CO)₃]₂ with M′{HC(N-p-tolyl)₂} (M′ = Ag or Cu). The several routes to this complex give indications of the mechanisms of formation. The structure of these complexes and the bonding nature of the metal with the formamidino group is discussed on basis of the ¹H and ¹³C NMR and IR spectra.Reaction of N,N′-dimethyl formamidine with MCp(CO)₃Cl gave the complex [M(π-C₅H₅){HC(NMe)N(CO)Me}(CO)₂], containing a carbonyl inserted between the metal and the formamidino group. Irradiation of this carbamoyl complex caused decarbonylation, yielding the complex [M(π-C₅H₅){HC(NMe)₂}CO)₂].     

Rapid intramolecular interactions between organic isocyanates and hexafluorobut-2-yne on a dirhodium centre; X-ray crystal structure of (η-C5H5)2Rh2 {μ2(η3-C(CF3)C(CF3)C(O)N(Ph)}

Complexes of formula (η-C₅H₅₂Rh₂{CF₃C₂CF₃ · RNCO} have been prepared by three methods, from reactions between organic isocyanates and (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃) or (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)₂(CF₃C₂CF₃); by treatment of (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃) with organic azides; and by oxidation with Me₃NO of the organic isocyanide in (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CNR)(CF₃C₂CF₃). The crystal and molecular structure of the complex (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂{CF₃C₂CF₃ · RNCO} with R = Ph has been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. This reveals that the isocyanate has condensed with the hexafluorobut-2-yne to form an amide ligand of the form C(CF₃)C(CF₃)C(=O)N(R); this bridges the two rhodium atoms in a μ₂η³-manner.     

π-Cyclopentadienyls of nickel(II) : XIII. The preparation and properties of the compounds π-C5H5NiPBu3SC(S)X (X = OR,R and NRH) and π-C5H5NiPBu3SC(O)NRH

Compounds of the type π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃SC(S)X (X = R, OR and NRH) are obtained from reactions between [π-C₅H₅Ni(PBu₃)₂]⁺Cl^? and SC(S)X^? in aqueous solution. Compounds such as π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃SC(S)NRH are also obtained by reactions of π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃SH with RNCS.Reactions of C₆H₅NCS with π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃SEt or [π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃S(CH₂)_n]₂ (n = 1, 2 and 3) give π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃[SC(NC₆H₅)SC₂H₅] or [π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃ {SC(NC₆H₅)S(CH₂)_n}]₂ respectively.Similar reactions of π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃SH and RNCO given π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃SC(O)NRH.Treatment of π-C₅H₅NiPBu₃SC(S)R with HCl gives π-C₅H₅NiSC(S)R.     

Heterometallische Clusterkomplexe der Typen Re2(μ-PR2)(CO)8(HgY) und ReMo(μ-PR2)(η5-C5H5)(CO)6(HgY) (R = Ph,Cy; Y = Cl,W(η5-C5H5)(CO)3)

Heterometallic Cluster Complexes of the Types Re₂(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈(HgY) and ReMo(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgY) (R = Ph, Cy; Y = Cl, W(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃) Dinuclear complexes Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈ and ReMo(μ-H)(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆ (R = phenyl, cyclohexyl) were deprotonated and reacted as anions with HgCl₂ to compounds of the both types Re₂(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈HgCl) and ReMo(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl). The heterometallic three-membered cluster complexes correspond to an isolobal exchange of a proton against a cationic HgCl⁺ group. For one of the products ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl) has been shown its conversion with NaW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃ to ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(HgW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃) under substitution of the chloro ligand, par example. The newly prepared compounds were characterized by means of IR, UV/VIS and ³¹P NMR data. A complete determination of the molecular structure by single crystal analyses was done in the case of Re₂(μ-PCy₂)(CO)₈(HgCl) and of ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl) which both are dimer because of the presence of an asymmetric dichloro bridge, and of ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃). The structural study illustrates through comparison the influence of various metal types on an interaction between centric and edge-bridged frontier orbitals in three-membered metal rings.     

C?H and N?H bond activation in reactions of vinyl acetate,allyl cyanide,allylamine and other amines with (η-C5H5)2Rh2(CO)(CF3C2CF3)

There is activation of olefinic C? H bonds when (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂(CO)(CF₃C₂CF₃) is treated with vinyl acetate or allyl cyanide. These reactions are initiated by exposure to sunlight. In the vinyl acetate reaction, each of the three vinylic C? H bonds can be broken, but there is strong preference for cleavage at the substituted carbon. The products formed in these reactions are bisalkenyl complexes of the type (η-C₅H₅)₂Rh₂{μ-C(CF₃)C(CF₃)H}(μ-CR?CR′R″), and all isomers have been thoroughly characterized by NMR analysis. Similar reactions with allylamine and other amines (NH₂R, NHMe₂) occur in the dark and proceed by N? H bond cleavage. Near-quantitative amounts of the products, (η-C₅H₅)Rh₂{C(CF₃)C(CF₃)H}(C(O)NRR′) are isolated. Spectroscopic data indicate a bridging carboxamide ligand attached to the Rh? Rh bond from oxygen and nitrogen donor sites. It is proposed that coordination of O or N to rhodium has a strong influence on all of the reactions studied.     

Use of the Cationic Fragments [Ru(η5-C5H5) (MeCN)3]+ and [M(η6-C6H5R)(MeCN)3]+ (M=Os, Ru; R=H, Me) as Ionic Coupling Reagents in the Synthesis of the Clusters [Os4M2(CO)12(η6-C6H5R)], [Os4M(CO)12(η6-C6H6)(Au2dppm)] and [Os5Ru(CO)15(η5-C5H5)(AuPPh3)]*

The clusters [H₂Os₄M(CO)₁₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)] (M=Os, Ru) may be deprotonated to generate anions [Os₄M(CO)₁₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)]^2- which react with [M′eta⁶-C₆H₅R) (MeCN)₃]²⁺(M^′=Os, Ru; R=H, Me) to give the bicapped tetrahedral clusters [Os₄(CO)₁₂MM′eta⁶-C₆H₅R)₂]. Whereas [Os₄(CO)₁₂M₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)₂] (M=Os, Ru) have one Meta⁶-C₆H₆) unit in a site connected to three other metals, {3}, and one in a site connected to four other metals, {4}, [Os₄(CO)₁₂OsRueta⁶-C₆H₆)₂] has the Rueta⁶-C₆H₆) unit in the {3} site irrespective of whether the Os or Ru anion is capped. Coupling of these anions with Au₂dppm yields [Os₄M(CO)₁₂eta⁶-C₆H₆)(Au₂dppm)] (M=Os, Ru), which have the arene ligand in the axial site of a trigonal bipyramid and the digold unit capping two faces. Reduction of [H₂Os₅(CO)₁₅] with K/Ph₂CO and coupling with [Rueta⁵-C₅H₅)(MeCN)₃]²⁺yields the monoanion [Os₅(CO)₁₅Rueta⁵-C₅H₅)]^? which reacts with [AuPPh₃]⁺ generating [Os₅(CO)₁₅Rueta⁵-C₅H₅)(AuPPh₃)] with the “Ru(C₅H₅)” unit in the terminal {3} site.     

Verbindungen des Typs (F3C)2EE′R mit Pseudohalogen-Charakter (E = P,As; E′ = S,Se, Te)

Perfluoromethyl Element Ligands. XLI. [1] Compounds of the Type (F₃C)₂EE′R with Pseudohalide Character (E = P, As; E′ = S, Se, Te) Perfluoromethyl phosphorus and -arsenic compounds of the type (F₃C)₂EE′R (E = P, As; E′ = S, Se, Te; R = organic group) are prepared either by dismutation (metathesis) of E₂(CF₃)₄ with (RE′)₂ or by reaction of the iodine compounds (F₃C)₂EI with mercury(II) organosulfanides Hg(SR)₂ and characterized by spectroscopic (¹H, ¹⁹F, ³¹P-NMR; IR; MS) as well as analytical investigations (C, H).     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXVI [1]. M(CO)4L-Komplexe (M  Cr,Mo, W) der Chelatliganden Me2ESiMe2(CH2)2E′Me2 (Me  CH3; E  P,As; E′  N,P, As)

Alternative Ligands. XXVI. M(CO)₄ L-Complexes (M ? Cr, Mo, W) of the Chelating Ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂ (Me ? CH₃; E ? P, As; E′ ? N, P, As) The reaction of M(CO)₄NBD (NBD = norbornadiene; M ? Cr, Mo, W) with the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂ yields the chelate complexes (CO)₄M[Me₂ESiMe₂]) for E,E′ ? P, As, but not for E and /or E′ ? N. The NSi group is not suited for coordination because of strong (p-d)π-interaction. In the case of the ligands with E ? P or As and E′ ? N chelate complexes can be detected in the reaction mixture, but isolable products are complexes with two ligands coordinated via the E donor group. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, MS) investigations. The spectroscopic data are also used to deduce the coordinating properties of the ligands. X-ray diffraction studies of the molybdenum complexes (CO)₄Mo[Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂AsMe ₂] (E ? P, As) in accord with the observed coordination effects show only small differences between SiE and CE donor functions. Attempts to use the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂AsMe₂ (E ? P, As) for the preparation of Fe(CO)₃L complexes result in the fission of the SiE bonds and the formation of the binuclear systems Fe₂(CO)₆(EMe₂)₂ (E ? P, As) together with the disilane derivative [Me₂Si(CH₂)₂AsMe₂]₂.     

Perfluormethyl-Element-Liganden. XL. Chrom- und Wolframpentacarbonylkomplexe von Bis(trifluormethyl)phosphanen des Typs (F3C)2PX′ (X′ = H,F, Cl,Br, I,NEt2)

Perfluormethyl-Element-Ligands. XL. Chromium and Tungsten Pentacarbonyl Complexes of Bis(trifluoromethyl)phosphanes of the Type (F₃C)₂PX′ (X′ = H, F, Cl, Br, I, NEt₂) The complexes M(CO)₅P(CF₃)₂X′ (M = Cr, W; X′ = H, F, Cl, Br, I) are obtained in preparative amounts (yields between 15 and 42%) by reacting the ligands (F₃C)₂PX′ with the adducts “M(CO)₅CH₂Cl₂”, photochemically generated from M(CO)₆ in methylene chloride. The corresponding derivatives of the aminophosphane Et₂NP(CF₃)₂ can be produced in good yields (60–75%) using the THF complexes M(CO)₅THF as precursors. The spectroscopic data (MS, IR, NMR) of the new compounds are reported. The CO valence frequencies v(CO) and the coordination shifts Δδ prove the high π-acidity of the ligands (F₃C)₂PX′.     

Reaktionen von Cyclostibanen (RSb)n [R = (Me3Si)2CH,n = 3; Me3CCH2, n = 4, 5] mit den Übergangsmetallcarbonyl‐Komplexen [W(CO)5(thf)], [CpxMn(CO)2(thf)], [CpxCr(CO)3]2 und [Co2(CO)8]; Cpx = MeC5H4

Reactions of Cyclostibanes, (RSb)_n [R = (Me₃Si)₂CH, n = 3; Me₃CCH₂, n = 4, 5] with the Transition Metal Carbonyl Complexes [W(CO)₅(thf)], [Cp^xMn(CO)₂(thf)], [Cp^xCr(CO)₃]₂, and [Co₂(CO)₈]; Cp^x = MeC₅H₄ (RSb)₃ [R = (Me₃Si)₂CH] reacts with [W(CO)₅(thf)], [Cp^xMn(CO)₂(thf)], or [Co₂(CO)₈] to give [(RSb)₃W(CO)₅] ( 1 ), [RSb{Mn(CO)₂Cp^x}₂] ( 2 ) or [RSbCo(CO)₃]₂ ( 3 ). The reaction of (R′Sb)_n (n = 4, 5; R′ = Me₃CCH₂) with [Cp^xCr(CO)₃]₂ leads to [(R′Sb)₄{Cr(CO)₂Cp^x}₂] ( 4 ); Cp^x = MeC₅H₄, thf = Tetrahydrofuran.     

Übergangsmetall-substituierte Acylphosphane und Phosphaalkene. 22 [1] Insertionen von Hexafluoraceton in die PX-Bindung von Metallophosphanen des Typs (η5-C5Me5)(CO)2M?PX2 (M = Fe,Ru; X = Me3Si,Cl). Strukturbestimmung von (η5-C5Me5)(CO)2Fe?P(SiMe3)C(CF3)2(OSiMe3)

Transition Metal-substituted Acylphosphanes and Phosphaalkenes. 22. Insertions of Hexafluoroacetone into the PX-Bond of Metallophosphanes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M? PX₂ (M = Fe, Ru; X = Me₃Si, Cl). Structure Determination of (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe? P(SiMe₃)C(CF₃)₂(OSiMe₃) Reaction of the metallophosphanes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M? P(SiMe₃)₂ ( 1a : M = Fe; 1b : M = Ru) with hexafluoroacetone (HFA) afforded the complexes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M? P(SiMe₃)C(CF₃)₂(OSiMe₃) ( 2a, b ). The attempted synthesis of a metallophosphaalkene from 2a by thermal elimination of hexamethyldisiloxane failed. The acid catalyzed hydrolysis of 2a afforded compound (η⁵-C₅Me₅) · (CO)₂Fe? P(H)C(CF₃)₂(OSiMe₃) ( 3 ). Hexafluoracetone and (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe? PCl₂ ( 4 ) under-went reaction to give the metallochlorophosphan (η⁵-C₅Me₅) · (CO)₂Fe? P(Cl)? O? C(CF₃)₂Cl ( 5 ). Constitutions and configurations of the compounds ( 2–5 ) were established by elemental analyses and spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H-, ¹³C, ¹⁹F-, ²⁹Si-, ³¹P-NMR, MS). The molecular structure of 2a was determined by x-ray diffraction analysis.     

Mass spectrometry of metal compounds: II—mass spectrometric studies of [CF3EMn(CO)4]2, [CF3EFe(CO)3]2 (E = S,Se), CF3SeFe(CO)2C5H5 and CF3SCr(NO)2C5H5

The electron impact induced mass spectra of [CF₃SMn(CO)₄]₂, [CF₃SeMn(CO)₄]₂, [CF₃SFe(CO)₃]₂, [CF₃SeFe(CO)₃]₂, CF₃SeFe(CO)₂C₅H₅ and CF₃SCr(NO)₂C₅H₅ are reported. These compounds exhibit weak molecular ion peaks and undergo preferential loss of CO or NO groups. The CO or NO free fragments suffer typical loss of ECF₂(E = S, Se) with the simultaneous shift of F from carbon to metal. The ions [FFeC₅H₅]⁺ and [FCrC₅H₅]⁺ in the spectra of the cyclopentadienyl compounds prefer expulsion of π-cyclopentadienyls. The pyrolysis effects on the spectra of the compounds have been studied. An increase in temperature eases the expulsion of ECF₂ groups from all the compounds and favors the formation of [Fe(C₅H₅)₂]⁺ and [Cr(C₅H₅)₂]⁺ in the cyclopentadienyl compounds.
