Tantalocene complexes as bidentate métalloligands: (C5Me5)(C5H4X)Ta(H2)(PPh2) (C5Me5) (C5H4X)Ta(CO) (PPh2) (X = PPh2, CH2CH2NMe2)

The synthesis of new bidentate métalloligands derived from tantalocene(C₅Me₅)(C₅H₄X)Ta(H₂)(PPh₂) (X = PPh₂, 2P; X = CH₂CH₂NMe₂2N) and (C₅Me₅)(C₅H₄X)Ta(CO)(PPh₂) 4(P,N) is described. When opposed to chromium unsaturated fragments the phosphino functionalised complexes 2P and 4P act as chelating bidentate ligands affording Ta(V) (C₅Me₅)(C₅H₄PPh₂)Ta(CH₂) (μ-PPh₂)Cr(CO)₄ or Ta(III) (C₅Me₅)(C₅H₄PPh₂)Ta(CO)(μ-PPh₂)Cr(CO)₄ bimetallic complexes. The same reaction carried out starting from 2N gives rise to a μ-phosphido, μ-hydrido dibridged complex Cp*(C₅H₄CH₂CH₂NMe₂)TaH(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂)Cr(CO)₄.     

Self-recognition by the iron chiral auxiliary [(η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)(PPh3] in the formation of (RR,SS)-[(η5-C5H5)FE(CO)(PPh3)COCH2]2CH2

Complete self-recognition of chirality is observed in the Michael addition of the enolate derived from R,S-[η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)(PPh₃-COCH₃] to the acryloyl complex R,S-[(η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)(PPh₃)-COCHCH₂)] to generate exclusively the single diastereoisomer of the glutaroyl complex RR,SS-[(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(PPh₃)COCH₂]₂CH₂.     

Nature of M-Ga bonds in dihalogallyl complexes (η5-C5H5)(Me3P)2M(GaX2) (M = Fe, Ru, Os) and (η5-C5H5)(OC)2Fe(GaX2) (X = Cl, Br, I): a DFT study

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on the terminal dihalogallyl complexes of iron, ruthenium, and osmium (η(5)-C(5)H(5))(Me(3)P)(2)M(GaX(2)) (M = Fe, Ru, Os; X = Cl, Br, I) and (η(5)-C(5)H(5))(OC)(2)Fe(GaX(2)) (X = Cl, Br, I) at the BP86/TZ2P/ZORA level of theory. On the basis of analyses suggested by Pauling, the M-Ga bonds in all of the dihalogallyl complexes are shorter than M-Ga single bonds; moreover, on going from X = Cl to X = I, the optimized M-Ga bond distances are found to increase. From the perspective of covalent bonding, however, π-symmetry contributions are, in all complexes, significantly smaller than the corresponding σ-bonding contribution, representing only 4-10% of the total orbital interaction. Thus, in these GaX(2) complexes, the gallyl ligand behaves predominantly as a σ donor, and the short M-Ga bond lengths can be attributed to high gallium s-orbital character in the M-Ga σ-bonding orbitals. The natural population analysis (NPA) charge distributions indicate that the group 8 metal atom carries a negative charge (from -1.38 to -1.62) and the gallium atom carries a significant positive charge in all cases (from +0.76 to +1.18). Moreover, the contributions of the electrostatic interaction terms (ΔE(elstat)) are significantly larger in all gallyl complexes than the covalent bonding term (ΔE(orb)); thus, the M-Ga bonds have predominantly ionic character (60-72%). The magnitude of the charge separation is greatest for dichlorogallyl complexes (compared to the corresponding GaBr(2) and GaI(2) systems), leading to a larger attractive ΔE(elstat) term and to M-Ga bonds that are stronger and marginally shorter than in the dibromo and diiodo analogues.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Photoluminescent and Semiconductive Properties of [La(C6NO2H5)3-(H2O)2]2n·(nH5O2)(nHgCl5)(2nHgCl4)·(2nH2O)

A new heterometallic 4f-5d inorganic-organic metal-isonicotinic acid complex [La(C6NO2H5)3(H2O)2]2n·(nH5O2)(nHgCl5)(2nHgCl4)·(2nH2O) 1 has been synthesized via hydro-thermal reaction and structurally characterized. Complex 1 crystallizes in the space group C2/c of monoclinic system with four formula units in a cell: α= 24.140(7), b = 20.884(7), c = 15.462(2) (A), β = 127.46(1)°,V = 6187(3) (A)3, C36H47Cl13Hg3La2N6O20, Mr = 2224.24, Dc = 2.388 g/cm3, Z = 4, T = 293(2) K, μ(MoKα) = 9.401 mm-1, F(000) = 4160 and R/wR = 0.0376/0.0636 for 4130 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)) and 5617 unique reflections. Complex 1 is characteristic of a one-dimensional polycationic chain-like structure. Photoluminescent investigation reveals that the title complex displays interesting emissions in violet and orange regions. The luminescence spectra show stronger orange emission than violet emission. Optical absorption spectra of 1 reveal the presence of a wide optical bandgap of 3.41 eV.     

Structure and bonding analysis of dimethylgallyl complexes of iron, ruthenium, and osmium [(η5-C5H5)(CO)2M(GaMe2)] and [(η5-C5H5)(Me3P)2M(GaMe2)

Density functional theory calculations have been performed for the dimethylgallyl complexes of iron, ruthenium, and osmium [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(L)(2)M(GaMe(2)] (M = Fe, Ru, Os; L = CO, PMe(3)) at the DFT/BP86/TZ2P/ZORA level of theory. The calculated geometry of the iron complex [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(CO)(2)Fe(GaMe(2))] is in excellent agreement with structurally characterized complex [(η(5)-C(5)H(5))(CO)(2)Fe(Ga(t)Bu(2))]. The Pauling bond order of the optimized structures shows that the M-Ga bonds in these complexes are nearly M-Ga single bond. Upon going from M = Fe to M = Os, the calculated M-Ga bond distance increases, while on substitution of the CO ligand by PMe(3), the calculated M-Ga bond distances decrease. The π-bonding component of the total orbital contribution is significantly smaller than that of σ-bonding. Thus, in these complexes the GaX(2) ligand behaves predominantly as a σ-donor. The contributions of the electrostatic interaction terms ΔE(elstat) are significantly smaller in all gallyl complexes than the covalent bonding ΔE(orb) term. The absolute values of the ΔE(Pauli), ΔE(int), and ΔE(elstat) contributions to the M-Ga bonds increases in both sets of complexes via the order Fe < Ru < Os. The Ga-C(CO) and Ga-P bond distances are smaller than the sum of van der Waal radii and, thus, suggest the presence of weak intermolecular Ga-C(CO) and Ga-P interactions.     

Ab initio electron correlated studies on the intracluster reaction of NO+ (H2O)(n) → H3O+ (H2O)(n-2) (HONO) (n = 4 and 5)

Hydrated nitrosonium ion clusters NO(+)(H(2)O)(n) (n = 4 and 5) were investigated by using MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory to clarify isomeric reaction pathways for formation of HONO and fully hydrated hydride ions. We found some new isomers and transition state structures in each hydration number, whose lowest activation energies of the intracluster reactions were found to be 4.1 and 3.4 kcal mol(-1) for n = 4 and n = 5, respectively. These thermodynamic properties and full quantum mechanical molecular dynamics simulation suggest that product isomers with HONO and fully hydrated hydride ions can be obtained at n = 4 and n = 5 in terms of excess hydration binding energies which can overcome these activation barriers.

A cyano-bridged heterometallic lanthanide-transition metal nitrosyl complex, [Pr(phen)₂(MeOH)(H₂O)₂][Fe(CN)₅(NO)]?·?(Phen)(DMF)(MeOH)(H₂O) (Phen?=?1,10-phenanthroline and DMF?=?dimethylformamide), has been synthesized from reaction of PrCl₃?·?6H₂O with 1,10-phenanthroline in methanol and sodium nitroprusside followed by crystallization from DMF. The crystal structure shows that the complex is a 1-D chain, stabilized by coordination, hydrogen-bonding, and π–π stacking interactions.

Synthesis, Characterization and Structure of the Dimmer Complex [Ni(TSSB)(phen)H2O]·C2H5OH·0.5H2O

The title complex [Ni(TSSB)(phen)H2O](C2H5OH(0.5H2O (C23H26N3NiO6.5S, TSSB = taurine salicylaldehyde Schiff base, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) has been synthesized by the reaction of taurine salicylaldehyde Schiff base (TSSB), 1,10-phenanthroline and nickel acetate in water-ethanol. Its single-crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P with a = 1.0562(2), b = 1.1604(2), c = 2.1170(3) nm, α = 103.257(3), β = 96.958(4), γ = 105.179(3)°, Mr = 539.24, V = 2.3917(6) nm3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.498 g/cm3, μ = 0.945 mm-1 and F(000) = 1124. The compound is a one-dimensional network, infinitely extending with hydrogen bonds. The Ni(Ⅱ) is 6-coordinated by one nitrogen and two oxygen atoms from taurine salicylaldehyde Schiff base, two nitrogen from 1,10-phenanthroline and one oxygen from water to form a distorted octahedronal coordination geometry.     

Characterization of the bis(pyridine) complex of the butyllithium-pyridine adduct, 2-Bun(C5H5N)Li·(C5H5N)2; its decomposition to 2-butylpyridine via a dihydropyridine

The complexed adduct, 2-Buⁿ(C₅H₅N)Li·(C₅H₅N)₂, (3), synthesized by reaction of BuⁿLi with a three-fold excess of pyridine, has been characterized. ¹H NMR studies on solutions of (3) of various ages and histories (thermal and photochemical) have shown that the adduct deteriorates to the hydrolysis product 2-butylpyridine (1) via 1,2-dihydro-2-butylpyridine (4).     

Coordination behavior of 1,4-diallylpiperazinium and 1-allyloxybenzotriazole toward silver(I) in the crystalline π-complexes [Ag2(C4H8N2(C3H5)2(H+)2)(H2O)2(NO3)2](NO3)2 and [Ag(C6H4N3(OC3H5)(NO3))]

Reactions of a solution of AgNO₃ in aqueous methanol with solutions of 1,4-diallylpiperazine (acidified with HNO₃ to pH = 4) and 1-allyloxybenzotriazole in ethanol gave the crystalline silver(I) π-complexes [Ag₂(C₄H₈N₂(C₃H₅)₂(H⁺)₂)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)₂](NO₃)₂ (I) and [Ag(C₆H₄N₃(OC₃H₅)(NO₃))] (II). Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystals of complexes I and II are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c; for I: a = 7.053(3)Å, b = 9.389(3)Å, c = 15.488(4)Å, β = 91.60°, V = 1025.3(6)ų, Z = 4; for II: a = 10.650(4)Å, b = 15.062(5)Å, c = 7.412(4)Å, β = 104.20(3)°, V = 1152.6(8)ų, Z = 4. In both structures, the organic components act as bidentate ligands forming with AgNO₃ 34- and 14-membered topological rings, respectively. In complex I, the nearly tetrahedral environment of the Ag(I) atom is made up of the olefinic C=C bond, the O atoms of the nitrate anions, and the water molecule. 1-Allyloxybenzotriazole in structure II causes the deformation of the coordination polyhedron of Ag into a trigonal pyramid via inclusion of the ligand N atom in its coordination sphere. The topological units of the complexes form infinite polymer layers linked by anionic NO ₃ ^? bridges. In structure I, these layers are united through a system of hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework.     

Formation and isomerization of cis,cis-Ir(H)2(--Ph)(CO)(PPh3)2 and cis,cis-Ir(H)(--Ph)2(CO)(PPh3)2 in oxidative addition of hydrogen and phenylacetylene to trans-Ir(CO)(--Ph)(PPh3)2

Oxidative addition of H–R (H--Ph and H₂) to trans-Ir(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (2) gives the initial products, cis, cis-Ir(H)(--Ph)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3a) and cis, cis-Ir(H)₂(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3b), respectively. Both cis-bis(PPh₃) complexes, 3a and 3b undergo isomerization to give the trans-bis(PPh₃) complexes, trans, trans-Ir(H)(--Ph)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (4a) and cis, trans-Ir(H)₂(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (4b). The isomerization, 3b→4b is first order with respect to 3b with k₁=6.37×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at 25°C under N₂ in CDCl₃. The reaction rate (k₁) seems independent of the concentration of H₂. A large negative entropy of activation (ΔS^≠=−24.9±5.7 cal deg⁻¹ mol⁻¹) and a relatively small enthalpy of activation (ΔH^≠=14.5±3.3 kcal mol⁻¹) were obtained in the temperature range 15∼35°C for the isomerization, 3b→4b under 1 atm of H₂.     

Synthesis and structures of the η5-C5H5Cl(CO)2W-η1,η5-(PPh2)C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)3 and MeSi[C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)2PPh3]3 complexes

The metallation of the η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ complex with BuⁿLi (THF, ?78 °C) followed by the treatment of the lithium derivative with Ph₂PCl afforded the η⁵-Ph₂PC₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ complex. The reaction of the latter with η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₃WCl in the presence of Me₃NO produced the trinuclear complex η⁵-C₅H₅Cl(CO)₂W-η¹,η⁵-(Ph₂P)C₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃. The structure of the latter complex was established by IR, UV, and 1H and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The reaction of MeSiCl₃ with three equivalents of LiC₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₂PPh₃ gave the hexanuclear complex MeSi[C₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₂PPh₃]₃.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Electrochemical Properties of the Complex Cd(α-FRA)2(Phen)(H2O)

A new cadmium complex Cd(α-FRA)2(Phen)(H2O) was synthesized by self- assembly reaction of α-furoic acid, phenanthroline (phen), and Cd(NO3)2(4H2O. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 0.6799(2), b = 1.7780(6), c = 1.6866(6) nm, β = 94.912(6)o, V = 2.0315(12) nm3, Dc = 1.742 g/cm3, Z = 4, Mr = 532.77, μ(MoKα) = 1.124 mm-1, F(000) = 1064, R = 0.0411, wR = 0.0790. The structural analysis shows that the cadmium ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from one phen molecule and four oxygen atoms respectively from two α-furoic acids and one water molecule, giving a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The cyclic voltametric behavior of the complex was also discussed, which shows that the electrode process is irreversible in the electrode reactor.     

Kinetics of Intramolecular Hydrogen Atom Transfer in the Radicals >Si(O·)(R) (R = H,D, CH3, CD3, and C2H5)

Methods are developed for obtaining oxy radicals by the photodecomposition and thermal decomposition of precursors (Si–O)₂Si(N=N–O^·)(R) and (Si–O)₂Si(O–C^·=O)(R). The mechanism of these processes is established. Kinetic data are obtained for the reaction of hydrogen atom transfer in oxy radicals (Si–O)₂Si(O^·)(R) (R = H, D, CH₃, CD₃, and C₂H₅). The activation energies of hydrogen atom transfer are found for three-, four-, and five-membered transition states: 13.5 ± 1, 18 ± 1, and <10 kcal/mol, respectively. For the reaction of H(D) atom transfer in the (Si–O)₂Si(O^·)(H(D)) radical, the kinetic isotope effect is found. Quantum-chemical calculations were used to determine the structures of transition states in the studied processes. Experimental studies were carried out using ESR spectroscopy.     

The reductive dimerization of [W(NCMe)(MeC2Me)2(η-C5H5)]+: Synthesis and X-ray structure of the novel bis(metallacyclopentadiene) complex [W2(μ-σ,σ,η2,η2-C4Me4)2(η-C5H5)2]

Treatment of [W(CO)(MeC₂Me)₂(-C₅H₅)][PF₆] with ONMe₃ in acetonitrile yields [W(NCMe)(MeC₂Me)₂(-C₅H₅)][PF₆] which undergoes irreversible reduction at a Pt electrode in THF. Sodium amalgam reduction of [W(NCMe) (MeC₂Me)₂(-C₅H₅)][PF₆] gives orange crystals of [W₂(µ-,, ², ²-C₄Me₄)₂ (-C₅H₅)₂] X-ray studies on which reveal pairwise alkyne coupling and a novel bis(metallacyclopentadiene) structure.Dedicated to Professor L. F. Dahl on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

Electron density distribution in vanadocene (η5-C5H5)2V and mixed metallocenes (η5-C5H5)M(η5-C7H7) (M = Ti,V, or Cr) and (η5-C5H5)Ti(η8-C8H8). Effect of the nature of the cyclic ligand on the character of the M--(π-ligand) bond

The electron density distribution and atomic displacements were analyzed based on the results of precision low-temperature X-ray diffraction studies of a series of isostructural (Pnma, Z = 4) mixed metallocenes (⁵-C₅H₅)M(⁵-C₇H₇) (M = Ti, V, or Cr) and (⁵-C₅H₅)Ti(⁸-C₈H₈). The barriers to rotation of the cyclic ligands were evaluated based on rms libration amplitudes. Analysis of the deformation electron density demonstrated that the character of the M--(-ligand) chemical bond depends substantially both on the nature of the metal atom and the size of the ligand. Lowering of the local symmetry of the (⁵-C₅H₅)M(⁵-C₇H₇) complexes to C_S leads to distortion of the cylindrical symmetry of the electron density distribution observed in vanadocene (⁵-C₅H₅)₂V and titanocene (⁵-C₅H₅)Ti(⁸-C₈H₈).     

Structural characterization of the trans-equatorial isomer of (aqua)(ethylenediamine-N,N,N′-tripropionato)chromium(III) trihydrate,[Cr(edtrp)(H2O)] · 3H2O

The structure of trans-equatorial [Cr(edtrp)(H₂O)] · 3H₂O (edtrp^3– is the anion of ethylenediamine-N,N,N-tripropionic acid) was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The chromium(III) ion is surrounded octahedrally by the two nitrogen and three oxygen atoms of the quinquedentate edtrp^3–, forming a five-membered diamine ring and the three six-membered -propionato chelate rings. The remaining coordination position is occupied by the H₂O ligand. The crystal structure conformation is compared to the result of recent molecular mechanics analysis. The ring strain of R and G chelate rings was found to be in agreement with the previously proposed mechanisms for the C—N bond cleavage and recombination.
