This was confirmed by an X-ray diffraction study on [FeW{μ-PPh₂ · CH · CH₂ · C(C₆H₄Me-4)}(CO)₅(η⁵-C₅Me₅)].

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, Characterization and Crystal Structure of [Co2Mo2(μ4-C2HPh)(μ-CO)4(CO)4(η5-C5H4C(O)Me)2]

The reaction of μ-alkyne-bridged dimolybdenum compound [Mo2(μ-C2HPh)(CO)4(η5-C5H4C(O)Me)2] 1 with Co2(CO)8 in refluxing toluene gave a new butterfly compound [Co2Mo2(μ4-C2HPh)(μ-CO)4(CO)4(η5-C5H4C(O)Me)2] 2 which was fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and X-ray single crystal diffraction techniques. 2 crystallized in monoclinic system, C30H20Co2Mo2O10, Mr=850.23, space group P21/a(#14), a=14.165(5), b=12.498(2), c=16.204(2)(A), β = 96.50(2)°, V = 2850(1)(A)3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.981 g cm-3, F(000)=1672, μ(MoKα)=20.41 cm-1, final R=0.030, Rw=0.039 for 4831 observable reflections with I>2σ(I).

The molecular structure of 8 has been determined by single crystal X-ray studies. The reaction of 5 with 4-methylquinoline in refluxing cyclohexane afforded 8 and two known dinuclear compounds, [Ru₂(CO)₆{μ-CH₂P(C₆H₅)(C₆H₄)P(C₆H₅}] 10 and [Ru₂(CO)₆ {μ-(C₆H₄)P(C₆H₅)(CH₂)P(C₆H₅}] 11, in 40, 12, and 10% yields, respectively. The compounds 10 and 11 are also formed from the thermolysis of 4 in addition to the major compound 5.

The direction of addition is such that the =C(CN)(X) group becomes attached to the α-carbon of the acetylide. This is confirmed by the X-ray structure of Ru{C[C(CN)₂]CPhCH(C₆H₄NO₂-4)}(dppe)(η-C₅H₅) · 0.5CH₂Cl₂, cr with cell dimensions a 28.81(1), b 9.661(2), c 30.782(8) Å, β 95.02 (3)°, and Z = 8.

The cleavage of a coordinated SCNR group in [Fe(CO)2L2(η2-SCNR)] by [Co(η-C5H5)(PPh3)2] to give complexes containing μ3-CNR ligand. The preparation and structure of [{Co(η-C5H5)}2{Fe(CO)2(PPh3)}(μ3-S){μ3-CNC(O)C6H5}]

The reaction of [Fe(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂{η²-SCNC(O)Ph}] with [Co(η-C₅H₅)(PPh₃)₂] in benzene solution at room temperature results in the facile cleavage of the CS bond of the SCNC(O)Ph ligand to give [{Co(η-C₅H₅)}₂{Fe(CO)₂(PPh₃)}(μ₃-S{μ₃-CNC(O)Ph}], whereas [Fe(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂(η²-SCNMe)] gives [{Co(η-C₅H₅)} ₂₂{Fe(CO)(CNMe)(PPh₃)(μ₃-S)(μ₃-CO)]. The structure of [{Co(η-C₅H₅)}₂{Fe(CO)₂(PPh₃)} (μ₃-CNC(O)Ph}] has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction.     

Regiospecific substitution of carbonyl by phosphine ligands in hydrocarbyl-substituted carbonyl clusters. Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of Fe3(CO)8(PPh3)(μ3-η2- ⊥ -EtC2Et) and (η5-C5H5)NiFe2(CO)5(PPh3)(η3-η2- ⊥-C2But)

The complexes Fe₃(CO)₈(PPh₃)(μ₃-η²- ⊥ -EtC₂Et) and (η⁵-C₅H₅)NiFe₂(CO)₅(PPh₃)(η₃-η²- ⊥-C₂Bu^t) have been obtained by treating Fe₃(CO)₉(C₂Et₂) or (Cp)NiFe₂(CO)₆(C₂Bu^t) with PPh₃ under mild conditions; the substituted clustes have been characterized spectroscopically. Structures are proposed in which the phosphine is on the unique metalatom σ-bonded to the alkyne or acetylide moiety. Replacement of CO by PPh₃ ligands rather than by addition, is observed for the formally unsaturated Fe₃(CO)₉(C₂Et₂). Reorientation of the acetylide was expected for (Cp)NiFe₂(CO)₆(C₂Bu^t) upon substitution, but was not observed.     

Triphospha-Ferrocenes as Ligands. Crystal Structures of [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2 TBu2P3)M(CO)5)], (M= Cr,MO, W) and the Novel ruthenium and Nickel Complexes [Fe(η5-C5Me5) (η5-C2 TBu2P3)Ru3(CO)9] and [Fe(η5-C5Me5)(η5-C2 tBu2P3)Ni(Co)2]2

Abstract

Syntheses and structures of penta- and hexaphosphorus analogues of ferrocene have been described recently¹. Unlike their simple ferrocene analogues, these complexes have further ligating potential towards other transition metal centres by virtue of the availability of the ring phosphorus lone-pair electrons that are not involved in the η⁵-coordination. We now describe the first examples of coordination compounds of the triphospha-ferrocene [Fe(η⁵-C₅Me₅) (η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃]. In the ruthenium complex [Fe(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃) Ru₃(CO)₉] ² two adjacent phosphorus atoms of the η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃ ring are interlinked by a ruthenium carbonyl cluster in which all three ruthenium atoms interact with the phosphorus atoms. The tetrametallic nickel complex [Fe(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₂ ^tBu₂P₃)Ni(CO)₂]₂ ³ represents the first example of intermolecular interlinkage of two phospha-ferrocene systems by two metal centres.     

Preparation and crystal structures of [μ-SbPh2]2[Mo(CO)2(η5-C5H5)]2·CHCl3 and SbPh[Fe(CO)2(η5-C5H5)]2

Antimony is reduced when [SbPh₂BrO]₂ is treated with Na[Mo(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₅)] to produce [μ-SbPh₂]₂[Mo(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)]₂. A structure determination shows diphenylstibido groups bridging between two Mo(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅) moieties giving a central ‘butterfly’ shaped Sb₂Mo₂ ring. The cyclopentadiene rings are trans to each other and Mo–Sb and Sb–Sb separations are both short. An iron analogue could not be obtained from [SbPh₂BrO]₂ and Na[Fe(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)] but a mixture of SbPh[Fe(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)]₂ and SbPh₂[Fe(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)] was obtained using SbPh₂Cl. An X-ray structure for SbPh[Fe(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)]₂ shows an open stibinidine structure.     

Coordination-unsaturated complexes of tris(cyclopentadienyl)samarium: Solvate (η5-C5H5)3Sm·OC4H8 and ionic salt [Li(Et2O)2][η5-C5H5)3Sm(μ-Cl)Sm(η5-C5H5)3]

X-ray structural analysis of a samarium triscyclopentadienyl complex, Cp₃Sm·OC₄H₈ (1), and a samarium ionic salt, [Li(Et₂O)₂][Cp₃Sm(-Cl)SmCp₃] (2), was carried out. In both compounds coordination saturation is achieved by coordination of the THF molecule (in1) or the Cl^– anion (in2) to the monomeric fragment Cp₃Sm. An unusual coordination of the Li⁺ cation was observed in complex2: it is bound to one of the ⁵-type cyclopentadienyl rings in addition to two ether molecules.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Electron transfer in organometallic clusters: XIV. Crystal and electronic structures of the tricobalt carbon cluster (η5-C5H5)Fe[η5-C5H4-CCo3(CO)9] and the biscarbyne cluster (η5-C5H5)Fe[η5-C5H4CCo3(η5-C5H5)3CH]

The crystal and molecular structures of (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe[η⁵--C₅H₄CCo₃(CO)₉] (1), Pna2₁, α 17.354, b 11.463, c 11.207 Å Z = 4, R = 0.053, R_w = 0.056 for 939 reflections (I>3σ(I)) at 293 K, and (η⁵-C₅H₅Fe[η⁵--C₅H₄CCo₃(η⁵C₅H₅)₃CH] (2), P2₁/n, a 13.807(9), b 11.254(4), c 13.991(9) Å, β 99.98(5)°, Z = 4, R = 0.033 and R_w = 0.033 for 3051 observed reflections (I>3σ(I)) at 180 K, have been determined by X-ray methods.The results provide a detailed characterisation of related tricobalt-carbon complexes directly bound to ferrocene residues. In 1 the ferrocenyl moiety tops the pyramidal CCo₃ cluster core, while in 2 the CCo₃C core is bipyramidal with a ferrocenyl substituent on one capping carbon atom and a hydrogen atom at the other. In both cases the ferrocenyl group is tilted towards one cobalt atom of the cluster core, a distortion believed to be the consequence of the non-degeneracy of the carbyne p(π) orbitals resulting from a cooperative π-interaction between the clusters and the ferrocenyl substituents.     

X-ray structure of Fe{C(CF3)2(OH)}(CO)2(η-C5H5), a complex containing a substituted hydroxymethyl ligand

An X-ray structure determination on Fe{C(CF₃)₂(OH)}(CO)₂(η-C₅H₅), obtained by protonating the product from Na[Fe(CO)₂(η-C₅H₅)] and (CF₃)₂CO, showed the crystal to contain discrete molecules. There are substantial intramolecular OH…FCF₂ bonds but only weak intermolecular OH…O interactions. Important distances are: FeC 2.060(6), CCF₃ 1.505(9), COH 1.435(7), CF…HO 2.131(6), 2.485(6) Å.     

Synthese und kristallstrukturuntersuchung von bis[dicarbonyl(μ-trifluormethylisocyanid)-(η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)molybdän)], [Mo(CO)2(μ-CNCF3)(η-Cp)]2 und dessen isomerisierung zu Cp(CO)2Mo(μ-F3CNCCNCF3)Mo(CO)2Cp

Trifluoromethyl isocyanide adds to the metal—metal triple bond of bis[dicarbonyl(η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)molybdenum] forming Mo₂Cp₂(CO)₄(η²-μ-CNCF₃) as the first isolated product. Further addition of trifluoromethyl isocyanide at 0°C leads to the formation of [Mo(CO)₂(μ-CNCF₃)(η-Cp)]₂, which according to crystal structure analysis contains two bridging CF₃NC ligands. During the isomerization of this compound in dichloromethane solution at room temperature or in the solid state above 110°C molybdenum—molybdenum bond cleavage and carbon—carbon bond formation occurs, leading to Cp(CO)₂Mo(μ-F₃CNCCNCF₃)Mo(CO)₂Cp, which contains 1,1,1,6,6,6-hexafluoro-2,5-diaza-2,3,4-hexatriene as bridging ligand.

Thermolysis of cyclooctaselenadiazole (2) yields only selenium-containing products. Compound 2 reacts with CpCo sources to give [(η⁵-C₅H₅)CO]₂(μ₂η³,η²-C₈H₆Se), a fluxional compound whose structure has been determined by X-Ray crystallography.     

Further studies of the reactions of PtRu5(μ6-C)(CO)16 with alkynes: The preparation and structural characterizations of PtRu5(CO)13(μ-EtC2Et)(μ3-EtC2Et)(μ5-C) and Pt2Ru6(CO)17(μ-η5-Et4C5)(μ3-EtC2Et) (μ6-C)

The reaction of PtRu₅(CO)₁₆(μ₆-C),1 with 3-hexyne in the presence of UV irradiation produced two new electron-rich platinum-ruthenium cluster complexes PtRu₅(CO)₁₃(μ-EtC₂Et)(μ₃-EtC₂Et)(μ₅-C),2 (20% yield) and Pt₂Ru₆(CO)₁₇(μ-η⁵-Et₄C₅)(μ₃-EtC₂Et) (μ₆-C),3 (7% yield). Both compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Compound2 contains of a platinum capped square pyramidal cluster of five ruthenium atoms with the carbido ligand located in the center of the square pyramid. A EtC₂Et ligand bridges one of the PtRu₂ triangles and the Ru-Pt bond between the apical ruthenium atom and the platinum cap. The structure of compound3 consists of an octahedral PtRu₅ cluster with an interstitial carbido ligand and a platinum atom capping one of the PtRu₂ triangles. There is an additional Ru(CO)₂ group extending from the platinum atom in the PtRu₅ cluster that contains a metallated tetraethylcyclopentadienyl ligand that bridges to the platinum capping group. There is also a EtC₂Et ligand bridging one of the PtRu₂ triangular faces to the capping platinum atom. Compounds2 and3 both contain two valence electrons more than the number predicted by conventional electron counting theories, and both also possess unusually long metal-metal bonds that may be related to these anomalous electron configurations.

The Thermolysis of [Ru3(CO)12] in Cyclohexene: Synthesis and Charaterisation of the New Clusters [Ru3H2(CO)9(μ3-η1:η2:η1-C6H8)] and [Ru5(CO)12(μ4-η2-C6H8)(η4-C6H8)]

Thermolysis of [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] in cyclohexene for 24 h affords the complexes [Ru(CO)₃(η⁴-C₆H₈)] (1), [Ru₃H₂(CO)₉(μ₂-η¹:η²:η¹-C₆H₈)] (2), [Ru₄(CO)₁₂(μ₄-C₆H₈)] (3) [Ru₄(CO)₉(μ₄-C₆H₈)(η⁶-C₆H₆)] (4a and 4b, two isomers) and [Ru₅(CO)₁₂(μ₄-η²-C₆H₈)(η⁴-C₆H₈)] (5), where 1, 3, 4a and 4b have been previously characterised as products of the thermolysis of [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with cyclohexa-1,3-diene. The molecular structures of the new clusters 2 and 5 were determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, showing that two conformational polymorphs of 5 exist in the solid state, differing in the orientation of the cyclohexa-1,3-diene ligand on a ruthenium vertex.     

新型富勒烯C60有机钴配合物(η2-C60)(η5-RC5H4)CoPPh3 (R=H,CO2Et)的合成及性质研究

鉴于富勒烯C₆₀所具有的缺电子烯烃的特性¹以及CpCo(PPh₃)₂可与烯或炔反应生成钴杂环有机化合物,^2,3 因此我们设想如果用C₆₀代替烯、炔,令其与η⁵-RC₅H₄Co(PPh₃)₂(1) 或η⁵-RC₅H₄Co(PPh₃)(PhC≡CPh)(2)反应,则应得到一类新型的富勒烯C₆₀有机钴杂环化合物。然而与这一设想不同的是,上述反应并未得到预期的C₆₀钴杂环有机物,所得到的却是另一类新型的有机钴C₆₀衍生物(η²-C₆₀)(η⁵-RC₅H₄)CoPPh₃(3).此外,我们发现当3或2同I₂反应时,可生成C₆₀或PhC≡CPh配体被I₂置换产物η⁵-RC₅H₄Co(PPh₃)I₂(4)。
