Synthese und Struktur von Komplexen mit Nitridobrücken zwischen Rhenium und Zink

Synthesis and Structure of Complexes with Nitrido Bridges between Rhenium and Zinc The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMePh)₃] with ZnX₂ (X = Cl, Br) in CH₂Cl₂ yields the tetranuclear complexes [(Me₂PhP)₃X₂Re≡N–ZnX₂]₂. In case of the reaction with ZnBr₂ an exchange of the halogen atoms coordinated to the Re atom occurs. [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N–ZnCl₂]₂ ( 1 ) crystallizes with one centrosymmetric tetranuclear complex in the triclinic unit cell. [(Me₂PhP)₃Br₂Re≡N–ZnBr₂]₂ ( 2 ) forms triclinic crystals with the composition 2 · 2 CH₂Cl₂. The centrosymmetric tetranuclear complexes exhibit analogous structures. Two complexes [ReNX₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] coordinate with the terminal nitrido ligands the Zn atoms of a central unit XZn(μ-X)₂ZnX. The resulting linear nitrido bridges Re≡N–Zn (Re–N–Zn = 178.4° ( 1 ) und 178.0° ( 2 )) are asymmetric with distances Re–N = 170 pm and Zn–N = 199 pm for 1 , and Re–N = 167 pm as well as Zn–N = 201 pm for 2 . The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with ZnI₂ in CH₂Cl₂ presumably first affords [(Me₂PhP)₃ClIRe≡N–ZnI₂]₂, which, however, in the course of crystallization decomposes to yield [(Me₂PhP)₃ClIRe≡N–ZnI₂(OPMe₂Ph)] ( 3 ). Of the two Cl atoms originally coordinated at the Re atom the one in cis position to the nitrido ligand is substituted by iodine. 3 forms monoclinic crystals with the space group P2₁/n. The distances in the linear nitrido bridge (Re–N–Zn = 171.5°) are Re–N = 167.9 pm and Zn–N = 204.9 pm. By the reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with ZnX₂ (X = Cl, I) in THF the dinuclear complexes [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N–ZnCl₂(THF)] ( 4 ) and [(Me₂PhP)₃ClIRe≡N–ZnI₂(THF)] ( 5 ) are obtained. They crystallize isotypically as 4 · THF or 5 · THF in the triclinic space group P1. Their nitrido bridges have the following parameters: Re–N–Zn = 175.2°, Re–N = 167.7 pm, and Zn–N = 202.1 pm for 4 , resp. Re–N–Zn = 174.7°, Re–N = 168.3 pm, and Zn–N = 201.2 pm for 5 .

The structures of four compounds with building blocks containing these ligands are reported: In [BaCr₂(bipy)₂(1, 2‐dtox)₄(H₂O)₂] Barium ions and pairs of Cr(bipy)(1, 2‐dtox)₂ complexes form linear chains by the bisbidentate coordination of the dithiooxalate ligands towards Ba²⁺ and Cr³⁺.

In [Ni(cyclam)Mn(1, 2‐dtsq)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O the 1, 2‐dithiosquarato ligand shows a rare example of S‐coordination towards manganese(II). The sulfur atoms of cis‐MnO₂S₄‐polyedra are weakly coordinated towards the axial sites of square‐planar NiN₄‐centers, thus forming a zig‐zag‐chain of Mn···Ni···Mn···Ni polyhedra.
