Alternativ-Liganden. XXIII. Rhodium(I)-Komplexe mit Donor/Akzeptor-Liganden des Typs (Me2PCH2CH2SiX2 und (2-Me2PC6H4)SiXMe2 (X = F,Cl)

Alternative Ligands. XXIII Rhodium(I) Complexes with Donor/Acceptor Ligands of the Type (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ and (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ (X = F, Cl) Donor/acceptor ligands of the type (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ and (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ (X = F, Cl) react with [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ (₁) to give the mononuclear complexes RhCl(CO)(Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ [X = F( 4 ), Cl ( 5 )] and RhCl(CO)[2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SixMe₂]₂ [X = F ( 8 ), Cl ( 9 )], respectively. In case of the ligands (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiCl₂ ( 3 ) and (2-Me₂PC₆H₆)SiClMe₂ ( 7 ) the Rh(I) complexes formed in the first step partly undergo oxidative addition reactions of SiCl bonds yielding rhodium(III) compounds of low solubility. Only for 8 the coordination shifts Δδ = δ(complex)?δ(ligand) and coupling constants give some indication to possible Rh→Si interactions. However, the molecular structure of 8 determined by X-ray diffraction does not show RhSi or RhF bonding contacts. The new compounds were characterized by analytical (C, H) and spectroscopic investigations (MS, IR,-NMR).     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXII. Rhodium(I)-Komplexe mit Donor/Akzeptor-Liganden des Typs Me2PCH2CH2SiXnMe3−(X = F,Cl, OMe)

Alternative Ligands. XXII. Rhodium(I) complexes with Donor/Acceptor Ligands of the Typs Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiX_nMe_3?n(X = F, Cl, OMe) Donor/acceptor ligand of the type Me₂PCH₂SiX_nMe_3?n react with [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ ( 1 ) to give the mononuclear complexes RhCl(CO)(PMe₂CH₂CH₂SiX_nMe_3?n)₂ ( 2-6 , Table 1) with planar geometry of the donor atoms, one exception being Me₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂SiCl₃, yielding the crystalline Rh^III-complex RhCl₂(CO)(PMe₂CH₂CH₂SiCl₂)(PMe₂CH₂CH₂SiCl₃) ( 7 ) by oxidative addition of one of the SiCl bonds to the Rh¹ precursor. Structures with Rh → Si interaction between the basic central atoms and the acceptor group SiX_nMe_3?n could be detected in the isolated products neither spectroscopically nor by X-ray diffraction of the two representatives RhCl(CO)(PMe₂CH₂CH₂SiF₃)₂ ( 2 ) and RhCl(CO)[PMe₂CH₂CH₂siF₃]₂ ( 2 ) and RhCl(CO) [PMe₂CH₂CH₂Si(OMe₃]₂ ( 6 ). The presence of such acid/base adducts in the reaction mixture is indicated for the more acidic acceptor groups SiX_nMe_3?n byv_co values near 1990cm^?1, (see Table 3). The complex RhCl(CO)PMe₃)(PMe₂CH₂CH₂SiF₃ ( 8 ) is obtained by the reaction of RhCl(CO)(PMe₃)₂ ( 9 ) with Me₂PCH₂SiF₃ and has been identified spectroscopically in a mixture with 2 and 9 .     

Zur Reaktion der Lewis-Base [Mn(CO)5]− mit Donor/ Akzeptor-Liganden des Typs Me2PCH2CH2SiX3 (X = F,Cl, OMe)

Alternative Ligands. XVII. Reaction of the Lewis Base [Mn(CO)₅]^? with Donor/Acceptor Ligands Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiX₃ (X = Cl, F, OMe) Reactions [eqn. (1) and (2)] for the preparation of intramolecular adducts between the base [Mn(CO)₄PMe₂R]^? and the Lewis acidic terminal group SiX₃ of the ligands Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiX₃ (X = Cl, F, OMe) have been studied. Cleavage of the MnSi bond with Cl^? [equ.(2)] in the chelate complex to form the complex salt [Ph₄As][Mn(CO)₄PMe₂ CH₂CH₂SiCl₃] proves unsuccessful because of the surprising stability of this bond. The alternative route [equ. (1)] yields the anionic species [Mn(CO)₄PMe₂CH₂CH₂SiX₃]^? in the first step, but reaction conditions favour the formation of with decreasing tendency Cl> F> OMe. The complex salts, therefore, cannot be isolated as pure compounds.     

Alternativ-Liganden. IV. Darstellung von Chelatliganden des Typs Me2XSiMe2CH2X′Me2 (Me = CH3; X,X′ = N,P und/oder As)

Preparation of Chelating Ligands of the Type Me₂XSiMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ (Me = CH₃; X, X′ = N, P and/or As) Chelating Ligands of the general type Me₂XSiMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ (Me = CH₃; X, X′ = N, P As) are obtained from ClSiMe₂CH₂Cl by the following reactions (see “Inhaltsübersicht”). The new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, MS).

The analogous reaction with SmBr₃ in THF leads to the polymeric product [(C₅Me₅)₂Sm(CH₂C₆H₅)₂ ∞ K(thf)₂]_∞ 2 , with GdBr₃ to [(C₅Me₅)Gd(CH₂C₆H₅)₂(thf)] 3 . The structures of 1–3 were determined by X-ray single crystal structure analysis:

• Space group P1 , Z = 2, a = 851.2(4) pm, b = 952.7(4) pm, c = 1858.6(8) pm, α = 79.90(4)°, β = 77.35(4)°, γ = 73.30(3)°.

Reaction of NCC₆H₄X-4 (X  Me, OMe, or Cl) with trans-[ReCl(N₂)(dppe)₂] (dppe  Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂), at room temperature, in the presence of Tl[BF₄], gives the corresponding complexes cis-[Re(NCC₆H₄X-4)₂(dppe)₂][BF₄] (1); the crystal structure of 1 (X  Me) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Zur Umsetzung von Kupfer(I)‐ und Kupfer(II)‐Salzen mit P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3 ‐ die Festkörperstrukturen von {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuOClO3}ClO4, {[P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]Cu}ClO4, [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)3]CuONO2 und [P(C6H4CH2NMe2‐2)2(C6H4CH2NMe2H+NO3‐‐2)]CuONO2

Reaction Behaviour of Copper(I) and Copper(II) Salts Towards P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ‐ the Solid‐State Structures of {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}ClO₄, {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄, [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuONO₂ and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ The reaction behaviour of P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃ ( 1 ) towards different copper(II) and copper(I) salts of the type CuX₂ ( 2a : X = BF₄, 2b : X = PF₆, 2c : X = ClO₄, 2d : X = NO₃, 2e : X = Cl, 2f : X = Br, 13 : X = O₂CMe) and CuX ( 5a : X = ClO₄, 5b : X = NO₃, 5c : X = Cl, 5d : X = Br) is discussed. Depending on X, the transition metal complexes [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃Cu]X₂ ( 3a : X = BF₄, 3b : X = PF₆), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX}X ( 4 : X = ClO₄, 11a : X = Cl, 11b : X = Br, 14 : X = O₂CMe), {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]Cu}ClO₄ ( 6 ), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuX ( 7a : X = Cl, 7b : X = Br, 10 : X = ONO₂), [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₂(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂H⁺NO₃^‐‐2)]CuONO₂ ( 9 ) and [P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuCl}CuCl₂ ( 12 ) are accessible. While in 3a , 3b and 6 the phosphane 1 preferentially acts as tetrapodale ligand, in all other species only the phosphorus atom and two of the three C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂ side‐arms are datively‐bound to the appropriate copper ion. In solution a dynamic behaviour of the latter species is observed. Due to the coordination ability of X in 3a , 3b and 6 non‐coordinating anions X^‐ are present. However, in 4 one of the two perchlorate ions forms a dative oxygen‐copper bond and the second perchlorate ion acts as counter ion to {[P(C₆H₄CH₂NMe₂‐2)₃]CuOClO₃}⁺. In 7 , 9 and 10 the fragments X (X = Cl, Br, ONO₂) form a σ‐bond with the copper(I) ion. The acetate moiety in 14 acts as chelating ligand as it could be shown by IR‐spectroscopic studies. All newly synthesised cationic and neutral copper(I) and copper(II) complexes are representing stable species. Redox processes are involved in the formation of 9 and 12 by reacting 1 with 2 . The solid‐state structures of 4 , 6 , 9 and 10 are reported. In the latter complexes the copper(II) ( 4 ) or copper(I) ion ( 6 , 9 , 10 ) possesses the coordination number 4. This is achieved by the formation of a phosphorus‐ and two nitrogen‐copper‐ ( 4 , 9 , 10 ) or three ( 6 ) nitrogen‐copper dative bonds and a coordinating ( 4 ) or σ‐binding ( 9 , 10 ) ligand X. In 6 all three nitrogen and the phosphorus atoms are coordinatively bound to copper, while X acts as non‐coordinating counter‐ion. Based on this, the respective copper ion occupies a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere. While in 4 and 10 a free, neutral Me₂NCH₂ side‐arm is present, which rapidly exchanges in solution with the coordinatively‐bound Me₂NCH₂ fragments, this unit is protonated in 10 . NO₃^‐ acts as counter ion to the CH₂NMe₂H⁺ moiety. In all structural characterized complexes 6‐membered boat‐like CuPNC₃ cycles are present.     

Alternativ-Liganden VII: Chelatkomplexe des typs (Me = CH3; X = CH3, Cl)

Chelate complexes of the type (CO)₄M iX₂ (X = Me, Cl) have been prepared from Na[Mn(CO)₅] and HMn (CO)₅, respectively, by two-step reactions with the ligands Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiX₂R′ using alkali salt, amine or HCl elimination. (CO)₄M iCl₂ is also obtained by cleavage of Mn₂(CO)₁₀ with Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiCl₃. IN the case of HMn (CO)₅ the intermediates (CO)₄Mn (H) L [L = Me₂PSiMe₃, Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiMe₂ (NMe₂), Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiCl₂ (NMe₂] can be isolated. The new compounds were identified by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, PMR, MS) methods.

New Chelating Ligands of the Type Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′Me₂ (E=P, As; E′=N, P, As) Chelating ligands of the type Me₂EsiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂, have been prepared by the following routes: Starting from Me₂Si(Vi)Cl, the compounds with E=N and E′ =N ( 1 ), P ( 2 ), As ( 3 ) are obtained in yields of 65 to 78% by aminolysis to yield Me₂NSiMe₂Vi, followed by the LiE′ Me₂ catalyzed addition of He′Me₂ to the vinyl group. The intermediates ClSiMe₂(CH₂)E′Me₂ [E′=N ( 4 ), P ( 5 ), As ( 6 )] are produced by the reactions of 1 to 3 with PhPCl₂. 5 and 6 can be prepared in a purer form by the photochemical addition of HPMe₂ and HAsMe₂, respectively, to the vinyl group of Me₂Si(Vo)Cl. 4 to 6 react with LiEMe₂, in situ prepared from n-BuLi and HEMe₂, to yield the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′Me₂ ( 7–12 ) (E=P, As; E′=N, P, As). The new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic investigations (NMR, MS).

Syntheses and Structures of fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}X₃(Me₂PhP)₂] Complexes (X = Cl, Br) The reaction of rhenium(V)-mixed-ligand complexes of the general formula [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(R₂tcb)] (HR₂tcb = N? (N,N-dialkylthiocarbamoyl)benzamidine) with HCl or HBr in acetone initializes a condensation of the solvent and results in nitrene-like compounds as a consequence of a nucleophilic attack of the coordinated nitrido ligand on the condensed acetone. The chelate ligands are removed during this reaction and complexes of the type fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}X₃(Me₂PhP)₂] (X = Cl, Br) are formed. fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}Cl₃(Me₂PhP)₂] crystallizes triclinic in the space group P1, a = 8.575(4); b = 9.088(3); c = 18.389(9) Å; α = 75.67(3)°, β = 85.30(3)°, γ = 70.58(4)°; Z = 2. A final R value of 0.031 was obtained on the basis of 6011 independent reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). Rhenium is coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment with the three chloro ligands in facial positions. The rhenium-nitrogen bond (1,68(1) Å) is only slightly longer than typical Re? N bonding distances in nitrido complexes. fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}Br₃(Me₂PhP)₂] is isomorphous with the chloro complex. Triclinic cell with a = 8.625(4); b = 9.198(3); c = 18.581(5) Å; α = 75.62(3)°, β = 85.40(3)°, γ = 70.91(3)°; Z = 2. The R value converged at 0.049 on the basis of 3644 independent reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}Cl₃(Me₂PhP)₂] as well as fac-[Re{NC(CH₃)₂CH₂C(O)CH₃}Br₃(Me₂PhP)₂] crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group P1.     

Aromaten(phosphan)metall-komplexe: X. Protonierungsreaktionen der dimethylruthenium(II)-verbindungen C6Me6Ru(CH3)2PR3 und eine metallzentrierte bildung von 2-styryldiphenylphosphan

The compounds C₆Me₆Ru(CH₃)₂PR₃ (I, II) react with HBF₄/OEt₂ in the presence of CO or C₂H₄ to give the arene(methyl)ruthenium(II) complexes [C₆Me₆RuCH₃(CO)PRh₃]BF₄ (IV) and [C₆Me₆RuCH₃(C₂H₄)PP₃]BF₄ (V, VI), respectively. The hydrido(2-styryldiphenylphosphane) complex [C₆Me₆RuH(PPh₂C₆H₄CHCH₂)]BF₄ (VII) is formed from V (R = Ph) at room temperature by elimination of CH₄ and formation of a new CC bond. The reaction of I (R = Ph) with 50% HBF₄/H₂O in propionic anhydride gives the compound [C₆Me₆Ru(OCOEt)PPh₃]BF₄ (III) in which the propionate anion is coordinated as a chelate ligand.

Treatment of a THF solution of trans-[ReCl(N₂)(dppe)₂] (dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) with NO, in the presence of Tl[BF₄], forms trans-[Re(NO)₂(dppe)₂][BF₄], a rare formal 20-electron d⁸-rhenium nitrosyl complex which, by reaction with HX (X = BF₄, Cl or HSO₄), gives trans-[ReF(NO)(dppe)₂][BF₄] (2) (the X-ray structure of which is reported) or trans-[ReX(NO)(dppe)₂]X (3, X = Cl or HSO₄), respectively, as well as nitrous oxide.

XXX Novel Tripod Ligands XM' (OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)_3?n (M' = Si, Ge; n = 0–3) for Cage Structures Attempts to prepare new tripod ligands XSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₃ [X = CF₃ ( 15 ), C₆F₅ ( 16 ), NMe₂ ( 17 ), Cl ( 18 ), F ( 19 ), H ( 20 ), OEt ( 21 ), OMe ( 22 )] prove to be unsuccessful in spite of using different pathways, because the groups X undergo following reactions giving insoluble solids (polyadducts) or form inseparable mixtures, e. g. (RO)_nSi(OCH₂PMe₂)_4?n (R = Me, Et). In many cases Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄ ( 13 ) can be isolated from the reaction mixture. The syntheses of the ligands XSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃ [X = NMe₂ ( 6 ), Cl ( 7 ), F ( 8 ), OMe ( 9 ), Vi ( 12 )], Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄ ( 13 ) und Me₃GeOCH₂PMe₂ ( 14 ) are successful. The compounds MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂NMe₂ ( 10 ) and MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂P(CF₃)₂ ( 11 ) with different donor groups are obtained in good yields. The preparative program includes the synthesis of the known representatives MeSi(OCH₂PMe₃)₃ ( 1 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂PMe₂ ( 2 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₂ ( 3 ), MeSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃ ( 4 ) and MeGe(OCH₂PMe₂)₃ ( 5 ). Important preparative steps are the substitution of M'Cl (M' = Si, Ge) by Me₂PCH₂O groups and the photochemically induced or base catalyzed addition of HNMe₂, HPMe₂ or HP(CF₃)₂ to SiVi functions. The novel compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, MS) investigations.     

Lithiation of the Tin-containing Sulfone Me3SnCH2CH2CH2SO2C6H4CH3-4

The tin-containing sulfide Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃-S-C₆H₅CH₃-4 obtained by photoaddition of 4-toluene- thiol to allyltrimethyltin was oxidized with hydrogen peroxide to synthesize the tin-containing sulfone Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃-SO₂-C₆H₄CH₃-4, the tin and sulfur atoms in which are separated by a trimethylene bribge. Treatment of the sulfone with butyllithium gave a first tin-containing lithium salt having a red-brown color. The exchange reaction of this salt with methyl iodide resulted in formation of two new isomeric tin-containing sulfones Me₃SnCH₂CH₂CH(CH₃)-SO₂-C₆H₄CH₃ and Me₃Sn(CH₂)₃-SO₂-C₆H₄CH₂CH₃ identified by ^1HNMR spectroscopy. The latter result implies that the tin-containing sulfone is lithiated both by the methylene group adjacent to the sulfonyl group and by the toluene methyl group.

The cause of this behavior is in all probability the existence of rotational isomers. Raman polarization measurements at organosubstituted silicon di- and trihydrides demonstrate the accidental degeneracy of the SiH valence vibrations.

In both compounds the PN distances correspond to double bonds, the SiN distances to single bonds.

Low-Dimensional Architectures in Isomeric cis-PtCl2{Ph2PCH2N(Ar)CH2PPh2} Complexes Using Regioselective-N(Aryl)-Group Manipulation

The solid-state behaviour of two series of isomeric, phenol-substituted, aminomethylphosphines, as the free ligands and bound to Pt^II, have been extensively studied using single crystal X-ray crystallography. In the first library, isomeric diphosphines of the type Ph₂PCH₂N(Ar)CH₂PPh₂ [1a–e; Ar = C₆H₃(Me)(OH)] and, in the second library, amide-functionalised, isomeric ligands Ph₂PCH₂N{CH₂C(O)NH(Ar)}CH₂PPh₂ [2a–e; Ar = C₆H₃(Me)(OH)], were synthesised by reaction of Ph₂PCH₂OH and the appropriate amine in CH₃OH, and isolated as colourless solids or oils in good yield. The non-methyl, substituted diphosphines Ph₂PCH₂N{CH₂C(O)NH(Ar)}CH₂PPh₂ [2f, Ar = 3-C₆H₄(OH); 2g, Ar = 4-C₆H₄(OH)] and Ph₂PCH₂N(Ar)CH₂PPh₂ [3, Ar = 3-C₆H₄(OH)] were also prepared for comparative purposes. Reactions of 1a–e, 2a–g, or 3 with PtCl₂(η⁴-cod) afforded the corresponding square-planar complexes 4a–e, 5a–g, and 6 in good to high isolated yields. All new compounds were characterised using a range of spectroscopic (¹H, ³¹P{¹H}, FT–IR) and analytical techniques. Single crystal X-ray structures have been determined for 1a, 1b∙CH₃OH, 2f∙CH₃OH, 2g, 3, 4b∙(CH₃)₂SO, 4c∙CHCl₃, 4d∙½Et₂O, 4e∙½CHCl₃∙½CH₃OH, 5a∙½Et₂O, 5b, 5c∙¼H₂O, 5d∙Et₂O, and 6∙(CH₃)₂SO. The free phenolic group in 1b∙CH₃OH, 2f∙CH₃OH_, 2g, 4b∙(CH₃)₂SO, 5a∙½Et₂O, 5c∙¼H₂O, and 6∙(CH₃)₂SO exhibits various intra- or intermolecular O–H∙∙∙X (X = O, N, P, Cl) hydrogen contacts leading to different packing arrangements.

Chelate Complexes of the Type M(CO)₄(Me₂XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂) (M) = Cr, Mo, W; X, X′ = N, P, As; Me = CH₃) The ligands (Me₂)XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ (M) = Cr, Mo, W) react with M(CO)₄norbor (norbor = Norbornadiene) (M = Cr, Mo, W) yielding the chelate complexes M(CO)₄(Me)₂XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂). compounds of low thermal stability are formed with the ligands (Me₂NGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ because of the weak donor ability of the GeNMe₂ group and with Me₂AsGeMe₂CH₂NMe₂ caused by strong steric ring tension. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (n.m.r., i.r., m.s.) investigations.

The Crystal Structures of [MgBr_1,25I_0,75(Me₃SiNPMe₃)(OEt₂)], [MgI₂(Me₃SiNPMe₃)₂], [Mg₂I₂(Me₃SiNPMe₂CH₂)(Me₃SiNPMe₂CH₂CH(Me)O)(OEt₂)], and [MgBr(NPMe₃)]₄ · C₇H₈ By reactions of the silylated phosphaneimine Me₃SiNPMe₃ with the Grignard reagents EtMgBr and MeMgI, respectively, the carbanionic phosphoraneiminato derivatives [XMg(CH₂PMe₂NSiMe₃)]_n (X ? Br, I) can be isolated as main products. The by-products of these reactions, [MgBr_1.25I_0.75(Me₃SiNPMe₃)(OEt₂)], [MgI₂(Me₃SiNPMe₃)₂] and [Mg₂I₂(CH₂PMe₂NSiMe₃)(O(Me)CHCH₂PMe₂NSiMe₃)(OEt₂)] were identified by crystal structure determinations. The phosphoraneiminato complex [MgBr(NPMe₃)]₄ · C₇H₈ with hetero cubane structure is formed by a metathesis reaction of [ZnBr(NPMe₃)]₄ with RMgBr (R ? Ph. Mes).
