Komplexchemie P-reicher Phosphane und Silylphosphane. VII. Carbonylkomplexe des Heptaphosphans(3) iPr2(Me3Si)P7

Transition Metal Complexes of P-rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. VII Carbonyl Complexes of the Heptaphosphane(3) iPr₂(Me₃Si)P₇ From the reaction of iPr₂(Me₃Si)P₇ 1 with one equivalent of Cr(CO)₅THF the yellow products iPr₂(H)P₇[Cr(CO)₅] 2 and iPr₂(Me₃Si)P₇[Cr(CO)₅] 3 were isolated by column chromatography on silicagel. The P? H group in 2 results from a cleavage of the P? SiMe₃ bond during chromatography. The Cr(CO)₅ group in 2 is linked to an iPr? P^e atom, in 3 to the Me₃Si? P^e atom of the P₇ skeleton. The substituents do not force the formation of a single isomer; nevertheless 3 ist considerably favoured as compared to 2 . From the reaction of 1 with 2 equivalents of Cr(CO)₅THF the yellow iPr₂(H)P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ 4 was isolated bearing one Cr(CO)₅ group at an iPr? P^e atom, the other one at a P^b atom of the P₇ skeleton. Compound 3 yields with Cr(CO)₄NBD the red iPr₂(Me₃Si)P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄] 5 . Three isomers of 5 appear. Two P^e atoms of 5 are bridged by the Cr(CO)₄ group, the third P^e atom is linked to the Cr(CO)₅ ligand. iPr₂(H)P₇[Fe(CO)₄] was isolated from the reaction of 1 with Fe₂(CO)₉. ³¹P NMR and MS data are reported.

Formation and Structures of Chromium Carbonyl Complexes of Tris(trimethylsily)heptanortricyclane (Me₃Si)₃P₇ (Me₃Si)₃P₇ 1 reacts with one equivalent of Cr(Co)₅THF 2 to give the yellow (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(Co)₅] 4. The Cr(Co)₅group is attached to a P^e atom. Yellow (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ 5 is obtained either from reacting 1 with two equivalents of 2 , or from 4 with one equivalent of 2. One Cr(CO)₅ groups in 5 is coordinated to a P^e atom, the other one to a P,^b atom. Similarly, Yellow (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₃ 6 results from reacting 5 with one equivalent of 2 . Two Cr(CO)₅ groups in 6 are linked to P^b atoms, and the third one either to a P^e or the P^a atom (assignment not completely clear). Derivatives containing a P^e bridge appear in reactions of 1 with higher amounts of 2 . Such, 5 forms mixtures of the red compounds (Me₃Si)₃P₇ × [Cr(CO)₅]₂[Cr(CO)₄] 8 and (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅] × [Cr(CO)₄] 9 , and even preferably 9 with four equivalents of 2 . In 8 , one Cr(CO)₅ group is attached to that p^e atom which is not engaged in the Cr(CO)₄ bridge, and the second to one of the P^b atoms directly adjacent to the bridge. The additional Cr(CO)₅ group in 9 is coordinated to the remaining P^b atom directly adjacent to the bridge. In reactions of 5 with even higher amounts of 2 , four Cr(CO)₅ groups and one Cr(CO)₄ bridge attach to the basic P₇ skeleton to from the less stable Me₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₄[Cr(CO)₄]. (Me₃Si)₃P₇ 1 reacts considerably slower with Cr(CO)₅THF 2 than R₃P₇ (R = Et, iPr). Cr(CO)₄NBD 3 reacts with 1 , but it was not possible to isolate (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₄]. However, 4 with 3 forms (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄] 7 , and 5 with 3 yields (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂[Cr(CO)₄] 8 . The structures of 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 or 9 are quite analogous to those of the derivatives of Et₃P₇ but there exist significant differences in stability and reactivity. While Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ in solution rearranges to give the stable Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄], the analogous (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄] 7 is not stable and is not obtained from (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ 5 . Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)5]₃ can just be detected spectroscopically and rearranges easily to give Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ [Cr(CO)₄] whereas (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₃ 6 can be isolated. These differences are caused by the greater steric requirements of Me₃Si groups. The formation of a P^e–Cr(CO)₄–P^e bridge, e.g., requires a Me₃Si group in 1 to switch from the s to the as position. Whereas many of the complex compounds of R₃P₇ (R = Et, iPr) crystallize easily, the analogous derivatives of (Me₃Si)₃P₇ did not yield crystals. The structures of the products were assigned by evaluating the coordination shift in their ₃₁P NMR spectra and by comparision of these spectra with those of such derivatives of Et₃P₇ which previously had been investigated by single crystal structure determinations.

(t-Bu₂Sb)₃P₇ 2 produced similarly from t-Bu₂SbCl and Li₃P₇ · 3 DME didn't form crystals; it decomposes in a solution of toluene above ?10°C. Both compounds were identified by their ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectra, and 1 also by elemental analysis and single crystal structure determination (space group) P2₁/a, a = 1 712.0(9) pm, b = 1 105.1(7) pm, c = 1 854.0(10) pm, β = 94.96(4)°, Z = 4 formula units in the elementary cell). Attempts to synthesize (Me₂P)₃P₇ 3 , (F₂P)₃P₇ 4 and [(F₃C)₂P]₃P₇ 5 failed as dialkylchlorophosphanes as Me₂PCl e. g. with Li₃P₇ · 3 DME react under Li/Cl exchange, dialkylfluorophosphanes (except t-Bu₂PF) disproportionate, and neither PF₃ nor (F₃C)₂PBr with Li₃P₇ · 3 DME give the desired products 4 or 5 , resp.

Transition Metal Complexes of P-rich Phosphanes and Silyphosphanes. III. Complex Compounds (t-Bu)₃P₉ · Cr(CO)₅ and (t-Bu)₃P₉ · 2 Cr(CO)₅ Derived from Nonaphosphane (3) (t-Bu)₃P₉ The reaction of (t-Bu)₃P₉ 1 with Cr(CO)₅ · THF in a molar ratio of 1:1 yields (t-Bu)₃P₉ · Cr(CO)₅ 2 (yellow crystals) with the Cr(CO)₅ group coordinated to an equatorial P atom of the P₉ skeleton. In the reaction of 1 with 2 moles of Cr(CO)₅ · THF the complex product (t-Bu)₃P₉ · 2 Cr(CO)₅ 3 is formed with the second Cr(CO)₅ group linked to a basal P atom. Evidence for this comes from ³¹P NMR spectra as well as from crystal structure determinations of 2 and 3.2 crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with a = 1012,9(2) pm, b = 2961,9(4) pm, c = 983,2(2) pm, β = 101,41(2)° and Z = 4 formula units. 3 crystallizes on the space group Pbcn with a = 2675,8(8) pm, b = 1222,4(2)pm, c = 2212,3 pm and Z = 8. In 2 and 3 the equatorial P atoms opposite to the P₂ dumbbell are complexed. The further complexation in 3 takes place at a basal P atom in Z-arrangement. The distances d(P Cr) are 243.5(1) pm and 240.5(1) pm and 240.5(1) pm for the equatorial P atoms in bf 2 and 3, respectively. For the basal P atom is 3 the distance in 235.7 pm. The P P distance range from 217.5 to 223.0 pm with the shorter ones at the bridgehead atom and the longer one at the P₂ dumbbell. The structures are discussed with that of the free ligand.

The structure of 1 was derived from the investigation of the ³¹P-NMR spectra and confirmed by a single crystal structure determination. 1 crystallizes in the space group P1 (no. 2); a = 1307.8(5)pm, b = 1373.1(5)pm, c = 1236.1(4)pm, α = 106.22(4)°, β = 88.00(3)°, γ = 115.52(4)° and Z = 1. 1 forms a salt composed of a dianion R₂R₄′P₄^2? (R ? SiMe₃, R′ ? Cr(CO)₅) and solvated Li⁺ cations. The zigzag shaped dianion possesses the symmetry 1 -C_i. The distances d(P? P) = 202.5(1)pm and d(P? P) = 221.9(1)pm correspond to a double bond and single bonds, respectively. The distances d(Cr? P) = 251.1(1) pm and 255.3(1) pm are larger than those observed so far which might be caused by the charge distribution in the dianion.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Structure of P₇(t-Bu₃Si)₃ (?Tris(supersilyl)heptaphosphane(3)”? Tris(tri-tert-butylsilyl)heptaphosphanortricyclane P₇(t-Bu₃Si)₃ 1 is obtained from the reaction of (t-Bu)₃Si? Si(t-Bu)₃ with white phosphorus and forms colorless to pale yellow thermostable crystals. 1 is identified by the complete analysis of its ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectrum (A[MX]₃ spin system) as well as by a single crystal structure determination (space group Pca2₁, a = 170.76(2)pm, b = 131.14(3)pm, c = 426.61(5)pm, α = β = γ= 90°, Z = 8 formula units in the elementary cell). The steric demand of the (t-Bu)₃Si-Groups causes an increase of the exocyclic bond angles at the equatorial phosphorus atoms P^e, while it does not particularly influence the P₇-skeleton. Chlorine (r.t.) and bromine (70°C) degrade the P₇-cage of 1 with formation of PX₃ and (t-Bu)₃SiX (X = Cl, Br).

Bildung und struktur der Cyclophosphane P4(CMe3)2[P(CMe3)2]2 und P4(SiMe3)2[P(CMe3)2]2

Formation and Structure of the Cyclophosphanes P₄(CMe₃)₂[P(CMe₃)₂]₂ and P₄(SiMe₃)₂[P(CMe₃)₂]₂ n-Triphosphanes showing a SiMe₃ and a Cl substituent at the atoms P¹ and P², like (Me₃C)₂P? P(SiMe₃)? P(CMe₃)Cl 3 or (Me₃C)₂P? P(Cl)? P(SiMe₃)₂ 4 are stable only at temperatures below ?30°C. Above this temperature these compounds lose Me₃SiCl, thus forming cyclotetraphosphanes, P₄(CMe₃)₂[P(CMe₃)₂]₂ 1 out of 3 , P₄(SiMe₃)₂[P(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 2a (cis) and 2b (trans) out of 4 . The formation of 1 proceeds via (Me₃C)₂P? P?PCMe₃ 5 as intermediate compound, which after addition to cyclopentadiene to give the Diels-Alder-adduct 6 (exo and endo isomers) was isolated. 6 generates 5 , which then forms the dimer compound 1 . Likewise (Me₃C)₂P? P?P-SiMe₃ 8 (as proven by the adduct 7 ) is formed out of 4 , leading to 2a (cis) and 2b (trans). Compound 1 is also formed out of the iso-tetraphosphane P[P(CMe₃)₂]₂[P(CMe₃)Cl] 9 , which loses P(CMe₃)₂Cl when warmed to a temperature of 20°C. 1 crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P2₁/a (no. 14); a = 1762.0(15) pm; b = 1687.2(18) pm; c = 1170.5(9) pm; β = 109.18(5)° and Z = 4 formula units in the elementary cell. The molecule possesses E conformation. The central four-membered ring is puckered (approx. symmetry 4 2m; dihedral angle 47.4°), thus bringing the substituents into a quasi equatorial position and the nonbonding electron pairs into a quasi axial position. The bond lengths in the four-membered ring of 1 (d (P? P) = 222.9 pm) are only slightly longer than the exocyclic bonds (221.8 pm). The endocyclic bond angles \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \bar \beta $\end{document}(P/P/P) are 85.0°, the torsion angles are ±33° and d (P? C) = 189.7 pm.

The Au₅Mo center of cluster 1 forms a capped trigonal bipyramid with the Mo atom in equatorial position and almost equal Mo? Au distances between 279.9(5) and 284.6(7) pm to all five Au atoms.

It can be degraded with C1^? to the neutral cluster (Ph₃PAu)₃Co(CO)₃ (2). 2 forms air stable, yellow crystals with the space group P2₁/n and a = 1359.4(4), b = 2041.0(5), c = 1853.2(6)pm, β = 91.47(1)°, Z = 4.

The reaction is accompanied by the formation of the dark blue side‐product (Ph₄P)₂[VOCl(μ‐N₃)(N₃)₂]₂ ( 2a ), which can be obtained as the main product by application of a large excess of Me₃SiN₃. Dark blue needles of 2a crystallize spontaneously from the CH₂Cl₂ solution within one hour at 4 °C. After standing at 4 °C under its mother liquid within 24 hours a first‐order phase transition of 2a occurs forming dark blue prismatic single crystals of 2b .

Synthese und Struktur von Ammin- und Amidokomplexen des Iridiums

Synthesis and Structure of Ammine and Amido Complexes of Iridium The reaction of (NH₄)₂[IrCl₆] with NH₄Cl at 300 °C in a sealed glass ampoule yields the iridium(III) ammine complex (NH₄)₂[Ir(NH₃)Cl₅], which crystallizes isotypically with K₂[Ir(NH₃)Cl₅] in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with Z = 4, and a = 1350.0(2); b = 1028.5(3); c = 689.6(2) pm. The reaction of (NH₄)₂[IrCl₆] with NH₃ at 300 °C, however, gives the already known [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ beside a small amount of [Ir(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Cl₂. In pure form [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ is obtained by ammonolysis of (NH₄)₂[Ir(NH₃)Cl₅] at 300 °C with NH₃. [Ir(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Cl₂ crystallizes triclinic (P1, Z = 1, a = 660,2(3); b = 680,4(3); c = 711,1(2) pm; α = 103,85(2)°, β = 114,54(3)°, γ = 112,75(2)°). The structure contains Cl^– anions and [Ir(NH₃)₄Cl₂]²⁺ cations with a trans position of the Cl atoms. Upon reaction of [Ir(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ with Cl₂ one ammine ligand is eliminated yielding [Ir(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Cl, which is transformed to orthorhombic [Ir(NH₃)₄(OH₂)Cl]Cl₂ (Pnma, Z = 4, a = 1335,1(3); b = 1047,9(2); c = 673,4(2) pm) by crystallization from water. In the octahedral complex [Ir(NH₃)₄(OH₂)Cl]²⁺ the four ammine ligands have an equatorial position, whereas the Cl atom and the aqua ligand are arranged axial. Oxidation of (NH₄)₂[Ir(NH₃)Cl₅] with Cl₂ at 330 °C affords the tetragonal Ir^IV complex (NH₄)[Ir(NH₃)Cl₅] (P4nc, Z = 2, a = 702.68(5); c = 912.89(9) pm). Its structure was determined using the powder diagram. Oxidation of (NH₄)₂[Ir(NH₃)Cl₅] with Br₂ in water, on the other hand, gives (NH₄)₂[IrBr₆] crystallizing in the K₂[PtCl₆] type. Oxidation of (PPh₄)₂[Ir(NH₃)Cl₅] with PhI(OAc)₂ in CH₂Cl₂ affords the Ir^V amido complex (PPh₄)[Ir(NH₂)Cl₅].
