Electrochemistry and UV/visible spectroscopy of phosphino-substituted bis(η-indenyl)iron(II) complexes

Six phosphino-functionalized diindenyl ferrocenes have been characterized by UV/vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry in dichloromethane. The complexes contain the following ligands: 1-diphenylphosphino- (1), 1-diphenylphosphino-2-methyl- (2), 1-diphenylphosphino-3-methyl- (3), 1-diphenylphosphino-3-trimethylsilyl- (4), 1-diphenylphosphino-2,3-dimethyl- (5), and 1-diphenylphosphino-4,7-dimethyl-indenide (6). The cyclic voltammetry shows an approximately additive relationship between oxidation potential and the type of substituent and its ring position, but with increasing substitution leading to lower than otherwise expected oxidation potentials. The UV/vis spectra show two absorptions with the low energy band moving to lower energy with increasing substitution on the C₅ ring.     

Synthesis and reactions of dicarbonyl (η2-indene)-η5-indenyl complexes of manganese and rhenium

Photochemical reactions of M(CO)₃(⁵-C₉H₇), where M=Mn (1) or Re (2), with indene have produced ²-indene complexes M(CO)₂(²-C₉H₈)(⁵-C₉H₇), where M=Mn (3) or Re (4). Deprotonation of complex3 witht-BuOK in THF at –60 °C gives the anion [Mn(CO)₂(¹-C₉H₇)(⁵-C₉H₇)^– (5), in which there occurs a rapid interchange of the Mn(CO)₂(⁵-C₉H₇) group between positions 1 and 3 in the ¹-indenyl ligand. The reaction of complex4 with Ph₃CPF₆ in CH₂Cl₂ at 0 °C leads to the complex [Re(CO)₂(³-C₉H₇)(⁵-C₉H₇)PF₆, whereas the similar reaction of complex3 gives only decomposition products even at –20 °C.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis, structures and rac/meso isomerization behaviour of bisplanar chiral bis(phosphino-η-indenyl)iron(II) complexes

Syntheses of the phosphinoindenes 1-(diphenylphosphino)-3-methylindene (1b), 3-(diphenylphosphino)-2-methylindene (1c), 1-(diphenylphosphino)-2,3-dimethylindene (1d), 4,7-dimethyl-3-(diphenylphosphino)indene (1e), 1-(diphenylphosphino)-3,4,7-trimethylindene (1f) and 3-(diisopropylphosphino)indene (1i) were carried out by treatment of the appropriate indenide with the appropriate chlorophosphine. The silylphosphinoindene 3-(diphenylphosphino)-1-(trimethylsilyl)indene (1h) was prepared by treatment of the indenide of 3-(diphenylphosphino)indene (1a) with trimethylsilylchloride. These indenes, in addition to 1a, were then used, after deprotonation with BuLi, to prepare the corresponding indenyl ferrocenes, 2a-2e, 2h and 2i, by treatment with ferrous chloride in a 2:1 ratio. These compounds were characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, as well as by mass spectrometry, except for the highly-sensitive diisopropylphosphine 2i that could only be characterized by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. All of these ferrocene complexes are bisplanar chiral systems that can potentially form rac and meso isomers. In all cases both isomers were observed but for 2b and 2h only one could be isolated. The rac isomers of complexes 2a, 2b, 2d, and 2e, as well as the meso isomer of 2e, were studied by X-ray crystallography. Only complexes 2a and 2i were observed to undergo rac/meso isomerization processes at ambient temperature in THF solvent. We were unable to prepare the sterically congested hexamethylferrocene 2f. Generally, it was found that increasing substitution on the indenyl ring increases the reactivity and sensitivity of the ferrocene.     

μ-[Bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilyl]bis(tricarbonylwolfram), ein über cyclopentadienylliganden verbrücktes bis(η5-cyclopentadienyltricarbonylwolfram)

The reaction of W(CO)₃(EtCN)₃ with (C₅H₅)₂Si(CH₃)₂ leads to the Cp-bridged, binuclear hydrido complex [W(CO)₃H]₂-μ-[(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂Si(CH₃)₂] as the main product, whereas only [W(CO)₃]₂-μ-(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂Si(CH₃)₂] (I) is formed as the minor product. Much better yields of I can be obtained in the reaction of W(CO)₃(EtCN)₃ with the lithium salt Li₂[(C₅H₄)₂Si(CH₃)₂] and subsequent oxidation. As pointed out by X-ray structure analysis complex I has a cis-configuration with C₂-symmetry due to the linked Cp ligands. In the chiral complex a topomerism can be proved by temperature-dependent NMR spectroscopy.     

A stable dicarbonyl(cycloocta-1,5-diene)-(η1-indenyl)iridium intermediate in the substitution reaction of cycloocta-1,5-diene(η5-indenyl)iridium with carbon monoxide

Stable dicarbonyl(cycloocta-1,5-diene)(η¹-indenyl)iridium is formed by addition of CO to cyclooctadiene(η⁵-indenyl)iridium in CD₂Cl₂ at low temperature. On raising the temperature above 250 K, the η¹ species changes quantitatively into dicarbonyl (η⁵-indenyl)iridium.     

The crystal and molecular structure of bis(η5-trimethylsilylcyclopentadienyl)titanium(IV) dichloride,Ti(η5-C5H4SiMe 3)2Cl2

Summary The crystal and molecular structure of the titanocene complex Ti(⁵-C₅H₄SiMe ₃)₂Cl₂ has been determined by X-ray diffraction studies. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system [a=6.747(8),b=12.815(2),c=12.928(4) Å and =67.16(2), =82.29(5), =74.83(4)°] in the space group with 2 formula units in the unit cell. The coordination about the titanium atom formed by the two chlorine atoms and the centroids of the cyclopentadienyl rings is that of a distorted tetrahedron. The Cl-Ti-Cl angle is 91.63° while the (centroid)-Ti-(centroid) angle is 131.02°.

Crystal and molecular structure of (μ-η2,η3-propargyl)- bis(cyclopentadienyl)tetracarbonyldimolybdenum tetrafluoroborate and (μ-η2,η3-1,1-dimethylpropargyl)- bis(cyclopentadienyl)tetracarbonyldimolybdenum tetrafluoroborate

An X-ray study of [(μ-η²,η³-HCCCH₂)Cp₂Mo₂(CO)₄]⁺(BF₄⁻) (1) and [(μ-η²,η³-HCCCMe₂)Cp₂Mo₂(CO)₄]⁺(BF₄⁻) (2) reveals their structures to be similar to the structure of neutral compounds of the series (μ-η²,η²-RCCR)Cp₂Mo₂(CO)₄, the difference between 1 and 2 being mainly due to the markedly different MoC⁺ bond lengths, which accounts for different stability and fluxional behavior of these compounds in solution.     

Interconversion of acetyl- and terminal-carbonyl groups on labeled (η5-indenyl)(CO)2Fe13C(O)CH3

The ¹³C-labeled (95–99%) acetyl complex (η⁵-In)(CO)₃Fe¹³C(O)CH₃ (8) (In = indenyl) has been prepared by acylating In(CO)₂Fe⁻ Na⁺ (1) with CH₃ ¹³C(O)Cl. All of the starting 1 must be consumed in this reaction (at −78°C), or 45% of the product results as In(CO)(¹³CO)FeC(O)CH₃ (9). Once isolated, neither 8 nor mixtures of 8 and 9 further redistribute or lose this label after pressurizing under 800 atm CO, or after heating in heptane, THF, or acetonitrile solution. Treating 8 with even trace amounts of 1 or of Cp(CO)₂Fe⁻ Na⁺ (5) rapidly interconverts the acetyl and terminal carbonyls, thus transforming 8 into mixtures of 8 and 9. A mechanism is proposed that involves a labile metalla-β-diketonate In(CO)Fe(Fp-CO)(CH₃¹³CO)⁻ Na⁺.     

Rydberg spectra of bis(η-benzene)chromium derivatives: Gas-phase photoabsorption study of bis(η-1,2,4-trimethylbenzene)chromium and bis(η-1,2,4,5-tetramethylbenzene)chromium

The gas-phase electronic absorption spectra of (η⁶-1,2,4-C₆H₃Me₃)₂Cr (1) and (η⁶-1,2,4,5-C₆H₂Me₄)₂Cr (2) have been measured for the first time and compared with those recorded in n-pentane solution. The gas-phase spectra of both compounds show transitions from the non-bonding chromium 3d_z² orbital to molecular Rydberg s, p and d levels. The first ionisation potentials have been determined from the Rydberg frequencies as 4.994±0.009 and 4.862±0.009 eV for 1 and 2, respectively. Detailed assignments of Rydberg bands have been made on the basis of analysis of the quantum defects and term values. The Rydberg structures agree with the C₁, C_s or C₂ conformation for 1 and the D_2d geometry for 2 in the gas phase. In crystal, however, the molecule of 2 appears to adopt an eclipsed conformation close to D_2h as indicated by the X-ray diffraction. The influence of ring methylation on the Rydberg term values has been analysed for the first time.     

Novel (η-arene)-ruthenium(II) complexes containing bis(iminophosphorano)methanide and methandiide ligands

The novel bis(iminophosphorano)methanes CH₂[P{NP(S)(OR)₂}Ph₂]₂ (R = Ph (1a), Et (1b)) have been obtained by oxydation of dppm with the corresponding thiophosphorylated azides (RO)₂P(S)N₃. Deprotonation of 1a,b with KH generates the methanide species KCH[P{NP(S)(OR)₂}Ph₂]₂ (R = Ph (2a), Et (2b)). The ruthenium(II) dimer [{Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)(μ-Cl)Cl}₂] reacts with 2a,b to afford the cationic complexes [Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)(κ³-C,N,S-CH[P{NP(S)(OR)₂}Ph₂]₂)]⁺ (R = Ph (3a), Et (3b)), via selective κ³-C,N,S-coordination of the bis(iminophosphorano)methanide anions to ruthenium. The structure of [Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)(κ³-C,N,S-CH[P{NP(S)(OEt)₂}Ph₂]₂)][PF₆] (3b) has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Deprotonation of complexes 3a,b with NaH leads to the neutral carbene derivatives [Ru(η⁶-p-cymene)(κ²-C,N-C[P{NP(S)(OR)₂}Ph₂]₂)] (R = Ph (4a), Et (4b)).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of {η~5:η~1-[(2-Methoxyphenyl)-isopropyl]-indenyl}(dimethoxyethylene)lithium1

1 INTRODUCTION The applications of alkali metal cyclopentadi- enides or their benzoanellated analogues in organo- metallic and organic syntheses are still the interest of chemists[1–3]. The structures of known indenyl li- thium are the supersandwich or oligomeric indenyl lithium[4], and 2-aminoindenyl lithium[5] was charac- terized by high-resolution X-ray powder diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, respectively.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of {η5: η1-[ (2-Methoxyphenyl)-isopropyl]-indenyl}(dimethoxyethylene)lithium

The title compound {η5:η1-[(2-MeOC6H4)C3H6]C9H6}Li(DME) (DME = 1,2-dimethoxy-ethylene) was synthesized by the treatment of 3-[(2-methoxyphenyl)-isopropyl]-indene with 1 equiv. of n-BuLi followed by the recrystallization from a mixed solution of toluene and DME.The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic system, pace group Pbca with a = 14.5677(3), b = 15.54670(10), c = 18.7498(3) (A), Z = 8, V = 4246.45(11) (A)3, Dc = 1.127 g/cm3 andμ(MoKα) = 0.072 mm- 1. The coordination geometry can be described as a distorted tetrahedron.     

Synthesis and characterization of chromium(I) bis(η-toluene) derivatives containing sterically demanding anions

The reaction of Cr(η⁶-CH₃C₆H₅)₂ with 1-benzoyl-6-hydroxy-6-phenyl fulvene, dbcpH, and with pentakis(methoxycarbonyl)cyclopentadiene, pcmcpH, proceeds with evolution of dihydrogen and the formation of the ionic derivatives [Cr(η⁶-CH₃C₆H₅)₂][X] ([X]⁻ = 1,2-dibenzoylcyclopentadienyl, [dbcp]⁻, pentakis(methoxycarbonyl)cyclopentadienyl, [pcmcp]⁻), which have been characterized by IR and EPR spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction and electrochemical techniques. The sterically demanding anions do not affect the structural and electronic properties of the cations in solution but strongly influence crystal packing. In fact, a rare cis-eclipsed conformation of the toluene rings is found for [Cr(η⁶-CH₃C₆H₅)₂][dbcp] · THF, whereas two independent complexes are observed in the unit cell of [Cr(η⁶-CH₃C₆H₅)₂][pcmcp], one with toluene rings in a cis-eclipsed conformation and the other in a staggered conformation (projections of methyl groups form an angle of 151°).     

Planar chiral (η5-cyclohexadienyl)- and (η6-arene)-tricarbonylmanganese complexes: synthetic routes and application

Planar chiral arenetricarbonylchromium complexes have been intensively investigated and they have been applied as valuable building blocks for asymmetric synthesis and as ligands for asymmetric catalysis. In contrast, in the field of the isoelectronic cationic [(η(6)-arene)Mn(CO)(3)](+) complexes, until these last 10 years, very few studies were published involving nonracemic planar chiral cationic complexes and their potential applications, certainly because of the difficult access to enantiopure starting material. In 2009, however, the discovery of the first resolution of such compounds opened a new area for their application in the field of organic as well as of organometallic enantioselective syntheses. We felt it important to write a review on this subject to give an up-to-date summary of the methodologies used to prepare enantiomerically pure planar chiral neutral [(η(5)-cyclohexadienyl)Mn(CO)(3)] and cationic [(η(6)-arene)Mn(CO)(3)](+) complexes as well as their potential in enantioselective synthesis.

ESR study of reversible complex formation between bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)vanadium and fullerene C60 in solution

Using the ESR method, equilibrium complex formation of fullerene C₆₀ with bis-(⁵-cyclopentadienyl)vanadium in solutions in aromatic solvents was found to occur. Based on an analysis of isotropic (g _i = 2.0008;A _i ,(V⁵¹)=–45.7 mT) and anisotropic (g _i =1.9808;g ₂ = 2.0135; <g ₃> = 2.0060;A ₁(⁵¹V)=–7.85 mT;A ₂(⁵¹V) = –6.50 mT; <A ₃(⁵¹V)> = 0.61 mT) ESR spectra parameters, it was established that the complex formed, Cp₂V(²-C₆₀), corresponds to vanadocene d¹-complexes with ²-bonded ligands.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
