A new approach to the synthesis of carbon chains capped by metal clusters

Reactions of Co₃(μ₃-CBr)(μ-dppm)(CO)₇ with {Au[P(tol)₃]}₂{μ-(CC)_n} (n=2–4) have given {Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇}{μ₃:μ₃-C(CC)_nC} [n=2 (1), 3 (2), 4 (3)] containing carbon chains capped by the cobalt clusters. Tetracyanoethene reacts with 2 to give {Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇}₂{μ₃:μ₃-C(CC)₂C[=C(CN)₂]C[=C(CN)₂]C} (4). X-ray structural characterisation of 1, 3 and 4 are reported, that for 3 being the first of a cluster-capped C₁₀ chain.     

Reductive dehalogenation of chloro(alkynyl)phosphines by octacarbonyldicobalt

Reductive dehalogenation of the (chloro)(phenylethynyl)phosphine (2,4,6-^tBu₃C₆H₂O)(PhCC)PCl, I, by Co₂(CO)₈, II, yields the neutral phosphenium ion complex [(R)(R′)]P=Co(CO)₃, III, (R = 2,4,6-^tBu₃C₆H₂O; R′ = (η²-C≡CPh)Co₂(CO)₆), which contains a trigonally planar coordinated phosphorus atom. When NaCo(CO)₄, V, is used instead of II a dinuclear complex, Co₂(CO)₆[μ²-P(R)(R′)]₂, VI, (R = 2,4,6-^tBu₃C₆H₂O; R′ = C≡CPh) is formed in which the phosphido ligands P(R)(R′), bridge in a μ₂ fashion two Co(CO)₃ units. The mechanism of formation of VI, involving a formal dimerization of two [(2,4,6-^tBu₃C₆H₂O)(PhC≡C)]P=Co(CO)₃ fragments, is discussed. However, (^tBu)(PhC≡C)PCl, VII, reacts with II, to yield the cluster compound VIII, containing the two μ₂-bridging units (^tBu)[(η²-C≡CPh)Co₂(CO)₅]P and (^tBu)(PhC≡C)P.

Compounds II and VI–VIII were identified from their analytical and spectroscopic (IR, ¹H-, ¹³C- and ³¹P-NMR) data. The molecular structure of the cluster compound VIII was determined by an X-ray diffraction study.

Preparation of a palladium dimer with a cobalt-containing bulky phosphine ligand: Its application in palladium catalyzed Suzuki reactions

A palladium dimer with a cobalt-containing phosphine ligand, {(μ-PPh₂CH₂PPh₂)Co₂(CO)₄(μ,η-(tBu)₂PCCC₆H₄-κC¹)Pd(μ-Cl)}₂ (3), was prepared from the reaction of its monomer precursor, (μ-PPh₂CH₂PPh₂)Co₂(CO)₄(μ,η-(tBu)₂PCCC₆H₄-κC¹)Pd(μ-OAc) (2), with LiCl. The crystal structure of 3, determined by X-ray diffraction methods, revealed a doubly chloride-bridged palladium dimeric conformation. Suzuki coupling reactions of bromobenzene with phenylboronic acid were carried out catalytically using these two novel palladium complexes 2 and 3 as catalyst precursors. Factors such as the molar ratio of substrate/catalyst, reaction temperature, base and solvent that might affect the catalytic efficiencies were investigated. As a general rule, the performance is much better by employing 3 than 2 as the catalyst precursor.     

The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether from syngas over hybrid catalysts with sulfate-modified γ-alumina as methanol dehydration components

A series of γ-Al₂O₃ samples modified with various contents of sulfate (0–15 wt.%) and calcined at different temperatures (350–750 °C) were prepared by an impregnation method and physically admixed with CuO–ZnO–Al₂O₃ methanol synthesis catalyst to form hybrid catalysts. The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) from syngas was carried out over the prepared hybrid catalysts under pressurized fixed-bed continuous flow conditions. The results revealed that the catalytic activity of SO₄²⁻/γ-Al₂O₃ for methanol dehydration increased significantly when the content of sulfate increased to 10 wt.%, resulting in the increase in both DME selectivity and CO conversion. However, when the content of sulfate of SO₄²⁻/γ-Al₂O₃ was further increased to 15 wt.%, the activity for methanol dehydration was increased, and the selectivity for DME decreased slightly as reflected in the increased formation of byproducts like hydrocarbons and CO₂. On the other hand, when the calcination temperature of SO₄²⁻/γ-Al₂O₃ increased from 350 °C to 550 °C, both the CO conversion and the DME selectivity increased gradually, accompanied with the decreased formation of CO₂. Nevertheless, a further increase in calcination temperature to 750 °C remarkably decreased the catalytic activity of SO₄²⁻/γ-Al₂O₃ for methanol dehydration, resulting in the significant decline in both DME selectivity and CO conversion. The hybrid catalyst containing the SO₄²⁻/γ-Al₂O₃ with 10 wt.% sulfate and calcined at 550 °C exhibited the highest selectivity and yield for the synthesis of DME.     

Synthesis, characterization of new Rh---Co mixed-metal clusters and reactions of clusters containing [Rh2Co2C2] core with 1-alkynes and/or carbon monoxide

Six new cluster derivatives [Rh₂Co₂(CO)₆(μ-CO)₄(μ₄,η²-HCCR)] (R=FeCp₂ 1, CH₂OH 2, (CH₃O)C₁₀H₆CH(CH₃)COOCH₂CCH 3) and [RhCo₃(CO)₆(μ-CO)₄(μ₄,η²-HCCR)] (R=FeCp₂ 4, CH₂OH 5, (CH₃O)C₁₀H₆CH(CH₃)COOCH₂CCH 6) were obtained by the reactions of [Rh₂Co₂(CO)₁₂] and [RhCo₃(CO)₁₂] with substituted 1-alkyne ligands HCCR [R=FeCp₂ 7, CH₂OH 8, (CH₃O)C₁₀H₆CH(CH₃) COOCH₂CCH 9] in n-hexane at room temperature, respectively.

Reactions of 1, 2 with 7, 8 and ambient pressure of carbon monoxide at 25 °C gave two known cluster complexes [Co₂(CO)₆(μ₂, η²-HCCR)] (R=FeCp₂ 10, CH₂OH 11), respectively. All clusters were characterized by element analysis, IR and ¹H-NMR spectroscopy.

Synthesis and characterization of Na5[Co(CO)3(P{(CH2)nC6H4-P-SO3}3)2], n = 1, 2, 3, and 6. Novel zwitterion

The electron donating water soluble phosphines, P{(CH₂)nC₆H₄-p-SO₃Na}₃,n = 1, 2, 3 and 6, react rapidly with Co₂(CO)₈ under two phase reaction conditions to yield the disproportionation products, [Co(CO)₃(P{(CH₂)nC₆H₄-p-SO₃Na₃}₂] [Co(CO)₄]. Selective precipitation yields the formally zwitterionic complex anions as the sodium salt, [Co(CO)₃(P{(CH₂)nC₆H₄-p-SO₃} ₃)₂]⁵⁻. The anions can be used as precursors to water soluble cobalt hydroformylation catalysts under two phase and supported aqueous phase conditions. The tendency to form alcohol products is low with these complexes. The behavior of the catalysts is consistent with an active species that remains water soluble during the reaction and is not leached into the nonaqueous phase.

Metal–metal bonding in metal–string complexes M3(dpa)4X2 (M = Ni, Co, dpa = di(2-pyridyl)amido, and X = Cl, NCS) from resonance Raman and infrared spectroscopy

Infrared and Raman spectra for metal–string complexes M₃(dpa)₄X₂ (M = Ni, Co, dpa = di(2-pyridyl)amido, and X = Cl, NCS) are studied. We assign the Ni₃ asymmetric stretching vibration to infrared lines at 304 and 311 cm⁻¹ for Ni₃(dpa)₂Cl₂ and Ni₃(dpa)₂(NCS)₂, respectively. A Raman shift at 242 cm⁻¹ is assigned to the Ni₃ symmetric stretching mode. For Co₃ complexes a line for the Co₃ asymmetric stretching mode appears at 313 and 331 cm⁻¹ for Co₃(dpa)₂Cl₂ and Co₃(dpa)₂(NCS)₂, respectively.     

Formation and structure of [Co{Ph2PN(Bu)PPh2-P,P′}2(CO)][Co)(CO)4] - a cage molecule-pair or an ion-pair complex?

Synthesis, structures and reactivity of triosmium clusters containing terminal pyrazines, bridging hydroxy and methoxycarbonyl ligands

Four triosmium carbonyl clusters bearing terminal pyrazines, bridging hydroxy and methoxycarbonyl ligands of general formula [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-OH)(μ-OMeCO)L] (1, L = pyrazine; 2, L = 2-methylpyrazine; 3, L = 2,3-dimethylpyrazine; 4, L = 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine) were synthesized by the reactions of [Os₃(CO)₁₂] with the corresponding pyrazine derivatives and water in the presence of a methanolic solution of Me₃NO in moderate yields. Compounds [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-OH)(μ-OMeCO)L] react with a series of two electron donor ligands, L′ at ambient temperature to give [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-OH)(μ-OMeCO)L′] (5, L′ = PPh₃; 6, L′ = P(OMe)₃; 7, L′ = ^tBuNC; 8, L′ = C₅H₅N) in good yields by the displacement of the pyrazine ligands. This implies that the pyrazine ligands in 1–4 are relatively labile. Compounds 2, 3, 4, and 8 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. All the four compounds possess two metal–metal bonds and a non-bonded separation of two osmium atoms defined by Os(1)Os(3), which are simultaneously bridged by OH and MeOCO ligands and a heterocyclic ligand is terminally coordinated to one of the two non-bonded osmium atoms.     

Nouveaux composes heterotrinucleaires fer—ruthenium a ponts hydroxo et hydruro

Two new types of heteropolymetallic complexes FeRu₂(μ-OH)₂(CO)₈(PR₃)₂ and FeRu₂(μ-H)(μ-OH)(CO)₈(PR₃)₂ have been obtained in acetone and isopropanol, respectively, from the reaction of FeRu₂(μ-Cl)₂ complexes with bases. They contained a Ru---Fe---Ru bent-chain with the bridging groups holding the ruthenium atoms.     

Syntheses, X-ray structures, and reactions of ruthenium carbonyl complexes containing 1,1-dithiolates

Treatment of [Ru₂(CO)₄(MeCN)₆][BF₄]₂ or [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ-O₂CMe)₂(MeCN)₂] with uni-negative 1,1-dithiolate anions via potassium dimethyldithiocarbamate, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, potassium tert-butylthioxanthate, and ammonium O,O′-diethylthiophosphate gives both monomeric and dimeric products of cis-[Ru(CO)₂(η²-(SS))₂] ((SS)⁻=Me₂NCS₂⁻ (1), Et₂NCS₂⁻ (2), ^tBuSCS₂⁻ (3), (EtO)₂PS₂⁻ (4)) and [Ru(CO)(η²-(Me₂NCS₂))(μ,η²-Me₂NCS₂)]₂ (5). The lightly stabilized MeCN ligands of [Ru₂(CO)₄(MeCN)₆][BF₄]₂ are replaced more readily than the bound acetate ligands of [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ-O₂CMe)₂(MeCN)₂] by thiolates to produce cis-[Ru(CO)₂(η²-(SS))₂] with less selectivity. Structures 1 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystallography. Although the two chelating dithiolates are cis to each other in 1, the dithiolates are trans to each other in each of the {Ru(CO)(η²-Me₂NCS₂)₂} fragment of 5. The dimeric product 5 can be prepared alternatively from the decarbonylation reaction of 1 with a suitable amount of Me₃NO in MeCN. However, the dimer [Ru(CO)(η²-Et₂NCS₂)(μ,η²-Et₂NCS₂)]₂ (6), prepared from the reaction of 2 with Me₃NO, has a structure different from 5. The spectral data of 6 probably indicate that the two chelating dithiolates are cis to each other in one {Ru(CO)(η²-Et₂NCS₂)₂}fragment but trans in the other. Both 5 and 6 react readily at ambient temperature with benzyl isocyanide to yield cis-[Ru(CO)(CNCH₂Ph)(η²-(SS))₂] ((SS)=Me₂NCS₂⁻ (7) and Et₂NCS₂⁻ (8)). A dimerization pathway for cis-[Ru(CO)₂(η²-(SS))₂] via decabonylation and isomerization is proposed.     

Synthesis and characterisation of [(C5Me4R)2NbS2]2M complexes (M = Fe, Co; R = Me, Et) : organometallic tetrathiometalates with niobocene ligands

Irradiation of Cp₂^* Nb(η²---S₂)H (Cp^* = C₅Me₅) 1a in the presence of Fe(CO)₅ gives the CO-free complex [Cp₂^*NbS₂]₂Fe 2a. The core of 2a contains an FeS₄ tetrahedron which is ligated by two niobocene ligands as shown by X-ray diffraction analysis. In the reaction of 1a or Cp₂^xNb(η²---S₂)H (CP^x = C₅Me₄Et) 1b with Co₂(CO)₈, compounds 3a and 3b of the same type are formed. Electrochemical studies of 2a and 3a,b show that they undergo three reversible 1e⁻ steps. The oxidation of 3b exerts a considerable influence on its absorption spectrum. A qualitative EHMO analysis is in agreement with a strong delocalisation of electron density over the whole NbS₂MS₂Nb system.
