Reactions of the Complexes ReNCl2(PMe2Ph)3, [ReNCl4]—, [OsO3N]—, and Cl3VNCl with Metal Halides

The nitrido complexes ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ and [OsO₃N]^— have strong basic terminal nitrido ligands which can react with Lewis acidic metal halides to form nitrido bridges. The synthesis and structure of complexes with ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃ and nitrido bridges Re≡N‐M (M = B, Ga, Sn, Ti, Zr, V, Nb, Ta, Mo, Re, Pd, Au, and Zn) as well as of complexes with [OsO₃N]^— and nitrido bridges Os≡N‐M (M = Pd and Pt) are reported. Strong Lewis acids can also remove phosphine or chloro ligands from ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃. The resulting complex fragments subsequently combine to yield oligomeric complexes with nitrido bridges Re≡N‐Re. If the reaction with strong Lewis acids is carried out in a chlorinated solvent the solvent can be decomposed to form HCl which then protonates the nitrido ligand affording an imido complex. [ReNCl₄]^— is able to form nitrido bridges to electrophilic halides if a donor ligand is coordinated in trans position to the nitrido ligand to enhance its basicity sufficiently. The synthesis and structure of examples with nitrido bridges Re≡N‐M (M = Pd, Pt, Ta) are reported. The chloro imido complex Cl₃V≡N‐Cl can act as a nitride ion transfer reagent. Its reaction with MoCl₅ yields Mo₂NCl₈ whereas with MoCl₃ the nitride chlorides Mo₃N₂Cl₁₁ and MoNCl₃ are obtained. Cl₃VNCl can also act as an reactive intermediate by the reaction of VN with a halide as was shown by the reaction of MoCl₅ with VN yielding Mo₂NCl₇. The structures of these molybdenum nitride chlorides are discussed.

X-Ray Crystal Structures of trans-Chloro-dimethyldithiocarbamato-bis(dimethylphenylphosphine) nitridorhenium(V), [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(Me₂dtc)], and Bis(diethyldithiocarbamato)(dimethylphenylphosphine)nitridorhenium(V), [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)(Et₂dtc)₂] [ReNCl₂(Me₂PhP)₃] reacts with dialkyldithiocarbamates, R₂dtc^?, under a stepwise ligand exchange. Final products of these reactions are the well-known [ReN(R₂dtc)₂] bischelates. Intermediatelly, however, complexes of the general formulae [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(R₂dtc)] and [ReN(Me₂PhP)(R₂dtc)₂] can be isolated. Representatives have been structurally characterized.

The rhenium atom has a distorted octahedral environment; the Re≡N bond length is 1.71(1) Å. The Re? Cl bond distance is markedly lengthened (2.665(2) Å) as a consequence of the strong trans labilizing influence of the coordinated nitrido ligand.

S bond lengths. The Re? S(4) distance is 2.7983(2) Å which can be discussed as a weak interaction with the metal.

Synthese und Kristallstruktur der Molybdännitrido‐Komplexe [MoNCl3(MeCN)]4 und [MoNCl2(bipy)]4

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of the Nitrido Complexes [MoNCl₃(MeCN)]₄ and [MoNCl₂(bipy)]₄ [MoNCl₃(MeCN)]₄ ( 1 ) is obtained by the reaction of MoCl₄(MeCN)₂ with Me₃SiN₃ in CH₂Cl₂ as a sparingly soluble and water sensitive red compound. It crystallizes as 1 · 3 CH₂Cl₂ in the triclinic space group P 1 with a = 889.7(1), b = 1004.8(1), c = 1270.4(2) pm; α = 71.69(1)°; β = 73.63(1)°; γ = 86.32(1)°, and Z = 1. It forms centrosymmetric tetranuclear complexes, in which the Mo atoms are connected by asymmetric and linear nitrido bridges with distances Mo–N of 167.5 and 214.3 pm. The acetonitrile molecules are coordinated with a long bond length Mo–N of 241 pm in trans position to the Mo–N triple bond. The reaction of 1 with 2,2′‐bipyridine in CH₂Cl₂/THF yields the tetranuclear molybdenum(V) complex [MoNCl₂(bipy)]₄ ( 2 ) as main product. It crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P4₂/n with a = 1637.5(2), c = 1018.3(2) pm, and Z = 2. In the tetranuclear complexes with the symmetry S₄ linear and asymmetric nitrido bridges connect the Mo atoms to form an almost planar eight membered Mo–N ring with distances Mo–N of 173 and 203 pm. The bipyridine molecules coordinate as chelates in cis and trans position to the Mo–N triple bond. In this case the trans influence causes different Mo–N distances of 219 and 232 pm.

This [Cl₂Re(N₃S₂)(μ‐NSN)(μ‐N≡ReCl₃)]^– unit dimerizes via one of the N‐atoms of the (NSN)^4– ligand to give a centrosymmetric Re₂N₂ four‐membered ring.
