MASSENSPEKTROMETRISCHE UNTERSUCHUNGEN AN ORGANOPHOSPHORVERBINDUNGEN I Zum Massenspektrometrischen Fragmentierungsverhalten von Dithio- und Thiophosphonsäureanhydriden

Abstract

70 eV electron impact mass spectra of dimeric dithiophosphonic acid anhydrides [RP(S)S]₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₅, p-CH₃OC₆H₄, p-C₂H₅OC₆H₄, 2-Thienyl, 2-Naphthyl) and trimeric thiophosphonic acid anhydrides [RP(S)O]₃ (R = CH₃, C₆H₅, Cyclohexyl) are reported and discussed. General fragmentation patterns which are consistent with DADI metastable spectra are suggested for both classes of compounds. Molecular ions are observed in all cases. While in the earlier class ring fission followed by migration of R from phosphorus to sulphur is dominating, the –P–O–P– ring in the latter seems to be rather stable.

Elektronenstoß induzierte 70 eV Massenspektren der dimeren Dithiophosphonsäureanhydride [RP(S)S]₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₅, p-CH₃OC₆H₄, p-C₂H₅OC₆H₄, 2-Thienyl, 2-Naphthyl) und trimeren Thiophosphonsäureanhydride [RP(S)O]₃ (R = CH₃, C₆H₅, Cyclohexyl) werden aufgeführt und diskutiert. Allgemeine Fragmentierungsschemata, die durch Metastabilenspektren nach der Methode DADI erhärtet worden sind, werden für beide Verbindungsklassen vorgeschlagen. Molekülionen werden in allen Fällen beobachtet. Während für die erste Verbindungsklasse Ringspaltung, gefolgt von einer Wanderung des Substituenten R vom Phosphor zum Schwefel, der dominierende Zerfallschritt ist, besitzt der –P–O–P– Ring der zweiten Verbindungsklasse eine ziemliche Stabilität.     

Complexes of lanthanides with triethanolamine

Reactions of equimolar amounts of Cp₃Er or amides [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃Ln (Ln = Y, Nd) with triethanolamine lead to the formation of insoluble products of the composition Ln(OC₂H₄)₃N. Naphthalene complex of Eu(II), Cl₁₀H₈Eu(THF)₃, reacts with triethanolamine also with the formation of insoluble compound of trivalent europium Eu(OC₂H₄)₃N. Erbium aminoalkoxide Er(OC₂H₄)₃N actively reacts with carbon dioxide at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in THF to form the adduct Er[OC(O)OC₂H₄]₃N. In the reaction of triethanolamine with the excess of [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃Ln (Ln = Y, Eu) in THF soluble binuclear complexes of the composition [(Ne₃Si]₂NLn(OC₂H₄)₃NC₂H₄OLn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂(THF) are formed. The reaction of triethanolamine with [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃Y in 3:1 ratio in THF gives the compound Y[OC₂H₄N(C₂H₄OH)₂]₃. The composition and structure of obtained complexes was established by elemental analysis and the IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

Organometallic chemistry of chiral diphosphazane ligands: Synthesis and structural characterisation

The diphosphazane ligands of the type, (C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(R)P(E)Y₂ (R = CHMe₂ or (S)-*CHMePh; E = lone pair or S; Y₂ = O₂C₂₀H₁₂ or Y = OC₆H₅ or OC₆H₄Me-4 or OC₆H₄OMe-4 or OC₆H₄Bu^t-4 or C₆H₅) bearing axially chiral 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2′-dioxy moiety have been synthesised. The structure and absolute configuration of a diastereomeric palladium complex, [PdCl₂{ηsu2}-((O₂C₂₀H₁₂)PN((S)-*CHMePh)PPh₂] has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The reactions of [CpRu(PPh₃)₂Cl] with various symmetrical and unsymmetrical diphosphazanes of the type, X₂PN(R)PYY′ (R = CHMe₂ or (S)-*CHMePh; X = C₆H₅ or X₂ = O₂C₂₀H₁₂; Y=Y′= C₆H₅ or Y = C₆H₅, Y′ = OC₆H₄Me-4 or OC₆H₃Me₂-3,5 or N₂C₃HMe₂-3,5) yield several diastereomeric neutral or cationic half-sandwich ruthenium complexes which contain a stereogenic metal center. In one case, the absolute configuration of a trichiral ruthenium complex, viz. [Cp*Ruη₂-Ph₂PN((S)-*CHMePh)*PPh (N₂C₃HMe₂-3,5)Cl] is established by X-ray diffraction. The reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with the diphosphazanes (C₂₀H₁₂O₂)PN(R)PY₂ (R = CHMe₂orMe; Y₂=O₂C₂₀H₁₂or Y= OC₆H₅ or OC₆H₄Me-4 or OC₆H₄OMe-4 or OC₆H₄Bu^t-4 or C₆H₅) yield the triruthenium clusters [Ru₃(CO)₁₀{η-(O₂C₂₀H₁₂)PN(R)PY₂}], in which the diphosphazane ligand bridges two metal centres. Palladium allyl chemistry of some of these chiral ligands has been investigated. The structures of isomeric η³-allyl palladium complexes, [Pd(η³-l,3-R′₂-C₃H₃){η²-(rac)-(0₂C₂₀H₁₂)PN(CHMe₂)PY₂}](PF₆) (R′ = Me or Ph; Y = C₆H₅ or OC₆H₅) have been elucidated by high field two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic studies.

New Spiro Compounds from Cyclophosphazenes and Cyclodi[phosphadiazanes] Chlorocyclophosphazenes (Cl₂P = N)₃ and (Cl₂p = N)₄ react with dihydrazidophosphoric acid derivatives in THF in the presence of triethylamine to give the spirocyclic compounds Cl₄N₃P₃(NHN(CH₃))₂P(S)OC₆H₅, Cl₆N₄P₄(NHNH)₂P(S)OC₆H₅. Constitutions have been confirmed by MS, NMR, IR and elemental analysis.     

Diastereoselective Formation of Functional Diphosph(III) Azanes

Abstract

Diphosph(III)azanes i-PrN[PhP(i-PrNH)](PhPR) (R = Me, Et, Ph, t-Bu) form diastemselectively in reactions of RNH₂ with i-PrN[PhP(i-PrNH)](PhPCl). Reactions of 1,3,2-diazaphospholes C₆H₄(NH)₂PR with RPCl₂ and RP(Net₂)₂ (R = Me, Ph) yield i-PrN[PhP(i-RNH)][PhP(RNH)] and C₆H₄(NH)PRNP(R)X(X=Cl, NEt₂), respectively, with modest stereoselection. New diazaphosph (III) azanes are characterized by spectral (³¹P, ¹H, ¹³C NMR, IR, MS) data and single crystal x-ray analyses of i-PrN[PhP(i-PrNH)][PhP(EtNH)] and C₆H₄(NH)PEtS(N)P(NEt₂)EtS are described.     

36- and 42-Membered cyclophosphazene-containing macrocycles

Novel 36- 6 and 42- 7 membered cyclophosphazene-containing macrocycles were obtained by [2+2] condensation reactions of N₃P₃(O₂C₁₂H₈)₂[-O-C₆H₄-p-CHO]₂3 with PhP(O)[N(Me)NH₂]₂4 or 1,6-diaminohexane 5.     

New rac‐XP(O)(OC6H5)(NHC6H4‐p‐CH3) [X = N(CH3)(cyclo‐C6H11) and NH(C3H5)] and rac‐(C6H5CH2NH)P(O)(OC6H5)(NH‐cyclo‐C6H11) mixed‐amide phosphinates

The mixed‐amide phosphinates, rac‐phenyl (N‐methylcyclohexylamido)(p‐tolylamido)phosphinate, C₂₀H₂₇N₂O₂P, (I), and rac‐phenyl (allylamido)(p‐tolylamido)phosphinate, C₁₆H₁₉N₂O₂P, (II), were synthesized from the racemic phosphorus–chlorine compound (R,S)‐(Cl)P(O)(OC₆H₅)(NHC₆H₄‐p‐CH₃). Furthermore, the phosphorus–chlorine compound ClP(O)(OC₆H₅)(NH‐cyclo‐C₆H₁₁) was synthesized for the first time and used for the synthesis of rac‐phenyl (benzylamido)(cyclohexylamido)phosphinate, C₁₉H₂₅N₂O₂P, (III). The strategies for the synthesis of racemic mixed‐amide phosphinates are discussed. The P atom in each compound is in a distorted tetrahedral (N¹)P(=O)(O)(N²) environment. In (I) and (II), the p‐tolylamido substituent makes a longer P—N bond than those involving the N‐methylcyclohexylamido and allylamido substituents. In (III), the differences between the P—N bond lengths involving the cyclohexylamido and benzylamido substituents are not significant. In all three structures, the phosphoryl O atom takes part with the N—H unit in hydrogen‐bonding interactions, viz. an N—H...O=P hydrogen bond for (I) and (N—H)(N—H)...O=P hydrogen bonds for (II) and (III), building linear arrangements along [001] for (I) and along [010] for (III), and a ladder arrangement along [100] for (II).     

Synthese und Struktur der Komplexe [(Me2PhP)3Cl2Re≡N‐RuCl2(C6H6)] und [(Me2PhP)3Cl2Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)]

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Complexes [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] and [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)] The heteronuclear complex [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] ( 1 ) is obtained by the reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [RuCl₂(C₆H₆)]₂ in C₆H₅CN in form of red crystals with the composition 1 ·C₆H₅CN crystallizing in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a =1149.77(8), b = 3085.9(3), c = 1172.1(1) pm, β = 104.766(9)° and Z = 4. In the dinuclear complex the complex fragment [RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] is connected by an asymmetric nitrido bridge with the nitrido complex [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃]. The nitrido bridge is characterised by a bond angle Re‐N‐Ru of 170.6(3)° and distances Re‐N = 170.2(5) and Ru‐N = 199.0(5) pm. The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [RhCl(COD)]₂ in benzonitrile yields orange crystals of [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)] ( 2 ) with the space group P2₁/c and a = 1522.3(2), b = 1274.85(4), c = 1921.2(2) pm, β = 106.759(7)° and Z = 4. The monovalent Rh atom exhibits a square planar coordination with the two π‐bonds of the cycloocta‐1, 5‐diene occupying cis positions. The distances in the almost linear nitrido bridge (Re‐N‐Rh = 174.8(4)°>) are Re‐N = 172.2(6) pm and Rh‐N = 195.6(6) pm.

Final products of these reactions are [Re(NBCl₃)-(Me₂PhP)(Et₂dtc)₂], [Re(NGaCl₃)(Me₂PhP)(Et₂dtc)₂], and [Re(NS)Cl(Me₂PhP)₂Et₂dtc)] which have been studied by mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. [Re(NBCl₃)(Me₂PhP)(Et₂dtc)₂] crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 , Z = 2, a = 8.151(6), b = 9.935(8), c = 18.67(1) Å; α = 94.42(4), β = 97.09(1), γ = 101.35(4)°. The coordination geometry is a distorted octahedron. The equatorial coordination sphere is occupied by one phosphorus and three sulphur atoms. The fourth sulphur atom is in trans position to the Re?N? B moiety. The almost linear Re?N? B unit has an Re?N? B angle of 170.5(3)° with a Re? N bond length of 1.704(3) Å. The analogous [Re(NGaCl₃)(Me₂PhP)(Et₂dtc)₂] crystallizes in P2₁/c with a = 8.138(3), b = 18.279(2), c = 19.880(6) Å; β = 99.81(2)°; Z = 4. Rhenium has a distorted octahedral environment. The Re? N? Ga bond is slightly bent with an angle of 154.5(4)° and a Re? N bond length of 1.695(6) Å. [Re(NS)Cl(Me₂PhP)₂(Et₂dtc)] crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 , Z = 4, a = 9.514(2); b = 16.266(5); c = 18.388(3) Å; α = 88.75(2), β = 76.59(2), γ = 85.50(2)° with two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. Rhenium has a distorted octahedral environment with the chloro ligand in trans position to the almost linear thionitrosyl group.

Mono- and bi-metallic complexes based on redox-active tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borato-molybdenum nitrosyls,part III.(1) Complexes containing meta-substituted benzene- and naphthalenediols or -diamines

Summary The complexes [MoL^*(NO)Cl(YC₆H₄YH-m)] (Y = O or NH), [MoL^*(NO)Cl(YC₁₀H₆YH-1,5)], (Y = O or NH), [MoL^*(NO)Cl(OC₁₀H₆OH-2,7)], [{MoL^*(NO)Cl}₂(XC₆H₄Y-m)] (X=Y=O, NH or S; X=O, Y=NH), [{MoL^*(NO)-C1}₂(YC₁₀H₆Y-1,5)] (Y=O or NH) and [{MoL^*(NO)Cl₂-(OC₁₀H₆-2,7)] have been prepared and studied by cyclic voltammetry. The monometallic species undergo a reversible oneelectron reduction, whereas the bimetallics undergo two oneelectron reductions. A comparison of E_1/2 (E_1/2(1)-E_1/2(2)) values for those new species with those obtained frompara- substituted analogues and bimetallics containing extended bridges YC₆H₄ZC₆H₄Y (e.g. Z = S or CH₂CH₂) established that the interaction between the redox centres in these new species is intermediate (YC₆H₄Y-m; NHC₁₀H₆NH-1,5) or weak (OC₁₀H₆O).In earlier papers^1,2 we have described the synthesis and electrochemical properties of a series of mono- and bi-metallic complexes of the type [MoL^*(NO)X(YC₆H₄YH)], [MoL^*(NO)X}₂(YC₆H₄Y)] and [{MoL^*(NO)X}₂(YC₆H₄-ZC₆H₄Y)] [L^*=tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate, HB(Me₂C₃HN₂)₃] where the arene ring ispara-substituted (X=Cl or I while Y=O, S or NH and Z = nothing, CH₂, CH₂CH₂, S, SO₂ or O). We have shown that the E_1/2-values of these species are dependent on X and Y, and that the bimetallic species undergo two one-electron reduction processes.We have established that there is strong interaction between the redox centres in bimetallics bridged byp-YC₆H₄Y, but that weak-to-negligible interaction occurs in those species containing YC₆H₄ZC₆H₄Y bridges. In this paper we describe our investigations ofmete-substituted bridging systems,m-YC₆H₄Y, and comparable systems containing naphthalene bridges,e.g. 1,5- or 2,7-YC₁₀H₂Y. From these studies we hoped to establish the extent of interaction between the two redox centres and how this compared to thepara-substituted arene counterparts.     

Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of ionic gold(I) and gold(III) carbene derivatives: An investigation of the formation of [M – H]+ species

Fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry of the gold(I) and gold(III) derivatives, {Au[C(Y)–NHAr]₂}⁺X^? and {Au[C(Y)–NHAr]₂I₂} ⁺ X^? (Y =? OC₂H₅ or ? NHAr; X^? = CIO₄^? or BF₄^?; Ar = p-CH₃? C₆H₄) has led to the detection, for the alkoxyamino derivatives only, of [M–H]⁺˙ molecular species. The mechanism of the formation of these unusual species has been studied with respect to the oxidation state of gold, nature of the matrix, matrix acidity and ligand structure. The energetics of two possible alternative mechanisms has been studied by means of ab initio theoretical calculations. Both experimental and theoretical data indicate that [M–H]⁺˙ formation is due to the reaction of M⁺ with H⁺-philic and/or H˙-philic species produced from the matrix by FAB. Whatever the operative mechanism, the [M–H]⁺˙ formation is to be considered a FAB-induced oxidative process.     

Low-Valent Group 14 NHC-Stabilized Phosphinidenide ate Complexes and NHC-Stabilized K/P-Clusters

The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized phosphinidenide, SIMesPK [SIMes=1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolidine-2-ylidene], was used as an (NHC)P-transfer reagent for the synthesis of the low-valent Group 14 ate complexes K[(SIMesP)₃E] (E=Ge: 2 , Sn: 3 , Pb: 4 ), which were characterized by ¹H NMR, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy as well as elemental and X-ray analysis. Furthermore, SIMesPK was used in reactions with potassium amides and alkoxides to form the molecular phosphorus–potassium clusters [K₄(SIMesP)₂(hmds)₂] [ 5 , hmds=N(SiMe₃)₂] and [K₆(SIMesP)₂(OtBu)₄] ( 6 ). Finally, the reaction of SIMesPK with Li[Al(OC₄F₉)₄] led to the potassium-rich ionic compound [(SIMesP)₄K₅][Al(OC₄F₉)₄] ( 7 ).     

Triorganoantimon- und Triorganobismutderivate von Carbonsäuren fünfgliedriger Heterocyclen Kristall- und Molekülstruktur von (C6H5)3Sb(O2C-2-C4H3S)2

Inhaltsübersicht. Triorganoantimon- und Triorganobismutdicarboxylate R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)ⁿ-2-C₄H₃X]₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 0, X = O, S, NH, NCH₃. M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) wurden durch Reaktionen von R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) bzw. R₃BiCO₃ mit den entsprechenden fünfgliedrigen heterocyclischen Carbonsäuren 2-C₄H₃X(CH₂)_nCOOH dargestellt. Auf der Basis schwingungsspektroskopischer Daten wird für alle Verbindungen eine trigonal bipyramidale Umgebung vom M (zwei O-Atome von einzähnigen Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen, drei C-Atome von R in den äquatorialen Positionen) vorgeschlagen, ferner eine schwache Wechselwirkung zwischen O(=C) jeder Carboxylatgruppe und M. Die Kristallstrukturbestimmung von (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₃ stützt diesen Vorschlag. Die Verbindung kristallisiert triklin [Raumgruppe P$1; a = 891,8(14), b = 1058,2(12), c = 1435,6(9) pm, α = 68,53(8), β = 85,47(9), γ = 85,99(11)°; Z = 2; d(ber.) = 1,607 Mg m^–3; V(Zelle) = 1255,6 ų; Strukturbestimmung anhand von 3947 unabhängigen Reflexen (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(ungewichtet) = 0,037]. Sb bindet drei C₆H₅-Gruppen in der äquatorialen Ebene [mittlerer Abstand Sb–C: 211,1(5)pm] und zwei einzähnige Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen Positionen einer verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramide [mittlerer Abstand Sb–O: 212,0(4) pm]. Aus den relativ kurzen Sb – O(=C)-Abständen [274,4(4) und 294,9(4) pm] und aus der Aufweitung des dem O(=C)-Atom nächsten äquatorialen C–Sb–C-Winkels auf 145,9(2)° [andere C-Sb-C-Winkel: 104,4(2), 109,5(2)°] wird auf schwache Sb–O(=C)-Koordination geschlossen. Schließlich wird eine Korrelation zwischen dem (+, –)I-Effekt des Organoliganden R an M (M = Sb, Bi) und der Stärke der M–O(=C)-Koordination in den Dicarboxylaten R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ vorgeschlagen. Triorganoanümony and Triorganobismuth Derivatives of Carbonic Acids of Five-membered Heterocycles. Crystal and Molecular Structure of (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ Triorganoantimony- and triorganobismuth dicarboxylates R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 0, X = O, S, NH, NCH₃. M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) have been prepared by reaction of R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁; 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) or R₃BiCO₃ with the appropriate five-membered heterocyclic carboxylic acid. From vibrational data for all compounds a trigonal bipyramidal environment around M (two O atoms of unidendate carboxylate ligands in apical, three C atoms (of R) in equatorial positions) is proposed and also an additional weak interaction of O(=C) of each carboxylate group and M. The crystal structure determination of Ph₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ gives additional prove to this proposal. It crystallizes triclinic [space group P$1; a = 891.8(14), b = 1058.2(12), c = 1435.6(9) pm, α = 68.53(8), β = 85.47(9), γ = 85.99(11)°; Z = 2; d(calc.) = 1.607 Mg m^–3; V_cell = 1255.6 ų; structure determination from 3 947 independent reflexions (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(unweighted) = 0.037]. Sb is bonding to three C₆H₅ groups in the equatorial plane [mean distance Sb–C: 211.1(5) pm] and two unidentate carboxylate ligands in the apical positions of a distorted trigonal bipyramid [mean distance Sb–O: 212.0(4) pm]. From the relatively short Sb–O(=C) distances [274.4(4) and 294.9(4) pm] and from the enlarged value of the equatorial C–Sb–C angle next to the O(=C) atom [145.9(2)°; other C–Sb–C angles: 104.4(2), 109.5(2)°] additional weak Sb–O(=C) coordination is inferred. Finally a correlation between the (+, –) I-effect of the organic ligands It at M and the strength of the M–O = C interaction is suggested.

Synthese und Kristallstrukturen der heteronuklearen Nitrido‐Komplexe [(Me2PhP)3(MeCN)ClRe≡N–MCl5] mit M = Sn und Zr

Synthesis and Structures of the Dinuclear Nitrido Complexes [(Me₂PhP)₃(MeCN)ClRe≡N–MCl₅] with M = Sn and Zr The water sensitive complexes [(Me₂PhP)₃(MeCN)ClRe≡N–MCl₅] (M = Sn ( 1 ) und Zr ( 2 )) are obtained in dichloromethane from [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] and the acetonitrile adducts of SnCl₄ or ZrCl₄. The compounds crystallize as dichloromethane solvate isotypically with [(Me₂PhP)₃(MeCN)ClRe≡N–TiCl₅] · CH₂Cl₂ in the space group P2₁/n. From toluene crystallize monoclinic crystals of 1 · MeCN · C₇H₈. In the diamagnetic complexes 1 and 2 an anion [MCl₅]^– coordinates to the nitrido ligand of the cationic complex [ReNCl(MeCN)(PMe₂Ph)₃]⁺. The resulting nitrido bridges Re≡N–M are almost linear and asymmetric with Re–N = 169.5 pm, Sn–N = 230.1 pm and Re–N–Sn = 164.5° for 1 and Re–N = 168.4 pm, Zr–N = 237.2 pm and Re–N–Zr = 165.6° for 2 . The phosphine ligands at the Re atom are in a meridional arrangement.     

Two new thiophosphoramide structures: N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide and O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate

The compound N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide, C₁₈H₃₆N₃PS or P(S)[NHC₆H₁₁]₃, (I), crystallizes in the space group Pnma with the molecule lying across a mirror plane; one N atom lies on the mirror plane, whereas the bond‐angle sum at the other N atom has a deviation of some 8° from the ideal value of 360° for a planar configuration. The orientation of the atoms attached to this nonplanar N atom corresponds to an anti orientation of the corresponding lone electron pair (LEP) with respect to the P=S group. The P=S bond length of 1.9785 (6) Å is within the expected range for compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton; however, it is in the region of the longest bond lengths found for analogous structures. This may be due to the involvement of the P=S group in N—H...S=P hydrogen bonds. In O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate, C₁₀H₁₇N₂O₂PS or P(S)[OC₂H₅]₂[NHNHC₆H₅], (II), the bond‐angle sum at the N atom attached to the phenyl ring is 345.1°, whereas, for the N atom bonded to the P atom, a practically planar environment is observed, with a bond‐angle sum of 359.1°. A Cambridge Structural Database [CSD; Allen (2002). Acta Cryst. B 58 , 380–388] analysis shows a shift of the maximum population of P=S bond lengths in compounds with a P(S)[O]₂[N] skeleton to the shorter bond lengths relative to compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton. The influence of this difference on the collective tendencies of N...S distances in N—H...S hydrogen bonds for structures with P(S)[N]₃ and P(S)[O]₂[N] segments were studied through a CSD analysis.     

From a Phosphaketenyl‐Functionalized Germylene to 1,3‐Digerma‐2,4‐diphosphacyclobutadiene

The first 4π‐electron resonance‐stabilized 1,3‐digerma‐2,4‐diphosphacyclobutadiene [L^H₂Ge₂P₂] 4 (L^H=CH[CHNDipp]₂ Dipp=2,6‐ⁱPr₂C₆H₃) with four‐coordinate germanium supported by a β‐diketiminate ligand and two‐coordinate phosphorus atoms has been synthesized from the unprecedented phosphaketenyl‐functionalized N‐heterocyclic germylene [L^HGe‐P=C=O] 2 a prepared by salt‐metathesis reaction of sodium phosphaethynolate (P≡C?ONa) with the corresponding chlorogermylene [L^HGeCl] 1 a . Under UV/Vis light irradiation at ambient temperature, release of CO from the P=C=O group of 2 a leads to the elusive germanium–phosphorus triply bonded species [L^HGe≡P] 3 a , which dimerizes spontaneously to yield black crystals of 4 as isolable product in 67 % yield. Notably, release of CO from the bulkier substituted [L^tBuGe‐P=C=O] 2 b (L^tBu=CH[C(^tBu)N‐Dipp]₂) furnishes, under concomitant extrusion of the diimine [Dipp‐NC(^tBu)]₂, the bis‐N,P‐heterocyclic germylene [DippNC(^tBu)C(H)PGe]₂ 5 .     

Aluminum(III), gallium(III), and indium(III) 4-hydroxyacridinato complexes

4-Hydroxyacridine (HAcr) is an O,N-chelating ligand whose coordination chemistry toward group 13 M(III) ions has received little attention. The molecular structure of HAcr consists of a 2,3-disubstituted-8-hydroxyquinoline; thus, in order to compare 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ), 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (HMeQ′), and 2,3-disubstituted-8-hydroxyquinoline (HAcr) for steric and/or electronic influence, HAcr chelating ability toward the Al(III), Ga(III), and In(III) triad has been investigated. Irrespective of the nature of M(III), only complexes containing two equivalents of deprotonated HAcr are obtained. This article describes the synthesis and characterization of different series of bis-chelated pentacoordinated (Acr)₂MY (M = Al, Ga, In; Y = Cl, Br, I, NCS, N₃) or (Acr)₂MZ (M = Ga or In; HZ = C₆H₅OH, C₆H₁₃OC₆H₄OH, C₆H₅COOH, or C₆H₁₃OC₆H₄COOH) six-coordinate neutral (Acr)₂In(acac) (H(acac) =acetylacetone), or ionic [(Acr)₂In(N,N)][CF₃SO₃] (N,N = 2,2′-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline) complexes. These results significantly contribute to elucidating the complexation capability of HAcr.     

Neue nitridoverbrückte Dreikernkomplexe des Rheniums

New Trinuclear Rhenium Complexes with Bridging Nitrido Ligands Trinuclear complexes with bridging nitrido ligands between the rhenium atoms are formed when [ReN(Et₂dtc)₂ · (Me₂PhP)] (Et₂dtc^– = N,N‐diethyldithiocarbamate) reacts with TlCl or Pr(O₃SCF₃)₃. [Cl(Me₂PhP)₂(Et₂dtc)Re≡N–Re(N) · Cl₂(Me₂PhP)–N≡Re(Et₂dtc)(Me₂PhP)₂Cl] and [(Et₂dtc)₂ · (Me₂PhP)Re≡N–Re(N)(Et₂dtc)(Me₂PhP)–N≡Re(Me₂PhP) · (Et₂dtc)₂]⁺ contain two almost linear, asymmetric nitrido bridges. Additional, terminal nitrido ligands are located at the middle rhenium atoms.     

Corona[5]arenes Accessed by a Macrocycle-to-Macrocycle Transformation Route and a One-Pot Three-Component Reaction

Corona[5]arenes, a novel type of macrocyclic compound that is composed of alternating heteroatoms and para-arylenes, were synthesized efficiently by two distinct methods. In a macrocycle-to-macrocycle transformation approach, S₆-corona[3]arene[3]tetrazine underwent sequential S_NAr reactions with HS-C₆H₄-X-C₆H₄-SH (X=S, CH₂, CMe₂, SO₂, and O) to produce the corresponding corona[3]arene[2]tetrazines. Different corona[3]arene[2]tetrazine compounds were also constructed in a straightforward manner by a one-pot three-component reaction of HS-C₆H₄-X-C₆H₄-SH (X=S, CH₂, CMe₂, SO₂, and O) with diethyl 2,5-dimercaptoterephthalate and 2 equiv of 3,6-dichlorotetrazine under very mild conditions. All corona[5]arenes adopted 1,2,4-alternate conformational structures in the crystalline state yielding similar nearly regular pentagonal cavities. Both the cavity size and the electronic property of the acquired macrocycles were fine-tuned by the nature of the bridging element X.
