(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).

Komplexchemie P-reicher Phosphane und Silylphosphane. IV. Bildung und Struktur der Chromcarbonylkomplexe des Tris(di-tert-butylphospha)heptaphosphanortricyclans, (t-Bu2P)3P7

Transition Metal Complexes of P-rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. IV. Formation and Structure of the Chromium Carbonyl Complexes of Tris(di-tert-butylphospha)heptaphosphanortricyclane (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇ The reaction of (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇ 1 with Cr(CO)₅ · THF in a molar ratio of 1:1 yields yellow crystals of (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅] 2 having the Cr(CO)₅ group coordinated to a P^b atom (basal) of the three membered ring. With a molar ratio of 1:2 compounds 2 , (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ 3 , (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄] 4 and (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₄]₂ 5 were obtained. In 3 (yellow crystals) one Cr(CO)₅ group is linked to a P^b atom, the other one to an exocyclic P^exo atom. On irradiation 3 loosing one CO group generates 4 (orange red crystals) with an unchanged Cr(CO)₅ group linked to the Pb atom and a five membered chelate-like ring containing an apical Pa atom, two equatorial P^a atoms, one P^exo atom and the Cr atom of the carbonyl group. Compound 5 (orange red crystals) contains two such five membered rings. (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₄]₃ 6 (red needles) is formed with Cr(CO)₅ · THF in a molar ratio of 1 : 1. However, even with higher amounts of Cr(CO)₅ · THF and after extended reaction times, only 6 is formed; no further Cr carbonyl group could be attached to the P skeleton. With Cr(CO)₅ · NBD in a molar ratio of 1 : 1, (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₄] 7 is produced from 1, and 5 with a molar ratio of 2 : 1. As in 4, the Cr(CO)₄ group in 7 (orange crystals) participates in a five membered chelate-like ring. It was not possible to generate 6 from 5 with an excess of Cr(CO)₄ · NBD and with extended reaction times. The molecular structures of the compounds were identified by investigating the ³¹P[¹H] NMR spec-tra and considering especially the coordination shift, and by crystal structure determinations of 2 and 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in the space group PI (no.2) with a = 1566.2(4) pm, b = 2304.1(5) pm, c = 1563.3(4) pm,α = 95.57(3)°, β = 108.79(3)°, γ = 109.82(4)° and Z = 4 formula units in the elementary cell. Compound 4 crystallizes in the space group P 2₁ /n (no. 14) with a = 1416.6(5) pm, b = 2573.6(5) pm, c = 1352.9(4) pm,β = 99.17(5)° and Z = 4 formula units in the elementary cell.

P-P[Cr(CO)₅]₂(SiMe₃)} Deep red crystals of the title compound 1 are produced in the reaction of LiP(Me₃Si)₂[Cr(CO)₅] with 1, 2-dibromoethane in DME. 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.

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.

P?P(Br)tBu₂ 3 A new method for the synthesis of 1 and 2 (Formulae see ?Inhaltsübersicht”?) is reported based on the reaction of 5 with substitution reagents (Me₂SO₄ or CH₃Cl). The results of the X-ray structure determination of 1 and 2 are given and compared with those of 3 . While in 3 one P? P distance corresponds to a double bond and the other P? P distance to a single bond (difference 12.5 pm) the differences of the P? P distances in 1 and 2 are much smaller: 5.28 pm in 1 , 4.68 pm in 2 . Both 1 and 2 crystallize monoclinic in the space group P2₁/n (Z = 4). 2 additionally contains two disordered molecules of the solvent pentane in the unit cell. Parameters of 1 : a = 884.32(8) pm, b = 1 924.67(25) pm, c = 1 277.07(13) pm, β = 100.816(8)°, and of 2 : a = 1 101.93(12) pm, b = 1 712.46(18) pm, c = 1 395.81(12) pm, β = 111.159(7)°, all data collected at 143 K. The skeleton of the three P atoms is bent (PPP angle 100.95° for 1 , 100.29° for 2 and 105.77° for 3 ). Ab initio SCF calculations are used to discuss the bonding situation in the molecular skeleton of the three P atoms of 1 and 3 . The results show a significant contribution of the ionic structure R₂P? P(^?)? P(⁺)(X)R₂. The structure with (partially) charged P atoms is stabilized by bulky polarizable groups R (as tBu) as compared to the fully covalent structure R₂P? P(X)? PR₂.

Mono- and Di-t-Butylcyclopentadienyl Carbonyl Complexes of Iron and Molybdenum — Crystal Structure of [Cp″Mo(CO)₂]₂ (Cp″ = n⁵-C₅H₃-t-Bu₂-1,3) Cothermolysis of M(CO)_m (M = Fe, m = 5; M = Mo, m = 6) with t-Bu-substituted cyclopentadienyls constitutes a simple synthesis of complexes of the type [Cp*M(CO)_n]₂ (CP* = n⁵-C₅H₃ (t-Bu), R, R = H, t-Bu; M = Fe, Mo; n = 2, 3). Each synthesis has an optimal temperature. The yield of Fe complexes decreases at temperatures above 130°C because of decomposition of the product. Optimal yields of [Cp*Mo(CO)₃]₂ are obtained at 130–140°C, whereas at 160°C complexes of the type [Cp*Mo(CO)₂]₂ with formal Mo? Mo triple bonds are obtained. The structure of the complexes is discussed on the basis of ¹H-, ¹³C-NMR, IR, and mass spectrometry. The structure of [Cp″Mo(CO)₂]₂ (Cp″ = n⁵-C₅H₃t-Bu₂-1,3) was determined by X-ray crystallography at ?95°C.

Mo bond length of 253.3 pm is very long for a formal triple bond. The Cp″? Mo? Mo? Cp″ axis is non-linear.

The Au? Au distances range from 272.2(4) to 301.3(4) pm. The Mo(CO)₄ group causes three v(C0) at 1975, 1915 and 1890cm^?1. Reaction of Ph₃PAuCo(CO)₄ with Ph₃PAuPF₆ affords the known cluster cation [(Ph₃PAu)₄Co(CO)₃]⁺ in high yield. 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.
