The reactions of some protected and unprotected monosaccharides with M(NO){HB(3,5-Me2C3HN2)3}X2 (M = Mo, X = Cl, Br, I; M = W, X = Cl)

The reactions between [M(NO){HB(3,5-Me₂C₃HN₂)₃}X₂] (M = Mo, X = Cl, Br, I; M = W, X = Cl) and the monosaccharides 2,3:4,5-di-O-iso-propylidene-β- -fructopyranose, 2,3:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-- -mannofuranose, methyl-- -glucopyranoside and -(+)-mannofuranose have been investigated and the complexes [M(NO){HB(3,5- Me₂C₃HN₂)₃}X(OR)] (M = Mo, X = Cl, Br, I; M = W, X = Cl; ROH = 2,3:4,5-di-O- isopropylidene-β- -fructopyranose) have been isolated as mixtures of diastereoisomers.     

Protolyses of (CH3)3SnM(CH3)3 (M = Sn,Ge, Si,C)

Product and kinetic studies on the reactions of hydrogen chloride in methanol solution with the substrates (CH₃)₃SnM(CH₃)₃ (M = Sn; Ge and Si) show that both SnM and SnCH₃ cleavage reactions occur, at similar rates, and are followed by other reactions giving complex but explicable mixtures of products. Similar behaviour is observed for trifluoroacetolysis in carbon tetrachloride solution, and some intermediates are observable. Trifluoroacetolysis of (CH₃)₃SnC(CH₃)₃ results in exclusive SnCH₃ cleavage. The very slow apparent solvolysis in acetic acid solution is thought to involve reaction with dissolved oxygen.     

Reactions of the carbonyl complexes M(CO)3(L)3 (L = py,M = Mo,W; L = NH3, M = Mo) and M(CO)4(2-Mepy)2 (M = Mo,W) with HgX2 (X = Cl,CN, SCN)

The reactions of the substituted Group VI metal carbonyls of the type M(CO)₄(2-Mepy)₂ (M = Mo, w) and M(CO)₃(L)₃ (L = py, M = Mo, W; L = NH₃, M = Mo) with mercuric derivatives HgX₂ (X = Cl, CN, SCN) have given rise to three series of tricarbonyl complexes: M(CO)₃(py)HgCl₂ · 1/2HgCl₂ (M = Mo, W); 2[M(CO)₃(L)]Hg(CN)·nHg(CN)_x (L = py, M = Mo, W, n = $\text{1}\text{2}$, × = 2; L = 2- Mepy, × = 1; M = Mo, n = 3; M = W, n = 1); and [M(CO)₃(L)Hg(SCN)₂ · nHg(SCN)₂] (L = py, M = Mo,W, n = 0; L = 2-Mepy, M = Mo, W, n = $\text{1}\text{2}$; L = NH₃, M = Mo, n = 0) depending on which mercuric compound is employed. All the reactions with Hg(SCN)₂ give isolable products whereas those with Hg(CN)₂ and HgCl₂ did so far only the reactions with [M(CO)₄(2-Mepy)₂] and M(CO)₃(py)₃. The greater reactivity of Hg(SCN)₂ than of Hg(CN)₂ and HgCl₂ is consistent with the various acceptor capacities of the groups bonded to the mercury atom.The reactions studied always involve displacement of the N-donor ligand of the original complex and partial or total displacement of the halide or pseudohalide groups of the mercury compound to give in all cases compounds containing MHg bonds. In addition, elimination of a CO group in the tetracarbonyl complexes M(CO)₄(2-Mepy)₂occurs.     

On the molecular structure of X-CF3 molecules (X = Cl,Br, I)

The average molecular structures of X-CF₃, molecules (X = Cl, Br, I) have been determined by combined use of electron diffraction and microwave data. Including results for X = H and X = F a strict correlation between C-F bond length and the electronegativity of the X atom is observed. This correlation can be nicely understood in terms of the electron distribution calculated in the CNDO/2 approximation. It is also observed that the change in the C-X bond length with substitution of the CF₃-group by a CH₃-group is strictly correlated with the electronegativity of the X atom.     

Darstellung und charakterisierung von verbindungen des typs (CH3)3ME(CF3)2 (M = Si,Ge, Sn; E = P,As)

Various preparative routes for the synthesis of (CH₃)₃SiP(CF₃)₂ are discussed. The most favourable method, reaction of (CH₃)₃MPH₂ with HE(CF₃)₂, provides a good yield of (CH₃)₃ME(CF₃)₂ compounds (M = Si, Ge, Sn; E = P, As). The reaction rate is dependent on M (Si < Ge <Sn) und E (P < As). The stability and reactivity of the (CH₃)₃ME(CF₃)₂ compounds are discussed. The new compounds were characterized by NMR and IR spectra and by cleavage reactions of the M-E bond. ¹H, ¹⁹F NMR and IR spectral data are reported.

The infrared and Raman vibrational spectra of X₃MCo(CO)₄ compounds (M = C, Ge and X = H, D, F), including depolarization measurements, are presented, and complete vibrational assignments are made.     

Single-crystal absorption spectra of CsVX3 (X = Cl,Br, I)

Polarized single-crystal absorption spectra of CsVCl₃, CsVBr₃ and CsVI₃ have been measured between 5000 and 30000 cm^?1 at temperatures ranging from 6 to 273 K. Spin-allowed transitions arise through a vibronic single-ion mechanism. Spin-forbidden transitions are strongly enhanced through an exchange intensity mechanism.     

Electric birefringences and solution-state conformations of molecules C6H5SM(CH3)3 ; M = C,Si, Ge or Sn

Dipole moment and electric birefringence studies are reported for the series of molecules C₆H₅SM(CH₃)₃ in cyclohexane solution; M = C, Si, Ge or Sn. The experimental data are analysed to determine the preferred solution-state conformations. The dihedral angles between the C₆H₅ and C_arSM planes are, in turn, 82 ± 11°, 80 ± 11°, 66 ± 12° and 46 ± 10°.     

Magnetism of the praseodymium halide thiosilicates Pr3X[SiS4]2 (X=Cl, Br, I)

The magnetism of the three compounds Pr₃X[SiS₄]₂ (X=Cl, Br, I) has been measured in the temperature range between 1.7 and 300 K. For the theoretical calculations to interpret the magnetic behavior the angular overlap model was employed to reproduce the ligand field influence and the molecular field approach to take magnetic interaction into account.     

Darstellung von Germanium-Mangan-, Germanium-Rhenium- und Zinn-Rhenium-Clustern des Typs M2(CO)8[μ-EXM(CO)5]2, (M = Mn,E = Ge,X = Br,I; M = Re,E = Ge bzw. Sn,X = I bzw. Cl,Br, I)

Preparation of Germanium-Manganese-, Germanium-Rhenium- and Tin-Rhenium-Clusters of the Type M₂(CO)₈[μ-EXM(CO)₅]₂ (M = Mn, E = Ge, X = Br, I; M = Re, E = Ge or Sn, X = I or Cl, Br, I) The clusters Re₂(CO)₈[μ-SnXRe(CO)₅]₂ are prepared by reaction of Re₂(CO)₁₀ and SnX₂ in a Schlenk-tube under release of pressure (X = Cl, Br, I) or in a sealed glass tube (X = Br, I). As central structural unit a four-membered Re₂Sn₂ ring has to be assumed. This unit can be opened again by reaction with CO under pressure. X₂Sn[Re(CO)₅]₂, which is also formed during the preparation of the clusters in dependance of the CO-pressure, indicates insertion of SnX₂ into the Re—Re bond to be the primary step. The corresponding clusters M₂(CO)₈[μ-GeXM(CO)₅]₂ (M = Mn, X = Br, I; M = Re, X = I) are prepared by reaction of GeI₂ and M₂(CO)₁₀ or of I₂Ge[Mn(CO)₅]₂ and Mn₂(CO)₁₀ or of Br₃GeMn(CO)₅ and BrMn(CO)₅. Ir frequencies of the new clusters are assigned.     

Nuclear quadrupole resonances of α-(CH3)2 TeX2 (X=Cl, Br, I) and (CH3)2 TeI4

NQR spectra were observed for α-(CH₃)₂ TeX₂ (X=Cl, Br, I) and (CH₃)₂ TeI₄ at various temperatures. The two ⁸¹Br NQR lines were observed above 110 K in α-(CH₃)₂TeBr₂. The characteristic temperature dependence of the ¹²⁷I NQR line in α-(CH₃)₂ TeI. can be explained by the 3c—4e bond of the linear I---Te---I group. The positive temperatures dependence of the lowest ¹²⁷I NQR line in (CH₃)₂TeI₄ is discussed on the basis of the electron population calculated from Townes—Dailey treatment.     

Vibrational spectra and analyses of MFe(CO)4 (M = Cd,Hg)

The IR and Raman spectra of the compounds CdFe(CO)₄ and HgFe(CO)₄, are reported and assigned using C_2v, local symmetry around the iron atom; vibrational analyses of the spectra have also been carried out. The spectroscopic data obtained indicate that the compounds are probably polymers with a centre of symmetry and an octahedral configuration about the iron atom in accordance with X-ray structural results.     

The syntheses and coordination properties of M(CO)3X(DAB) (M = Mn,Re; X = Cl,Br, I; DAB = 1,4-diazabutadiene)

M(CO)₅X (M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br, I) reacts with DAB (1,4-diazabutadiene = R₁N=C(R₂)C(R₂)′=NR′₁) to give M(CO)₃X(DAB). The ¹H, ¹³C NMR and IR spectra indicate that the facial isomer is formed exclusively. A comparison of the ¹³C NMR spectra of M(CO)₃X(DAB) (M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br, I; DAB = glyoxalbis-t-butylimine, glyoxyalbisisopropylimine) and the related M(CO)₄DAB complexes (M = Cr, Mo, W) with Fe(CO)₃DAB complexes shows that the charge density on the ligands is comparable in both types of d⁶ metal complexes but is slightly different in the Fe-d⁸ complexes. The effect of the DAB substituents on the carbonyl stretching frequencies is in agreement with the A′(cis) > A″ (cis) > A′(trans) band ordering.Mn(CO)₃Cl(t-BuNCHCHNt-Bu) reacts with AgBF₄ under a CO atmosphere yielding [Mn(CO)₄(t-BuNCHCHN-t-Bu)]BF₄. The cationic complex is isoelectronic with M(CO)₄(t-BuNCHCHNt-Bu) (M = Cr, Mo, W).     

DFT studies of structural preference of coordinated ethylene in W(CO)3(PX3)2(CH2CH2) (X=H, CH3, F, Cl, Br, and I)

A set of phosphine complexes of the type W(CO)₃(PX₃)₂(CH₂CH₂) (X=H, CH₃, F, Cl, Br, and I) were investigated by density functional theory method (BP86) to examine the effect of the substituent X on the orientation of C-C vector of the ethylene ligand with respect to one of the metal-ligand bonds as well as the donation and the backdonation in the bonding ligands of phosphine and ethylene. When X=CH₃, H, F, and Cl, the ethylene C-C vector prefers to be coplanar with metal-phosphine bonds, while for the ethylene complexes containing PBr₃ and PI₃ ligands, the structural preference is coplanarity of the ethylene and the metal-carbonyl bonds. The molecular orbital calculations and natural bond orbital analysis were used to examine the structural consequences derived from these complexes. It can be concluded that the structural preferences in the complexes have a clear relation to electronic effects of phosphine ligands. Our calculations for halide phosphine complexes, particularly for PBr₃ and PI₃, allow us to conclude that in addition to electronic effects, steric factors can also affect the orientation of the ethylene ligand in complexes.     

Negative ion mass spectra of Os3(CO)12X2 and Os3(CO)10X2 complexes (X = Br,I)

The negative-ion mass spectra at 70 eV of the compounds Os₃(CO)₁₂X₂ and Os₃(CO)₁₀X₂ (X =Br, I) are reported. Negative molecular ions are absent and only Os₃-containing fragments due to the loss of carbonyl groups are observed. [M  CO]^? is the base peak in the spectrum of Os₃(CO)₁₀I₂ and has a very high abundance in that of Os₃(CO)₁₀Br₂, whereas it is very weak in the spectra of Os₃(CO)₁₂X₂, where [M  3 CO]^? is the base peak. This change in the ionic intensities is related to the closed and open structure of the Os₃ unit in Os₃(CO)₁₀X₂ and Os₃(CO)₁₂X₂ respectively.     

Vibrational spectra and rotational barriers of methyl titanium halides CH3TiX3 and CD3TiX3 (X = Cl,Br, I)

The IR and Raman spectra of gaseous and solid CH₃TiX₃ and CD₃TiX₃ species (X = Cl, Br, I) are reported. The gas phase spectra have been recorded between 4000 and 20 cm^?1 at pressures of 1 atm and 4 atm at 350 K and the Raman spectra of the solid phase recorded at 4.2 K. Internal rotation barriers and thermodynamic functions have been calculated.     

Multiple ligand transfer reaction between [CpRu(L)(AN)2][PF6] (L=AN, CO, P(OMe)3; AN=acetonitrile) and CpFe(CO)L′X (L′=CO, PMe3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3, P(OPh)3; X=Cl, Br, I)

Treatment of ruthenium complexes [CpRu(AN)₃][PF₆] (1a) (AN=acetonitrile) with iron complexes CpFe(CO)₂X (2a–2c) (X=Cl, Br, I) and CpFe(CO)L′X (6a–6g) (L′=PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃; X=Cl, Br, I) in refluxing CH₂Cl₂ for 3 h results in a triple ligand transfer reaction from iron to ruthenium to give stable ruthenium complexes CpRu(CO)₂X (3a–3c) (X=Cl, Br, I) and CpRu(CO)L′X (7a–7g) (L′=PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃; X=Br, I), respectively. Similar reaction of [CpRu(L)(AN)₂][PF₆] (1b: L=CO, 1c: P(OMe)₃) causes double ligand transfer to yield complexes 3a–3c and 7a–7h. Halide on iron, CO on iron or ruthenium, and two acetonitrile ligands on ruthenium are essential for the present ligand transfer reaction. The dinuclear ruthenium complex 11a [CpRu(CO)(μ-I)]₂ was isolated from the reaction of 1a with 6a at 0°C. Complex 11a slowly decomposes in CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature to give 3a, and transforms into 7a by the reaction with PMe₃.     

Electronic structure and vibrational spectra of X20H20 (X=C, Si, Ge, Sn): A theoretical study

Optimized geometries, HOMO–LUMO gaps, vertical ionization potentials and electron affinities are obtained using HF, and B3LYP methods with 6-311G** basis set for C₂₀H₂₀, Si₂₀H₂₀ and Ge₂₀H₂₀. For germanium and tin analogues, B3LYP calculations are performed with LANL2DZ effective core potential. Electron correlation is included by doing MP2 calculation. The harmonic frequencies of all the compounds are obtained using B3LYP with 6-311G** and/or LANL2DZ basis sets. The force field and vibrational spectra are analyzed and 74 symmetry unique non-redundant local force constants are evaluated. Probable assignments are proposed for all the fundamentals based on the potential energy distribution.     

Infrared,raman and nmr study of (Ch2CH)3Snx compounds (X = Cl,Br, I)

The infrared, Raman and (¹H, ¹³C) NMR spectra of trivinyltin chloride, bromide and iodide have been analyzed and discussed. The vibrational assignment has been confirmed by an approximate normal coordinate analysis. Evidence has been found for a marked influence of the X substituent on the tin-carbon bond due to isovalent rehybridization. Variations in the π electron system of the vinyl group are hardly significant.
