Komplexchemie P-reicher Phosphane und Silylphosphane. IX. Chromcarbonyl-Komplexe silyliert-alkylierter Triphosphane

Transition Metal Complexes of P-rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. IX. Chromium Carbonyl Complexes of Silylated and Alkylated Triphosphanes . To investigate the influence of the substituents on the formation of complex compounds of triphosphanes several derivatives were synthesized which differ in the number and position of the Me₃Si and tBu groups at the primary P atoms and which bear H, Me₃Si, Me of Ph groups at the secondary P atom. These are [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂PH 1 , [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂P(SiMe₃) 2 , (MeSi)(tBu)P? P(H)? P(SiMe₃)₂ 3 , (tBu)₂P? P(SiMe₃)? P(tBu)(SiMe₃) 4 , [(tBu)₂P]₂PH 5 , [(tBu)₂P]₂P(SiMe₃) 6 , [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂PMe 7 , [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂P(Ph) 8 . When reacting these compounds with Cr(CO)₅THF 9 the following groups of products are obtained: Compounds 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 at first yield products of group A and react on to B; however this second step is not important for 7 and even less for 8. Compounds 2, 4 and 6 bearing a Me₃Si group at the secondary P atom yield C, but their reactivity is strongly reduced and they tend to give byproducts. Using a molar ratio of triphosphane: Cr(CO),THF 9 = 1 : 2 A forms also D in addition to B . Further reactions may occur from A and B , e. g., at 50°C 1 b ( B ) decomposes to 1 and lc (E). With Cr(CO),NBD the compounds 1, 5, 7 and 8 form products of groups E and F. At ?18°C 7 forms 7c (E) which rearranges at 75°C to 7d (F). The compounds are characterized by ³¹P and ¹H NMR spectra, mass spectra and elemental analysis.     

Silylphosphane mit Adamantan-Struktur durch Umsetzung von P4 und Na/K mit Dichlorsilanen sowie deren 31P-NMR-Spektren

Silylphosphanes with an Admantane Skeleton Formed in Reactions of P₄ and Na/K with Dichlorsilanes, and their ³¹P NMR Spectra The reactions of P₄ and Na/K (molar ratio 1:3) with EtMeSiCl₂, Et₂SiCl₂, and PhMeSiCl₂ give access to the silylphosphanes with adamantane structure (EtMeSi)₆P₄ 1 , (Et₂Si)₆P₄ 2 , and (PhMeSi)₆P₄ 3 . Likewise, the Si-functional adamantanes [Vinyl(Me)Si]₆P₄ 4 , (MeHSi)₆P₄ 5 , and (MeHSi)(Et₂Si)₆P₄ 6 can be obtained by the reaction of alkali phosphides with Vinyl(Me)SiCl₂, MeHSiCl₂, or Et₂SiCl₂/MeHSiCl₂ (molar ratio 5:1), respectively. The compounds form colorless crystals ( 3 crystallies reluctantly). The reactions of the alkali phosphides with t-Bu₂SiCl₂ and Ph₂SiCl₂ do not lead to the corresponding adamantanes; t-Bu₂SiCl₂ doesn't react product mixture of the more reactive Ph₂SiCl₂ traces of (Ph₂Si)₆P₄ could not be detected. The ³¹P-NMR-spectra of the compounds 1–6 are interpreted.

Transition Metal Complexes of P-rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. VIII. Concerning the Different Tendencies of Silylated and Alkylated Phosphanes and Diphosphanes to Form Chromium Carbonyl Complexes The influence of the substituents Me₃Si tBu and Me in phosphanes and diphosphanes on the formation of complex compounds with Cr(CO)₅THF is investigated. tBu(Me₃Si)P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 1 and (tBu)₂P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 2, resp., react with Cr(CO)₅THF 4 at ?18°C by coordinating Cr(CO)₅ to the P(SiMe₃)₂ group to give tBu(Me₃Si)P? P^IV(SiMe₃), · Cr(CO)₅ 1 a, tBu(Me₃Si)P^IV? P^IV(SiMe₃)₂ · Cr(CO)₄ 1b and (tBu)₂P? P^IV(SiMe₃)₂ · Cr(CO)₅ 2a . In the reaction of 1 with 4 using a molar ratio of 1:2 at first 1 a is formed which reacts on to yield completely 1 b. In a mixture of the dissolved compounds (Me₃Si)₃P 5, (tBu)₃P 6 and (tBu)₃P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 2 only 5 and 6 react with Cr(CO)₅THF yielding (Me₃Si)₃P · Cr(CO)₅ and (tBu)₃P · Cr(CO)₅, but 2 does not yet react. In a solution of (Me₃Si)₃P 5, P₂Me₄ 7 and (Me₃Si)₂P? PMe₂ 3 only 5 and 7 react with Cr(CO)₅THF (0.25 to 1.5 equivalents with respect to 3) to give (Me₃Si)₃P · Cr(CO)₅, P₂Me₄ · Cr(CO)₅ and P₂Me₄ · 2Cr(CO)₅. The formation of complexes with Cr(CO)₅THF of the phosphanes 5 and 6 is clearly favoured as compared to the silylated diphosphanes 2 and 3 (not to P₂Me₄); the PR₂ groups (R = tBu, Me in 2 or 3 ) don't have a strong influence.     

Zur Bildung cyclischer Silylphosphane Umsetzung von Li-Phosphiden mit R2SiCl2 (R = Me,Et, t-Bu)

Formation of Cyclic Silylphosphanes. Reaction of Li-Phosphides with R₂SiCl₂ (R? Me, Et, t-Bu) The reaction of Me₂SiCl₂ with Li-phosphides (mixture of LiPH₂, Li₂PH) leads to the formation of Me₂Si(PH₂)Cl 1 , Me₂Si(PH₂)₂ 2 , H₂P? SiMe₂? PH? SiMe₂Cl 3 , (H₂P? SiMe₂)₂PH 4 , (HP? SiMe₂)₃ 6 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 40 . Excess of phosphides in Et₂O – as well as excess of LiPH₂ – favourably forms 10 . Li₂PH (virtually free of Li₃P and LiPH₂) is obtained by reaction of LiPH₂ · DME with LiBu; Li₃P by reaction of PH₃ with LiBu in toluene. Isomerization by Li/H migration determines the course of reaction of the PH-bearing compounds with Li-phosphides. With Me₂SiCl₂ Li₃P mainly generates compound 10 . The reaction of the Li-phosphides with Et₂SiCl₂ mainly leads to (HP? SiEt₂)₃ 18 and (HP? SiEt₂)₂ 17 as well as to Et₂Si(PH₂)Cl 11 , Et₂Si(PH₂)₂ 12 , (ClEt₂Si)₂PH 13 , H₂P? SiEt₂? PH? SiEt₂Cl 14 , (H₂P? SiEt₂)₂PH 15 and 16 . In the reaction with LiPH₂ · DME the same compounds are obtained and isomerization by Li/H migration (formation of PH₃) already begins at ?70°C. In toluene ClEt₂Si? P(SiEt₂)₂P? SiEt₂Cl is additionally formed. Derivatives of 9, 10, 40 are not observed. The reaction of (t-Bu)₂SiCl₂ with LiPH₂ leads to HP[Si(t-Bu)₂]₂PH 20 (yield 76%) and formation of PH₃, the reaction with Li₂PH to 20 (54%) besides HP[Si(t-Bu)₂]₂PLi 21 .     

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.     

Komplexchemie at P-reicher Phosphane und Silylphosphane. VI. Bildung und Struktur der Chromcarbonylkomplexe des Tris(trimethylsilyl) heptaphosphanortricyclans (Me3Si)3P7

Formation and Structures of Chromium Carbonyl Complexes of Tris(trimethylsily)heptanortricyclane (Me₃Si)₃P₇ (Me₃Si)₃P₇ 1 reacts with one equivalent of Cr(Co)₅THF 2 to give the yellow (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(Co)₅] 4. The Cr(Co)₅group is attached to a P^e atom. Yellow (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ 5 is obtained either from reacting 1 with two equivalents of 2 , or from 4 with one equivalent of 2. One Cr(CO)₅ groups in 5 is coordinated to a P^e atom, the other one to a P,^b atom. Similarly, Yellow (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₃ 6 results from reacting 5 with one equivalent of 2 . Two Cr(CO)₅ groups in 6 are linked to P^b atoms, and the third one either to a P^e or the P^a atom (assignment not completely clear). Derivatives containing a P^e bridge appear in reactions of 1 with higher amounts of 2 . Such, 5 forms mixtures of the red compounds (Me₃Si)₃P₇ × [Cr(CO)₅]₂[Cr(CO)₄] 8 and (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅] × [Cr(CO)₄] 9 , and even preferably 9 with four equivalents of 2 . In 8 , one Cr(CO)₅ group is attached to that p^e atom which is not engaged in the Cr(CO)₄ bridge, and the second to one of the P^b atoms directly adjacent to the bridge. The additional Cr(CO)₅ group in 9 is coordinated to the remaining P^b atom directly adjacent to the bridge. In reactions of 5 with even higher amounts of 2 , four Cr(CO)₅ groups and one Cr(CO)₄ bridge attach to the basic P₇ skeleton to from the less stable Me₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₄[Cr(CO)₄]. (Me₃Si)₃P₇ 1 reacts considerably slower with Cr(CO)₅THF 2 than R₃P₇ (R = Et, iPr). Cr(CO)₄NBD 3 reacts with 1 , but it was not possible to isolate (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₄]. However, 4 with 3 forms (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄] 7 , and 5 with 3 yields (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂[Cr(CO)₄] 8 . The structures of 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 or 9 are quite analogous to those of the derivatives of Et₃P₇ but there exist significant differences in stability and reactivity. While Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ in solution rearranges to give the stable Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄], the analogous (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅][Cr(CO)₄] 7 is not stable and is not obtained from (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ 5 . Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)5]₃ can just be detected spectroscopically and rearranges easily to give Et₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₂ [Cr(CO)₄] whereas (Me₃Si)₃P₇[Cr(CO)₅]₃ 6 can be isolated. These differences are caused by the greater steric requirements of Me₃Si groups. The formation of a P^e–Cr(CO)₄–P^e bridge, e.g., requires a Me₃Si group in 1 to switch from the s to the as position. Whereas many of the complex compounds of R₃P₇ (R = Et, iPr) crystallize easily, the analogous derivatives of (Me₃Si)₃P₇ did not yield crystals. The structures of the products were assigned by evaluating the coordination shift in their ₃₁P NMR spectra and by comparision of these spectra with those of such derivatives of Et₃P₇ which previously had been investigated by single crystal structure determinations.

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.

Transition Metal Complexes of P-rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. X. The Influence of the Formation of Complex Compounds on the Reactivity of [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂PH Whereas [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂PH 1 by BuLi is attacked at the PH group to give [(Me₃Si)₂P]₂PLi 2 , the related chromium carbonyl complex (Me₃Si)P^IV ? ²P^IV(H) ? ³P^III(Si? Me₃)₂ · Cr(CO)₄ 3 with BuLi yields Li(Me₃Si)¹P^IV ? ²P^IV(H) ? ³P^III(SiMe₃)₂ · Cr(CO)₄ 4 by cleaving a Si? P bond at the chromium substituted ¹P atom. Dissolved in ether, 4 is stable for a longer time, while under comparable conditions 2 forms Li₃P₇ which is not obtained from 4 . MeOH in 3 cleaves selectively the Me₃Si groups from the complex substituted P atom yielding (Me₃Si)(H)¹P^IV ? ²P^IV(H) ? ³P^III(SiMe₃)₂ · Cr(CO)₄ 5 and HP^IV ? ²P^IV(H) ? ³P^III(SiMe₃)₂Cr(CO)₄ 6. 5 and 6 seem to be stable in contrast to the uncoordinated triphosphanes which are not known.

Compound 1 crystallizes triclinic in the space group P1 (no. 2) with a = 1076.80(8) pm, b = 1344.61(8) pm, c = 1381.16(9) pm, α = 81.773(6)°, β; = 85,110(8), γ = 88,776(7).

The two cis‐^tBu₂P substituents of the cyclotriphosphane, which results from the trimerization of the phosphinophosphinidene ^tBu₂P–P, are coordinating to a Ni(CO)₂ unit forming a five‐membered P₄Ni chelate ring. The trans‐^tBu₂P group is linked to a Ni(CO)₃ unit. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca (No. 61) with a = 933.30(5), b = 2353.2(1) and c = 3474.7(3) pm.

Complex Compounds (t-Bu)₃P₉ · Cr(CO)₅ and (t-Bu)₃P₉ · 2 Cr(CO)₅ Derived from Nonaphosphane (3) (t-Bu)₃P₉ The reaction of (t-Bu)₃P₉ 1 with Cr(CO)₅ · THF in a molar ratio of 1:1 yields (t-Bu)₃P₉ · Cr(CO)₅ 2 (yellow crystals) with the Cr(CO)₅ group coordinated to an equatorial P atom of the P₉ skeleton. In the reaction of 1 with 2 moles of Cr(CO)₅ · THF the complex product (t-Bu)₃P₉ · 2 Cr(CO)₅ 3 is formed with the second Cr(CO)₅ group linked to a basal P atom. Evidence for this comes from ³¹P NMR spectra as well as from crystal structure determinations of 2 and 3.2 crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with a = 1012,9(2) pm, b = 2961,9(4) pm, c = 983,2(2) pm, β = 101,41(2)° and Z = 4 formula units. 3 crystallizes on the space group Pbcn with a = 2675,8(8) pm, b = 1222,4(2)pm, c = 2212,3 pm and Z = 8. In 2 and 3 the equatorial P atoms opposite to the P₂ dumbbell are complexed. The further complexation in 3 takes place at a basal P atom in Z-arrangement. The distances d(P Cr) are 243.5(1) pm and 240.5(1) pm and 240.5(1) pm for the equatorial P atoms in bf 2 and 3, respectively. For the basal P atom is 3 the distance in 235.7 pm. The P P distance range from 217.5 to 223.0 pm with the shorter ones at the bridgehead atom and the longer one at the P₂ dumbbell. The structures are discussed with that of the free ligand.

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.     

Untersuchungen zur Reaktionsfähigkeit der höheren Silylphosphane (me3Si)4P2, [(me3Si)2P]2PH, [(me3Si)2P]2P–Sime3 und (me3Si)3P7

Investigations Concerning the Reactivity of the Higher Silylphosphanes (me₃Si)₄P₂, [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PH, [(me₃Si)₂P]₂P—Sime₃, and (me₃Si)₃P₇ The reaction of (me₃Si)₂P? P(Sime₃)₂ 1 in ether solutions (THF, monoglyme) with t-buLi (me ? CH₃; t-bu ? (CH₃)₃C) yields (me₃Si)₃P, (me₃Si)₂PLi and Li₃P₇ via (me₃Si)₂P? P(Li) (Sime₃) 4 . Already at ?40° (me₃Si)₃P₂Li 4 decomposes yielding (me₃Si)₂PLi, Li₃P₇ and (me₃Si)₃P. The metallation of (me₃Si)₃P₂H with t-buLi leads to the same results. t-buLi with [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PH 2 in pentane forms [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PLi, which reacts on with meCl or me₃SiCl to [(me₃Si)₂P]₂Pme or [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PSime₃, resp. On addition of monoglyme to a suspension of [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PLi in pentane, or by treating [(me₃Si)₂P]₂PH in ethers with t-buLi (me₃Si)₂PLi, Li₃P₇, (me₃Si)₃P, are formed. The same compounds are generated by reacting [(me₃Si)₂P]₂P—Sime₃ in ethers with t-buLi. The metallation of (me₃Si)₃P₇ in ethers with t-buLi yields (me₃Si)₂PLi, (me₃Si)₃P, (t-bu)₃P₄?(Sime₃), Li₃P₇ and a red solid. The formation of (me₃Si)₂P₇Li is the first step of this reaction.

P(Me)^tBu₂ 3 with [η²-{H₂C ? CH₂}Pt(PPh₃)₂] 6 or [η²-{H₂C ? CH₂}Pt(PEtPh₂)₂] 7 , respectively. Compound 1 is less stable than 2 and reacts on to [η²-{^tBu₂P? P} Pt(PPh₃)(P^tBu₂Me)] 10 with the coincidently formed ^tBu₂PMe. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 were derived from their ¹H and ³¹P-NMR spectra, 2 was additionally characterized by a X ray structure determination. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1222.36(7) pm, b = 1770.7(1) pm, c = 1729.7(1) pm, β = 108.653(6)°.     

Komplexchemie P‐reicher Phosphane und Silylphosphane. XXII. Die Bildung von [η2‐{tBu–P=P–SiMe3}Pt(PR3)2]aus (Me3Si)tBuP–P=P(Me)tBu2 und [η2‐{C2H4}Pt(PR3)2]

Coordination Chemistry of P‐rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. XXII. The Formation of [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PR₃)₂] from (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ and [η²‐{C₂H₄}Pt(PR₃)₂] (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P = P(Me)^tBu₂ reacts with [η²‐{C₂H₄}Pt(PR₃)₂] yielding [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PR₃)₂]. However, there is no indication for an isomer which would be the analogue to the well known [η²‐{^tBu₂P–P}Pt(PPh₃)₂]. The syntheses and NMR data of [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PPh₃)₂] and [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PMe₃)₂] as well as the results of the single crystal structure determination of [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PPh₃)₂] are reported.
