Synthesis,X-ray diffraction structure,and redox chemistry of Re<Subscript>2</Subscript>(CO)<Subscript>8</Subscript>(bmf)

The reaction between Re₂(CO)₈(μ-H)(μ-η¹,η²-CH=CHBu) (1) and the diphosphine ligand 3,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)-5-methoxy-2(5H)-furanone (bmf) proceeds at room temperature to give the dirhenium compound Re₂(CO)₈(bmf) (2) as the sole observable product in good yield after 24 h. Re₂(CO)₈(bmf) has been isolated and characterized in solution by IR and NMR (³¹P and ¹H) spectroscopies, and the molecular structure of Re₂(CO)₈(bmf) has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The solid-state structure of 2 reveals a bridging bmf ligand that spans the Re=Re vector and whose Re(CO)₄ moieties exhibit a staggered rotational geometry about the equatorial phosphine and CO groups. The redox properties of Re₂(CO)₈(bmf) have been explored by cyclic voltammetry in CH₂Cl₂, where an irreversible oxidation was found at E_p^a = 1.04 V, along with a reversible, one-electron reduction at E_1/2 = −1.23 V. These redox couples have been assigned to the oxidation of the Re=Re σ bond and electron occupation of the π^∗ system associated with the furanone ring of Re₂(CO)₈(bmf), respectively. The electrochemical behavior is discussed relative to the nature of the HOMO and LUMO levels in the model compound Re₂(CO)₈(H₄-bmf), whose HOMO and LUMO compositions have been established by extended Hückel MO calculations. The electrochemistry and MO data from Re₂(CO)₈(bmf) are contrasted with the structurally similar dirhenium compound Re₂(CO)₈(bma).     

Synthesis,redox properties,and X-ray diffraction structure of the platinum catecholate complex Pt(1,5-COD)(1,2-O2C6H4)

The new compound Pt(1,5-COD)(1,2-O₂C₆H₄)(1) (where COD=cyclooctadiene) has been prepared from the reaction between Pt(1,5-COD)Cl₂ and the disodium salt of catechol. Pt(1,5-COD)(1,2-O₂C₆H₄) has been isolated and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, which confirms the monomeric nature of this compound and the chelating mode adopted by the ancillary 1,5-COD and catecholate ligands. Pt(1,5-COD)(1,2-O₂C₆H₄) crystallized in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/n,a=10.208(1) Å,b=10.3829(8) Å,c=11.473(2) Å, =103.817(9)°,V=1180.9(2) ų,Z=4,d _calc=2.314 g·cm^–3;R=0.0307,R _w =0.0445 for 1216 observed reflections withI>3(I). Cyclic voltammetric studies on1 reveal an irreversible oxidation (E _p ^a =0.78 V) and an irreversible reduction (E _p ^c =–1.99 V) in CH₂Cl₂ solution. The nature of the HOMO and LUMO in Pt(1,5-COD)(1,2-O₂C₆H₄) was examined by using the model compound Pt(ethylene)₂(1,2-O₂C₆H₄), with the results discussed relative to compound1.

In order to investigate the intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition, we prepared some new tertiary N-(5-substituted-2-furfuryl)-N-prop-2-ynyl-p-toluidines [Hergold-Brundić et al., Acta Cryst C56:e520, 2000; Mance and Jakopčić, Mol Divers 9:229, 2005; Mance, “unpublished results”] by the alkylation of secondary N-(5-substituted-2-furfuryl)-p-toluidines with the propargyl-bromide [Mance and Šindler-Kulyk, Synth Commun 26:923, 1996]. In the course of preparation of N-(5-methoxy-2-furfuryl)-N-prop-2-ynyl-p-toluidine [Mance, “unpublished results”], besides the main product (compound 1) (Scheme 1) we obtained N,N-di(prop-2-ynyl)-p-toluidine (compound 2) as the colourless crystals. The title compound 2, N,N-di(prop-2-ynyl)-p-toluidine, C₁₃H₁₃N, crystallizes in monoclinic C 2/c space group with unit cell parameters: a = 19.5319(9) ?, b = 7.5230(3) ?, c = 15.9000(7) ?, β = 112.554(5)°, V = 2157.64(18) ?³, Z = 8. The crystal structure is dominated by van der Waals forces only. The bond distances around amine N atom correspond to σ dominated bonds (1.467(2), 1.462(2) and 1.419(2) ?). The angles sum around amine N atom is in accord with sp³ hybridization (343°).

Specific stereochemical features of metallochelate complexes with tridentate <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N,N</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>,O)-donating ligands

Earlier X-ray diffraction studies of a series of 12 adducts (I–XII) between metallochelate complexes [M = Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II)] with tridentate N,N,N(N,N,O)-donating Schiff bases (L) and monodentate or bidentate ligands (L′) revealed a similarity in the stereochemistry of these compounds. The coordination polyhedron of metal atoms in compounds I–XII is a tetragonal pyramid (bipyramid) with two vertices occupied competitively. The L ligand occupies three coordination sites in the base of the pyramid. The L′ ligand approaches the metal atom, as a rule, in a direction perpendicular to the basal plane. The fourth site in the base of the pyramid and the apical vertex are occupied competitively. Different patterns of occupation of these positions are observed: they include the donor atoms of both the L and L′ ligands.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis(<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-alkyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-phenyl dithiocarbamato)mercury(II)

Abstract  

The mixed ligand dithiocarbamate complex was synthesized by the reaction between the ammonium salt of the dithiocarbamate ligands with mercury salt. There are two mercury complexes in the asymmetric unit with a compositional disorder between an ethyl group and a methyl group. A distorted tetrahedral geometry is found for each mercury atom defined by four sulphur atoms derived from two asymmetrically chelating dithiocarbamate ligands. IR spectra show thioureide υ(C–N) bands at 1491 cm⁻¹ which is higher than observed in the simple complexes of the same ligands. The effect of alkyl substituents were observed in the magnetic unequivalence of the thioureide and phenyl units in the NMR spectroscopy. The molecules are related to each other by virtue of the compositional disorder which exists at three positions in the alkyl group across the unit. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 10.4764(10) ?, b = 11.0433(10) ?, c = 18.5566(17) ?, α = 97.8980(10)^°, β = 95.3340(10)^°, γ = 110.3010(10)^°, and Z = 2.
