Crystal structures of [Rh(η-C5H5)(C3S5)] and [Rh(η-C5Me5)(C3S5)]2 and properties of their oxidized species

[Rh(η⁵-C₅H₅)(C₃S₅)] and [Rh(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(C₃S₅)]₂ [C₃S₅²⁻=4,5-disulfanyl-1,3-dithiole-2-thionate(2-)] were prepared by reactions of [NMe₄]₂[C₃S₅] with [Rh(η⁵-C₅H₅)Cl₂]₂ and [Rh(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Cl₂]₂, respectively. Their X-ray crystal structural analyses revealed a monomeric form for the former complex and a dimeric geometry containing bridging S-Rh-S bonds for the latter in the solid state. They were reacted with bromine to afford [RhBr(L)(C₃S₅)] (L=η⁵-C₅H₅ and η⁵-C₅Me₅) with the Rh-Br bond and one electron-oxidation on the C₃S₅ ligand. ESR spectra and spin densities for these oxidized species are discussed.     

An electrochemical study of (η-C5H5)2Ti(NCS)2

The reduction of titanocene dithiocyanate in various solvents has been examined using the techniques of polarography, voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis and cyclic voltammetry. In THF and CH₂Cl₂, Cp₂Ti(NCS)₂ undergoes successive one-electron transfer reactions, and by using a combination of electrochemical and EPR techniques it has been possible to confirm the stability of [Cp₂Ti(NCS)₂]^? in these solvents. In DMF, however, an irreversible dimerization follows the first electron transfer.     

Preparation and properties of (η-C5H5)2ZrCl[Si(CH3)3] and (η-C5H5)2Zr[Si(CH3)3]2; trimethylsilyl group transfer from mercury to zirconium

Two silyl-zirconium compounds (η-C₅H₅)₂ZrCl[Si(CH₃)₃] (I) and (η-C₅H₅)₂-Zr[Si(CH₃)₃]₂ (II), have been prepared by the reaction of (η-C₅H₅)₂ZrCl₂ with Hg[Si(CH₃)₃]₂ in refluxing benzene. While I is unreactive toward 1-hexyne (55–60°C) and CO (350 psi), the zirconiumsilicon bond is cleaved by electrophiles such as Cl₂, HgCl₂, and AlCl₃.

en Two differnt crystal modifications of hexaphenyldigermanium sulfide (C₆H₅GeSGe(C₆H₅)₃ (I and II were obtained by crystallization from hot benzene/methanol or form ethanol at 20°C. Single crystal X-ray structural analyses for both I (low temperature data at ?130°C) and II (at 20°C) (I, R = 0.046; II, R = 0.048) were performed.

Bond data for I(II) are: GeS 2.212(1) and 2.261(1) » (2.227(2) and 2.240(2) »); GeC 1.933(4) ? 1.971(4), mean 1.945(5) » (1.931(7)?1.954(7), mean 1.943(4) »); GeSGe 111.2(1)° (110.7(1)°).

Ethylene-butadiene copolymerization with three-component catalyst systems Al[N(CH3)2]3, Al(C2H5)Cl2 and vanadium chlorides

The ethylene butadiene copolymerization with systems of three components Al[N(CH₃)₂]₃, Al(C₂H₅)Cl₂ and VOCl₃ or VCl₄, is described. In the resulting copolymers, the butadiene units are substantially in trans-1,4 configuration. Although it is possible to obtain copolymers with a wide range of composition, attention was paid to products with a low content of unsaturation (less than 2% mole of butadiene). These copolymers are highly homogeneous. They show high crystallinity of the polyethylene type and they can be crosslinked with conventional sulphur recipes.     

Photochemistry of (η5)-C5H5)Mn(CO)2[C(C6H5)2]. Generation of the diphenylcarbene radical anion

The electronic absorption spectrum of (η⁵-C₅H₅)Mn(CO)₂[C(C₆H₅)₂]shows an intense maximum which is assigned to a MLCT transition in which the empty p_π orbital on the carbene carbon is populated. Upon irradiation of this band, the complex undergoes a decomposition with a disappearance quantum yield Φ = 0.10 ± 0.01 independent of solvent. In the CT excited state, the complex can be roughly described as containing d⁵ Mn^II and a diphenylcarbene radical anion ligand C(C₆H₅)₂^?. Due to the kinetic lability, the complex decomposes producing a Mn^II species and the free carbene radical anion, which then undergoes secondary reactions. In addition, small amounts of substitution product are observed. It is proposed that prior to total decomposition of the excited state, a radical pair (η⁵-C₅H₅)Mn(CO)₂S⁺/C(C₆H₅)₂^?forms (S = solvent). A back electron transfer from C(C₆H₅)₂^?to the labile cation competes with decomposition to produce the substituted complex and free carbene.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of (C8h8)Nd(C5H9C5H4) (THF)2 and [(C8H8)Gd(C5H9C4H4(THF)][(C8H8)GD(C5H9C5H4(THF)2]

LnCl₃ (Ln=Nd, Gd) reacts with C₅H₉C₅H₄Na (or K₂C₈H₈) in THF (C₅H₉C₅H₄ = cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl) in the ratio of 1 : to give (C₅H₉C₅H₄)LnCl₂(THF)_n (orC₈H₈)LnCl₂(THF)_n], which further reacts with K₂C₈H₈ (or C₅H₉C₅H₄Na) in THF to form the litle complexes. If Ln=Nd the complex (C₈H₈)Nd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (a) was obtained: when Ln=Gd the 1 : 1 complex [(C₈H₈)Gd(C_%H₉)(THF)][(C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉H₄)(THF)₂] (b) was obtained in crystalline form.

The crystal structure analysis shows that in (C₈H₈)Ln(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (Ln=Nd or Gd), the Cyclopentylcyclopentadieny (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and two oxygen atoms from THF are coordinated to Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺) with coordination number 10.

The centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring (Cp′) in C₅H₉C₅H₄ group, cyclooctatetraenyl centroid (COTL) and two oxygens (THF) form a twisted tetrahedron around Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺). In (C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF), the cyclopentyl-cyclopentadienyl (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and one oxygen atom are coordinated to Gd³⁺ with the coordination number of 9 and Cp′, COT and oxygen atom form a triangular plane around Gd³⁺, which is almost in the plane (dev. -0.0144 Å).     

Mechanism of formation of (η-C5H5)2NbH3 from the reaction of (η-C5H5)2NbCl2 with hydridoaluminate reducing agents

The mechanism of the transformation of (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂NbCl₂ to (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂NbH₃ by hydridoaluminate reducing agents has been investigated. Results suggest disproportionation of a niobium(IV) hydrite, leading to the trihydride product and a niobium(III) hydridoaluminate, (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂NbH₂AlR₂, which in turn is converted to the trihydride on hydrolysis. (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂NbH₂AlH₂ has been isolated; deuterium labelling shows that hydrogens exchange between ring and metal-bridging positions in this molecule.     

Reactions of methyl and ethyl halides with the complexes Ni[P(C2H5)3]4 and Ni(X)[P(C2H5)3]3

The rates of the thermal reaction of the nickel(0) complex Ni[P(C₂H₅)₃]₄ with the alkyl halides CH₃Br, CH₃I in toluene have been compared with those of the reactions of the nickel(I) complexes Ni(X)[P(C₂H₅)₃]₃ (X  Br,I). The organic products from CH₃X are methane and ethane, and those from C₂H₅I are ethane and ethylene. The reactivity of the nickel(I) complexes is 10–20 times less than that of the nickel(0) complex. The result suggest that the first step of the reaction of nickel(0) with CH₃I is the expected oxidative addition of the halide to the metal substrate. The intermediate thus formed decomposes to produce ethane (and small amounts of methane) without further reaction with the organic halide. This mechanism is supported by deuterium-labeling experiments.     

The crystal and molecular structure of dicarbonylbis(diphenylethylphosphine) platinum(0) Pt(CO)2[P(C6H5)2(C2H5)]2

The complex dicarbonylbis(diphenylethylphosphine)platinum, Pt(CO)₂[P(C₆H₅)₂(C₂H₅)]₂, crystallizes in either of the enantiomorphous space groups P3₁21 (No. 152) and P3₂21 (No. 154) with cell dimensions a = 10.64(1), c = 22.06(1) Å, U = 2163 ų; p_c = 1.564 g/cm³ for Z = 3, p_m = 1.55(3) g/cm³. The intensities of 1177 independent reflections have been determined by counter methods with MoKα monochromatized radiation. The structure has been solved by the heavy atom method. The refinement, carried out by full-matrix least squares down to a final R factor of 0.042, has enabled the absolute configuration of the crystal sample (space group P3₁21) to be ascertained. The molecule is roughly tetrahedral, and has the metal atom lying on a two-fold axis of the cell. Bond parameters are: PtC = 1.92(2) Å, PtP = 2.360(4) Å, CPtC = 117(1)° and PPtP = 97.9(2)°. The PtC₂ and PtP₂ moieties make a dihedral angle of 86.0(3)°. The overall C₂ symmetry of the molecule is probably only a statistically averaged situation, a disorder in the PtCO interactions being apparent from the orientations of the thermal ellipsoids of the C and O atoms.     

Photoinitiated reactions of (η-C5H5)2MH3 (M  Nb,Ta) with Mn2(CO)10: structure of (η-C5H5)2(CO)Ta(μ-H)Mn2(CO)9

Preliminary mechanistic studies show that this and the analogous niobium reaction proceed via a complex sequence of thermal steps following photoinitiation.

Reaction of ansa-cyclopentadienyl pyrrolyl ligand (C₅H₅)CH₂(2-C₄H₃NH) (2) with Ti(NMe₂)₄ affords bis(dimethylamido)titanium complex [(η⁵-C₅H₄)CH₂(2-C₄H₃N)]Ti(NMe₂)₂ (3) via amine elimination. A cyclopentadiene ligand with two pendant pyrrolyl arms, a mixture of 1,3- and 1,4-{CH₂(2-C₄H₃NH)}₂C₅H₄ (4), undergoes an analogous reaction with Ti(NMe₂)₄ to give [1,3-{CH₂(2-C₄H₃N)}₂(η⁵-C₅H₃)]Ti(NMe₂) (5). Molecular structures of 3 and 5 have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
