A novel reaction producing the rhodium(I) complexes with π-coordinated tetraphenylborate anion, (π-PhBPh3). X-ray study of [Rh(PPh3)2(π-PhBPh3)]

Treating the complexes [Rh(TFA)(PPh₃)₂], [Rh(HFA)(PPh₃)₂], and [Rh(TFA)(Cod)] (TFA - trifluoroacetylacetonate, HFA - hexafluoroacetylacetonate, Cod - 1,5 cyclooctadiene) with an excess of NaBPh₄ in acetonitrile yields the rhodium(I) complexes with coordinated [BPh₄]⁻ anion, [Rh(PPh₃)₂(π-PhBPh₃)] · 2MeCN (I) and [Rh(Cod)(π-PhBPh₃)] (II). The reactions present a new example of β-diketonate ligand replacement. The ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹¹B NMR spectra of I and II are discussed. [Rh(PPh₃)₂(π-PhBPh₃)] has been characterized by single crystal X-ray analysis.     

The structurally characterised silyl complexes, Os(κ-S2CNMe2)(SiMeCl2)(CO)(PPh3)2 and Os(κ-S2CNMe2)(SiCl3)(CO)(PPh3)2, which have remarkably unreactive Si-Cl bonds

Treatment of Os(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)H(CO)(PPh₃)₂ with HSiMeCl₂ or HSiCl₃ gives in high yield Os(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(SiMeCl₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1) or Os(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(SiCl₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (2), respectively. The crystal structures of both compounds have been determined and the Os-Si distances are 2.3672(10) Å for 1 and 2.3449(12) Å for 2. In solution, and under forcing conditions, both compounds are extraordinarily unreactive towards hydroxide ions.     

[Na(DB18C6)(CH3CN)]2W6O19·(CH3CN)2的合成、晶体结构及谱学表征

A super-molecular complex, [Na(DB18C6)(CH₃CN)]₂W₆O₁₉·(CH₃CN)₂, was obtained by solvothermal reaction and characterized by IR , ¹H NMR, gumbc spectrum single crystal and X-ray diffraction. The compou- nd crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a=1.185 22(4) nm, b=2.091 51(8) nm, c=1.487 19(5) nm, β=117.467(2)° and Z=2. The complex contains four basic units: Na⁺, CH₃CN, DB18C6 and W₆O₁₉^2-. Sodium ions located in the cavity of dibenzo-18-crown-6 with 6 Na-O bonds and the crown ether-sodium ion complex is supported on the terminal oxygen atoms of the typical Lindqvist isopolyanion W₆O₁₉^2- via the coordinative interactions. W₆O₁₉^2- located between two DB18C6 and led to the formation of the “hamburger” structure. Two isolated CH₃CN are included in the complex. The whole title crystal is stabilized by van der waals force. CCDC: 292369.     

Metallacyclic complexes with ortho-silylated triphenylphosphine ligands, LnOs(κ(Si,P)-SiMe2C6H4PPh2), derived from thermal reactions of the coordinatively unsaturated trimethylsilyl, methyl complex, Os(SiMe3)(Me)(CO)(PPh3)2

Reaction between Os(SiCl₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂ and five equivalents of MeLi produces a colourless intermediate, tentatively formulated as the lithium salt of the six-coordinate, dimethyl, trimethylsilyl-containing complex anion, Li[Os(SiMe₃)(Me)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂]. Reaction of this material with ethanol releases methane and gives the red, coordinatively unsaturated methyl, trimethylsilyl-containing complex, Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1). An alternative synthesis of 1 is to add one equivalent of MeLi to Os(SiMe₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, which in turn is obtained by adding three equivalents of MeLi to Os(SiCl₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂. Treatment of 1 with p-tolyl lithium, again gives a colourless intermediate which may be Li[Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(p-tolyl)(CO)(PPh₃)₂], and reaction with ethanol gives the red complex, Os(SiMe₃)(p-tolyl)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3). Complexes 1 and 3 are readily carbonylated to Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (2) and Os(SiMe₃)(p-tolyl)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (4), respectively. Heating Os(SiMe₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂ in molten triphenylphosphine results only in loss of the trimethylsilyl ligand and formation of the previously known complex containing an ortho-metallated triphenylphosphine ligand, Os(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂. In contrast, heating the five-coordinate osmium-methyl complex, Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1), in the presence of triphenylphosphine results mainly, not in tetramethylsilane elimination, but in ortho-silylation as well as ortho-metallation of different triphenylphosphine ligands giving, Os(κ²(Si,P)-SiMe₂C₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (5). A byproduct of this reaction is the non-silicon containing di-ortho-metallated complex, Os(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)₂(CO)(PPh₃) (6). A similar reaction occurs when Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1) is heated in the presence of tri(N-pyrrolyl)phosphine producing Os(κ²(Si,P)-SiMe₂C₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)[P(NC₄H₄)₃] (7) but a better synthesis of 7 is to treat 5 directly with tri(N-pyrrolyl)phosphine. Heating the six-coordinate complex, Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (2), gives two complexes both containing ortho-metallated triphenylphosphine, one with loss of the trimethylsilyl ligand, giving the known complex, Os(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)H(CO)₂(PPh₃), and the other with retention of the trimethylsilyl ligand, giving Os(SiMe₃)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)₂(PPh₃) (8). Crystal structure determinations for 5, 6, 7 and 8 have been obtained.     

Synthesis of niobocene imido cations: X-ray crystal structure of [Nb(NBu)(η-C5H4SiMe3)2(CNBu)][BPh4]

The reduction of [Nb(NBu^t)(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Cl] by sodium amalgam followed by oxidation by [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂][BPh₄] in the presence of CNBu^t gave [Nb(NBu^t)(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂(CNBu^t)][BPh₄] (1). In a similar manner, [Nb(NPh)(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂(CNBu^t)][BPh₄] (2), [Nb(NPh)(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂(CO)][BPh₄] (3) and [Nb(NBu^t){Me₂Si(η⁵-C₅Me₄)(η⁵-C₅H₄)}(CNBu^t)][BPh₄] (4), were prepared. The reduction of [Nb(NBu^t){Me₂Si(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂}Cl] gave, depending on the experimental conditions, either the d¹-d¹ dimer [(Nb{Me₂Si(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂}(μ-NBu^t))₂] (5) or the hydride derivative [Nb(NBu^t){Me₂Si(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂}H] (6). The reaction of 5 with I₂ led to the formation of [Nb(NBu^t){Me₂Si(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂}I] (7). The molecular structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Thiolate-bridged heterometallic complexes of manganese and platinum: Synthesis and molecular structures of (CO)4Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)2, (CO)3(PPh3)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(CO), and (CO)3Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(Dppm)

A reaction of the dimer [Mn(CO)₄(SPh)]₂ with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) gave the heterometallic complex (CO)₄Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)₂ (I) and its isomer (CO)₃(PPh₃)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(CO) (II). A reaction of complex I with a diphosphine ligand (Dppm) yielded the heterometallic complex (CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(Dppm) (III). Complexes I–III were characterized by X-ray diffraction. In complex I, the single Mn-Pt bond (2.6946(3) ?) is supplemented with a thiolate bridge with the shortened Pt-S and Mn-S bonds (2.3129(5) and 2.2900(6) ?, respectively). Unlike complex I, in complex II, one phosphine group at the Pt atom is exchanged for one CO group at the Mn atom. The Mn-Pt bond (2.633(1) ?) and the thiolate bridge (Pt-S, 2.332(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.291(2) ?) are retained. In complex III, the Mn-Pt bond (2.623(1) ?) is supplemented with thiolate (Pt-S, 2.341(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.292(2) 0?) and Dppm bridges (Pt-P, 2.240(1)?; Mn-P, 2.245(2) ?). Apparently, the Pt atom in complexes I–III is attached to the formally double bond , as in Pt complexes with olefins.     

Complexes of technetium(I) (Tc, Tc) pentacarbonyl core with π-acceptor ligands (tert-butyl isocyanide and triphenylphosphine): Crystal structures of [Tc(CO)5(PPh3)]OTf and [Tc(CO)5(CNC(CH3)3)]ClO4

A procedure was developed for preparing [^99mTcX(CO)₅] (X = Cl, Br, I) in a reasonable yield by high-pressure carbonylation with CO of ^99mTcO₄⁻ in aqueous solutions. In the synthesis, the substantial part of the target product is accumulated in the gas phase and can be transferred from the autoclave into various solvents when relieving the pressure. Compounds [^99mTcX(CO)₅] (X = Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻) are stable in solutions for several hours, but in the course of longer storage they gradually decompose to give the tricarbonyl species. Substitution of the halide ligands in [⁹⁹TcX(CO)₅] and [^99mTcX(CO)₅] with tert-butyl isocyanide and triphenylphosphine was studied. The structures of the complexes [Tc(CO)₅(PPh₃)]OTf and [Tc(CO)₅(CNC(CH₃)₃)]ClO₄ are presented.     

Synthesis and reactions of cycloheptadienyl and cyclooctadienyl tungsten complexes: X-ray crystal structure of [W(CO)2(PPh3)2(η-C7H9)][BF4]

Protonation of the cycloheptatriene complex [W(CO)₃(η⁶-C₇H₈)] with H[BF₄] · Et₂O in CH₂Cl₂ affords the cycloheptadienyl system [W(CO)₃(η⁵-C₇H₉)][BF₄] (1). Complex 1 reacts with NaI to yield [WI(CO)₃(η⁵-C₇H₉)], which is a precursor to [W(CO)₂(NCMe)₃(η³-C₇H₉)][BF₄], albeit in very low yield. The dicarbonyl derivatives [W(CO)₂L₂(η⁵-C₇H₉)]⁺ (L₂=2PPh₃, 4, or dppm, 5) were obtained, respectively, by H[BF₄] · Et₂O protonation of [W(CO)₂(PPh₃)(η⁶-C₇H₈)] in the presence of PPh₃ and reaction of 1 with dppm. The X-ray crystal structure of 4 (as a 1/2 CH₂Cl₂ solvate) reveals that the two PPh₃ ligands are mutually trans and are located beneath the central dienyl carbon and the centre of the edge bridge. The first examples of cyclooctadienyl tungsten complexes [WBr(CO)₂(NCMe)₂(1-3-η:5,6-C₈H₁₁)] (6) and [WBr(CO)₂(NCMe)₂(1-3-η:4,5-C₈H₁₁)] (7) were synthesised by reaction of [W(CO)₃(NCR)₃] (R=Me or Prⁿ) with 3-Br-1,5-cod/6-Br-1,4-cod or 5-Br-1,3-cod/3-Br-1,4-cod (cod=cyclooctadiene), respectively. Complexes 6 and 7 are precursors to the pentahapto-bonded cyclooctadienyl tungsten species [W(CO)₂(dppm)(1-3:5,6-η-C₈H₁₁)][BF₄] and [W(CO)₂(dppe)(1-5-η-C₈H₁₁)][BF₄] · CH₂Cl₂.     

铋(Ⅲ)配合物Bi(1,10-phen)[S2CN(CH3)2]2(NO3),

Three bismuth（Ⅲ） complexes Bi（1,10-phen）[S2CN（CH3）2]2（NO3） （1）, {Bi（S2COCH3）[S2CNC6Hs（CH3）]2}2 （2） and [Bi（S2CNBu2）2（CH3OH）（NO3）]∞ （3） were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectra. Their crystal structures were determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Studies show that complex 1 has a monomeric structure with the central bismuth atom eight-coordinated in a capped distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. The complex 2 takes centrosymmetric dimeric structure and the bismuth atoms are seven-coordinated in distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry.In complex 3, the bismuth atoms are seven-coordinated in distorted pentagonal bipyramidal geometry by bridging nitrate O atoms and the resulting structure is onedimensional infinite chain polymer.     

配合物[Ce(CH2=C(CH3)COO)2(NO3)(Bipy)]的合成及晶体结构

The new complex [Ce(CH₂=C(CH₃)COO)₂(NO₃)(Phen)]₂ was prepared in ethanol-aqueous solution with 8-hydroxyquinoline as the acidity regulator. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The title complex is triclinic, space group P1, a=1.00832(3)nm, b=1.02858(8)nm, c=1.12350(8)nm, α=113.9250(10)°, β=103.8210(10)°, γ=81.4650(10)°, V=1.03252(14)nm³, Z=1, D_c=1.700g·cm^-3, F(000)=522.

Metallacyclic complexes with ortho-stannylated triphenylphosphine ligands, LnOs(κ(Sn,P)-SnMe2C6H4PPh2), derived from thermal reactions of the five-coordinate complex, Os(SnMe3)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2

Heating the five-coordinate trimethylstannyl complex, Os(SnMe₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, in solution with triphenylphosphine induces an ortho-stannylation of one phenyl group of a triphenylphosphine ligand and an ortho-metallation of another triphenylphosphine ligand, to produce the metallacyclic complexes, Os(κ²(Sn,P)-SnMeClC₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (1) and Os(κ²(Sn,P)-SnMe₂C₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (2), suggesting the possible intermediacy of a complex with a coordinated stannylene ligand. Spectroscopic data indicate that only one diastereomer of 1 is formed and crystal structure determination of 1 reveals that this is the diastereomer with chloride directed towards the CO ligand. Complex 2 is converted to 1 through a redistribution reaction with SnMe₂Cl₂. Heating the six-coordinate trimethylstannyl complex, Os(SnMe₃)Cl(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂, in solution produces the osmium(II) methyl complex, Os(Me)(SnMe₂Cl)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (3), through an exchange of methyl and chloride groups on the tin and osmium. In this rearrangement, the relative locations of the two CO ligands and the two PPh₃ ligands remains unchanged. However, when the six-coordinate trimethylstannyl complex, Os(SnMe₃)Cl(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ is heated under CO, the same exchange reaction is observed but the mono-triphenylphosphine, tricarbonyl complex, Os(Me)(SnMe₂Cl)(CO)₃(PPh₃) (4), is produced and here the SnMe₂Cl ligand is located trans to the PPh₃ ligand. Crystal structure determinations for 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been obtained.     

Stable radical adducts of diisopropylphosphoryl radicals with fullerene complexes (η2-C60)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut) and (η2-C70)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut)

It was determined by ESR spectroscopy that the UV irradiation of toluene solutions containing Hg[P(O)(OPrⁱ)₂ and the complex (²-C₆₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) produces six stable regioisomeric adducts of phosphoryl radicals with complexes, which are not demetallated under UV irradiation and do not dimerize in the absence of UV irradiation. This is caused by the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the carbon atoms of fullerene localized near the metal-containing moiety. The addition of the phosphoryl radicals to (²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) gives rise to the formation of nine stable regioisomeric radical adducts. A comparison of the composition of regioisomers of the radical adducts of C₇₀ with the phosphoryl radicals, which were formed directly from C₇₀ and from the radical adducts of ²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) by the demetallation of the latter, revealed an orienting effect of the osmium-containing moiety on the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the fullerene complex.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

[(η-C6H6)Ru(L)(Cl/N3/CN/CH3CN)] complexes of non-planar pyrazolylmethylpyridine ligands: Formation of helices due to C-H?X (X = Cl, N) interaction

Structural analysis of a previously reported half-sandwich complex having three-legged “piano-stool” geometry [(η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru^II(L¹)Cl][PF₆] (1) (L¹ = 2-(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine) is described. Treatment of 1 with (i) Ag(CF₃SO₃) in CH₃CN and (ii) NaN₃ in CH₃OH, and (iii) the reaction between [(η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru(L²)Cl]-[PF₆] (2) (previously reported) and NaCN in C₂H₅OH led to the isolation of [(η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru(L¹)(CH₃CN)][PF₆]₂ (3), [(η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru(L¹)(N₃)][PF₆] (4), and [(η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru(L²)(CN)][PF₆] (5), respectively (L² = 2-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)pyridine). The complex [(η⁶-C₆H₆)Ru(L⁴)Cl][PF₆] (6) with a new ligand (L⁴ = 2-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)pyrazol-1-ylmethyl]pyridine) has also been synthesized. The structures of 3-6 have been elucidated (¹H NMR spectra; CD₃CN). The molecular structures of 1, 4, and 6·C₆H₅CH₃ have been determined. Notably, the crystal-packing in these structures is governed by C-H?X (X = Cl, N) interactions, generating helical architectures.

New cluster complexes [W₃S₄(Acac)₃(PPh₃)₃]PF₆ · 0.5CHCl₃ (Acac = CH₃C(O)CHC(O)CH₃) (I) and [W₃S₄(Hfac)₃(PPh₃)₂Br] · 2CHCl₃ (Hfac = CF₃C(O)CHC(O)CF₃) (II) were synthesized. Their molecular and crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. The cis-cis type of coordination of acetylacetonate and hexafluoroacetylacetonate ligands in I and II, respectively, was established, and the PPh₃ ligands were found in the trans-positions with respect to the “capping” sulfide ligand (μ³-S).     

Some complexes containing Pt-C5-Co3 fragments: Molecular structure of trans-Pt{CCCC-μ3-C[Co3(μ-dppm)(CO)6(PPh3)]}2(PPh3)2 determined using synchrotron radiation

Reactions of platinum(II) chloro-phosphine complexes with Co₃(μ₃-CCCCCSiMe₃)(μ-dppm)(CO)₇ in the presence of NaOMe have given the compounds Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇]}₂(dppe) (1), trans-Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇]}₂(PEt₃)₂ (2) and trans-Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm) (CO)₆(PPh₃)]}₂(PPh₃)₂ (3), each of which contains two Co₃ clusters linked by C₅ chains to the Pt centre. Electrochemical studies (CVs) show the presence of both oxidation and reduction processes, the latter probably occurring on the CCo₃ cores. Ready reductive elimination of {Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇}₂(μ₃:μ₃-C₁₀) occurs from 1 upon heating. The X-ray study of 3 was carried out using synchrotron radiation (Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, IL) to confirm its structure.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of [Mo3S4(Dppen)3Cl3]PF6 · 1.5CH2Cl2 and [W3S4(Dppe)3Br3]2ZnBr4 · 5.5CH3CN

Their molecular and crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. Diphoshine ligands in the complexes I and II are coordinated in the bidentate mode, providing an arrangement of three chelate rings, giving rise to chirality.
