Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Tris(pentamethylphenyl)aluminum, (C6Me5)3Al, and the Magnesium Cluster [Mg6(μ3-OH)2(μ3-Br)2(μ2-Br)8(OEt2)8]

The synthesis and molecular structures of tris(pentamethylphenyl)aluminum, (C₆Me₅)₃Al, (I), and the magnesium cluster [Mg₆( ₃-OH)₂( ₃-Br)₂( ₂-Br)₈(OEt₂)₈] (II), are reported. Both compounds were isolated from the same system. The aluminum atom in (I) resides in an almost idealized trigonal planar environment. The dihedral angles of the pentamethylphenyl rings relative to the AlC₃plane in (I) are 67.2, 62.4, and 61.2°. The neutral magnesium cluster, (II), is interesting in that contains six magnesium atoms each of which resides in octahedral environments.

The oxidative addition reaction of 2,6-bis(bromomethyl)pyridine to Ru₃(CO)₁₂ gave scarcely soluble {Ru₂Br₂(-Q)(CO)₄} _n , 1, [Q=C₅H₃N-2-C(O)CH₂-6-CH₂] or a mixture of 1 and the mononuclear complex RuBr(Q)(CO)₃, 2, [Q=C₅H₃N-2-C(O)CH₂-6-CH₂Br] according to the reactant's mole ratio. Further reactions of 1 with some N- and P-donor ligands (L) afforded readily soluble dinuclear complexes, Ru₂(-Br)(-Q)Br(CO) _n (L) _m [n=4, m=1, L=PPh₃ 3a, or py 3b; n=3, m=2, L=PPh₃ 5a, or PPh₂(o-tolyl) 5b]. In this paper, the characterization of these products by the elemental analyses and the spectroscopic methods are described. The X-ray crystal structures of Ru₂(-Br) (-Q)Br(CO)₄(PPh₃)(MeOH), 4, which was obtained by crystallization of 3a from MeOH, and of 5a · (2CHCl ₃ ) are also described. Each of the metal atoms in 4 has a distorted octahedral coordination, while in 5a · (2CHCl ₃ ) one metal atom takes a distorted octahedral geometry and the other pseudooctahedral, which is completed by presenting a Ru ··· Br secondary bonding interaction.

Synthesis and molecular and crystal structure of the octanuclear palladium cluster Pd8(μ3-CO)2(μ2-CO)6(PMe3)7

Treatment of bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium with trimethylphosphine under a carbon monoxide atmosphere gives the title complex in good yield. X-ray crystallography has shown the structure of the complex to consist of an octahedron of palladium atoms which is bicapped by two further palladium atoms in an asymmetric fashion. Seven of the eight palladium centres carry terminal trimethylphosphine ligands. Two face-bridging and six edge-bridging CO molecules complete the ligand shell.

Probing the aromaticity of the [(H(t)Ac)3(μ2-H)6], [(H(t)Th)3(μ2-H)6],(+), and [(H(t)Pa)3(μ2-H)6] clusters

In this study we report about the aromaticity of the prototypical [(H(t)Ac)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)], [(H(t)Th)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)](+), and [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] clusters via two magnetic criteria: nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) and the magnetically induced current density. All-electron density functional theory calculations were carried out using the two-component zeroth-order regular approach and the four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian, including scalar and spin-orbit relativistic effects. Four-component current density maps and the integration of induced ring-current susceptibilities clearly show that the clusters [(H(t)Ac)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] and [(H(t)Th)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)](+) are non-aromatic whereas [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] is anti-aromatic. However, for the thorium cluster we find a discrepancy between the current density plots and the classification through the NICS index. Our results also demonstrate the increasing influence of f orbitals, on bonding and magnetic properties, with increasing atomic number in these clusters. We think that the enhanced electron mobility in [(H(t)Pa)(3)(μ(2)-H)(6)] is due the significant 5f character of its valence shell. Also the participation of f orbitals in bonding is the reason why the protactinium cluster has the shortest bond lengths of the three clusters. This study provides another example showing that the magnetically induced current density approach can give more reliable results than the NICS index.

THE SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF Mo_3(μ_3-O)(μ-S)_3(μ-O_2CC_6H_5)_2(dtp)_2(Py)

<正> The title compound was prepared by reaction of Mo3(μ3-O) (μ-S)3-(dtp)4 (H2O) with C6H5COONa and pyridine. C27 H35 Mo3NO9P2S7, Mr = 1091.76, monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 15. 057(5), b = 13. 052(5), c = 21. 662(6)(?), β=105.97(2)°, V = 4093(2) (?)3, Z = 4, Dc= 1. 77gcm-3, F(000) = 2176, μ(MoKα)=13.50cm-1, final R =0. 068 for 2835 observations. The molecular configuration is new and of approximate C, symmetry, and there are two C6H5COO bridging groups in the structure. The three Mo atoms form an isosceles triangle with three sides of 2. 567(3), 2. 576(3), and 2. 649(3)(?), where the two Mo-Mo bonds bridged by C6H5COO group are much shorter than that without. Something about the reactivity of Mo clusters is discussed.

Reactions of copper(I) halides with Se-donor ligands, namely, triphenylphosphine selenide (Ph₃PSe) and bis(diphenylselenophosphinyl)methane (dppm-Se,Se) yielded bromo-bridged [Cu₂(μ₂-Br)₂(SePPh₃)₂(NCCH₃)₂] (1), and selenium-bridged, [Cu₂I₂(μ₃-dppm-Se,Se)₂]?· 2CH₃CN (2) dimers, whose crystal structures are described.

Syntheses and characterization of the vanadium trimer (V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6(4,4′-bipyridine) and the vanadium hexamer [(V3(μ3-O)O2)(μ2-O2P(CH2C6H5)2)6]2(μ2-N1,N2-di(pyridin-4-yl)oxalamide)

Reacting VO(acac)₂ with six equivalents of dibenzylphosphinic acid in the presence of 4,4′-bipyridine or μ₂-N¹,N²-di(pyridin-4-yl)oxalamide leads to trimeric (V₃(μ₃-O)O₂)(μ₂-O₂P(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₆(4,4′-bipyridine) or the hexamer [(V₃(μ₃-O)O₂)(μ₂-O₂P(CH₂C₆H₅)₂)₆]₂(μ₂-N¹,N²-di(pyridin-4-yl)oxalamide). The complexes were characterized by spectroscopic (FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopies), TGA, and by single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. The structures consist of a planar central core where three vanadium ions are arranged in the form of a quasi-isosceles triangle and contain an interstitial O which is multiply bonded to one V and weakly interacting at different bond distances to the remaining two V ions.

The structure consists of two sets of tetraethylammonium cations and trinuclear Mo cluster anions. The cluster skeleton is formed by three Mo atoms arranged in an isosceles triangle with a Cl and an O atoms as capping ligands.     

Preparation of organozirconium aromatic compounds in mixed aqueous-organic solvents: X-ray structures of [Cp2ZrCl(μ2-O′,O′′C-C6H5)], [(CpZr)3(μ2-O′,O′′C-C6H3Cl2)3(μ3-OH)(μ2-OH)3](Cl2C6H3COO)2, and [(CpZr)3(μ2-O′,O′′C-C6H4Cl)3(μ3-OH)(μ2-OH)3]Cl2·CH2Cl2

A new and facile method is presented for the synthesis of zirconocene carboxylate compounds, in which zirconocene dichloride (Cp₂ZrCl₂) is dissolved in 1 M aqueous HCl solution and the requisite ligand is dissolved in an organic solvent. Five such compounds [Cp₂ZrCl(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₅)] (1), [Cp₂ZrCl(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃Cl₂)] (2), [Cp₂Zr(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃(OH)Cl)₂] (3), [Cp₂Zr(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃(OH)(NO₂))₂] (4), and [Cp₂Zr(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H(OH)Cl₃)₂] (5) have been obtained by this method. The effect of pH on the stability of Cp₂ZrCl₂ in 1 M HCl solution has been investigated by UV/vis spectrophotometry and ¹H NMR spectrometry. The results showed that the aqueous Cp₂ZrCl₂ solutions became less stable with increasing pH, liberating cyclopentadiene. Accordingly, at higher pH (～7), two trinuclear zirconium monocyclopentadienyl compounds, [(CpZr)₃(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₃Cl₂)₃(μ₃-OH)(μ₂-OH)₃](Cl₂C₆H₃COO)₂ (6) and [(CpZr)₃(μ₂-O′,O′′C-C₆H₄Cl)₃(μ₃-OH)(μ₂-OH)₃]Cl₂·CH₂Cl₂ (7), were obtained. All compounds 1–7 have been characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR spectra and elemental analysis. In all of the compounds, the aromatic acid acts as a bidentate ligand in coordinating to the zirconium; both chelating and bridging modes are observed. X-ray crystallographic studies on 1, 6, and 7 have revealed that the geometries at zirconium are distorted octahedral in 6 and 7, and distorted trigonal-bipyramidal in 1.

In both compounds, ionic pairs {[Mo₃Te₇(CN)₆]I}^3– with Te_ax...I^– distances of 3.358-3.676 are formed. In the potassium salt, the {[Mo₃Te₇(CN)₆]I}^3– anion pairs are linked by the additional Te_eqI^– short contacts of 3.460 into two-dimensional corrugated layers perpendicular to the c axis of the unit cell. The structure of the cesium salt is ionic with interstitial H₂O molecules and double-layer closest packing of anions.
