Reaction of bis(dimethoxyphosphino)dimethylhydrazine (dmpdmh) with PhCCo3(CO)9: synthesis and X-ray characterization of the dmpdmh-bridged polymorphs of PhCCo3(CO)7[(MeO)2PN(Me)N(Me)P(OMe)2]

The tricobalt cluster PhCCo₃(CO)₉ reacts with the bis(phosphanyl)hydrazine ligand bis(dimethoxyphosphino)dimethylhydrazine (dmpdmh) to give the monosubstituted cluster [PhCCo₃(CO)₈]₂(dmpdmh) and the disubstituted cluster PhCCo₃(CO)₇(dmpdmh) as the major products. This latter cluster contains a bridging dmpdmh ligand. Both IR and NMR spectroscopies (³¹P and ¹H) have been employed in the solution characterization of these two clusters. The solid-state structure of PhCCo₃(CO)₇(dmpdmh) was unequivocally established by X-ray diffraction analysis, which has revealed the presence of two different polymorphs for this particular cluster. The first polymorph crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 9.7127(7) Å, b = 17.025(2) Å,c = 16.894(1) Å, = 96.245(5)°, V = 2777.0(4) ų, Z = 4, and d _calc = 1.689 g/cm³; while the second polymorph crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, a = 16.925(2) Å, b = 16.208(2) Å, c = 20.541(3) Å, V = 5635(1) ų, Z = 8, and d _calc = 1.665 g/cm³.     

X-ray crystal structures of twocis-Mo(CO)4{(Ph2PO)2P(O)R} (R=Me,MeO-p-C6H4) complexes with unusual Mo-PPh2-O-P(O)R-O-PPh2 chelate rings

The X-ray crystal structures of twocis-Mo(CO)₄{(Ph₂PO)₂P(O)R} (I:R=Me; II: R=C₆H₄-p-OMe) complexes are presented. Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/n (a=11.566(1),b=10.045(2),c=25.959(4)Å;=97.64(1)°;V=2989.0 ų;Z=4). Complex II crystallizes in the triclinic space group P¯1 (a=8.868(2),b=11.552(2),c=16.818(3)Å,=78.32(1)°,=93.70(2)°, =86.59(2)°,V=1679.0 ų,Z=2). The coordination geometry of the molybdenum in each of these complexes is a slightly distorted octahedron. The six-membered chelate rings in these complexes have twist boat configurations with both ends flattened. The two rings differ in the degree of twisting in the boat and in the degree to which both ends of the boat are distorted from the ideal configurations. The twisting is greater in II, but the distortion is greater in I. Both appear to be due to the differing sizes of the substituent on the phosphonate phosphorus with larger substituents giving less twisting and flattening.     

Structure of a binuclear silver(I) complex [Ph3PAg(O2CCH2Ph)]2

The reaction of [Ph₃PAgI]₄ with sodium phenylacetate in MeOH and CH₂Cl₂ at room temperature gave rise to a binuclear silver complex with triphenylphosphine and phenylacetate mixed ligands, [Ph₃PAg(O₂CCH₂Ph)]₂. The crystal and molecular structure of the complex has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The space group is witha=9.198(2),b=9.516(2),c=13.842(3) Å, =102.00(3), =108.34(3), =93.58(3)°,Z=1, andDc=1.506 g cm^–3. The silver atoms are each coordinated by one phosphorus atom from triphenylphosphine and two oxygen atoms from the carboxylate groups in a T-shape. The complex is further characterized by its IR,¹H, and³¹P NMR spectra.     

Molecular structure of [CpFe(CO)2]3In

The molecular structure of [CpFe(CO)₂]₃In (Cp=⁵-C₅H₅) has been determined and contains a planar, three-coordinate indium center bound to three CpFe(CO)₂ moieties by unsupported In–Fe bonds. The orientation of the CpFe(CO)₂ units relative to the Fe₃In plane precludes -type interaction between iron and indium, while comparison with the isostructural gallium analog suggests the orientation of the CpFe(CO)₂ units is controlled by the size of the central atom and the inter-ligand steric repulsion. Crystal data: monoclinic, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 26.911(5), b = 10.838(2), c = 16.474(3)Å, = 111.63(3)°, V = 4465(2)ų and, Z = 8.

A total of 4869 data were collected and merged to a set of 2450 independent reflections; the structure was solved and refined toR=1.42% andwR=1.94%. The molecule lies on a site of symmetry and is disordered, with obvious scrambling of carbonyl and chloride ligands. Resulting bond lengths include Ir–P=2.339(1) Å, Ir–Cl=2.398(4) Å and Ir–CO=1.808(15) Å.

Treatment of Co₂(CO)₆(-dmad) (where dmad = dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate) with the bidentate ligand 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione (bpcd) in the presence of added Me₃NO affords the new alkyne compound Co₂(CO)₄(bpcd)(-dmad) in good yield. Both IR and ³¹P NMR spectroscopies indicate that the bpcd ligand is coordinated to a single cobalt center in a chelating fashion in solution. The solid-state structure of Co₂(CO)₄(bpcd)(-dmad) is identical to the solution structure Co₂(CO)₄(bpcd)(-dmad), as determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The thermal reactivity of Co₂(CO)₄(bpcd)(-dmad) has been briefly explored by spectroscopic methods, and evidence is presented for the attack of one of the PPh₂ groups on an alkyne carbon atom in Co₂(CO)₄(bpcd)(-dmad) to from the zwitterionic hydrocarbyl compound Co₂(CO)₄(-²:²:¹:¹-(MeO₂C)=C(CO₂Me)PPh₂C=C(PPh₂)C(O)CH₂C(O)] upon thermolysis. The redox chemistry of both Co₂(CO)₄(bpcd)(-dmad) and Co₂(CO)₄[-²:²:¹:¹-(MeO₂C) C=C(CO₂Me)PPh₂C=C(PPh₂)C(O)CH₂C(O)] has been explored by cyclic voltammetery.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of 3,5-di(2-propenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione and 2-dimethylamino-4-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine

The title compound 3,5-di(2-propenyl)-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione has been synthesized by the reaction of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione with allyl bromide. Its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to orthorhombic, space group Pbca with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 16.282(4) Å, b = 8.888(2) Å, c = 19.281(5) Å, = 90°, = 90°, = 90°, = 0.088 mm^–1, V = 2790.1(13) ų, z = 8, Dx = 1.282 mg/m³, F(000) = 1136, T = 293(2) K, 2.11° 25.02°, the final R factor: R ₁ = 0.0430, wR₂ = 0.0981. The X-ray results demonstrate that the reaction of 6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-dione with allyl bromide in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide and potassium carbonate yields the N-alkylated product. The title compound 2-dimethylamino-4-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine has been synthesized by a new reaction, in which the solvent N,N-dimethylformamide involves. Its structure was determined by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal belongs to triclinic, space group P-1 with the following crystallographic parameters: a = 7.977(2) Å, b = 10.394(3) Å, c = 10.837(3) Å, = 111.774(5)°, = 104.050(5)°, = 99.446(5)°, = 0.093 mm^–1, V = 776.6(4) ų, z = 2, Dx = 1.293 mg/m³, F(000) = 320, T = 293(2) K, 2.14° 25.03°, the final R factor: R ₁ = 0.0582, wR ₂ = 0.1399. The distance of N(4) C(2) (1.339 Å) is much shorter than the length of normal C N (1.47 Å) and very close to that of C-N (1.33 Å), which is indicative of the significant double bond character.

It is clear from the packing diagram that the title compound is a dimer via the secondary coordination. Surrounding Bi atom, three five-membered ring planes (Bi,O,N,C,S) make a dihedral angle of 55.91, 54.72, and 26.13° respectively. The whole crystal presents a three-dimensional network structure as each molecule produces four weak C–H O hydrogen bonds and a weak C–H S hydrogen bond.

Structures of two binuclear copper(II) complexes with sulfato bridges and tridentate 2-acetylpyridine 3-azacyclothiosemicarbazone ligands have been solved. The complex-sulfato-bis{(2-acetylpyridine 3-hexamethyleneiminyl-thiosemicarbazonato)copper(II)} N,N-dimethylformamide, [Cu(Achexim)]₂SO₄·DMF, has the following structural properties: triclinic, P1¯(#2), a = 12.314(4), b = 15.885(4), c = 10.959(4) Å, = 103.25(2), = 103.60(2), = 109.94(2)°, V = 1843(2) ų, and Z = 2; for -sulfato-bis{(2-acetylpyridine 3-piperidylthiosemicarbazonato)copper(II)}chloroform, [Cu(Acpip)]₂SO₄·CHCl₃: triclinic, P1¯(#2), a = 11.657(1), b = 17.101(2), c = 10.338(1) Å, = 98.51(1), = 109.294(7), = 107.016(9)°, V = 1790.3(4) ų, and Z = 2. The size of the azacyclo ring significantly affects the stereochemistry of these binuclear complexes.     

CO substitution in Ru3(CO)12 by 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)-N-phenyl-maleimide (bppm). X-ray diffraction structure of Ru2(CO)6(bppm)

The cluster Ru₃(CO)₁₂ reacts with the diphosphine ligand 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)-N-phenyl-maleimide (bppm) in toluene solution at 100C by fragmentation to give a 2:1 mixture of the donor–acceptor complex Ru₂(CO)₆(-bppm) and the phosphido-bridged species Ru₂(CO)₆ , respectively. The new diruthenium compounds have been isolated by chromatography and characterized in solution by IR and NMR (¹H and ³¹P) spectroscopies, in addition to X-ray diffraction analysis in the case of Ru₂(CO)₆( ₂ -bppm). Ru₂(CO)₆( ₂ -bppm), which exists as two crystallographically independent molecules in the unit cell, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, a = 18.8441(9), b = 21.352(2), c = 36.510(2) Å, V = 14,690(1) ų, z = 16, D _calc = 1.649 g/cm³; R = 0.0356, and R _w = 0.0812 for 17732 observed reflections. The reactivity of the bis(diphenylphosphino)-N-phenyl-maleimide ligand with Ru₃(CO)₁₂ under thermolysis conditions is contrasted with the related diphosphine ligands 2,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)maleic anhydride (bma) and 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4-cyclopenten-1,3-dione (bpcd).     

A comparison of the coordination preferences of Zn, Co, and Cd(II) with the heteroscorpionate ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis (3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane

Reaction of the Zn, Cd, or Co nitrate salts with the deprotonated ligand (2-hydroxy-3-t-butyl-methylphenyl)bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane (L1O^–) in methanol produced the following complexes: [(L1OH)Zn(NO₃)₂] in two isomorphs, a = 40.983(8) Å, b = 9.571(2) Å, c = 15.667(8) Å, = 90, = 106.38(1), = 90, C2/c, and a = 13.027(3) Å, b = 14.781(4) Å, c = 16.107(3) Å, = 90, = 105.30(1), = 90, P2₁/n; [(L1OH)Cd(pz)(NO₃)₂] a = 14.7476(2) Å, b = 13.5411(2) Å, c = 16.7223(2) Å, = 90, = 110.3840(10), = 90, P2₁/c; and [(L1O)Co(pz)(NO₃)] a = 11.4240(2) Å, b = 13.4498(2) Å, c = 13.8056(2) Å, = 105.2080(10), = 105.8130(10), = 112.7470(10), P . The Zn adopts a pseudotetrahedral four-coordinate geometry where the potentially tridentate ligand is actually bidentate with a protonated and uncoordinated phenoxy arm. The Co complex is pseudooctahedral six-coordinate where the phenoxy arm is deprotonated and coordinated. Finally the Cd complex is seven-coordinate but the metal is not coordinated through the phenoxy group that is again protonated.
