Copper(I) pentafluorothiophenolate, CuSC₆F₅ reacted with a number of acyl and alkyl halides in either $\text{n}$-hexane or DMF. The products RCH₂SC₆F₅ (R = Me, Ph, C₆F₅S, C₆F₅SCH₂), Ph₂CHSC₆F₅, R₃CSC₆F₅(R =Me, Ph) and RCOSC₆F₅ (R = Me, C₆F₅) have been characterized and their spectra, particularly NMR spectra (H1, C13, F19) have been examined.     

Zur reaktion von metall-koordiniertem kohlenmonoxid mit yliden: XI. Einige neuartige η1-vinyl-komplexe des eisens durch deprotonierung kationischer carbenkomplexe mit trimethyl(methylen)phosphoran

Novel η¹-vinyl complexes of the type Cp(CO)(L)FeC(OMe)C(R)R′ (R = R′ = H, Me; R = H, R′ = Me; L = Me₃P, Ph₃P) are obtainied via methylation of the acyl complexes Cp(CO)(L)FeC(O)R (R = Me, Et, i-Pr) with MeOSO₂F and subsequent deprotonation of the resulting carbene complexes [Cp(CO)(L)FeC(OMe)R]SO₃F with the phosphorus ylide Me₃PCH₂. The same procedure can be applied for the synthesis of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl derivative C₅Me₅(CO)(Me₃P)FeC(OMe)CH₂, while treatment of the hydroxy or siloxy carbene complexes [Cp(CO)(L)FeC(OR)Me]X (R = H, Me₃Si; X = SO₃CF₃) with Me₃CH₂ results in the transfer of the oxygen bound electrophile to the ylidic carbon. Some remarkable spectroscopic properties of the new complexes are reported.     

An absolute integrated infrared intensity study of (η6C6H5R)Cr(CO)2(CS) (R = H,Me, Cl,CO2Me)

The absolute integrated i.r. intensities of the CO and CS stretching bands of the thiocarbonyl complexes (η⁶C₆H₅R)Cr(CO)₂(CS), where R = H, Me, Cl and CO₂Me, have been determined in CS₂ solutions. The intensities have been correlated with each other and with the band wavenumbers, and have been shown to be dependent on the nature of the substituent R in the aromatic ring. The intensities have been demonstrated to be better probes of the electronic effects occurring in these complexes than are the wavenumbers, and correlate well with the Hammett substituent parameters, σ⁰.     

An infrared study of the stretching modes of the water molecules in ZnF2·4H2O

The IR spectra of ZnF₂·4H₂O and its deuterated analogues are reported at ambient and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. The OH and OD stretching and bending vibrations of the water molecules are analysed in detail. The two types of water molecules give rise to different absorption peaks in the OH and OD stretching regions in samples that contain isotopically dilute HDO groups. The strongly hydrogen-bonded water molecules H₂O(1) and H₂O(4) show four broad OH and OD stretching modes at lower frequencies, while the weaker hydrogen-bonded ones H₂O(2) and H₂O(3) give rise to four narrow bands at higher frequencies. The ν_OD frequencies of isotopically dilute HDO groups correlate very well with the known R(H---F) and R(H---O) distances in the crystals and the assignment of these modes was done on this basis. It was also found that the ratio ν_OH/ν_OD decreases with decreasing values of R(H---O) or R(H---F) in ZnF₂·4H₂O.     

Vibrational circular dichroism in hydrogen bond systems: Part II. Vibrational circular dichroism of the OH stretching vibration in 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol

Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) of the OH stretching band in 2,2-dimethyl-1,3- dioxolane-4-methanol has been studied. The OH stretching vibration for the intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded species in the (R)-enantiomer gives rise to a positive VCD band but no VCD band for the hydrogen-bond free species. It is shown that the G⁻G⁺ conformation in the intramolecular hydrogen bond system

gives a positive VCD band for the OH stretching vibration. The thermodynamic parameters in equilibrium between the free and intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded species have been determined as ΔH =−7.8 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS = −18 kJ K⁻¹ mol⁻¹.     

Synthese und eigenschaften neur kupfer- und gold-komplexe des typs C5H5MPR3, C5Me5MPR3 und R″C2MPR3 (M = Cu,Au) sowie die kristallstruktur von C5H5AuPPr3i

The complexes C₅H₅CuPR₃ (R = Me, Prⁱ), C₅H₅AuPR₃ (R = Me, Prⁱ), C₅Me₅CuPR₃ (R = Me, Prⁱ, Ph) and C₅Me₅AuPR₃ (R = Prⁱ, Ph) are prepared from [ClCuPR₃]_n or ClAuPR₃ and LiC₅H₅ (TlC₅H₅) or LiC₅Me₅, respectively. According to the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, the cyclopentadienyl and pentamethylcyclopentadienylgold compounds are fluxional in solution. The X-ray crystal structure of C₅H₅AuPPr₃ⁱ has been determined at ?120°C. The gold atom is in a linear arrangement (PAuC(1) = 177.0(2)°) and primarily σ-bonded to the cyclopentadienyl ring which shows a weak “slip distortion” toward a η³-mode of coordination. The complexes C₅R′₅AuPR₃ (R′ = H, Me) and C₅Me₅CuPPr₃ⁱ react with 1-alkynes such as C₂H₂, HC₂Ph and HC₂CO₂Me to form alkinylgold and copper compounds R″C₂MPR₃. They have been characterized by IR, UV and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) spectroscopy.     

Synthese und Reaktivität von Silicium-übergangsmetall-Komplexen: XXI. Ferrio-azidosilane and Ferriosilyl-iminophosphorane

Reaction of the ferriochlorosilanes R₅C₅(CO)₂FeSiR′_3-nCl_n (1a–1f) with sodium azide in tetrahydrofuran yields the ferrio- (mono-, bis-, and tris-azido)silanes R₅C₅(CO)₂FeSiR′_3-n(N₃)_n (R = H, Me; R′ = Me, H; n = 1–3) (2a–2f). CCl₄ converts Cp(CO)₂FeSiMe(H)N₃ (2a) into the ferrioazido(chloro)silane Cp(CO)₂-FeSiMe(Cl)N₃ (3). Treatment of 2d, 2f with Me₃P results in the formation of the ferriosilyl-iminophosphoranes Cp(CO)₂FeSi(N₃)(R)NPMe₃ (R = Me, N₃), (4a, 4b) by N₂ elimination.     

Stepwise synthesis of [Os3(CO)8(R2C2)(R′2C2)] from [Os3(CO)10(R2C2)] under mild conditions,x-ray crystal structure of [Os3(CO)8(Ph2C2)2]; a bis(alkyne) without an osmacyclopentaidiene ring

Treatment of a solution of [Os₃(CO)₁₀(R₂C₂)] (R = Me (1, R = Ph (2)) in CH₂Cl₂ with Me₃No/MeCN in the presence of R′₂C₂ affords the new organometallic cluster [Os₃(CO)₈(R₂C₂)(R′₂C₂)] (R = R′ = Me (3), R = R′ = Ph (4) and R = Ph, R′ = Me (5)). A single crystal X-ray analysis of compound 4 has established a triangular metal framework with both the alkyne units coordinated in a μ₃-η²-6-mode. In toluene, at 80°C, compound 4 undergoes rearrangement to the known compound, [Os₃H(CO)₈(Ph)C₂(C₆H₄))] (6) in which CC bond formation has occurred to produce an osmacyclopentadiene ring.     

Triorganotin cations stabilized by intramolecular SnN coordination; synthesis and characterization of {C,N,N′-2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl}diorganotin bromides

The synthesis of {2,6-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl}diorganotin bromides, 2,6-(Me₂NCH₂)₂C₆H₃SnRR′⁺ Br^? is described. The compounds in which R = R′ = Me or Et and R = Me, R′ = Ph are extremely soluble in water and other polar solvents and insoluble or slightly soluble (R = R′ = Et) in apolar solvents. The diphenyl compounds shows the opposite solubility behaviour. The dimethyl compound is completely dissociated in water in to a triorganotin of 84.8 ohm^?1 cm^?1 (1/1 electrolyte). NMR spectroscopy reveals that the triorganotin cation has a TBP structure in which the N atoms occupy axial sites. Dynamic NMR spectra of the methylphenyl compound show that above ?90°C ratedetermining SnN dissociation occurs and that above 5°C second process, involving rate-determining rotation of the substituted aryl group around the (N₂)CSn bond begins.An X-ray investigation of single crystals of the dimethyl compound, which is unstable towards X-rays, establishes the ionic structure of the triorganotin halide in the solid (shortest SnBr 4.99 Å) as well as the molecular geometry of the triorganotin cation. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n with Z = 4 in a unit cell of dimensions: a = 11.13(1), b = 16.73(2), c =10.10(1) Å, and β 114.2(1)°.     

Siliciumhaltige carben-komplexe: VIII. HSiR3-eliminierung aus carben-komplexen des typs (CO)5MC(NHR′)SiR3 (M = Cr,Mo, W)

Upon heating solid monoalkylamino(silyl)carbene complexes (CO)₅MC(NHR′)SiR₃ (M = W: SiR₃ = SiPh₃, R′ = Me, Et, Buⁿ, C₆H₁₁, Ph; SiR₃ = SiMePh₂, R′ = Me, Et. M = Mo, Cr: R = Ph, R′ = Me, Et) beyond their melting points, HSiR₃ elimination with formation of the isonitrile complexes (CO)₅MNCR′ and (CO)₄M(CNR′)₂ and (CO)₆M takes place quantitatively. Deuteration experiments show that the silane hydrogen stems from the NH group and that the reaction partially or exclusively proceeds by an intermolecular pathway.     

Methyl- and phenyl-bis(tertiary phosphine) N-bonded carboxamido complexes of platinum(II)

Methyl- or phenylN-carboxamido-complexes of platinum(II) Pt(NHCOR')RL₂ (L = PEt₃, R = Me, R′ = Me, CH = CH₂; L = PEt₃, R = Ph, R′ = Me; L = PMe₂Ph, R = Ph, R′ = Me, Ph; L = PMePh₂, R = Ph, R′ =₃, R = Ph, R′ = Me) have been prepared by the reaction of KOH with cationic nitrile complexes [PtR(NCR′)L₂]BF₄. Thermally unstable hydrido-N-carboxamido-complexes could be detected spectroscopically. IR and NMR (¹H, ³¹P) spectra of some of the complexes indicate the existence of a solvent- and temperature-dependent equilibrium between syn-and anti-isomers arising from restricted rotation about the NC bond of the carboxamido-group. The anti-isomer is favoured by nonpolar solvents and by increasing bulk of L. In the complex [PtH(NCCH CH₂)(PEt₃)₂]BF₄, IR and NMR spectra show acrlonitrile to be bound through nitrogen, not through the olefinic CC bond.     

Vibrational resonances in infrared spectra of uracils

Two regions in the i.r. spectra of uracils are analyzed: (a) the NH stretching region in crystals, and (b) the CO stretching region in matrix-isolated monomers. In these regions there is clear evidence of resonances leading to energy splittings and re-distributions of intensifies. These are: (a) a harmonic resonance between the NH stretching in hydrogen-bonded groups and the CH stretching, and (b) an anharmonic (Fermi) resonance between the CO stretching and a combination band involving the N₃H and CO bending vibrations. A theoretical interpretation of the resonances is presented.     

Alkoxylierung von bis(trimethylsilyl)-aminofluorsilanen,sowie siloxanbildung unter äthereliminierung

The reaction of bis(trimethylsilyl)aminofluorsilanes, (Me₃Si)₂NSiF₂R (R = CH₃ or F), with sodium alcoholates or sodium phenylate yields under elimination of NaF alkoxy- and aryloxy-aminofluorosilanes of the composition (Me₃Si)₂NSiF(R)OR′(R′ = CH₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇, C₆H₅). A disiloxane is formed by thermal elimination of diethyl ether from bis(trimethylsilyl)aminomethylfluoroethoxysilane. The IR, mass, ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectra of the above-mentioned compounds are reported. ab]Die Reaktion von Bis(trimethylsilyl)-aminofluorsilanen des Typs (Me₃Si)₂NSiF₂R (R = F, CH₃) mit Natriumalkoholaten und Natriumphenolat führt unter NaF-Abspaltung zu Alkyl- und Aryloxyaminofluorsilanen der Zusammensetzung: (Me₃Si)₂NSiF(R)OR′ (R′ = CH₃, C₂H₇, C₆H₅, C₆H₅). Ein Disiloxan könnte durch die thermische Eliminierung von Diäthyläther aus Bis(trimethylsilyl)aminomethyl-fluor-äthoxy-silylarnin erhalten werden.Die IR-, Massen-, ¹H- und ¹⁹F-NMR-Spektren der dargestellten Verbindungen werden mitgeteilt.     

Coordination complexes of acetylenic phosphines and diphosphines : V. Acetylene bridged derivatives of dicobalt octacarbonyl

Reactions of the phosphinoacetylenes RR′PCCR″ (R  R′  Ph, R″  H, CF₃, Ph, Me, t-Bu; R  R′  C₆F₅, R″  Ph, Me; R  Ph, R′  Me, R″  Me) with Co₂(CO)₈ have been studied. Complexes of four types have been characterised: (A)(RR′PC₂R″)CO₂(CO)₆ (R  R′  C₆F₅, R″  Ph, Me; R  R′  Ph, R″  t-Bu), (B) (RR′PC₂R″)₂Co₄(CO)₁₀ (R  R′  Ph, R″  H, CF₃, Ph, Me; R  R′  C₆F₅, R″  Me; R  Ph, R′  Me, R″  Me), (C) (RR′PC₂R″)₂Co₂(CO)₆ (R  R′  Ph, R″  t-Bu), (D) (RR′P(O)C₂R″)Co₂(CO)₆ (R  R′  Ph, R″  t-Bu; R  R′  C₆F₅, R  Ph). The complexes were characterised by microanalysis, IR, NMR and where possible mass spectra. Substitution reactions of the complexes with tertiary phosphites are described. In complexes of type (A) only the alkyne function is utilised whereas the tetranuclear compounds (B) have structures in which both alkyne and phosphorus moieties are coordinated. Compounds of type (C) are simple disubstituted phosphine complexes of Co₂(CO)₈ and those of type (D) are μ-alkyne derivatives of acetylenic phosphine oxides. The mechanism of formation of complexes of type (B) is discussed in the light of IR data.     

Spectres de vibration de composes organiques des elements de la colonne IVB : VIII. Derives organometalliques a liaison germanium—azote: Trialkylgermyl-et bis(trialkylgermyl)-amines

We have examined in the 3600–100 cm^?1 region the IR and Raman spectra of three bis(trialkylgermyl)amines (R₃Ge)₂NR′ (R = Me, Et; R′ = H, C₆H₅), of three dialkyl(trialkylgermyl)amines R₃GeNR′₂ (R = Me, Et; R′ = Me, n-Bu) and of two triethylgermylpyrazoles:

Assignments are discussed for the characteristic vibrations of these derivatives.     

13C, 15N and 29Si NMR spectra of triazasilatranes

¹³C, ¹⁵N and ²⁹Si chemical shifts and ²⁹Si¹H, ²⁹Si¹³C and ²⁹Si¹⁵N coupling constants as well as SiH bond stretching frequencies in the triazasilatranes (I) (2,5,8,9-tetraaza-1-silatricyclo[3.3.3.0^1,5] undecanes) and model compounds, tris(alkylamino)silanes with R_Si = H, Me, CH₂CH (Vi) and C₆H₅ (Ph) were measured. A stronger intramolecular N → Si bonding was revealed in I compared with their oxygen analogues, silatranes (II). This was assumed to be caused by the higher polarity of the equatorial SiX bonds in I (X = NH) in comparison with II (X = O).     

Bis(fluorbenzoyloxy)methylphosphanoxide

Bis(fluorbenzoyloxy)methyl phosphane oxides CH₃P(O)[OC(O)R]₂ [R = C₆H₄2F (1), C₆H₄3F (2), C₆H₄4F (3), C₆H₃2,6F₂ (4), C₆H2,3,5,6F₄ (5)] were prepared by treating silver salts of carboxylic acids AgOC(O)R with CH₃P(O)C?₂ (IR-, ¹H-, ¹⁹?F-and ³¹P{¹H}-NMR-data). The mixed anhydrides 1–5 show unusual thermal stability at room temperature. Stability against hydrolysis decreases with increasing number of fluorine-atoms. The reaction of R′P(O)C?₂ [R′ = CH₃, C₆H₅, (CH₃)₃C] with M^IOC(O)R_F [R_F = CF₃, C₂F₅, C₆F₅; M^I = Ag^I, Na^I T?^I] was investigated.     

Reactions of diorganoytterbium compounds with ketones and aldehydes

Reactions of the diorganolanthanoids R₂Yb (R = PhCC or C₆F₅) with aldehydes (R′CHO) and ketones (R′₂CO) (R = Me or Ph) followed by hydrolysis generally gives the alcohols RR′CH(OH) or RR′₂COH, but, with benzophenone, reduction giving benzopinacol either competes (R = PhCC) or is predominant (R = C₆F₅).     

Building Functionality into 4′‐Hydrazone Derivatives of 2,2′: 6′,2″‐Terpyridine

The syntheses of the five 2,2′: 6′,2″‐terpyridine (tpy) ligands 5 – 9 functionalized in the 4′‐position with a hydrazone substituent RR′C?N? NH (R=R′=Me; R=H, R′=4‐BrC₆H₄, 4‐O₂NC₆H₄, 4‐MeOC₆H₄, or 3,5‐(MeO)₂C₆H₃) are described. Protonation of the tpy domain of the ligands is facile. Solution behaviour has been studied by NMR and electronic spectroscopies. Representative structural data are presented for neutral and monoprotonated ligands, and illustrate that H‐bonding involving the formal amine NH unit is a dominant structural motif in all cases.     

Some novel triorganotin(IV) derivatives of β, δ-triketones

Thirty triorganotin(IV) derivatives of the type R₃Sn(R′COCHCOCH₂COR″) and [R₃Sn]₂ (R′COCHCOCHCOR″) (where R = CH₃, C₂H₅, nC₃H₇, nC₄H₉ and C₆H₅ and R′ = R″ = CH₃, C₆H₅ or R′ = C₆H₅, R″ = CH₃) have been synthesised by the interaction of R₃SnCl with mono- or disodium salt of 2, 4, 6-heptanetrione, 1-phenyl-1, 3, 5-hexanetrione and 1, 5-diphenyl-1, 3, 5-pentanetrione in 1:1 and 2:1 molar ratios, respectively. The complexes have been examined by their molecular weight, IR, PMR and elemental analyses and their tentative structures assigned. Both “Z” and “E” forms have been identified in the 1:1 complexes in equilibrium with the enol form containing five coordinate tin. The 2:1 derivatives contain one five- and other four coordinated tin(IV) except the phenyl analogue where both the tins are five coordinated.
