Mehrfachbindungen zwischen Hauptgruppenelementen und Übergangsmetallen : XLV. Eigenschaften und Reaktionsverhalten von Hydrogenchalkogenid-Komplexen der Metalle Chrom, Molybdän und Wolfram

Hydrogensulfido and hydrogenselenido complexes of general composition (η⁵-C₅R₅(CO)3M(EH) (R = H, CH₃; M = Cr, Mo, W; E = S, Se) react at the EH functions by deprotonation, bimolecular elimination of H₂E, or by loss of the chalcogen atoms E. Reactions with Lewis-acidic complex cations such as [((η⁵-C₅R₅)(CO)₃M]⁺ (R = H, CH₃; M = Mo, W) are useful for the synthesis of chalcogen bridged compounds (μ-E)[(η⁵-C₅R₅)(CO)₃M]₂. The heterodinuclear chalcogen bridge complexes thus generated form metathesis equilibria with their corresponding homodinuclear systems.     

First examples of η- and η --- η-coordination in triphosphorus analogues of ferrocene. Crystal structure of the iron sandwich complex [Fe(η-C5H5) (η-C2R2P3)W (CO)5] (R = Bu)

Syntheses of the novel sandwich compounds [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(η⁵-C₂R₂P₃)] and [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(η⁵-C₂R₂P₃)W(CO)₅], (R = Bu^t), are described. The mode of attachment of the [W(CO)₅] fragment in the latter compound has been determined by NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Group 3 and 4 metal alkyl and hydrido complexes containing a linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligand: “constrained geometry” polymerization catalysts for nonpolar and polar monomers

In order to understand the nature of the putative cationic 12-electron species [M(η⁵:η¹-C₅R₄SiMe₂NR′)R″]⁺ of titanium catalysts supported by a linked amido-cyclopentadienyl ligand, several derivatives with different cyclopentadienyl C₅R₄ and amido substituents R′ were studied systematically. The use of tridentate variants (C₅R₄SiMe₂NCH₂CH₂X)²⁻ (C₅R₄=C₅Me₄, C₅H₄, C₅H₃^tBu; X=OMe, SMe, NMe₂) allowed the NMR spectroscopic observation of the titanium benzyl cations [Ti(η⁵:η¹-C₅Me₄SiMe₂NCH₂CH₂X)(CH₂Ph)]⁺. Isoelectronic neutral rare earth metal complexes [Ln(η⁵:η¹-C₅R₄SiMe₂NR′)R″] can be expected to be active for polymerization. To arrive at neutral 12-electron hydride and alkyl species of the rare earth metals, we employed a lanthanide tris(alkyl) complex [Ln(CH₂SiMe₃)₃(THF)₂] (Ln=Y, Lu, Yb, Er, Tb), which allows the facile synthesis of the linked amido-cyclopentadienyl complex [Ln(η⁵:η¹-C₅Me₄SiMe₂NCMe₃)(CH₂SiMe₃)(THF)]. Hydrogenolysis of the linked amido-cyclopentadienyl alkyl complex leads to the dimeric hydrido complex [Ln(η⁵:η¹-C₅Me₄SiMe₂NCMe₃)(THF)(μ-H)]₂. These complexes are single-site, single-component catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene and a variety of polar monomers such as acrylates and acrylonitrile. Nonpolar monomers such as -olefins and styrene, in contrast, give isolable mono-insertion products which allow detailed studies of the initiation process.     

Interaction of half-sandwich alkylmolybdenum(III) complexes with B(C6F5)3. The X-ray structure of [CpMo(η-C4H6)(μ-Cl)(μ-CH2)(O)MoCp][CH3B(C6F5)3]

The reactions of the half-sandwich molybdenum(III) complexes CpMo(η⁴-C₄H₄R₂)(CH₃)₂, where Cp=η⁵-C₅H₅ and R=H or CH₃, with equimolar amounts of B(C₆F₅)₃ have been investigated in toluene. EPR monitoring shows the formation of an addition product which does not readily react with Lewis bases such as ethylene, pyridine, or PMe₃. The analysis of the EPR properties and the X-ray structure of a decomposition product obtained from dichloromethane, [CpMo(η⁴-C₄H₆)(μ-Cl)(μ-CH₂)(O)MoCp][CH₃B(C₆F₅)₃], indicate that the borane attack has occurred at the methyl position.     

Bis(η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-and(ηcyclopentadienyl) (η-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-platinium dications: Pt(IV) metallocenes

Reaction of [Pt₂(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂(η-Br)₃]³⁺(Br⁻)₃ with C₅R₅H (R = H,Me) in the presence of AgBF₄ gives the first platinocenium dications, [Pt(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(η⁵-C₅R₅)]²⁺(BF₄⁻ )₂. On electrochemical reduction, [pt(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂]²⁺ yields [Pt(η⁴-C₅Me₅H)(η²-C₅Me₅)]+ BF₄⁻. kw]Cyclopentadienyl; Metallocenes; Platinum; Electrochemistry     

New heterodimetallic cyclopentadienyl carbonyl complexes: crystal structure of (C5Me4Et)(μ-CO)3Ru(C5Me5)

A series of heterodimetallic complexes of general formula (C₅R₅)M(μ-CO)₃RuC₅Me₅ (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = Me, Et) has been prepared in good yields by the reaction of [C₅R₅M(CO)₃]⁻ with [C₅Me₅Ru(CH₃CN)₃]⁺. (C₅Me₄Et)W(μ-CO)₃Ru(C₅Me₅) was characterized by a crystal structure determination. The W---Ru bond length of 2.41 Å is consistent with the formulation of a metal-metal triple bond, while the unsymmetrical bonding mode of the three bridging carbonyl groups reflects the inherent non-equivalence of the two different C₅R₅M-units. Using [CpRu(CH₃CN)₃]⁺ or [CpRu(CO)₂(CH₃CN)]⁺ as the cationic precursor leads to the formation of dimetallic species (C₅R₅)M(CO)₅RuC₅H₅ with both bridging and terminal carbonyl groups.     

Substituted metal carbonyls XXIII . Syntheses of unicoordinated diphosphine complexes of Cr and Mo and their entry into heterobimetallics MM′(CO)10(μ-P-P) [M, M′= Cr, Mo, W; P---P = Ph2P(CH2)nPPh2, n = 2–4] as metalloligands

A series of pentacarbonyl complexes of chromium and molybdenum with unicoordinated-diphosphines, M(CO)₅(η¹-P-P) (P-P = dppe, dppp, dppb) has been prepared by amine oxide-induced phosphine substitution of the binary carbonyls. The basicity of the pendant phosphine groups was demonstrated by their ready conversion to the diphosphine-bridged heterobimetallic complexes (OC)₅M(μ-P-P)M′(CO)₅ (M, M′= Cr, Mo, W; M ≠ M′) in the presence of MCO)₅(CH₃CN). The complexes were characterized by IR and NMR (¹H and ³¹P-{¹H}) spectroscopy.     

Highly stereoselective reduction of methyl ketone complexes of the chiral Lewis acid [(η-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)] by K(s-C4H9)3BH; synthesis of optically active secondary alcohols and derivatives

Reaction of optically active ketone complexes (+)-(R)-[(η⁵-C₅H₅)Re(NO)-(PPh₃)(η¹-O=C(R)(CH₃)]⁺ BF₄⁻ (R = CH₂CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂m C(CH₃)₃, C₆H₅) with K(s-C₄H₉)₃BH gives alkoxide complexes (+)-(RS)-(η⁵-C₅H₅)Re(NO)(PPh₃)-(OCH(R)CH₃) (73–90%) in 80–98% de. The alkoxide ligand is then converted to Mosher esters (93–99%) of 79–98% de.     

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization of norbornene and norbornadiene by tungsten(II) and molybdenum(II) complexes

The reaction of norbornene (NBE) and norbornadiene (NBD) in the presence of seven-coordinate tungsten(II) and molybdenum(II) complexes of the [(CO)₄M(μ-Cl)₃M(SnCl₃)(CO)₃] and [MCl(M′Cl₃)(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] (M=W, Mo; M′=Sn, Ge) types leads to ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and to the formation of high molecular weight polymers. The geometric structure of these polymers was determined by means of ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. The monitoring of the reaction between cyclic olefins and the metal complex by means of ¹H-NMR spectroscopy allowed us to observe the coordination of NBD to metal atoms in the initiation step of the polymerization process. Compounds of the [MCl(SnCl₃)(CO)₃(η⁴-NBD)] type prepared directly from [(CO)₄M(μ-Cl)₃M(SnCl₃)(CO)₃] or [MCl(M′Cl₃)(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] (M=W, Mo) in the presence of an excess of NBD initiate the ROMP reaction immediately. The detection of the first-formed products in the reaction between the metal complex and cyclic olefins provides valuable information concerning the nature of the initiating species.     

Mehrfachbindungen zwischen Hauptgruppenelementen und Übergangsmetallen : XLVI. Organoeisen-Komplexe mit Selen-Brücken

The nucleophilicity of the bridging atom of the selenium complex (μ-Se)[(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂]₂ (1) has been demonstrated by addition of the complex cation [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂]⁺: Reaction of 1 with the ionic complex [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂-(THF)][BF₄] cleanly yields the ionic trinuclear complex [(μ₃-Se)(η⁵-C₅H₅)-Fe(CO)₂₃][BF₄] (3). This addition reaction converts the bridging selenium atom from a bent FeSeFe structure into a flattened Fe₃Se pyramid (X-ray diffraction studies), without significant changes in the iron-selenium bond lengths (244.9(<1) pm and 242.7(1)/243.3(1)/244.8(1) pm, respectively). These bonds are considered to be single bonds in accord with the EAN rule.     

Some additional aspects of versatile starting compounds for cationic organoiron complexes: molecular structure of the aqua complex [(η-C5Me4Et)Fe(CO)2(OH2)]BF4 and solution behavior of the THF complex [(η---C5R5)Fe(CO)2(THF)]BF4

The structures of the versatile starting compounds for organoiron complexes, the cationic aqua complex [(η⁵-C₅Me₄Et)Fe(CO)₂(OH₂)]BF₄ (1b) and the halide complexes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)Fe(CO)₂-I (2a), (η⁵-C₅Me₄Et)Fe(CO)₂-I (2b) and (η⁵-C₅Me₄Et)Fe(CO)₂-Cl (3b), are characterized by X-ray crystallography. Complex 1b [Fe---O: 2.022(8) Å and 2.043(9) Å, two independent molecules] is the first structurally characterized example of organoiron aqua complexes. Details of the synthetic procedures for the above complexes and the labile cationic THF complexes [η⁵-C₅R₅)Fe(CO)₂(THF)]BF₄ (4) are disclosed, and the dissociation equilibrium of 4 is confirmed by means of variable temperature ¹H-NMR as well as saturation transfer experiment.     

Synthese und konformationsstudien von selen-analoga der metallocen-dithiolen-chelate früher übergangsmetalle

The reaction of the metallocene dichlorides Cp₂MCl₂ (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅; M = Ti, Zr, Hf, Mo, W) and Cp₂′TiCl₂ (Cp′ = η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃) with equimolar amounts of dilithium-benzene-o-diselenolate, 1,2-(LiSe)₂C₆H₄, gives the chelate complexes Cp₂M(Se₂C₆H₄) (M = Ti (I), Zr (II), Hf (III), Mo (IV), W (V)) and Cp₂′Ti(Se₂C₆H₄) (VI). CpTiCl₃ reacts with 1,2-(LiSe)₂C₆H₄ to give CpTiCl(Se₂C₆H₄) (VII). The ring inversion activation parameters for I–VI can be determined by means of temperature-dependent ¹H NMR spectroscopy in solution. The fragmentation behaviour of I–VII in the mass spectrometer has been investigated by pursuing metastable transitions, using linked-scan techniques.     

The lively chemistry of the di-μ-methylene-bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium) complexes, analogues of surface reactions in heterogeneous catalysis

The chemistry of the di-μ-methylene-bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-rhodium) complexes is reviewed. The complex [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)RhCl₂}₂] (1a) reacted with MeLi to give, after oxidative work-up, blood-red cis-[{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(Me)₂], 2. This has the two rhodiums in the +4 oxidation state (d⁵), and linked by a metal-metal bond (2.620 Å). Trans-2 was formed on isomerisation of cis-2 in the presence of Lewis acids, or by direct reaction of 1a with Al₂Me₆, followed by dehydrogenation with acetone. The Rh-methyls in [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(Me)₂] were readily replaced under acidic conditions (HX) to give [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(X)₂] (X = Cl, Br or I); these latter complexes reacted with a variety of RMgX to give [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(R)₂] (R = alkyl, Ph, vinyl, etc.). Trans-2 also reacted with HBF₄ in the presence of L to give first [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(Me)(L)]⁺ and then [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(L)₂]²⁺ (L = MeCN, CO, etc.). The {(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂ core is rather kinetically inert and also forms a variety of complexes with oxy-ligands, both cis-, e.g. [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(μ-OAc)]⁺ and trans-, such as [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺. The complexes [{(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(R)L]⁺ (R = Me or aryl) in the presence of CO, or [{(η⁵-C₄Me₅)Rh(μ-CH₂)}₂(R)₂] (R = Me, Ph or CO₂Me) in the presence of mild oxidants, readily yield the C---C---C coupled products RCH=CH₂. The mechanisms of these couplings have been elucidated by detailed labelling studies: they are more complex than expected, but allow direct analogies to be drawn to C---C couplints that occur during Fischer-Tropsch reactions on rhodium surfaces.     

Synthesis and decomposition of neutral palladium(IV) complexes containing fac-PdMe2R groups, including reductive elimination by η-propenylpalladium(IV) complexes to form η-propenylpalladium(II) species

Oxidative addition of ethyl iodide to PdMe₂(2,2′-bipyridyl) in (CD₃)₂CO gives the unstable “PdIMe₂Et(bpy)”, which undergoes reductive elimination to form PdIR(bpy) (R = Me, Et), ethane, and propane. Ethene and palladium metal are also formed, and are attributed to decomposition of PdIEt(bpy) via β-elimination. Similar results are obtained with n-propyl iodide, although a palladium(IV) intermediate was not detected, but CH₂=CHCH₂X (X = Br, I) and PhCH=CHCH₂Br give isolable complexes fac-PdXMe₂(CH₂CH=CHR)(L₂) (R = H, Ph; L₂ = bpy, phen). The propenyl complexes decompose at ambient temperature to form ethane, a trace of PdXMe(L₂), and mixtures of [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(L₂)]X and [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(L₂)]-[Pd(η³-C₃H₅)X₂]; for fac-PdBrMe₂(CH₂CH=CH₂)(bpy) the major palladium(II) product is [Pd(η³-C₃H₅)(bpy)]Br.     

双核茂金属催化剂的合成、表征与应用

Photochemical reactions of alkynyl iron (II) complexes with carbon disulfide. Insertion of CS2 into an iron-C(sp) bond

The novel alkynyldithiocarboxylate complexes [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(S₂CCCR) (dppm-P)] (3a,b) and [Fe(η₅-C₅H₅)(S₂CCCR)(PPh₃)] (4a,b) were obtained through the insertion of CS₂ into the iron-akynyl bond in the complexes [Fe(η₅-C₅H₅)(CCR)(L)(L′] L, L′ = dppm R = Ph (1a), ^tBu(1b); L = (CO), L′ = (PPh₃) R = Ph (2a), ^tBu (2b). Variable-temperature ³¹P{¹H} NMR studies indicate the presence of two different isomers, [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(η³-S,C,S′---S₂CCCR)(L)(L′)] and [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅(η²-S,S′-S₂CCCR)(L)(L′)], which rapidly interconvert at room temperature. The synthesis of the precursor complex [Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CC^tBu)(CO)(PPh₃)] is also described.     

Tri-, penta-, and hexa-phospha ruthenocenes

Synthesis and structural studies of the ruthenium(II) ‘sandwich’ complexes [Ru(η⁵-P₃C₂^tBu₂)₂], [Ru(η⁵-P₃C₂C₂^tBu₂)(η⁵-P₂C₃^tBu₃)], [Ru(η⁵-C₅R₅)(η⁵-P₃C₂^tBu₂)] (R=H, Me) are described. The results of a single crystal X-ray structural study of [Ru(η⁵-P₃C₂^tBu₂)₂] are discussed.     

Substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands—10. Intramolecular steric interactions in [(η-C5H3(SiMe3)2)Mo(CO)2(L)I]

Reaction of C₅H₄(SiMe₃)₂ with Mo(CO)₆ yielded [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂)Mo(CO)₃]₂, which on addition of iodine gave [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂Mo(CO)₃I]. Carbonyl displacement by a range of ligands: [L = P(OMe)₃, P(OPrⁱ)₃,P(O-o-tol)₃, PMe₃, PMe₂Ph, PMePh₂, PPh₃, P(m-tol)₃] gave the new complexes [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂ MO(CO)₂(L)I]. For all the trans isomer was the dominant, if not exclusive, isomer formed in the reaction. An NOE spectral analysis of [(η⁵-C₅H₃(SiMe₃)₂)Mo(CO)₂(L)I] L = PMe₂Ph, P(OMe)₃] revealed that the L group resided on the sterically uncongested side of the cyclopentadienyl ligand and that the ligand did not access the congested side of the molecule. Quantification of this phenomenon [L = P(OMe)₃] was achieved by means of the vertex angle of overlap methodology. This methodology revealed a steric preference with the trans isomer (less congestion of CO than I with an SiMe₃ group) being the more stable isomer for L = P(OMe)₃.     

Stabile Bis(η-alkin)MCl2-komplexe; Darstellung und reaktivität

The synthesis and reactivity of {(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CCSiMe₃)₂} MCl₂ (M = Fe: 3a; M = Co: 3b; M = Ni: 3c) is described. The complexes 3 are accessible by the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃) ₂Ti(CSiMe₃)₂ (1) with equimolar amounts of MCl₂ (2) (M = Fe, Co, Ni). 3a reacts with the organic chelat ligands 2,2′-dipyridyl (dipy) (4a) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (4b) in THF at 25°C to afford in quantitative yields (η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CSiMe₃)₂ (1) and [Fe(dipy)₂]Cl₂ (5a) or [Fe(phen)₂]Cl₂ (5b). 1/n[Cu^IHal]_n (6) or 1/n[Ag^IHal]_n (7) (Hal = Cl, Br) react with {(η⁵ -C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CCSiMe₃)₂}FeCl₂ (3a), by replacement of the FeCl₂ building block in 3a, to yield the compounds {(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(C CSiMe₃)₂}Cu^IHal (8) or {(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CSiMe₃)₂}Ag^IHal (9) (Hal = Cl, Br), respectively. In 8 and 9 each of the two Me₃SiCC-units is η²-coordinated to monomeric Cu^I Hal or Ag^IHal moieties. Compounds 8 and 9 can also be synthesized by the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂ Ti(CSiMe₃)₂ (1) with 1/n[Cu^IHal]_n (6) or 1/n [Ag^IHal]_n (7) in excellent yields. All new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H-NMR, MS). The magnetic moments of compounds 3 were measured.     

Photochemical reactions of the isostructural 17- and 18-electron complexes (η-C5H5)M(Me)PPh3 (M=Co, Ni)

The photochemical reactions of the title complexes were studied in air-free benzene solution. In both cases photolysis leads to the production of complexes of the formula (η⁵-C₅H₅)M(PPh₃)₂. Both reactions are the result of the initial loss of a methyl radical from the excited state. The primary photoproduct, (η⁵-C₅H₅)MPPh₃ (M=CO, Ni), then scavenges neutral ligands from the solution to yield, in the case of PPh₃, (η⁵-C₅H₅)M(PPh₃)₂. In the absence of uncoordinated ligand in the reaction solution, the cobalt derivative reacts with the starting material to yield (η⁵-C₅H₅)Co(PPh₃)₂, a methyl radical and (η⁵-C₅H₅)Co(solvent)_n.
