Heterometallische Clusterkomplexe der Typen Re2(μ-PR2)(CO)8(HgY) und ReMo(μ-PR2)(η5-C5H5)(CO)6(HgY) (R = Ph,Cy; Y = Cl,W(η5-C5H5)(CO)3)

Heterometallic Cluster Complexes of the Types Re₂(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈(HgY) and ReMo(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgY) (R = Ph, Cy; Y = Cl, W(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃) Dinuclear complexes Re₂(μ-H)(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈ and ReMo(μ-H)(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆ (R = phenyl, cyclohexyl) were deprotonated and reacted as anions with HgCl₂ to compounds of the both types Re₂(μ-PR₂)(CO)₈HgCl) and ReMo(μ-PR₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl). The heterometallic three-membered cluster complexes correspond to an isolobal exchange of a proton against a cationic HgCl⁺ group. For one of the products ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl) has been shown its conversion with NaW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃ to ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(HgW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃) under substitution of the chloro ligand, par example. The newly prepared compounds were characterized by means of IR, UV/VIS and ³¹P NMR data. A complete determination of the molecular structure by single crystal analyses was done in the case of Re₂(μ-PCy₂)(CO)₈(HgCl) and of ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgCl) which both are dimer because of the presence of an asymmetric dichloro bridge, and of ReMo(μ-PCy₂)(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₆(HgW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃). The structural study illustrates through comparison the influence of various metal types on an interaction between centric and edge-bridged frontier orbitals in three-membered metal rings.     

Synthesis of a transition metal-dithionite complex, (η5-C5H5)(CO)2FeS(O)2S(O)2Fe(CO)2(η5-C5H5)

The reaction of Na[η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂] with large excess of SO₂ in THF at ?78°C followed by warming to room temperature affords an iron—dithionite complex, (η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂FeS(O)₂S(O)₂Fe(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅).     

Evidence for the iron formyl (η5-C5H5)Fe(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)(CHO)

Evidence for (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)(CHO) as an intermediate in the reduction of [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)CO]PF₆ to (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)H(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) and for a metal-carbonyl hydride-formyl equilibrium is described.     

Reactions of (η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2(η1-C5H5) with phosphorus donor ligands

The course of the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂(η¹-C₅H₅) with phosphorus donor ligands depends strongly on the nature of the ligand; products derived from an Arbuzov-like rearrangement or from reduction have been found as well as the expected simple substitution product. The dynamic PMR behavior of (η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(CO) (P(OPh)₃) (η¹-C₅H₅) has been examined.     

Intermediates in associative phosphine substitution reactions of (η5-C5H5)W(CO)2(NO)

The reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₅)W(CO)₂(NO), 6W, with P(CH₃)₃ proceeds rapidly at 25°C to give (η⁵-C₅H₅)W(CO)(NO)[P(CH₃)₃], 7W. The rate of formation of 7W was found to be 4.48 × 10^?2M^?1 [6W] [P(CH₃)₃] at 25.0°c in THF. In neat P(CH₃)₃ at ?23°C, 6W is converted to (η¹-C₅H₅)W(CO)₂(NO)[P(CH₃)₃]₂, 8W. In dilute solution, 8W decomposes to initially give a 2:1 mixture of 6W and 7W. The mixture is then converted to 7W. The reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₅)Mo(CO)(NO), 6Mo, with P(CH₃)₃ is 6.1 times faster than that of the tungsten analog.     

Structural characterization of the anionic halfsandwich complex [Li(TMEDA)2][Mo(η5-C5H5)(CO)3] and its reactivity towards stannanes and distannanes

The crystal structure of the molybdenum half sandwich alkali salt [Li(TMEDA)₂][Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃] shows the occurrence of a separated ion pair in the solid state. Furthermore, the crystal structures of the long known organotin complexes [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(SnMe₃)(CO)₃], [{Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃}₂SnMe₂] and [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(SnMeCl₂)(CO)₃] have been recorded. The chlorination of [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(SnMe₃)(CO)₃] with SnCl₄ is presented as an improved synthetic access to [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(SnMeCl₂)(CO)₃]. Finally, the reaction of Li[Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃] with ^tBu₂(Cl)Sn–Sn(Cl)^tBu₂ leads to the novel molybdenum distannane complex [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅){Sn^tBu₂-Sn(Cl)^tBu₂}(CO)₃], which is fully characterized by NMR, elemental and X-ray analysis.     

Regiospecificity in the reaction of [Fe2(η-C5H5)2(CO)4-n(CNMe)n] (n  02) with mercury(II) halides

The reactions of [Fe₂(η-C₅H₅)₂(CO)₂(L)(CNMe)] (L  CO or CNME) with HgX₂ (X  Cl, Br or I) give [Fe(η-C₅H₅)(CO)₂HgX] and [Fe(η-C₅H₅)(L)-(CNMe)X] as the sole products in ca. quantitative yields; this is consistent with the previously proposed mechanism for the reactions of electrophiles with polynuclear metal carbonyl derivatives.     

Preparation of new (η5-C5H4CH3)Mn(NO)(PPh3) and (η7-C7H7)Mo(CO)-(PPh3) complexes

The complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I has been prepared by the reaction of NaI with [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)(PPh₃)]⁺ and also by the reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ with NaI followed by PPh₃. This iodide compound reacts with NaCN to yield (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)CN which is ethylated by [(C₂H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)(CNC₂H₅)]⁺. Both [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ and [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)(CO)]⁺ react with NaCN to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CN)₂]^?. This anion reacts with Ph₃SnCl to yield cis-(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CN)₂SnPh₃ and with [(C₂-H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CNC₂H₅)₂]⁺. The reaction of (η⁵-C₅-H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I with AgBF₄ in acetonitrile yields [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn-(NO)(PPh₃)(NCCH₃)]⁺. The complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)I, produced in the reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ with NaI, is not stable and decomposes to the dimeric complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)₂Mn₂(NO)₃I for which a reasonable structure is proposed. Similar dimers can be prepared from the other halide salts. The reaction of (η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)I with NaCN yields (η⁷-C₇-H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)CN which is ethylated by [(C₂H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁷-C₇H₇)-Mo(CO)(PPh₃)(CNC₂H₅)]⁺. The interaction of this molybdenum halide complex with AgBF₄ in acetonitrile and pyridine yields [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)-(NCCH₃)]⁺ and [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)(NC₅H₅)]⁺, respectively. Both (η⁵-C₅-H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I and (η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)I are oxidized by NOPF₆ to the respective 17-electron cations in acetonitrile at ?78°C but revert to the neutral halide complex at room temperature. This result is supported by electrochemical data.     

Synthese d'une phosphine contenant du titane(II), (η5-C5H5)[η7-C7H6P(C6H5)2]Ti,ET DEcomplexes heterobimetalliques

Reaction of chlorodiphenylphosphine with (η⁵-C₅H₅)(η⁷-C₇H₆Li)Ti gave (η⁵-C₅H₅)[η⁷-C₇H₆P(C₆H₅)₂]Ti in good yields. This novel phosphinetitanium (II) derivative displaced one carbonyl of metal carbonyl complexes [Ni(CO)₄, Fe(CO)₅ and Mo(CO)₆] to afford heterobimetallic complexes containing low valent titanium, and behaved as a poor electron-donating phosphine.     

Synthesis and characterization of complexes η5,η5-(CO)3Mn(C5H4-C5H4)(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)3 and μ-(C≡C)[C5H4(CO)2Fe-η1,η5-C5H4Mn(CO)3]2

The complex η⁵,η⁵-(CO)₃Mn(C₅H₄-C₅H₄)(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ was synthesized by the reaction of η⁵-Cp(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ with BuⁿLi (THF, ?78 °C) and then with anhydrous CuCl₂. The complex μ-(C≡C)[C₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃]₂ was prepared by the reaction of η⁵-IC₅H₄(CO)₂Fe-η¹,η⁵-C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ with Me₃SnC≡CSnMe₃ (2:1) in the presence of Pd(MeCN)₂Cl₂.     

Sequential conversion of ethyne into μ-vinylidene, μ-methylcarbyne and μ-methylcarbene at a di-ruthenium centre: X-ray structures of [Ru2(CO)2(μ-CO) (μ-CCH2) (η-C5H5)2] and [Ru2(CO)2(μ-CO) (μ-CCH3) (η-C5H5)2] [BF4]

The ethyne-derived demetallocycle [Ru₂(CO) (μ-CO){μ-C(O)C₂H₂}(η-C₅H₅)₂ isomerises in boiling toluene to yield the μ-vinylidene complex [Ru₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)(μ-CCH₂) (η-C₅H₅)₂], which on protonation with dry HBF₄ provides the μ-carbyne complex [Ru₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)(μ-CCH₃)(η-C₅H₅)₂][BF₄]; the structure of each product has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The μ-carbyne cation is attacked by hydride to produce the μ-methylcarbene complex [Ru₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)(μ-CHCH₃)(η-C₅H₅)₂].     

Organometalloidal derivatives of the transition metals: IX. Synthesis and the crystal structure of (η5-C5H5)Fe(CO)2SiMe2-SiPh3

Reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂FeNa with ClSiMe₂-SiPh₃ yields (η⁵-C₅H₅)-Fe(CO)₂SiMe₂-SiPh₃. The crystal structure of the compound has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The SiSi bond distance is 2.374(1) Å, which is longer by 0.018 Å than that in Me₃Si-SiPh₃. This difference is in agreement with spectroscopic data, and is presumably due to the σ-donor property of the silyl group. The SiFe bond length is 2.346(1) Å.     

Zur Reaktivität von Disilylarsenido-Eisenkomplexen gegenüber Carbonsäurechloriden Die ersten Arsaalkenyl- und Diacylarsenidokomplexe. Röntgen-Strukturanalyse von Z-[(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe?AsC(OSiMe3)(t-Bu)]

On the Reactivity of Disilylarsenido Iron Complexes towards Carbonyl Chlorides: The First Arsaalkenyl- and Diacylarsenido Complexes. X-Ray Structure Analysis of Z-[(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Fe? As?C(OSiMe₃)(t-Bu)] The reaction of equimolar amounts of (η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂FeAs(SiMe₃)₂ ( 1a ) with the carbonyl chlorides RC(O)Cl (R = t-Bu, 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂ and 2,4,6-t-Bu₃C₆H₂) yields the arsaalkenyl complexes Z-[(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Fe? As?;C(OSiMe₃)R ( 2–4 )]. The diacylarsenido complexes (η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂Fe? As[C(O)R]₂ ( 5, 6 ) are generated by treatment of 1a with two equivalents of pivaloyl chloride or mesitoyl chloride, respectively. The As?C-double bond length of 2 (1.821(2) Å) was determined by single crystal x-ray analysis.     

Cumulative author index: Vol 251 (1983)—275 (1984)

By reaction of (η-C₅H₅)W(CO)₃SH with Os₃(CO)₁₁(NCCH₃) the (η⁵-C₅H₅)W(CO)₃S unit is introduced into the trinuclear osmium cluster through the sulfur atom. The primary reaction product (μ₂-H)Os₃(CO)₁₀[μ₂-SW(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃] can be converted thermally into the pyramidal Os₃SW cluster (η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₁₁, whose structure was solved by a single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The molecule has a pyramidal Os₃SW skeleton with, in a first approximation a planar Os₃S basis. Only two of the three OsOs distances are in accordance with chemical bonds.     

Metal dimers as catalysts : III. The reaction between Fe(CO)5, and group V donor ligands in the presence of [(η5-C5H4R)Fe(CO)222]2 (R  H,Me) and [(η5-C5Me5)Fe(CO)2]2 as catalyst

The reaction between Fe(CO)₅, and group V donor ligands L, (L  PPh₃, AsPh₃, SbPh₃, PMePh₂, PMe₂Ph, Asme₂Ph, P(C₆H₁₁)₃, P(n-Bu)₃, P(i-Bu)₃, P(OPh)₃, P(OEt)₃, P(OMe)₃) in the presence of [(η⁵-C₅Me₅Fe(CO)₂]₂ (R  H, Me) or [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Fe(CO)₂]₂ as catalyst in refluxing toluene, rapidly gives the complexes Fe(CO)₄L in yields > 85%. The reaction rate is essentially independent of the nature of L for [(η₅-C₅Me₅)Fe(CO)₂]₂ as catalyst. For the other catalysts, the rate is influenced predominantly by the steric properties of L. These results are interpreted in terms of the interaction between the catalyst and the ligand L to give derivatives of the type (η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Fe₂,(CO)₃,(L). These derivatives were also found to catalyse the reaction between Fe(CO)₅, and L. The complexes [(η-C₅H₄R)Fe(CO)₂]₂ (R  H, Me) and [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Fe(CO)₂]₂ also catalyse the reaction between Mn₂(CO)₁₀ and PPh₃ to give Mn₂(CO)₈- PPh₃)₂ in > 80% yield.     

Übergangsmetall-substituierte Acylphosphane und Phosphaalkene. 22 [1] Insertionen von Hexafluoraceton in die PX-Bindung von Metallophosphanen des Typs (η5-C5Me5)(CO)2M?PX2 (M = Fe,Ru; X = Me3Si,Cl). Strukturbestimmung von (η5-C5Me5)(CO)2Fe?P(SiMe3)C(CF3)2(OSiMe3)

Transition Metal-substituted Acylphosphanes and Phosphaalkenes. 22. Insertions of Hexafluoroacetone into the PX-Bond of Metallophosphanes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M? PX₂ (M = Fe, Ru; X = Me₃Si, Cl). Structure Determination of (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe? P(SiMe₃)C(CF₃)₂(OSiMe₃) Reaction of the metallophosphanes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M? P(SiMe₃)₂ ( 1a : M = Fe; 1b : M = Ru) with hexafluoroacetone (HFA) afforded the complexes (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M? P(SiMe₃)C(CF₃)₂(OSiMe₃) ( 2a, b ). The attempted synthesis of a metallophosphaalkene from 2a by thermal elimination of hexamethyldisiloxane failed. The acid catalyzed hydrolysis of 2a afforded compound (η⁵-C₅Me₅) · (CO)₂Fe? P(H)C(CF₃)₂(OSiMe₃) ( 3 ). Hexafluoracetone and (η⁵-C₅Me₅)(CO)₂Fe? PCl₂ ( 4 ) under-went reaction to give the metallochlorophosphan (η⁵-C₅Me₅) · (CO)₂Fe? P(Cl)? O? C(CF₃)₂Cl ( 5 ). Constitutions and configurations of the compounds ( 2–5 ) were established by elemental analyses and spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H-, ¹³C, ¹⁹F-, ²⁹Si-, ³¹P-NMR, MS). The molecular structure of 2a was determined by x-ray diffraction analysis.     

The reversible decarbonylation of methyl- and acetyldicarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)iron complexes in polyvinyl-chloride film matrices at 12–200 K

Infrared spectroscopic experiments using polyvinyl chloride film matrices at 12–200 K have shown for the first time that the photoinduced decarbonylation of Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂(COCH₃) is thermally reversible, and that the photolysis of Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₂(CH₃) leads to the reversible formation of the new species Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)(CH₃).     

Dithiocarbamate complexes of cyclopentadienylcobalt(III), [Co(η-C5H5)(L)(S2CNR2)] (L = ligand)

The reactions of [Co(η-C₅H₅)(L)I₂] with Na[S₂CNR₂] (R = alkyl or phenyl) give [Co(η-C₅H₅)(I)(S₂CNR₂)] (I) when L = CO and [Co(η-C₅H₅)(L)(S₂CNR₂)]I (II) when L is a tertiary phosphine, phosphite or stibine, or organo-isocyanide ligand. In similar reactions [Co(η-C₅H₅)(CO)(C₃F₇)I] gives [Co(η-C₅H₅)(C₃F₇)(S₂CNMe₂)] and [Mn(η-MeC₅H₄)(CO)₂(NO)]PF₆ forms [Mn(η-MeC₅H₄)(NO)(S₂CNR₂)]. The iodide ligands in I may be displaced by L, to give II, or by other ligands such as [CN]^?, [NCS]^?, H₂O or pyridine whilst SnCl₂ converts it to SnCl₂I. The iodide counter-anion in II may be replaced by others to give [BPh₄]^?, [Co(CO)₄]^? or [NO₃]^? salts. However [CN]^? acts differently and displaces (PhO)₃P from [Co(η-C₅H₅){P(OPh)₃}(S₂CNMe)]I to give [Co(η-C₅H₅)(CN)(S₂CNMe₂)] which may be alkylated reversibly by MeI and irreversibly by MeSO₃F to [Co(η-C₅H₅)(CNMe)(S₂CNMe₂)]⁺ salts. Conductivity measurements suggest that solutions of I in donor solvents are partially ionized with the formation of [Co(η-C₅H₅)(solvent)(S₂CNR₂)]⁺ I^? species. The IR and ¹H NMR spectra of the various complexes are reported. They are consistent with pseudo-octahedral “pianostool” molecular structures in which the bidentate dithiocarbamate ligands are coordinated to the metal atoms through both sulphur atoms.     

The μ3-cyclopentadienylidene ligand: X-ray structure of [Ru4(CO)5 {P(OMe)3}(μ3-C5H4)2(η-C5H5)2]

UV irradiation of [Ru₂(CO)₄(η-C₅H₅)₂] yields the tri- and tetra-ruthenium complexes [Ru₂(CO)₄(η-C₅H₅){η-C₅H₄Ru(CO)₂(η-C₅H₅)}] and [Ru₄(CO)₆(μ₃-C₅H₄)₂(η-C₅H₅)₂]. The μ₃-C₅H₄ ligand in the latter has been characterised through an X-ray diffraction study on [Ru₄(CO)₅{P(OMe)₃}(μ₃-C₅H₄)₂(η-C₅H₅)₂].     

Photoinduced Elimination of H2 from [Mo(η5-C5H5)2H2]. Generation of Molybdenocene.

Ultraviolet irradiation of deaerated solutions of [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂H₂] results in elimination of H₂ and generation of [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂]. The transient molybdenocene can be trapped with substrates such as CO, C₂H₂, and PR₃ to yield stable adducts, but in the absence of substrate, oligomerization to the previously described [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂]_x occurs.
