Synthesis and structural characterisation of the palladium N-heterocyclic carbene cluster complexes [Pd3(μ-CO)3(NHC)3] and [Pd3(μ-SO2)3(NHC)3]

The reduction of trans-[Pd(NHC)₂Cl₂] (NHC = IMes, 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; IⁱPr₂ = 1,3-bis-isopropylimidazol-2-ylidene) with potassium graphite under an atmosphere of CO affords the palladium NHC carbonyl clusters [Pd₃(μ-CO)₃(NHC)₃] (NHC = IMes, 1; IⁱPr₂, 3). Treatment of 1 with SO₂ at room temperature yields the bridging SO₂ complex [Pd₃(μ-SO₂)₃(IMes)₃] (4) in quantitative yield. Complexes 1, 3 and 4 have been structurally characterised by X-ray crystallography.     

Thiolate-bridged heterometallic complexes of manganese and platinum: Synthesis and molecular structures of (CO)4Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)2, (CO)3(PPh3)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(CO), and (CO)3Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(Dppm)

A reaction of the dimer [Mn(CO)₄(SPh)]₂ with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) gave the heterometallic complex (CO)₄Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)₂ (I) and its isomer (CO)₃(PPh₃)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(CO) (II). A reaction of complex I with a diphosphine ligand (Dppm) yielded the heterometallic complex (CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(Dppm) (III). Complexes I–III were characterized by X-ray diffraction. In complex I, the single Mn-Pt bond (2.6946(3) ?) is supplemented with a thiolate bridge with the shortened Pt-S and Mn-S bonds (2.3129(5) and 2.2900(6) ?, respectively). Unlike complex I, in complex II, one phosphine group at the Pt atom is exchanged for one CO group at the Mn atom. The Mn-Pt bond (2.633(1) ?) and the thiolate bridge (Pt-S, 2.332(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.291(2) ?) are retained. In complex III, the Mn-Pt bond (2.623(1) ?) is supplemented with thiolate (Pt-S, 2.341(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.292(2) 0?) and Dppm bridges (Pt-P, 2.240(1)?; Mn-P, 2.245(2) ?). Apparently, the Pt atom in complexes I–III is attached to the formally double bond , as in Pt complexes with olefins.     

Stable radical adducts of diisopropylphosphoryl radicals with fullerene complexes (η2-C60)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut) and (η2-C70)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut)

It was determined by ESR spectroscopy that the UV irradiation of toluene solutions containing Hg[P(O)(OPrⁱ)₂ and the complex (²-C₆₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) produces six stable regioisomeric adducts of phosphoryl radicals with complexes, which are not demetallated under UV irradiation and do not dimerize in the absence of UV irradiation. This is caused by the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the carbon atoms of fullerene localized near the metal-containing moiety. The addition of the phosphoryl radicals to (²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) gives rise to the formation of nine stable regioisomeric radical adducts. A comparison of the composition of regioisomers of the radical adducts of C₇₀ with the phosphoryl radicals, which were formed directly from C₇₀ and from the radical adducts of ²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) by the demetallation of the latter, revealed an orienting effect of the osmium-containing moiety on the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the fullerene complex.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The structurally characterised silyl complexes, Os(κ-S2CNMe2)(SiMeCl2)(CO)(PPh3)2 and Os(κ-S2CNMe2)(SiCl3)(CO)(PPh3)2, which have remarkably unreactive Si-Cl bonds

Treatment of Os(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)H(CO)(PPh₃)₂ with HSiMeCl₂ or HSiCl₃ gives in high yield Os(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(SiMeCl₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1) or Os(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(SiCl₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (2), respectively. The crystal structures of both compounds have been determined and the Os-Si distances are 2.3672(10) Å for 1 and 2.3449(12) Å for 2. In solution, and under forcing conditions, both compounds are extraordinarily unreactive towards hydroxide ions.     

Phenyltellurenyl halide complexes of ruthenium and rhenium (CO)2RuBr2(PhTeBr)2 and (CO)3Re(PhTeI)3(μ3-I): Synthesis and crystal and molecular structures

Reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with PhTeBr₃ and of Re(CO)₅Cl with PhTeI in benzene give the stable complexes (CO)₂RuBr₂(PhTeBr)₂ (I) and (CO)₃Re(PhTeI)₃(μ³-I) (II) containing two and three ligands PhTeX (X = Br or I), respectively. The bonds between these ligands and the central metal atom are fairly shortened (on average, Ru-Te, 2.608 ?; Re-Te, 2.7554(12)-2.7634(13) ?). The Te-X bonds in the ligands PhTeBr (2.5163(5) ?) and PhTeI (2.7893(15) ?) are not lengthened appreciably. In complex II, the iodide anion is not coordinated by rhenium, yet being attached through weak secondary bonds to three Te atoms of the three ligands PhTeI.     

以[M(DETA)2)]n+(M=Cu2+, Ni2+, Co3+)为客体的MnPS3夹层化合物的合成、结构表征与磁性研究

Formation of the silylene-bridged complex Fe2(CO)6(μ2-SiCl2)3 from cis-Fe(CO)4(SiCl3)2: an experimental and computational study

Abstract  

Thermolysis of cis-Fe(CO)₄(SiCl₃)₂ results in the formation of the novel compound Fe₂(CO)₆(μ₂-SiCl₂)₃, which was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to elucidate possible reaction steps leading to the formation of Fe₂(CO)₆(SiCl₂)₃, including CO dissociation and chlorine abstraction by a SiCl₃ radical generated from homolytic Fe–Si bond cleavage involving a singlet–triplet intersystem crossing.

Reactions of Cu3(dppm)3(μ3-OH)(ClO4)2 (dppm = bis-(diphenylphosphino) methane) with Soft Heterocumulenes

The reaction of [Cu₃(dppm)₃(μ₃-OH)](ClO₄)₂ (1) with heterocumulenes (XCS; X = NPh, NMe and S) has been studied. The μ₃-OH ligand inserts into PhNCS and MeNCS only in the presence of methanol. Insertion products are formed in accord with earlier observations made with copper(I)-aryloxides. On heating, the insertion products convert to a S bridged cluster [Cu₄(dppm)₄(μ₄-S)](ClO₄)₂ (8), having a tetrameric core. However, in the reaction with CS₂, 1 is converted to 8 even at room temperature in the presence of methanol. On the other hand, the dimeric complex [Cu₂(dppm)₂(CH₃CN)₄](ClO₄)₂, reacts with CS₂ to give (diphenylphosphinomethyl)-diphenylphosphine sulfide, Ph₂P-CH₂-P(S)Ph₂ (dppmS), which forms the complex [Cu(dppmS)₂]ClO₄ (9). A single crystal X-ray crystallographic study of 9, the first copper(I) complex of dppmS has been taken up to confirm the mono-oxidation of the dppm ligand and the nuclearity of the complex. Reactions of complex 1 with heterocumulenes and with elemental sulfur, are compared.     

Synthesis and molecular structure of [((CO)3RuBr2)2(μ-SePh)2Ru(CO)4] cluster with a Ru3Se2 chain core

Treatment of ruthenium carbonyl, [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with phenylseleno tribromide PhSeBr₃ afforded a new triruthenium cluster, [(CO)₁₀Br₄Ru₃(μ-SePh)₂] (1). Its molecular structure was determined by single crystal XRD method (P2₁/c; a = 10.514(3) Å; b = 10.814(3) Å; c = 19.063(5) Å; β = 105.064(4)°; V = 2093.1(10) Å³) and shown to have two lateral Ru(CO)₃Br₂ units attached via two PhSe bridges to a Ru(CO)₄ center forming a chain-like Ru-Se-Ru-Se-Ru cluster core. This is in contrast with a recently reported reaction of PhTeBr₃ with [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] which formed a monomeric complex of ruthenium-dicarbonyl-dibromo fragment coordinating two PhTeBr ligands, [(CO)₂RuBr₂(PhTeBr)₂].

The monoanions (η⁵-RC₅H₄)(CO)₃Cr⁻ (1, R=H; 2, R=Me; 3, R=CO₂Et) reacted with tetrahedral cluster FeCo₂(μ₃-S)(CO)₉ to give single isolobal displacement products (η⁵-RC₅H₄)FeCrCo(μ₃-S)(CO)₈ (4, R=H; 5, R=Me; 6, R=CO₂Et) in 86-89% yields, whereas monoanion (η⁵-RC₅H₄)(CO)₃Cr⁻ (7, R=C(O)Me) reacted with FeCo₂(μ₃-S)(CO)₉ to afford the expected single isolobal displacement product (η⁵-RC₅H₄)FeCrCo(μ₃-S)(CO)₈ (8, R=C(O)Me) in 5% yield and an unexpected square pyramidal cluster FeCo₂(μ₃-S)₂(CO)₉ (9) in 45% yield. Similarly, the dianions [η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂(CH₂OCH₂)_nCH₂C₅H₄-η⁵][(CO)₃Cr⁻]₂ (10, n=1; 11, n=2; 12, n=3) reacted with two molecules of FeCo₂(μ₃-S)(CO)₉ to produce double isolobal displacement products [η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂(CH₂OCH₂)_nCH₂C₅H₄-η⁵][FeCrCo(μ₃-S)(CO)₈]₂ (13, n=1; 14, n=2; 15, n=3) in 32-36% yields, while treatment of dianion [η⁵-C₅H₄C(O)CH₂]₂[(CO)₃Cr⁻]₂ (16) with two molecules of FeCo₂(μ₃-S)(CO)₉ gave the unexpected square pyramidal cluster FeCo₂(μ₃-S)₂(CO)₉ (9) in 42% yield and the corresponding double isolobal displacement product [η⁵-C₅H₄C(O)CH₂]₂[FeCrCo(μ₃-S)(CO)₈]₂ (17) in 8% yield. Products 4-6, 8, 9, 13-15 and 17 were characterized by elemental analyses, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, as well as for 4, 6 and 9 by X-ray diffraction techniques.

Single crystals of the salts are obtained by the counter diffusion method through the gel of aqueous solutions of [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃ and Na₃[Rh(NO₂)₆]. The structure of [Co(NH₃)₆][Rh(NO₂)₆] is consistent with the diffraction data for a polycrystalline sample of poorly soluble fine salt formed in the exchange reaction between aqueous solutions of [Co(NH₃)₆]Cl₃ and Na₃[Rh(NO₂)₆]. The structure of [Co(NH₃)₆][(NO₂)₃Rh(μ-NO₂)_1+x (μ-OH)_2−x Rh(NO₂)₃]·(2−x)(H₂O), x = 0.17 exhibits the stabilizing effect of a large cation in the formation of novel, unknown previously coordination ions: [(NO₂)₃Rh(μ-NO₂)(μ-OH)₂Rh(NO₂)₃]³⁻ and [(NO₂)₃Rh(μ-NO₂)₂(μ-OH)Rh(NO₂)₃]³⁻.

The average Cr-(₃-O) distances in compounds I and II are almost equal (1.943(3) and 1.927(3) ). An average length of the Cr-O bond in octahedral surrounding of metal atoms is different in complexes I and II (1.985(4) and 2.003(3) , respectively), which is specified by different oxidation states of the metal atom. The CrCr distances lie in an interval of 3.366(1)–3.337(1) .__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 4, 2005, pp. 266–272.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Glazunova, Boltalin, Troyanov.     

Binuclear ruthenium complexes of fluorous phosphine ligands: Synthesis, properties, and biphasic catalytic activity. Crystal structure of [Ru(μ-O2CMe)(CO)2P(CH2CH2(CF2)5CF3)3]2

The fluorocarbon soluble, binuclear ruthenium(I) complexes [Ru(μ-O₂CMe)(CO)₂L^F]₂, where L^F is the perfluoroalkyl substituted tertiary phosphine, P(C₆H₄-4-CH₂CH₂(CF₂)₇CF₃)₃, or P(CH₂CH₂(CF₂)₅CF₃)₃, were synthesized and partition coefficients for the complexes in fluorocarbon/hydrocarbon biphases were determined. Catalytic hydrogenation of acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol in benzotrifluoride at 105 °C occured in the presence of either [Ru(μ-O₂CMe)(CO)₂P(C₆H₄-4-CH₂CH₂(CF₂)₇CF₃)₃]₂ (1) or [Ru(μ-O₂CMe)(CO)₂P(CH₂CH₂(CF₂)₅CF₃)₃]₂ (2). The X-ray crystal structure of [Ru(μ-O₂CMe)(CO)₂P(CH₂CH₂(CF₂)₅CF₃)₃]₂ was determined. The compound exhibited discrete regions of fluorous and non-fluorous packing.

The compound [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-Cl)(μ-AuPPh₃)] (2) was prepared from the reaction between [Os₃(CO)₁₀(NCMe)₂] (1) and [AuClPPh₃] under mild conditions. The reaction of 2 with 4-mercaptopyridine (4-pyS) ligand yielded compounds [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-H)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (4), formed by isolobal replacement of the fragment [AuPPh₃]⁺ by H⁺ and [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-AuPPh₃)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (5). [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-H)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (4) was also obtained by substitution of two acetonitrile ligands in the activated cluster 1 by 4-pyS, at room temperature in dichloromethane. Compounds 2-5 were characterized spectroscopically and the molecular structures of 4 and 5 in the solid state were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.     

Reactions of Ru3(CO)12 with 2-pentynal-diethyl-acetal. The crystal structure of Ru2(CO)6[μ-η-{EtC2C(H)(OEt)2}CO{EtC2C(H)(OEt)2}] and its reactivity towards tetraethyl-orthosilicate

The title compound has been obtained in considerable yield by reacting Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with 2-pentynal-diethyl-acetal [CH₃CH₂CCC(H)(OEt)₂] (PDA) in hydrocarbon solvents. The X-ray analysis shows that the title complex belongs to the well known family of the flyover derivatives. Some X-ray structural studies have been reported, many years ago, on di-iron flyover complexes; in contrast only a few examples of diruthenium derivatives have been structurally characterized.The complex contains ethoxy-groups which could potentially undergo hydrolysis in the presence of tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS) in the presence of catalysts. Reactions of complex Ru₂(CO)₆[μ-η⁴-{EtC₂C(H)(OEt)₂}CO{EtC₂C(H)(OEt)₂}] with TEOS in the presence of HCl or of NaF (as catalysts) have been attempted. An inorganic-organometallic sol-gel material containing the skeleton of the complex has been obtained and characterized with IR-Raman, XRD on powders and SEM microscopy.     

Synthesis and X-ray investigation of novel Fe and Mn phenyltellurenyl-halide complexes: (CO)3FeBr2(PhTeBr), (η-C5H5)Fe(CO)2(PhTeI2) and CpMn(CO)2(PhTeI)

New complexes of transition metals with organotellurium halide ligands are reported. Iodination of [CpMn(CO)₂]₂(μ-Ph₂Te₂) leads to the Te-Te bond cleavage and formation of CpMn(CO)₂(PhTeI). Oxidative addition of PhTeBr₃ to Fe(CO)₅ gives the monomeric complex (CO)₃FeBr₂(PhTeBr) which is isostructural with the recently reported (CO)₃FeI₂(PhTeI). Insertion of phenyltellurenyl iodide (PhTeI) into the Fe-I bond of CpFe(CO)₂I forms CpFe(CO)₂(TeI₂Ph). Molecular structures of the reported complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). A considerable shortening of metal-tellurium distances is observed.
