Reaction of MoCo(CO)₅(PPh₃)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅) (1a) with trimethylsilylacetylene in tetrahydrofuran at 58° C yielded two acetylene bridged heterobimetallic compounds, MoCo(CO)₄(PPh₃){μ-HC?CSiMe₃}(η⁵-C₅H₅) (4) and MoCo (CO)₅{μ-HC?CSiMe₃}(η⁵-C₅H₅)(5). (4) was characterized by mass, infrared, ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR spectra. The X-ray crystal structure of (4) was determined:triclinic, P-1, a=8.821(1) Å, b=11.315(3) Å, c=17.029(2) Å, α=70.73(1)°, β=78 .72(1)°, γ=86.10(2)°,V =1573.4(6) ų, Z=2, R = 3.92%,R_w = 6.06% for 4285 (F > 4σ (F)) observed reflections. The core of this molecule is a quasi-tetrahedron containing Mo, Co and two carbons of acetylene. The triphenylphosphine ligand is attached to cobalt rather than molybdenum center.     

Orthomanganated arenes in synthesis VII. Transition-metal mediated formation of a P?P bond; the X-ray crystal structure of Mn2(μ-η1, η1-Ph2PPPh2)(μ-Cl)2(CO)6

The reaction of PPh₂Cl with orthomanganated acetophenone, 2′-CH₃C(O)C₆H₄Mn(CO)₄, gives Mn₂(μ-η₁,η¹-Ph₂PPPh₂)(μ-Cl)₂(CO)₆.

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of (η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Zr{μ-P(SiMe₃)₂}₂M(CO)₄ (R = Me, M = Cr; R = H, M = Mo) and Synthesis of (η⁵-C₅H₅)₂Zr{μ-As(SiMe₃)₂}₂Cr(CO)₄ The reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Zr{E(SiMe₃)₂}₂ with M(CO)₄(NBD) (NBD = norbornadiene) yields the dinuclear phosphido- or arsenido-bridged complexes (η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Zr{μ-E(SiMe₃)₂}₂M(CO)₄ (R = Me, E = P, M = Cr ( 1 ); R = H, E = P, M = Mo ( 2 ); R = H, E = As, M = Cr ( 3 )). No formation of dinuclear complexes was observed in the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄Me)₂Zr{P(SiMe₃)₂}₂ with Ni(PEt₃)₄, Ni(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ or with NiCl₂(PPh₃)₂ in the presence of Mg. Complexes 1 – 3 were characterised spectroscopically (i. r., n. m. r., m. s.), and X-ray structure investigations were carried out on 1 and 2 . The central four-membered ZrP₂M ring is slightly puckered (dihedral angle between planes ZrP₂/CrP₂ 14.7°, ZrP₂/MoP₂ 14.2°). The Zr? P bond lengths are equivalent ( 1 : Zr? P1 2.654(4), Zr? P2 2.657(4) Å; 2 : Zr? P1 2.6711(9), Zr? P2 2.6585(7) Å), as are the M? P bond lengths (M = Cr ( 1 ): Cr? P1 2.513(4), Cr? P2 2.502(4) Å; M = Mo ( 2 ): Mo? P1 2.6263(7), Mo? P2 2.6311(10) Å). The long Zr ··· M distances of 3.414 Å (M = Cr ( 1 )) and 3.461 Å (M = Mo ( 2 )) indicate the absence of a metal-metal bond.     

Cluster chemistry. 61. Addition of HX (XCl,Br,I) or AuCl(PPh3) to an open Ru5 cluster. X-ray structures of Ru5(μ-H)(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ-PPh2)(μ-Br)(CO)13 and Ru5(μ-H)(μ5-C2PPh2)(μ3-I)(μ-PPh2)(CO)12

Reactions of aqueous HX (X?Cl, Br) or of AuCl(PPh₃) with Ru₅(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂)(CO)₁₃ result in addition of the 4e-donor set (H + X) or (Au(PPh₃) + Cl) with concomitant opening of two Ru? Ru bonds to give complexes containing dimetallated triangular of ‘scorpion’ cores. Aqueous HI reacts similarly, but in this case the iodide ligand spans three Ru atoms, the (H + I) set acting as 6e-donor. The structures of the two title compounds were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic studies. Ru₅(μ-H)(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ-PPh₂)-(μ-Br)(CO)₁₃ is triclinic, space group P1 , a = 9.689(2), b = 11.874(2), c = 20.005(4) Å, α = 84.66(2), β = 82.90(6), λ = 67.51(6)°, Z = 2; 6478 data with I > 2σ(I) were refined to R = 0.0368, R_w = 0.0362. Ru₅(μ-H)(μ₅-C₂PPh₂)(μ₃-I)(μ-PPh₂)-(CO)₁₂.CH₂Cl₂ is monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 14.809(4), b = 20.721(4), c = 17.698(5) Å, β = 111.42(2)°, Z = 4; 7815 data with I > 2σ(I) were refined to R = 0.0440, R_w = 0.0416.     

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.     

Crystal and molecular structures of (η-xanthene)- (η-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) hexafluorophosphate and (η-2-methylthianthrene)(η-cyclopentadienyl)iron(II) hexafluorophosphate

The neutral complexes (η⁵-C₅H₅NiXL (X = Cl, L = PPh₃ (I); L = PCy₃ (II); X = Br, L = PPh₃ (III); L = PCy₃ (IV); X = I, L = PPh₃ (V); L = PCy₃ (VI)) have been obtained by treating NiX₂L₂ with thallium cyclopentadienide. The same reaction in the presence of TlBF₄ gives cationic derivatives [(η⁵-C₅H₅)NiL₂]BF₄ (L = 2PPh₂Me (VII); L = dppe (VIII)), whereas mononuclear complexes containing two different ligands (L₂ = PPh₃ + PCy₃ (IX)) or dinuclear [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(PPh₃)]₂dppe(BF₄)₂ (X) are obtained from the reaction of III with TlBF₄ in the presence of a different ligand. Reduction of cationic complexes with Na/Hg gives very unstable nickel(I) derivatives (η⁵-C₅H₅)NiL₂, which could not be isolated purely. Similar reduction of neutral complexes under CO gives a mixture of decomposition products containing [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(CO)]₂ and nickel(o) carbonyls, whereas in the presence of acetylenes, dinuclear [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Ni]₂(RCCR′) (R = R′ = Ph; R = Ph, R′ = H) are obtained.     

Crystal and molecular structure of (μ-p-CH3C6H4C2S) (μ-n-C3H7S)Fe2(CO)6Co2(CO)6

The crystal and molecular structure of the complex containing cobalt-carbon and iron-sulfur cluster cores, (μ-p-CH₃C₆H₄C₂S) (μ-n-C₃H₇S)Fe₂(CO)₆Co₂(CO)₆, has been determined by X-ray diffraction method. The crystals are triclinic, space group P&1bar;, with a — 9.139(2), b=9.610(1), c-17.183(2) Å, α = 84.36(1), β-89.45(1), γ=88.15(1)°, V-1501.0 ų; Z=2, D_c=1.74 g/cm³. R=0.072, Rw=0.081. The results of the structure determination show a cobalt-carbon cluster core formed through the reaction of (μ-p-CH₃C₆H₄C₂S)(μ-n-C₃H₇S)Fe₂(CO)₆ with Co₂(CO)₈. In the cobalt-carbon cluster core, the bond length of the original C≡C lengthened to 1.324 Å which is close to the typical value of carbon-carbon double bond. The groups connecting the carbons of the cluster core are in cis position and lie on the opposite side of cobalt atoms. In this complex, the conformation of —SC₃H₇ is e-type, while that of —SC₂C₆H₄CH₃ is a-type.

The reaction of [Ru₃(CO)₇(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐PCy₂)₂] ( 3 ) with CS₂ in refluxing toluene affords the 50 VE‐cluster [Ru₃(CO)₅(CS)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐PCy₂)₂(μ₃‐S)] ( 4 ). The compound cristallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2₁/a with a = 19.093(3), b = 12.2883(12), c = 20.098(3) Å; β = 104.223(16)° and V = 4570.9(10) ų.

Complex Ru₃(μ-CO)₂(CO)₆{μ₃-η¹:η¹:η⁴:η⁴-C₄Ph₂(CH=CHPh)₂} containing an open triruthenium framework undergoes rearrangement to the Ru₃-triangular Ru₃(CO)₈{μ₃-η¹:η¹:η⁴:η²-C₄Ph₂(CH=CHPh)₂) cluster when heated in refluxing hexane.

The subsequent reaction of 2 with phosphanes (L) under mild conditions affords the complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(NO)L(μ‐P^tBu₂)], L = PPh₃, ( 3a ); η‐dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂), ( 3b ). In this case the phosphane substitutes one carbonyl ligand at the iron tetracarbonyl fragment in 2 , which was confirmed by the X‐ray crystal structure analysis of 3a . In solution 3b loses one CO ligand very easily to give dppm as bridging ligand on the Fe‐Fe bond. The thus formed compound [Fe₂(CO)₄(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ) occurs in solution in different solvents and over a wide temperature range as a mixture of the two isomers [Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4a ) and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4b ). 4a was unambiguously characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis while 4b was confirmed both by NMR investigations in solution as well as by means of DFT calculations. Furthermore, the spontaneous reaction of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ) with NO at —60 °C in toluene yields a complicated mixture of products containing [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 6 ) as main product beside the isomers 4a and 4b occuring in very low yields.

The reactivity of 1 as well as the activated complexes 2 a – c towards phenylethyne was studied. Thus 1 , 2 a and 2 b , respectively, react with PhC≡CH in refluxing toluene with elimination of dihydrogen to the acetylide‐bridged complexes [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐η¹ : η²‐C≡CPh)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ) and [Ru₂(CO)₃L(μ‐η¹ : η²‐C≡CPh)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 a and 4 b ). The molecular structures of 3 and 4 a were determined by crystal structure analyses.     

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.

A crystal structure determination showed the presence of bridging phosphanido (PPh₂) and diphosphane ligands (PPh₂PPh₂). The central Mo₂P₃ five-membered ring adopts a half-chair conformation and thus resembles an inorganic cyclopentane.     

Effects on Coordination of Thioether Sites. 4. Structural Analysis of η3-Tripodal Ligand Manganese(I) Complexes

Crystal structures of a series of manganese(I) complexes containing tripodal ligands were determined. For [η³-{CH₃C(CH₂PPh₂)₂(CH₂SPh)-P,P′,S}Mn(CO)₃]PF₆ ( 1 ): a = 10.856(3) Å, b = 19.698(3) Å, c = 17.596(5) Å, β = 96.17(2)°, monoclinic, Z = 4, P2₁/c, R(F_o) = 0.068, R_w(F_o) = 0.055 for 3617 reflections with I_o > 2σ(I_o). For [η³-{CH₃C(CH₂PPh₂)(CH₂SPh)₂-P,P′,S}Mn(CO)₃]PF₆ ( 2 ): a = 9.890(2) Å, b = 20.403(4) Å, c = 10.269(3) Å, β = 117.44(2)°, monoclinic, Z = 2, P2_l, R(F_o) = 0.050, R_w(F_o) = 0.037 for 1760 reflections with I_o > 2σ(I_o). For [η³-{CH₃C(CH₂PPh₂)₂(CH₂S)-P,P′,S}Mn(CO)₃] ( 4 ): a = 8.191(7) Å, b = 10.495(3) Å, c = 19.858(6) Å, α = 99.61(2)°, β = 96.17(2)°, γ = 92.70(4)°, triclinic, Z = 2, P-I, R(F_o) = 0.048, R_w(F_o) = 0.039 for 2973 reflections with I_o > 2σ(I_o). There is no significant difference in the bond lengths of Mn-S bonds among three species in their crystal structures [2.325(2) Å in 1; 2.358(4) in 2; 2.380(2) in 4], but the better donating ability of thiolate in complex 4 appears on the lower frequencies of its carbonyl stretching absorptions.     

Reactions of Tungsten Propargyl and Allenyl Complexes with Hydrido Triosmium Cluster: Molecular and Crystal Structure of Cp(CO)2[P(OMe)3]W(μ, η1, η2-CH2CH=CH)OS3(CO)10H and H2(CH2CH = CH)2Os6(CO)20

Synthesis and characterization of tris(η~5-cyclopentadienyl-μ-carbonyliron)-μ_3-nitrosyl cluster:X-ray structure of[(η~5-C_5H_5)(μ-CO)Fe]_3(μ3-NO).C_4H_8O

Tris)(η 5-cyclopentadienyl-μ-carbonyl-iron)-μ3-nitrosyl cluster was obtained from the reaction of cyclopentadienyl dicarbonyliron dimer with nitrogen monoxide in xylene. The cluster was characterized by elemental analyses, IR, MS and 1H NMR. The crystal structure of [(η5-C5H5)(μ-CO)Fe]3(μ3-NO).C4H8O was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma, a=9.053(2), 6=10.545(2), c=22.525(4) A, V=2150.3(7) A3, Z=4,Dc=1.68 g.cm-3; structure solution and refinement based on 1141 reflections with I > 3.0 (I) (MoKa, A=0.71073 A) converged at R=0.0540. The infrared absorption band at 1325 cm-1 of the μ3-NO in the cluster, which is red shifted, shows that μ3-NO is activated.
