Synthesis,characterization, and structural investigation of New η5-Cyclopentadienylbis-8-hydroxyquinolinatometal(IV) Complexes

By the interaction of M(η⁵-C₅H₄R)₂Cl₂ (M = Zr, Hf; R = H, Me, SiMe₃) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxH) or 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline (ox′H) in dichloromethane solution at 20°C, the compounds M(η⁵-C₅H₄R)Clox₂ and M(η⁵-C₅H₄R)Clox₂′ were prepared respectively. A similar reaction of Ti(η⁵-C₅H₅)Cl₃ with ox′H in acetonitrile solution gave Ti(η⁵-C₅H₅)Clox₂′. All complexes were characterized by elemental microanalysis and by IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. X-ray analysis of M(η⁵-C₅H₅R)Clox₂′ (M = Ti, Hf) shows that these molecules may be described in terms of stereochemistry of eight-coordination approximating dodecahedral geometry more closely than octahedral geometry. With respect to octahedral coordination, the nitrogen atoms lie in a cis-configuration and the oxygen atoms in a trans-configuration. Dichloromethane molecules co-crystallize with the hafnium complex and occupy a position on the 2-fold axis. The structural results are compared with those in related compounds.

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.

Syntheses, Structure and Reactivity of η³‐1,2‐Diphosphaallyl Complexes and [{(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃}{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] Reaction of ClP=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂ ( 3 ) with Na[Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] afforded the phosphavinylidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo=P=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 4 ) which in situ was converted into the η¹‐1,2‐diphosphaallyl complex [η⁵‐(C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 6 ) by treatment with the phosphaalkene tBuP=C(NMe₂)₂. The chloroarsanyl complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₃M–As(Cl)CH(SiMe₃)₂] [where M = Mo ( 9 ); M = W ( 10 )] resulted from the reaction of Na[M(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] (M = Mo, W) with Cl₂AsCH(SiMe₃)₂. The tungsten derivative 10 and Na[Co(CO)₄] underwent reaction to give the dinuclear μ‐arsinidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] ( 11 ). Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₃)₂}] ( 1 ) with an equimolar amount of ethereal HBF₄ gave rise to a 85/15 mixture of the saline complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η²‐tBu(H)P–P(F)CH(SiMe₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 18 ) and [Cp(CO)₂Mo{F₂PCH(SiMe₃)₂}(tBuPH₂)]BF₄ ( 19 ) by HF‐addition to the PC bond of the η³‐diphosphaallyl ligand and subsequent protonation ( 18 ) and/or scission of the PP bond by the acid ( 19 ). Consistently 19 was the sole product when 1 was allowed to react with an excess of ethereal HBF₄. The products 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 18 and 19 were characterized by means of spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR, MS). Moreover, the molecular structures of 6 , 11 and 18 were determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.

The structure of the compounds 1 – 3 , which are only stable in solution, has been elucidated by means of ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy. It is highly probable that the exo,endo isomer exists in each case. In addition, further isomers of lower relative abundancies have been observed, in which the ligands presumably exhibit a different spatial orientation relatively to each other.

Using low temperature nmr measurements the monosubstitution products (DRPE)Ni[P(SiMe₃)₂]Cl 2a–c and the disubstitution products (DRPE)Ni[P(SiMe₃)₂]₂ 3a, 3c can be detected as intermediates. From the reaction of 1b the paramagnetic nickel(I) complex (DCPE)NiP(SiMe₃)₂ 4b can be isolated. Reacting 1a, 1b with LiP(SiMe₃)CMe₃ the complexes (DRPE)Ni[P(SiMe₃)CMe₃]Cl 8a, 8b , which are analogous to 2 , and the nickel(0) diphosphine complex (DEPE)Ni[η¹-P(SiMe₃)CMe₃P(SiMe₃)CMe₃] 9a can be detected n.m.r. spectroscopically, but no diphosphene complexes can finally be isolated. The diphosphene complexes (DRPE)Ni[η²(PPh)₂] 10a-c are available from reactions of PhP(SiMe₃)₂with l a - c. MeP(SiMe,), reacts only with 1b to give a diphosphene complex (DCPE)Ni[η²(PMe)₂] 11 b.

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

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.

However, no reaction was observed between [(η-C₅H₅)₂Zr{PH(2,4,6-^tBu₃ C₆H₂)}₂] and [Pt(PPh₃)₄]. 1—3 were characterised spectroscopically. For 1—3 , the presence of the racemic isomer was shown by NMR spectroscopy. No reaction was observed at room temperature for 3 and CS₂, (NO)BF₄, Me₃NO or PH(2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂)₂.

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.

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.
