Synthese und dynamisches Verhalten von [Rh2(μ-H)3H2(PiPr3)4]+. Beiträge zur Reaktivität des Tetrahydridodirhodium-Komplexes [Rh2H4(PiPr3)4]

Synthesis and Dynamic Behaviour of [Rh₂(μ-H)₃H₂(PiPr₃)₄]⁺. Contributions to the Reactivity of the Tetrahydridodirhodium Complex [Rh₂H₄(PiPr₃)₄] An improved synthesis of [Rh₂H₄(PiPr₃)₄] ( 2 ) from [Rh(η³-C₃H₅)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 1 ) or [Rh(η³-CH₂C₆H₅)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 3 ) and H₂ is described. Compound 2 reacts with CO or CH₃OH to give trans-[RhH(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 4 ) and with ethene/acetone to yield a mixture of 4 and trans-[RhCH₃(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 5 ). The carbonyl(methyl) complex 5 has also been prepared from trans-[RhCl(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 6 ) and CH₃MgI. Whereas the reaction of 2 with two parts of CF₃CO₂H leads to [RhH₂(η²-O₂CCF₃) · (PiPr₃)₂] ( 8 ), treatment of 2 with one equivalent of CF₃CO₂H in presence of NH₄PF₆ gives the dinuclear compound [Rh₂H₅(PiPr₃)₄]PF₆ ( 9a ). The reactions of 2 with HBF₄ and [NO]BF₄ afford the complexes [Rh₂H₅(PiPr₃)₄]BF₄ ( 9b ) and trans-[RhF(NO)(PiPr₃)₂]BF₄ ( 11 ), respectively. In solution, the cation [Rh₂(μ-H)₃H₂(PiPr₃)₄]⁺ of the compounds 9a and 9b undergoes an intramolecular rearrangement in which the bridging hydrido and the phosphane ligands are involved.     

Synthesis and Solid-State Structure of 2,6-Trip2C6H3Tl (Trip=2,4,6-iPr3C6H2): A Monomeric Arylthallium(I) Compound with a Singly Coordinated Thallium Atom

A “one-legged thallium” is observed in the arylthallium(I ) compound 2,6-Trip₂C₆H₃Tl (Trip=2,4,6-iPr₃C₆H₂), which was synthesized from the corresponding organolithium compound and thallium chloride.

Is2Si(Li)?P(Li)SiR3 (Is = 2,4,6-iPr3C6H2): die ersten Lithiumsilanidyl-lithiumphosphanide und ihre Umwandlung in Disilaphosphirane und neuartige Mercuriophosphane

Is₂Si(Li)? P(Li)SiR₃ (Is = 2,4,6-ⁱPr₃C₆H₂): The First Lithiumsilanidyl-lithiumphosphanides and their Transformation into Disilaphosphiranes and Novel Mercuriophosphanes Upon addition of two mol equivalents lithium metal to the Si?P bond of the silylidenephosphanes (“phosphasilenes”) Is₂Si?P(SiⁱPr₃) and Is₂Si?P(SiPh₂Me) (Is = 2,4,6-ⁱPr₃C₆H₂) in tetrahydrofurane, the corresponding lithiumsilanidyl-lithiumsilylphosphanides are formed, which have been isolated as pale yellow solids; each Li center is solvated by two tetrahydrofurane molecules. The constitution of these compounds is established by multi nuclei NMR spectroscopy and derivatization reactions with water, deuteriumoxide, dichlorodimethylsilane, and tert-butylmercuriochloride, respectively. The reaction with dichlorodimethylsilane yields, via cyclocondensation reaction and elimination of lithiumchloride, the first disilaphosphacyclopropane derivatives, and the reaction with tert-butylmercuriochloride gives, under loss of the triorganosilyl group at phosphorus and via rearrangement processes, an unusual P, P-dimercuriosilylphosphane; the latter reacts with tert-butylmercuriochloride and mercuriodichloride in the molar ratio of 2 : 1 : 1 to give an molecular aggregate bearing a P₂Hg₆Cl₃ framework, which can be regared as an Lewis-acid base complex of a mercuriophosphane chelate ligand and mercuriodichloride.

The ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR and mass spectra of the new compounds as well as the X-ray crystal structures of the neodymium derivatives 3 , 11 and 12 are discussed.     

Multiple Ga−Ga Bonding Character in Na2[Ga(GaTrip2)3], and a Comparison with Neutral Ga(GaTrip2)3 (Trip=2,4,6-iPr3C6H2)

Delocalized over the Ga ₄ framework , the two electrons are lost in the oxidation of Na₂[Ga(GaTrip₂)₃] to Ga(GaTrip₂)₃. This leads to a lengthening of the Ga−Ga bond by about 0.08 Å. Ar=Trip=2,4,6-iPr₃C₆H₂.     

Synthese,Struktur und Photochemie von Olefiniridium(I)‐Komplexen mit Acetylacetonatoliganden

Synthesis, Structure, and Photochemical Behavior of Olefine Iridium(I) Complexes with Acetylacetonato Ligands The bis(ethene) complex [Ir(κ²‐acac)(C₂H₄)₂] ( 1 ) reacts with tertiary phosphanes to give the monosubstitution products [Ir(κ²‐acac)(C₂H₄)(PR₃)] ( 2 – 5 ). While 2 (R = iPr) is inert toward PiPr₃, the reaction of 2 with diphenylacetylene affords the π‐alkyne complex [Ir(κ²‐acac)(C₂Ph₂)(PiPr₃)] ( 6 ). Treatment of [IrCl(C₂H₄)₄] with C‐functionalized acetylacetonates yields the compounds [Ir(κ²‐acacR^1,2)(C₂H₄)₂] ( 8 , 9 ), which react with PiPr₃ to give [Ir(κ²‐acacR^1,2)(C₂H₄)(PiPr₃)] ( 10 , 11 ) by displacement of one ethene ligand. UV irradiation of 5 (PR₃ = iPr₂PCH₂CO₂Me) and 11 (R² = (CH₂)₃CO₂Me) leads, after addition of PiPr₃, to the formation of the hydrido(vinyl)iridium(III) complexes 7 and 12 . The reaction of 2 with the ethene derivatives CH₂=CHR (R = CN, OC(O)Me, C(O)Me) affords the compounds [Ir(κ²‐acac)(CH₂=CHR)(PiPr₃)] ( 13 – 15 ), which on photolysis in the presence of PiPr₃ also undergo an intramolecular C–H activation. In contrast, the analogous complexes [Ir(κ²‐acac)(olefin)(PiPr₃)] (olefin = (E)‐C₂H₂(CO₂Me)₂ 16 , (Z)‐C₂H₂(CO₂Me)₂ 17 ) are photochemically inert.

Synthesis of Copper and Silver Complexes with Pentadentate N,S and Hexadentate N,O Chelate Ligands – Characterization and Crystal Structures of {Cu₂[C₆H₄(SO₂)NC(O)]₂(C₅H₅N)₄}, {Cu₂[C₅H₃N(CHNC₆H₄SCH₃)₂]₂}(PF₆)₂, and {Ag[C₅H₃N(CHNC₆H₄SCH₃)₂]}PO₂F₂ In the course of the reaction of copper(II)-acetate monohydrate with 2,2′-bisbenzo[d][1,3]thiazolidyl in methanol the organic component is transformed to N,N′-bis-(2-thiophenyl)ethanediimine and subsequently oxidized to the N,N′-bis-(2-benzenesulfonyl)ethanediaciddiamide H₄BBSED, which coordinates in its deprotonated form two Cu²⁺ ions. Crystallisation from pyridine/n-hexane yields [Cu₂(BBSED)(py)₄] · MeOH. It forms triclinic crystals with the space group P1 and a = 995.5(2) pm, b = 1076.1(3) pm, c = 1120.7(2) pm, α = 104.17(1)°, β = 105.28(1)°, γ = 113.10(1)° and Z = 1. In the centrosymmetrical dinuclear complex the copper ions are coordinated in a square-pyramidal arrangement by three nitrogen and two oxygen atoms. The Jahn-Teller effect causes an elongation of the axial bond by approximately 30 pm. The reactions of the pentadentate ligand 2,6-Bis-[(2- methylthiophenyl)-2-azaethenyl]pyridine BMTEP with salts of copper(I), copper(II) and silver(I) yield the complexes [CU₂(BMTEP)₂](PF₆)₂, [Cu(BMTEP)]X₂ (X = BF, C1O) and [Ag(BMTEP)]X (X = PO₂F, ClO). [Cu₂(BMTEP)₂](PF₆)₂ crystallizes from acetone/diisopropyl- ether in form of monoclinic crystals with the space group C2/c, and a = 1833.2(3) pm, b = 2267.30(14) pm, c = 1323.5(2) pm, β= 118.286(5)°, and 2 = 4. In the dinuclear complex cation with the symmetry C₂ the copper ions are tetrahedrally coordinated by two bridging BMTEP ligands. The Cu? Cu distance of 278.3pm can be interpreted with weak Cu? Cu interactions which also manifest itself in a temperature independent paramagnetism of 0.45 B.M. The monomeric silver complex [Ag(BMTEP)]PO₂F₂ crystallizes from acetone/thf in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 768.7(3) pm, b = 1074.0(5) pm, c = 1356.8(5) pm, α = 99.52(2)°, β = 96.83(2)°, γ = 99.83(2)° and Z = 2. The central silver ion is coordinated by one sulfur and three nitrogen atoms of the ligand in a planar, semicircular arrangement. The bond lengths Ag? N = 240.4–261.7 and Ag? S = 257.2 pm are significantly elongated in comparison with single bonds.

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. With Et₂AlH or PhC?CH decomposition of 3 was observed.

From C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)C₂H₃Ph and CF₃COOH/NH₄PF₆ the η³-benzyl complex [C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)(η³-CH₃CHC₆H₅)]PF₆ is obtained. The reversibility of the protonation reactions is demonstrated by temperature-dependent NMR spectra and by deuteration experiments. The complexes C₅H₅Rh(PMe₃)C₂H₃R′ (R′  H, Ph) and C₅H₅Rh(PMe₂Ph)C₂H₄ react with CH₃I in ether to give the salts [C₅H₅RhCH₃(C₂H₃R′)PR₃]I which in THF or CH₃NO₂ yield the neutral compounds C₅H₅RhCH₃(PR₃)I.     

Complexes of N-Phosphorylated Thioureas RNHC(S)NHP(O)(OiPr)2 (R = 2-MeC6H4, 2,6-Me2C6H3, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) With Nickel(II)

Reaction of the potassium salts of HL^{I –III} with Ni(II) in aqueous EtOH leads to [Ni(L^I–III-N,S)₂] ([NiL^I–III ₂ ]) chelate complexes. The compounds obtained were investigated by ¹H, ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy and microanalysis. The molecular structure of the thiourea HL^III was elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies showed that HL^III forms both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which in turn leads to the formation of polymeric chains. One of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds is of the type N?H…S. Moreover, the formation of intermolecular C?H…η⁶-phenyl interactions was established.

[Pr₅(C₂)]Br₉ crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system [P2₁/n; Z = 4; a = 1 006.9(1); b = 1 886.1(1); c = 1 045.9(1) pm; β = 108.130(1)°; R_int = 0.059; R1 = 0.038; wR2 = 0.077]. One edge in the base of the trigonal bipyramid in [Pr₅(C₂)]Br₉ is usually long (440 pm). It is not brigded by a Brⁱ ligand. In addition to the eight Brⁱ, the cluster is coordinated by 12 terminal ligands (Br^a).

Untersuchungen zu Synthese und Reaktionen von Fluorphenylquecksilber-Derivaten mit den Liganden 2-FC6H4, 2,6-F2C6H3 und 2,4,6-F3C6H2

Investigations on Syntheses and Reactions of Fluorophenylmercury Compounds with the Ligands 2-FC₆H₄, 2,6-F₂C₆H₃, and 2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂ 2,6-F₂C₆H₃HgCl and 2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂HgCl are synthesized via the reactions of the corresponding phenylmagnesium compounds and HgCl₂. 2-FC₆H₄HgCl is selectively obtained only in a reaction involving intermediately formed Cd(2-FC₆H₄)₂. The diphenylmercury derivative Hg(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)₂ is obtained while stirring a dichloromethane solution of 2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂HgCl for several days. The direct mercuration of 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene with Hg(OCOCF₃)₂ yields, depending on the stoichiometry, 2,4,6-trifluorophenylmercury trifluoroacetate and 1,3-bis(trifluoroacetatomercuri)-2,4,6-trifluorobenzene which is converted into the corresponding chloromercuri derivative by treatment with hydrochloric acid in CH₃CN. As a product of the reaction of 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene and HgO in CH₃COOH only 2,4,6-trifluorophenylmercury acetate is isolated although spectroscopic evidence has been found for double and triple mercurated derivatives. All compounds are characterized by elemental analyses, nmr and mass spectra. The reaction of Hg(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)Cl and Cd(CF₃)₂ · 2 CH₃CN gives Hg(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)CF₃ which slowly dismutates in CH₂Cl₂ solution into Hg(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)₂ and Hg(CF₃)₂. The ligand exchange of Hg(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)₂ and TeCl₄ selectively gives Te(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)₂Cl₂ and Hg(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)Cl. Transmetalations of Hg(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)₂ and gallium or tin give NMR spectroscopic evidence for the new derivates Ga(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)₃ and Sn(2,4,6-F₃C₆H₂)₄.

Cs2[Pr6(C2)]I12 - das erste quaternäre reduzierte Halogenid mit isolierten [M6(C2)]-Clustern

Cs₂[Pr₆(C₂)]I₁₂ — the First Quaternary Reduced Halide with Isolated [M₆(C₂)] Clusters . Cs₂[Pr₆(C₂)]I₁₂ is obtained as one of the major products from the reaction of PrI₃, cesium and carbon in sealed tantalum containers at 850°C. The crystal structure triclinic, P 1 ; a=948.1(2), b=953.6(3), c=1 005.2(3) pm; α=71.01(2); β=84,68(3), γ=89.37(2)°; Z=1 contains discrete Pr₆I₁₂-type clusters elongated along the pseudo-four-fold axis to accommodate the C₂ units (d(C—C)=139 pm). The clusters are connected through common ^i?aI and ^a?iI linkages at metal vertices and edges according to Cs₂[Pr₆(C₂)ⁱI₆^i?aI_6/2]^a?iI_6/2. The cesium cations occupy interstices within the (distorted) iodide layers in a way that “Cs₂I₁₈” dimers are formed, in which Cs⁺ is surrounded by eleven I^?. On the basis of the MO scheme of [Sc₆(C₂]I₁₁, the bonding of the C² unit is discussed and compared with other cluster compounds containing C₂ units.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Binuclear Complex [Pr2(C10H8N2O4)2(C10H9N2O4)2(H2O)4]·3H2O·C6H6

The binuclear praseodymium(III) complex with N‐(1‐carboxyethylidene)‐salicylhydrazide (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₂L) was prepared in H₂O‐C₂H₅OH mixed solution, and the crystal structure of [Pr₂L₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₄]·3H₂O·C₆H₆ was determined by X‐ray single crystal diffraction. The crystal complex crystallizes in the triclinic system with space group P‐1, and in the structure each Pr atom is 9‐coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O and azomethine N atoms of two tridentate ligands to form two stable five‐membered rings sharing one side in keto‐mode and two water molecules. The coordination polyhedron around Pr³⁺ was described as a monocapped square antiprism geometry. In an individual molecule, four tridentate ligands were coordinated by two negative univalent (HL) and two bivalent forms (L) respectively. Two negative univalent ligands were coordinated via μ₂‐bridging mode.

While 1 and 2 are reduced by LiPH(2,4,6-BuC₆H₂) to the Mo(III) complexes [Cp⁰Mo(μ? Cl)₂]₂ 3 and [Cp′Mo(μ? Cl)₂]₂ 4 , the reaction of 1 with KPPh₂(dioxane)₂ yields the reduction/substitution product [CpMo₂(μ? Cl)₃(μ? PPh)] 5 in low yield. 1 – 4 were characterized spectroscopically (i.r., mass, 3 and 4 also n.m.r.). An X-ray crystal structure determination was carried out on 3 and 5. 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (No. 2) with a = 8.278(4), b = 12.508(7), c = 12.826(7) Å, α = 86.78(5), β = 81.55(2), γ = 75.65(4)°, V = 1 272.4 ų and two formula units in the unit cell (data collection at ? 67°C, 4 255 independent observed reflections, R = 2.9%); 5 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (No. 2) with a = 11.536(8), b = 12.307(9), c = 13.157(9) Å, α = 91.41(6), β = 100.42(5), γ = 112.26(6)°, V = 1 688.7 ų and two formula units in the unit cell (data collection at ? 60°C, 6 147 independent observed reflections, R = 4.9%). The crystal structure of 3 shows the presence of centrosymmetric dimeric molecules with four bridging chloro ligands. In 5, two Mo atoms are bridged by three chloro ligands and one PPh₂ ligand.

Preparation and characterization of copper sulfide nanoparticles from symmetrical [(Bu)2NC(S)NC(O)C6H3(3,5-NO2)2]2Cu(II) and [(Bu)2NC(S)NC(O)C6H4(4-NO2)]2Cu(II) complexes by thermolysis

Trigonal copper sulfide nanoparticles were synthesized from symmetrical [(Bu)₂NC(S)NC(O)C₆H₃(3,5-NO₂)₂]₂Cu(II) and [(Bu)₂NC(S)NC(O)C₆H₄(4-NO₂)]₂Cu(II) complexes by thermolysis in the presence of surfactant oleylamine. The symmetrical copper complexes were synthesized by reaction of copper(II) acetate with N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-N′,N′-dibutylthiourea and N-(4-nitrobenzoyl)-N′,N′-dibutylthiourea. The symmetrical copper complexes were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and mass spectrometry (MS-APCI). The single-crystal X-ray structure of [(Bu)₂NC(S)NC(O)C₆H₄(4-NO₂)]₂Cu(II) has been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. These metal complexes have been used as single source precursors for the preparation of copper sulfide nanoparticles. The deposited copper sulfide nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
