31P-NMR and X-Ray Studies of the Complexes [HgX2 (1)]. (1=2, 11-bis (diphenylphosphinomethyl)benzo [c]phenanthrene,X=Cl,I)

The ³¹P{¹H}-NMR characteristics of the complexes [HgX₂( 1 )] and [HgX₂-(PPh₂Bz)₂] (X = NO₃, Cl, Br, I, SCN, CN) and the solid state structures of the complexes [HgCl₂( 1 )] and [HgI₂( 1 )] ( 1 = 2,11-bis (diphenylphosphinomethyl)benzo-[c]phenanthrene) have been determined. The ¹J(¹⁹⁹Hg, ³¹P) values increase in the order CN < I < SCN < Br < Cl < NO₃. The two molecular structures show a distorted tetrahedral geometry about mercury. Pertinent bond lengths and bond angles from the X-ray analysis are as follows: Hg? P = 2.485(7) Å and 2.509 (8) Å, Hg? Cl = 2.525 (8) Å and 2.505 (10) Å, P? Hg? P = 125.6(3)°, Cl? Hg? Cl = 97.0(3)° for [HgCl₂( 1 )] and Hg? P = 2.491 (10) Å and 2.500(11) Å, Hg? I = 2.858(5) Å and 2.832(3) Å, P? Hg? P = 146.0(4)°, I? Hg? I = 116.9(1)° for [HgI₂( 1 )]. The equation, derived previously, relating ¹J(¹⁹⁹Hg, ³¹P) and the angles P? Hg? P and X? Hg? X is shown to be valid for 1 .     

Electronic effects in octahedral π-allyliron complexes: 13C NMR spectra

¹³C NMR spectra have been studied for the three series of allyliron derivatives: (i) C₃HP₅Fe(CO)₃X (X = I, Br, Cl, ONO₂, OCOCH₃, OCOCF₃); (ii) 2-RC₃H₄Fe(CO)₃X (R = CH₃, Br; X = I, Br, Cl, ONO₂, OCOCF₃), and (iii) 1-RC₃H₄Fe(CO)₃X (R = CH₃, C₆H₅; X = Br, Cl, OCOCF₃). The spectra reveal the effect of the nature of the ligand X and substituent R on the chemical shifts of the allyl and carbonyl carbon atoms.     

Positive and negative ion mass spectra of Aryl-ONN-azoxy compounds containing electron withdrawing groups

The positive and negative ion mass spectra, at 70 eV, of p-RC₆H₄N(O)?NCOOCH₃ (R?H, Cl, Br, NO₂), C₆H₅N(O)?NCOOC₂H₅, p-RC₆H₄N(O)?NCONH₂ (R?H, Cl, Br, NO₂) and p-RC₆H₄N(O)?NCOC₆H₅ (R?H, Cl, Br, NO₂) are reported. The azoxyester derivatives show abundant molecular ions and a number of weak fragment and rearrangement ions in the positive ion mass spectra, whereas weak molecular ions and abundant low mass fragment ions are present in the negative ion mass spectra. Similar behaviour is observed in the mass spectra of the azoxyamides. Conversely, for the azoxycarbonyl compounds the positive molecular ion is absent. A ready cleavage of the N? CO bond occurs and only few fragments of low diagnostic value are formed, whereas the negative molecular ion is the base peak for all these compounds with the exception of the p-NO₂ derivative, where [M? O]^?? is the base peak and [M]^?? is the second major ion. The behaviour under electron impact of these classes of compounds is compared with that of azoxycyanides reported previously.     

Heteronukleare Metallatomcluster der Typen X4−n[SnM(CO)4P(C6H5)3]n und M2(CO)8 [μ-Sn(X)M (CO)4P(C6H5)3]2 aus Umsetzungen von SnX2 mit M2(CO)8[P(C6H5)3]2 (X = Halogen; M = Mn,Re; n = 2, 3)

Heteronuclear Metal Atom Clusters of the Types X_4?n[SnM(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n and M₂(CO)₈[μ-Sn(X)M(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ by Reaction of SnX₂ with M₂(CO)₈[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ (X = Halogene; M = Mn, Re; n = 2, 3) The compounds of the both types X_4?n[SnM(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]_n (n = 3; M = Mn; X = F, Cl, Br, I. n = 2: M = Mn, Re; X = Cl, Br, I) and M₂(CO)₈[μ-Sn(X)M(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ (M = Mn; X = Cl, I. M = Re; X = Cl, Br, I) are prepared by reaction of SnX₂ with M₂(CO)₈[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ (M = Mn, Re). Their IR frequencies are assigned. In Re₂(CO)₈[μ-Sn(Cl)Re(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃]₂ the central molecule fragment contains a planar Re₂Sn₂ rhombus with a transannular Re? Re bond of 316.0(2) pm. Each of the Sn^IV atoms is connected with the terminal ligands Cl and Re(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃. These ligands are in transposition with respect to the Re₂Sn₂ ring. The mean values for the remaining bond distances (pm) are: Sn? Re = 274.0(3); Sn? Cl = 243(1), Re? C = 176(5), Re? P = 242.4(9), C? O = 123(5). The factors with an influence on the geometrical shape of such M₂Sn₂ rings (M = transition metal) are discussed.     

Hydrolyse und Halogenidaustausch von Pentahalogenomonocarbonylosmaten(III)

Hydrolysis and Halide Exchange of Pentahalogenomonocarbonyl Osmates(III) The aquo complexes [OsX₄(CO)(H₂O)]^?, [OsX₃(CO)(H₂O)] and [OsX₂(CO)(H₂O)₃]⁺, X ? Cl, Br, I, produced by the stepwise hydrolysis of [OsX₅(CO)]^2?, are isolated as pure solutions by ionophoresis and characterized by their absorption spectra. Due to stability of the monaquo complexes and the different trans-effect of the halides it is possible to prepare the mixed complexes [OsX_4–nY_n(CO)(H₂O)]^?, X ≠ Y = Cl, Br, I, n = 1–3, and for n = 2 the pure stereoisomers are formed. A systematic shift is found in charge-transfer bands to the shorter wavelengths when the halides are replaced by H₂O, I by Br or Cl and Br by Cl.     

Photochemical reactions of allyl and crotyl halides with cyclopentadienyl-chromium, -molybdenum and -tungsten complexes

[MoCl(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₅)] on photolysis with allyl or crotyl halides C₅H₄RX gives Mo^IV complexes [MoX₂(CO)(η³-C₃H₄R)(η⁵-C₅H₅)] (R = H, X = Cl, Br, I; R = Me, X = Cl, Br). [WCl(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₅)] under similar conditions gives trihalides [WX₃(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)] (X = Cl, Br) on reaction with C₃H₅Cl and C₃H₅Br while [WCl(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)] and [CrI(CO)₃(η⁵-C₅H₅)] react with allyl chloride to give [WCl₃(CO)₂(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)] and [CrCl₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)] respectively.     

The effect of selfassociation of mercurated carbonyl compounds of mercury-199 chemical shifts

Temperature and concentration dependences of mercury-199 chemical shifts in benzene solutions of bis(methylethylketone)mercury Hg(CH₂COC₂H₅) (I) and α-bis(methylacetoacetone)mercury Hg(CH₂COCH₂COOCH₃)₂ (II) are determined by the ¹H-{¹⁹⁹Hg}method. The NMR data obtained and the IR spectra are indicative of selfassociation of I and II in solution with the formation of weak intermolecular coordination bonds Hg ← :OC. The enthalpies of complex formation calculated on the assumption of one mercury atom bonding with only one carbonyl function are equal to ?3.2 ± 0.1 kcal/mol and ?2.2 ± 0.1 kcal/mol for I and II, respectively.     

A carbon-13 NMR study of some metal carbonyl compounds containing one-electron ligands

Carbon-13 NMR spectral data for complexes having the general formula CpM(CO)_nX (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅; M = Mo or W, n = 3; M = Fe, n = 2; X = halogen, methyl or acetyl) and their phosphine and isocyanide substitution products are reported. For CpM(CO)₃X complexes two carbonyl resonances (1 : 2 ratio) are observed in all cases, consistent with the retention of the “piano-stool” geometries observed in the solid state. Substituted complexes CpM(CO)₂(L)X (M = Mo or W; L = PR₃ or cyclohexyl isocyanide) are unequivocally assigned cis or trans geometries on the basis of the number of observed carbonyl resonances and values of ²J(PC) for the phosphine substituted derivatives. Spectral data for [M(CO)₅X]^? (M = Cr, Mo or W; X = Cl, Br or I) and η⁷-C₇H₇Mo(CO)₂X and the halide derivatives above generally show an increase in the shielding for carbonyls adjacent to the halide ligand in the order Cl < Br < I. Carbonyl resonances are more shielded in isostructural complexes in the order Cr < Mo < W (triad effect).     

Vibrational spectroscopy and solid-state MAS NMR studies of mercury(II) acetate complexes [Hg(X)OAc]: Crystal structure of [Hg(CN)OAc]

The syntheses of [Hg(X)OAc] (OAc=acetate; X=CN, Cl, Br, I, SCN) are reported, and the crystal structure of the cyano complex has been determined. The asymmetric unit contains two [Hg(CN)OAc] molecules which show almost linear C–Hg–O bonding (Hg–C=2.019(13), 2.016(11) Å; Hg–O=2.067(9), 2.058(8) Å; C–Hg–O=176.0(4), 172.3(5)°), with only one of the two acetate oxygen atoms bound directly to the mercury atom. Secondary HgO and HgN contacts in the range 2.6–2.8 Å are about 0.2 Å shorter than the secondary HgO contacts in the corresponding X=Ph complex. The ν(HgX) and ν(HgO) modes have been assigned in the IR and Raman spectra of [Hg(X)OAc] (X=CN, Cl, Br, I, SCN); these spectra show that the complexes have structures with essentially linear O–Hg–X bonding, similar to that of the cyanide. Solid-state ¹⁹⁹Hg MAS NMR spectra have been recorded for HgX₂ (X=CN, Cl) and [Hg(X)OAc] (X=Me, Ph, CN, Cl, SCN), and spinning sideband analysis has been used to determine the ¹⁹⁹Hg shielding anisotropy and asymmetry parameters Δσ and η. A semi-empirical method for the calculation of the local paramagnetic contribution to the shielding is given, and a linear relationship between Δσ and the isotropic shielding σ_iso which is predicted by this model for linear HgXY species is found to be obeyed reasonably well by the experimental data for HgX₂ and [Hg(X)OAc]. The same method is used to analyse the effects of secondary bonding on the ¹⁹⁹Hg shielding parameters. The ¹³C MAS NMR spectrum of [Hg(SCN)OAc] shows ²J(¹⁹⁹Hg¹³C) and ³J(¹⁹⁹Hg¹³C) coupling to the acetate carbon atoms, with magnitudes similar to those found previously for Hg(OAc)₂. The CN carbon signals in Hg(CN)₂ and [Hg(CN)OAc] are split into 2:1 doublets due to residual dipolar coupling to the quadrupolar ¹⁴N nucleus.     

Mass spectrometry of π-complexes of transition metals : XVII. Ionm̄olecule reaction products in mass spectra of mixtures of π-cyclopentadienyl- and π-arenemetal carbonyls with aromatic and heterocyclic compounds

Ion—molecule reactions occur in the ionization chamber of a mass spectrometer during the combined vaporization of arenechromium tricarbonyls (ArCr(CO)₃, Ar = C₆H₆, C₆H₅Cl, C₆H₅N(CH₃)₂, C₄H₄S, C₄H₄Se) and cyclopentadienylmetal carbonyls (C₅H₄RM(CO)_n, M and R = Mn, H;Mn, Cl; Mn, Br; Mn, COCH₃; Re, H; V, H) with various aromatic and heterocyclic compounds (L). In all cases secondary ions of sandwich type [ArCrL]⁺ or [C₅H₄RML]⁺ containing a new metalligand bond are formed.     

Ionisation et Fragmentation en Spectrométrie de Masse. VI—Energie d'Activation de la Fragmentation Principale des Monohalogénobenzènes

The activation energy of the fragmentation [C₆H₅X?]⁺ → [C₆H₅]⁺ + X? (X = Cl, Br, I) is calculated by various methods. These results are compared with determinations of kinetic energy release and with rate constant values available in the literature.     

Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methan-verbrückte Zweikernkomplexe,V. Heteronukleare Co/Rh-, Co/Ir-, Rh/Ir- und Ti/Ir-Komplexe mit dem Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methan-Dianion als Brückenliganden

Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methane-bridged Dinuclear Complexes, V^[1]. – Heteronuclear Co/Rh-, Co/Ir-, Rh/Ir-, and Ti/Ir Complexes with the Bis(cyclopentadienyl)methane Dianion as Bridging Ligand^* The lithium and sodium salts of the [C₅H₅CH₂C₅H₄]^- anion, 1 and 2 , react with [Co(CO)₄I], [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂, and [Ir(CO)₃Cl]n to give predominantly the mononuclear complexes [(C₅H₅-CH₂C₅H₄)M(CO)₂] ( 3, 5, 7 ) together with small amounts of the dinuclear compounds [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][M(CO)₂]₂ ( 4, 6, 8 ). The ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectra of 3, 5 , and 7 prove that the CH₂C₅H₅ substituent is linked to the π-bonded ring in two isomeric forms. Metalation of 5 and 7 with nBuLi affords the lithiated derivatives 9 and 10 from which on reaction with [Co(CO)₄I], [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂, and [C₅H₅TiCl₃] the heteronuclear complexes [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][M(CO)₂][M′(CO)₂] ( 11–13 ) and [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂]-[Ir(CO)₂][C₅H₅TiCl₂] ( 17 ) are obtained. Photolysis of 11 and 12 leads almost quantitatively to the formation of the CO-bridged compounds [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][M(CO)(μ-CO)M′(CO)] ( 14, 15 ). According to an X-ray crystal structure analysis the Co/Rh complex 14 is isostructural to [CH₂(C₅H₄)₂][Rh₂(CO)₂(μ-CO)] ( 16 ).     

Coordination compounds of [Hg{PPh2[M(CO)5]}2], (M = Cr, Mo, W)

Coordination of various neutral N and O ligands causes drastic changes in ¹J(³¹P-¹⁹⁹Hg) (increase up to the threefold) and δ(³¹P) (shifts up to 30 ppm to low frequencies), which are due to the presence of the M(CO)₅ groups. The complexes with DMSO, phen and bipy were isolated in the solid state. No coordination of [Hg{PCy₂[Cr(CO)₅]}₂] with the above ligands is observed.     

The formation of the anilinium ion from the ammonium ion in the ammonia chemical ionization of substituted benzenes

Compounds C₆H₅X(X ? F, Cl, Br, NO₂, CN, OCH₃) have been studied under chemical ionization conditions with ammonia as reagent gas. A pulsed electron beam and time resolved ion collection has allowed the determination of the reaction leading to the formation of [C₆H₅NH₃]⁺ (m/z 94). [NH₄]⁺ reacts with C₆H₅X(X ? F, Cl, Br) to yield m/z 94 but C₆H₅X (X ? CN, NO₂) forms this ion only by reactions involving either [NH₃]⁺ or [C₆H₅X]⁺. C₆H₅OCH₃ does not form m/z 94.     

Stibinidenkomplexe: Verbindungen mit trigonal planar koordiniertem antimon

L_nM = CH₃C₅H₄(CO)₂Mn; R = Br) which contain trigonally planar coordinated Sb(+1) with the stibanediyl ligand stabilized by M $\text{?}$ Sb(R) $\text{?}$ M-π-bonding have been obtained. Their synthesis and properties as well as an X-ray structure determination of [CH₃C₅H₄(CO)₂Mn]₂SbBr are described.     

Darstellung und Charakterisierung von [Pt(mal)2]2− und von trans-[Pt(mal)2X2]2− (X = Cl,Br, I,SCN)

Preparation and Characterization of [Pt(mal)₂]^2? and trans-[Pt(mal)₂X₂]^2? (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN) By twofold treatment of K₂[PtCl₄] with potassium hydrogen malonate in a queous solution the yellow K₂[Pt(mal)₂] · H₂O is obtained. After extraction with tetrabutylammonium ions into dichloromethane by oxidative addition at ?90°C the Pt^IV complexes [Pt(mal)₂X₂]^2?, X = Cl, Br, I, SCN, are formed. The SCN ligands are coordinated to Pt via S. The IR and Raman spectra are discussed and assigned.     

Force field studies of some trifluoromethyl- and trichloromethyl-mercury-II) compounds

Force constants of [Hg(CF₃)₂], [Hg(CCl₃)₂], [Hg(CF₃)X] (X = Cl, Br, or I) and [Hg(CCl₃)X] (X = Cl or Br) have been calculated using a valence force field and wavenumber data from solutions. The potential energy distributions show substantial mixing between the symmetrical stretching and umbrella deformation coordinates of the trihalomethyl groups. The high degree of mixing of HgC and HgX stretching coordinates in [Hg(CF₃)Br] and [Hg(CF₃)I] accounts for the discontinuous frequency and intensity trends in the [Hg(CF₃)X] series.The results are discussed in comparison with methylmercury and other trifluoromethyl systems.     

Cp2Ti{[OC(O)C5H4]Cr(CO)2NO]}2 and Cp2Ti{[(OC(O)C5H4]Cr(NO)2X}2 syntheses and spectra of chromium-titanium complexes bridged by carboxylate substituted cyclopentadienyl group

Complete demethylation of Cp₂Ti(CH₃)₂ in dichloromethane with 2 M equivalent of [η⁵-(C₅H₄COOH)]Cr(CO)₂NO (5), [η⁵-(C₅H₄COOH)]Cr(NO)₂X] (X = Cl 6, X = I 7), and [η⁵-(C₅H₄COOH)]W(CO)₃CH₃ (8); gives Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]Cr(CO)₂NO}₂ (13), Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]Cr(NO)₂Cl}₂ (14), Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]Cr(NO)₂I}₂ (15),and Cp₂Ti{[OC(O)C₅H₄]W(CO)₃CH₃}₂ (16), respectively. The chemical shifts of C(2)-C(5) carbon atoms of compounds 13-15 have been assigned using two-dimensional HetCOR NMR spectroscopy. The assigned chemical shifts were compared with the NMR data of their analogues of ferrocene, and the opposite correlation on the assignments was observed for cynichrodenoyl moieties.     

Topological incremental scheme for calculating13C NMR chemical shifts in polysubstituted benzenes with substituents of one kind

A new topological approach to predicting the¹³C NMR chemical shifts of polysubstituted benzenes has been proposed (in the example case of compounds with substituents of one kind of the type C₆H_6–nX_n). The collective interactions of several substituents X [X=CH₃, C₂H₅, iso-C₃H₇, CF₃, COOH, f, Cl, Br, Si(CH₃)₃] have been expressed in the framework of a regression treatment in terms of two-particle increments. The chemical shift of each carbon atom has been represented in the form of an equation containing 17 parameters. The calculation scheme can be transformed and expanded for use even in the calculation of the spectra of compounds not previously studied. The calculated shifts for some previously investigated compounds and some compounds not previously investigated have been presented. The error in reproducing chemical shifts is equal to 0.2–0.3 ppm (and may be as high as 0.8 ppm for only a few measurements).V. I.

Tertiary phosphine complexes of cyclopentadienylmolybdenum carbonyl halides. Stereoselective syntheses and isomer separations

Pure cis and trans isomers of CpMo(CO)₂(L)X (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅, L = PPh₃ or PBu₃, X = Br, or I) have been separated by chromatography and characterized by infrared and proton NMR spectroscopy. The reactions of trans-CpMo(CO)₂(L)CH₃ with HgX₂ (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN) afford cis-CpMo(CO)₂(L)X in high yield. Both linkage isomers are obtained in the reaction with Hg(SCN)₂, L = PPh₃. The mercuric halides react with CpMo(CO)₂(L)COCH₃ to form the metalmetal bonded derivatives trans-CpMo(CO)₂(L)HgX. Reactions of CpMo(CO)₂(L)CH₃ or CpMo(CO)₂(L)COCH₃ with bromine or iodine yield the halide complexes CpMo(CO)₂(L)X (X = Br and I, respectively), the product mixtures containing high proportions of the trans isomers.
