The enthalpies of formation of CH3Mn(CO)5 and of CH3Re(CO)5, and the strengths of the CH3Mn and CH3Re bonds

From measurements of the heats of iodination of CH₃Mn(CO)₅ and CH₃Re(CO)₅ at elevated temperatures using the ‘drop’ microcalorimeter method, values were determined for the standard enthalpies of formation at 25° of the crystalline compounds: ΔH^o_f[CH₃Mn(CO)₅, c] = ?189.0 ± 2 kcal mol^?1 (?790.8 ± 8 kJ mol^?1), ΔH^o_f[Ch₃Re(CO)₅,c] = ?198.0 ± kcal mol^?1 (?828.4 ± 8 kJ mo^?1). In conjunction with available enthalpies of sublimation, and with literature values for the dissociation energies of MnMn and ReRe bonds in Mn₂(CO)₁₀ and Re₂(CO)₁₀, values are derived for the dissociation energies: D(CH₃Mn(CO)₅) = 27.9 ± 2.3 or 30.9 ± 2.3 kcal mol^?1 and D(CH₃Re(CO)₅) = 53.2 ± 2.5 kcal mol^?1. In general, irrespective of the value accepted for D(MM) in M₂(CO)₁₀, the present results require that, D(CH₃Mn) = $\text{1}\text{2}$D(MnMn) + 18.5 kcal mol^?1 and D(CH₃Re) = $\text{1}\text{2}$D(ReRe) + 30.8 kcal mol^?1.

The metal carbonyl anions [Fe(η-C₅H₅(CO)₂]^? and [Re(CO)₅] undergo regio- and site-specific [2 + 2]-cycloadditions with the ketenimines Ph₂CCNR (R = Me, Ph) to give the (isolable) anionic complexes [L_n$\text{M{C(CPh}{}_2\text{)N(R)C}$(O)}]^? (L_nM = Fe(η-C₅H₅)CO, Re(CO)₄) which have been alkylated and acylated at the exocyclic oxygen atom of the carbonyl function. The result is stable neutral complexes having a metallaazetidine structure which is composed of an α-metallated enamine and an N,O carbene part. IR, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR data are presented.     

The chemical oxidation and electronic spectra of the complexes trans-[M(CNR)2(Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2)2] (M = Mo or W)

Oxidation of the complexes $\text{trans}$-[M(CNR)₂(dppe)₂] (A) (M = Mo or W; R = Me, Bu^t or CH₃C₆H₄-$\text{4}$; dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) with diiodine or silver (I) salts gives the paramagnetic cations $\text{trans}$-[M(CNR)₂(dppe)₂]⁺, (M = Mo, R = CH₃C₆H₄-$\text{4}$; M = W, R = Bu^t) and $\text{trans}$-[M(CNR)₂(dppe)₂]²⁺ (M = Mo, R = Me or CH₃C₆H₄-$\text{4}$; M = W, R = Me or Bu^t). Mixtures of products are generally produced when dichlorine or dibromine are the oxidising agents, however pure salts, the seven-coordinate complex cations [MX(CNC₆H₄CH₃-$\text{4}$)₂(dppe)₂]⁺ (B, X = Cl or Br) have been isolated. A simple molecular orbital scheme is proposed for complexes (A) and used to discuss their electronic spectra and their oxidation.     

A novel synthesis of carbene complexes of manganese and molybdenum containing the trichlorogermyl group

A number of carbene complexes of formulas Cl₃GeMn(CO)₄C(OR′)R and C₅H₅Mo(CO)₂(GeCl₃)C(OR′)CH₃ (R = CH₃, C₆H₅; R′ = CH₃, C₂H₅) have been prepared by the reaction of [N(C₂H₅)₄]GeCl₃ with CH₃Mn(CO)₅, C₆H₅Mn(CO)₅, or C₅H₅Mo(CO)₃CH₃ followed by alkylation of the resulting trichlorogermylacylcarbonylmetallate ion. The compound C₅H₅Mo(CO)₂(GeCl₃)$\text{COCH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂ has been prepared directly by the reaction of [N(C₂H₅)₄]GeCl₃ with C₅H₅Mo(CO)₃(CH₂)₃Br.     

Reactions and properties of some trimethyleneplatinum(IV) complexes: X. Reaction with iodide and thiocyanate ions

The reaction between the platinacyclobutanes [$\text{PtX}{}_2\text{(CH}{}_2\text{CRR′C}$H₂)L₂] (X  Cl, Br; L  C₅H₅N, 4-CH₃C₅H₄N; R, R′  H, CH₃; R  H, R′  CH₃, C₆H₅) and iodide and thiocyanate ions in methyl cyanide solution has been studied. The C₃ moiety is eliminated as the cyclopropane and the process is first order with respect to the platinacyclobutanes and zero to half order with respect to the salt (MY). With the iodides the rate increases in the order Li < Na < K, Et₄N, and methyl substitution in the cyclobutane ring reduces the rate of reaction with Et₄NI. Added pyridine retards the reaction when L  C₅H₅N (X  Cl; R, R′  H) and added dimethylsulphoxide accelerates it.The mechanism suggested involves dissociation of an L ligand and attack of Y^? ions and of M⁺Y^? ion pairs on the five-coordinate intermediate formed.     

Direktsynthese von orthometallierten Ketonen des Typs RCO (o-C6H4)Mn(CO)4−nLn (R = Alkyl- und Arylrest,n = 0, 1, 2, L = Ligand)

Direct Synthesis of Orthometallated Ketones of the Type RCO(o-C₆H₄)Mn(CO)_4?nL_n (R = Alkyl and Aryl Groups, n = 0, 1, 2, L = Ligand) The starting materials of the type RMn(CO)_5?nL_n und (C₆H₅)₂ Hg react to the products of the type RCO(o-C₆H₄)Mn(CO)_4?nL_n[n = 0, R = Ch₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇, C₆H₅,CH₂; R = C₆H₅, n = 1, L = E(C₆H₅)₃, E = P, As, Sb; R = C₆H₅, n = 2, L = P(OR′)₃, R′ = C₆H₅, CH₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇]. Steps of their complex reaction pathway are proposed. These orthometallated substances have been characterized by means of ¹H-n.m.r., i.r. and u.v. spectroscopic measurements. The determination of the molecular structure of the two compounds RCO(o-C₆H₄)Mn(CO)₃L [R = C₂H₅, L = CO; R = C₆H₅, L = As(C₆H₅)₃] show that both contain a planar heterocyclic five-membered ring of the type .     

Übergangsmetall-substituierte vb elementsysteme : VIII. Darstellung und komplexchemisches verhalten von cyclopentadienyl(tricarbonyl)viametall-dimethylstibinen

Starting with the cyclopentadienyl(carbonyl)metal anions [π-C₅H₅(CO)₃M]^? (M = Cr, Mo, W) and (CH₃)₂SbBr, transition metal-substituted stibines of the form π-C₅H₅(CO)₃MSb(CH₃)₂ are obtained. The nucleophilic character of the VB element primarily determines the reactivity of these species, and shows itself in alkyl halide quarternization (a) or ligand exchange on activated metal carbonyl complexes (b). (a) yields the trialkylstibine-substituted metal cations [π-C₅H₅-(CO)₃MSb(CH₃)₂R]X (R = CH₃, CH₂CH=CH₂, CH₂C₆H₅; X = Br, J), (b) leads to the formation of the metal carbonyl derivatives LM(CO)₅, L₂M(CO)₄ (M = Cr, Mo, W), LNi(CO)₃ and LFe(CO)₄ [L = (CH₃)₂SbM(CO)₃-π-C₅H₅] which are the first (CH₃)₂Sb-bridged polynuclear complexes. Phosphorus ylides cause heterolytic cleavage of the antimonytransition metal bond. Transfer of the (CH₃)₂Sb-group to the ylidic carbanion occurs via substitution/transylidation. All new compounds have been fully characterized by means of ¹H NMR, IR and mass spectroscopy     

Anionic tricarbonyl derivatives of molybdenum and tungsten and their reactions with allyl halides

A series of carbonylmetallate anions $\text{fac}$-[MX(CO)₃L₂]^?, where M = Mo or W, X = Cl, Br or I and L₂ = 1,10-phenanthroline(phen) or 2,2′-bipyridine(bipy) have been prepared from the corresponding $\text{cis}$-M(CO)₄L₂ complexes. No evidence of $\text{fac}$-to $\text{mer}$-isomerisation was evident on dissolution, although in MeCN solvolysis occurred with the formation of $\text{fac}$-M(CO)₃L₂(MeCN). Reaction of the anions with various allyl halides resulted in high yields of η³-allyl complexes [MX(CO)₂(η³-RC₃H₄)L₂]. The significance of these observations for the mechanism of the allyl oxidative-addition reaction are discussed.

(R=R¹=F ; R²=R³=CH₃, C₂H₅ M=As, Sb 4a ? c R=H, R¹=F; R²=R³=CH₃ M=As, Sb 5a, b R=R¹=CF₃; R²=H, R³=CH₃ M=Sb 12 R=R¹=CF₃; R²=R³=CH₃ M=As 14) are reported, the spectroscopic properties (IR, NMR) of the cations of these salts are briefly discussed. By F^?-addition to these salts, $\text{e.g.}$ to 16, perfluoroalkyl-bis(alkyl)-amines ($\text{e.g.}$ (CF₃)₂CFN(CH₃)₂ 15) can be prepared; from the methylation of CF₃NCF₂ bis(trifluoromethyl) methylamine (CF₃)₂NCH₃ (11) was obtained.     

Die thermische reaktion von C5H5(CO)2FeNa mit benzimidchloriden C6H5(Cl)CNR

η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeNa reacts with the benzimide chlorides C₆H₅(Cl)CNR (R  CH(CH₃)₂, C₆H₅) in boiling THF to give the η¹-iminoacyl complexes η⁵-C₅H₅ (CO)₂Fe[η¹-C(C₆H₅)NR]. Alternatively, the new Fe complexes [η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)Fe$\text{C(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)N(CH}{}_3\text{)C(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)N}$CH₃PF₆ (IV) and [η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeC(C₆H₅)N(CH₃)C(C₆H₅)NCH₃]PF₆ (V) are formed under the same conditions, if R  CH₃. Hudrolysis of the CN single bond of the ligand in V, not stabilized by a chelate effects as in IV, results in the formation of [η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeC(C₆H₅)NHCH₃]PF₆ (VII). Reaction of η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂ with N-benyzylbenzimido chloride yields η⁵-C₅H₅(CO)₂FeCH₂C₆H₅ as the only isolated product.     

Isomere η2-Acyl- und σ-Alkyl(carbonyl)-Komplexe von Molybdän und Wolfram. Eine Studie zum Bildungs-mechanismus,zur Isomerisierungsgeschwindigkeit und zur Steuerung der Gleichgewichtslage

η²-Acyl and σ-Alkyl(carbonyl) Coordination in Molybdenum and Tungsten Complexes: Synthesis and Studies of the Isomerization Equilibria and Kinetics The anionic molybdenum and tungsten complexes [L_RM(CO)₃]^? (L_R^? = [(C₅H₅)Co{P(O)R₂}₃]^?, R = OCH₃, OC₂H₅, O-i-C₃H₇; M = Mo, W) have been alkylated with the iodides R′ I, R′ = CH₃, C₂H₅, i-C₃H₇, and CH₂C₆H₅. The reactivity pattern of the alkylation is in accord with a S_N2 mechanism. Depending on M, R′, reaction temperature, and time the η-alkyl (carbonyl) compounds [L_RM(CO)₃R′] and/or the isomeric η²-acyl compounds [L_RM(CO)₂(η²-COR′)] can be obtained. 8 new σ-alkyl(carbonyl) compounds and 15 new η²-acyl compounds have been isolated and characterized. The ¹H NMR and the IR spectra give conclusive evidence that the σ-alkyl(carbonyl) compounds [L_RM(CO)₃R′] are formed as the primary products of the alkylation and that they isomerize partly or completely to give the η²-acyl compounds [L_RM(CO)₂(η²-COR′)]. The position of the equilibrium σ-alkyl(carbonyl)/η²-acyl is controlled by the steric demands of the groups R′ and the ligands L_R^?. The molybdenum compounds isomerize much more readily than the tungsten compounds. The rate constants of the isomerization processes [L_RMo(CO)₃CH₃] → [L_RMo(CO)₂(η²-COCH₃)], R = OCH₃, OC₂H₅, and O-i-C₃H₇, measured at 305 K in acetone-d₆, are 6–8 x 10^?3 s^?1.     

Cleavage of iron2-alkenyl and iron2-alkynyl bonds by mercury(II) chloride

Reactions of HgCl₂ with η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂R (R  CH₂CHCH₂ and CH₂C(CH₃)CH₂) in THF at 25°C rapidly afford $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts of the two reactants. These adducts were converted to the corresponding PF₆^? salts, [η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂(η²-CH₂C(R)CH₂HgCl)]⁺ PF₆^? (R  H and CH₃), for characterization. Slower reactions with cleavage of the ironcarbon σ bond and elimination of the R group from η⁵-C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂R occur for R  CH₂CHC(CH₃)₂, CH₂CHCHC₆H₅, and CH₂CCC₆H₅. Both elimination and $\text{1}\text{1}$ adduct formation are observed when R  CH₂CHCHCH₃. The kinetics of the cleavage reactions are presented and possible mechanisms for both cleavage and $\text{1}\text{1}$ adduct formation are discussed.

In all cases secondary ions of sandwich type [ArCrL]⁺ or [C₅H₄RML]⁺ containing a new metalligand bond are formed.     

Organotellurium derivatives: III. Synthesis of anionic complexes of 1-telluracyclopentane(IV) 11 diiodide

Complexes containing tetrahalotelluracyclopenzane anions of the type (R₄M₂)⁺[C₄H₈TeX₂X′₂]^2- (where R = CH₃, C₂H₅, C₃H₇, C₄H₉, C₆H₁₃, C₇H₁₅ or C₆H₅; M = N, P, As or Sb; X = Cl, Br, or I and X′ = I, Cl, Br, NCO, NCS, or N₃) have been synthesized, (i) by the interaction of 1-telluracyclopentane $\text{1}\text{1}$ diiodide with the corresponding tetraorganoammonium, -phosphonium, -arsonium, or -stibonium halides in nonaqueous solvents and (ii) via halogen exchange between complex anions and silver or alkali metal halides. The second method also yielded several pseudohalide and mixed halide-pseudohalide derivatives. The ionic nature of the new complex anions has been established by conductance and molecular weight measurements. NMR and IR spectra of some of the derivatives are discussed.
