Addition of HCl to a Cluster-Bound Vinylidene Ligand: Preparation and Structure of Ru5(μ3-SMe)(μ3-CMe)(μ-Cl)(μ-SMe)(μ-PPh2)2(CO)9·PhMe

Addition of aqueous HCl to Ru₅( ₃-C=CH₂)(-SMe)₂(-PPh₂)₂(CO)₁₀ afforded the structurally characterized carbyne complex Ru₅( ₃-SMe)( ₃-CMe)(-Cl)(-SMe)(-PPh₂)₂(CO)₉, formed by addition of H to the vinylidene ligand; a Cl atom bridges an Ru–Ru bond.     

The Unique Ambiphilicity of Tellurium in the [MesitylTe(I)(I2)(I3)]− Anion

A first example of an aryltellurium(II) compound with three different bonding modes to iodine featuring covalent and non-covalent bonds such as two orthogonal, ambiphilic σ-hole interactions is introduced: [MesTe(I)(I₂)(I₃)]⁻. It is a member of a series of mesityltellurenyl anions, which are formed during reactions of (MesTe)₂ with ZnI₂, phenanthroline (phen) and iodine. [Zn(phen)₃][MesTe(I)₂] ( 1 ), [Zn(phen)₃][{MesTe(I)-(I)…Te(I)Mes}{MesTeI₂}] ( 2 ) and [Zn(phen)₃][MesTe(I)(I₂)(I₃)][MesTeI₂] ( 3 ) are isolated depending on the amount of iodine used. The products contain tellurium atoms bonded to a variety of iodine species (I⁻, μ₂-I⁻, I₂ and I₃⁻) and are, thus, perfectly suitable to explore the amphiphilic behavior of tellurium(II) and its relevance for the formation of non-covalent bonds, where tellurium acts as both donor and acceptor simultaneously. The character of chalcogen and halogen bonds are evaluated by the combination of crystallographic data and computational methods.     

Synthesis and ligand substituion chemistry of dinuclear,phosphido-bridged complexes of manganese. X-ray crystal structures of Mn2(μ-H)(μ-Cy2P)(CO)7(PCy2H)(1) and Mn2(μ-H)(μ-Cy2P)(CO)6(PMe32

Reaction of Mn₂ (CO)₁₀ with two equivalents of dicyclohexylphosphine in toluene at 110° produces Mn₂ (μ-H)(μ-Cy₂P)(CO)₇(PCy₂H) (1) in 60% yield. Interaction of 1 with excess trimethylphosphine produces Mn₂(μ-H)(μ-Cy₂P)(CO)₆ (PMe₃)(₂ (2) in 90% yield. The X-ray crystal structures of 1 and 2 have been determined. Both structures contain two Mn atoms bridged by a Cy₂P group and a hydridge. In each case, the metal atoms exhibit distorted octahedral geometry, with the phosphines occupying positions trans to the P atom of the bridging dicyclohexylphosphine. A metal-metal distance of ca. 2.9 Å separates the manganese atoms in both complexes.     

Reactivity of Rhodium(I) Complexes Bearing Nitrogen-Containing Ligands toward CH(3)I: Synthesis and Full Characterization of Neutral cis-[RhX(CO)(2)(L)] and Acetyl [RhI(μ-I)(COMe)(CO)(L)](2) Complexes

The neutral rhodium(I) square-planar complexes [RhX(CO)(2)(L)] [X = Cl (3), I (4)] bearing a nitrogen-containing ligand L [diethylamine (a), triethylamine (b), imidazole (c), 1-methylimidazole (d), pyrazole (e), 1-methylpyrazole (f), 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (g)] are straightforwardly obtained from L and [Rh(μ-X)(CO)(2)](2) [X = Cl (1), I (2)] precursors. The synthesis is extended to the diethylsulfide ligand h for 3h and 4h. According to the CO stretching frequency of 3 and 4, the ranking of the electronic density on the rhodium center follows the order b > a ≈ d > c > g > f ≈ h > e. The X-ray molecular structures of 3a, 3d-3f, 4a, and 4d-4f were determined. Results from variable-temperature (1)H and (13)C{(1)H} NMR experiments suggest a fluxional associative ligand exchange for 4c-4h and a supplementary hydrogen-exchange process in 4e and 4g. The oxidative addition reaction of CH(3)I to complexes 4c-4g affords the neutral dimeric iodo-bridged acetylrhodium(III) complexes [RhI(μ-I)(COCH(3))(CO)(L)](2) (6c-6g) in very good isolated yields, whereas 4a gives a mixture of neutral 6a and dianionic [RhI(2)(μ-I)(COCH(3))(CO)][NHMeEt(2)](2) and 4h exclusively provides the analogue dianionic complex with [SMeEt(2)](+) as the counterion. X-ray molecular structures for 6d(2) and 6e reveal that the two apical CO ligands are in mutual cis positions, as are the two apical d and e ligands, whereas isomer 6d(1) is centrosymmetric. Further reactions of 6d and 6e with CO or ligand e gave quantitatively the monomeric complexes [RhI(2)(COCH(3))(CO)(2)(d)] (7d) and [RhI(2)(COCH(3))(CO)(e)(2)] (8e), respectively, as confirmed by their X-ray structures. The initial rate of CH(3)I oxidative addition to 4 as determined by IR monitoring is dependent on the nature of the nitrogen-containing ligand. For 4a and 4h, reaction rates similar to those of the well-known rhodium anionic [RhI(2)(CO)(2)](-) species are observed and are consistent with the formation of this intermediate species through methylation of the a and h ligands. The reaction rates are reduced significantly when using imidazole and pyrazole ligands and involve the direct oxidative addition of CH(3)I to the neutral complexes 4c-4g. Complexes 4c and 4d react around 5-10 times faster than 4e-4g mainly because of electronic effects. The lowest reactivity of 4f toward CH(3)I is attributed to the steric effect of the coordinated ligand, as supported by the X-ray structure.     

A novel mixed-coordination cobalt(Ⅲ)complex:synthesis and structure of Co(Ⅲ)(mpp)(Hmpp)(n-Bu_3P)_2

Complex Co(Ⅲ)(mpp)(Hmpp) (n-Bu_3P)_2(1,H_mpp=2-mereapto-3-pyridinol) wasobtained from the reaction of COCl_2 with H_2mpp,n-Bu_3P and Na metal in EtOH.The Co atomin a distorted octahedral geometry is coordinated with donor atoms N,O,P and S.The twoH_2mpp ligands form two different ehelato ringa with the Co(Ⅲ) ion:one 5-membered and thoother ono 4-membered,while the two n-Bu_3P ligands are in the axial positions with the angleP(1)-Co-P(2) of 176.1°.     

Theory of hydride-proton transfer (HPT) carbonyl reduction by [Os(III)(tpy)(Cl)(NH═CHCH(3))(NSAr)

Quantum mechanical analysis reveals that carbonyl reduction of aldehydes and ketones by the imine-based reductant cis-[Os(III)(tpy)(Cl)(NH═CHCH(3))(NSAr)] (2), which is accessible by reduction of the analogous nitrile, occurs by hydride-proton transfer (HPT) involving both the imine and sulfilimido ligands. In carbonyl reduction, water or alcohol is necessary to significantly lower the barrier for proton shuttling between ligands. The -N(H)SAr group activates the carbonyl group through hydrogen bonding while the -NC(H)CH(3) ligand delivers the hydride.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Ni(Ⅱ)(L)(py)3]·(py)

The title complex, C37H34N6NiO5, has been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 1.15244(8), b = 1.69679(12), c = 1.78341(13) nm, β = 102.2320(10)°, V = 3.4082(4) nm3, Z = 4, Mr = 701.41, F(000) = 1464, Dc = 1.367 g/cm3 and μ(MoKα) = 0.622 mm-1. The structure was refined to R = 0.0459 and wR = 0.1199 for 5718 observed reflections. The intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure play important roles in the title complex's thermostability.     

Formation and isomerization of cis,cis-Ir(H)2(--Ph)(CO)(PPh3)2 and cis,cis-Ir(H)(--Ph)2(CO)(PPh3)2 in oxidative addition of hydrogen and phenylacetylene to trans-Ir(CO)(--Ph)(PPh3)2

Oxidative addition of H–R (H--Ph and H₂) to trans-Ir(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (2) gives the initial products, cis, cis-Ir(H)(--Ph)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3a) and cis, cis-Ir(H)₂(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3b), respectively. Both cis-bis(PPh₃) complexes, 3a and 3b undergo isomerization to give the trans-bis(PPh₃) complexes, trans, trans-Ir(H)(--Ph)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (4a) and cis, trans-Ir(H)₂(--Ph)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (4b). The isomerization, 3b→4b is first order with respect to 3b with k₁=6.37×10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ at 25°C under N₂ in CDCl₃. The reaction rate (k₁) seems independent of the concentration of H₂. A large negative entropy of activation (ΔS^≠=−24.9±5.7 cal deg⁻¹ mol⁻¹) and a relatively small enthalpy of activation (ΔH^≠=14.5±3.3 kcal mol⁻¹) were obtained in the temperature range 15∼35°C for the isomerization, 3b→4b under 1 atm of H₂.

Theoretical study of oxidation of cyclohexane diol to adipic anhydride by [Ru(IV)(O)(tpa)(H2O)]2+ complex (tpa ═ tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine)

The catalytic conversion of 1,2-cyclohexanediol to adipic anhydride by Ru(IV)O(tpa) (tpa ═ tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) is discussed using density functional theory calculations. The whole reaction is divided into three steps: (1) formation of α-hydroxy cyclohexanone by dehydrogenation of cyclohexanediol, (2) formation of 1,2-cyclohexanedione by dehydrogenation of α-hydroxy cyclohexanone, and (3) formation of adipic anhydride by oxygenation of cyclohexanedione. In each step the two-electron oxidation is performed by Ru(IV)O(tpa) active species, which is reduced to bis-aqua Ru(II)(tpa) complex. The Ru(II) complex is reactivated using Ce(IV) and water as an oxygen source. There are two different pathways of the first two steps of the conversion depending on whether the direct H-atom abstraction occurs on a C-H bond or on its adjacent oxygen O-H. In the first step, the C-H (O-H) bond dissociation occurs in TS1 (TS2-1) with an activation barrier of 21.4 (21.6) kcal/mol, which is followed by abstraction of another hydrogen with the spin transition in both pathways. The second process also bifurcates into two reaction pathways. TS3 (TS4-1) is leading to dissociation of the C-H (O-H) bond, and the activation barrier of TS3 (TS4-1) is 20.2 (20.7) kcal/mol. In the third step, oxo ligand attack on the carbonyl carbon and hydrogen migration from the water ligand occur via TS5 with an activation barrier of 17.4 kcal/mol leading to a stable tetrahedral intermediate in a triplet state. However, the slightly higher energy singlet state of this tetrahedral intermediate is unstable; therefore, a spin crossover spontaneously transforms the tetrahedral intermediate into a dione complex by a hydrogen rebound and a C-C bond cleavage. Kinetic isotope effects (k(H)/k(D)) for the electronic processes of the C-H bond dissociations calculated to be 4.9-7.4 at 300 K are in good agreement with experiment values of 2.8-9.0.     

Synthesis,structure, and electrochemistry of mer[RuCl3(DMSO–S)(DMSO–O)(py)]

Reaction of mer-[RuCl₃(DMSO–S)₂(DMSO–O] (1) with pyridine (py) in dichloromethane yields mer-[RuCl₃(DMSO–S)(DMSO–O)(py)] (2). A single crystal suitable for X-ray diffraction was obtained by recrystalization with dichloromethane and diethyl ether. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed an unusual case in which two independent molecules (2a and 2b) are present in the asymmetric unit cell. Both molecules have distorted octahedral geometry in which DMSO is bound through oxygen and sulfur. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed for 2a and 2b in gas phase to investigate bonding shown by the two DMSO ligands. Optimizations were done on both DMSO ligands bonded through S, both DMSO ligands bonded through O, one DMSO bonded through O, and the other through S but opposite to the actual molecule. The energy differences of the optimized structures were calculated.     

A structural and Mössbauer study of complexes with Fe(2)(micro-O(H))(2) cores: stepwise oxidation from Fe(II)(micro-OH)(2)Fe(II) through Fe(II)(micro-OH)(2)Fe(III) to Fe(III)(micro-O)(micro-OH)Fe(III)

Dinuclear non-heme iron clusters containing oxo, hydroxo, or carboxylato bridges are found in a number of enzymes involved in O(2) metabolism such as methane monooxygenase, ribonucleotide reductase, and fatty acid desaturases. Efforts to model structural and/or functional features of the protein-bound clusters have prompted the preparation and study of complexes that contain Fe(micro-O(H))(2)Fe cores. Here we report the structures and spectroscopic properties of a family of diiron complexes with the same tetradentate N4 ligand in one ligand topology, namely [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(II)(2)(micro-OH)(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(2) (1), [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(II)Fe(III)(micro-OH)(2)](CF(3)SO(3))(3) (2), and [(alpha-BPMCN)(2)Fe(III)(2)(micro-O)(micro-OH)](CF(3)SO(3))(3) (3) (BPMCN = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane). Stepwise one-electron oxidations of 1 to 2 and then to 3 demonstrate the versatility of the Fe(micro-O(H))(2)Fe diamond core to support a number of oxidation states with little structural rearrangement. Insight into the electronic structure of 1, 2', and 3 has been obtained from a detailed M?ssbauer investigation (2' differs from 2 in having a different complement of counterions). Mixed-valence complex 2' is ferromagnetically coupled, with J = -15 +/- 5 cm(-)(1) (H = JS(1).S(2)). For the S = (9)/(2) ground multiplet we have determined the zero-field splitting parameter, D(9/2) = -1.5 +/- 0.1 cm(-)(1), and the hyperfine parameters of the ferric and ferrous sites. For T < 12 K, the S = (9)/(2) multiplet has uncommon relaxation behavior. Thus, M(S) = -(9)/(2) <--> M(S) = +(9)/(2) ground state transition is slow while deltaM(S) = +/-1 transitions between equally signed M(S) levels are fast on the time scale of M?ssbauer spectroscopy. Below 100 K, complex 2' is trapped in the Fe(1)(III)Fe(2)(II) ground state; above this temperature, it exhibits thermally assisted electron hopping into the state Fe(1)(II)Fe(2)(III). The temperature dependence of the isomer shifts was corrected for second-order Doppler shift, obtained from the study of diferrous 1. The resultant true shifts were analyzed in a two-state hopping model. The diferric complex 3 is antiferromagnetically coupled with J = 90 +/- 15 cm(-)(1), estimated from a variable-temperature M?ssbauer analysis.
