Synthesen und Kristallstrukturanalysen von [SbI3(SbMe3)(THF)]2 und [Li(THF)4]2[Bi2Cl8(THF)2]

Building und Reaktionen des Phosphanyliden-Phosphorans (tBu)2P?P = PX(tBu)2 (X = Br,Cl)

Formation and Reaction of the Phosphanylidene-phosphorane (tBu)₂P? P = PX(tBu)₂ (X = Br, Cl) The formation of (tBu)₂P? P = P(Br)tBu₂ 1 from [(tBu)₂P]₂PLi and BrH₂C? CH₂Br begins with an exchange of Li against Br and is then determined by the migration of Br from the secondary P atom in [(tBu)₂P]₂PBr 6 to the primary P in 1 . Similarly, (tBu)₂P? P = PC1(tBu)₂ 2 is obtained starting from PCl₃ and LiP(tBu)₂. The formation of Phospanylidene—phosporane is not influenced by the choice o the halogene substituent, but the presence of the tBu groups is strongly required. (tBu)₂P? P(Li)? P(SiMe₃)₂ e. g., yields (tBu)₂P? P(br)? P(SiMe₃)₂ with BrH₂C? CH₂Br; however neither this nor (tBu)₂P? P(Cl)? P(SiMe₃)₂ do rearrange to a Phosphanylidene-phosphorane. The F₃C substituent could be neglected in this investigation as [(F₃C)₂P]₂P? SiMe₃ cannot be lithiated by means of BuLi. Compounds 1 and 2 display a charateristic temperature dependent behavior. While 1 at +20°C decomposes via the reactive intermediate (tBu)₂P? P to from the cyclophosphanes P₃[P(tBu)₂]₄, it gives crystals of [(tBu)₂P]₂P? p[P(tBu)₂]₂ at ?20°C (from a solution in toluene). Reacting 1 with tBuLi produces (tBu)₂P? P = P(H)tBu₂ 20 and (tBu)₂P? P(H)? P(tBu)₂ 14 . Initially, a transmetallation yield tBuBr and (tBu)₂ P? P=Pli(tBu)₂ 21 ,then LiBr and isobutene are eliminated and 20 is formed which can rearrange to produce 14 . Without the elimination of isobutene, 1 react with nBuLi to give 21 witch can be trapped with Me₃SiCl as (tBu)₂P? P(tBu)₂ 23 . The main product in in this reaction is however [(tBu)₂P]₂P? nBu 22 .

(Ph₄P)[Re₂Br₉] (triclinic, space group P 1, a = 11.062(2), b = 12.430(3), c = 13.163(5) Å, α = 72.94(2), β = 68.47(2), γ = 82.09(2)°, Z = 2) contains a confacial bioctahedral anion with nearly D_3h symmetry and mean terminal and bridging Re–Br distances of 2.460 and 2.536 Å, respectively, and a Re–Re distance of 2.780 Å.     

Heterometallatom-Koordinationsverbindungen Re2(μ-PPh2)2[mer-(CO)3]2-trans-[InX2(H2O)]2 und neue halogenhaltige drei- und vierkernige Rheniumcluster aus Reaktionen zwischen Re2[μ-PPh2)2(CO)8] und InX3 (X = Cl,Br, I)

Heterometallic Coordination Compounds Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂[mer-(CO)₃]₂-trans-[InX₂(H₂O)]₂ and New Halogene Containing Three- and Four-Nuclear Rhenium Clusters from Reactions between Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₈ and InX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) In sealed glass tubes equimolar amounts of Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₈ and InX₃ (X = Cl, Br, I) were reacted in the presence of xylene at 220°C to two types of products. The first type comprised the heterometallic coordination compounds Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂(CO)₆[InX₂(H₂O)]₂ (X = Cl, Br, I) (yield 60%), and the second halogene containing rhenium complexes Re₃(μ₃-H)(μ₃-X)(μ-PPh₂)₃(CO)₆ (unsaturated three-membered metal ring with 46 VE) and Re₄(μ-H)(μ-X)(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ and additionally those substances as cis-IRe(CO)₄(PPh₂H), Re₂(μ-PPh₂)(μ-X)(CO)₈ (X = Cl, Br), Re₂(μ-I)₂[μ-(PPh₂)₂O](CO)₆ and Re₄(μ-Cl)₂(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ (four-membered metal ring with 66 VE with three Re? Re bonds) which have been observed in one or two of the three reaction systems. A proposal of the reaction course is discussed. The single X-ray analysis of Re₂(μ-PPh₂)₂[mer(CO)₃]₂-trans[InI₂(H₂O)]₂ · 2 Me₂CO shows for the two fold phosphido bridged dirhenium molecular fragment with 34 VE a Re? Re bond of 294.6(1) pm. From two possible transpositions of both In? Re bond vectors, the one found advantageously has sterical reasons. The average In? Re single bond length is 271.1(1) pm. The corresponding determination of the unsaturated three-membered ring compound Re₃(μ₃-H) (μ₃-Cl)(μ-PPh₂)₃(CO)₆ showed three Re? Re bond lenghts of comparable size, of which the mean value of 281.9(1) pm was significantly shortened by π electron delocalization effect compared to that of a saturated phosphido bridged three-membered rhenium ring compound. As it was recognized by further comparison, the structural data of the common molecular fragments in the three examined three-membered rhenium ring clusters (X = Cl, Br, I) are not dependent on the different kind of halogeno ligand atoms. Finally, the crystal structure determination of the substance Re₄(μ-H)(μ-Br)(μ-PPh₂)₄(μ₄-PPh)(CO)₈ shows the presence of square-pyramidal Re₄(μ₄-P) atomic arrangement, of which the planar basic plane has a sequence of up- and downwards orientated four diphenylphosphido bridging groups. The four measured Re? Re single bond lengths (mean value 302.7(3) pm change with the different kind of bridging atoms. The structural features observed are compared with those of a corresponding iodine derivative.
