Addition of CCl4 to unsaturated compounds catalyzed by M3(CO)12 (M=Fe, Ru, Os)

The addition of CCl₄ to hex-1-ene and to the methyl ester ofN-(trans-cinnamoyl)-l-proline (2) catalyzed by M₃(CO)₁₂ or by the M₃(CO)₁₂+DMF system (M=Fe, Ru, Os) was studied. The use of ruthenium and osmium dodecacarbonyls in combination with DMF increases the yields of adducts CCl₃CH₂CHClC₄H₉ (4) and PhCHClCH(CCl₃)C(O)R′ (3) over those obtained in reactions catalyzed by the same carbonyls without DMF. In addition to adduct3, salts [M(CO₃)Cl₃]⁻[Me₂NH₂]⁺ were isolated from the products of the reaction between CCl₄ and1 in the presence of M₃(CO)₁₂+DMF (M=Ru, Os). These salts do not catalyze this reaction and apparently result from chain termination. Experimental results in favor of a coordination mechanism of the addition of CCl₄ to olefins in the presence of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ and Os₃(CO)₁₂ were obtained.

Radical telomerization of 3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propene with carbon tetrachloride

Telomerization of 3,3,3-trifluoropropene with CCl₄ was carried out in the presence of Fe(CO)₅ in combination with dimethylformamide (DMF) or hexamethylphoshoric triamide (HMPA) with formation of the telomers CCl₃(CH₂CHCF₃)_nCl, n=1–3, as the main products. Chromatography-mass spectrometry showed the presence of CCl₃CH₂CH(CCL₃)CF₃, a product of recombination of the adduct radical and CCl₃, in the reaction mixture, which confirms the radical nature of the process. The structure of all the reaction products was confirmed by¹³C NMR and (or) mass spectrometry.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1807–1811, August, 1990.     

Übergangsmetall-komplexe mit schwefelliganden: III. Eisen(II)-komplexe mit dem neuen fünfzähnigen thiol-thioether-liganden dpttd-H2 = 2,3,11,12-dibenzo-1,4,7,10,13-pentathia tridecan,synthese und reaktionen von komplexen des typs [Fe(dpttd)L], L = CO,PR3, DMSO,DMF, N2H4

Alkylation of [Fe(S₂C₆H₄)₂(CO)₂]^2? with S(C₂H₄Br)₂ yields loosing one CO ligand the monocarbonyl complex [Fe(dpttd)CO], where dpttd represents the dianion of the novel pentadentate thioether-thiol ligand dpttd-H₂ = 2,3,11,12-dibenzo-1,4,7,10,13-pentathiatridecan. The extremely stable [Fe(dpttd)CO] forms several coordination isomers with different ν(CO) frequencies. Dependent on the reaction conditions, the thermal or photochemical reaction of [Fe(dpttd)CO] with N₂H₅OH yields [Fe(dpttd)(N₂H₄)_2–3] or [Fe(dpttd)(N₂H₄)]·THF; the latter can also be obtained from [Fe(dpttd){P(OPh)₃}] and N₂H₄ in THF at 5–10°C. The CO ligand of [Fe(dpttd)CO] can be substituted thermally by PMe₃, PEt₃, PMePh₂ or P(OPh)₃ yielding the corresponding phosphine and phosphite complexes, but CO substitution by PPh₃ does not take place. Dissolution of [Fe(dpttd)(N₂H₄)_2–3] in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) leads to [Fe(dpptd)(DMSO)], which yields [Fe(dpttd)(DMF)] at 80°C in dimethyl formamide (DMF). [Fe(dpttd)CO] is stable to air in the solid state as well as in solution, however, it decomposes on oxidation by H₂O₂, I₂, Br₂ or N-bromosuccinimide loosing CO and with destruction of the sulfur ligand. All complexes are not very soluble or hardly soluble in all common solvents; this is also found for methyl-substituted [Fe(dpttd)CO], which is obtained from [Fe(S₂C₆Me₄)₂(CO)₂]^2? and S(C₂H₄Br)₂. Oxidation or thermal decomposition of the N₂H₄ complexes yields [Fe(dpttd)]_x, from which [Fe(dpttd)CO] regenerates rapidly on treatment with CO.     

Electron spin resonance spectra observed in the course of grafting iron carbonyls on sodium-Y zeolites

The adsorption and/or decomposition pathway of Fe₂(CO)₉ or Fe₃(CO)₁₂ on hydrated or dehydrated NaY zeolites has been studied by an ESR technique. The adsorption resulted in the formation of three paramagnetic species withg _iso=2.0450, 2.0378, and 2.0016, which were attributable to Fe₃(CO)₁₁ ^–, Fe₂(CO)₈ ^–, and Fe(CO)₄ ^– anion radicals, respectively. These radicals have been suggested as intermediates in the formation of HFe₃(CO)₁₁ ^– on the hydrated NaY zeolite and Fe₃(CO)₁₂ on the dehydrated NaY zeolite.     

Kinetics and mechanism in the decomposition of CCl4 in a radio-frequency pulse discharge

In the decomposition of CCl₄ in an r.f. pulse discharge the observation of time-resolved absorption spectra of the CCl radical allowed concentration measurements and a kinetic and mechanistic investigation of the system. Kinetic spectroscopy and end product analysis, with computer simulation of proposed mechanisms, indicates that the major decomposition reaction is CCl₄»CCl+3Cl (Cl₂+Cl), with a minor contribution from CCl₄»CCl₂+2Cl. Radical concentrations were of the order of 10^–7 mol dm^–3 (10¹⁴ molec. cm^–3). CCl removal was kinetically second order with a rate coefficient value of (3.7±8)×10¹⁰ mol^–1 dm^–3 s^–1 at 295±3 K at gas pressure 0.1 torr.     

Metal carbonyl catalysis of carbon monoxide and formate reactions

The water gas shift reaction (CO + H₂O = CO₂+ H₂) is catalyzed by aqueous metal carbonyl systems derived from simple mononuclear carbonyls such as Fe(CO)₅ and M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, and W) and bases in the 140–200 °C temperature range. The water gas shift reaction in a basic methanol-water solution containing Fe(CO)₅ is first order in [Fe(CO)₅], zero order in [CO], and essentially independent of base concentration and appears to involve an associative mechanism with a metallocarboxylate intermediate [(CO)₄Fe-CO₂H]^–. The water gas shift reactions using M(CO)₆ as catalyst precursors are first order in [M(CO)₆], inverse first order in [CO], and first order in [HCO₂ ^–] and appear to involve a dissociative mechanism with formatometallate intermediates [(CO)₅M-OCHO]^–.The Reppe hydroformylation of ethylene to produce propionaldehyde and 1-propanol in basic solutions containing Fe(CO)₅ occurs at 110–140 °C. This reaction is second order in [Fe(CO)₅], first order in [C₂H₄] up to a saturation pressure >1.5 MPa, and inhibited by [CO]. These experimental results suggest a mechanism where the rate-determining step involves a binuclear iron carbonyl intermediate. The substitution of Et₃N for NaOH as the base facilitates the reduction of propionaldehyde to 1-propanol but results in a slower rate for the overall reaction.The homogeneous photocatalytic decomposition of the formate ion to H₂ and CO₂ in the presence of Cr(CO)₆ appears to be closely related to the water gas shift reaction. The rate of H₂ production from the formate ion exhibits saturation kinetics in the formate ion and is inhibited by added pyridine. The infrared spectra of the catalyst solutions indicate an LCr(CO)₅ intermediate. Photolysis of the Cr(CO)₆/formate system in aqueous methanol in the presence of an aldehyde RCHO (R =n-heptyl,p-tolyl, andp-anisyl) results in catalytic hydrogenation of the aldehyde to the corresponding alcohol RCH₂OH by the formate ion. Detailed kinetic studies onp-tolualdehyde hydrogenation by this method indicates saturation kinetics in formate ion, autoinhibition by thep-tolualdehyde, and a threshold effect for Cr(CO)₆ at concentrations >0.004 mol L^–1. The presence of an aldehyde can interrupt the water gas shift catalytic cycle by interception of an HCr(CO)₅ ^– intermediate by the aldehyde.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Polymerization of methyl methacrylate by charge transfer mechanism by melamine and iron(III) complex

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) can be polymerized by the charge-transfer complex formed by the interaction of melamine (MM), MMA and carbon tetrachloride in a non-aqueous solvent like dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) or N-N-dimethylformamide. The polymerization can be accelerated by Lewis acids like Fe^3?. This paper reports the polymerization of MMA initiated by MM and CCl₄ and accelerated with hexakis dimethylsulphoxide iron(III) perchlorate [Fe(DMSO)₆] (ClO₄)₃. A, at 60°. Induction periods were observed for the polymerization initiated by MM and CCl₄ alone, but not when the molar ratio of MM to A became 3:1. The molecular weights of the polymers with 3:1 molar ratio of MM to A were higher than with MM alone. The rate constant for the polymerization of MMA in presence of [Fe(MM)₃]³⁺ was 1.4181 × 10^?5 1 mol^?1 sec^?1 at 60°. The transfer constant for CCl₄, in the absence of A, is 4.66 × 10^?3.     

Kinetics of the thermal decomposition of [Co(NH3)6]2(C2O4)3·4H2O

The thermal decomposition of [Co(NH₃)₆]₂(C₂O₄)₃·4H₂O was studied under isothermal conditions in flowing air and argon. Dissociation of the above complex occurs in three stages. The kinetics of the particular stages thermal decomposition have been evaluated. The R_N and/or A_M models were selected as those best fitting the experimental TG curves. The activation energies,E, and lnA were calculated with a conventional procedure and by a new method suggested by Kogaet al. [10, 11]. Comparison of the results have showed that the Arrhenius parameters values estimated by the use of both methods are very close. The calculated activation energies were in air: 96 kJ mol^–1 (R_1.575, stage I); 101 kJ mol^–1 (Ain1.725 stage II); 185 kJ mol^–1 (A _2.9, stage III) and in argon: 66 kJ mol^–1 (A _1.25, stage I); 87 kJ mol^–1 (A _1.825, stage II); 133 kJ mol^–1 (A _2.525, stage III).     

Insertion of Phosphenium Ions into a Bicyclo[1.1.0]Tetraphosphabutane Iron Complex

By reacting [{Cp‴Fe(CO)₂}₂(µ,η^1:1-P₄)] (1) with in situ generated phosphenium ions [Ph₂P][A] ([A]⁻ = [OTf]⁻ = [O₃SCF₃]⁻, [PF₆]⁻), a mixture of two main products of the composition [{Cp‴Fe(CO)₂}₂(µ,η^1:1-P₅(C₆H₅)₂)][PF₆] (2a and 3a) could be identified by extensive ³¹P NMR spectroscopic studies at 193 K. Compound 3a was also characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, showing the rarely observed bicyclo[2.1.0]pentaphosphapentane unit. At room temperature, the novel compound [{Cp‴Fe}(µ,η^4:1-P₅Ph₂){Cp‴(CO)₂Fe}][PF₆] (4) is formed by decarbonylation. Reacting 1 with in situ generated diphenyl arsenium ions gives short-lived intermediates at 193 K which disproportionate at room temperature into tetraphenyldiarsine and [{Cp‴Fe(CO)₂}₄(µ₄,η^1:1:1:1-P₈)][OTf]₂ (5) containing a tetracyclo[3.3.0.0^2,7.0^3,6]octaphosphaoctane ligand.     

The thermal dehydration and decomposition of Ba[Cu(C2O4)2(H2O)]·5H2O

The thermal behaviour of Ba[Cu(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)]·5H₂O in N₂ and in O₂ has been examined using thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The dehydration starts at relatively low temperatures (about 80°C), but continues until the onset of the decomposition (about 280°C). The decomposition takes place in two major stages (onsets 280 and 390°C). The mass of the intermediate after the first stage corresponded to the formation of barium oxalate and copper metal and, after the second stage, to the formation of barium carbonate and copper metal. The enthalpy for the dehydration was found to be 311±30 kJ mol^–1 (or 52±5 kJ (mol of H₂O)^–1). The overall enthalpy change for the decomposition of Ba[Cu(C₂O₄)₂] in N₂ was estimated from the combined area of the peaks of the DSC curve as –347 kJ mol^–1. The kinetics of the thermal dehydration and decomposition were studied using isothermal TG. The dehydration was strongly deceleratory and the -time curves could be described by the three dimensional diffusion (D3) model. The values of the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor for the dehydration were 125±4 kJ mol^–1 and (1.38±0.08)×10¹⁵ min^–1, respectively. The decomposition was complex, consisting of at least two concurrent processes. The decomposition was analysed in terms of two overlapping deceleratory processes. One process was fast and could be described by the contracting-geometry model withn=5. The other process was slow and could also be described by the contracting-geometry model, but withn=2.The values ofE _a andA were 206±23 kJ mol^–1 and (2.2±0.5)×10¹⁹ min^–1, respectively, for the fast process, and 259±37 kJ mol^–1 and (6.3±1.8)×10²³ min^–1, respectively, for the slow process.Dedicated to Prof. Menachem Steinberg on the occasion of his 65th birthday     

Synthesis,chemical, and electrochemical characterization of the [Ag13{μ3-Fe(CO)4}] n− (n = 3, 4, 5) cluster anions: X-Ray structural determination of [N(PPh3)2]3 [Ag12(μ12-Ag){μ3Fe(CO)4}8]1

The oxidation of the [Fe(CO)₄]^2– dianion with Ag⁺ salts occurs through a particularinner-sphere mechanism, which involves an intermediate cascade of silver clusters stabilized by Fe(CO)₄ ligands. The last detectable Ag-Fe cluster of the sequence is the [Ag₁₃{-Fe(CO)₄}₈]^3– trianion, which has been selectively obtained by using ca. 1.7 equivalents of Ag⁺ per mole of [Fe(CO)₄]^2–. The [Ag₁₃{-Fe(CO)₄}₈]^3–- trianion has been isolated in a crystalline state with several quaternary cations, and has been characterized by X-ray diffraction studies of its bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium salt. [N(PPh₃)₂]₃ [Ag₁₃{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄}₈]·2(CH₃)₂CO, monoclinic, space group P2₁ (No.4),a = 16.284(2) Å,b =18.767(5) Å,c = 25.905(4) Å, = 90.46(1)°,V = 7916(3) ų,Z = 2,R = 0.0324. The molecular structure of the anion consists of a centered cuboctahedron of silver atoms with the triangular faces capped by Fe(CO)₄ units. Chemical reduction of ( Ag₁₃{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄}₈]^3– affords the corresponding [Ag₁₃{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄)₈]^4–, which in turn gives [Ag₁₃{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄)₈]^5– and [Ag₆{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄}₄]^– upon further reduction. Electrochemical investigations confirm the reversibility of the [Ag₁₃{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄}₈]^3–/4– redox change. Furthermore, in spite of some electrode poisoning effects, evidence of the existence of the [Ag₁₃{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄}₈]^5– pentaanion was obtained. The yet structurally uncharacterized [Ag₆{ ₃-Fe(CO)₄)₄]^2– dianion is quantitatively obtained by reaction of [Fe(CO)₄]^2– with ca. 1.5 equivalents of Ag⁺ or by addition of one equivalent of Ag⁺ to solutions of the [Ag₅{Fe(CO)₄}₄]^3– trianion. All attempts to isolate its quaternary salts as crystalline materials failed owing to formation of amorphous insoluble precipitates. The above series of ₃-Fe(CO)₄ octa-capped cuboctahedral Ag₁₃ clusters can be envisioned as the Ag⁺ . Ag and Ag^– cryptates of the [Ag₁₂{}₃-Fe(CO)₄}₈]^4– cryptand. respectively.Dedicated to Prof L. F. Dahl on his 65th birthday.     

Kinetic and mechanism of pentacyanohydroxoferrate(III) formation from the reaction of [Fe2HPDTA(OH)2] with cyanide ions

Summary The kinetics and mechanism of exchange of HPDTA in [Fe₂HPDTA(OH)₂] with cyanide ion (HPDTA=2-hydroxytrimethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) was investigated spectrophotometrically by monitoring the peak at 395 nm ( _max of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– at pH=11.0±0.02,I=0.25m (NaClO₄) at ±0.1°C).Three distinct observable stages were identified; the first is the formation of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3–, the second the formation of [Fe(CN)₆]^3– from it and the third the reduction of [Fe(CN)₆]^3– to [Fe(CN)₆]^4– by HPDTA^4– released in the first stage.The first stage follows first-order kinetics in [Fe₂HPDTA(OH)₂] and second-order in [CN^–] over a wide range of [CN^–], but becomes zero order at [CN^–]<5×10^–2 m. We suggest a cyanide-independent dissociation of [Fe₂HPDTA)(OH)₂] into [FeHPDTA(OH)] and [Fe(OH)]²⁺ at low cyanide concentrations and a cyanide-assisted rapid dissociation of [Fe₂HPDTA(OH)₂] to [FeHPDTA(OH)(CN)]^3– and [Fe(OH)]²⁺ at higher cyanide concentrations. The excess of cyanide reacts further with [FeHPDTA(OH)(CN)]^3– finally to form [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3–.The reverse reaction between [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– and HPDTA^4– is first-order in [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– and HPDTA^4–, and exhibits inverse first-order dependence on cyanide concentration.A six-step mechanism is proposed for the first stage of reaction, with the fifth step as rate determining.     

Polymerization of methyl methacrylate by a charge transfer mechanism with urea and iron (III) complex

Methyl methacrylate (MMA) can be polymerized by a charge transfer complex formed by the interaction of urea, methyl methacrylate, and carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄) in a nonaqueous solvent like dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The rate of polymerization can be accelerated by Lewis acids like Fe³⁺. This article reports the polymerization of MMA initiated by urea and CCl₄ and accelerated with hexakisdimethylsulfoxide iron (III) perchlorate, [Fe(DMSO)₆](ClO₄)₃, and A at 60°C. Definite induction periods were observed for the polymerization reaction initiated by urea and CCl₄ alone, but the induction period completely vanished when the molar ratio of urea to A reached 6:1. The molecular weights of the polymers with 6:1 molar ratio of urea to A were higher than with urea alone. The rate constant for the polymerization of MMA in the presence of [Fe(urea)₆]³⁺ was 1.03 × 10^?5 1 mol^?1 s^?1 at 60°C. The transfer constant for CCl₄ for polymerization with urea alone is 2.43 × 10^?3 at 60°C.

On the Thermal Decompositions of the Trivalent Trioxalato Complexes of Al, Cr, Mn, Fe and Co

The thermal decompositions of the complexes K₃[M(ox)₃]3H₂O(M=Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co; ox=C₂O₄^2–) were studied. Dehydration of the complexes occurs up to 200°C, this being a three-step process for M=Al, Cr, Mn and Co, and a two-step process for M=Fe. Decomposition of the dehydrated complexes proceeds in several steps. For M=Al, Cr and Fe, the decomposition takes place with the evolution of CO, whereas for M=Mn and Co the decomposition of the oxalate ligand yields solid C besides CO. The temperature of CO liberation decreases in the series Cr<Al<Co<Mn<Fe. For M=transition metal, this trend can be explained by the fact that the strength of the C—C bond in the oxalate ligand decreases in the series Cr<Co<Mn<Fe.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and molecular structures of heterometallic complexes [RC5H4Fe(CO)2]2 Sn(TePh)2 and their adducts with chromium and tungsten carbonyls or with trimethylplatinum iodide

Chemical transformations of a SiO2-supported [Fe5RhC(CO)16]− cluster and catalysis of propylene hydroformylation

Chemical transformations of SiO₂-supported [Fe₅RhC(CO)₁₆]^– and [Fe₄RhC(CO)₁₄]^– clusters in Ar, CO, and synthesis gas are studied by IR spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It is shown that partial transformation of the [Fe₅RhC(CO)₁₆]^– cluster to the [Fe₄RhC(CO)₁₄]^– cluster occurs immediately after its deposition on the substrate surface with the simultaneous formation of Fe²⁺ ions. The complete conversion of the supported [Fe₅RhC(CO)₁₆]^– cluster to [Fe₄RhC(CO)₁₄]^– is observed at 323 K in the synthesis gas. At 373 to 423 K [Fe₅RhC(CO)₁₆]^– transforms into a mixture of Fe₄Rh₂C(CO)₁₆, [Fe₄RhC(CO)₁₄]^–, and [Fe₅₃Rh₃C(CO)₁₅]^– clusters. In the 523 to 623 K range, the supported [Fe₅RhC(CO)₁₆]^– cluster decarbonylates completely to form bimetallic species Å 5 Å in size. Silica-supported FeRh clusters are active in propylene hydroformylation at 423 to 473 K and form a mixture of butyl alcohols and butyraldehydes.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Nanodispersed metal and metal oxide particles in polymeric matrices from polyacrylonitrile precursors

Two ways of the colloid formation of metals and metal oxides in the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and its copolymer (1.5 wt % of itaconic acid) (PAN-I) have been studied. The thermal decomposition of W, Mo and Cr carbonyl complexes with PAN, prepared by the interaction of PAN nitrile groups with VI B group metal hexacarbonyls has been investigated. The thermolysis under air leads to a formation of metal oxide particles. For the Cr-containing PAN, the presence of dispersed Cr₂O₃ with a size less than 3 nm was estimated by ESR. Co-containing polymers were prepared by mixing Co₂(CO)₈ with PAN-I in DMF. It was found that Co₂(CO)₈ interacts with DMF giving salt [Co(DMF)₆]²⁺[Co(CO)₄]-₂. By ferromagnetic resonance and SAXS, colloid size depends on thermolysis conditions and loading of the Co complex and varies from 1 to 10 nm.
