Synthesis and crystal structure of new one-dimensional copper(II) complex [Cu4(En)2(μ1,1-N3)4(μ1,1,1-N3)2(μ1,3-N3)2]n

A new polymer azido-bridged copper(II) complex [Cu₄(En)₂(μ_1,1-N₃)₄(μ_1,1,1-N₃)₂(μ_1,3-N₃)₂] _n (I) (En = ethylenediamine) has been synthesized and crystallography characterized. Complex I shows one-dimensional coordination polymeric structure based on a tetranuclear cluster unit [Cu₄(En)₂(μ_1,1-N₃)₄(μ_1,1,1-N₃)₂(μ_1,3-N₃)₂], in which the azido ions display three different bridging modes.     

Synthesis,structure characterization and thermal properties of [Zr6(μ3-O)4(μ3-OH)4(OOCCH2Bu)9(μ2-OH)3]2

Oxo/hydoxo zirconium(IV) complex of the general formula [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ has been isolated, when Zr(OⁱPr)₄ reacted with a 2-fold excess of 3,3-dimethylbutyric acid. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data, collected at 103 and 153 K, showed that the studied compound crystallizes in hexagonal system (P6₃/m (no. 176)). Structure consists of dimers composed of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉] sub-units, linked by six μ₂-OH bridges. Infrared spectroscopic studies proved the presence of hydroxo groups in the structure of studied clusters and formation of different types of oxo/hydroxo bridges. The application of variable temperature infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the structure of this complex undergoes the phase transitions at 143–183 and 203–293 K. Comparison of spectral and crystallographic data suggests that these phase transitions might be related to changes in the strength of Zr–O bonds of μ₂-OH bridges linking complex sub-units, and change in symmetry of the crystal lattice (from hexagonal to trigonal). Analysis of thermogravimetric data showed that decomposition of [Zr₆(μ₃-O)₄(μ₃-OH)₄(OOCCH₂^tBu)₉(μ₂-OH)₃]₂ proceeds with complete conversion to ZrO₂ (monoclinic form) between 603 and 803 K.     

Chemistry of vinylidene complexes. XVI. Crystal and molecular structure of the novel tetranuclear μ2-μ3-bis-vinylidene complex (η-dppe)PdMn(μ3-CCHPh)PdMn(μ-CCHPh)(CO)4Cp2

The crystal and molecular structure of the novel tetranuclear complex (η²-dppe)PdMn(μ₃-CCHPh)PdMn(μ-CCHPh)(CO)₄Cp₂ (5) has been investigated. The metal core of 5 is a bent chain Pd(2)-Mn(2)-Pd(1)-Mn(1). The bond distances and angles are Mn(1)-Pd(1) 2.6025(6), Pd(1)-Mn(2) 2.8913(5), Mn(2)-Pd(2) 2.6463(4) Å, Mn(1)-Pd(1)-Mn(2) 140.2(2)°, Pd(1)-Mn(2)-Pd(2) 69.6(1)°. Complex contains two bridging vinylidene ligands coordinated to metal atoms in different ways. The CC bond lengths are 1.347(4) and 1.372(4) Å in the μ₂(η¹,η¹)-CCHPh and μ₃(η¹,η¹,η²)-CCHPh ligands, respectively. The η²-dppe ligand is coordinated to the Pd(2) atom to form the chelate cycle. Each of Mn(1) and Mn(2) atoms is bonded with the η⁵-C₅H₅ ring and two CO groups.     

Two gold-ruthenium clusters derived from Ru3(μ-H)3(μ3-CBr)(CO)9

The reaction between AuMe(PPh₃) and Ru₃(μ-H)₃(μ₃-CBr)(CO)₉ (1) affords the novel heptanuclear cluster Au₄Ru₃(μ₃-CMe)(Br)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₃ (2), containing an Au/Ru₃/Au trigonal pyramidal cluster face-capped by two Au(PPh₃) groups and a CMe ligand, together with Au₂Ru₃(μ-H)(μ₃-CMe)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₂ (3), formed by isolobal replacement of two of the three μ-H atoms in 1 by Au(PPh₃) groups. The latter co-crystallises with the analogous μ₃-CH complex, as also shown spectroscopically.

Novel tetrahedral tetranickel cluster with alkylidyne ligand (NiCp)4(μ3-CR)

A novel tetrahedral (μ₃-alkylidyne)tetranickel cluster (NiCp)₄(μ₃-C(CH₂)₄CH₃) (4) was obtained in the reaction of nickelocene with potassium and 1-hexene. Compound 4 was characterised by means of MS and X-ray diffraction analysis. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and Pna2₁ (No. 33) space group. Unit cell dimensions: a = 28.406(6) Å, b = 8.928(2) Å, c = 9.541(2) Å; Z = 4. The compound possesses 63 valence electrons, three more than the expected “magic number” for such type of clusters, and three of the four nickel atoms do not fulfil the 18VE rule. It is paramagnetic with the magnetic moment 3.54 μ_B, what corresponds to three unpaired electrons per molecule. This was confirmed by molecular orbital calculations using the density functional theory (DFT).     

Crystal structure of [(C5Me4Et)3Rh3(μ3-Se)2](PF6)2CH3CN and [(C5Me4Et)2Rh2(μ2-Cl)3]PF6

Reactions of [(dtc)₂Mo₂(S)₂(μ-S)₂] with one or two equivalents of CuBr in CH₂Cl₂ afforded two new heterobimetallic sulfide clusters, [(dtc)₂Mo₂(μ₃-S)(μ-S)₃(CuBr)] (1) and [(dtc)₂Mo₂(μ₃-S)₄(CuBr)₂] (2). Both compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV-vis and X-ray analysis. Compound 1 contains a butterfly-shaped Mo₂S₄Cu core in which one CuBr unit is coordinated by one bridging S and two terminal S atoms of the [(dtc)₂Mo₂(S)₂(μ-S)₂] moiety. In the structure of 2, one [(dtc)₂Mo₂(S)₂(μ-S)₂] moiety and two CuBr units are held together by six Cu-μ₃-S bonds, forming a cubane-like Mo₂S₄Cu₂ core.     

Novel chromium trinuclear trifluoroacetate complexes Cr3(μ3-O)(CF3COO)6(CH3COOH)2(CF3COO) and Cr3(μ3-O)(CF3COO)6(CH3COOH)2(THF): Synthesis and crystal structure

Novel anhydrous trinuclear ₃-oxo complexes of Cr(III), Cr₃(₃-O)(CF₃COO)₆(CH₃COOH)₂(CF₃COO) (I) and of Cr(III,III,II), Cr₃(₃-O)(CF₃COO)₆(CH₃COOH)₂(THF) (II) (where THF is (CH₂)₄O) are synthesized by anodic dissolution of metallic chromium in solutions of trifluoroacetic acid in acetonitrile and in tetrahydrofuran and their structures are studied by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The average Cr-(₃-O) distances in compounds I and II are almost equal (1.943(3) and 1.927(3) ). An average length of the Cr-O bond in octahedral surrounding of metal atoms is different in complexes I and II (1.985(4) and 2.003(3) , respectively), which is specified by different oxidation states of the metal atom. The CrCr distances lie in an interval of 3.366(1)–3.337(1) .__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 4, 2005, pp. 266–272.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Glazunova, Boltalin, Troyanov.     

Unsymmetrical alkyne binding to a triruthenium centre: Oxidative-addition of diphenyl ditelluride to the furyne cluster [Ru3(CO)7(μ-H)(μ3-η-C4H2O){μ-P(C4H3O)2}(μ-dppm)]

Oxidative-addition of PhTe₂Ph to the furyne cluster [Ru₃(CO)₇(μ-H)(μ₃-η²-C₄H₂O){μ-P(C₄H₃O)₂}(μ-dppm)] (1) results in the isolation of four complexes; (i) the previously reported 54-electron cluster [Ru₃(CO)₆(μ₃-Te)₂(μ-TePh)₂(μ-dppm)] (5) which results from elimination of trifuryl phosphine, (ii) the furenyl cluster [Ru₃(CO)₅(μ-η²-C₄H₃O){μ-P(C₄H₃O)₂}(μ-TePh)₂(μ-dppm)] (6) which results from carbon-hydrogen bond formation and (iii) two new 50-electron complexes [Ru₃(CO)₅(μ-H)(μ₃-η²-C₄H₂O){μ-P(C₄H₃O)₂}(μ-TePh)₂(к²-dppm)] (7) and [Ru₃(CO)₄(μ-H){P(C₄H₃O)₃}(μ₃-η²-C₄H₂O){μ-P(C₄H₃O)₂}(μ-TePh)₂(к²-dppm)] (8) both containing unsymmetrical furyne ligands. The structures of all the new compounds have been unambiguously established by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Further reactivity studies have provided a clear understanding of the relative sequence of the key oxidative-addition and reductive-elimination processes, showing that 6 is an intermediate in the formation of 7. DFT calculations have been used to shed light on the unsymmetrical binding of the furyne ligand in 7 and also to show that the adopted position of the heteroatom within the furyne ring can vary within complexes of this type.     

[Zn10(μ4-S)(μ3-S)6(Py)9(SO4)3] as a molecular model of ZnS surfaces: an experimental and theoretical study

Experimental and theoretical results pertaining to [Zn₁₀(μ₄-S)(μ₃-S)₆(Py)₉(SO₄)₃], a possible molecular model of ZnS S-terminated polar surfaces, as well as a potential source of strictly monodispersed ZnS quantum dots, are presented and discussed. The results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations provided a rationale for the peculiar arrangement of [Zn₁₀(μ₄-S)(μ₃-S)₆(Py)₉(SO₄)₃] clusters in the solid state, contemporarily indicating the unsuitability of the isolated species to mimic whatever (polar or non-polar) ZnS surface. Despite the fact that such a failure is further confirmed by time-dependent DFT and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, the combined use of theoretical outcomes, DRIFT measurements, and literature data pertaining to the surface chemical properties of ZnS (Hertl in Langmuir 4:594, 1988) ultimately testifies that [Zn₁₀(μ₄-S)(μ₃-S)₆(Py)₉(SO₄)₃] is perfectly suited to model the interaction of pyridine molecules with ZnS surface Lewis acid sites. The herein reported theoretical results are expected to be a useful reference for the interpretation of chemisorption experiments of Py-based Lewis bases on single crystal ZnS surfaces.     

Carbon-carbon coupling on tetrahedral iridium clusters: X-ray molecular structures and multinuclear NMR studies of the two isomeric forms of [Ir4(CO)6(μ3-η-HCCPh)(μ2-η-C4H2Ph2)(μ-PPh2)2]

The reactions of [HIr₄(CO)₉(Ph₂PCCPh)(μ-PPh₂)] (1) or [Ir₄(CO)₈(μ₃-η²-HCCPh)(μ-PPh₂)₂] (2) with HCCPh gave two isomeric forms of [Ir₄(CO)₆(μ₃-η²-HCCPh)(μ₂-η⁴-C₄H₂Ph₂)(μ-PPh₂)₂] (3 and 4) in good yields as the only products. These compounds were characterized with analytical and spectroscopic data including ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR (1 and 2D) spectroscopy and their molecular structures were established by X-ray diffraction studies. Compounds 3 and 4 exhibit the same distorted butterfly metal polyhedral arrangement of metal atoms with two μ-PPh₂ that occupy different positions in the structures of the two isomers. Both molecules contain a HCCPh ligand bonded in a μ₃-η²-// mode to one of the wings of the butterfly and a metallacyclic ring, which resulted from head-to-tail coupling, in the case of [Ir₄(CO)₆(μ₃-η²-HCCPh){μ₂-η⁴-(H)CC(Ph)C(H)C(Ph)}(μ-PPh₂)₂] (3) and tail-to-tail coupling, in that of [Ir₄(CO)₆(μ₃-η²-HCCPh){μ₂-η⁴-(H)CC(Ph)C(Ph)C(H)}(μ-PPh₂)₂] (4), and which is linked to two metal atoms of the second wing of the butterfly.

The compound [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-Cl)(μ-AuPPh₃)] (2) was prepared from the reaction between [Os₃(CO)₁₀(NCMe)₂] (1) and [AuClPPh₃] under mild conditions. The reaction of 2 with 4-mercaptopyridine (4-pyS) ligand yielded compounds [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-H)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (4), formed by isolobal replacement of the fragment [AuPPh₃]⁺ by H⁺ and [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-AuPPh₃)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (5). [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-H)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (4) was also obtained by substitution of two acetonitrile ligands in the activated cluster 1 by 4-pyS, at room temperature in dichloromethane. Compounds 2-5 were characterized spectroscopically and the molecular structures of 4 and 5 in the solid state were obtained by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.

Preparation and reactivity of the heterobimetallic ReIr face-shared bioctahedral compounds Cp*Ir(μ-Cl)3Re(CO)3 and Cp*Ir(μ-SC6H4Me-4)3Re(CO)3: X-ray diffraction structures and redox behavior

Thermolysis of the dinuclear compound [Cp*IrCl₂]₂ (1) with ClRe(CO)₅ (2) leads to the formation of the confacial bioctahedral compound Cp*Ir(μ-Cl)₃Re(CO)₃ (3) in high yield. Whereas the substitution of the chloride ligands in 3 is observed on treatment with excess p-methylbenzenethiol to furnish the sulfido-bridged compound Cp*Ir(μ-SC₆H₄Me-4)₃Re(CO)₃ (4), 3 undergoes fragmentation upon reaction with tertiary phosphines [PPh₃ and P(OMe)₃] to furnish the mononuclear compounds Cp*IrCl₂P and fac-ClRe(CO)₃P₂. Both 3 and 4 have been isolated and fully characterized in solution by IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopies, and their solid-state structures have been established by X-ray crystallography. The redox properties of 3 and 4 have been explored by cyclic voltammetry, and the results are discussed relative to extended Hückel MO calculations.

Thiolate-bridged heterometallic complexes of manganese and platinum: Synthesis and molecular structures of (CO)4Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)2, (CO)3(PPh3)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(CO), and (CO)3Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(Dppm)

A reaction of the dimer [Mn(CO)₄(SPh)]₂ with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) gave the heterometallic complex (CO)₄Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)₂ (I) and its isomer (CO)₃(PPh₃)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(CO) (II). A reaction of complex I with a diphosphine ligand (Dppm) yielded the heterometallic complex (CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(Dppm) (III). Complexes I–III were characterized by X-ray diffraction. In complex I, the single Mn-Pt bond (2.6946(3) ?) is supplemented with a thiolate bridge with the shortened Pt-S and Mn-S bonds (2.3129(5) and 2.2900(6) ?, respectively). Unlike complex I, in complex II, one phosphine group at the Pt atom is exchanged for one CO group at the Mn atom. The Mn-Pt bond (2.633(1) ?) and the thiolate bridge (Pt-S, 2.332(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.291(2) ?) are retained. In complex III, the Mn-Pt bond (2.623(1) ?) is supplemented with thiolate (Pt-S, 2.341(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.292(2) 0?) and Dppm bridges (Pt-P, 2.240(1)?; Mn-P, 2.245(2) ?). Apparently, the Pt atom in complexes I–III is attached to the formally double bond , as in Pt complexes with olefins.     

A comparative study of the reactivity of unsaturated triosmium clusters [Os3(CO)8{μ3-Ph2PCH2P(Ph)C6H4}(μ-H)] and [Os3(CO)9{μ3-η-C7H3(2-Me)NS}(μ-H)] with BuNC

Treatment of unsaturated [Os₃(CO)₈{μ₃-Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)C₆H₄}(μ-H)] (2) with ^tBuNC at room temperature gives [Os₃(CO)₈(CNBu^t)){μ₃-Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)C₆H₄}(μ-H)] (3) which on thermolysis in refluxing toluene furnishes [Os₃(CO)₇(CNBu^t){μ₃-Ph₂PCHP(Ph)C₆H₄}(μ-H)₂] (4). Reaction of the labile complex [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-dppm)(NCMe)] (5) with ^tBuNC at room temperature affords the substitution product [Os₃(CO)₉(μ-dppm)(CNBu^t)] (6). Thermolysis of 6 in refluxing toluene gives 4. On the other hand, the reaction of unsaturated [Os₃(CO)₉{μ₃-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS}(μ-H)] (7) with ^tBuNC yields the addition product [Os₃(CO)₉(CNBu^t){μ-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS}(μ-H)] (8) which on decarbonylation in refluxing toluene gives unsaturated [Os₃(CO)₈(CNBu^t){μ₃-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS}(μ-H)] (9). Compound 9 reacts with PPh₃ at room temperature to give the adduct [Os₃(CO)₈(PPh₃)(CNBu^t){μ-η²-C₇H₃(2-Me)NS(μ-H)] (10). Compound 8 exists as two isomers in solution whereas 10 occurs in four isomeric forms. The molecular structures of 3, 6, 8, and 10 have been determined by X-ray diffraction studies.
