LnCl₃ (Ln=Nd, Gd) reacts with C₅H₉C₅H₄Na (or K₂C₈H₈) in THF (C₅H₉C₅H₄ = cyclopentylcyclopentadienyl) in the ratio of 1 : to give (C₅H₉C₅H₄)LnCl₂(THF)_n (orC₈H₈)LnCl₂(THF)_n], which further reacts with K₂C₈H₈ (or C₅H₉C₅H₄Na) in THF to form the litle complexes. If Ln=Nd the complex (C₈H₈)Nd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (a) was obtained: when Ln=Gd the 1 : 1 complex [(C₈H₈)Gd(C_%H₉)(THF)][(C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉H₄)(THF)₂] (b) was obtained in crystalline form.

The crystal structure analysis shows that in (C₈H₈)Ln(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF)₂ (Ln=Nd or Gd), the Cyclopentylcyclopentadieny (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and two oxygen atoms from THF are coordinated to Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺) with coordination number 10.

The centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring (Cp′) in C₅H₉C₅H₄ group, cyclooctatetraenyl centroid (COTL) and two oxygens (THF) form a twisted tetrahedron around Nd³⁺ (or Gd³⁺). In (C₈H₈)Gd(C₅H₉C₅H₄)(THF), the cyclopentyl-cyclopentadienyl (η⁵), cyclooctatetraenyl (η⁸) and one oxygen atom are coordinated to Gd³⁺ with the coordination number of 9 and Cp′, COT and oxygen atom form a triangular plane around Gd³⁺, which is almost in the plane (dev. -0.0144 Å).     

New ferrocenyl heterometallic complexes of 2,7-diethynylfluoren-9-one

A new series of rigid-rod alkynylferrocenyl precursors with central fluoren-9-one bridge, 2-bromo-7-(2-ferrocenylethynyl)fluoren-9-one (1b), 2-trimethylsilylethynyl-7-(2-ferrocenylethynyl)fluoren-9-one (2) and 2-ethynyl-7-(2-ferrocenylethynyl)fluoren-9-one (3), have been prepared in moderate to good yields. The ferrocenylacetylene complex 3 can provide a direct access to novel heterometallic complexes, trans-[(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄)CCRCCPt(PEt₃)₂Ph] (4), trans-[(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄)CCRCCPt(PBu₃)₂CCRCC(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)] (5), [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄)CCRCCAu(PPh₃)] (6) and [(η⁵-C₅H₅)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄)CCRCCHgMe] (7) (R=fluoren-9-one-2,7-diyl), following the CuI-catalyzed dehydrohalogenation reactions with the appropriate metal chloride compounds. All the new complexes have been characterized by FTIR, ¹H-NMR and UV–vis spectroscopies and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The solid state molecular structures of 3, 5, 6 and 7 have been established by X-ray crystallography. The redox chemistry of these mixed-metal species has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and oxidation of the ferrocenyl moiety is facilitated by the presence of the heavy metal centre and increased conjugation in the chain through the ethynyl and fluorenone linkage units.     

SYNTHESIS of(η~5-C_9H_7)Ln(η~8-C_8H_8)·2THF AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF(η~5-C_9H_7)Pr(η~8-C_8H_8)·2THF

Stabile Bis(η-alkin)MCl2-komplexe; Darstellung und reaktivität

The synthesis and reactivity of {(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CCSiMe₃)₂} MCl₂ (M = Fe: 3a; M = Co: 3b; M = Ni: 3c) is described. The complexes 3 are accessible by the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃) ₂Ti(CSiMe₃)₂ (1) with equimolar amounts of MCl₂ (2) (M = Fe, Co, Ni). 3a reacts with the organic chelat ligands 2,2′-dipyridyl (dipy) (4a) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) (4b) in THF at 25°C to afford in quantitative yields (η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CSiMe₃)₂ (1) and [Fe(dipy)₂]Cl₂ (5a) or [Fe(phen)₂]Cl₂ (5b). 1/n[Cu^IHal]_n (6) or 1/n[Ag^IHal]_n (7) (Hal = Cl, Br) react with {(η⁵ -C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CCSiMe₃)₂}FeCl₂ (3a), by replacement of the FeCl₂ building block in 3a, to yield the compounds {(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(C CSiMe₃)₂}Cu^IHal (8) or {(η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂Ti(CSiMe₃)₂}Ag^IHal (9) (Hal = Cl, Br), respectively. In 8 and 9 each of the two Me₃SiCC-units is η²-coordinated to monomeric Cu^I Hal or Ag^IHal moieties. Compounds 8 and 9 can also be synthesized by the reaction of (η⁵-C₅H₄SiMe₃)₂ Ti(CSiMe₃)₂ (1) with 1/n[Cu^IHal]_n (6) or 1/n [Ag^IHal]_n (7) in excellent yields. All new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic data (IR, ¹H-NMR, MS). The magnetic moments of compounds 3 were measured.     

Synthesis and properties of alkyldicyclopentadienyl-vanadium(III) compounds

The compounds Cp₂VR (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₃H₇, n-C₄H₉, n-C₅H₁₁, CH₂C(CH₃)₃ or CH₂Si(CH₃)₃) have been prepared from Cp₂ VCl and RMgX in n-pentane. The air-sensitive compounds are stable at room temperature, but decompose between 65 and 138°C. The thermal stability decreases in the order R = CH₃ CH₂Si(CH₃)₃ > C₂H₅ > CH₂C(CH₃)₃ > n-C₅H₁₁ > n-C₄H₉ > n-C₃H₇. Compounds with R = i-C₃H₇ or t-C₄H₉ could not be obtained.     

Silsesquioxane Chemistry, 4.: Silsesquioxane Complexes of Titanium(III) and Titanium(IV)

Reaction of the incompletely condensed silsesquioxane derivative Cy₇Si₇O₉(OH)₃ (1) with Ti(OEt)₄ affords the dimeric titanasilsesquioxane [(Cy₇Si₇O₁₂)Ti(μ-OEt)(EtOH)]₂ (13) in 81% yield. The known titanasilsesquioxane [Cy₇Si₇O₁₁(OSiMe₃)]₂Ti (18) has been prepared through a modified procedure starting from titanium tetraalkoxides. Novel oxotitanium silsesquioxane derivatives are obtained from reactions of titanocene dihalides with Cy₇Si₇O₉(OH)₂(OSiMe₃) (14). Cp₂TiCl₂ yields dinuclear (μ-O)[{Cy₇Si₇O₁₁(OSiMe₃)}TiCp]₂ (19), while with Cp^*₂TiCl₂ the trinuclear titanacycle Cp^*₂Ti₃O₃[Cy₇Si₇O₁₁(OSiMe₃)]₂ (20) is obtained. In addition, a new synthetic route to model compounds for titanium catalysts immobilized on silica has been developed. Disilylated Cy₇Si₇O₉(OH)(OSiMe₃)₂ (15) cleanly reacts with the ‘tucked-in’ fulvene complex Cp*Ti(C₅Me₄CH₂) to give the titanium(III) silsesquioxane Cp*₂Ti[Cy₇Si₇O₁₀(OSiMe₃)₂] (21). In a similar manner treatment of Cp*Ti(C₅Me₄CH₂) with Cy₇Si₇O₉(OH)₂(OSiMe₃) (14) affords the mono(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) complex Cp*Ti[Cy₇Si₇O₁₁(OSiMe₃)][Cy₇Si₇O₁₀-(OH)(OSiMe₃)] (22) which is an advanced model compound for a catalytically active titanium center on a silica surface. The molecular structures of these titanium silsesquioxane derivatives have been determined by X-ray diffraction analyses.     

Linked amido-indenyl complexes of titanium

Titanium complexes Ti(η⁵ : η¹-C₉H₆SiMe₂NCMe₃)X₂(X = Cl, Me, CH₂SiMe₃, CH₂Ph) containing the tert-amino-functionalized indenyl ligand C₉H₆SiMe₃NCMe₃ have been synthesized by the reaction of the dilithium derivative Li₂[C₉H₆SiMe₂NCMe₃ ] with TiCl₃ (THF)₃ followed by oxidation or by the alkylation of the dichloro derivative. Unexpectedly, the reaction of C₉H₆(SiMe₃)(SiMe₂Cl) with TiCl₄ does not give Ti(η⁵-C₉H₆SiMe₂Cl)Cl₃.     

Synthesis and structures of heterobimetallic Ir2M (M=Pd, Pt) sulfido clusters and their catalytic activity for regioselective addition of alcohols to internal 1-aryl-1-alkynes

The heterobimetallic trinuclear sulfido clusters [(Cp*Ir)₂(μ₃-S)₂MCl₂] (M=Pd (3), Pt (4); Cp*=η⁵-C₅Me₅) were synthesized from the dinuclear hydrogensulfido complex [Cp*IrCl(μ-SH)₂IrCp*Cl] (2) and [MCl₂(COD)] (COD=cycloocta-1,5-diene), while the reaction of 2 with [Pd(PPh₃)₄] afforded the cationic trinuclear cluster [(Cp*Ir)₂(μ₃-S)₂PdCl(PPh₃)]Cl (5). Clusters 3 and 4 reacted with PPh₃ to give a series of mono and dicationic clusters including 5, while the dicationic clusters [(Cp*Ir)₂(μ₃-S)₂M(dppe)][BPh₄]₂ (M=Pd (9), Pt (10); DPPE=Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) were obtained by the reaction with dppe followed by anion metathesis. The molecular structures of 5·CH₂Cl₂, 9·CH₃COCH₃, and 10·CH₃COCH₃ were determined by X-ray crystallography. Clusters 3 and 4 were found to catalyze the addition of alcohols to alkynes to give the corresponding acetals. Internal 1-aryl-1-alkynes were transformed by cluster 3 into the corresponding 2,2-dialkoxy-1-arylalkanes with high regioselectivity up to 99:1, while cluster 4 was a much less regioselective catalyst.     

Indenyl complexes of ruthenium(II) containing optically active diphosphines. X-ray structures of (S,S)-(η-C9H7)-Ru{Ph2PCH(CH3)CH(CH3)PPh2}Cl and of its η-C5H5 analogue

The optically active indenyl complexes ((η⁵-C₉H₇)Ru(L---L)Cl (where L---L is either (S,S)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-ethanediylbis(diphenylphosphine) (chiraphos) or (R,R)-1,2-cyclopentanediylbis(diphenylphosphine) (cypenphos)) have been synthesized and spectroscopically characterized and compared with the corresponding cyclopentadienyl complexes. Reaction of the new complexes with 2-e-donors give cationic adducts in which the pentahaptocoordination of the indenyl ligand is maintained. The crystal structures of (S,S)-(η⁵-C₉H₇)Ru{Ph₂PCH(CH₃)CH(CH₃)PPh₂}Cl (1) and (S,S)-η⁵-C₅H₅Ru{Ph₂PCH(CH₃)CH(CH₃)PPh₂}Cl (3) have been determined.     

Comparison of sulphur and sulphur–oxygen ligands as ionophores for liquid–liquid extraction and facilitated transport of silver and palladium

The reactivity of new ligands described as S₁, S₅, S₂O₉ (in respect to character and amount of donors) towards metal ions was examined by extraction from HNO₃ and HCl media. These ligands were next utilised as carriers for Ag and Pd transport through a supported liquid membrane (SLM). The effect of collecting a greater number of S donors in one molecule and the influence of type of donors (O–S versus S) on efficiency and selectivity of Ag and Pd(II) extraction and transport were examined.

The extraction of Ag from HNO₃ solutions increased with increasing amount of S-donors in one molecule (S₁2O₉5). For palladium the sequence was different (S₅12O₉). The transport of Ag through SLM impregnated with m-chlorotoluene solution of ionophore increased in the same order as in the case of extraction, whereas for Pd the row was different: S₅2O₉1. The highest fluxes of Ag and Pd transported from HNO₃ equalled to 5.25×10⁻⁷ and 1.37×10⁻⁷ mol/m² s, respectively. Palladium flux depended on stripping solution type (Na₂S₂O₃相似文献   

A convenient synthesis of Fe(CO)2(η-S2CNMe2)2 and Fe(η-S2CNMe2)2 from the monodentate dithiocarbamato derivative, [(η-C5H5)(CO)3W(η-SCSNMe2)] and Fe2(CO)9

A high yield synthesis of the carbonyl dithiocarbamato derivative Fe(CO)₂(η²-S₂CNMe₂)₂ and Fe(η²-S₂CNMe₂)₂ by photolysis with visible light of solutions containing Fe₂(CO)₉ or Fe₃(CO)₁₂ and [(η⁵-C₅H₅)(CO)₃W(η¹-SCSNMe₂)] is reported.     

Copper thioether chemistry: The synthesis and single crystal X-ray structures of [Cu2([18]aneS6)(NCMe)2](ClO4)2 and [Cu([9]aneS3)(AsPPh3)](ClO4)

Reaction of [18]aneS₆ with two molar equivalents of [Cu(NCMe)₄](ClO₄) in CH₂Cl₂-MeCN affords the binuclear copper(I) complex [Cu₂([18]aneS₆)(NCMe)₂](ClO₄)₂. The single crystal X-ray structure of the complex shows a centrosymmetric cation with two tetrahedral copper(I) centres each coordinated to three thioether S-donors of [18]aneS₆,Cu---S(1) = 2.3200(15), Cu---S(4) = 2.3415(16), Cu---S(7) = 2.3250(15) Å, and to one MeCN molecule, Cu---N(1) = 1.939(5) Å, to give an overall NS₃-donation at the metal centres. Additionally, S(7′) shows a long-range interaction, Cu …S(7′) = 3.318(2) Å thus distorting the coordination geometry of the metal ion towards trigonal bipyramidal. The metal-metal separation of 4.428(2) Å suggests that there is no significant interaction between the copper centres of the dimer. Reaction of [9]aneS₃ with one molar equivalent of [Cu(NCMe)₄](ClO₄) in refluxing MeCN in the presence of ligands, L, affords the adducts [Cu([9]aneS₃)L]⁺ (L = PPh₃, AsPh₃). The single crystal X-ray structure of the complex [Cu([9]aneS₃)(AsPh₃)](ClO₄) shows tetrahedral AsS₃ coordination at copper(I) with [9]aneS₃ bound facially to the metal centre, Cu---S = 2.303(6), Cu---As = 2.322(4) Å.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of the complex [MoW(OEt)(μ-CH2){μ-C(C6H4Me-4)C(Me)O}(η-C7H7)(η-C2B9H10Me)]

The complex [MoW(μ-CC₆H₄Me-4)(CO)₂(η⁷-C₇H₇)(η⁵-C₂B₉H₁₀Me)] reacts with diazomethane in Et₂O containing EtOH to afford the dimetal compound [MoW(OEt)(μ-CH₂){μ-C(C₆H₄Me-4)C(Me)O}(η⁷-C₇H₇)(η⁵-C₂B₉H₁₀Me)]. The structure of this product was established by X-ray diffraction. The Mo---W bond [2.778(4) Å] is bridged by a CH₂ group [μ-C---Mo 2.14(3), μ-C---W 2.02(3) Å] and by a C(C₆H₄Me-4)C(Me)O fragment [Mo---O 2.11(3), W---O 2.18(2), Mo---C(C₆H₄Me-4) 2.41(3), W---C(C₆H₄Me-4) 2.09(3), Mo---C(Me) 2.26(3) Å]. The molybdenum atom is η⁷-coordinated by the C₇H₇ ring and the tungsten atom is η⁵-coordinated by the open pentagonal face of the nido-icosahedral C₂B₉H₁₀Me cage. The tungsten atom also carries a terminally bound OEt group [W---O 1.88(3) Å]. The ¹H and ¹³C-{¹H} NMR data for the dimetal compound are reported and discussed.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of the novel trimanganese tetrathiolate incomplete cubane: [Mo(η-C5H5)2(H)CO][Mn3(CO)9(μ-SC6H5)4]

An unexpected trimanganese(I) tetrathiolate-bridged complex, [Mn₃(CO)₉(μ-SC₆H₅)₄]⁻, with an incomplete cubane structure, was obtained by thermal reaction of [Mn₂(CO)₁₀] with [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂(SC₆H₅)₂]. The structure, established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, shows the cation, [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂(H)CO]⁺, directed towards the vacant site of the cubane structure. Possible routes by which the anion and the cation could be formed are discussed.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of 7-deaza cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose analogues, membrane-permeant modulators of intracellular calcium release

An optimized synthetic route to 7-deaza-8-bromo-cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (7-deaza-8-bromo-cADPR 3), an established cell-permeant, hydrolysis-resistant cyclic adenosine 5'-diphosphate ribose (cADPR) antagonist, is presented. Using NMR analysis, we found that 3 adopted a C-2' endo conformation in the N9-linked ribose and a syn conformation about the N9-glycosyl linkage, which are similar to that of cADPR. The synthetic route was also employed to produce 7-deaza-2'-deoxy-cADPR 4, a potential cell-permeant cADPR analogue. 3 and 4 were more stable to chemical hydrolysis, consistent with the observation that 7-deaza-cADPR analogues are more stable than their parent adenosine derivatives. 3 was also found to be stable to enzyme-mediated hydrolysis using CD38 ectoenzyme.     

Another example of carborane based trianionic ligand: Syntheses and catalytic activities of cyclohexylamino tailed ortho-carboranyl zirconium and titanium dicarbollides

In situ reaction of Li[closo-1-Ph-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀] with 7-azabicyclo [4.1.0] heptane results in the formation of the disubstituted carborane, closo-1-Ph-2-(2′-aminocyclohexyl)-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀ (1), in 63% yield. Decapitation of (1) with potassium hydroxide in refluxing ethanol produces the cage-opened nido-carborane, K[nido-7-Ph-8-(2′-aminocyclohexyl)-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₀]⁻ (2), in 80% yield. Deprotonation of the above monoanion with two equivalents of n-butyllithium followed by reaction with anhydrous MCl₄ · 2THF (M = Zr, Ti) provides d⁰-half-sandwich metallocarboranes, closo-1-M(Cl)-2-Ph-3-(2′-σ-(H)N-cyclohexyl)-2,3-η⁵-C₂B₉H₉ (3 M = Zr; 4 M = Ti) in 53% and 42% yields, respectively. The reaction of Li[closo-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₁] with 7-azabicyclo [4.1.0] heptane in THF affords closo-1-(2′-aminocyclohexyl)-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀ (5) in 59% yield. Immobilization of the carboranyl amino ligand (1) to an organic support, Merrifield’s peptide resin (1%), has been achieved by the reaction of the sodium salt of (5) with polystyryl chloride in THF to produce closo-1-(2′-aminocyclohexyl)-2-polystyryl-1,2-C₂B₁₀H₁₀ (6) in 87% yield. Further reaction of the dianion derived from (6) with anhydrous ZrCl₄ · 2THF led to the formation of the organic polystyryl supported d⁰-half-sandwich metallocarborane, closo-1-Zr(Cl)-2-(2′-σ-(H)N-cyclohexyl)-3-polystyryl-2,3-η⁵-C₂B₉H₉ (7), in 38% yield. These new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, NMR, and IR spectra. Polymerizations of both ethylene and vinyl chloride with (3) and (7) have been performed in toluene using MMAO-7 (13% ISOPAR-E) as the co-catalyst. Molecular weights up to 32.8 × 10³ (M_w/M_n = 1.8) and 9.5 × 10³ (M_w/M_n = 2.1) were obtained for PE and PVC, respectively.     

Synthesis and structural characterisation of cobalt(II) and iron(II) chloride complexes containing bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine ligands

Treatment of (2-C₅H₄N)CH_{2 3}N (TPA) with one equivalent of MCl₂ in n-BuOH at elevated temperatures affords the six-coordinate complexes [(TPA)MCl₂] (M = Co (1), Fe (2)) and, in the case of CoCl₂, the five-coordinate chloride salt [(TPA)CoCl]Cl (3). Conversely, addition of an excess of CoCl₂ in the latter reaction leads to [(TPA)CoCl]₂[CoCl₄] (4) as the only isolable product. Interaction of one equivalent of (2-C₅H₄N)CH_{2 2}NH (DPA) and MCl₂ under similar reaction conditions to that described above affords the dimeric species [(fac-DPA)MCl(μ-Cl)]₂ (M = Co (5), Fe (6)), while the bis(ligand) halide salts [(fac-DPA)₂M]Cl₂ (M = Co (7), Fe (8)) are accessible on addition of two equivalents of DPA. In the presence of air, 6 undergoes oxidation to give [ (fac-DPA)FeCl_{2 2}(μ-O)] (9). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies are reported for 1, 2 · MeCN, 3, , 7 · 3MeCN, 8 · 3MeCN and 9.     

Preparation and characterization of ruthenium(II), rhodium(III) and iridium(III) complexes of isocyanide bearing the azo group

Reactions of [(η⁶-arene)RuCl₂]₂ (1) (η⁶-arene=p-cymene (1a), 1,3,5-Me₃C₆H₃ (1b), 1,2,3-Me₃C₆H₃ (1c) 1,2,3,4-Me₄C₆H₂(1d), 1,2,3,5-Me₄C₆H₂ (1e) and C₆Me₆ (1f)) or [Cp*MCl₂]₂ (M=Rh (2), Ir (3); Cp*=C₅Me₅) with 4-isocyanoazobenzene (RNC) and 4,4′-diisocyanoazobenzene (CN–R–NC) gave mononuclear and dinuclear complexes, [(η⁶-arene)Ru(CNC₆H₄N=NC₆H₅)Cl₂] (4a–f), [Cp*M(CNC₆H₄N=NC₆H₅)Cl₂] (5: M=Rh; 6: M=Ir)_, [{(η⁶-arene)RuCl₂}₂{μ-CNC₆H₄N=NC₆H₄NC}] (8a–f) and [(Cp*MCl₂)₂(μ-CNC₆H₄N=NC₆H₄NC)}] (9: M=Rh; 10: M=Ir)_, respectively. It was confirmed by X-ray analyses of 4a and 5 that these complexes have trans-forms for the ---N=N--- moieties. Reaction of [Cp*Rh(dppf)(MeCN)](PF₆)₂ (dppf=1,1′-bis (diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) with 4-isocyanoazobenzene gave [Cp*Rh(dppf)(CNC₆H₄N=NC₆H₅)](PF₆)₂ (7), confirmed by X-ray analysis. Complex 8b reacted with Ag(CF₃SO₃), giving a rectangular tetranuclear complex 11b, [{(η⁶-1,3,5-Me₃C₆H₃)Ru(μ-Cl}₄(μ-CNC₆H₄N=NC₆H₄NC)₂](CF₃SO₃)₄ bridged by four Cl atoms and two μ-diisocyanoazobenzene ligands. Photochemical reactions of the ruthenium complexes (4 and 8) led to the decomposition of the complexes, whereas those of 5, 7, 9 and 10 underwent a trans-to-cis isomerization. In the electrochemical reactions the reductive waves about −1.50 V for 4 and −1.44 V for 8 are due to the reduction of azo group, [---N=N---]→[---N=N---]²⁻. The irreversible oxidative waves at ca. 0.87 V for the 4 and at ca. 0.85 V for 8 came from the oxidation of Ru(II)→Ru(III).
