The singlet-triplet separations for the edge-sharing bioctahedral (ESBO) complex W₂(μ-H)(μ-Cl)(Cl₄(μ-dppm)₂ · (THF)₃ (II) has been studied by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy. The structural characterization of [W₂(μ-H)₂(μ-O₂CC₆H₅)₂Cl₂(P(C₆H₅)₃)₂] (I) by single-crystal X-ray crystallography has allowed the comparison of the energy of the HOMOLUMO separation determined using the Fenske-Hall method for a series of ESBO complexes with two hydride bridging atoms, two chloride bridging atoms and the mixed case with a chloride and hydride bridging atom. The complex representing the mixed case, [W₂(μ-H)(μ-Cl)Cl₄(μ-dppm)₂ · (THF)₃] (II), has been synthesized and the value of −2J determined from variable-temperature ³¹P NMR spectroscopy.     

Inorganic-organic hybrid compounds: hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of a new three-dimensional metal tetraphosphonate Mn[(HO3PCH2)N(H)(CH2)4(H)N(CH2PO3H)2]

The new manganese tetraphosphonate, Mn[(HO₃PCH₂)₂N(H)(CH₂)₄(H)N(CH₂PO₃)₂] (1) was hydrothermally synthesized from MnCl₂ and N,N,N′,N′-tetrametylphosphono-1,4-diaminobutane, (H₂O₃PCH₂)₂N-(CH₂)₄-N(CH₂PO₃H₂)₂. The structure was determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (Mn[(HO₃PCH₂)₂N(H)(CH₂)₄(H)N(CH₂PO₃)₂], monoclinic, P2₁/a, with a=9.6663(1), b=9.2249(2), c=10.5452(1) pm, β=105.676(1)°, V=905.35(3)×10⁶ pm, Z=2, R₁=0.051, wR₂=0.109 (all data). The structure contains the zwitter ions [(HO₃PCH₂)₂N(H)-(CH₂)₄-(H)N(CH₂PO₃)₂]²⁻ and is built from alternating corner-linked [MnO₆] and [PO₃C] polyhedra forming a two-dimensional net of eight-rings. These layers are connected to a pillared structure by the diaminobutane groups. Magnetic susceptibility data confirms the presence of Mn²⁺ ions. Thermogravimetric measurements show a stability of 1 up to ∼290°C. Between 290°C and 345°C a one-step loss of ∼7.0% is observed, and above 345°C the continuous decomposition of the organic part of the structures takes place.

Ligand behaviour of P-functionally substituted organotin halides: palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with Ph2PCH2CH2SnCl3

The P-functional organotin chloride Ph₂PCH₂CH₂SnCl₃ reacts with [(COD)MCl₂] and trans-[(Et₂S)₂MCl₂] (M=Pd, Pt) in molar ratio 1:1 to the zwitterionic complexes [(COD)M⁺(Cl)(PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn⁻Cl₄)] (1: M=Pd; 2: M=Pt) and trans-[(Et₂S)₂M⁺(Cl)(PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn⁻Cl₄)] (3: M=Pd; 4: M=Pt). The same reaction with [(COD)Pd(Cl)Me] yields under transfer of the methyl group from palladium to tin the complex [(COD)M⁺(Cl)(PPh₂CH₂CH₂Sn⁻MeCl₃)] (5) which changes in acetone into the dimeric adduct [Cl₂Pd(PPh₂CH₂CH₂SnMeCl₂·2Me₂CO)]₂ (6).

Electrochemical behaviour of [Ru(L)(CO)2Cl2] [Ru(L)(CO)Cl3][Me4N] and [Ru(L)(CO)2(CH3CN)2][CF3SO3]2 complexes (L = 2,2′- bipyridine or 4,4′-isopropoxycarbonyl-2,2′-bipyridine)

The clectrochemical behaviour of the complexes [Ru^II(L)(CO)₂Cl₂], [Ru^II(L)(CO)Cl₃][Me₄N] and [Ru^II(L)(CO)₂(CH₃CN)₂][CF₃SO₃]₂ (L = 2,2′-bipyridine or 4,4′-isopropoxycarbonyl-2,2′-bipyridine) has been investigated in CH₃CN. The oxidation of [Ru(L)(CO)₂Cl₂] produces new complexes [Ru^III(L)(CO)(CH₃CN)₂Cl]²⁺ as a consequence of the instability of the electrogenerated transient Ru^III species [Ru^III(L)(CO)₂Cl₂]⁺. In contrast, the oxidation of [Ru^II(L)(CO)Cl₃][Me₄N] produces the stable [Ru^III(L)(CO)Cl₃] complex. In contrast [Ru^II(L)(CO)₂(CH₃CN)₂][CF₃SO₃]₂ is not oxidized in the range up to the most positive potentials achievable. The reduction of [Ru^II(L)(CO)₂Cl₂] and [Ru^II(L)(CO)₂(CH₃CN)₂][CF₃SO₃]₂ results in the formation of identical dark blue strongly adherent electroactive films. These films exhibit the characteristics of a metal-metal bond dimer structure. No films are obtained on reduction of [Ru^II(L)(CO)Cl₃][Me₄N]. The effect of the substitution of the bipyridine ligand by electron-withdrawing carboxy ester groups on the electrochemical behaviour of all these complexes has also been investigated.     

Reactions of cisplatin hydrolytes, cis-[Pt(15NH3)2(H2O) 2]2+, with N-acetyl-L-cysteine

The reaction of cis-[Pt(¹⁵NH₃)2(H₂O) ₂] ²⁺ (3) with N-acetylcysteine [H₃accys] was investigated in aqueous solution. In this reaction, the ammine in the platinum complex formed was liberated. A mono-dentate sulfur-boundplatinum(II) product cis-[Pt(¹⁵NH₃)₂(H₂O)(H2accys-S)]⁺ (7) and six-membered che-late ring complex cis-[Pt(¹⁵NH₃)₂ (Haccys-S,O)] (8) were formed in solution.

The mass spectrometry (ES-MS) was undertaken from this re action, and the product detected was only the dinuclear sulfur bridged platinum species and species related to it by ammine loss.

[Ir(CO₂CH₂CH₂CMe)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂] and [Ir(CO₂CH₂CH₂OH)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂], respectively. In contrast the acetylenic alcohol HCCCH₂CH₂OH gives [Ir(CCCH₂CH₂OH)(CO)PPh₃)₂]. Some reactions of the new complexes are described.

The crystalline phases of I, II, and III (R-3, P2₁/c, and Pnnm space groups respectively) have the following crystallographic characteristics: a = 10.9804(2) ?, b = 10.9804(2) ?, c = 10.8224(3) ?, V = 1130.03(4) ?³, Z = 3, d _x = 1.65 g/cm³ (I); a = 9.6370(2) ?, b = 10.2452(2) ?, c = 13.2108(3) ?, V = 1932.90(9) ?³, Z = 2, d _x= 1.97 g/cm³ (II), and a = 11.7658(3) ?, b = 11.7254(3) ?, c = 14.1913(4) ?, V = 1304.34(5) ?³, Z = 2, d _x = 1.68 g/cm³ (III). This paper investigates the products of DCS thermolysis in a hydrogen atmosphere: the intermetallic compound CoFe with the bcc parameter a = 2.852 ? for I and a heterogeneous mixture of Co and Cu in the decomposition of II. The coordinated CN⁻ and C₂O₄²⁻ groups then turn into NH₃, hydrocarbons, and CO₂. The dominant hydrocarbon is methane.     

Reactions of Ru3(CO)12 with Ene-yne and Alkoxy-silyl Functionalized Compounds. The Crystal Structure of (μ-H)Ru3(CO)9[μ3-η2-HC=N(CH2)3Si(OEt)3]

Ru₃(CO)₁₂ has been reacted with the compounds hex-1-en-3-yne [EtC≡CCH=CH₂], 2-methyl-hex-1-en-3-yne [EtC≡CC(=CH₂)CH₃] and with 3(ethoxy-silyl)propyl isocyanate [(EtO)₃Si(CH₂)₃NCO] and the compound tb [(EtO)₃Si(CH₂)₃NHC(=O)OCH₂C≡CCH₂OC(=O)NH(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)₃] in hydrocarbon solution. Some reactions in CH₃OH/KOH solution (followed by acidification) have also been performed. The main products of the reactions with ene-ynes are the clusters Ru₃(CO)₆(μ-CO)₂L₂ (L = C₆H₈, C₇H₁₀) and their demolition products, the “ferrole” Ru₂(CO)₆L₂ complexes. One of the isomers of Ru₃(CO)₆(μ-CO)₂L₂, and Ru₂(CO)₆L₂ (L = C₇H₁₀) have been reacted with vinyl-triethoxysilane [(EtO)₃SiCH=CH₂]: these reactions did not afford complexes containing new carbon–carbon bonds or triethoxy-silyl groups. Only polymerization of vinyl-triethoxysilane occurred. The reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with triethoxysilyl-propyl-isocyanate and tb (in the presence of Me₃NO) lead to the same products, that is the isomeric complexes (μ-H)Ru₃(CO)₉[C=N(H)(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)₃] with a “perpendicular” ligand (complex 3, as proposed on the basis of spectroscopic results) and (μ-H)Ru₃(CO)₉[HC=N(CH₂)₃Si(OEt)₃] with a “parallel” ligand (complex 4, as confirmed by a X-ray analysis). The reaction pathways leading to these products are discussed. Complex 4 has been reacted with tetraethyl orthosilicate and the resulting material has been characterized. These reactions are part of a study on the synthesis of inorganic-organometallic materials through sol–gel techniques. This paper is dedicated to Prof. Gunther Schmid in the occasion of his 70th birthday.
