Reaction of tetraphosphine complex [Mo(κ⁴‐P4)(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)] (1; P4 = meso‐o‐C₆H₄‐(PPhCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂) with E‐1,3‐pentadiene in toluene at 60 °C gave the η⁴‐diene complex [Mo(η⁴‐E‐1,3‐pentadiene)(κ⁴‐P4)] (2), which is present as a mixture of two isomers due to the orientation of the Me group in the diene ligand. Treatment of 1 with Z‐1,3‐pentadien also resulted in the formation of 2 as the sole product after heating the reaction mixture at 90 °C. Whereas the reaction of 1 with 1,3‐cyclohexadiene at 60 °C afforded the η⁴‐diene complex [Mo(η⁴‐cyclohexadiene)(κ⁴‐P4)] (6), that with cyclopentadiene led to the C‐H bond scission product [η⁵‐C₅H₅)MoH(κ³‐P4)] (7). Detailed structures were determined by X‐ray crystallography for 2, 6,and 7, and fluxional feature of 6 in solution was clarified based on the VT‐NMR studies.

(Carbonyl)Iron‐Selenolates: New Synthetic Methods and Reactions with Electrophiles. Crystal Structures of [(CO)6Fe2(μ‐SeR)2]; R = Me3SiCH2 and p‐O2NC6H4CH2, {(CO)6Fe2[μ‐η2‐Se,Se′‐o‐(SeCH2C6H4CH2Se)]}, and [(CO)6Fe2(μ‐SeFe(CO)2cp)2]

The reactions of Fe(CO)₅ or Fe₃(CO)₁₂ with NaBEt₃H or KB[CH(CH₃)C₂H₅]₃H, respectively and treatment of the resulting carbonylates M₂Fe(CO)₄, M = Na, K with elemental selenium in appropriate ratios lead to the formation of M₂[Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐Se)₂]. Subsequent reactions with organo halides or the complex fragment cpFe(CO)₂⁺, cp = η⁵‐C₅H₅ afforded the selenolato complexes [Fe₂(CO)₆(μ‐SeR)₂], R = CH₂SiMe₃ ( 1 ), CH₂Ph ( 2 ), p‐CH₂C₆H₄NO₂ ( 3 ), o‐CH₂C₆H₄CH₂ ( 4 ) and cpFe(CO)₂⁺ ( 5 ) in moderate to good yields. A similar reaction employing Ru₃(CO)₁₂, Se and p‐O₂NC₆H₄CH₂Br leads to the formation of the corresponding organic diselenide. The X‐ray structures of 1 , 3 , 4 and 5 were determined and revealed butterfly structures of the Fe₂Se₂ cores. The substituents in 1 , 3  and 5 adopt different conformations depending on their steric demand. In 4 , the conformation is fixed because of the chelate effect of the ligand. The Fe–Se bond lengths lie in the range 235 to 240 pm, with corresponding Fe–Fe bond lengths of 254 to 256 pm. The ⁷⁷Se NMR data of the new complexes are discussed and compared with the corresponding data of related complexes.

With 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethylene, 1,1′‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene and 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethane dinuclear ligand bridged complexes are obtained. The η³‐η¹ conversion of the allyl ligand occurs on reaction of (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₄ with the bidendate ligands 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane and 1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and with 2,2′‐bipyridine (L–L) which gives the complexes (η¹‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₃(L–L). By reaction of (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₄ with bis(diphenylphosphino)methane the allyl group is protonated and under elemination of propene the complex (OC)₃Re(Ph₂PCHPPh₂)(η¹‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) ( 19 ) with a diphosphinomethanide ligand is formed. On heating solutions of (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₄ and (η³‐C₃H₅)Re(CO)₃(CN‐2,5‐Me₂C₆H₃) ( 5 ) in methanol the methoxy bridged compounds Re₄(CO)₁₂(OH)(OMe)₃ and Re₂(CO)₄(CN‐2,5‐Me₂C₆H₃)₄(μ‐OMe)₂ ( 20 ) were isolated.

Preparation of new (η5-C5H4CH3)Mn(NO)(PPh3) and (η7-C7H7)Mo(CO)-(PPh3) complexes

The complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I has been prepared by the reaction of NaI with [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)(PPh₃)]⁺ and also by the reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ with NaI followed by PPh₃. This iodide compound reacts with NaCN to yield (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)CN which is ethylated by [(C₂H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)(CNC₂H₅)]⁺. Both [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ and [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)(CO)]⁺ react with NaCN to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CN)₂]^?. This anion reacts with Ph₃SnCl to yield cis-(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CN)₂SnPh₃ and with [(C₂-H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CNC₂H₅)₂]⁺. The reaction of (η⁵-C₅-H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I with AgBF₄ in acetonitrile yields [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn-(NO)(PPh₃)(NCCH₃)]⁺. The complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)I, produced in the reaction of [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(CO)₂]⁺ with NaI, is not stable and decomposes to the dimeric complex (η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)₂Mn₂(NO)₃I for which a reasonable structure is proposed. Similar dimers can be prepared from the other halide salts. The reaction of (η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)I with NaCN yields (η⁷-C₇-H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)CN which is ethylated by [(C₂H₅)₃O]BF₄ to yield [(η⁷-C₇H₇)-Mo(CO)(PPh₃)(CNC₂H₅)]⁺. The interaction of this molybdenum halide complex with AgBF₄ in acetonitrile and pyridine yields [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)-(NCCH₃)]⁺ and [(η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)(NC₅H₅)]⁺, respectively. Both (η⁵-C₅-H₄CH₃)Mn(NO)(PPh₃)I and (η⁷-C₇H₇)Mo(CO)(PPh₃)I are oxidized by NOPF₆ to the respective 17-electron cations in acetonitrile at ?78°C but revert to the neutral halide complex at room temperature. This result is supported by electrochemical data.     

Platinum Complexes of a Borane‐Appended Analogue of 1,1′‐Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene: Flexible Borane Coordination Modes and in situ Vinylborane Formation

A bis(phosphine)borane ambiphilic ligand, [Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄PPh₂)(η⁵‐C₅H₄PtBu{C₆H₄(BPh₂)‐ortho})] (FcPPB), in which the borane occupies a terminal position, was prepared. Reaction of FcPPB with tris(norbornene)platinum(0) provided [Pt(FcPPB)] ( 1 ) in which the arylborane is η³BCC‐coordinated. Subsequent reaction with CO and CNXyl (Xyl=2,6‐dimethylphenyl) afforded [PtL(FcPPB)] {L=CO ( 2 ) and CNXyl ( 3 )} featuring η²BC‐ and η¹B‐arylborane coordination modes, respectively. Reaction of 1 or 2 with H₂ yielded [PtH(μ‐H)(FcPPB)] in which the borane is bound to a hydride ligand on platinum. Addition of PhC₂H to [Pt(FcPPB)] afforded [Pt(C₂Ph)(μ‐H)(FcPPB)] ( 5 ), which rapidly converted to [Pt(FcPPB′)] ( 6 ; FcPPB′=[Fe(η⁵‐C₅H₄PPh₂)(η⁵‐C₅H₄PtBu{C₆H₄(BPh‐CPh=CHPh‐Z)‐ortho}]) in which the newly formed vinylborane is η³BCC‐coordinated. Unlike arylborane complex 1 , vinylborane complex 6 does not react with CO, CNXyl, H₂ or HC₂Ph at room temperature.

Syntheses, Structure and Reactivity of η³‐1,2‐Diphosphaallyl Complexes and [{(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃}{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] Reaction of ClP=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂ ( 3 ) with Na[Mo(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] afforded the phosphavinylidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo=P=C(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 4 ) which in situ was converted into the η¹‐1,2‐diphosphaallyl complex [η⁵‐(C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₂iPr)₂] ( 6 ) by treatment with the phosphaalkene tBuP=C(NMe₂)₂. The chloroarsanyl complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₃M–As(Cl)CH(SiMe₃)₂] [where M = Mo ( 9 ); M = W ( 10 )] resulted from the reaction of Na[M(CO)₃(η⁵‐C₅H₅)] (M = Mo, W) with Cl₂AsCH(SiMe₃)₂. The tungsten derivative 10 and Na[Co(CO)₄] underwent reaction to give the dinuclear μ‐arsinidene complex [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W–Co(CO)₃{μ‐AsCH(SiMe₃)₂}(μ‐CO)] ( 11 ). Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η³‐tBuPPC(SiMe₃)₂}] ( 1 ) with an equimolar amount of ethereal HBF₄ gave rise to a 85/15 mixture of the saline complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂Mo{η²‐tBu(H)P–P(F)CH(SiMe₃)₂}]BF₄ ( 18 ) and [Cp(CO)₂Mo{F₂PCH(SiMe₃)₂}(tBuPH₂)]BF₄ ( 19 ) by HF‐addition to the PC bond of the η³‐diphosphaallyl ligand and subsequent protonation ( 18 ) and/or scission of the PP bond by the acid ( 19 ). Consistently 19 was the sole product when 1 was allowed to react with an excess of ethereal HBF₄. The products 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 18 and 19 were characterized by means of spectroscopy (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C{¹H}‐, ³¹P{¹H}‐NMR, MS). Moreover, the molecular structures of 6 , 11 and 18 were determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthese und dynamisches Verhalten von [Rh2(μ-H)3H2(PiPr3)4]+. Beiträge zur Reaktivität des Tetrahydridodirhodium-Komplexes [Rh2H4(PiPr3)4]

Synthesis and Dynamic Behaviour of [Rh₂(μ-H)₃H₂(PiPr₃)₄]⁺. Contributions to the Reactivity of the Tetrahydridodirhodium Complex [Rh₂H₄(PiPr₃)₄] An improved synthesis of [Rh₂H₄(PiPr₃)₄] ( 2 ) from [Rh(η³-C₃H₅)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 1 ) or [Rh(η³-CH₂C₆H₅)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 3 ) and H₂ is described. Compound 2 reacts with CO or CH₃OH to give trans-[RhH(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 4 ) and with ethene/acetone to yield a mixture of 4 and trans-[RhCH₃(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 5 ). The carbonyl(methyl) complex 5 has also been prepared from trans-[RhCl(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 6 ) and CH₃MgI. Whereas the reaction of 2 with two parts of CF₃CO₂H leads to [RhH₂(η²-O₂CCF₃) · (PiPr₃)₂] ( 8 ), treatment of 2 with one equivalent of CF₃CO₂H in presence of NH₄PF₆ gives the dinuclear compound [Rh₂H₅(PiPr₃)₄]PF₆ ( 9a ). The reactions of 2 with HBF₄ and [NO]BF₄ afford the complexes [Rh₂H₅(PiPr₃)₄]BF₄ ( 9b ) and trans-[RhF(NO)(PiPr₃)₂]BF₄ ( 11 ), respectively. In solution, the cation [Rh₂(μ-H)₃H₂(PiPr₃)₄]⁺ of the compounds 9a and 9b undergoes an intramolecular rearrangement in which the bridging hydrido and the phosphane ligands are involved.     

Halfsandwich Carbonylmetal Complexes of Vanadium,Chromium, and Manganese Containing Tri(1‐cyclohepta‐2, 4, 6‐trienyl)phosphane,P(C7H7)3

The photo‐induced substitution of a CO ligand has been used to prepare the halfsandwich complexes (η³‐C₃H₅)V(CO)₄[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 1 ), (η⁵‐C₅H₅)V(CO)₃[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 2 ), (η⁷‐C₇H₇)V(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 3 ), (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 4 ), and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)₂[P(C₇H₇)₃] ( 7 ), in which the olefinic phosphane is coordinated as a conventional two‐electron ligand through the lone pair of electrons at phosphorus. Some analogues, which are permethylated at the aromatic ring ( 2* , 4* , 7* ), were included for comparison. Subsequent photo‐elimination of another CO group from 4 or 7 converts the olefinic phosphane into a chelating four‐electron ligand, leading to (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂(η²‐C₇H₇)] ( 5 ) and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂(η²‐C₇H₇)] ( 8 ), respectively. The η²‐coordinated double bond in 5 and 8 can be displaced by trimethylphosphite to give (η⁶‐C₆H₃Me₃)Cr(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₃][P(OMe)₃] ( 6 ) and (η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₃][P(OMe)₃] ( 9 ). The ³¹P and ¹³C NMR spectra of all complexes are discussed, and X‐ray structure analyses for 2 and 8 are presented. Prolonged irradiation of 7 and 8 led to a di(cycloheptatrienyl)phosphido‐bridged dimer, {(η⁵‐C₅H₅)Mn(CO)[P(C₇H₇)₂]}₂( 10 ).

The structure of [(η⁴-C₆H₇)CH(N=CPh₂)CO₂Me]Fe(CO)₃ was determined by X-ray diffraction. From the adduct of [Ph₂C=NCHCO₂Me]^– and [(C₇H₇)Mo(CO)₃]⁺ the Schiff base of a new unnatural α-amino acid, Ph₂C=NCH(C₇H₇)CO₂Me, was obtained.     

Ansa‐Complexes of [Mn(η5‐C5H5)(η6‐C6H6)]: Preparation,Characterization, and Reactivity of [n]Manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2, 3)

We report the synthesis of [n]manganoarenophanes (n=1, 2) featuring boron, silicon, germanium, and tin as ansa‐bridging elements. Their preparation was achieved by salt‐elimination reactions of the dilithiated precursor [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄Li)(η⁶‐C₆H₅Li)]?pmdta (pmdta=N,N,N′,N′,N′′‐pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) with corresponding element dichlorides. Besides characterization by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, the identity of two single‐atom‐bridged derivatives, [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] and [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SiPh₂], could also be determined by X‐ray structural analysis. We investigated for the first time the reactivity of these ansa‐cyclopentadienyl–benzene manganese compounds. The reaction of the distannyl‐bridged complex [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)Sn₂tBu₄] with elemental sulfur was shown to proceed through the expected oxidative addition of the Sn?Sn bond to give a triatomic ansa‐bridge. The investigation of the ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) capability of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] with [Pt(PEt₃)₃] showed that an unexpected, unselective insertion into the C_ipso?Sn bonds of [Mn(η⁵‐C₅H₄)(η⁶‐C₆H₅)SntBu₂] had occurred.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and X‐ray Structures of Ru3(CO)9(dotpm)(L) Complexes [L = PPh3, P(C6H4Cl‐p)3, and PPh2(C6H4Br‐p)]

The reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₀(dotpm) ( 1 ) [dotpm = (bis(di‐ortho‐tolylphosphanyl)methane)] and one equivalent of L [L = PPh₃, P(C₆H₄Cl‐p)₃ and PPh₂(C₆H₄Br‐p)] in refluxing n‐hexane afforded a series of derivatives [Ru₃(CO)₉(dotpm)L] ( 2 – 4 ), respectively, in ca. 67–70 % yield. Complexes 2 – 4 were characterized by elemental analysis (CHN), IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C{¹H} NMR and ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 2 , 3 , and 4 were established by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The bidentate dotpm and monodentate phosphine ligands occupy equatorial positions with respect to the Ru triangle. The effect of substitution resulted in significant differences in the Ru–Ru and Ru–P bond lengths.

Reaction of [MoCo(CO)₅(PPh₃)₂(η⁵-C₅H₅)] (1) with diphenylacetylene in tetrahydrofuran at 50 °C yielded two heterobimetallic compounds, [MoCo(CO)₄.(PPh₃){μ-PhC ? CPh}(η⁵-C₅H₅)] (4) and [MoCo(CO)₅{μ-PhC ? CPh} (η⁵-C₅H₅)] (5). However, an unexpected product, Co(CO)₂(μ-CO)(μ:η₂,η⁴-C₄Ph₄)Co(CO)₂(PPh₃) (6), was observed while attempting to grow the crystals for structural determination of 4. The X-ray crystal structure of 6 was determined: triclinic, $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $, a = 11.654(2) Å, b = 12.864(2) Å, c = 13.854(2) Å, α = 89.67(2)°, β = 86.00(2)°, γ= 83.33(2)°, V = 2057.9(6) ų Z=2. In 6, two cobalt fragments are at apical and basal positions of the pseudo-pentagonal pyramidal structure, respectively. The electron count for the apical cobalt fragments is 20, which is rather unusual. It is believed that 6 was formed after the fragmentation and recombination of the fragmented species of 4.     

Koordinativ ungesättigte Dieisenkomplexe: Synthese und Kristallstrukturen von [Fe2(CO)4(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu2)(μ‐Ph2PCH2PPh2)] und [Fe2(CO)4(μ‐CH2)(μ‐H)(μ‐PtBu2)(μ‐Ph2PCH2PPh2)]

Coordinatively Unsaturated Diiron Complexes: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₆(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)] ( 1 ) reacts spontaneously with dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) to give [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 2 c ). By thermolysis or photolysis, 2 c loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and yields the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ). 3 exhibits a Fe–Fe double bond which could be confirmed by the addition of methylene to the corresponding dimetallacyclopropane [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ). The reaction of 1 with dppe (Ph₂PC₂H₄PPh₂) affords [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppe)] ( 5 ). In contrast to the thermolysis of 2 c , yielding 3 , the heating of 5 in toluene leads rapidly to complete decomposition. The reaction of 1 with PPh₃ yields [Fe₂(CO)₆(H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(PPh₃)] ( 6 a ), while with ^tBu₂PH the compound [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₅(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 6 b ) is formed. The thermolysis of 6 b affords [Fe₂(CO)₅(μ‐P^tBu₂)₂] and the degradation products [Fe(CO)₃(^tBu₂PH)₂] and [Fe(CO)₄(^tBu₂PH)]. The molecular structures of 3 , 4 and 6 b were determined by X‐ray crystal structure analyses.
