Synthesis, structure and reactivity of [(CF3)3GePt(PPh3)2]2Hg

The reaction of Pt(PPh₃)_n (n = 3 or 4) with [(CF₃)₃Ge]₂Hg or (CF₃)₃GeHgPt(PPh₃)₂Ge(CF₃)₃ (I) gives a stable diplatinum complex [(CF₃)₃GePt(PPh₃)₂]₂Hg (II). X-Ray analysis has established that compound II contains a Ge---Pt---Hg---Pt---Ge chain of C₂ symmetry. Both of the Pt atoms have distorted square-planar coordinations. The bond lengths are: Pt---Hg, 2.630(2) and 2.665(2) Å; Ge---Pt, 2.410(4) and 2.407(4) Å.

Compound II reacts with dihydrogen in THF solution under mild conditions to give mercury and the hydride (CF₃)₃GePt(PPh₃)₂H. On interaction of II with R₂Hg organomercurials (R = Cl, Et, GeEt₃, Ge(CF₃)₃, Ge(C₆F₅)₃) an unknown reaction takes place: Pt(PPh₃)₂ moieties migrate from the polymetallic grouping into the substrate with the formation of the corresponding RHgPt(PPh₃)₂R complexes or their demercuration products, R₂Pt(PPh₃);, (R = Cl, Et). The latter react further with complex I formed in the first step of the process to give Hg and (CF₃)₃GePt(PPh₃)₂R. The reaction schemes are discussed.     

Molecular structure of the rotational isomers in short chain n-perfluoroalkanes

The structure of the isomers present in the different physical states of n-C₄F₁₀, n-C₆F₁₄ and n-C₈F₁₈ is discussed, using previously published experimental data from IR and Raman spectroscopy and an approximate force field. It is proposed that the gauche form of n-C₄F₁₀, observed only in the gas and the liquid, is characterized by an internal rotational angle of about 120°. At least three non-trans forms exist in the gaseous and the liquid states of the C₆ compound, but they disappear in the crystal. In contrast, the two solid phases of n-C₈F₁₉ which are stable at high temperatures are disordered and contain one or two gauche isomers; only the lowest temperature one possesses the all-trans form alone.

Homo- and hetero-bridged mixed-valence dinuclear complexes which contain the fragment ‘Rh(C6F5)3’

The reaction of the anionic mononuclear rhodium complex [Rh(C₆F₅)₃Cl(Hpz)]^t- (Hpz = pyrazole, C₃H₄N₂) with methoxo or acetylacetonate complexes of Rh or Ir led to the heterodinuclear anionic compounds [(C₆F₅)₃Rh(μ-Cl)(μ-pz)M(L₂)] [M = Rh, L₂ = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene, COD (1), tetrafluorobenzobarrelene, TFB (2) or (CO)₂ (4); M = Ir, L₂ = COD (3)]. The complex [Rh(C₆F₅)₃(Hbim)]⁻ (5) has been prepared by treating [Rh(C₆F₅)₃(acac)]⁻ with H₂bim (acac = acetylacetonate; H₂bim = 2,2′-biimidazole). Complex 5 also reacts with Rh or Ir methoxo, or with Pd acetylacetonate, complexes affording the heterodinuclear complexes [(C₆F₅)₃Rh(μ-bim)M(L₂)]⁻ [M = Rh, L₂ = COD (6) or TFB (7); M = Ir, L₂ = COD (8); M = Pd, L₂ = η³-C₃H₅ (9)]. With [Rh(acac)(CO)₂], complex 5 yields the tetranuclear complex [{(C₆F₅)₃Rh(μ-bim)Rh(CO)₂}₂]₂₋. Homodinuclear Rh^III derivatives [{Rh(C₆F₅)₃}₂(μ-L)₂]^·- [L₂ = OH, pz (11); OH, S^tBu (12); OH, SPh (13); bim (14)] have been obtained by substitution of one or both hydroxo groups of the dianion [{Rh(C₆F₅)₃(μ-OH)}₂]²⁻ by the corresponding ligands. The reaction of [Rh(C₆F₅)₃(Et₂O)_x] with [PdX₂(COD)] produces neutral heterodinuclear compounds [(C₆F₅)₃Rh(μ-X)₂Pd(COD)] [X = Cl (15); Br (16)]. The anionic complexes 1–14 have been isolated as the benzyltriphenylphosphonium (PBzPh₃⁺) salts.     

Perfluoromethyl—element-liganden : XX. Bildung von heteronuclearen zweikernkomplexen des typs mm′(CO)nXY (M = Mn; M′ = Re, Co)

The reactions of MnRe(CO)₁₀ with As₂(CF₃)₄ and MnCo(CO)₉ with P₂(CF₃)₄, As₂(CF₃)₄, S₂(CF₃)₂, Se₂(CF₃)₂, (CF₃)₂EI (E = P, As), (CF₃)₂AsH, (CF₃)₂AsE′CF₃ (E′ = S, Se), (CF₃)₂PSeCF₃, Me₂AsI and (CF₃)₂PPMe₂, respectively, have been studied under various conditions. Besides already known mono- and binuclear compounds the heteronuclear complexes MnRe(CO)₈[As(CF₃)₂]₂ and MnCo(CO)₇[E(CF₃)₂]₂ (E = P, As) are formed. The reactions proceed via cleavage of the M---M′ bond and formation of the mononuclear species Mn(CO)₅X and M′(CO)_nY (M′ = Re, n = 5; M′ = Co, n = 4).     

Degradation Method for Preparing Organo-Arsenic and-Antimony Polytungstates and Comparative Study of Corresponding Polymolybdates

In repeating and extending the syntheses of organo-arsenic polytungstates,we found that the "Degradation Method",taking sodium metatungstate as the starting material,was much more profita-ble.The known compound (CN3H6)5[(C6H5As)2W6O25H]2H2O(1) was read-ily reproduced with a high yield.A new compound (CN3H6)6[(p-OH,m-NO2C6H3As)2W6O25](2) was likewise synthesized.This "Degradation Method" using the reaction of sodium metatungstate with organo-anti-monate led to the isolation of four compounds with definite composition although amorphous in appearance.The preparations of organo-arsenic polymolybdates and organo-antimony polymolybdates were also studied and six new organo-arsenic polymolybdates were isolated: (CN3H6)5[(C6H5As)2MoO25H]H2O(3),(CN3H6)4[(n-C3H7As)2Mo5O21]2H O (4),(CNH)4[(n-C3H7As)2Mo6O24](5),Cs2[(CH3)2AsMo4O15H](6),相似文献   

Ergebnisse aus versuchen zur darstellung von bis(trifluormethylsulphanyl)thioketen (CF3S)2C=C=S

The attempted preparation of bis(trifluoromethylsulphanyl)thioketene is described. Mono-and di-(trifluoromethylsulphanyl)-substituted orthothioesters may be prepared fromCH₃C(SC₂H₅)₃ and CF₃SCl in the presence of anhydrous ZnCl₂. The unstable compoundshave been isolated and characterized. The corresponding CF₃Se and CF₃SO₂ derivativesare only formed as intermediates which decompose to ketene diethylmercaptal. Suchmono- and di-substituted products are obtained in good yield from H₂C=C(SC₂H₅)₂ andCF₃ECl (E=S, Se). The reaction of H₂C=C(SC₂H₅)₂ with CF₃SO₂F gave only poor yieldsof (CF₃SO₂)_nCH_2−n=C(SC₂H₅)₂ (n=1, 2) which were only capable of characterizationin etheral solution by spectral means. Attempts to prepare (CF₃S)₂C=C=S by refluxing(CF₃S)₂CHC(O)Cl, (CF₃S)₂CHC(O)OH or (CF₃S)₂C=C=O with P₄S₁₀ in toluene yieldedonly the cyclic dimer and the corresponding 1,3,4-trithiolan.     

Novel perfluoroalkenylphosphonates and iodoperfluoroalkenes from 3,3 -bis (trifluoromethyl) -1,1,2,4,4,4-hexafluoro-1-butylene and nonafluoro-n-butoxy-1,1,2-trifluoroethylene

The reaction of 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,1,2,4,4,4-hexafluoro-1-butylene and nonafluoro-n-butoxy-1,1,2-trifluoroethylene with tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphite gave fluorotrimethylsilane and the respective (Z)-alkenylbis(trimethylsilyl)phosphonates. In one case hydrolysis afforded the free phosphonic acid (CF₃)₃CCF = CFP(O) (OH)₂. Using tri-n-butylphosphine and boron trifluoride etherate, 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,1,2,4,4,4-hexafluoro-1-butylene and nonafluoro-n-butoxy-1,1,2-trifluoroethylene were converted into the corresponding phosphonium tetrafluoroborates, which when reacted further with iodine in the presence of Na₂CO₃ gave the iodo derivatives (CF₃)₃CCF = CFI and C₄F₉OCF = CFI.     

Reactions of tetrakis(trifluoromethyl) diphosphine and bis(trifluoromethyl) phosphine with ruthenium carbonyl clusters; X-ray structure of tetraruthenium carbonyl cluster derivatives

Reaction of [Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with (CF₃)₂P---P(CF₃)₂ in p-xylene at 140°C yielded the compounds [Ru₄(CO)₁₃{μ-P(CF₃)₂}₂] (1), [Ru₄(CO)₁₄{μ-P(CF₃)₂}₂] (2) and [Ru₄(CO)₁₁{μ-P(CF₃)₂}₄] (3). Reaction with [(μ-H)₄Ru₄(CO)₁₂] under similar conditions yielded [(μ-H)₃Ru₄(CO)₁₂{μ-P(CF₃)₂}] (4). All four compounds have been characterised by X-ray crystallography. The fluxional behaviour of the hydrides in 4 has also been studied by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 1, 2 and 4 were also obtained from the reactions of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with (CF₃)₂PH in dichloromethane at 80°C.     

Theoretical Exploration of Stereochemical Nonrigidity for RfCo（PF3）x（CO）4-x（Rf=CF3, C2F5, C3F7, x=0-4）

The stereochemical nonrigidity of RfCo（PF3）x（CO）4-x（Rf=CF3,C2F5,C3F7,x=0-4） was studied at the theoretical level of B3LYP/6-31 1＋G^＊ via Gaussian 09.The intramolecular rearrangements in these penta-coordinated compounds are mainly caused by the vibrations of perfluoroalkyl groups.All the barriers along the reaction coordinate are less than 66.9 kJ/mol,which indicates that the rearrangements are kinetically favorable and hard to elucidate by experiment.Besides,ligand PF3 is a ligand similar to CO,the energy difference between the reactant and product is small.     

Surfactants having polyfluoroalkyl chains. II. Syntheses of anionic surfactants having two polyfluoroalkyl chains including a trifluoromethyl group at each tail and their flocculation-redispersion ability for dispersed magnetite particles in water

Anionic surfactants having two polyfluoroalkyl chains per molecule, i.e. the sodium salt of bis(1H, 1H, 2H,2H-heptadeca-fluorodecyl)-2-sulfosuccinate, CF₃(CF₂)₇(CH₂)₂OCOCH₂CH(SO₃Na)COO(CH₂)₂(CF₂)₇CF₃, the sodium salt of bis(1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-tridecafluoro-octyl)-2-sulfosuccinate, CF₃(CF₂)₅(CH₂)₂OCOCH₂CH(SO₃Na)COO(CH₂)₂(CF₂)₅CF₃, and the sodium salt of bis(1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-nonafluorohexyl)-2-sulfosuccinate, CF₃(CF₂)₃(CH₂)₂OCOCH₂CH(SO₃Na)COO(CH₂)₂(CF₂)₃CF₃, have been prepared from maleic anhydride, the corresponding alcohols possessing a polyfluoroalkyl chain and sodium hydrogen sulfite. The flocculation and redispersion abilities of these surfactants for dispersed magnetic particles in water have been examined to investigate the effect of the chain length. It was found that this ability was enhanced by an increase in the chain length. The contact angles for water for pelleted surface-modified magnetite have been measured. In order to compare this ability and the contact angles, data for other fluorinated surfactant have been obtained. The Kraff point, the surface tension and the pNa of the aqueous surfactant solutions have also been measured.     

Polymerization of MMA by oscillating zirconocene catalysts, diastereomeric zirconocene mixtures, and diastereospecific metallocene pairs

Characteristics of methyl methacrylate (MMA) polymerization using oscillating zirconocene catalysts, (2-Ph-Ind)₂ZrX₂ (X = Cl, 1; X = Me, 2), mixtures of rac- and meso-zirconocene diastereomers, (SBI)ZrMe₂ [3, SBI = Me₂Si(Ind)₂] and (EBI)ZrMe₂ [4, EBI = C₂H₄(Ind)₂], as well as diastereospecific metallocene pairs, rac-4/Cp₂ZrMe₂ (5) and rac-4/CGCTiMe₂ [6, CGC = Me₂Si(Me₄C₅)(t-BuN)], are reported. MMA polymerization using the chloride catalyst precursor 1 activated with a large excess of the modified methyl aluminoxane is sluggish, uncontrolled, and produces atactic PMMA. On the other hand, the polymerization by a 2/1 ratio of 2/B(C₆F₅)₃ or 2/Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄ is controlled and produces syndiotactic PMMA. Mixtures of diastereomeric ansa-zirconocenes 3 or 4 containing various rac/meso ratios, when activated with B(C₆F₅)₃, yield bimodal PMMA; this behavior is attributed to the meso-diastereomer that, in its pure form, affords bimodal, syndio-rich atactic PMMA. For MMA polymerization using diastereospecific metallocene pairs, rac-4/5 and rac-4/6, the isospecific catalyst site dominates the polymerization events under the conditions employed in this study, and the aspecific and syndiospecific sites are largely nonproductive, thereby forming only highly isotactic PMMA.     

Photochemistry of perfluoroacyl halides in the presence of O2 and CO

Photolyses of CF₃C(O)X and C₂F₅C(O)X (X=Cl, F) at 254 nm in the presence of O₂ yield the perfluorinated radicals C₂F₅O (C₂) and CF₃O (C₁), respectively. The C₂ radicals decompose to give CF₃ radicals:

C₂F₅O→CF₃+CF₂O

which, in turn, react with O₂ leading to the formation of C₁ radicals. When in addition to O₂, CO is present, the C₁ radicals react with it leading to its catalytic oxidation to CO₂. The trioxide CF₃OC(O)O₃C(O)OCF₃ was observed following the photolysis of all four halides in the presence of O₂ and CO.

The other radical partners coming from the initial step in the photolysis (XC(O)) as well as the products of their reaction with O₂ (XC(O)O_y, y=1, 2) do not react with CO but when X=F they lead to the formation of a new stable peroxy molecule with the formula CF₃OC(O)O₂C(O)F. Some of the properties of this new molecule, its stability and its IR features are presented in this work.     

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.

Synthesis, structure and reactions of organometallic compounds of Groups 1–3 containing bulky silicon-substituted alkyl groups

Complexes trans-[PtX(L)(PPh₃)₂]A [1: X = CF₃; A = BF₄; L = NCNH₂, NCNMe₂, NCNEt₂, or NCNC(NH₂)₂. 2: X = Cl; A = BPh₄; L = NCNMe₂ or NCNEt₂] and cis-[PtCl(L)(PPh₃)₂][BPh₄] [3: L = NCNH₂ or NCNC(NH₂)₂], which appear to be the first cyanamide or cyanoguanidine complexes of platinum to be reported, have been prepared by treatment of trans-[PtBr(CF₃)(PPh₃)₂] (in CH₂Cl₂/acetone and in the presence of Ag[BF₄]) or of cis-[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] (in THF and in the presence of Na[BPh₄]), respectively, with the appropriate substrate. In KBr pellets or in solution 1 (L = NCNMe₂ or NCNEt₂) undergoes ready replacement of the organocyanamide (under the trans influence of CF₃) by bromide to regenerate trans-(PtBr(CF₃)(PPh₃)₂]. The X-ray structure of 1 (X = CF₃, A = BF₄, L = NCNEt₂) is also reported, and shows the presence of two apical intramolecular contacts of the metal with two ortho-hydrogen atoms of the phosphines, whereas the amine N atom of the diethylcyanamide is trigonal planar in the linear NCN framework with a delocalized π system.     

Profiles of ethylene polymerization with zirconocene–trialkylaluminum/borane compound

Ethylene polymerization was conducted with bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride (1) and rac-dimethylsilylenebis(indenyl)zirconium dichloride (2) combined with trialkylaluminum (AlR₃; R=methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), isobutyl (iBu))/triphenylcarbenium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄) or tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (B(C₆F₅)₃) to study the effect of cocatalysts on polymerization rate (R_p). When AlMe₃ was used, no activity or very low activity was observed with both zirconocenes regardless of the borane compounds used. The replacement of AlMe₃ to AlEt₃ or AliBu₃ with 1–AlR₃/Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄ caused polymerization and induction time was observed to reach the maximum R_p. Especially in the case of using AlEt₃, it took about 30 min to show the activity. When B(C₆F₅)₃ was used, AlEt₃ was not effective but AliBu₃ gave the highest activity among all the combinations of AlR₃ and the borane compounds. In the case of polymerization with 2 using Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄, high activity was observed with both AlEt₃ and AliBu₃ without any induction period. When B(C₆F₅)₃ was used instead of Ph₃CB(C₆F₅)₄, very low activity was observed with AlEt₃. On the other hand, high activity was observed with AliBu₃, and the maximum R_p was found at the beginning of the polymerization. The effect of AlR₃ on the formation of active species was discussed based on these results.     

Perfluormethyl-element-liganden : XXXI. Ligandeneigenschaften von Me2PP(CF3)2 und Me2AsP(CF3)2

The coordinating properties of the trifluoromethyl elemental compounds Me₂PP(CF₃)₂ and Me₂AsP(CF₃)₂ have been studied by the synthesis and spectroscopic investigations (IR, NMR, MS) of their complexes cis-M(CO)₄L₂ (A), [(CO)₄ML]₂ (B) and [(CO)₅M]₂L (C) (M = Cr, Mo, W). Complexes of type A with L = Me₂PP(CF₃)₂ are obtained in good yield by reaction with M(CO)₄NBD (NBD = norbornadiene), whereas with L = Me₂AsP(CF₃)₂ the homobinuclear compounds B are formed. The attempt to prepare the cis-M(CO)₄[Me₂AsP(CF₃)₂]₂ complexes by treating M(CO)₄(Me₂AsH)₂ with P₂(CF₃)₄ is successful only for M = W. Binuclear compounds of type B or C, in general, can be prepared by stepwise reaction of the ligands with either M(CO)₄NBD or M(CO)₅THF.
