Chalcogen-Containing Manganese Carbonyl Clusters: Synthesis and Structural Transformations

Recently, we have developed several synthetic routes to the new classes of chalcogen-containing manganese carbonyl clusters, and the interesting structural transformations and reactivity of the resultant clusters have been investigated as well. In this short review, the syntheses and bonding modes of the sulfur, selenium, and tellurium-containing manganese carbonyl complexes reported by our laboratory will be presented, and the cluster growth and transformation will be systematically compared and discussed.     

RP-Bridged Metal Carbonyl Clusters: Synthesis,Properties, and Reactions

Metal carbonyl clusters possess a complicated chemistry that is only beginning to be understood. One of the main current goals in this area is thus an understanding of their reactivity. This article describes the syntheses and reactions of clusters that contain metal carbonyl fragments bridged by a main-group element. But what is the sense of making such clusters still more complicated by the incorporation of main-group elements? The example of μ₃-bridged carbonyl clusters will serve to show that the main-group element plays an important role in the study of reaction paths; it holds the metal carbonyl fragments together even when the bonds between them are broken in the course of a reaction. Trinuclear μ₃-bridged clusters prove to be small enough to allow the analysis of typical cluster reactions (such as the reversible breaking of metal-metal bonds) in terms of single reaction steps. They are also large enough to provide surprises by their multifaceted reactivity. It will be shown that a detailed study of trinuclear RX-bridged metal carbonyl clusters (X ? N, P, As, Sb, Bi)—a very small part of carbonyl cluster chemistry—can lead to a better understanding of the general reaction principles involved.     

High-Yield Synthesis of New Ni–Ru Carbido–Carbonyl Clusters

Four new bimetallic Ni–Ru mixed-metal carbido–carbonyl clusters of a general formula [NiRu₅C(CO)₁₄ L₂], where L₂ = dppe (2), dppp (5), (PPh₃)₂ (8) and (PBu₃)₂ (13) were synthesised following the general synthetic strategy using penta- and hexaruthenium carbido carbonyl dianions in the reactions with corresponding dichloro complexes of Ni(II). The molecular and crystal structures of 2, 5, 7, 8, and 13 were determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The mixed-metal core is octahedral with the P atoms coordinating to the Ru atoms.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Bimetallic Nickel and Cobalt Carbonyl Complexes Containing Stannyl Groups

The bimetallic NiSn₂ complex Ni(SnBu₃^t)₂(CO)_3, 1, was obtained from the reaction of Ni(COD)₂ and Bu₃^tSnH and CO. The reaction of Co₂(CO)₈ and Bu₃^tSnH afforded the bimetallic Co–Sn complex Co(SnBu₃^t)(CO)₄, 3. Compound 3 was also obtained from the reaction of Co₄(CO)₁₂ and Bu₃^tSnH but in a lower yield. Both compounds 1 and 3 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, and possess trigonal bipyramidal geometries around the transition metal centre with two and one stannyl ligands, respectively.     

Synthesis of Polymer-Supported Heteronuclear Rhodium- Cobalt Bimetallic Carbonyl Cluster Catalysts and Their Hydroformylation Properties

Tetranuclear Rh-Co bimetallic cluster was synthesized and characterized by IR and XPS. The properties of the anchored catalysts, its stability and the ligand effect were also studied. The experimental results show that the optimal conditions for the hydroformylation of hexene-1 are as follows: the temperature is 80℃, reaction time 8 h, pressure 5. 88×105 Pa, and molar ratio of H2/CO 1. 2/1. 0. Functional groups attached to the donor atom(N) possess more or less some influence on the catalytic behavior. Compared with the homogeneous cluster, the polymer-supported bimetallic cluster is more stable. After the catalytic reaction, the structure of the anchored catalysts was not destroyed. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterization indicates that there is a weak interaction between the polymer support and the active metals.     

Chemistry of Tetraosmium Carbonyl Clusters with Phenylazopyridine Ligands: Synthesis, Structure and Electrochemistry

Two new tetraosmium carbonyl clusters [Os₄(-H)₄(CO)₁₁{ ¹-NC₅H₄(N=N)C₆H₅}] (1) and [Os₄(-H)₄(CO)₁₀{ ²-NC₅H₄(N=N)C₆H₅}] (2) were synthesized from the reaction of [Os₄(-H)₄(CO)₁₂] with two equivalent of 2-phenylazopyridine ligand in dichloromethane at ambient temperature using trimethylamine-N-oxide as the decarbonylation reagent. Subsequent chromatographic purification led to the isolation of 1and 2as stable orange and blue solids in respectively 25 and 13% yields. Complex 1converted to 2in a 25% yield in refluxing chloroform. Treating a solution of [Os₄(-H)₄(CO)₁₂] in dichloromethane with two equivalent of 3-phenylazopyridine led to the formation of another two new clusters [Os₄(-H)₄(CO)₁₁{ ¹-NC₅H₄(N=N)C₆H₅}] (3) and [Os₄(-H)₄(CO)₁₀(NMe₃){ ¹-NC₅H₄(N=N)C₆H₅}] (4), which could be isolated as yellow solids in 34% and 21% yields respectively. Thermolysis of 3or 4in refluxing n-hexane gives [Os₄(-H)₃(CO)₁₀{- ³-NC₅H₃(N=N)C₆H₅}] (5) in 24 and 33% yields respectively. Their electronic absorption properties and electrochemical behavior are also reported.

用二-2-吡啶酮作为配体与羧酸钴在溶剂热中反应,得到两个新型连二-2-吡啶酮三核钴簇合物--Co3(Py2CO2H)2(PhCO2)5]·MeCN(1)和Co3(Py2CO)2(PhCO2)6(2),其结构经XRD, IR和元素分析表征.1属单斜晶系,P(2)1空间群,晶胞参数:a=1.068 7(3) nm, b=2.258 0(5) nm, c=1.163 9(3) nm, α=90.000°, β=104.805(5)°, γ=90.000°, V=2 715.6(4) nm3, Z=2, Dc=1.497 g·cm-3.2属三斜晶系,P-1空间群,晶胞参数:a=1.133 5(3) nm, b=1.140 8(3) nm, c=1.181 8(3) nm, α=85.59 8(6)°, β=75.973(5)°, γ=69.519(5)°, V=1 388.8(2), Z=1, Dc=1.521 g·cm-3.     

Energy-dependent Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry of Carbonyl Clusters

The electrospray ionisation mass spectra (EDESI-MS) of Ru₆C(CO)₁₆(PPh₃) and Ir₄(CO)₁₁(PR₃) (PR₃=PPh₃, P(p-C₆H₄OMe)₃, P(p-C₆H₄NMe₂)₃, P(p-C₆H₄Cl)₃, P(OPh)₃, P(OMe)₃, PO₃C₅H₉) are described and the relative importance of carbonyl loss versus phosphine loss as a fragmentation pathway is assessed. Qualitatively, the phosphine ligands bind more strongly to Ir₄(CO)₁₁ clusters than to Ru₆C(CO)₁₆. The influence on the collision cell pressure on MS/MS spectra of transition metal carbonyl cluster anions is also explored showing that a greater, simultaneous, distribution of fragment ions is produced as the collision cell pressure is increased.Dedicated to Prof. Brian F. G. Johnson on the occasion of his retirement.     

A Class of Trinuclear Clusters with Carbonyl Bridging

The impetus for this work was the structure of a trinuclear complex with two carbonyl groups showing incipient triple bridging - Cp₂Rh₃(CO)₄^?. Its structure, barrier to rotation of one Rh(CO)₂^? piece vs. the rest of the molecule, and the nature of the bridging carbonyl interaction are analyzed. Isolobal analogies form an interesting connection between this complex and a bridged isomer of the recently synthesized carbene complexes, Cp₂Rh₂(CO)₂CR₂, one isomer of Cp₂Rh₃(CO)₃, and hypothetical carbyne complexes Cp₂Rh₂(CO)₂CH^+,?. A general bonding model for Cp₂Rh₂(μ-CO)₂X complexes is constructed. The model, rich in geometrical detail, allows minima for the bridging carbonyl groups bending toward and away from the bonded ligand X.     

Synthesis, Characterization and Structural Properties of Some Heterobimetallic Carbonyl Clusters Derived from Diethynylsilane and Diethynyldisilane Ligands

We report the synthesis of some heterobimetallic carbonyl clusters of groups 8 and 9 derived from diethynylsilane and diethynyldisilane ligands. The triosmium carbonyl clusters containing a pendant acetylene unit [(μ-CO)Os₃(CO)₉(μ₃-η²-HC≡C-E-C≡CH)] [E = Si(CH₃)₂, Si(CH₃)₂–Si(CH₃)₂ and SiPh₂] were prepared and subsequently used for mixed-metal cluster formation. New diyne complexes of the type [{(μ-CO)Os₃(CO)₉}{Co₂(CO)₆}(μ₃-η²:η²-diyne)] and [{(μ-CO)Os₃(CO)₉}{(μ-H)Ru₃(CO)₉}(μ₃-η²:μ₃-η², η²-diyne)] [diyne = HC≡CSi(CH₃)₂C≡CH, HC≡CSi(CH₃)₂–Si(CH₃)₂C≡CH or HC≡CSi(Ph)₂C≡CH] have been prepared in good yields from the reaction of [(μ-CO)Os₃(CO)₉(μ₃-η²-HC≡C-E-C≡CH)] with a molar equivalent of [Co₂(CO)₈] and [Ru₃(CO)₁₂], respectively. All the new heterobimetallic compounds have been characterized by IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The X-ray crystal structures and computational analyses based on density functional theory of these three molecules have been studied. Structurally, the dicobalt species adopts a pseudo-tetrahedral Co₂C₂ core with the alkyne bond which lies essentially perpendicular to the Co–Co vector. For the mixed osmium–ruthenium analogue, the hexanuclear carbonyl cluster consist of two trinuclear metal cores with the μ₃-(η²-||) bonding mode for the acetylene group in the former case and the μ₃-η², η² bonding mode in the latter one.     

Ferrocenyl anthracenes: Synthesis and molecular structure

The synthesis of a series of ferrocenylanthracene derivatives is described, utilising the palladium catalysed coupling reaction of 1,1′-bis(chlorozincio)ferrocene with halo-anthracenes. Bis-1,1′-(9-anthracenyl)ferrocene (1) was characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and shows an eclipsed ferrocenyl geometry. X-ray crystallographic studies indicate that there are no clear stacking interactions of either an intra- or intermolecular nature between the anthracenyl rings in the structure. A series of 9- and 10-disubstituted ferrocenylanthracene derivatives has also been prepared. In each case the palladium catalyst (Pd(dppf)Cl₂) is recovered in a modified form, e.g. as the [(dppf)PdBr(9-anthracenyl)] complex in the synthesis of bis-1,1′-(9-anthracenyl)ferrocene. The single crystal X-ray structure of one such palladium complex [(dppf)PdBr-9-(10-chloroanthracenyl)] (15a) has been determined in a case where chloride/bromide exchange had occurred in the palladium complex intermediate. The potential application of compound 1 as synthon for the construction of a molecular sensing device is discussed. Cyclic voltammetry and fluorescence studies have been carried out for selected derivatives.
