Synthesis, solid-state structure, and bonding analysis of the beryllocenes [Be(C5Me4H)2], [Be(C5Me5)2], and [Be(C5Me5)(C5Me4H)

The beryllocenes [Be(C(5)Me(4)H)(2)] (1), [Be(C(5)Me(5))(2)] (2), and [Be(C(5)Me(5))(C(5)Me(4)H)] (3) have been prepared from BeCl(2) and the appropriate KCp' reagent in toluene/diethyl ether solvent mixtures. The synthesis of 1 is facile (20 degrees C, overnight), but generation of decamethylberyllocene 2 demands high temperatures (ca. 115 degrees C) and extended reaction times (3-4 days). The mixed-ring beryllocene 3 is obtained when the known [(eta(5)-C(5)Me(5))BeCl] is allowed to react with K[C(5)Me(4)H], once more under somewhat forcing conditions (115 degrees C, 36 h). The structures of the three metallocenes have been determined by low-temperature X-ray studies. Both 1 and 3 present eta5/eta1 geometries of the slip-sandwich type, whereas 2 exhibits an almost regular, ferrocene-like, sandwich structure. In the mixed-ring compound 3, C(5)Me(5) is centrally bound to beryllium and the eta(1)-C(5)Me(4)H ring bonds to the metal through the unique CH carbon atom. This is also the binding mode of the eta(1)-ring of 1. To analyze the nature of the bonding in these molecules, theoretical calculations at different levels of theory have been performed on compounds 2 and 3, and a comparison with the bonding in [Be(C(5)H(5))(2)] has been made. As for the latter molecule, energy differences between the eta5/eta5 and the eta5/eta1 structures of 2 are very small, being of the order of a few kcal mol(-1). Constrained space orbital variations (CSOV) calculations show that the covalent character in the bonding is larger for [Be(C(5)Me(5))(2)] than for [Be(C(5)H(5))(2)] due to larger charge delocalization and to increased polarizability of the C(5)Me(5) fragment.     

Reactions of Distibanes with [Fe2(CO)9]: Synthesis,Structure and DFT Calculations of [(Et2Sb)4Fe4(CO)14], [(nPr2Sb)4Fe3(CO)10], [{(Me3SiCH2)2Sb}4Fe2(CO)6], and [2‐(Me2NCH2)C6H4SbFe2(CO)8]

The iron complexes [(Et₂Sb)₄Fe₄(CO)₁₄] ( 1 ), [(nPr₂Sb)₄Fe₃(CO)₁₀] ( 2 ), [{(Me₃SiCH₂)₂Sb}₄Fe₂(CO)₆] ( 3 ), and [2‐(Me₂NCH₂)C₆H₄SbFe₂(CO)₈] ( 4 ) were prepared by reactions of distibanes with Fe₂(CO)₉. Compounds 1 – 4 were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as mass spectrometry; complex 1 was additionally characterized by density functional calculations.     

Replacement of Trimethylamine in Trimethylamine‐trispentafluoroethyl‐borane. Structures of [(C2F5)3BNMe3], [NMe4][(C2F5)3BOH], and K[(C2F5)3BCH2(CO)C6H5]

Trimethylamine‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borane [(C₂F₅)₃BNMe₃] ( 1 ) reacts at 190 °C with water under displacement of the trimethylamine ligand to yield the hydroxy‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borate [(C₂F₅)₃BOH]^? ( 2 ). In tributylamine 1 reacts with alkynes HC≡CR to form novel ethynyl‐tris(pentafluoroethyl)borate anions [(C₂F₅)₃BC≡CR]^? – R = C₆H₅ ( 3 ), C₆H₄CH₃ ( 4 ), Si(CH(CH₃)₂)₃ ( 5 ) – in moderate yields. Compound 3 adds water across the triple bond to form the novel anion [(C₂F₅)₃BCH₂(CO)C₆H₅]^? ( 6 ). The structures of [(C₂F₅)₃BNMe₃], [NMe₄][(C₂F₅)₃BOH] and K[(C₂F₅)₃BCH₂(CO)C₆H₅] have been determined by x‐ray crystallography.     

Preparation and characterization of [Hg[P(C6F5)2]2], [Hg[(mu-P(C6F5)2)W(CO)5]2], and [Hg[(mu-P(CF3)2)W(CO)5]2] and the X-ray crystal structure of [Hg[(mu-P(C6F5)2)W(CO)5]2].2DMF

The thermally unstable compound [Hg[P(C(6)F(5))(2)](2)] was obtained from the reaction of mercury cyanide and bis(pentafluorophenyl)phosphane in DMF solution and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The thermally stable trinuclear compounds [Hg[(mu-P(CF(3))(2))W(CO)(5)](2)] and [Hg[(mu-P(C(6)F(5))(2))W(CO)(5)](2)] are isolated and completely characterized. The higher order NMR spectra exhibiting multinuclear satellite systems have been sufficiently analyzed. [Hg[(mu-P(CF(3))(2))W(CO)(5)](2)].2DMF crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 2366.2(3) pm, b = 1046.9(1) pm, c = 104.0(1) pm, and beta = 104.01(1) degrees. Structural, NMR spectroscopic, and vibrational data prove a weak coordination of the two DMF molecules. Structural, vibrational, and NMR spectroscopic evidence is given for a successive weakening of the pi back-bonding effect of the W-P bond in the order [W(CO)(5)PH(R(f))(2)], [Hg[(mu-P(R(f))(2))W(CO)(5)](2)], and [W[P(R(f))(2)](CO)(5)](-) with R(f) = C(6)F(5) and CF(3). The pi back-bonding effect of the W-C bonds increases vice versa.

New Thioantimonates(III) with Different Sb:S Ratios: Solvothermal Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [(C3H10NO)(C3H10N)][Sb8S13], [(C2H8NO)(C2H8N)(CH5N)][Sb8S13], [(C6H16N2)(C6H14N2)][Sb6S10], and [C8H22N2][Sb4S7]

Four new thioantimonates(III) with compositions [(C₃H₁₀NO)(C₃H₁₀N)][Sb₈S₁₃] ( 1 ) (C₃H₉NO = 1‐amino‐3‐propanol, C₃H₉N = propylamine), [(C₂H₈NO)(C₂H₈N)(CH₅N)][Sb₈S₁₃] ( 2 ) (C₂H₇NO = ethanolamine, C₂H₇N = ethylamine, CH₅N = methylamine), [(C₆H₁₆N₂)(C₆H₁₄N₂)][Sb₆S₁₀] ( 3 ) (C₆H₁₄N₂ = 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) and [C₈H₂₂N₂][Sb₄S₇] ( 4 ) (C₈H₂₀N₂ = 1,8‐diaminooctane) were synthesized under solvothermal conditions. Compound 1 : triclinic space group P$\bar{1}$ , a = 6.9695(6) Å, b = 13.8095(12) Å, c = 18.0354(17) Å, α = 98.367(11), β = 96.097(11) and γ = 101.281(11)°; compound 2 : monoclinic space group P2₁/m, a = 7.1668(5), b = 25.8986(14), c = 16.0436(11) Å, β = 96.847(8)°; compound 3 : monoclinic space group P2₁/n, a = 11.6194(9), b = 10.2445(5) Å, c = 27.3590(18) Å, β = 91.909(6)°; compound 4 : triclinic space group P$\bar{1}$ , a = 7.0743(6), b = 12.0846(11), c = 13.9933(14) Å, α = 114.723(10), β = 97.595(11), γ = 93.272(11)°. The main structural feature of the two atoms thick layered [Sb₈S₁₃]^2– anion in 1 are large nearly rectangular pores with dimensions 11.2 × 11.7 Å. The layers are stacked perpendicular to [100] to form tunnels being directed along [100]. In contrast to 1 the structure of 2 contains a [Sb₈S₁₃]^2– chain anion with Sb₁₂S₁₂ pores measuring about 8.9 × 11.5 Å. Only if longer Sb–S distances are considered as bonding interactions a layered anion is formed. The chain anion [Sb₆S₁₀]^2– in compound 3 is unique and is constructed by corner‐sharing SbS₃ pyramids. Two symmetry‐related single chains consisting of alternating SbS₃ units and Sb₃S₃ rings are bound to Sb₄S₄ rings in chair conformation. Finally, in the structure of 4 the SbS₃ and SbS₄ moieties are joined corner‐linked to form a chain of alternating SbS₄ units and (SbS₃)₃ blocks. Neighboring chains are connected into sheets that contain relatively large Sb₁₀S₁₀ heterorings. The sheets are further connected by sulfur atoms generating four atoms thick double sheets.
