Homogeneous catalysis by transition metal complexes. Part VI: Hydroformylation of 1-octene catalysed by [η5-C5R5M(CO)2X] and [η5-C5R5M(CO)2]2 species (R = H,CH3, C6H5; M = Fe,Ru; X = Cl,Br, I)

The hydroformylation of 1-octene catalysed by the title compounds has been examined at 135 °C under an atmosphere of H₂ and CO at a pressure of 85 atm. The influence on the activity and selectivity of various parameters such as the nature of the metal, the nuclearity of the original complex and the electronic and steric effects induced by the substituents on the cyclopentadienyl ligand has been investigated and discussed.     

[M(dap)3]2(Sb2Se5)·xH2O(M=Ni,x=2;M=Zn,x=0)的溶剂热合成及晶体结构

利用溶剂热法合成了2种新的有机杂化锑硒化合物[Ni(dap)3]2(Sb2Se5)].2H2O(1)和[Zn(dap)3]2(Sb2Se5)](2)(dap=1,2-丙二胺),单晶X射线衍射分析结果表明,1属于三方晶系,P3121空间群,晶胞参数为a=10.7574(14),b=10.7574(14),c=31.672(4),γ=120.00°,z=4。2属于单斜晶系,P21空间群,晶胞参数为a=10.772(2),b=16.391(3),c=11.704(2),β=100.912(4)°,z=4。在2种化合物中,Ni2 与Zn2 离子分别与3个dap配体螯合形成畸变八面体几何构型,其中dap配体的N原子是无序的,而二聚[Sb2Se5]2-阴离子是由2个SbSe3三角锥共用1个Se原子连接而成。     

Synthesis of molecular ferromagnetics [R3R′X]MCr(C2O4)3 (X = N,R = Bun,R′ = Prn,Et, Me; X = P,R = Ph,R′ = Bun; M = Mn,Fe, Co,Ni, Cu)

The synthesis, IR spectra, and the temperatures of the transition into a ferromagnetic state (T _c) of layered ferromagnetics [R₃RX[MCr(C₂O₄)₃ (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, and Ni) with the [Ph₃BuP]⁺, [Bu₃RN]⁺ (R = Pr, Et, and Me) cations capable of subsequently changing the distances between metallooxalate layers have been considered. The temperatureT _c has been found to be independent of the size of the organic cation. It is believed that the determining factors in the transition to a ferromagnetic state are exchange interactions inside the metallooxalate layer.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Phosphine-centred resolution of (η4-diene)Fe(CO)3 complexes: (η4-tropone)Fe(CO)2L and (η4-isoprene)Fe(CO)2L [L = (+)-(neomenthyl)PPh2]

(η⁴-Tropone)Fe(CO)₃ and (η⁴-isoprene)Fe(CO)₃ form separable diastereoisomers on substitution of CO by (+)-(neomenthyl)PPh₂. In the tropone complex, diastereoisomer interconversion occurs by a 1,3-metal shift. The absolute configuration of the isoprene complex has been determined crystallographically.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of [RBzPy] [Fe(mnt)2] complexes ([RBzPy]+ = 1-(4′-R-benzyl)pyridinium,R = NO2 and CL; mnt2− = maleonitriledithiolate)

Ion-pair complexes consisting of the [Fe(mnt)₂]^– anion and [RBzPy]⁺ cations [R = NO₂ (1) or Cl (2)] have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis and i.r. spectroscopy. The single crystal structure of (1) shows that the [Fe(mnt)₂]^– anions are dimeric, and that the coordination geometry of each Fe atom is square pyramidal. The most significant structural feature of (1) is that anions and cations form completely separate columns and – interactions occur within the cation columns. Thermal variations of _m T for the complexes indicated antiferromagnetic coupling within the dimer.     

The unusual electrochemical behaviour of [Co8(CO)18C]2− compared to [M6(CO)15C]2− (M = Co,Rh) and [Fe6(CO)16C]2− carbido clusters

A variety of electrochemical reactions has been observed for the carbido-carbonyl clusters [Co₈(CO)₁₈C](NMe₃CH₂C₆H₅)₂, [Co₆(CO)₁₅C](NMe₃CH₂C₆H₅)₂, [Rh₆(CO)₁₅C](Et₄N)₂ and [Fe₆(CO)₁₆C](Et₄N)₂. The hexanuclear clusters undergo irreversible electrochemical oxidation and reduction steps, whereas the octacobalt species exhibits three electrochemically reversible one-electron steps. The relation between the redox properties and the structure of these clusters is discussed.     

Synthesis,crystal and molecular structure of the “slipped” sandwich complex [Ni(η5-P3C2R2)(η3-P2C3R3)] (R = But)

The synthesis of the novel “slipped” sandwich compound [Ni(η⁵-P₃C₂R₂)(η³-P₂C₃R₃)] (R = Bu^t) is described. The mode of attachment of the P₃C₂R₂ and P₂C₃R₃ rings has been determined by NMR spectroscopy and a single crystal X-ray diffraction study.     

Voltammetry of carbocations stabilized by coordination with tetrahedral molybdenum- and tungsten-carbon clusters. [Cp2M2(CO)4-μ-η2:η3-(HCCCR1R2)]+BF4 −(M = Mo,W; R1, R2 = H,Me, and Pri) complexes

The electrochemical reduction of the carbocationic complexes [Cp₂M₂(CO)₄--₂:₃(HCCCR¹R²)]+BF₄ ^–, where M/R¹, R² = Mo/H, H (¹⁺), Mo/H, Me (2 ⁺), Mo/Me, Me (3⁺), Mo/H, Prⁱ (4⁺), has been studied by polarography and cyclic voltammetry on a Hg-electrode in THF solution. It has been suggested that carbocationic center-directed reversible two-electron reduction of1 ⁺–4 ⁺ takes place according to an ECE-mechanism and results in the carbanionic complexes [Cp₂M₂(CO)₄--²:³-(HCCCR¹R²)] (1 ^––4 ^–) as final productsvia carbon-centered radicals as intermediates. Anions1 ^–-4 ^– are capable of irreversible two-electron reduction at more negative potentials or protonation resulting in their transformation into the corresponding acetylene complexes [Cp₂M₂(CO)₄(HCCCHR¹R²)], which are also capable of irreversible two-electron reduction. Anions1 ^––4 ^– and their protonated forms are reduced with cleavage of the Mo-Mo bond. The reduction pathways of complexes1 ⁺,2 ⁺, and4 ⁺ with C-H bonds at the carbon atom of the carbocationic center are different on a Pt-electrode. It is suggested that this difference is due to the abstraction of a H-atom from the intermediate radical species by platinum.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

氧心羧桥异三核过渡金属簇合物[Fe2MO(CH3COO)6Py3].Py(1,M=Mn;2,M=Co;3,M=Ni)和[Fe2MO(CCl3COO)6(THF)3](4,M=Mn;5,M=Co;6,M=Ni)电子光谱的研究

The UV/VIS spectra for pyridine solution of complexes [Fe_2MO(CH_3COO)_6Py_2]·Py and THF solution of complexes Fe_2MO(CCl_3COO)_6(THF)_3 were studied. The d-d transitions were assigned and the ligand field parameters(B,D_q,β) were calculated for the related metal ions according to ligand field theory (Tanabe-Sugano diagram) in terms of O_h symmetry and reasonably good fits were obtained for the calculated and observed frequencies. The calculated results show that (1) the larger the ionic potential for M~(2+) ion, the larger the values of B, D_q for Fe~(3+) ion (2) the ligand field parameters of metal ions vary in parallel with the electronagativity of R in RCOO~-.     

Spectroscopic properties of [M(CN)5py]n− complexes [M  Fe(II), Co(III); py = pyridine]

The IR, electronic and NMR spectra of K₂[Co(CN)₅py]·H₂O and Na₃[fe(CN)₅py]·3H₂O, as well as the Mössbauer spectrum of the latter complex, are reported and discussed. In particular it is argued that the wavenumbers and intensities of the i.r.-active CN stretching vibrations and the NMR chemical shifts of the m- and p-but not o-protons suggest greater metal to ligand back π-bonding in the Fe(II) complex than in the Co(III) complex.     

Koordinationschemie tripodaler Triisocyanid-Liganden: Synthese von Komplexen des Typs CH3C[CH2NC-M(CO)x]3 (M = Cr,W, χ = 5; M = Fe, χ = 4) und Kristallstruktur von CH3C[CH2NC-W(CO)5]3

The triisocyanide ligand CH₃C(CH₂NC)₃, time, reacts with metal carbonyls M(CO)_x (M = Cr, W, χ = 6; M = Fe, χ = 5) to give the triply metal carbonyl substituted complexes CH₃C[CH₂NCM(CO)_x]₃ (M = Cr, W, χ = 5; M = Fe, χ = 4). CH₃C[CH₂NCW(CO)₅]₃ was characterized by an X-ray structure determination.     

Penta- and hexaphospha ferrocenes as ligands: crystal and molecular structures of [Fe(η5-P3C2tBu2)2W(CO)5], [Fe(η5-P3C2tBu2)(η5-P2C3tBu3)W(CO)5] and the novel triruthenium carbonyl cluster complex [Fe(η5-P3C2tBu2)2Ru3(CO)10] containing two interlinked η5-P3C2tBu2 ring systems

The lone-pair electrons of one of the two directly bonded phosphorus atoms of the P₃C₂^tBu₂ ring in the penta- or hexaphosphaferrocene complexes [Fe(η⁵-P₃C₂^tBu₂)(η⁵-P₃C₂^tBu₃)] and [Fe(η⁵P₃ C₂^tBu₂)₂] can ligate to other metal centres to afford novel bi- and tetrametallic complexes, whose structures have been elucidated by NMR and single crystal X-ray crystallographic studies.     

Synthesis and electrical properties of variable-composition phases Rb1 − x A1 − x R1 + x (MoO4)3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2; A = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni; R = Sc, Yb, Lu)

Subsolidus region of the ternary systems Rb₂MoO₄-AMoO₄-R₂(MoO₄)₃, in which variable-composition phases Rb_{1 ? x} A_{1 ? x} R_{1 + x} (MoO₄)₃ crystallizing in the monoclinic system (space group C2) are formed, was studied. Their crystallographic parameters were calculated; temperature dependences of the electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss tangent were analized.     

Synthesis,structure, and electrochemical properties of [M(N-MeIm)6]2+ (M = Ni,Co, Cu) associated with [HgCl4]2−

Reaction of Hg(NO₃)₂ with 4 equivalent KI in water afford K₂[HgI₄]. By using K₂[HgI₄] as the precursor, three new heterobimetallic compounds [Ni(N-MeIm)₆][HgI₄] (I), [Co(N-MeIm)₆][HgI₄] (II), and [Cu(N-MeIm)₆][HgI₄] (III) have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, and the singlecrystal X-ray crystallorgraphy analysis. Three complexes are isomorphous and crystallized in monoclinic symmetry space group P2₁/c. The coordination around each center metal(II) atom is octahedral with six nitrogen atoms of N-MeIm ligand. Each structure contains one tetrahedral [HgI₄]^2? as an anion to balance the charge of the molecular. Thermogravimetry analysis indicates these complexes have the similar departure process and cyclic voltammogram exhibits a significant pair of redox peaks.     

The reactions of [Fe2(η-Cp)2(CNAr)4] complexes with halogens and tin(II) halides

Summary [Fe₂(-Cp)₂(CNAr)₄] (2) (540-01, C₆H₄Me-2, C₆H₄Et-2, C₆H₃Me₂-2,4, C₆H₃Me₂-2,6, C₆H₃(Me)Et-2,6, C₆H₃Et₂-2,6 or C₆H₃ i-Pr₂-2,6) react with I₂ to give [Fe(-Cp)(CNAr)₂I], but with Br₂[Fe(-Cp) (CNAr)₃]⁺ salts are the only products; IBr gives a mixture of the two. With SnX₂ (X = F, Cl, Br or I) in refluxing n-butanol, (2) gives isolable [{Fe(-Cp)(CNAr)₂}₂SnX₂] only when the CNAr ligands have two ortho substituents, otherwise decomposition occurred. When X = F, [Fe(-Cp) (CNAr)₂SnF₃] was also obtained from this reaction. Attempts to prepare [Fe(-Cp)(CNAr)₂X] (X = Cl or Br) by reaction of (2) with HX in the presence of air gave rather unstable products which with SnX₂ formed [Fe(-C₅H₅)-(CNAr)₂SnX₃]. Similar compounds, [Fe(-Cp) (CNAr)₂ SnX₂I], were obtained from [Fe(-Cp)-(CNAr)₂I] and SnX₂ (X = Cl or Br but not I). All of these complexes are much less stable than their Fe(-Cp)(CO)₂ counterparts; all decompose in solution to [Fe(-Cp)(CNAr)₃]⁺ which then break down to unidentified species. X-ray diffraction studies show that in [Fe(-Cp)(CNC₆H₃-i-Pr₂-2,6)₂I] and [{Fe(-Cp)(CNC₆H₃Me₂-2,6)₂}₂SnBr₂] there is pseudo-octahedral coordination about Fe. In the latter there is also distorted tetrahedral coordination about Sn so that its structure is very similar to that of [{Fe(-Cp)(CO)₂}₂SnCl₂]. Spectroscopic studies show that in all complexes rotation of the aryl rings of the CNAr ligands cannot be slowed in solution, and that there is free rotation about all 540-02 bonds.     

Homoleptic 1-D iron selenolate complexes-synthesis, structure, magnetic and thermal behaviour of (1)(∞)[Fe(SeR)2] (R=Ph, Mes)

The first examples of polymeric homoleptic iron chalcogenolato complexes (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)] and (1)(∞)[Fe(SeMes)(2)] (Ph = phenyl = C(6)H(5), Mes = mesityl = C(6)H(2)-2,4,6-(CH(3))(3)) have been both prepared by reaction of [Fe(N(SiMe(3))(2))(2)] with two equivalents of HSeR (R = Ph, Mes) while (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)] was found to be also easily accessible through reactions of either FeCl(2), Fe(OOCCH(3))(2) or FeCl(3) with PhSeSiMe(3) in THF. In the crystal, the two compounds form one-dimensional chains with bridging selenolate ligands comprising distinctly different Fe-Se-Fe bridging angles, namely 71.15-72.57° in (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)] and 91.80° in (1)(∞)[Fe(SeMes)(2)]. Magnetic measurements supported by DFT calculations reveal that this geometrical change has a pronounced influence on the antiferromagnetic exchange interactions of the unpaired electrons along the chains in the two different compounds with a calculated magnetic exchange coupling constant of J = -137 cm(-1) in (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)] and J = -20 cm(-1) in (1)(∞)[Fe(SeMes)(2)]. In addition we were able to show that the ring molecule [Fe(SePh)(2)](12) which is a structural isomer of (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)] behaves magnetically similar to the latter one. Investigations by powder XRD reveal that the ring molecule is only a metastable intermediate which converts in THF completely to form (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)]. Thermal gravimetric analysis of (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)] under vacuum conditions shows that the compound is thermally labile and already starts to decompose above 30 °C in a two step process under cleavage of SePh(2) to finally form at 250 °C tetragonal PbO-type FeSe. The reaction of (1)(∞)[Fe(SePh)(2)] with the Lewis base 1,10-phenanthroline yielded, depending on the conditions, the octahedral monomeric complexes [Fe(SePh)(2)(1,10-phen)(2)] and [Fe(1,10-phen)(3)][Fe(SePh)(4)].     

Stable π-π dependent electron conduction band of TPP[M(Pc)L2]2 molecular conductors (TPP = tetraphenylphosphonium; M = Co, Fe; Pc = phthalocyaninato; L = CN, Cl, Br)

The partially-oxidized TPP[M(Pc)L(2)](2) molecular conductors exhibit variable electronic and magnetic transport bulk materials properties due to central metal and axial ligand molecular modifications. The controllable electrical conductivity and giant negative magnetoresistance can be mainly attributable to the varying ligand field energy and physical bulkiness of the axial ligands which cause modulation in the intra-molecular π-d (Pc-M) and inter-molecular π-π (Pc-Pc) interactions in the TPP[M(Pc)L(2)](2) system, respectively. Characterization of the electronic conduction band utilizing one-dimensional (1-D) tight-binding approximation from infrared reflectance and thermoelectric power profile reveal consistent band widths of 0.43 eV-0.62 eV for the Co series (L = Br < Cl < CN) and 0.44-0.56 eV for the Fe series (L = Br < Cl < CN). The fixed band width suggests that stable electron conduction bands (transport pathway) can be constructed which can withstand the molecular π-d interaction modifications that severely alter the bulk electronic and magnetic materials properties of the TPP[M(Pc)L(2)](2) molecular conductors.     

Electrophilic Substitution Co(II)→M(II) (M = Mn,Ni, Cu,Zn, Cd) in Co2[Fe(CN)6] Gelatin-Immobilized Matrices

Electrophilic substitutions Co(II) M(II) (M = Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) in cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrices in contact with aqueous solutions of corresponding chlorides MCl₂ were studied. As a result of this contact, Co(II) was shown to be replaced to some extent by Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), or Cd(II) and to give heteronuclear cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrates(II) and two-charge ions. A complete substitution of Co(II) or the formation the respective mononuclear hexacyanoferrate(II) M₂[Fe(CN)₂] was observed in neither of the studied systems Co(II) M(II). No Co(II) Mn(II) substitution was observed, even though the immobilized matrix was in contact with a solution for a long time.     

[2Fe2S]铁硫蛋白活性中心模型[Fe2S2(SR)4]2-(R=-H,-CH3)的局部自旋探讨

为了检验Davidson和Clark的局部自旋原理对铁硫蛋白簇合物的可行性,[Fe2S2(SR)4]2-(R=-H,-CH3)模型被选为研究对象.该目的可通过计算这些体系的局部自旋期望值〈SA.SB〉,〈S2A〉和mA,并讨论它们与Heisenberg自旋模型(HSM)和Noodleman对称破缺理论之间的联系来实现.在具体的计算中采用了自旋非限制Hartree-Fock(UHF)和自旋极化密度泛函(Spin-polarized DFT)方法,同时比较它们的计算质量.此外,采用多种方案计算了它们的交换耦合常数,并同前人的结果作了比较.     

The reactions of [Fe2(η-C5H5)2(CO)4−n(CNMe)n] (n = 0–4) complexes with halogens and mercury(II) salts

Halogens, X₂, and HgY₂ (X = Cl, Br, I; Y = X, F, NO₃, BF₄) cleave the metalmetal bonds in [Fe₂(η-C₅H₅)₂(CO)_4−n(CNMe)_n] complexes (n = 0–4). Typically, e.g., when n = 2, X₂ electrophiles give [Fe(η-C₅H₅)(CO)(CNMe)X] (a) and [Fe(η-C₅H₅)(CO)(CNMe)₂]X (b) in relative yields which depend on X, the reaction solvent and n, but HgY₂ give equimolar amounts of [Fe(η-C₅H₅)(CNMe)₂Y] (c and [Fe(η-C₅H₅)(CO)₂HgY] only. Hg(CN)₂ reacts more slowly than other HgY₂, and [Hg(PPh₃)₂I₂] does not react at all. It is suggested that the reactions which give rise to products of type (a), (b) or (c) are all two-electron oxidation which proceed by way of adducts containing μ-CA → X₂ or μ-CA → HgX₂ groups (Ca = CO or CNMe). One of these adducts has been isolated, namely [Fe₂(η-C₅H₅)₂(CNMe)₂{μ-CN(Me)HgCl₂}₂] · CHCl₃.
