31Cl NQR spectra of compounds in Cl3CCH2CXRR' series

In molecules in the series Cl₃CCH₂CClRR', the substituents R and R' virtually do not affect the chlorine atoms of the Cl₃C group, while the NQR frequency of the chlorine atom of the CClRR' group correlates satisfactorily with the ^* constants of these substituents. The regularities observed in the mutual influence of the atoms in the molecules of the studied series indicate that the previously assumed structure of some products of radical telomerization of Cl₃CH with H₂C=CHCl is erroneous.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 773–776, April, 1990.     

[Co4P2(PtBu2)2(CO)8] und [{Co(CO)3}2P4tBu4] aus Co2(CO)8 und tBu2P–P=P(Me)tBu2

Coordination Chemistry of P‐rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. XIX. [Co₄P₂(P^tBu₂)₂(CO)₈] and [{Co(CO)₃}₂P₄^tBu₄] from Co₂(CO)₈ and ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ Co₂(CO)₈ reacts with ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ yielding the compounds [Co₄P₂(P^tBu₂)₂(CO)₈] ( 1 ) and [{η^2tBu₂P=P–P=P^tBu₂}{Co(CO)₃}₂] ( 2 a ) cis, ( 2 b ) trans. In 1 , four Co and two P atoms form a tetragonal bipyramid, in which two adjacent Co atoms are μ₂‐bridged by ^tBu₂P groups. Additionally, two CO groups are linked to each Co atom. In 2 a and 2 b , each of the Co(CO)₃ units is η²‐coordinated to the terminal P₂ units resulting in the cis‐ and trans‐configurations 2 a and 2 b . 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnnm (No. 58) with a = 879,41(5), b = 1199,11(8), c = 1773,65(11) pm. 2 a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with a = 875,97(5), b = 1625,36(11), c = 2117,86(12) pm, β = 91,714(7)°. 2 b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 (No. 2) with a = 812,00(10), b = 843,40(10), c = 1179,3(2) pm, α = 100,92(2)°, β = 102,31(2)°, γ = 102,25(2)°.     

Thermal decomposition of a series of tetranuclear carbonyl clusters Rh4(CO)12, Rh2Co2(CO)12, RhCo3(CO)12 and Co4(CO)12

Decarbonylation of the unsupported clusters Rh₄(CO)₁₂, Rh₂Co₂(CO)₁₂, RhCo₃(CO)₁₂ and Co₄(CO)₁₂ in a stream of hydrogen has been investigated by temperature programmed decomposition. Kinetic parameters for the thermal decomposition are presented, and the stabilities of the clusters are discussed. The profile for evolution of CO from Rh₄(CO)₁₂ indicates that a stable intermediate is formed. In all four cases methane is formed stepwise until most of the CO groups are evolved.     

Phosphido cobalt carbonyl clusters Pn[Co(CO)3]4−n (n = 1, 2, 3)

The P_n[Co(CO)₃]_4?n (n = 1, 2, 3) tetrahedral clusters have been prepared and characterized. The very unstable PCo₃(CO)₉ can be stabilized in the form of (CO)₄FePCo₃(CO)₉     

Electronic structure and reactivity of X2Co2(CO)6 (X2  RC2R′, P2, As2) and RxR′ 6-xC6Co2(CO)4 radical anions

Radical anions of the dinuclear species X₂Co₂(CO)₆ (X₂  P₂, As₂, RC₂R′) and R_x,R′_6-xC₆CO₂(CO)₄ have been characterized by electrochemical and ESR methods. The frozen solution spectra could be analysed in unusual detail to evaluate the g and hyperfine tensor components and these data allow definitive statements to be made about the directional nature and orbital character of the unpaired electron density. Most of the RC₂R′Co₂(CO)₆^? radical anions decay to monomeric paramagnetic species.     

Salts of the cobalt(I) complexes [Co(CO)5]+ and [Co(CO)2(NO)(2)]+ and the Lewis acid-base adduct [Co2(CO)7CO--B(CF3)3

The reaction of [Co(2)(CO)(8)] with (CF(3))(3)BCO in hexane leads to the Lewis acid-base adduct [Co(2)(CO)(7)CO--B(CF(3))(3)] in high yield. When the reaction is performed in anhydrous HF solution [Co(CO)(5)][(CF(3))(3)BF] is isolated. The product contains the first example of a homoleptic metal pentacarbonyl cation with 18 valence electrons and a trigonal-bipyramidal structure. Treatment of [Co(2)(CO)(8)] or [Co(CO)(3)NO] with NO(+) salts of weakly coordinating anions results in mixed crystals containing the [Co(CO)(5)](+)/[Co(CO)(2)(NO)(2)](+) ions or pure novel [Co(CO)(2)(NO)(2)](+) salts, respectively. This is a promising route to other new metal carbonyl nitrosyl cations or even homoleptic metal nitrosyl cations. All compounds were characterized by vibrational spectroscopy and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Metal-metal and metal-ligand vibrational interaction in compounds of the Fe3EE'(CO)9 (E, E' = S, Se, Te) series and the low-frequency vibrational spectra of Co2FeS(CO)9 and Os3S2(CO)9

The infrared and Raman spectra of the title compounds in the ca. 400-150 cm-1 region are reported. For the first time, detailed assignments are given for all of the features in this region for the first series of compounds. An attempt is made to extend to all of the modes the plastic cluster model of vibrational analysis, which is normally applied only to nu(M-M) vibrations. While mixing occurs between nu(Fe-Fe) and nu(Fe-E), species containing Te posed particular problems; the reasons for this are discussed and give new insights into the plastic cluster model itself.     

Thermal transformations of complexes Co2(μ-OOCBut)4(NEt3)2 and Co3(μ-OOCBut)2(μ-OOCBut)4(NEt3)2

The features of thermal transformations of trimethylacetatocobalt complexes Co₂(μ-OOCBu^t)₄(NEt₃)₂ and Co₃(μ-OOCBu^t)₂(μ-OOCBu^t)₄(NEt₃)₂ with attendant geometric alterations are considered as dependent on temperature on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetochemical, and thermochemical investigations.     

Übergangsmetall-Silyl-Komplexe, 44. Darstellung der zweikernigen Silyl-Komplexe (CO)3(R3Si)Fe(μ-PR′R′′)Pt(PPh3)2 durch oxidative Addition von (CO)3(R′R′′HP)Fe(H)SiR3 an (C2H4)Pt(PPh3)2

Transition Metal Silyl Complexes, 44. — Preparation of the Binuclear Silyl Complexes (CO)₃(R₃Si)Fe(μ-PR′R′′)Pt(PPh₃)₂ by Oxidative Addition of (CO)₃(R′R′′HP)Fe(H)SiR₃ to (C₂H₄)Pt(PPh₃)₂ The complexes (CO)₃(R′R′′HP)Fe(H)SiR₃ ( 1 ) [PHR′R′′ = PHPh₂, PH₂Ph, PH₂Cy; SiR₃ = SiPh₃, SiPh₂Me, SiPhMe₂, Si(OMe)₃] react with Pt(C₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂ to give the dinuclear, silyl-substituted complexes (CO)₃(R₃Si)Fe(μ-PR′R′′)Pt(PPh₃)₂ ( 2 ) in high yields. Upon reaction of 2 (R = R′ R′′ = Ph) with CO, the PPh₃ ligand at Pt being trans to the PPh₂ bridge is exchanged, and (CO)₃(Ph₃Si)Fe(μ-PPh₂)Pt(PPh₃)CO ( 3 ) is formed. Complex 3 is characterized by an X-ray structure analysis. The rather short Fe — Si distance [233.9(2) pm] and the infrared spectrum of 3 indicate that the Fe — Pt bond is quite polar.     

Non additivity of ligand effects on 59Co NMR chemical shifts in Co(III) complex compounds

⁵⁹Co chemical shift in a number of Co(III) complexes of the type CoA_6-xB_x(x = 0–6, A and B denote corresponding ligators) containing mono- and/or bidentate ligands, was measured. In almost all cases studied it was found that chemical shift appear at lower field than expected on the basis of the Rule on Additivity of Ligand Effects on ⁵⁹Co chemical shift. The non additivity of the ligand effects on ⁵⁹Co chemical shift has been discussed in terms of ligand field theory. It was shown that negative deviations from additivity has to be expected.     

Preparation and Characterization of an Unusual Di-Cobalt Complex; X-Ray Crystal Structure of Co(CO)2(μ-CO)(μ:η2,η4-C4Ph4)Co(CO)2(PPh3)

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.
