103Rh-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis der gemischten Nonahalogenodirhodate(III), [Rh2ClnBr9–n]3−, n = 0–9

¹⁰³Rh NMR Spectroscopic Evidence of Mixed Nonahalogenodirhodates(III), [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9–n]^3?, n = 0–9 On heating a mixture of the tetrabutylammonium salts (TBA)₃[Rh₂Cl₉] and (TBA)₃[Rh₂Br₉] at 60°C in propylenecarbonate the complete system of the mixed nonahalogenodirhodates(III) [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9–n]^3?, n = 0–9 is formed. In the ¹⁰³Rh nmr spectra 40 different species have been detected, 16 with two equivalent ¹⁰³Rh atoms each resulting in one singlet and 24 with inequivalent ¹⁰³Rh atoms each pair giving two resonances. The signals of the geometric isomeres are not resolved. All 64 expected resonances are really observed. By additional measuring of the ¹⁰³Rh nmr spectra of the fractions n = 0–4 separable by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose, and utilizing characteristic increments of chemical shifts the complete and unambiguous assignment of all signals is achieved.     

Polyfluoroorganoboron‐Oxygen Compounds. 5 Feasible Routes to Perfluoroalkyltrimethoxyborates M[CnF2n+1B(OMe)3] (n ≥ 3)

A well applicable preparative method for lithium perfluoroalkyltrimethoxyborates, Li[C_nF_2n+1B(OMe)₃] (n = 3, 4, 6), was elaborated which is based on the reaction of B(OMe)₃ with C_nF_2n+1Li generated from C_nF_2n+1H and t‐BuLi. Alternative perfluoroalkylation reactions of B(OMe)₃ with perfluoropropyllithium generated from C₃F₇I and RLi, perfluoropropylmagnesium bromide, or perfluoropropyltrimethylsilane and potassium fluoride gave less satisfactory results for M[C₃F₇B(OMe)₃]. The conversion of M[C_nF_2n+1B(OMe)₃] salts (M = Li, BrMg) into K[C_nF_2n+1B(OMe)₃] salts and basic properties of the new salts are reported.

Metal Complexes with Anionic Ligands of Elements of the Main Group IV. IV. Homogenous and Heterogenous Transition Metal Complexes of the Dichlorobromo-, Dibromochloro-, and Tribromostannide Ligands Monosubstituted complexes of the type [M(CO)₅SnBr_3?nCl_n]^? are formed if the hexacarbonyls of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten are reacted with halogenostannide ions SnBr_3?nCl (n = 0, 1, 2). The reactions of dibenzene chromium and this stannide ions yield homogenous hexakis(trihalogenostannide)chromate(0) complexes [Cr(SnBr_3?nCl_n)₆]^6? (n = 1, 2). Both types of chromate(0) ions are isolated as salts with the cation [N(C₂H₅)₄]⁺. The behaviour of SnBr_3?nCl (n = 0–3) as ligands is discussed, the i. r. spectra of their metalcarbonyl derivatives are reported.

[Ph₃PCBrF₂]Br and [Bu₃PCBrF₂]Br react with R′₃P by trans-alkylation forming [R′₃PCBrF₂]Br. The factors influencing the course of the reaction are discussed.     

Darstellung und Schwingungsspektren von Chloro-Bromo-Dirhodaten(III), [Rh2ClnBr9−n]3−, n = 0–9

Preparation and Vibrational Spectra of Nonahalogenodirhodates(III), [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–9 The pure nonahalogenodirhodates(III), A₃[Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n], A = K, Cs, (TBA); n = 0–4, 9, have been prepared. They are formed from the monomer chlorobromorhodates(III), [RhCl_nBr_6-n]^3?, n = 0–6, which are bridged to confacial bioctahedral complexes by ligand abstraction in less polar organic solvents. From the mixtures the complexions are separated by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The solid, air-stable, air-stable, K-, Cs- and (TBA)-salts of [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–4, are green, of [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are brown. The IR and Raman spectra of [Rh₂Br₉]^3? and [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are assigned according to the point group D_3h. The chlorobromodirhodates exist as mixtures of geometrical and structural isomers, which belong to different point groups. The vibrational spectra exhibit bands in characteristic regions; at high wavenumbers stretching vibrations with terminal ligands v(Rh—Cl_t): 360–320, v(Rh—Br_t): 280–250; in a middle region with bridging ligands v(Rh—Cl_b): 300–270, v(Rh—Br_b): 210–170 cm^?1; the deformation bands are observed at distinct lower frequencies. The terminal ligands are fixed very strong, and the distance between v(Rh—X_t) and v(Rh—X_b) increases with decreasing size of the cations.     

Charge exchange and charge separation processes of [C3Hn]2+ and [C3Dn]2+ (n = 1–6) dications

The charge exchange and charge separation processes of a series of [C₃H_n]²⁺ and [C₃D_n]²⁺ (n = 1–6) dications have been investigated experimentally in a mass spectrometer of reversed geometry. The relative reaction cross-sections for charge exchange with nitrogen exhibited a 20-fold variation which has implications for the interpretation of 2E spectra with respect to dication relative intensities. Charge separation resulting in deprotonation was observed for all [C₃D_n]²⁺ species investigated, while de-deuteronation was observed for [C₃D_n]²⁺ (n = 1–4) only. Intercharge separations calculated from the observed ion kinetic energies released upon charge separation suggest linear structures for [C₃D_n]²⁺ and [C₃D_n]²⁺ (n = 1–2) and cyclic structures for [C₃D_n]²⁺ (n = 3–6) and [C₃D_n]²⁺ (n = 3–4).

The bond lengths are Pt–N = 2.088 ( 1 ), 2.105 ( 2 ) and Pt–Cl = 2.318 Å ( 2 ). The approximate linear azido ligands with N^α–N^β–N^γ‐angles = 173.5–174.6° are bonded with Pt–N^α–N^β‐angles = 116.4–121.0°.

Based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determinations the vibrational spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The average valence force constants are f_d(PtCl) = 1.93, f_d(PtN^α) = 2.38 and f_d(N^αN^β, N^βN^γ) = 12.39 mdyn/Å. In the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectrum of [Pt(N₃)_nCl_6–n]^2–, n = 0–6 downfield shifts with the increasing number of azido ligands are observed in the range 4766–5067 ppm. The ¹⁵N NMR spectrum of (n‐Bu₄N)₂[Pt(¹⁵NN₂)_n(N₂¹⁵N)_6–n], n = 0–6 exhibits by ¹⁵N–¹⁹⁵Pt coupling a pseudotriplett at –307.5 ppm. Due to the isotopomeres n = 0–5 for terminal ¹⁵N six well‐resolved signals with distances of 0.03 ppm are observed in the low field region at –201 to –199 ppm.

Insertion Reactions of [ReH(CO)5–n(PMe3)n] Complexes (n = 2–4) with aldehydes,CO2, and activated acetylenes

The complexes of the type [ReH(CO)_5–n(PMe₃)_n] (n = 4, 3) were reacted with aldehydes, CO₂, and RC?CCOOMe (R = H, Me) to establish a phosphine-substitutional effect on the reactivity of the Re–H bond. In the series 1–3 , benzaldehyde showed conversion with only 3 to afford a (benzyloxy)carbonyltetrakis(trimethylphosphine)rhenium complex 4 . Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde allowed reaction with all hydrides 1–3 . With 1 and 2 , the same dicarbonyl[(pyridin-2-yl)methoxy-O, N]bis(trimethylphosphine)rhenium 5b was formed with the intermediacy of a [(pyridin-2-yl)methoxy-O]-ligated species and extrusion of CO or PMe₃, respectively. The analogous conversion of 3 afforded the carbonyl[(pyridin-2-yl)methoxy-O,N]tris(trimethylphosphine)rhenium ( 1 ) 7b . While 1 did not react with CO₂, 2 and 3 yielded under relatively mild conditions the formato-ligated [Re(HCO₂)(CO)(L)(PMe₃)₃] species ( 8 (L = CO) and 9 (L = PMe₃)). Methyl propiolate and methyl butynoate were transformed, in the presence of 1 , to [Re{C(CO₂Me)?CHR}(CO)₃(PMe₃)₂] systems ( 10a (R = H), and 10b (R = Me)), with prevailing α-metallation and trans-insertion stereochemistry. Similarly, HC≡CCO₂Me afforded with 2 and 3 , the α-metallation products [Re{C(CO₂Me)?CH₂}(CO)(L)(PMe₃)₃] 11 (L = CO) and 12 (L = PMe₃). The methyl butyonate insertion into 2 resulted in formation of a mixture of the (Z)- and (E)-isomers of [Re{C(CO₂Me)?CHMe} (CO)₂(PMe₃)₃] ( 13a , b ). In the case of the conversion of 3 with MeC?CCO₂Me, a Re–H cis-addition product [Re{(E)-C(CO₂Me)?CHMe}(CO)(PMe₃)₄] ( 14 ) was selectively obtained. Complex 11 was characterized by an X-ray crystal-structure analysis.

The electronic, bonding, and photophysical properties of one‐dimensional [CuCN]_n (n = 1–10) chains, 2‐D [CuCN]_n (n = 2–10) nanorings, and 3‐D [Cu_n(CN)_n]_m (n = 4, m = 2, 3; n = 10, m = 2) tubes are investigated by means of a multitude of computational methodologies using density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent‐density‐functional theory (TD‐DFT) methods. The calculations revealed that the 2‐D [CuCN]_n (n = 2–10) nanorings are more stable than the respective 1‐D [CuCN]_n (n = 2–10) linear chains. The 2‐D [CuCN]_n (n = 2–10) nanorings are predicted to form 3‐D [Cu_n(CN)_n]_m (n = 4, m = 2, 3; n = 10, m = 2) tubes supported by weak stacking interactions, which are clearly visualized as broad regions in real space by the 3D plots of the reduced density gradient. The bonding mechanism in the 1‐D [CuCN]_n (n = 1–10) chains, 2‐D [CuCN]_n (n = 2–10) nanorings, and 3‐D [Cu_n(CN)_n]_m (n = 4, m = 2, 3; n = 10, m = 2) tubes are easily recognized by a multitude of electronic structure calculation approaches. Particular emphasis was given on the photophysical properties (absorption and emission spectra) of the [CuCN]_n chains, nanorings, and tubes which were simulated by TD‐DFT calculations. The absorption and emission bands in the simulated TD‐DFT absorption and emission spectra have thoroughly been analyzed and assignments of the contributing principal electronic transitions associated to individual excitations have been made. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Perfluormethyl-Element-Liganden. XVIII. Darstellung und spektroskopische Untersuchung von M(CO)5L und M(CO)4L2-Komplexen [L = MenP(CF3)3−n; n = 0–3; M = Cr,Mo, W]

Perfluoromethyl-Element-Ligands. XVIII. Preparation and Spectroscopic Investigation of M(CO)₅L and M(CO)₄L₂ Complexes [L = Me_nP(CF₃)_3?n; n = 0–3; M = Cr, Mo, W] M(CO)₅L and cis-M(CO)₄L₂ complexes, respectively [M = Cr, Mo, W; L = Me_nP(CF₃)_3?n; n = 0–3] are prepared reacting M(CO)₅ · THF or M(CO)₄norbor with L at room temperature. The cis-compounds isomerize above 50°C yielding the trans-complexes; the rate of isomerization increases with increasing number of CF₃ groups. Thermal reaction of M(CO)₆ (M = Cr, Mo, W) with P(CF₃)₃ yields M(CO)₅P(CF₃)₃ and trans-M(CO)₄[P(CF₃)₃]₂. Introduction of three P(CF₃)₃ ligands by reaction with M(CO)₃(cycloheptatriene) (M = Cr, Mo) proves unsuccessful; besides little M(CO)₅P(CF₃)₃ trans-M(CO)₄[P(CF₃)₃]₂ is formed. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (n.m.r., i.r., MS) methods.     

Synthese und Charakterisierung der Siloxialane [H2AlOSiMe3]n und [HAl(OtBu)(OSiMe3)]2 sowie Redoxreaktionen von [H2AlOSiMe3]n und [H2AlOtBu]2 mit einem Zinn(II)‐amid

Synthesis and Characterisation of the Siloxialanes [H₂AlOSiMe₃]_n and [HAl(O^tBu)(OSiMe₃)]₂ as well as the Use of [H₂AlOSiMe₃]_n and [H₂AlO^tBu]₂ as Reducing Agents for a Tin(II) Amide Following the synthesis of [H₂AlO^tBu]₂ ( 1 ) and [HAl(O^tBu)₂]₂ ( 2 ) the siloxialane [H₂AlOSiMe₃]_n ( 3 ) was synthesized and has been subject to single crystal X‐ray analysis for the first time. The molecule 3 is tetrameric (n = 4) in solution and polymeric (n = ∞) in the solid state. 3 is also obtained together with the siloxide [Al(OSiMe₃)₃]₂ ( 5 ) by the reaction of the aluminiumhydride with the double molar amount of trimethylsilanol. The expected monohydride [HAl(OSiMe₃)₂]₂ ( 4 ) was not formed. The heteroleptic monohydride [HAl(O^tBu)(OSiMe₃)]₂ ( 6 ) was synthesized by the reaction of 3 with an equimolar amount of tert‐butanol and was also generated by the addition of trimethylsilanol to an equimolar amount of the alkoxialane [H₂AlO^tBu]₂ ( 1 ). Compound 6 was characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. Additionally we investigated the reducing force of the dihydrides 1 and 3 towards the cyclic diazastannylene Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂Sn ( 7 ). In the course of this reaction Sn^II in 7 was reduced to elementary tin whereas the hydrides were oxidized to hydrogene. Tin is obtained in its β‐form as found by powder‐X‐ray diffraction. The shapes of the metal precipitates (porous, sponge‐like pieces or nanoscaled powders) depend on the conditions of reactions. Besides the elements the spirocyclic aminoalkoxialane [Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂AlO^tBu]₂ ( 8 ) or aminosiloxialane [Me₂Si(N^tBu)₂AlOSiMe₃]₂ ( 9 ) are formed. Structural details of the molecules 8 and 9 can be derived from single crystal X‐ray analyses.

Treatment of 6 with Li₂Biphen(Et₂O)₄ results in formation of [{Li(OEt₂)}₃V(Biphen)₃] ( 7 ) and with MesLi complexes [{Li(THF)₂}₂VMes(Biphen)₂] · THF ( 8 ) and [{Li(DME)}VMes₂(Biphen)] ( 9 ) are formed. Reacting [VCl₃(THF)₃] with LiOMes in 1 : 1 to 1 : 4 ratios yields the componds [VCl_3–n(OMes)_n(THF)₂] (n = 1 ( 5 b ), 2 ( 5 a ), 3 ( 5 )) and [{Li(DME)₂}V(OMes)₄] ( 5 c ), the latter showing thermochromism due to a complexation/decomplexation equilibrium of the solvated cation. The mixed ligand mesityl phenolate complexes [{Li(DME)_n}{VMes₂(OAr)₂}] (OAr = IPP ( 10 ), TBP ( 11 ), OMes ( 12 ) (n = 2 or 3) and [{Li(DME)₂}{VMes(OMes)₃}] ( 15 ) are obtained by reaction of 1 , 2 , 5 a and 5 with MesLi. With [{Li(DME)₂(THF)}{VMes₃(IPP)}] ( 13 ) a ligand exchange product of 10 was isolated. Addition of LiOMes to [VMes₃(THF)] forming [Li(THF)₄][VMes₃(OMes)] ( 14 ) completes the series of [Li(solv.)_x][VMes_4–n(OMes)_n] (n = 1 to 4) complexes which have been oxidised to their corresponding neutral [VMes_4–n(OMes)_n] derivatives 16 to 19 by reaction with p‐chloranile. They were investigated by epr spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1 , 3 , 5 , 5 a , 5 a – Br , 7 , 10 and 13 have been determined by X‐ray analysis. In 1 (monoclinic, C2/c, a = 29.566(3) Å, b = 14.562(2) Å, c = 15.313(1) Å, β = 100.21(1)°, Z = 8), 3 (orthorhombic, Pbcn, a = 28.119(5) Å, b = 14.549(3) Å, c = 17.784(4) Å, β = 90.00°, Z = 8), ( 5 ) (triclinic, P1, a = 8.868(1) Å, b = 14.520(3) Å, c = 14.664(3) Å, α = 111.44(1)°, β = 96.33(1)°, γ = 102.86(1)°, Z = 2), 5 a (monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 20.451(2) Å, b = 8.198(1) Å, c = 15.790(2) Å, β = 103.38(1)°, Z = 4) and 5 a – Br (monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 21.264(3) Å, b = 8.242(4) Å, c = 15.950(2) Å, β = 109.14(1)°, Z = 4) the vanadium atoms are coordinated trigonal bipyramidal with the THF molecules in the axial positions. The central atom in 7 (trigonal, P3c1, a = 20.500(3) Å, b = 20.500(3) Å, c = 18.658(4) Å, Z = 6) has an octahedral environment. The three Li(OEt₂)⁺ fragments are bound bridging the biphenolate ligands. The structures of 10 (monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 16.894(3) Å, b = 12.181(2) Å, c = 25.180(3) Å, β = 91.52(1)°, Z = 4) and 13 (orthorhombic, Pna2₁, a = 16.152(4) Å, b = 17.293(6) Å, c = 16.530(7) Å, Z = 4) are characterised by separated ions with tetrahedrally coordinated vanadate(III) anions and the lithium cations being the centres of octahedral and trigonal bipyramidal solvent environments, respectively.
