Abstract

The reaction of trans-RuCl₂(dppe)₂ (1), with AgBF₄ in tetrahydrofuran leads to abstraction of one of the halide ligands to produce the trigonal-bipyrimidal complex, [RuCl(dppe)₂]BF₄ (2). Both products are characterized by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy and their crystal structures determined. For the coordinatively unsaturated trigonal-bipyramidal complex (2), we found no evidence for the presence of more than one species or fluxional behaviour at room temperature in the ³¹P NMR spectrum. This complex was found to possess a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry in the solid state. Crystals of 1 are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c with a = 23.713(4)Å, b=11.156(1)Å, c = 17.595(2)Å, β=103.23(1) and v=4531(1)ų. Convergence to conventional R values of R=0.043 and R_w = 0.042 was obtained for 416 variable parameters and 2746 reflections with I>3σ(I).

Strukturuntersuchungen an den Oxidnitriden SrTaO2N,CaTaO2N und LaTaON2 mittels Neutronen‐ und Röntgenbeugung

Structural Investigations on the Oxidenitrides SrTaO₂N, CaTaO₂N and LaTaON₂ by Neutron and X‐ray Powder Diffraction The crystal structures of the perovskite related oxidenitrides SrTaO₂N, LaTaON₂ and CaTaO₂N have been determined with special regard to the structures of the respective anionic partial structure. The structure refinements were performed by individual Rietveld analyses of both X‐ray and neutron powder diffractograms and in addition by joint refinements in order to confirm the results. Both refinement methods yield consistent structure solutions. At least the first two compounds have fully ordered anionic sublattices. The crystal structure of SrTaO₂N has been solved in the space group I4/mcm (a = 5.7049(3) Å, c = 8.0499(5) Å, R_p = 0.0706, R_wp = 0.0904, reflections: 70 (neutrons)/36 (X‐ray), R(F²)(n) = 0.147, R(F²)(X) = 0.0952), with an ordered anionic partial structure. LaTaON₂ crystallizes monoclinic (C2/m, a = 8.0922(3) Å, b = 8.0603(2) Å, c = 5.7118(2) Å, β = 134.815(1)°, R_p = 0.0592, R_wp = 0.0766, reflections: 235(n)/113(X), R(F²)(n) = 0.0944, R(F²)(X) = 0.165) and also shows a totally ordered distribution of the anions. In the case of CaTaO₂N (Pnma, a = 5.6239(3) Å, b = 7.8954(4) Å, c = 5.5473(3) Å, R_p = 0.0503, R_wp = 0.0656, reflections 206(n)/110(X), R(F²)(n) = 0.0985, R(F²)(X) = 0.0405) slightly unbalanced displacement parameters (neutron data, ordered O/N distribution model) hint at a partial exchange of oxygen and nitrogen.     

Chemical Transformations of (2,3,9,10-Tetramethyl-1,4,5,7,8,11,12,14-Octa-Azacyclotetradeca-1,3,8,10-Tetraenato)Cobalt(II)Perchlorate

The monomeric octa-aza bis-α-diimine macrocyclic complex [Co^II(C₁₀H₂₀N₈)(H²O)](ClO₄)₂ I, undergoes various reactions on the macrocyclic ligand. Reaction of complex I with triethylamine in double molar proportions, followed by slow aerial oxidation, produces a molecular dimeric complex [Co^II(C₁₀H₁₄N₈)]₂, III, and a novel Co(I) complex [Co^I(C₁₀H₁₉N₈)], IV. Complex III is a staggered cofacial dimer with a cobalt-cobalt bond length 2.86(1) Å. The macrocyclic ligand of the complex contains an a-diimine function in each five-membered chelate ring, and a three-atom N-C-N^? delocalized system in each six-membered chelate ring. Complex IV has the 5-5-6-6 chelate arrangement because one α-diimine moiety is rearranged to a syn-anti configuration. In the structure, the two fused six-membered chelate rings are fully conjugated and the two fused five-membered rings are saturated. However, when complex I reacts with excess triethylamine under the similar conditions, a dimeric complex of another type, [Co^II(C₁₀H_l6N₈)]₂, II, was generated, in which one N-N bond of the macrocyclic ligand is broken. Complex IV can be isolated also from the reaction of complex I with excess hydrazine, followed by slow aerial oxidation. When hydrazine in double molar proportions was used, complex [Co^I(C₁₀H₁₇N₈)(NHNH)] V, which contains a coordinated diazene ligand, was obtained. Only one six-membered chelate ring of complex V is deprotonated and oxidized to form a three-atom N-C-N^? delocalized system. The structures of octa-aza complexes I-V are determined by X-ray crystallography: I, orthorhombic, C mca, a = 11.646(4), b = 17.049(3), c = 10.706(3) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.045, R_w = 0.047, based on 1024 reflections with I > 2σ(I); II, monoclinic, P 2₁/c, a = 9.814(3), b = 22.583(6). c = 14.632(9) Å, β = 98.90(5)°, Z = 4, R = 0.085, R_w = 0.101, based on 2033 reflections with I > 2σ(I); III, tetragonal, P 4/nmm, a = 15.614(3), c = 6.498(2) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.081, R_w = 0.115, based on 340 reflections with I > 2σ(I); IV, orthorhombic, P bca, a = 8.484(1), b = 16.662(3), c = 18.760(2) Å, Z = 8, R = 0.029, R_w = 0.024, based on 1441 reflections with I > 2σ(I); V, monoclinic, P 2₁/m, a = 7.892(3), b = 11.713(6), c = 9.326(4) Å, β = 108.03(3), Z = 2, R = 0.047, R_w = 0.056, based on 948 reflections with I > 2σ(I).

Carbamoyl complexes, (CO)₄Re(NH₂R)(CONHR)(R = ethyl, 1; R = allyl, 2; R = isopropyl, 3) were prepared by reactions of (CO)₅ReBr (or (CO)₅ReCH₂SiMe₃) with appropriate amines. Complexes 1, 2 and 3 reacted with CH₃CH₂COCl to give Re(CO)₅(NH₂R)⁺Cl^? (R = ethyl, 4; R = allyl, 5; R - isopropyl, 6). Complex 5 undergoes nucleophilic attack by KOMe to give the alkoxycarbonyl complexes (CO)₄Re(NH₂-Allyl)(COOMe), 7. Complexes 4, 5, 6 and 7 were transformed to the corresponding carbamoyl complexes by reacting with appropriate amines. The reactions between the carbamoyl complexes and R″OH/CHCl₃ in air at room temperature gave the proposed products [(CO)₄Re(NH₂R)]₂O (R = allyl, 8; R = isopropyl, 9), respectively. Complex 8 can also be prepared by heating 7 in CDCl₃ at 63–68°C for several days. The structure of 1 was confirmed by a X-ray crystallographic study.

2,6,9-Trioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-3,7-dienes and 2,4,6,8-Tetraoxaadamantanes: Novel Chiral Spacer Units in Macrocyclic Polyethers

The unusual chiral heterocyclic systems, trioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nona-3,7-dienes ("bridged bisdioxines"), are incorporated as novel spacer molecules into macrocyclic polyether ring systems of various sizes (8, 9 as well as 11-15) by cyclocondensation reaction of the bisacid chloride 4b or bisesters 6,7 and 10, with several ethylene glycols. The 2:2 macrocycles 12-14 are obtained in approximately 50:50 mixtures of diastereomers. These conclusions are mainly based on HPLC data presented in Table I as well as X-ray analyses of (1R,5R)-8c (space group Pbca, a =10.163(3) Å, b =18.999(4) Å, c =36.187(10) Å, V =6987(3) ų , Z =8, d _calc =1.218 g cm^{m 3}, 6974 reflections, R =0.0553), meso/rac-11 (space group P1 ¥ , a =10.472(5) Å, b=16.390(5) Å, c =17.211(5) Å, f =98.69(2)°, g =93.04(2)°, n =98.52(2)°, V =2879.3(18) Å 3 , Z =2, d _calc =1.173 g cm m 3 , 11,162 reflections, R =0.0945) and meso-12 (space group P2₁/c, a =9.927(2), b =18.166(3), c =17.820(3) Å, g =96.590(10)°, V =3192.3(10) Å 3 , Z =4, D _c =1.109 g cm^{m 3}, 3490 reflections, R =0.0646). The 1:1 macrocycles 8b,c are also formed by intramolecular transesterification of the open-chain bisesters 7b,c and their formation is favored by the use of metal ions as templates. The bridged bisdioxine moieties in 8b and 12 are converted into the corresponding chiral tetraoxaadamantane spacers to afford macrocycles 16 and 17. Preliminary metal ion complexation studies with selected species (8c, 11-14) were also performed.

Complex 1 contains a near perpendicular s-trans oxalyl moiety in the benzoylformyl ligand with the torsional angle O4-C4-C5-O5 being 104 (1)°. The iron complex suffers spontaneous decarbonylation at 25 °C to yield CpFe(COPh)(CO)₂.

Pb3Fe2F12: A new fluorometallate with a tetrameric structural unit

Pb₃Fe₂F₁₂ grown by hydrothermal synthesis, crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P1 , with a = 7.403(2) Å, b = 7.621(2) Å, c = 9.890(3) Å, α = 110.45(2)°, β = 107.98(1)°, γ = 95.92(2)°, V = 483.12(4) ų, Z = 2. The structure was solved from single crystal data using 3 913 independent reflections (R = 0.045 and R_w = 0.045). Characteristical of this structure is the presence of isolated tetrameric groups [Fe₄F₂₀]^8? in form of “rings” as previously observed in Ba₃Al₂F₁₂. “Independent” fluorine ions are also located and their cationic coordination is discussed. In contrast to Ba₃Fe₂F₁₂, all the rings are parallel in the structure.
