Nitrido Complexes of Transition Metals

In the past decade new syntheses and numerous structural determinations have enlivened studies in the still relatively young field of nitrido-transition-metal complexes. Aside from the terminal function of the nitrido ligand M?N:, this group also occurs as linear μ₂-bridging ligand in symmetric and asymmetric coordination; examples are known with almost right-angled bridge function; and, finally, it also functions as μ₃-bridging ligand. Accordingly, the fresh impulses given to synthetic chemistry by nitrido complexes are also many-sided: such complexes are used, inter alia, for the preparation of phosphaniminato and thionitrosyl complexes as well as for the synthesis of metallaheterocycles of the type MN₃S₂ and MN₃P₂ with delocalized π-systems. In technetium chemistry complexes with terminal nitrido group are employed as radiopharmaceuticals, and, owing to the strong trans influence of the M?N: group, nitrido complexes of molybdenum are suitable as catalysts in olefin metathesis. Finally, nitrido complexes are also of wide interest in theoretical studies.     

Trifluorophosphine Complexes of Transition Metals

The present paper deals with a new class of inorganic coordination compounds, the first member of which, tetrakis(trifluorophosphine)nickel(0), was discovered in 1951. Not only have the neutral metal(0) trifluorophosphines been prepared, but also a number of their derivatives (trifluorophosphinemetal hydrides and trifluorophosphinemetallates, as well as nitrosyl, carbonyl, halogeno, and aromatic trifluorophosphine complexes). These compounds have been characterized by their chemical behavior and by spectroscopic and magnetochemical studies. Trifluorophosphine has the strongest π-acceptor properties of all neutral ligands, and is therefore particularly suitable for the stabilization of unusually low oxidation states (zero and negative) of transition metals.     

Methyl Complexes of the Transition Metals

Organometallic chemistry can be considered as a wide area of knowledge that combines concepts of classic organic chemistry, that is, based essentially on carbon, with molecular inorganic chemistry, especially with coordination compounds. Transition‐metal methyl complexes probably represent the simplest and most fundamental way to view how these two major areas of chemistry combine and merge into novel species with intriguing features in terms of reactivity, structure, and bonding. Citing more than 500 bibliographic references, this review aims to offer a concise view of recent advances in the field of transition‐metal complexes containing M?CH₃ fragments. Taking into account the impressive amount of data that are continuously provided by organometallic chemists in this area, this review is mainly focused on results of the last five years. After a panoramic overview on M?CH₃ compounds of Groups 3 to 11, which includes the most recent landmark findings in this area, two further sections are dedicated to methyl‐bridged complexes and reactivity.     

New Cyclosiloxanolate Cluster Complexes of Transition Metals

New cyclosiloxanolate transition metal cluster complex derivatives were prepared. PhSiO₂K reacted with NiX₂ (X₂ = Cl₂ or acac) to give K₂{[η⁶−(PhSiO₂)₆]₂[μ₃−(OH)]₂Ni₄K₄}, a mixed group 1–group 10 metal complex. PhSiO₂Na reacted with Ni(NH₃)₆I₂ to give Na{[η⁶−(PhSiO₂)₆]₂Ni₆(μ₆−I)} as the first example of “encapsulated” I⁻ ion in siloxanolate complexes. The macrocyclic Na₄{[η¹²−(PhSiO₂)₁₂]Cu₄} complex reacted with η⁶−(1,3,5−C₇H₈)Cr(CO)₃ to give the heterobimetallic adduct Na₄{[η¹²−(PhSiO₂)₁₂]Cu₄}· [Cr(CO)₃]₃ as one of the rare examples of heterobimetallic complexes with different oxidation numbers of the metals. The copper derivative {[η⁶−(PhSiO₂)₆]₂Cu₆(n−BuOH)₅} reacted in MeOH/CHCl₃ (1:6) with Et₄NCN to give the hexanuclear complex {[η⁶−(PhSiO₂)₆]₂Cu₆(η²−C₃H₅N₂O₂)₂}, containing 2-amino-2-oxoetanimidic acid methyl ester monoanion ligands, product of an unexpected C–C coupling reaction. This latter complex was characterized also by X-ray diffraction crystal and molecular structure determination. This paper is dedicated to the 70th birthday of Professor Dr. Gunter Schmid (Essen), pioneer of large cluster chemistry, known to friends as GOLD-Schmid, because of his famous discovery of the Au₅₅ cluster. The Authors are proud to be within his many friends.     

Novel Cofacial Porphyrin-Based Homo- and Heterotrimetallic Complexes of Transition Metals

We present a straightforward and generally applicable synthesis route for cofacially linked homo- and heterotrimetallic trisporphyin complexes. The protocol encompasses synthesising the first aryl-based, trans-o-phenylene trisporphyrin starting from pyrrole and benzaldehyde with an overall yield of 3.6 %. It also allows investigating the respective cis-isomer as the first conformationally restricted planar-chiral trisporphyrin. The free-base ligand was used in subsequent metalation reactions to afford the corresponding homotrimetallic Mn(III)-, Fe(III)-, Ni(II)-, Cu(II)-, Zn(II)- and Pd(II) complexes – additionally, a small adaptation of the protocol resulted in the defined Ni(II)Fe(III)Ni(II) complex in a total yield of 2.3 %. By monitoring Ni(II) insertion into the empty trimeric ligands, we affirmed that the outer porphyrin rings are filled before the internal ring. The molecular species were characterised by ¹H NMR, UV-Vis, photoluminescence, IR, MS, CID, and high-resolution IMS measurements.     

Electrochemical Parametrization in Sandwich Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals

Applying the ligand electrochemical parameter approach to sandwich complexes and standardizing to the Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple, we obtained E(L)(L) values for over 200 pi-ligands. Linear correlations exist between formal potential (E degrees ) and the summation operatorE(L)(L) for each metal couple. In this fashion, we report correlation data for many first row transition metal couples. The correlations between the E(L)(L) of the substituted pi-ligand and the Hammett substituent constants (sigma(p)) are also explored.

The Polarographic Studies of Substituent Effects in Pyridine Complexes of Transition Metals

Polarographic reduction half-wave potentials for the series of inorganic complexes M(RC₅H₄N)₂Cl₂ (M=Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II); R=H, CH₃, NH₂, OH, CONH₃, CHO, COCH₂ COPh, Cl, Br and CH₂OH) are reported to show the substituent effects in these complexes. Consequently, the E_1/2 values correlated linearly with Hammett substituent parameters, the slope of the E_σ Vs σ plots evidently decreases in order of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II).

On the Reactivity of Disilylphosphido Complexes of Transition Metals Towards Acid Chlorides

Abstract

The first phosphaalkenyl complex Cp(CO)₂Fe-P=C (OSiMe₃)(t-Bu) was generated from Cp(CO)₂FeP(SiMe₃)₂ and t-Bu(CO)Cl. In order to test the validity of this synthetic approach, we varied the ring ligand (Cp, C₅Me₅), the metal (Fe, Ru, Os), the main group element (P, As), and the carbonyl chlorides. The diphosphenyl complexes (C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M-P=P-[2,4,6-t-Bu₃C₆H₂] were obtained from (C₅Me₅)(CO)₂M-P(SiMe₃)₂ and the corresponding phosphonous chloride. These metallated diphosphenes are easily converted to diphospho-ureas by treatment with Fe₂(CO)₉.     

Sandwich Complexes of the As42-Aromatic Ring with Some Transition Metals

The equilibrium geometries, energies, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and nuc- leus independent chemical shifts (NICS) of the new type sandwich structures [As4MAs4]n- (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Ru, Rh, Pd, Os, Ir and Pt; n = 0, 1 or 2) are investigated at the B3LYP level.All the [As4MAs4]n- species adopt staggered (D4d) conformations as their stable structures and eclipsed (D4h) conformations as their transition states, and once the sandwich complexes are formed, the As42- square properties remain unchanged.The NICS calculation confirms that the complexes of Fe, Co, and Ni are aromatic with negative NICS values, and those of Ru, Rh, and Ir exhibit slight aromaticity, while those of Pd, Os, and Pt show slight antiaromaticity.

Regulating Spin Dynamics of Nitronyl Nitroxide Biradical Lanthanide Complexes through Introducing Different Transition Metals

Four biradical-Ln complexes with different transition metal ions, namely [LnM(hfac)₅(NITPh-PyPzbis)] (M^II=Mn^II and Ln^III=Gd 1 , Dy 2 ; M^II=Ni^II and Ln^III=Tb 3 , Dy 4 ), were prepared by the reaction of Ln(hfac)₃ ⋅ 2H₂O, Mn(hfac)₂ ⋅ 2H₂O or Ni(hfac)₂ ⋅ 2H₂O with NITPh-PyPzbis biradical (hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate, NITPh-PyPzbis=5-(3-(2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-1,3-bis(1’-oxyl-3’-oxido- 4’,4’,5’,5’-tetramethyl-4,5-hydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene). In complexes 1 – 4 , the NITPh-PyPzbis biradical chelates one Ln^III ion by means of its aminoxyl moieties and the transition metal ion is introduced through the two N donors from the pyridyl pyrazolyl moiety. Magnetic investigations indicate that complex 4 displays visible maxima in frequency/temperature-dependent χ′′ signals with two-step relaxation processes, but complex 2 exhibits no slow magnetization relaxation. The comparison of structure parameters of both Dy complexes indicates that the symmetries of coordination spheres of two Dy ions are D_2d for 2 and C_2v for 4 , which thus probably results in different magnetic relaxation behaviors. This work provides new insight for improving properties of Ln-biradical based SMMs.
