Molecular structure and reactions of [RhH2(C6H5NCHCHNC6H5)(PPh3)2]PF6

The structure of [RhH₂(Ph-DAB)(PPh₃)₂]PF₆ (Ph-DAB = 1,4-phenyl-diaza-1,3-butadiene) has been determined. The complex crystallizes in space group P2₁/n of the monoclinic system, with 4 formula units in a cell of dimensions: a 15.136(1), b 17.842(1), c 17.363(1) Å, β 106.7(1)°. The structural data were refined by full matrix least squares methods to a conventional R index of 0.073 based on those 3309 reflections having I₀ > 3σ(I₀).The coordination polyhedron around the rhodium may be regarded as a distorted octahedron with two hydride hydrogen atoms in cis position and two phosphine ligands bent towards the hydrides, making an angle P¹RhP² of 159.4(1)°. The Ph-DAB acts as a σ,σ′,N,N′-chelating ligand with a planar NCCN skeleton in the same plane as the rhodium.The structure is consistent with the ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR data.

Synthesis of the cationic complexes [(C5H4CPh2)2Ru]2+ and [Ph2(HO)CC5H4RuC5H4CPh2]+. Molecular and crystal structures of [Ph2(HO)CC5H4RuC5H4CPh2]+[CF3SO3]− · CHCl3 and [C5H5RuC5H4CPh2]+PF6 −

The formation of the previously unknown [(C₅H₄CPh₂)₂Ru]²⁺ dication was established by¹H and¹³C NMR spectroscopy. This cation readiiy hydrolizes to form the monocation, [Ph₂(HO)CC₅H₄RuC₅H₄CPh₂]⁺. The latter was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structural analysis. For comparison, [C₅H₅RuC₅H₄CPh₂]⁺PF₆ ^? was also studied by X-ray structural analysis. The increase in the M-C_α distance and the decrease in the angle of inclination of the CPh₂ group to the metal atom in disubstituted ruthenocene compared to those in monosubstituted ruthenocene is related to the presence of a bulky substituent in the second Cp ligand and is likely due to the crystal packing effect. IR spectra and X-ray structural analysis attest to the existence of the OH ? OSO₂CF₃ hydrogen bond in crystals of the trifluoromethanesulfonate monocation.

The new organophosphorus proligand (OPPh₂)(O₂SMe)NR (R = C₆H₃Prⁱ ₂–2,6) (3) was prepared as a white crystalline solid by reacting the lithiated compound Li[Ph₂P(O)NR] with MeSO₂Cl in a 1:1 molar ratio. The precursor Ph₂P(O)NHR (1), as well as its thio analogue Ph₂P(S)NHR (2), were obtained in the reaction between the lithiated amine RNHLi and the corresponding organophosphorus chloride. All compounds were characterized by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1–3 were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A zigzag polymeric chain is formed in the crystals of 1 and 2 by hydrogen N–H···X (X = O, S) bonding, while the crystal of 3 contains discrete monomeric units with a syn–syn conformation of the O?P(C)₂–N–S(C)(?O)₂ skeleton.

Stereospecific and chemospecific interconversions of the rhenium alkylidene [(η-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(CHC6H5)]+PF6− and the alkylrhenium (η-C5H5)Re(NO)(PPh3)(CH(OCH3)C6H5)

Addition of methoxide to either geometric isomer of the benzylidene complex [(η-C₅H₅)Re(NO)(PPh₃)(CHC₆H₅)]⁺PF₆^? (1t, 1k) affords (η-C₅H₅)Re(NO)(PPh₃)(CH(OCH₃)C₆H₅ (2t, 2k) in which a new chiral center has been generated stereospecifically or with high stereoselectivity. Reaction of 2t and 2k with Ph₃C⁺PF₆^? results in the chemospecific abstraction of a methoxy group and the stereospecific regeneration of 1t and 1k, respectively.

Triorganoantimony and Triorganobismuth Disulfonates. Crystal and Molecular Structure of (C₆H₅)₃M(O₃SC₆H₅)₂(M = Sb, Bi) Triorganoantimony disulfonates R₃Sb(O₃SR′)₂ [R = CH₃ = Me, C₆H₅ = Ph; R′ = Me, CH₂CH₂OH, Ph, 4-CH₃C₆H₄.

O: 227.6(5), 228.0(4) pm]. Weak interaction of M with a second O atom of one sulfonate ligand is inferred from a rather short M? O contact distance [Sb? O: 327.4(4), Bi? O: 312.9(5) pm], and from the distortion of equatorial angles [C? Sb? C: 128.4(2), 119.2(2), 112.2(2); C? Bi? C: 135.9(3), 117.8(3), 106.3(3)°]

Zur Reaktion von NiCl2 mit PhP(SiMe3)2 Die Kristallstruktur von [Ni12Cl2(PPh)2(P2Ph2)4(PHPh)8]

Reaction of NiCl₂ with PhP(SiMe₃)₂, The Crystal Structure of [Ni₁₂Cl₂(PPh)₂(P₂Ph₂)₄(PHPh)₈] [Ni₁₂Cl₂(PPh)₂(P₂Ph₂)₄(PHPh)₈] ( 1 ) has been prepared by the reaction of NiCl₂ with PhP(SiMe₃)₂.

The terminal PHPh- and Cl-ligands are bound to Ni-atoms. The Ni₁₂-cluster can be described as an Ni₈-cube, in which four edges are bridged by Ni-atoms.     

Cyclopropene als komplexliganden. Cyclopropenthionkomplexe mit den gruppen Cr(CO)5 und (C5H5)Mn(CO)2

Diphenylcyclopropenethione and dithienylcyclopropenethione react with (acetonitrile)₃Cr(CO)₃ under mild conditions with formation of (C₃Ph₂S)Cr(CO)₅ and [C₃(C₄H₃S)₂S]Cr(CO)₅, respectively. Using (η⁵-C₅H₅)(THF)Mn(CO)₂ and diphenylcyclopropenethione a different type of complex with the stoichiometry (C₃Ph₂S)₂Mn(C₅H₅)(CO)₂ is obtained. A structure with a ligand containing two S bridges is proposed.     

Reactions of [ReN(Cl)(Me2PhP)2(HEt2tcb)] with Lewis Acids. Synthesis,Characterization and Structures of [Re(NBBr3)Br2(Me2PhP)3], [Re(NGaCl3)Cl(Me2PhP)2(H2Et2tcb)][GaCl4] and [Re{NB(C6F5)3}Cl(Me2PhP)2(HEt2tcb)] (H2Et2tcb=N,N-diethylthiocarbamoylbenzamidine)

Reactions of [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(HEt₂tcb)] (HEt₂tcb⁻=N,N-diethylthiocarbamoylbenzamidinate, Me₂PhP=dimethylphenylphosphine) with Lewis acidic compounds such as BBr₃, (C₆F₅)₃B or gallium(III) chloride yield nitrogen-bridged binuclear complexes with covalent bonds between the nitrido ligand and boron or gallium. The reactions go along with activation of the transition metal centre which can lead to ligand re-arrangements and reactions with solvent molecules.The reaction with BBr₃ results in cleavage of the bonds to the chelating ligand. [Re(NBBr₃)Br₂(Me₂PhP)₃] was isolated as the only product with a nitrido bridge. The bis-chelate [ReN(HEt₂tcb)₂] was formed as a side-product.Upon formation of a nitrido bridge to GaCl₃ the first co-ordination sphere of rhenium is retained. The co-ordinated thiocarbamoylbenzamidinate, however, undergoes protonation and is bonded as a neutral, bidentate ligand in the product [Re(NGaCl₃)Cl(Me₂PhP)₂(H₂Et₂tcb)][GaCl₄].In [Re{NB(C₆F₅)₃}Cl(Me₂PhP)₂(HEt₂tcb)], which can be obtained in good yield from the reaction of [ReN(Cl)(Me₂PhP)₂(HEt₂tcb)] with (C₆F₅)₃B, the co-ordination environment of the metal remains essentially unchanged.X-ray structural studies on the products suggest that the strong structural trans influence of the terminal nitrido ligand in the starting complex decreases significantly as a consequence of the formation of the N–B/Ga bonds. The rhenium–nitrogen multiple bond distances, however, remain almost unchanged.
