Cyclopentadienyl chromium and tungsten complexes with halide, methyl and σ-phenylethynyl ligands: Structures of (η-C5H5)Cr(NO)2(-CC-C6H5), (η-C5H5)Cr(NO)2I and [(η-C5H4)-COOCH3]W(CO)3Cl

With copper(I) iodide as catalyst, σ-alkynyls, compounds (η⁵-C₅H₅)Cr(NO)₂(CC-C₆H₅) (5), [(η⁵-C₅H₄)-COOCH₃]Cr(NO)₂(CC-C₆H₅) (10), and [(η⁵-C₅H₄)-COOCH₃]W(CO)₃(CC-C₆H₅) (13), were prepared from their corresponding metal chloride 1, 6 and 12. Structures of compound 3, 5 and 12 have been solved by X-ray diffraction studies. In the case of 5, there is an internal mirror plane passing through the phenylethynyl ligand and bisecting the Cp ring. The phenyl group is oriented perpendicularly to the Cp with an eclipsed conformation. The twist angle is 0° and 118.4° for -CC-Ph and two NO ligands, respectively. The orientation is rationalized in terms of orbital overlap between ψ₃ of Cp, dπ of Cr atom, and π^∗ of alkynyl ligand, and complemented by molecular orbital calculation. The opposite correlation was observed on the chemical shift assignments of C(2)-C(5) on Cp ring in compounds 6 and 12, using HetCOR NMR spectroscopy. The electron density distribution in the cyclopentadienyl ring is discussed on the basis of ¹³C NMR data and compared with the calculations via density functional B3LYP correlation-exchange method.

Functionalised tetraarylstannanes Sn[C6H4-R]4 (R=-CH(CH2O)2, -CHO, -COOH, -CHN-NH-C6H3-2,4-(NO2)2, -CH2OH, -CO-NH-CH2-COO-CH3, -CH[N(C2H4)2O]2)

Unsaturation in binuclear cyclopentadienylchromium carbonyl thiocarbonyls: Viability of (η-C5H5)2Cr2(CS)2(CO)3 in contrast to (η-C5H5)2Cr2(CO)5

The cyclopentadienylchromium carbonyl thiocarbonyls Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)_n (n = 4, 3, 2, 1) have been studied by density functional theory using the B3LYP and BP86 functionals. The lowest energy Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₄ structure can be derived from the experimentally characterized unbridged Cp₂Cr₂(CO)₆ structure by replacing the two terminal carbonyl groups furthest from the Cr-Cr bond with two terminal CS groups. The two lowest energy Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₃ structures have a single four-electron donor η²-μ-CS group and a formal Cr-Cr single bond of length ∼3.1 Å. In contrast to the carbonyl analogue Cp₂Cr₂(CO)₅ these Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₃ structures are viable with respect to disproportionation into Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₄ and Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₂ and thus are promising synthetic targets. The lowest energy Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₂ structures have all two-electron donor CO and CS groups and short CrCr distances around ∼2.3 Å suggesting the formal triple bonds required to give the chromium atoms the favored 18-electron configurations. These Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₂ structures are closely related to the known structure for Cp₂Cr₂(CO)₄. In addition, several doubly bridged structures with four-electron donor η²-μ-CS bridges are found for Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO)₂ at higher energies. The global minimum Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO) structure is a triply bridged triplet with a CrCr triple bond (2.299 Å by BP86). A higher energy singlet Cp₂Cr₂(CS)₂(CO) structure has a shorter Cr-Cr distance of 2.197 Å (BP86) suggesting the formal quadruple bond required to give each chromium atom the favored 18-electron configuration.

Synthesis, crystal structure, and biological activity of the binuclear complex [Pr2(C10H9N2O4)2(C7H5O3)4(H2O)2] · 2H2O

A novel binuclear praseodymium(III) complex with N-(2-propionyl)salicyloylhydrazone (C₁₀H₁₀N₂O₄, H₃L) and p-hydroxybenzoic acid (C₇H₆O₃, Phba) was prepared in a H₂O-C₂H₅OH mixed solution, and the crystal structure of [Pr₂(H₂L)₂(Phba)₄(H₂O)₂] · 2H₂O (I) was determined by X-ray single crystal diffractometry. Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, a = 1.1050(4), b = 1.9534(7), c = 1.2376(4) ?, β = 94.955(7)°, and Z = 4. In the structure each Pr³⁺ ion lies in a single capped square antiprism geometry coordinated by carboxyl O and acyl O atoms and azomethine N atom of one ligand (H₂L⁻ form), which coordinates via the keto form, four carboxyl O atoms from two Phba, and O atoms of two water molecules. In each molecule, two tridentate ligands were coordinated by the H₂L⁻ form, and each Pr³⁺ ion was chelated by the carboxyl group from Phba. The carboxyl groups of H₂L⁻ and other two Phba were coordinated via μ₂-bridging form and bidentate bridging form, respectively. Complex I and ligands Phba and H₃L were also searched for biological activity against Valsa mali by the growth rate method. The result showed that the inhibitory rate of ligands Phba and H₃L is better than complex I, especially Phba.

The compound [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-Cl)(μ-AuPPh₃)] (2) was prepared from the reaction between [Os₃(CO)₁₀(NCMe)₂] (1) and [AuClPPh₃] under mild conditions. The reaction of 2 with 4-mercaptopyridine (4-pyS) ligand yielded compounds [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-H)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (4), formed by isolobal replacement of the fragment [AuPPh₃]⁺ by H⁺ and [Os₃(CO)₁₀(μ-AuPPh₃)(μ-SC₅H₄N)] (5).

Transformation of C2 units on a bimetallic tetranuclear cluster.: Reactivity of [Ru3Mo(μ3-η-CC)(μ-CO)3(CO)2(η-C5H4R)3(η-C5H5)] (R = H, Me)

The reactivity of [Ru₃Mo(μ₄-η²-CC)(μ-CO)₃(CO)₂(η-C₅H₄R)₃(η-C₅H₅)] (R = H; Me) have been investigated, initially to elucidate the nature of the starting material, and, latterly, to define the reactivity of an interesting ethane-1,2-bis(ylidyne) species. While the mixed RuMo clusters were unreactive towards simple electrophiles and carbonyl substitution by phosphine ligands they did react with atmospheric oxygen or carbon monoxide to give substantially different products. In all instances oxygen was incorporated either at the metal centre or at the C₂ fragment. High-pressure carbonylations yielded [Ru₃(μ-CO)₃(η-C₅H₅)₃(μ₃-C-C(O)O{Ru(CO)₂(η-C₅H₅)})] and [{Ru₂(μ-CO)(CO)₂(η-C₅H₄Me)₂}(μ₄-η²-CC){Ru(CO)(η-C₅H₄Me)Mo(η-C₅H₅)(=O)(μ-O)}], an ethane-1,2-bis(ylidene) complex, this exemplifying a relatively rare raft geometry which further reacted with Cl₂CCCl₂ to give [Mo₃(μ₄-C₂(Ru(CO)₂(η-C₅H₄Me))(CO)(μ-CO)(η-C₅H₅)₃(Cl)₂] having a similar geometry and undergone halogenation. In order to extend the extant examples of these raft clusters we explored the reaction of [{Ru(CO)₂(η-C₅H₄R)₂}₂(μ-C₂)] with [{Ru(CO)₂(η-C₅H₅)₂}₂] to provide a rational synthetic pathway leading to very reactive [Ru(μ₄-η²-CC)(μ₂-CO)₂(CO)₄(η-C₅H₄Me)₂(η-C₅H₄R)₂] rafts.
