Synthese,Kristallstrukturen und quantenchemische Untersuchung von Verbindungen mit leiterartigem Al4P4‐ und hexagonal prismatischem Al6P6‐Grundgerüst

The reaction of AlCl₃ with Li₂PR (R = SiiPr₃, SiMeiPr₂) in a mixture of heptane and ether yields in the polycyclic compounds [(AlCl)₄(μ₃‐PR)₂(μ‐PR)₂(Et₂O)₂]( 1a : R = SiiPr₃; 1b : SiMeiPr₂) with a ladder‐shaped Al₄P₄ core. The coordination sphere of the outer aluminium atoms in these compounds is completed by ether ligands. In contrast, the reaction of AlCl₃ with Li₂PSiiPr₃ in pure heptane yields in the formation of the hexagonal prismatic compound [(AlCl)₆(μ₃‐PSiiPr₃)₆]( 2 ). 1 and 2 were characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis as well as by ³¹P{1H} and ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopy. The structure determining effect of the solvent can be rationalized by quantumchemical calculations, which also show that the hexagonal prismatic structure is the most stable of the investigated oligomers in absence of ether.

Some mono‐ and dinuclear Hydroxoiridium(I) Complexes The chloro‐bridged iridium(I) compound [Ir₂(μ‐Cl)₂(C₈H₁₄)₄] ( 1 ) reacts in the biphasic system benzene/water with KOH in the presence of [NEt₃(CH₂Ph)]Cl (TEBA) to give the corresponding dinuclear complex [Ir₂(μ‐OH)₂(C₈H₁₄)₄] ( 2 ). Stepwise substitution of the cyclooctene ligands by PiPr₃ and ethene affords via the intermediate [Ir₂(μ‐OH)₂(C₈H₁₄)₂(PiPr₃)₂] (isolated as a mixture of isomers 3 a , b ) the product [Ir₂(μ‐OH)₂(C₂H₄)₂(PiPr₃)₂] ( 4 ) in excellent yield. Reaction of 4 with PiPr₃in the molar ratio of 1:2 leads to the formation of the mononuclear compound trans‐[Ir(OH)(C₂H₄)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 5 ), the ethene ligand of which cannot be replaced by CPh₂ upon treatment with Ph₂CN₂.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Novel Chalcogenido‐bridged Niobium Copper Clusters In the presence of tertiary phosphines, the reaction of NbCl₅ and Copper(I) salts with Se(SiMe₃)₂ (E = S, Se) affords the new chalcogenido‐bridged niobium‐copper cluster compounds ( 1 ) and [NbCu₄Se₄Cl (PPh₃)₄] ( 2 ). Using E(R)SiMe₃ (E = S, Se, R = Ph, ⁿPr) instead of the bisilylated selenium species leads to the compounds [NbCu₂(SPh)₆(PMe₃)₂] ( 3 ), [NbCu₂(SPh)₆(PⁿPr₃)₂] ( 4 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PMe₃)₂] ( 5 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PⁿPr₃)₂] ( 6 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PⁱPr₃)₂] ( 7 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(P^tBu₃)₂] ( 8 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PⁱPr₂Me)₂] ( 9 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PPhEt₂)₂] ( 10 ), [Nb₂Cu₂(SⁿPr)₈(PⁿPr₃)₂Cl₂] ( 11 ) and [Nb₂Cu₆(SⁿPr)₁₂(PⁱPr₃)₂Cl₄]·2 CH₃CN ( 12 ·2 CH₃CN).

Synthese und Charakterisierung neuer cyclischer und käfigartiger Indium‐Phosphor‐ und Indium‐Arsen‐Verbindungen

Synthesis and Characterization of New Cyclic and Cage‐like Indium — Phosphorus and Indium — Arsenic Compounds The reaction of InEt₃ with H₂ESiiPr₃ initially yields the cyclic compound [Et₂InP(H)SiiPr₃]₂ ( 2 ). 2 appears as a mixture of cis and trans isomers and has been characterized by ³¹P‐NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. 2 decomposes in solution under elimination of ethane during a few days to form [EtInPSiiPr₃]₄ ( 3 ) with a cage‐like structure.

Central structural motif of 3 and 4 is an In₄E₄ heterocubane like structure (E = P, As), whereas the reaction of InEt₃ with H₂PSiMe₂Thex (Thex = CMe₂iPr) yields [EtInPSiMe₂Thex]₆ ( 5 ) with a hexagonal prismatic structure.     

Synthese und dynamisches Verhalten von [Rh2(μ-H)3H2(PiPr3)4]+. Beiträge zur Reaktivität des Tetrahydridodirhodium-Komplexes [Rh2H4(PiPr3)4]

Synthesis and Dynamic Behaviour of [Rh₂(μ-H)₃H₂(PiPr₃)₄]⁺. Contributions to the Reactivity of the Tetrahydridodirhodium Complex [Rh₂H₄(PiPr₃)₄] An improved synthesis of [Rh₂H₄(PiPr₃)₄] ( 2 ) from [Rh(η³-C₃H₅)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 1 ) or [Rh(η³-CH₂C₆H₅)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 3 ) and H₂ is described. Compound 2 reacts with CO or CH₃OH to give trans-[RhH(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 4 ) and with ethene/acetone to yield a mixture of 4 and trans-[RhCH₃(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 5 ). The carbonyl(methyl) complex 5 has also been prepared from trans-[RhCl(CO)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 6 ) and CH₃MgI. Whereas the reaction of 2 with two parts of CF₃CO₂H leads to [RhH₂(η²-O₂CCF₃) · (PiPr₃)₂] ( 8 ), treatment of 2 with one equivalent of CF₃CO₂H in presence of NH₄PF₆ gives the dinuclear compound [Rh₂H₅(PiPr₃)₄]PF₆ ( 9a ). The reactions of 2 with HBF₄ and [NO]BF₄ afford the complexes [Rh₂H₅(PiPr₃)₄]BF₄ ( 9b ) and trans-[RhF(NO)(PiPr₃)₂]BF₄ ( 11 ), respectively. In solution, the cation [Rh₂(μ-H)₃H₂(PiPr₃)₄]⁺ of the compounds 9a and 9b undergoes an intramolecular rearrangement in which the bridging hydrido and the phosphane ligands are involved.     

Der Dihydridoiridium(III)‐Komplex [IrH2Cl(PiPr3)2] als Molekülbaustein für unsymmetrische Rhodium–Iridiumund Iridium–Iridium‐Zweikernverbindungen

The Dihydridoiridium(III) Complex [IrH₂Cl(P i Pr₃)₂] as a Molecular Building Block for Unsymmetrical Binuclear Rhodium–Iridium and Iridium–Iridium Compounds The title compound [IrH₂Cl(PiPr₃)₂] ( 3 ) reacts with the chloro‐bridged dimers [RhCl(PiPr₃)₂]₂ ( 1 ) and [IrCl(C₈H₁₄)(PiPr₃)]₂ ( 5 ) by cleavage of the Cl‐bridges to give the unsymmetrical binuclear complexes 4 and 6 with Rh(μ‐Cl)₂Ir and Ir(μ‐Cl)₂Ir as the central building block. The reactions of 3 with the bis(cyclooctene) and (1,5‐cyclooctadiene) compounds [MCl(C₈H₁₄)₂]₂ ( 7 , 8 ) and [MCl(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)]₂ ( 9 , 10 ) (M = Rh, Ir) occur analogously and afford the rhodium(I)‐iridium(III) and iridium(I)‐iridium(III) complexes 11 – 14 in 70–80% yield. Treatment of [(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)M(μ‐Cl)₂IrH₂(PiPr₃)₂] ( 13 , 14 ) with phenylacetylene leads to the formation of the substitution products [(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)M(μ‐Cl)₂IrH(C≡CPh)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 15 , 16 ) without changing the central molecular core. Similarly, the compound [(η⁴‐C₈H₁₂)Rh(μ‐Br)₂IrH(C≡CPh)(PiPr₃)₂] ( 18 ) has been prepared; it was characterized by X‐ray crystallography.     

Mono‐ and Dinuclear Heteroleptic Cobalt Complexes with α‐Diimine and Polyarene Ligands

Reactions of the dimeric cobalt complex [(L^?Co)₂] ( 1 , L=[(2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃)NC(Me)]₂) with polyarenes afforded a series of mononuclear and dinuclear complexes: [LCo(η⁴‐anthracene)] ( 2 ), [LCo(μ‐η⁴:η⁴‐naphthalene)CoL] ( 3 ), and [LCo(μ‐η⁴:η⁴‐phenanthrene)CoL] ( 4 ). The pyrene complexes [{Na₂(Et₂O)₂}{LCo(μ‐η³:η³‐pyrene)CoL}] ( 5 ) and [{Na₂(Et₂O)₃}{LCo(η³‐pyrene)}] ( 6 ) were obtained by treating precursor 1 with pyrene followed by reduction with Na metal. These complexes contain three potential redox active centers: the cobalt metal and both α‐diimine and polyarene ligands. Through a combination of X‐ray crystallography, EPR spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility measurement, and DFT computations, the electronic configurations of these complexes were studied. It was determined that complexes 2 – 4 have a high‐spin Co^I center coupled with a radical α‐diimine ligand and a neutral polyarene ligand. Whereas, the ligand L in complexes 5 and 6 has been further reduced to the dianion, the cobalt remains in a formal (I) oxidation state, and the pyrene molecule is either neutral or monoanionic.     

Synthese,Röntgenstrukturanalyse und Multikern‐NMR‐spektroskopische Untersuchung einiger intramolekular stickstoffstabilisierter Bor‐, Aluminium‐ und Galliumorganyle

AlCl₃ and GaCl₃ react with Li(CH₂)₃NMe₂ or LiCH₂CHMeCH₂NMe₂ forming Cl₂AlCH₂CHMeCH₂NMe₂ ( 6 ), Cl₂Al(CH₂)₃NMe₂ ( 8 ), and Cl₂Ga(CH₂)₃NMe₂ ( 9 ). The reaction of 6 and of 8 or 9 with BrMg(CH₂)₅MgBr and BrMg(CH₂)₆MgBr, respectively, yields (CH₂)₅AlCH₂CHMeCH₂NMe₂ ( 7 ), (CH₂)₆Al(CH₂)₃NMe₂ ( 10 ), and (CH₂)₆Ga(CH₂)₃NMe₂ ( 11 ). MeAlCl₂, made by the redistribution reaction of AlCl₃ with Me₂AlCl, reacts with 2 equivalents of Li(CH₂)₃NMe₂ yielding MeAl[(CH₂)₃NMe₂]₂ ( 12 ) and with MeN[(CH₂)₃MgCl]₂ under formation of MeAl[(CH₂)₃]₂NMe ( 13 ). MeAlCl₂, MeGaCl₂, or GaCl₃ accordingly react with one equivalent of organolithium reagent to give the intramolecularly nitrogen stabilized organoaluminum and organogallium chlorides MeClAl(CH₂)₃NMe₂ ( 14 ), MeClGa(CH₂)₃NMe₂ ( 15 ), MeClGaC₆H₄‐2‐CH₂NMe₂ ( 16 ) as well as Cl₂GaC₆H₄‐2‐CHMeNMe₂ ( 17 ). The compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectroscopy, ¹H, ¹¹B, ¹³C and ²⁷Al NMR investigations. Single crystal X‐ray structure analyses of 1 , 2 , 4 , 5 and 17 reveal the monomeric molecular structures with intramolecular nitrogen coordination.     

Synthesen und Kristallstrukturen neuer heterobimetallischer Tantal‐Münzmetall‐Chalkogenido‐Cluster

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Novel Heterobimetallic Tantalum Coin Metal Chalcogenido Clusters In the presence of phosphine the thiotantalats (Et₄N)₄[Ta₆S₁₇] · 3MeCN reacts with copper to give a number of new heterobimetallic tantalum copper chalcogenide clusters. These clusters show metal chalcogenide units some of which here already known from the chemistry of vanadium and niobium. New Ta—M‐chalcogenide clusters could also be synthesised by reaction of TaCl₅ and silylated chalcogen reagents with copper or silver salts in presence of phosphine. Such examples are: [Ta₂Cu₂S₄Cl₂(PMe₃)₆] · DMF ( 1 ), (Et₄N)[Ta₃Cu₅S₈Cl₅(PMe₃)₆] · 2MeCN ( 2 ), (Et₄N)[Ta₉Cu₁₀S₂₄Cl₈(PMe₃)₁₄] · 2MeCN ( 3 ), [Ta₄Cu₁₂Cl₈S₁₂(PMe₃)₁₂] ( 4 ), (Et₄N)[Ta₂Cu₆S₆Cl₅(PPh₃)₆] · 5MeCN ( 5 ), (Et₄N)[Ta₂Cu₆S₆Cl₅(PPh₂Me)₆] · 2MeCN ( 6 ), (Et₄N)[Ta₂Cu₆S₆Cl₅(P^tBu₂Cl)₆] · MeCN ( 7 ) [Ta₂Cu₂S₄Br₄(PPh₃)₂(MeCN)₂] · MeCN ( 8 ), [Cu(PMe₃)₄]₂[Ta₂Cu₆S₆(SCN)₆(PMe₃)₆] · 4MeCN ( 9 ), [TaCu₅S₄Cl₂(dppm)₄] · DMF ( 10 ), [Ta₂Cu₂Se₄(SCN)₂(PMe₃)₆] ( 11 ), [Cu(PMe₃)₄]₂[Ta₂Cu₆Se₆(SCN)₆(PMe₃)₆] · 4MeCN ( 12 ), [TaCu₄Se₄(PⁿPr₃)₆][TaCl₆] ( 13 ), [Ta₂Ag₂Se₄Cl₂(PMe₃)₆] · MeCN ( 14 ), _∞[TaAg₃Se₄(PMe₃)₃] ( 15 ). The structures of these compounds were obtained by X‐ray single crystal structure analysis.     

Iridium(I)‐ und Iridium(III)‐Komplexe mit Triisopropylarsan als Ligand

Iridium(I) and Iridium(III) Complexes with Triisopropylarsane as Ligand The ethene complex trans‐[IrCl(C₂H₄)(AsiPr₃)₂] ( 2 ), which was prepared from [IrCl(C₂H₄)₂]₂ and AsiPr₃, reacted with CO and Ph₂CN₂ by displacement of ethene to yield the substitution products trans‐[IrCl(L)(AsiPr₃)₂] ( 3 : L = CO; 4 : L = N₂). UV irradiation of 2 in the presence of acetonitrile gave via intramolecular oxidative addition the hydrido(vinyl)iridium(III) compound [IrHCl(CH=CH₂)(CH₃CN)(AsiPr₃)₂] ( 5 ). The reaction of 2 with dihydrogen led under argon to the formation of the octahedral complex [IrH₂Cl(C₂H₄)(AsiPr₃)₂] ( 7 ), whereas from 2 under 1 bar H₂ the ethene‐free compound [IrH₂Cl(AsiPr₃)₂] ( 6 ) was generated. Complex 6 reacted with ethene to afford 7 and with pyridine to give [IrH₂Cl(py)(AsiPr₃)₂] ( 8 ). The mixed arsane(phosphane)iridium(I) compound [IrCl(C₂H₄)(PiPr₃)(AsiPr₃)] ( 11 ) was prepared either from the dinuclear complex [IrCl(C₂H₄)(PiPr₃)]2 ( 9 ) and AsiPr₃ or by ligand exchange from [IrCl(C₂H₄)(PiPr₃)(SbiPr₃)] ( 10 ) und triisopropylarsane. The molecular structure of 5 was determined by X‐ray crystallography.     

Nitridorhenium(V) Complexes with 1,3‐Dialkyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐2‐ylidenes

The nitridorhenium(V) complexes [ReNCl₂(PR₂Ph)₃] (R = Me, Et) react with the N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) 1,3‐diethyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐5‐ylidene (L^Et) or 1,3,4,5‐tetramethylimidazole‐2‐ylidene (L^Me) in absolutely dry THF under complete replacement of the equatorial coordination sphere. The resulting [ReNCl(L^R)₄]⁺ complexes (L^R = L^Me, L^Et) are moderately stable as solids and in solution, but decompose in hot methanol under formation of [ReO₂(L^R)₄]⁺ complexes. With 1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐5‐ylidene (L^i‐Pr), the loss of the nitrido ligand and the formation of a dioxo species is more rapid and no nitridorhenium intermediate could be isolated. The Re‐C bond lengths in [ReNCl(L^Et)₄]Cl of approximately 2.195Å are relatively long and indicate mainly σ‐bonding in the electron‐deficient d² system under study. The hydrolysis of the nitrido complexes proceeds via the formation of [ReO₃N]^2? anions as could be verified by the isolation and structural characterization of the intermediates [{ReN(PMe₂Ph)₃}{ReO₃N}]₂ and [{ReN(OH₂)(L^Et)₂}₂O][ReO₃N].     

Cage Compounds of Phosphorus and the Heavier Group 14 Elements

The Sn/P cage compounds [Sn₁₀(tBuP)₄] ( 1 ) and [Sn₁₀(tBuP)₇Cl₄] ( 2 ) were obtained by the reaction of LitBuPH with SnBr₂ and SnCl₂, respectively. Theoretical calculations confirm that the tin atoms in 2 feature different formal oxidation states. The reaction of PbCl₂ with LitBuPH and LiPHSiiPr₃ yields the Pb/P cage compounds [Pb₇(tBuP)₇] ( 3 ) and [Pb₆(PSiiPr₃)₆] ( 4 ), respectively, that represent new derivatives of known polyhedrons of this class of compounds. The new products were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, elemental analysis and partially by MS and MAS‐NMR spectroscopy.     

Synthese,Struktur und Photochemie von Olefiniridium(I)‐Komplexen mit Acetylacetonatoliganden

Synthesis, Structure, and Photochemical Behavior of Olefine Iridium(I) Complexes with Acetylacetonato Ligands The bis(ethene) complex [Ir(κ²‐acac)(C₂H₄)₂] ( 1 ) reacts with tertiary phosphanes to give the monosubstitution products [Ir(κ²‐acac)(C₂H₄)(PR₃)] ( 2 – 5 ). While 2 (R = iPr) is inert toward PiPr₃, the reaction of 2 with diphenylacetylene affords the π‐alkyne complex [Ir(κ²‐acac)(C₂Ph₂)(PiPr₃)] ( 6 ). Treatment of [IrCl(C₂H₄)₄] with C‐functionalized acetylacetonates yields the compounds [Ir(κ²‐acacR^1,2)(C₂H₄)₂] ( 8 , 9 ), which react with PiPr₃ to give [Ir(κ²‐acacR^1,2)(C₂H₄)(PiPr₃)] ( 10 , 11 ) by displacement of one ethene ligand. UV irradiation of 5 (PR₃ = iPr₂PCH₂CO₂Me) and 11 (R² = (CH₂)₃CO₂Me) leads, after addition of PiPr₃, to the formation of the hydrido(vinyl)iridium(III) complexes 7 and 12 . The reaction of 2 with the ethene derivatives CH₂=CHR (R = CN, OC(O)Me, C(O)Me) affords the compounds [Ir(κ²‐acac)(CH₂=CHR)(PiPr₃)] ( 13 – 15 ), which on photolysis in the presence of PiPr₃ also undergo an intramolecular C–H activation. In contrast, the analogous complexes [Ir(κ²‐acac)(olefin)(PiPr₃)] (olefin = (E)‐C₂H₂(CO₂Me)₂ 16 , (Z)‐C₂H₂(CO₂Me)₂ 17 ) are photochemically inert.     

Heterokuban‐Cluster‐Verbindungen (NEt4){Y=M[(μ3‐S)Re(CO)3]3(μ3‐E)} (M = W oder Mo,Y = O oder S,E = S oder Se): Strukturen,Spektroskopie und Elektrochemie

Heterocubane Cluster Compounds (NEt₄){Y=M[(μ₃‐S)Re(CO)₃]₃(μ₃‐E)} (M = W or Mo, Y = O or S, E = S or Se): Structures, Spectroscopy, and Electrochemistry Thiometallates [MS₄]^2– (M = Mo, W) or [WOS₃]^2– react with Re(CO)₅(O₃SCF₃) and Li₂E (E = S or Se) to yield the following compounds which were structurally characterized: (NEt₄){S=W[(μ₃‐S)Re(CO)₃]₃(μ₃‐S)}(NEt₄) ( 1 ), (NEt₄){O/S=W[(μ₃‐S)Re(CO)₃](μ₃‐S)}(NEt₄) ( 1 / 2 ), (mixed crystals), (NEt₄){S=W[(μ₃‐S)Re(CO)₃]₃(μ₃‐Se)}(NEt₄) ( 3 ) and (NEt₄){S=Mo[(μ₃‐S)Re(CO)₃]₃(μ₃‐S)}(NEt₄) ( 4 ). The heterocubane anions 1 – 4 contain electron‐rich centers such as rhenium(I) or sulfide whereas molybdenum(VI) or tungsten(VI) act as acceptor sites. Accordingly, the absorption spectra show long‐wavelength metal‐to‐ligand charge transfer transitions, and cyclic voltammetry reveals a quasi‐reversible reduction of the clusters. Although both six‐coordinate rhenium(I) and four‐coordinate metal(VI) centers are present in the clusters there is no evidence for significant metal‐to‐metal charge transfer interaction.     

Die Reaktion der Zweikomponentensysteme P(OR)3 − x(NR2)x (x = 0–3)/CCl4 und P4/CCl4 mit HF-Donatoren

Reaction of the Two-component Systems P(OR)_{3 ? x}(NR₂)_x (x = 0–3)/CCl₄ and P₄/CCl₄ with HF-Donators The combination of organylammonium fluorides and carbon tetrachloride is a good agent for oxidative fluorination of trivalent phosphorus compounds. As oxidation products [(RO)PF₅]^? and (RO)₂P(O)F are obtained from P(OR)₃, (Et₂N)₂P(O)F and (Et₂N)₂(EtO)PF₂ from P(OEt)(NEt₂)₂ as well as (Et₂N)₃PF₂ and [(Et₂N)₃PF]⁺ from P(NEt₂)₃. In the system R₂NH/CCl₄/Et₃N · n HF P₄ is fast oxidized forming [HPF₅]^?, R₂NH · PF₅ and (R₂N)₂P(O)F. In the case of simultaneous addition of alcohols [(RO)PF₅]^?, (RO)₃PO and (R₂N)₂P(O)F are formed. The reactions are controlled by the nucleophilic power and the concentration of fluoride, the acidity of the system, and the temperature.

With an excess of CO, the dicarbonyl and tricarbonyl compounds trans-[Rh(CO)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (3) and [Rh(CO)₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (4) were obtained. Displacement of one CO ligand in 3 by pyridine and acetone led to the formation of trans-[Rh(CO)(py)PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (5a) and trans-[Rh(CO) (O=CMe₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (6), respectively. Treatment of 1 with [pyH]BF₄ and pyridine gave trans-[Rh(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (7); in presence of H₂ the dihydrido complex [RhH₂(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (8) was formed. The reaction of 1 with NH₄PF₆ and ethylene produced trans [Rh(C₂H₄(NH₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆(9) whereas with methylvinylketone and acetophenone the octahedral hydridorhodium(III) complexes [RhH(η²-CH=CHC(=O)CH₃ (NH₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆(11) and [RhH(η2-C₆H₄C(=O)CH₃(NH₃(Pⁱpr₃)₂]PF₆ (13) were obtained. The synthesis of the cationic vinylidenerhodium(I) compounds trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (14–16) and trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃) ₂]PF6 (17–19) was achieved either on treatment of 1 with [pyH]BF₄ or NH₄PF₆ in presence of 1-alkynes or by ethylene displacement from 9 by HCCR. With tert-butylacetylene as substrate, the alkinyl(hydrido)rhodium(III) complex [RhH(CC^tBu)(NH₃)(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃) ₂]PF₆ (20) was isolated which in CH₂Cl₂ solution smoothly reacted to give 19 (R =^tBu). The cationic but-2-yne compound trans-[Rh(MeCCMe)(NH₃)(Pⁱ Pr₃)₂]PF₆ (21) was prepared from 1, NH₄PF₆ and C₂Me₂. The molecular structures of 3 and 14 were determined by X-ray crystallography; in both cases the square-planar coordination around the metal and the trans disposition of the phosphine ligands was confirmed.

Abstract

Der Komplex trans-[Rh(CO)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (2) wurde aus [(η³-C₃H₅)Rh(PⁱPr₃)₂] (1), NH₄PF₆ und CO oder aus 1, NH₄PF₆ und Methanol hergestellt. In Gegenwart von überschüssigem CO wurden die Dicarbonyl- und Tricarbonyl-Verbindungen trans-[Rh(CO)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (3) und [Rh(CO)₃(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (4) erhalten. Die Verdrängung eines CO-Liganden in 3 durch Pyridin oder Aceton führte zur Bildung von trans-[Rh(CO)(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (5a) bzw. trans-[Rh(CO)(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (6). Bei Einwirkung von [pyH]BF₄ und Pyridin auf 1 entstand trans-[Rh(py)₂(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (7); in Gegenwart von H₂ bildete sich der Dihydrido-Komplex [RhH₂(py)₂(PⁱPr₃) ₂]BF₄ (8). Die Reaktion von 1 mit NH₄PF₆ und Ethen lieferte trans-[Rh(C₂H₄)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂] PF₆ (9) während mit Methylvinylketon und Acetophenon die oktaedrischen Hydridorhodium(III)-Komplexe [RhH(η²-CH=CHC(=O)CH₃ (NH₃)-(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (11) und [RhH(η-²-C₆H₄C(=O)CH₃(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂)₂]PF₆ (13) erhalten wurden. Die Synthese der kationischen Vinyli-denrhodium(I)-Verbindungen trans-[Rh(=C=CHR(py)(PⁱPr₃)₂]BF₄ (14–16) und trans-[Rh(=C=CHR)(NH₃)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (17–19) gelang durch Einwirkung von [pyH]BF₄ bzw. NH₄PF₆ auf 1 in Gegenwart von 1-Alkinen oder durch Ethen-Verdrängung aus 9 mit HCCR. Mit tert-Butylacetylen als Reaktionspartner wurde der Alkinyl(hydrido)rhodium(III)-Komplex [RhH(CC^tBu)(NH₃(O=CMe₂)(PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (20) isoliert, der in CH₂Cl₂-Lösung sofort zu 19 (R =^tBu) reagiert. Die kationische 2-Butin-Verbindung trans -[Rh(MeCCMe)(NH₃)PⁱPr₃)₂]PF₆ (21) wurde aus 1, NH₄PF₆ und C₂Me₂ hergestellt. Die Strukturen von 3 und 14 wurden kristallographisch bestimmt; in beiden Fa len ließ sich die quadratisch-planare Koordination des Metalls und die trans-Anordnung der Phosphanliganden bestätigen.

Chalkogenoniobate als Ausgangsverbindungen zur Darstellung neuer heterobimetallischer Niobium‐Münzmetall‐Chalkogenido‐Cluster

Chalcogenoniobates as Reagents for the Synthesis of New Heterobimetallic Niobium Coinage Metal Chalcogenide Clusters In the presence of phosphine chalcogenoniobates such as Li₃[NbS₄] · 4 CH₃CN ( I ), (NEt₄)₄[Nb₆S₁₇] · 3 CH₃CN ( II ) and (NEt₄)₂[NbE′₃(E^tBu)] ( III a : E′ = E = S; III b : E = Se, E′ = S; III c : E = E′ = Se) respectively react with copper and gold salts to give a number of new heterobimetallic niobium copper(gold) chalcogenide clusters. These clusters show metal chalcogenide units already known from the complex chemistry of the tetrachalcogenometalates [ME₄]^n– (M = V, n = 3, E = S; M = Mo, W, n = 2, E = S, Se). The compounds 1 – 8 owe a central tetrahedral [NbE₄] structural unit, which coordinates η² from two to five coinage metal atoms, employing the chalcogenide atoms of the [NbE₄] edges. The compounds 9 – 11 have a [M′₂Nb₂E₄] (M′ = Cu, Au) heterocubane unit in common, involving a metal metal bond between the niobium atoms, while the compounds 12 and 13 show a complete and 14 an incomplete [M′₃NbE₃X] heterocubane structure (X = Cl, Br). 15 consists of a Cu₆Nb₂ cube with the six planes capped by μ₄ bridging selenide ligands forming an octahedra. The compounds 1 – 15 are listed below: (NEt₄) [Cu₂NbSe₂S₂(dppe)₂] · 2 DMF ( 1 ), [Cu₃NbS₄(PPh₃)₄] ( 2 ), [Au₃NbSe₄(PPh₃)₄] · Et₂O ( 3 ), [Cu₄NbS₄Cl(PCy₃)₄] ( 4 ), [Cu₄NbS₄Cl(P^tBu₃)₄] · 0,5 DMF ( 5 ), [Cu₄NbSe₄(NCS)(P^tBu₃)₄] · DMF ( 6 ), [Cu₄NbS₄(NCS)(dppm)₄] · Et₂O ( 7 ), [Cu₅NbSe₄Cl₂‐ (dppm)₄] · 3 DMF ( 8 ), [Cu₂Nb₂S₄Cl₂(PMe₃)₆] · DMF ( 9 ), [Au₂Nb₂Se₄Cl₂(PMe₃)₆] · DMF ( 10 ), (NEt₄)₂[Cu₃Nb₂S₄(NCS)₅(dppm)₂(dmf)] · 4 DMF ( 11 ), [Cu₃NbS₃Br(PPh₃)₃(dmf)₃]Br · [CuBr(PPh₃)₃] · PPh₃ · OPPh₃ · 3 DMF ( 12 ), [Cu₃NbS₃Cl₂(PPh₃)₃(dmf)₂] · 1.5 DMF ( 13 ), (NEt₄)[Cu₃NbSe₃Cl₃(dmf)₃] ( 14 ), [Cu₆Nb₂Se₆O₂(PMe₃)₆] ( 15 ). The structures of these compounds were obtained by X‐ray single crystal structure analysis.
