Cationic Carbonyl complexes of manganese(I) with diphosphines

The bromo-carbonyls fac-BrMn(CO)₃(diphos)(diphos  Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh₂ for n = 1(dpm), 2(dpe), 3(dpp) and 4(dbp)) react with AgClO₄ in dichloromethane solution to give the neutral fac-O₃ClOMn(CO)₃(diphos). The reaction of the latter complexes at room temperature with a variety of ligands L  phosphines (PR₃), phosphites (P(OR)₃), pyridine (Py), acetonitrile (MeCN), tetrahydrothiophene (THT) or acetone (Me₂CO) leads to the cationic species fac-[Mn(CO)₃(diphos)L]ClO₄ (or to the [Mn(CO)₄(diphos))]ClO₄, when L  CO). When L is a phosphorus ligand, the cationic fac-tricarbonyls isomerize upon heating to the mer isomers, which could only be isolated by this method for diphos  dpm, the reaction being accompanied by decomposition in the other cases. UV irradiation of the mer-[Mn(CO)₃(diphos)L]ClO₄ in the presence of a large excess of L gives the corresponding trans-[Mn(CO)₂(diphos)L₂]ClO₄.     

Thermal kinetic TG-analysis of the mixed-ligand copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of N-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzylidene-5-pyrazolone) p-nitrobezoylhydrazide and pyridine

Thermal behaviors of three mixed-ligand complexes, [Ni(PMBP-PNH)(Py)₃], [Ni(PMBP-PNH)Py] and [Cu(PMBP-PNH)Py] (PMBP-PNH = N-(1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzylidene-5-pyrazolone) p-nitrobezoylhydrazide; Py = pyridine), were studied by TG and DTG in dynamic air atmosphere. The complexes show the loss of pyridine molecule which is followed by the decomposition of the PMBP-PNH anion and give respective metal oxides as residues. Meanwhile, the Ozawa-Flynn-Wall model-free analyses and multivariate non-linear regression were applied to perform single and overall steps optimization. Kinetic parameters were given and the most probable mechanism functions were suggested in this study.     

Coordination Chemistry and Methylation of Mixed-Substituted Tetraphosphetanes (RP−PtBu)2 (R=Ph,Py)

Synthesis of mixed-substituted tetraphosphetanes (RP−PtBu)₂ (R=Ph ( 4 ), Py ( 5 ); Py=2-pyridyl) is achieved from the condensation of dipyrazolylphosphanes RPpyr₂ (R=Py ( 1 ), Ph ( 3 ); pyr=3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl) as P₁-building block (R−P) and tBuPH₂ in an equimolar ratio. Compound 5 is of special interest since the presence of two pyridyl-substituents as well as the P₄-core allows for a rich coordination chemistry with coinage metal salts [Cu(MeCN)₄][OTf], Ag[OTf] and in situ formed [Au(tht)][OTf] (tht=tetrahydrothiophene). Both tetraphosphetanes undergo alkylation reaction with MeOTf to give a series of tetraphosphetanium and tetraphosphetanediium triflate salts with additional methylation of the pyridyl-moiety in case of 5 resulting in interesting novel cyclic trications. Harsh reaction condition and an excess of MeOTf converts 5 into the cyclic trication [-P(^MePy)PMe₂P(^MePy)PtBu-]³⁺ ( 13 ³⁺; ^MePy=1-methylpyridiniumyl) through the elimination of isobutene. This salt undergoes a complicated rearrangement reaction involving a P−P/P−P bond metathesis to form trication [-P(MePy)₃PtBu-]³⁺ ( 17 ³⁺) when reacted with Me₂PPMe₂.     

Strain‐Induced Double Carbon–Carbon Bond Activations of Cycloparaphenylenes by a Platinum Complex: Application to the Synthesis of Cyclic Diketones

The carbon–carbon (C?C) bond activation of [n]cycloparaphenylenes ([n]CPPs) by a transition‐metal complex is herein reported. The Pt⁰ complex Pt(PPh₃)₄ regioselectively cleaves two C?C σ bonds of [5] CPP and [6]CPP to give cyclic dinuclear platinum complexes in high yields. Theoretical calculations reveal that the relief of ring strain drives the reaction. The cyclic complex was further transformed into a cyclic diketone by using a CO insertion reaction.     

Protonation of Cp(CO)(PPh3) RuCCPh: Formation of cationnic phenylacetylene and phenylvinylidene complexes and subsequent reaction with ethylene oxide to form the net [2 + 3] cycloadduct [Cp(CO)(PPH3)Ru=CCH(Ph)CH2CH2O]+

Protonation of the alkynyl complex Cp(CO)(PPh₃)RuCCPh (1) at low temperature affords quantitatively the vinylidened complex [Cp(CO)(PPh₃)RuCCH(Ph)]⁺ (3), which upon warming to room temperature forms an equilibrium with the η²-phenylacetylene complex [Cp(CO)(PPh₃)Ru(η²-HCCPh)]⁺ (4), with the latter predominating. Subsequent reaction with ethylene oxide yields the cyclic oxacarbene complex [Cp(CO)(PPH₃)Ru=CCH(Ph)CH₂CH₂O]⁺ (5), which can be regarded as the result of a net [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between 3 and ethylene oxide. Depronation of 5 affords teh corresponding neutral cyclic vinyl complex [Cp(CO)(PPH₃)RuC=C(Ph)CH₂CH₂O]⁺ (6), which can in turn be protonated to regenerate 5 in a diastereoselective manner. The structures of complexes 5 and 6 were determined by X-ray crystallography.     

Metal complexes with tetrapyrrole ligands : XV. A carbonylosmium porphodimethene: Synthesis,and determination of the crystal and molecular structure

A novel osmium porphodimethene, carbonyl (α, γ-dimethyl-α, γ-dihydrooctaethylporphinato) pyridineosmium(II) [Os(OEPMe₂)CO · Py], has been prepared by reductive methylation of carbonyl(octaethylporphinato)pyridineosmium(II) [Os(OEP)CO · Py]. The constitution has been determined by elemental analysis, electronic absorption-, IR, NMR, and mass spectra. The syn-axial configuration of the two methyl and the carbonyl groups follows from an analysis of X-ray diffraction data collected with a Syntex P1 diffractometer. The compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic four-molecule unit cell (space group Pnma). The more important structural parameters have the following values: d[OsN(OEPMe₂)] = 2.067 », d[OsN(Py)] = 2.230 », d[OsC(CO)] = 1.828 », and d[CO] = 1.15 »; the porphodimethene ligand shows a roof-like folding defined by an angle of 38.1° between the normals of the essentially planar pyrromethene halves of the macrocyle; the Os atom lies 0.18 » above the plane of the four N atoms of the (OEPMe₂) ligand in the direction of the CO group. The decreased value of the CO stretching frequency in Os(OEPMe₂)CO · Py (v?(CO) = 1863 cm^?1) compared with that in Os(OEP)CO · Py (v?(CO) = 1902 cm^?1) indicates an increased back-bonding to the CO group, and hence, a diminished back-bonding to the porphodimethene ligand.

Stepwise reduction of the thiocarbonyl ligand: hydride transfer to CS: thioformyl,thioformaldehyde, methylthiolato,secondary carbene,formyl and iminoformyl complexes of osmium

The complexes OsHX(CS)L(PPh₃)₂ (X  Cl, Br; L  CO and X  Cl; L  CN-p-tolyl), which contain mutually cis hydrido and thiocarbonyl ligands, undergo transfer of the hydrido ligand to CS when treated with CO to give blue complexes containing the thioformyl ligand [OsCHS]. OsCl(CHS)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ reacts with borohydride to give the first metal complex of the thioformaldehyde monomer, viz. Os(η²-CH₂S)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂, which reacts rapidly with HCl to give OsCl(SCH₃)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ and then, by a slower reaction, OsCl₂(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ and CH₃SH. The ligands produced in this stepwise reduction have possible relevance as models for postulated intermediates in the Fischer—Tropsch synthesis. Synthetic routes to formyl [OsCHO], iminoformyl [OsCHNMe] and secondary carbene complexes [OsCHSMe, OsCHNMe₂, OsCHOMe] are also demonstrated.

RuHCl(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ reacts with ethylene under mild conditions (25 psi, 80°C) to yield a propionyl derivative RuCl(C[O]C₂H₅)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ which is believed to be coordinatively unsaturated. Unlike the acetyl analogue, RuCl[C[O]C₂H₅(CO)-(PPh₃)₂ does not isomerize to RuCl(C₂H₅)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ in solution. Under one atmosphere of carbon monoxide, RuCl(C[O]C₂H₅(CO)(PPh₃)₂ exists in equilibrium with two species believed to be RuCl(C[O]C₂H₅)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ and [Ru(C[O]C₂H₅)(CO)₃(PPh₃)₂]Cl. RuCl(C[O]C₂H₅)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ reacts with CO/ AgClO₄ to give mer-[Ru(C[O]C₂H₅)(CO)₃(PPh₃)₂]ClO₄, p-tolylisocyanide (RNC) and NaClO₄ to give cis-[Ru(C[O]C₂H₅)(CO)(CNR)₂(PPh₃)₂ClO₄, and hydrochloric acid to yield the hydroxycarbene complex, RuCl₂(CO)(C[OH]C₂H₅)(PPh₃)₂.

Neutral and cationic dicarbonyl complexes of manganese (I) with diphosphines

The reaction of BrMn(CO)₅ with dppm in refluxing toluene gives the neutral compunds cis-cis-BrMn(CO)₂(dppm)₂ which has been shown by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy to have one dppm monodentate and the other bidendate. This complex reacts with TIPF₆ in dichloromethane solution to give the salt cis-[Mn(CO)₂-(dppm)₂]PF₆ or, if the reaction is carried out in the presence of CO, the salt mer-[Mn(CO)₃(dppm)₂]PF₆ which also has one monodentate dppm (by ³¹P NMR). The cationic complex cis-[Mn(CO)₂(dppm)₂]⁺ isomerizes to the transisomer when irradiated with UV light, while heating of the latter gives back the cis-isomer. The perchlorate salts of the cation cis-[Mn(CO)₂(dppm)₂⁺ can be prepared by reacting fac-O₃ClOMn(CO)₃(dppm) withdppm in refluxing toluene, and trans-[Mn(CO)₂(diphos)(diphos)′]⁺, diphos or diphos′ being dppm or dppe, by treating the fac-O₃ClMn(CO)₃(diphos) with dppm or dppe under UV irradiation.

With K[Ni(CO)Cp*] and K[Fe(CO)₂Cp′] the trigonal‐pyramidal complexes [(μ₃‐Sb){Ni(CO)Cp*}₃] ( 1 ) and [(μ₃‐Sb){Fe · (CO)₂Cp′}₃] ( 2 ), respectively, are obtained. The reaction with K[Co(CO)₄] leads to the tetrahedral cluster [Co₃(CO)₉(μ₃‐Sb{Cr(CO)₅})] ( 3 ) and the butterfly cluster [Co₂(CO)₆(μ‐SbCl)(μ‐SbCl{Cr(CO)₅})] ( 4 ). All products are characterised by X‐ray crystal structure determination. In contrast to the corresponding [(CO)₅CrPCl₃] system forming P–P bonds, starting from SbCl₃/[Cr(CO)₅thf] does not cause a Sb–Sb bond formation.     

First examples of [Rh(Bident)(CO)(L)] complexes where L is N-donor ligand: Molecular structure of [Rh(8-Oxiquinolinato)(CO)(NH3)]

Selective oxidation of one (trans to N) carbonyl group in [Rh(8-Oxiquinolinato)(CO)₂] with stoichiometric amount of Me₃NO in MeCN produces a solution containing [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(Me₃N)] and [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(MeCN)]. The ammonia complex, [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(NH₃)], has been prepared by action of NH₃ gas on this solution and characterized by IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and X-ray data. Spectral parameters, ν(CO), δ¹³C, and ¹J(CRh), were measured in situ for a series of complexes [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(L)] (L = NAlk₃, Py, PBu₃, PPh₃, P(OPh)₃, C₈H₁₄) formed upon action of L on [Rh(Oxq)(CO)(NH₃)] in THF. A new ν(CO) and δ¹³C based scale of σ-donor/π-acceptor properties of ligands L is proposed including NH₃ and CO as the natural endpoints.

The compound Mn(CO)₅Fc can be prepared by the reaction of Mn(CO)₅Br with ferrocenyllithium, FcLi. The mangana-β-diketone [Mn(CO)₄(FcCO)₂]H, obtained as a side-product, is converted into Mn(CO)₅Fc with concomitant formation of diferrocenoyl, (FcCO)₂.

Soft metal ions abstract sulphur from the ligands to yield the corresponding sulphide, together with oxygenated forms of the ligands. All the metal complexes have been characterised by chemical analyses, conductivity, spectroscopic and magnetic measurements.
