Experimental investigations and ab initio studies of selenium(II) dialkanethiolates, Se(SR)2

Selenium(II) dimethanethiolate, Se(SMe)(2), was synthesized by reaction of SeO(2) with HSMe. Basic spectroscopic data for Se(SMe)(2) and selenium(II) bis(2-methyl-2-propanethiolate), Se(S(t)Bu)(2), were recorded and interpreted with the support of ab initio calculations. Both compounds are thermodynamically unstable relatively to selenium and the corresponding disulfide. The UV/vis spectra of both compounds are qualitatively similar, the two bands being attributed to n(Se)-sigma*(Se-S) transitions. The bands at 369 and 397 cm(-1) in the IR spectra of Se(SMe)(2) and Se(S(t)Bu)(2), respectively, are assigned to nu(as)(SeS(2)). The (77)Se NMR shifts of Se(SMe)(2)(784 ppm) and Se(S(t)Bu)(2)(556 ppm) differ substantially from each other and show positive temperature gradients. Calculations at the GIAO-HF/962+(d) level reproduced the difference of the (77)Se NMR chemical shifts between Se(SMe)(2) and Se(S(t)Bu)(2). At the same level, the effect of conformational changes on (77)Se shifts were studied for Se(SMe)(2). In the solid state Se(SMe)(2) forms long intermolecular SeS contacts while Se(S(t)Bu)(2) does not. Both compounds exhibit anti-conformations of the methyl and tert-butyl groups with respect to the SeS(2) plane. MP2/LANL2DZ(d) geometry optimizations, single point energy and frequency calculations performed for Se(SMe)(2) show, that syn- (C(s)) and anti-conformers (C(2)) represent minima on the potential energy surface, the latter being by 8 kJ mol(-1) lower in energy than the former. Both conformers are stabilized by intramolecular pi-type n(S(1))-sigma*(Se-S(2)) orbital interactions. The energy of the transition state for the mutual conversion of the two conformers was calculated to be 31 kJ mol(-1) above that of the syn conformer, allowing a rapid interconversion of the two conformers at room temperature. Intermolecular interactions between Se(SMe)(2) molecules were also studied by means of calculations at the MP2/LANL2DZ(d) level. For Se(S(t)Bu)(2) MP2/LANL2DZ(d) geometry optimizations and single point energy calculations revealed a C(2)-symmetric anti- and a C(1) symmetric syn-conformer, the latter being 21 kJ mol(-1) higher in energy than the former. Se(SMe)(2) and Se(S(t)Bu)(2) exchange thiolate groups with other selenium(II) dithiolates, tellurium(II) dithiolates and with thiols, if catalytic amounts of p-CH(3)C(6)H(4)SO(3)H are added.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of complexes Cp(CO)2MnP(SR)3 (R = Pri,Ph)

Cp(CO)₂Mn · THF reacts in THF with thiosters of phosphorus acid, P(SR)₃, to give new complexes Cp(CO)₂MnP(SR)₃ in which the manganese atom is coordinated to the phosphorus atom. The X-ray crystal structure of compounds with R = Prⁱ and Ph was established. The metal atom has a coordination enviroment of the three-legged piano stool type. The bond angles OC-Mn-CO and OC-Mn-P are 90.6–95.9(4)°. Bond distances are: Mn-P 2.188(2) and 2.171(2) E, P-S 2.097(3)-2.137(3) E.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Precursors to [FeFe]-hydrogenase models: syntheses of Fe2(SR)2(CO)6 from CO-free iron sources

This report describes routes to iron dithiolato carbonyls that do not require preformed iron carbonyls. The reaction of FeCl 2, Zn, and Q 2S 2C n H 2 n (Q (+) = Na (+), Et 3NH (+)) under an atmosphere of CO affords Fe 2(S 2C n H 2 n )(CO) 6 ( n = 2, 3) in yields >70%. The method was employed to prepare Fe 2(S 2C 2H 4)( (13)CO) 6. Treatment of these carbonylated mixtures with tertiary phosphines, instead of Zn, gave the ferrous species Fe 3(S 2C 3H 6) 3(CO) 4(PR 3) 2, for R = Et, Bu, and Ph. Like the related complex Fe 3(SPh) 6(CO) 6, these compounds consist of a linear arrangement of three conjoined face-shared octahedral centers. Omitting the phosphine but with an excess of dithiolate, we obtained the related mixed-valence triiron species [Fe 3(S 2C n H 2 n ) 4(CO) 4] (-). The highly reducing all-ferrous species [Fe 3(S 2C n H 2 n ) 4(CO) 4] (2-) is implicated as an intermediate in this transformation. Reactive forms of iron, prepared by the method of Rieke, also combined with dithiols under a CO atmosphere to give Fe 2(S 2C n H 2 n )(CO) 6 in modest yields under mild conditions. Studies on the order of addition indicate that ferrous thiolates are formed prior to the onset of carbonylation. Crystallographic characterization demonstrated that the complexes Fe 3(S 2C 3H 6) 3(CO) 4(PEt 3) 2 and PBnPh 3[Fe 3(S 2C 3H 6) 4(CO) 4] feature high-spin ferrous and low-spin ferric as the central metal, respectively.
