The compounds C₆Me₆Ru(CH₃)₂PR₃ (I, II) react with HBF₄/OEt₂ in the presence of CO or C₂H₄ to give the arene(methyl)ruthenium(II) complexes [C₆Me₆RuCH₃(CO)PRh₃]BF₄ (IV) and [C₆Me₆RuCH₃(C₂H₄)PP₃]BF₄ (V, VI), respectively. The hydrido(2-styryldiphenylphosphane) complex [C₆Me₆RuH(PPh₂C₆H₄CHCH₂)]BF₄ (VII) is formed from V (R = Ph) at room temperature by elimination of CH₄ and formation of a new CC bond. The reaction of I (R = Ph) with 50% HBF₄/H₂O in propionic anhydride gives the compound [C₆Me₆Ru(OCOEt)PPh₃]BF₄ (III) in which the propionate anion is coordinated as a chelate ligand.

Both compounds are formed selectively depending on the reaction and crystallization conditions. In 2 the Pb^II atoms are coordinated either by six bridging I^– ligands in the two-dimensional [Pb₅I₁₄]^4– network or by six DMF ligands in the [Pb(dmf)₆]²⁺ cations. In contrast, (Me₃N–C₂H₄–NMe₃)₂[Pb₂I₇]I ( 3 ) contains non-coordinating I^– anions between the iodoplumbate layers. The iodoplumbate anions in 2 and 3 consist of face and corner sharing PbI₆ octahedra, whereas in 1 PbI₆ and PbI₅(dmf) octahedra share common edges to form a one-dimensional polymeric section of the PbI₂ structure.

Basische metalle : XX. Synthese und reaktivität von C6Me6Ru(CO)PMe3. Ein stabiler aromaten-ruthenium(0)-carbonyl-komplex

Treatment of [C₆Me₆RuCl₂]₂ with carbon monoxide gives C₆Me₆Ru(CO)Cl₂ (II) which reacts with PMe₃ in the presence of NH₄PF₆ to form [C₆Me₆Ru(CO)(PMe₃)Cl]PF₆ (III). Reduction of the cation of III with NaC₁₀H₈ in THF yields C₆Me₆Ru(CO)PMe₃ (IV) which is the first stable mononuclear areneruthenium(0) carbonyl complex. IV reacts with CF₃COOH/NH₄PF₆ and MeI/NH₄PF₆ to give the stable salts [C₆Me₆RuH(CO)PMe₃]PF₄ (V) and [C₆Me₆RuCH₃(CO)PMe₃]PF₆ (VI).

Synthese und Struktur der Komplexe [(Me2PhP)3Cl2Re≡N‐RuCl2(C6H6)] und [(Me2PhP)3Cl2Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)]

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the Complexes [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] and [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)] The heteronuclear complex [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] ( 1 ) is obtained by the reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [RuCl₂(C₆H₆)]₂ in C₆H₅CN in form of red crystals with the composition 1 ·C₆H₅CN crystallizing in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a =1149.77(8), b = 3085.9(3), c = 1172.1(1) pm, β = 104.766(9)° and Z = 4. In the dinuclear complex the complex fragment [RuCl₂(C₆H₆)] is connected by an asymmetric nitrido bridge with the nitrido complex [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃]. The nitrido bridge is characterised by a bond angle Re‐N‐Ru of 170.6(3)° and distances Re‐N = 170.2(5) and Ru‐N = 199.0(5) pm. The reaction of [ReNCl₂(PMe₂Ph)₃] with [RhCl(COD)]₂ in benzonitrile yields orange crystals of [(Me₂PhP)₃Cl₂Re≡N‐RhCl(COD)] ( 2 ) with the space group P2₁/c and a = 1522.3(2), b = 1274.85(4), c = 1921.2(2) pm, β = 106.759(7)° and Z = 4. The monovalent Rh atom exhibits a square planar coordination with the two π‐bonds of the cycloocta‐1, 5‐diene occupying cis positions. The distances in the almost linear nitrido bridge (Re‐N‐Rh = 174.8(4)°>) are Re‐N = 172.2(6) pm and Rh‐N = 195.6(6) pm.     

The Influence of N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes (NHC) on the Reactivity of [Ru(NHC)4H]+ With H2, N2, CO and O2

The five‐coordinate ruthenium N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) hydrido complexes [Ru(IiPr₂Me₂)₄H][BAr^F₄] ( 1 ; IiPr₂Me₂=1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene; Ar^F=3,5‐(CF₃)₂C₆H₃), [Ru(IEt₂Me₂)₄H][BAr^F₄] ( 2 ; IEt₂Me₂=1,3‐diethyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene) and [Ru(IMe₄)₄H][BAr^F₄] ( 3 ; IMe₄=1,3,4,5‐tetramethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene) have been synthesised following reaction of [Ru(PPh₃)₃HCl] with 4–8 equivalents of the free carbenes at ambient temperature. Complexes 1 – 3 have been structurally characterised and show square pyramidal geometries with apical hydride ligands. In both dichloromethane or pyridine solution, 1 and 2 display very low frequency hydride signals at about δ ?41. The tetramethyl carbene complex 3 exhibits a similar chemical shift in toluene, but shows a higher frequency signal in acetonitrile arising from the solvent adduct [Ru(IMe₄)₄(MeCN)H][BAr^F₄], 4 . The reactivity of 1 – 3 towards H₂ and N₂ depends on the size of the N‐substituent of the NHC ligand. Thus, 1 is unreactive towards both gases, 2 reacts with both H₂ and N₂ only at low temperature and incompletely, while 3 affords [Ru(IMe₄)₄(η²‐H₂)H][BAr^F₄] ( 7 ) and [Ru(IMe₄)₄(N₂)H][BAr^F₄] ( 8 ) in quantitative yield at room temperature. CO shows no selectivity, reacting with 1 – 3 to give [Ru(NHC)₄(CO)H][BAr^F₄] ( 9 – 11 ). Addition of O₂ to solutions of 2 and 3 leads to rapid oxidation, from which the Ru^III species [Ru(NHC)₄(OH)₂][BAr^F₄] and the Ru^IV oxo chlorido complex [Ru(IEt₂Me₂)₄(O)Cl][BAr^F₄] were isolated. DFT calculations reproduce the greater ability of 3 to bind small molecules and show relative binding strengths that follow the trend CO ? O₂ > N₂ > H₂.

The reaction of the 'benzyne' cluster Os₃H₂(CO)₉(C₆H₄) with diphenylacetylene affords the new compound Os₃(CO)₇(C₆H₄)[PhCC(H)Ph]₂; a single crystal X-ray analysis of this product shows that two PhCC(H)Ph units and the benzyne moiety are bonded to the Os₃ core as separate ligands, and that under these conditions there is no ligand condensation.     

Hypercoordinated diorganoantimony(III) compounds of types [2-(Me2NCH2)C6H4]2SbL and [PhCH2N(CH2C6H4)2]SbL (L = Cl,ONO2, OSO2CF3). Synthesis,structure and catalytic behaviour in the Henry reaction

The compounds [2-(Me₂NCH₂)C₆H₄]₂SbL (L = ONO₂ ( 2 ), OSO₂CF₃ ( 3 )) and [PhCH₂N(CH₂C₆H₄)₂]SbL (L = ONO₂ ( 5 ), OSO₂CF₃ ( 6 )) were prepared by reacting [2-(Me₂NCH₂)C₆H₄]₂SbCl ( 1 ) and [PhCH₂N(CH₂C₆H₄)₂]SbCl ( 4 ), respectively, with the appropriate silver(I) salt in a 1:1 molar ratio. The new species 2 – 6 were structurally characterized in solution using multinuclear NMR and in the solid state using infrared spectroscopy. The solid-state structures for compounds 2 , 4 and 6, as well as for the hydrolysis ionic product [{2-(Me₂N⁺HCH₂)C₆H₄}{2-(Me₂NCH₂)C₆H₄}SbOH][CF₃SO₃]⁻ ( 3h ) were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Medium to strong intramolecular N→ Sb interactions were observed in all these four compounds, thus resulting in hypercoordinated organoantimony(III) species 14-Sb-6 in 2 and 10-Sb-4 in the cation of 3h and in 4 and 6 . Compounds 1 – 6 and the starting amines PhCH₂NMe₂ and PhCH₂N(CH₂C₆H₄Br-2)₂ were investigated as catalysts in the Henry (nitroaldol) addition of nitromethane to benzaldehyde. The activity of compounds 1 – 6 resulted as an effect of the cooperation of the positively charged antimony with the negatively charged nitrogen.

Treatment of NdCl₃(THF)₂ and LuCl₃(THF)₃ with the lithium salts of the bulky amides [N(C₆H₃R₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)]^? (R = Me, iso-Pr) results in the formation of the lanthanide diamides [Li(THF)₂(μ-Cl)₂Nd{N(C₆H₃Me₂-2, 6)(SiMe₃)}₂(THF)] ( 11 ) and [ClLn{N(C₆H₃-iso-Pr₂-2,6)(SiMe₃)} ₂(THF)] [Ln = Nd ( 12 ), Lu ( 13 )], respectively.

Zn3(C6H14N2)3[B6P12O39(OH)12] · (C6H14N2)[HPO4]: A Chiral Borophosphate – Triethylenediammonium Hydrogenphosphate Composite

A novel borophosphate, Zn₃(C₆H₁₄N₂)₃[B₆P₁₂O₃₉(OH)₁₂] · (C₆H₁₄N₂)[HPO₄] has been synthesised under mild hydrothermal conditions at T = 165 °C. The chiral crystal structure was determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction data (trigonal, R3 (no. 146), Z = 3, a = 2089.55(4) pm, c = 1237.03(4) pm, V = 4677.5(2) · 10⁶ pm³, R₁ = 0.066, wR₂ = 0.164 for 5100 observed reflections). The title compound can be considered as an ordered composite of the two different and neutral structures which fit into each other: An open framework of composition Zn₃(C₆H₁₄N₂)₃[B₆P₁₂O₃₉(OH)₁₂] and columns of composition (C₆H₁₄N₂)[HPO₄]. The framework structure is formed by mixed octahedral‐tetrahedral secondary building units, in a three‐dimensional arrangement reflecting a hierarchical derivative of the NbO structure type. The underlying NbO topology is illustrated with the help of Periodic Nodal Surfaces. The composite nature of the compound is resolved in the spatial segregation of two frameworks with a separating surface.     

(C5H14N2)[Zn3(HPO4)4], a New 3D Open‐framework Zincophosphate Synthesized by Hydrothermal Reversible Transformation of (C5H14N2)[Zn2(HPO4)3]·H2O

In the system ZnO/H₃PO₄/H₂O/1,4‐diazacycloheptane (C₅H₁₂N₂), a new zincophosphate (ZnPO), (C₅H₁₄N₂)[Zn₃(HPO₄)₄] ( I ), was prepared by hydrothermal transformation (180 °C) of the known ZnPO hydrate (C₅H₁₄N₂)[Zn₂(HPO₄)₃]·H₂O ( II ). The thermally‐induced transformation is reversible; upon keeping the heterogeneous mixture of I and mother liquor at 80 °C recrystallization of II was observed. Single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography revealed that I possesses a unique three‐dimensional (3D) open‐framework structure built from corner‐linked ZnO₄ and HPO₄ tetrahedra. The (3,4)‐connected framework of I differs considerably from the 3D open‐framework ZnPO structure of II . Crystal data for I : Monoclinic system, space group Cc (No. 9) , Z = 4, a = 9.1389(6), b = 23.627(2), c = 9.3073(6) Å, β = 109.463(7)°, T = 298 K.     

Benzodithiazolium‐Chlorooxomolybdate(V): Darstellung und Kristallstruktur von (C6H4NS2)[MoOCl4] und (C6H4NS2)[MoOCl4·H2O]

Benzodithiazolium Chlorooxomolybdate(V): Preparation and Crystal Structure of (C₆H₄NS₂)[MoOCl₄] and (C₆H₄NS₂)[MoOCl₄·H₂O] Red benzo‐1,3,2‐dithiazolium‐chlorooxomolybdate(V) (C₆H₄NS₂)[MoOCl₄] ( 1 ) was obtained by the reaction of benzo‐1,3,2‐dithiazoliumchloride and molybdenum(V)chloride oxide in dichlormethane under solvothermal conditions at 70 °C. In the presence of small amounts of concentrated hydrochloric acid the yellow compound (C₆H₄NS₂)[MoOCl₄·H₂O] ( 2 ) is formed under analogue conditions. Both crystal structures ( 1 : monoclinic, C2/c, a = 799.2(1), b = 2091.5(2), c = 791.5(1) pm, β = 102.2(1)°, Z = 4; 2 : monoclinic, Cc, a = 953.7(1), b = 2468.9(3), c = 608.1(1) pm, β = 112.5(1)°, Z = 4) contain the planar benzo‐1,3,2‐dithiazolium ion. Within the structure of 1 the molybdenum atoms in the [MoOCl₄]^? ions are coordinated in a square pyramidal fashion with an oxygen atom in apical position and the basal plane formed by chlorine atoms. The nitrogen atom of the cation, which bears a partial negativ charge, expands the coordination to a distorted octahedron. The structure therefore is made up of ionic pairs {(C₆H₄NS₂)⁺ [MoOCl₄]^?} with a Mo–N distance of 266 pm. 1 is paramagnetic with a magnetic moment of 1.7 B.M. corresponding to one unpaired electron per formula unit. In the structure of 2 the coordination of the [MoOCl₄]^? ion is expanded by the oxygen atom of a coordinating water molecule. The structure is dominated by hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of the [MoOCl₄·H₂O]^? ions which cause the concatenation of the anions to infinite chains.

The reaction of Na₂[Mo₆Cl₈(OCH₃)₆] and 2,2,2-crypt yields (C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆Na)₂[Mo₆Cl₈(OCH₃)₆] · 6 CH₃OH ( 1 ), which is converted to (C₁₈H₃₆N₂O₆Na)₂[Mo₆Cl₈(OC₆H₅)₆] ( 2 ) by metathesis with phenol. According to single crystal structure determinations ( 1 : P3 1c, a=14.613(3) Å, c=21.036(8) Å; 2 : P3 1c, a=15.624(1) Å, c=19.671(2) Å) the compounds contain anionic clusters [Mo₆Cl₈ⁱ(OR^a)₆]^2?

A Ruthenium Bridge in Fullerene–Ferrocene Arrays: Synthesis of [Ru(C60Me5)R(CO)2] (R=C6H4Fc,C≡CFc) and Their Charge‐Transfer Properties

New fullerene–ferrocene arrays, [Ru(C₆₀Me₅)(C₄H₆Fc)(CO)₂] (Fc=ferrocenyl) and [Ru(C₆₀Me₅)(CCFc)(CO)₂], in which the ruthenium complex functions as a conjugative bridge, were synthesized by the reaction of [Ru(C₆₀Me₅)Cl(CO)₂] with FcC₆H₄MgBr and FcCCLi, respectively. These compounds were investigated by electrochemical measurement, single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis, and photophysical measurement. Upon photoirradiation, the former compound was converted rapidly into the corresponding triplet state in toluene (τ_singlet=21 ps), whereas the charge‐separated state was predominant in THF (τ_singlet=10.5 ps; τ_CS=355 ps). The latter compound, on the other hand, formed the charge‐separated state in both toluene and THF (τ_singlet=3.0 ps; τ_CS=152 ps). Thus, the structural difference between the phenylene and acetylene bridges in 1 and 2 , respectively, was found to change the outcome of the photophysical processes.     

Synthesis of mononuclear and oligomeric ruthenium(II) acetylides

The complexes trans-[Ru(PMe₃)₄(CCPh)₂] and trans-[Ru(PMe₃)₄(CCC₆H₄C₆H₄CCSnMe₃)₂] have been prepared from the reaction between trans-[Ru(PMe₃)₄Cl₂] and an excess of either Me₃SnCCPh or Me₃SnCCRCCSnMe₃ (R = p-C₆H₄C₆H₄), respectively. However, if only one equivalent of the latter reagent is used the rod-like polymeric species trans-[-Ru(PMe₃)₄CCRCC-]_n can be isolated.     

Crystal and Molecular Structure of [2,6‐(Me2NCH2)2C6H3]2SnF2, an Intramolecularly Coordinated Diorganotin Difluoride

Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of [2,6‐(Me₂NCH₂)₂C₆H₃]₂SnF₂ reveals that only one of the two dimethylaminomethyl groups of each pincer‐type ligands [2,6‐(CH₂NMe₂)₂C₆H₃]^? is coordinated to the tin atom at Sn‐N distances of 2.576(2) and 2.470(2) Å, inducing chirality of the latter. The tin atom exhibits a distorted octahedral trans(C,C)cis(N,N)cis(F,F) configuration. Extensive intra‐ and intermolecular C‐H···F hydrogen bonding is observed with the latter giving rise to formation of polymeric chains.
