Functionalized bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes by organotin halide on the methine carbon atom and their related reactions

The modification of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes by organotin halide on the methine carbon atom has been successfully carried out, and their related reactions have also been studied. Bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)(iododiphenylstannyl)methane [Ph₂ISnCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂] can be obtained by the selective cleavage of the Sn-C_sp² bond in bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)triphenylstannylmethane with I₂ in a 1:1 molar ratio, while {di(tert-butyl)chlorostannyl}bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane [(t-Bu)₂ClSnCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂] and {di(tert-butyl)chlorostannyl}bis(3,4,5-trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane [(t-Bu)₂ClSnCH(3,4,5-Me₃Pz)₂] are easily prepared by the reaction of the bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methide or bis(3,4,5-trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methide anion with di(tert-butyl)tin dichloride. The molecular structure of [(t-Bu)₂ClSnCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂] determined by X-ray structure analysis indicates that bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methide acts as a bidentate monoanionic κ²-[C,N] chelating ligand. Reaction of these bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes functionalized by organotin halide with W(CO)₅THF results in the oxidative addition of the relative electrophilic Sn-X (X = Cl or I) bond instead of the Sn-C_sp³ bond to the tungsten(0) atom, yielding new metal-metal bonded complexes R₂SnCHPz₂W(CO)₃X (R = Ph or t-Bu, Pz represents substituted pyrazol-1-yl). Furthermore, treatment of the oxidative addition product (t-Bu)₂SnCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂W(CO)₃Cl with n-BuLi results in known complex CH₂(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂W(CO)₄ with the loss of the organotin fragment. In addition, reaction of Ph₂ISnCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂ with 2-PySNa (Py = pyridyl) leads to the replacement of iodide by 2-PyS⁻ anion to give Ph₂(2-PyS)SnCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂, which subsequently reacts with W(CO)₅THF to result in the decomposition of this ligand, also yielding the known bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane derivative of CH₂(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂W(CO)₄.     

Mono- and heteroligand iron(II) complexes with tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane

Coordination compounds of iron(II) thiocyanate with tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (HC(3,5-Me₂Pz)₃), [Fe(HC(3,5-Me₂Pz)₃)₂](NCS)₂] (I) and [Fe(HC(3,5-Me₂Pz)₃)(Рhz)(NCS)₂] · H₂O (II), where Рhz is phthalazine, are synthesized. The complexes are studied by X-ray diffraction analysis, diffuse reflectance and IR spectroscopy, and static magnetic susceptibility measurements. The single crystals are obtained, and the molecular and crystal structures of complex II and compounds [Fe(HC(3,5-Me₂Pz)₃)(3,5-Me₂Pz)(NCS)₂] · С₂H₅OH (III), where 3,5-Me₂Pz is 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, and [Fe(HC(3,5-Me₂Pz)₃)₂][Fe(HC(3,5-Me₂Pz)₃)(NCS)₃]₂ (IV) are determined (CIF files CCDC 1415452 (II), 1415453 (III), and 1415454 (IV)). The study of the temperature dependence μ_eff(Т) in a range of 2–300 K shows exchange interactions of the antiferromagnetic character between the iron(II) ions in complexes I and II.     

The modification of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes by chalcogen (S and Se) and their related reactions with organotin chloride and M(CO)5THF (M = Mo and W)

The modification of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane by sulfur or selenium on the methine carbon has been successfully carried out by the reaction of the bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methide anion, prepared in situ by the reaction of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane with n-BuLi, with elemental sulfur or selenium. These bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methylthiolate or selenolate anions reacted with Ph₂SnCl₂ to form new organotin derivatives CH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂ESnPh₂Cl (Pz = pyrazol-1-yl, E = S (1) or Se (2)), which have been characterized by NMR, IR and elemental analysis. The molecular structure of 2 determined by X-ray structure analysis indicates that bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methylselenolate is a bidentate monoanionic κ²-[N,Se] chelating ligand. The treatment of CH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂ESnPh₂Cl with W(CO)₅THF resulted in the decomposition of ligands to yield pyrazole derivative of (3,5-Me₂PzH)W(CO)₅, while direct treatment of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methylthiolate or selenolate anions with M(CO)₅THF (M = Mo or W) formed their tricarbonyl metal anions . Succedent reaction of these carbonyl metal anions with Ph₂SnCl₂ or Ph₃SnCl yielded heterobimetalic compounds CH(Pz)₂EM(CO)₃SnPh_nCl_3−n (n = 2 or 3), which have also been characterized by ¹H NMR, IR and elemental analysis. The structure of CH(3,4,5-Me₃Pz)₂SW(CO)₃SnPh₃ (8) has been confirmed by X-ray single crystal diffraction, showing that bis(3,4,5-trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methylthiolate acts as a tridentate, monoanionic κ³-[N,S,N] chelating ligand.     

乙烯基锡修饰的双吡唑甲烷第六族金属羰基化合物的合成与反应

通过双吡唑基甲基锂与二苯基乙烯基碘化锡的反应, 合成了桥头碳上带有乙烯基锡修饰的双吡唑甲烷配体。在回流的THF中这些乙烯基锡修饰的双吡唑甲烷配体(R3SnCHPz2, R3Sn为三乙烯基锡或二苯基乙烯基锡;Pz代表取代吡唑)与M(CO)5THF (M = Mo或W)反应产生杂双金属化合物R3SnCHPz2M(CO)3。在这些化合物中,一个乙烯基以h2方式配位到金属钼或钨上,双吡唑甲烷表现为一个三齿k3-(p,N,N)配体。(CH2=CH)3SnCH(3,5-Me2Pz)2W(CO)3和Ph2(CH2=CH)SnCH(3,5-Me2Pz)2W(CO)3与I2的反应也被研究。前者给出化合物CH2(3,5-Me2Pz)2W(CO)4,而后者随着有机锡的丢失产生四元金属杂环化合物CH(3,5-Me2Pz)2W(CO)3I。用PhSNa处理该四元金属杂环化合物导致碘负离子被取代,得到化合物CH(3,5-Me2Pz)2W(CO)3SPh。     

Reactivity of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes functionalized by 2-hydroxyphenyl and 2-methoxyphenyl on the methine carbon atom with W(CO)5THF

Reactions of 2-hydroxyphenyl and 2-methoxyphenylbis(pyrazol-1-yl)methanes as well as 2-hydroxyphenyl and 2-methoxyphenylbis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methanes with W(CO)₅THF have been carried out. Heating 2-hydroxyphenylbis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L¹) with W(CO)₅THF in THF at reflux yielded complex (L¹)W(CO)₄.L¹, while similar reaction of 2-hydroxyphenylbis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (L²) with W(CO)₅THF resulted in the cleavage of a C_sp3-N bond to generate 1,2-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)ethane (L) and pyrazole derivative W(CO)₅(3,5-Me₂PzH) (Pz = pyrazol-1-yl). These two fragments were connected together through strong O…H-N and O-H…N hydrogen bonds to form complex L.[W(CO)₅(3,5-Me₂PzH)]₂. The analogous results were observed in the treatment of 2-methoxyphenylbis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (L³) with W(CO)₅THF, which gave product L′.[W(CO)₅(PzH)]₂ (L′ = 1,2-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)ethane) as well as certain amount of complex (L³)W(CO)₄. In addition, during the reaction of 2-methoxyphenylbis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (L⁴) with W(CO)₅THF, partial decomposition reactions took place to yield complexes (L⁴)W(CO)₄ and W(CO)₅(3,5-Me₂PzH), but no hydrogen bond was found between these two moieties.     

New multidentate heteroscorpionate ligands: N-Phenyl-2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide and ethyl 2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate as well as their derivatives

New multidentate heteroscorpionate ligands, N-phenyl-2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide PhHNCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂ (1), N-phenyl-2,2-bis(3,4,5-trimethylpyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide PhHNCSCH(3,4,5-Me₃Pz)₂ (2), and ethyl 2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate EtSCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂ (8), have been synthesized and their coordination chemistry studied. These heteroscorpionate ligands can act as monodentate, bidentate, or tridentate ligands, depending on the coordinate properties of different metals. Reaction of W(CO)₆ with 1 or 2 under UV irradiation yields monosubstituted carbonyl tungsten complexes W(CO)₅L (L = 1 or 2), in which N-phenyl-2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide acts as a monodentate ligand by the s-coordination to the tungsten atom. In addition, these monosubstituted tungsten complexes have also been obtained by heating ligand 1 or 2 with W(CO)₅THF in THF. While similar reaction of Fe(CO)₅ with 1, 2, or 8 under UV irradiation results in tricarbonyl iron complexes PhHNCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂Fe(CO)₃ (5), PhHNCSCH(3,4,5-Me₃Pz)₂Fe(CO)₃ (6), and EtSCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂Fe(CO)₃ (9), respectively, in which N-phenyl-2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide or ethyl 2,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)dithioacetate acts as a bidentate ligand through one pyrazolyl nitrogen atom and the CS π-bond in an η²-C,S fashion side-on bonded to the iron atom to adopt a neutral bidentate κ²-(π,N) coordination mode. Treatment of the lithium salt of 1 with Co(ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O gives complex [PhNCSCH(3,5-Me₂Pz)₂]₂Co(ClO₄) with the oxidation of cobalt(II) to cobalt(III), in which N-phenyl-2,2-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)thioacetamide acts as a tridentate monoanionic κ³-(N,N,S) chelating ligand by two pyrazolyl nitrogen atoms and the sulfur atom of the enolized thiolate anion.

These complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, IR, and NMR and compared with the related polypyrazolylborate complexes of the group VI metal carbonyls.

Highly reduced organometallics: XI. Formal derivatives of the tricarbonylmetallates (6-) of chromium,molybdenum and tungsten

Reduction of W(CO)₃(PMTA) (PMTA = 1,1,4,7,7-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) by six equivalents of potassium metal in liquid ammonia provides an incompletely characterized highly reduced carbonyltungstate ion which reacts with several electrophiles to provide derivatives containing only tungsten tricarbonyl units. These include W(CO)₃(NH₃)₃, [W₃(CO)₉(μ-OC₂H₅)(μ₃-OC₂H₅)₂]^3-, HW(CO)₃(SnPh₃)₃^2- and the unusual [(Ph₃Sn)₂{(Ph₂Sn)₂OEt}W(CO)₃]^?. The latter compound results from an unprecedented phenyl-tin cleavage in the reaction of triphenyltin chloride and the highly reduced carbonyltungstate ion. Triphenyltin derivatives of the unknown M(CO)₃^6- (M = Cr, Mo and W) have also been prepared by reacting M(CO)₃(SnPh₃)₃^3- with Brønsted acids and Ph₃SnCl. From these reactions the previously unknown HM(CO)₃(SnPh₃)₃^2- (M = Cr, Mo and W) and M(CO)₃(Ph₃Sn)₄^2- (M = Mo and W) have been isolated and characterized. The latter are the first compounds containing more than three triphenyltin units attached to one transition metal.     

Correlation of the reactivity of organometallic chlorides in the oxidation of magnesium with the electronic structure of the organic moiety

From the linear correlation of the chemical shift (¹⁹F) in compounds R-C≡C-C₆H₄-F-p (reference PhF, solvent to-luene) with the Hammett σ _p constants of substituents R, the σ _p constants of organometallic substituents R [Cp(CO)₃Mo, Cp(CO)₃W, Cp(CO)₂Fe, Cp(PPh₃)Ni, Ph₂Bi, Ph₂Sb, Ph₃Sn] were calculated.

Synthesis,structures, and electrocatalytic properties of phosphine-monodentate, −chelate,and -bridge diiron 2,2-dimethylpropanedithiolate complexes related to [FeFe]-hydrogenases

To further extend diiron subsite models of [FeFe]-hydrogenases, the various substitutions of all-carbonyl diiron complex Fe₂(μ-Me₂pdt)(CO)₆ ( A , Me₂pdt = (SCH₂)₂CMe₂) with monophosphines or small bite-angle diphosphines are studied as follows. Firstly, the monodentate complexes Fe₂(μ-Me₂pdt)(CO)₅{κ¹-P(C₆H₄R-p)₃} [R = Me ( 1a ) and Cl ( 1b )] and Fe₂(μ-Me₂pdt)(CO)₅{κ¹-Ph₂PX'} [X' = NHPh ( 2a ) and CH₂PPh₂ ( 2b )] are readily afforded through the Me₃NO-assisted reactions of A with monophosphines P(C₆H₄R-p)₃ (R = Me, Cl) and diphosphines (Ph₂P)₂X (X = NPh, CH₂ (dppm)) in MeCN at room temperature, respectively. Secondly, the chelate complexes Fe₂(μ-Me₂pdt)(CO)₄(κ²-(Ph₂P)₂X) [X = NPh ( 3a ) and NBuⁿ ( 3b )] can be efficiently prepared by the UV-irradiated reactions of A with small bite-angle diphosphines (Ph₂P)₂X (X = NPh, NBuⁿ) in toluene. Thirdly, the bridge complexes Fe₂(μ-Me₂pdt)(CO)₄(μ-(Ph₂P)₂X) [X = NPh ( 4a ) and CH₂ ( 4b )] are well obtained from the refluxing solutions of A and diphosphines (Ph₂P)₂X (X = NPh, CH₂) in xylene. Rarely, the diphosphine-bridge complex 4b may be produced in low yield via the UV-irradiated solutions of A and the dppm ligand in toluene emitting at 365 nm. Eight new complexes obtained above have been well characterized by using element analysis, FT-IR, NMR (¹H, ³¹P) spectroscopies, and particularly for 1a , 1b , 2a , 3b , 4a , 4b by X-ray crystallography. Meanwhile, the electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of three representative complexes 2a , 3a , and 4a with pendant N-phenyl groups are investigated and compared by using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in the absence and presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as a proton source, indicating that they are all found to be active for electrocatalytic proton reduction to hydrogen (H₂).     

Organotransition-Metal Complexes of Multidentates 2. Synthesis and Allyl Bromination of N,N-Bis(3,5-Dimethylpyrazol-1-YL)Methane Derivatives of the Group VI Metal Carbonyls

N,N-Bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (H₂CPz'₂) reacts with the hexacarbonyls of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten to give cis-(H₂CPz'₂)M(CO)₄ derivatives with M=Cr, Mo, W. The direct allyl bromination of these complexes is also investigated and only the molybdenum complex is converted into (H₂CPz'₂)Mo(CO)₂(π-C₃H₃)(Br).     

Pentadiynylidyne and Pentacarbido Complexes

The reaction of the halocarbyne [W(≡CBr)(CO)₂(Tp*)] (Tp*=hydrotris(3,5‐dimethylpyrazol‐1‐yl)borate) with trimethylsilyl‐butadiyne, mediated by [Pd(PPh₃)₄] and CuI, affords the first pentadiynylidyne complex [W(≡CC≡CC≡CSiMe₃)(CO)₂(Tp*)]. Desilylation provides a general route to heterobimetallic pentacarbido complexes, including [(Tp*)(CO)₂W(μ‐C₅)(PPh₃)₂Ru(η‐C₅H₅)] and [(Ph₃P)₂(CO)HIr{(μ‐C₅)W(CO)₂(Tp*)}₂].     

Synthesis,structures, and magnetic properties of crystals of dinuclear copper(II) and cobalt(II) complexes with 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-R-1,2,4,5-tetrazines

Dinuclear complexes of Cu^II with 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-(2-hydroxyethylami-no)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine (1) and CoII with 3-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-6-(piperidin-1-yl)-1,2,4,5- tetrazine (2) were synthesized and structurally characterized, and the magnetic (SQUID) and resonance (EPR) properties of van der Waals crystals based on these complexes were studied. Unusual behavior of the effective magnetic moment μ_eff(T) is observed at T < 60 K. A nonmonotonic increase in μeff(?) for 1 (s~6 %) and a 20% reduction of μeff(?) for 2 have a common origin and are due to the influence of spin-orbital coupling on the character of the splitting between the t2g and eg levels of the central ion. Distortions of the coordination site “switch on” a positive (1) or negative (2) contribution of the orbital magnetic moment near 6 K. Irreversible temperature behavior of μeff(T) in the heating and cooling regimes in the vicinity of 60 K suggests that the character of structural distortions and the magnetic properties are related to ligand geometry. This factor plays a significant role in crystal engineering of magnetoactive structures with polynitrogen ligands.

Coordinatively Unsaturated Diruthenium Complexes: Synthesis and X‐ray Crystal Structures of [Ru₂(CO)_n(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] (n = 4; 5) and [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂)] The reaction of [Ru₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₅(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)] ( 2 ) with dppm yields the dinuclear species [Ru₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 3 ) (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂). Under thermal or photolytic conditions 3 loses very easily one carbonyl ligand and affords the corresponding electronically and coordinatively unsaturated complex [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ). 4 is also obtainable by an one‐pot synthesis from [Ru₃(CO)₁₂], an excess of ^tBu₂PH and stoichiometric amounts of dppm via the formation of [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(^tBu₂PH)₂] ( 1 ). 4 exhibits a Ru–Ru double bond which could be confirmed by addition of methylene to the dimetallacyclopropane [Ru₂(CO)₄(μ‐CH₂)(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ). The molecular structures of 3 , 4 and 5 were determined by X‐ray crystal structure analyses.
