Alternativ-Liganden. XXVI [1]. M(CO)4L-Komplexe (M  Cr,Mo, W) der Chelatliganden Me2ESiMe2(CH2)2E′Me2 (Me  CH3; E  P,As; E′  N,P, As)

Alternative Ligands. XXVI. M(CO)₄ L-Complexes (M ? Cr, Mo, W) of the Chelating Ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂ (Me ? CH₃; E ? P, As; E′ ? N, P, As) The reaction of M(CO)₄NBD (NBD = norbornadiene; M ? Cr, Mo, W) with the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂ yields the chelate complexes (CO)₄M[Me₂ESiMe₂]) for E,E′ ? P, As, but not for E and /or E′ ? N. The NSi group is not suited for coordination because of strong (p-d)π-interaction. In the case of the ligands with E ? P or As and E′ ? N chelate complexes can be detected in the reaction mixture, but isolable products are complexes with two ligands coordinated via the E donor group. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, MS) investigations. The spectroscopic data are also used to deduce the coordinating properties of the ligands. X-ray diffraction studies of the molybdenum complexes (CO)₄Mo[Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂AsMe ₂] (E ? P, As) in accord with the observed coordination effects show only small differences between SiE and CE donor functions. Attempts to use the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂AsMe₂ (E ? P, As) for the preparation of Fe(CO)₃L complexes result in the fission of the SiE bonds and the formation of the binuclear systems Fe₂(CO)₆(EMe₂)₂ (E ? P, As) together with the disilane derivative [Me₂Si(CH₂)₂AsMe₂]₂.

Preparation of Chelating Ligands of the Type Me₂XSiMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ (Me = CH₃; X, X′ = N, P and/or As) Chelating Ligands of the general type Me₂XSiMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ (Me = CH₃; X, X′ = N, P As) are obtained from ClSiMe₂CH₂Cl by the following reactions (see “Inhaltsübersicht”). The new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR, MS).     

Alternativ-Liganden. III. Koordinatives verhalten von chelatliganden des typs me2XSi(Me2)CH2XMe2 (X  N und/oder P: Me  CH3)

Co-ordinative Properties of Chelating Ligands of the Type Me₂XSi(Me₂)CH₂XMe₂ (X ? N and/or P; Me ? CH₃) The reactions of the ligands L ? Me₂XSi(Me₂)CH₂XMe₂ (X ? N and/or P; Me ? CH₃) with M(CO)₆ and M(CO)₄norbor (norbor ? norbornadiene) (M ? Cr, Mo), respectively, yield derivatives of the types M(CO)₅L, M(CO)₄L, and M(CO)₄L₂, respectively. M(CO)₅L compounds are formed from the hexacarbonyls with Me₂NSiMe₂CH₂PMe₂, whereas the ligand Me₂NSiMe₂CH₂NMe₂ does not afford analogous derivatives under the same conditions. Even on substitution of the diene-ligand in M(CO)₄norbor by Me₂NSiMe₂CH₂PMe₂ the chelate complexes M(CO)₄NMe₂SiMe₂CH₂PMe₂ are not obtained, but the cis-disubstituted products M(CO)₄[PMe₂CH₂SiMe₂NMe₂]₂ with phosphorus acting as donor atom are produced. The ligands Me₂PSiMe₂CH₂XMe₂(X ? N, P) give the chelate complexes M(CO)₄PMe₂SiMe₂CH₂XMe₂ in high yields. The new compounds were identified by analytical and spectroscopic (PMR, IR, mass spectra) methods.     

Alternativ-Liganden. VIII. Chelatkomplexe des Typs M(CO)4(Me2XGeMe2CH2X′Me2) (M = Cr,Mo, W; X,X′ = N,P, As; Me = CH3)

Chelate Complexes of the Type M(CO)₄(Me₂XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂) (M) = Cr, Mo, W; X, X′ = N, P, As; Me = CH₃) The ligands (Me₂)XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ (M) = Cr, Mo, W) react with M(CO)₄norbor (norbor = Norbornadiene) (M = Cr, Mo, W) yielding the chelate complexes M(CO)₄(Me)₂XGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂). compounds of low thermal stability are formed with the ligands (Me₂NGeMe₂CH₂X′Me₂ because of the weak donor ability of the GeNMe₂ group and with Me₂AsGeMe₂CH₂NMe₂ caused by strong steric ring tension. The new compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (n.m.r., i.r., m.s.) investigations.     

Silaethene. III. Versuche zur Darstellung und spektroskopischen Charakterisierung von H2SiCH2, D2SiCH2 und Me(H)SiCH2

Silaethenes. III. Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of H₂Si?CH₂, D₂Si?CH₂, and Me(H)Si?CH₂ H₂Si?CH₂ and D₂Si?CH₂ are formed together with ethene and propene by gas phase pyrolysis at low pressure (10^?2–10^?3 mbar) from the corresponding mono- or 1,3-disilacyclobutanes in good yield and are characterized by i.r. and mass spectroscopic methods. Formation of propene can be explained by following reactions of the silaethene intermediate using a “head-to-head” mechanism. H₂Si?CH₂ can be stored at ?196°C for several months and can be transferred by trap-to-trap distillation in a vacuum system. Similar results are obtained for .     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXXI. Nickelcarbonylkomplexe mit Tripod-Liganden des Typs XM′(OCH2PMe2)n(CH2CH2PR2)3–n (M′ = Si,Ge; n = 0–3)

Alternative Ligands. XXXI. Nickelcarbonyl Complexes of Tripod Ligands of the Type XM′(OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PR₂)_3–n (M′ = Si, Ge; n = 0–3) The coordinating properties of the tripod ligands RM′(OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)_3–n (M′ = Si, Ge) ( 1–7 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂P(CF₃)₂ ( 8 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂NMe₂( 10 ) as well as of the tetradentate representative Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄ ( 9 ) have been investigated by the preparation of the novel nickel carbonyl complexes LNiCO ( 11–18 ), Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄[Ni(CO)₂]₂ ( 19 ) and (HOCH₂PMe₂)₂Ni(CO)₂ ( 20 ). They are obtained in moderate to good yields by the reaction of Ni(CO)₄ with the corresponding ligands in toluene (20–111°C) (see Table 1). The new compounds have been characterized by analytical (C, H) and spectroscopic investigations (IR; ¹H-, ¹³C-, ¹⁹F, ³¹P-NMR, MS). The ligand properties are discussed on the basis of spectroscopic data [in particular coordination shifts Δδ = δ(complex)—δ(ligand)] leading to the conclusion that the high electron density on Ni gives rise to a weak, but significant Ni→Si interaction. An important indication comes from the large low field shift Δδ_F = 34.5 ppm for the SiF acceptor bridge in 17 . This result is supported by an X-ray diffraction study of 11 giving an NiSi distance of 3.941(2) Å. With the exception of O2…?P3 (Abb. 7) all other O…?P through-cage contacts are longer than the NiSi distance. An additional release from the high charge density on Ni is obtained via π-backbonding to the neighbouring groups OCPMe₂, CCPMe₂ and CO.     

Neue Synthesen von Me2SbX (X = Cl,I) und Kristallstrukturen von Me2SbI und [(Me3Si)2CH]2SbCl

Novel Syntheses of Me₂SbX (X = Cl, I) and Crystal Structures of Me₂SbI and [(Me₃Si)₂CH]₂SbCl The crystal structures of Me₂SbI (Me = CH₃) and [(Me₃Si)₂CH]₂SbCl have been determined by X‐ray methods. Both molecules are pyramidal. The Me₂SbI molecules are associated to chains through short intermolecular Sb…I distances (366,7(1) pm) with linear I–Sb…I units (171,87(4)°) and bent Sb–I…Sb bridges (116,83(3)°).     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXX [1] Neue Tripod-Liganden XM' (OCH2PMe2)n(CH2CH2PMe2)3−n (M' = Si; Ge; n = 0–3) für Käfigstrukturen

Alternative Ligands. XXX Novel Tripod Ligands XM' (OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)_3?n (M' = Si, Ge; n = 0–3) for Cage Structures Attempts to prepare new tripod ligands XSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₃ [X = CF₃ ( 15 ), C₆F₅ ( 16 ), NMe₂ ( 17 ), Cl ( 18 ), F ( 19 ), H ( 20 ), OEt ( 21 ), OMe ( 22 )] prove to be unsuccessful in spite of using different pathways, because the groups X undergo following reactions giving insoluble solids (polyadducts) or form inseparable mixtures, e. g. (RO)_nSi(OCH₂PMe₂)_4?n (R = Me, Et). In many cases Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄ ( 13 ) can be isolated from the reaction mixture. The syntheses of the ligands XSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃ [X = NMe₂ ( 6 ), Cl ( 7 ), F ( 8 ), OMe ( 9 ), Vi ( 12 )], Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄ ( 13 ) und Me₃GeOCH₂PMe₂ ( 14 ) are successful. The compounds MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂NMe₂ ( 10 ) and MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂P(CF₃)₂ ( 11 ) with different donor groups are obtained in good yields. The preparative program includes the synthesis of the known representatives MeSi(OCH₂PMe₃)₃ ( 1 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂PMe₂ ( 2 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₂ ( 3 ), MeSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃ ( 4 ) and MeGe(OCH₂PMe₂)₃ ( 5 ). Important preparative steps are the substitution of M'Cl (M' = Si, Ge) by Me₂PCH₂O groups and the photochemically induced or base catalyzed addition of HNMe₂, HPMe₂ or HP(CF₃)₂ to SiVi functions. The novel compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, MS) investigations.     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXV. Neue Chelatliganden des Typs Me2ESiMe2(CH2)2E′Me2 (E=P,As; E′=N,P, As)

Alternative Ligands. XXV. New Chelating Ligands of the Type Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′Me₂ (E=P, As; E′=N, P, As) Chelating ligands of the type Me₂EsiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′ Me₂, have been prepared by the following routes: Starting from Me₂Si(Vi)Cl, the compounds with E=N and E′ =N ( 1 ), P ( 2 ), As ( 3 ) are obtained in yields of 65 to 78% by aminolysis to yield Me₂NSiMe₂Vi, followed by the LiE′ Me₂ catalyzed addition of He′Me₂ to the vinyl group. The intermediates ClSiMe₂(CH₂)E′Me₂ [E′=N ( 4 ), P ( 5 ), As ( 6 )] are produced by the reactions of 1 to 3 with PhPCl₂. 5 and 6 can be prepared in a purer form by the photochemical addition of HPMe₂ and HAsMe₂, respectively, to the vinyl group of Me₂Si(Vo)Cl. 4 to 6 react with LiEMe₂, in situ prepared from n-BuLi and HEMe₂, to yield the ligands Me₂ESiMe₂(CH₂)₂E′Me₂ ( 7–12 ) (E=P, As; E′=N, P, As). The new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectroscopic investigations (NMR, MS).     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXI. Neue Donor/Akzeptor-Liganden Me2PCH2CH2SiFnMe3-n,Me2PCH2CH2SiR(C6H4F)2 und (2-Me2PC6H4)SiXMe2

Alternative Ligands. XXI. Novel Donor/Acceptor Ligands Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiF_nMe_3-n, Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiR(C₆H₄F)₂, and (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ Donor/acceptor ligands of the type Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiX₃ [X = Cl ( 1 ), F ( 2 ), Me ( 3 ), OMe ( 4 )], (Me₂PCH₂CH₂)₂SiX₂ [X = Cl ( 6 ), F ( 7 )], Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiX(C₆H₄F)₂ [X = F ( 5 ), Me ( 8 )], and Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiX_nMe_3-n[n = 1; X = Cl ( 10 ), F ( 11 ); n = 2; X = F ( 9 )] are prepared in yields between 42 and 95% by photochemical addition of Me₂PH to the corresponding vinylsilane precursors. In case of the halogen containing representatives formation of solid polyadducts, due to Lewis acid/base interaction between P-donor and Si-acceptor function, reduces the yields. Ligands of the type (2-Me₂PC₆H₄)SiXMe₂ [X = NMe₂ ( 12 ), Cl ( 13 ), F ( 14 )] are obtained by two different routes (Abb. 3), using 2-chlorobromobenzene as the starting material. New compounds have been characterized by analytical (C, H) and spectroscopic (NMR, MS) investigations. In order to elucidate the associative properties compounds 2 and 9 were used for the following experiments:

• – Study of the influence of dissolution on the proton and fluorine resonances of 2 and 9 ,
• – investigation of the adduct equilibrium (–H₂CF₃Si←PMe₂CH₂–)n + nBF₃ → n[F₃B←PMe₂CH₂CH₂SiF₃],
• – cleavage of the polyadduct of 2 using [NH₄]F and [Me₄N]F, respectively, for the formation of hexacoordinate complex anions [Me₂PCH₂CH₂SiF₅]^2?.

The results obtained confirm the assumption that oligo- and polymerisation are due to P→Si interaction.     

LSn(OCH2CH2)2NR (L = lone pair,W(CO)5; R = Me,t‐Bu). The Molecular Structures of 5‐Aza‐2,8‐dioxa‐1‐stannabicyclo[3.3.0]1.5octanes and Their Tungstenpentacarbonyl Complexes

Single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses of LSn(OCH₂CH₂)₂NR [ 1 , R = Me, L = lone pair; 2 , R = Me, L = W(CO)₅; 3 , R = t‐Bu, L = W(CO)₅] reveal these compounds to be dimeric and cis‐configurated. The dimerization is realized by intramolecular O→Sn interactions to give four‐membered Sn₂O₂‐rings. In addition, there are intramolecular N→Sn interactions ranging in between 2.356(5) ( 2 ) and 2.549(4) Å ( 3 ).     

Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 97. Über den Einfluß der Si-Substituenten (Me,Cl) auf Bildung und Reaktion von Yliden

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 97. About the Influence of the Si-Substituents (Me, Cl) upon the Formation and the Reactions of Ylides 1,3-disilapropanes with different grade of chlorination or methylation at the silicon atoms and containing a CCl₂ group cleave the Si? P bond of Me₃SiPMe₂. By subsequent rearrangement ylides with ? PMe₂Cl group are formed. The reactivity of the CCl₂ group depends on the grade of Si-chlorination resp. Si-methylation. Si-methylation decreases the reactivity of the CCl₂ group. The reaction of 1,3-disilapropanes and Me₃SiPMe₂ (molar ratio 1:1) runs in a sequence shown in “Inhaltsübersicht”. Ylid C is able either to react with the initial compound A forming B, or in competition decomposes forming D. Reacting Si-perchlorinated carbosilanes, the decomposition forming D is not to be observed. In Si-methylated ylides like (Me₃Si)₂C?PMe₂? PMe₂ and (Me₃Si)₂C?PMe₂? P(Me)SiMe₃ the ylid carbon atom is able to abstract a proton of the P? CH₃ group resp. P? H groups of the trivalent phosphorus forming (Me₃Si)₂C(H)PMe₂. The rearrangement is proved by deuterated derivatives. The different behaviour is due to the increased basicity of the ylid-C atom in Si-methylated phosphorus ylides. Quite the same behaviour show the phosphorus ylides of 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane.     

Schwingungsspektren und Kraftkonstanten von W(OCH3)6, Mo(OCH3)6 und [Sb(CH3)4][Sb(OCH3)6]

Vibrational Spectra and Force Constants of W(OCH₃)₆, Mo(OCH₃)₆, and [Sb(CH₃)₄][Sb(OCH₃)₆] The infrared and Raman spectra of the monomeric hexamethoxides of Tungsten and Molybdenum and of the ionic compound [Me₄Sb]⁺[Sb(OMe)₆]^? (prepared from [Sb(OMe)₅]₂ and Me₄SbOMe; Me = CH₃) are recorded and interpreted on the basis of C_3i symmetry. The force fields of W(OMe)₆ and [Sb(OMe)₆]^? are calculated using the same basis set of force constants. Both W? O- and Sb? O- stretching force constants are identical (2.56 N/cm), however the other parts of the valence force field are markedly different.     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXXII [1]. Neue Tetraphosphan-Nickelkomplexe mit Tripod-Liganden des Typs XM′ (OCH2PMe2)n(CH2CH2PR2)3 – n (M′ = Si,Ge; n = 0 – 3)

Alternative Ligands. XXXII [1]. Novel Tetraphosphane Nickel Complexes with Tripod-Ligands of the Type XM′(OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PR₂)_{3 – n} (M′ = Si, Ge; n = 0 – 3) Tripod Ligands of the type XM′(OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PMe_{23 – n} (M′ = Si, Ge; n = 0 – 3) ( 1 – 6 , Table 1) have been used together with PPh₃ or PMe₃ for the preparation of novel tetraphosphane complexes of Nickel. The representatives LNiPPh₃ ( 7 – 12 ) are obtained by reaction of Ni(COD)₂ (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with the corresponding ligands and PPh₃ in toluene in moderate yields. The synthesis of the derivatives LNiPMe₃ ( 13 – 18 ) is partly ( 16 – 18 ) accomplished in analogy to the Ph₃P-complexes; compounds 13 – 16 are obtained in higher yields by reaction of Ni(PMe₃)₄ with the respective ligand. As a rule, 13 – 18 cannot be separated from by-products. The trinuclear complex FSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃[Ni(PMe₂CH₂CH₂)₃SiF]₃ ( 19 ) is formed together with 18 in the reaction of Ni(COD)₂ with 6 and PMe₃. The new compounds have been characterized (if possible) by analytical (C, H), but in general by spectroscopic investigations (IR; ¹H-, ¹³C-, ¹⁹F-, ³¹P-NMR; MS). A weak, but significant Ni → Si interaction through the cage is indicated by the following results: (i) Large low-field shifts δδ_F of 35.2 ppm ( 12 ), 38.3 ppm ( 18 ) and 37.7 ppm ( 19 ); (ii) ⁶J(PF) coupling constants [or ³J(PNiSiF) through the cage] of 6.0 Hz ( 12 ) and 7.6 Hz ( 18 ) together with a low-field shift δδ_Si of 12.8 ppm ( 12 ); (iii) NiSi distances of 3.95 Å in 7 and 3.92 Å in 12 , accompanied by a compression of the cage along the Ni ··· Si axis. An additional release from the high charge density on Ni results from π-backbonding to the phosphane ligands.     

Synthesis and characterization of ferrocenylalkoxygermatranes and crystal structures of FcCH2OGe (OCH2CH2)3N and FcCH(CH3)OGe(OCH2CH2)3N1

Germatranes bearing a ferrocenylalkoxyl moiety have been obtained by the reaction of HOGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N with various ferrocenyl alcohols. A convenient new synthesis method of FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N was reported. FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N was prepared in 93% yield when FcCH₂OH reacted with HOGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N in chloroform at room temperature in the presence of molecular sieves (3 Å) as a dehydrating agent. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N and FcCH(CH₃)OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N have been determined by X‐ray diffraction. The antitumor activities of FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N and p‐FcC₆H₄CH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N were determined. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Untersuchungen an Selen-Verbindungen. LXV1 über Verbindungen des Typs(CH3O)3 SeX mit XF,Cl, Br,NO3, AlCl4

Studies on Selenium Compounds. LXV. On Compounds of the Type (CH₃O)₃ SeX with X ? F, Cl, Br, NO₃, AlCl₄ Reaction of Se(OCH₃)₄ with SeX₄(X ? Cl, Br)(mole ratio 3:1) yields (CH₃O)₃SeX. The compounds (CH₃O)₃SeX (X ? F, NO₃) are formed by reaction of (CH₃O)₃SeCl with the silver salts AgF and AgNo₃, respectively. (CH₃O)₃SeAlcl₄ is prepared by reaction of (CH₃O)₃SeCl with AlCl₃. Some properties of the synthezised compounds and the ir spectra are given. From their data deduction concerning the nature of the chemical bonds in the compounds (CH₃O)₃SeX are possible.     

Reaction of tetrafluorosilane with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine, tris(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine and bis(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine and its N-methyl derivative. 1,1-difluoroquasisilatranes

Reaction of tetrafluorosilane with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)-and tris(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine results in formation of 1-fluorosilatrane and fluorosilatrane in 75 and 53% yield, respectively. Reaction of tetrafluorosilane with bis(2-trimethylsiloxyethyl)amine and its N-methyl derivative leads to the hitherto unknown 1,1-difluoroquasisilatranes (N → Si) F₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₂NR (R = H, Me) containing donor-acceptor bond N → Si and pentacoordinate silicon atom. The structure of the synthesized compounds was proved by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁹F, ²⁹Si NMR and IR spectroscopy.     

Neue Rhodium(I)‐Komplexe mit Donor/Akzeptor‐Chelatliganden

Alternative Ligands. XXXVI. Novel Rhodium(I) Complexes with Donor/Acceptor Chelating Ligands In order to generate metal base/Lewis‐acid interactions in rhodium(I) phosphane complexes the binuclear complex [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ was reacted in benzene with dipod ligands of the type R₂M′(OCH₂PMe₂)_x(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)_2–x (R = F, Me; M′ = Si, Ge; x = 0–2) using the Ziegler dilution principle with the aim to produce mononuclear compounds in which with formation of five‐membered chelate rings in principle Rh → M′ contacts are possible. The reactions of ligands 1 – 7 (Table 1) with [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ proceed under CO elimination and, in spite of large turnovers, lead to a variety of products 8 – 14 (Table 1), in case of 11 , 13 and 14 accompanied by degradation of the corresponding ligands. Intact ligands are present in the 16‐membered rings of the binuclear complexes 8 – 10 and 12 , for which, due to the molecular structure, Rh → M′ interactions can be excluded. In the reaction of Me₂Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₂ ( 4 ) with [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ the unusual binuclear system 11 with a central Rh₂O₂ four‐membered ring and two RhO(SiMe₂OCH₂PMe₂) six‐membered rings is formed. Small amounts of the mononuclear compounds Rh(CO)Cl(Me₂PCH₂OH)₂ ( 13 ) and Rh(CO)Cl₃(Me₂PCH₂OH)₂ ( 14 ), respectively, are obtained in crystalline form from the reaction mixtures of [Rh(CO)₂Cl]₂ with Me₂Ge(OCH₂PMe₂)(CH₂CH₂PMe₂) ( 6 ) or Me₂Ge(OCH₂PMe₂)₂ ( 7 ). The new complexes were characterized by analytic (C, H), spectroscopic (NMR, IR, MS) and, except for 12 , by single crystal structural analyses.

Compound 4 crystallizes monoclinically in thc space group C2/c (no. 15) with a = 3158.3,b = I 103.7, c = 2037.4 pm, β = 1 16.62° and 8 molecules pcr unit cell. The disilacyclobutane ring of compound 3 is plane, showing a mean distance of d (Si-C) =19 1.8 pm and the usual deformations of endocyclic angles: α_Si = 94,2°> 85,8° = α_C.The spiro-linked disilacyclobutane rings of compound 4 are slightly folded by a mean angle of (19.0°). Their mean distances were found to be d (Si? C) = 190.4 pm relating to the central carbon atom and 192.0 pm to the outer ones, respectively. The deformations of endocyclic angles: α_Si = 93,9°> 84,4° = α_C are comparable to those of compound 3.
