Tethered silyl complexes from nucleophilic substitution reactions at the Si-Cl bond of the chloro(diphenyl)silyl ligand in Ru(SiClPh2)(κ-S2CNMe2)(CO)(PPh3)2

Crystal structure determination of RuH(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1) confirms that the triphenylphosphine ligands are arranged mutually trans. 1 reacts readily with HSiClPh₂ to eliminate H₂ and produce the six-coordinate silyl complex, Ru(SiClPh₂)(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (2). Crystal structure determination of 2 reveals the same geometrical arrangement of ligands as in 1 with the silyl ligand replacing the hydride ligand. The chloride bound to silicon in 2 is replaced through reactions with 2-hydroxypyridine, 2-aminopyridine, and thallium acetate, producing, respectively, the mono-PPh₃ complexes, Ru(κ²(Si,N)-SiPh₂OC₅H₄N)(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (3), Ru(κ²(Si,N)-SiPh₂NHC₅H₄N)(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (4), and Ru(κ²(Si,O)-SiPh₂OCMeO)(κ²-S₂CNMe₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (5). Crystal structure determinations of 3, 4, and 5 confirm that in each case there is formation of a five-membered chelate ring tethering the silyl ligand to ruthenium. In the formation of 3, 4, and 5 the Si-ligand and the two S atoms of the dimethyldithiocarbamate ligand remain meridional but the remaining triphenylphosphine ligand and the carbonyl ligand are interchanged in position leaving the donor atom of the tether trans to the CO ligand. An alternative way of considering the tethered silyl ligands in 3, 4, and 5 is as tethered, base-stabilised, silylene ligands and the structural data give some support for a contribution from this bonding model.     

Stable radical adducts of diisopropylphosphoryl radicals with fullerene complexes (η2-C60)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut) and (η2-C70)Os(CO)(PPh3)2(CNBut)

It was determined by ESR spectroscopy that the UV irradiation of toluene solutions containing Hg[P(O)(OPrⁱ)₂ and the complex (²-C₆₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) produces six stable regioisomeric adducts of phosphoryl radicals with complexes, which are not demetallated under UV irradiation and do not dimerize in the absence of UV irradiation. This is caused by the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the carbon atoms of fullerene localized near the metal-containing moiety. The addition of the phosphoryl radicals to (²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) gives rise to the formation of nine stable regioisomeric radical adducts. A comparison of the composition of regioisomers of the radical adducts of C₇₀ with the phosphoryl radicals, which were formed directly from C₇₀ and from the radical adducts of ²-C₇₀)Os(CO)(PPh₃)₂(CNBu^t) by the demetallation of the latter, revealed an orienting effect of the osmium-containing moiety on the addition of the phosphoryl radicals to the fullerene complex.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thiolate-bridged heterometallic complexes of manganese and platinum: Synthesis and molecular structures of (CO)4Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)2, (CO)3(PPh3)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(CO), and (CO)3Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh3)(Dppm)

A reaction of the dimer [Mn(CO)₄(SPh)]₂ with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) gave the heterometallic complex (CO)₄Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)₂ (I) and its isomer (CO)₃(PPh₃)Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(CO) (II). A reaction of complex I with a diphosphine ligand (Dppm) yielded the heterometallic complex (CO)₃Mn(μ-SPh)Pt(PPh₃)(Dppm) (III). Complexes I–III were characterized by X-ray diffraction. In complex I, the single Mn-Pt bond (2.6946(3) ?) is supplemented with a thiolate bridge with the shortened Pt-S and Mn-S bonds (2.3129(5) and 2.2900(6) ?, respectively). Unlike complex I, in complex II, one phosphine group at the Pt atom is exchanged for one CO group at the Mn atom. The Mn-Pt bond (2.633(1) ?) and the thiolate bridge (Pt-S, 2.332(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.291(2) ?) are retained. In complex III, the Mn-Pt bond (2.623(1) ?) is supplemented with thiolate (Pt-S, 2.341(2) ?; Mn-S, 2.292(2) 0?) and Dppm bridges (Pt-P, 2.240(1)?; Mn-P, 2.245(2) ?). Apparently, the Pt atom in complexes I–III is attached to the formally double bond , as in Pt complexes with olefins.     

Some complexes containing Pt-C5-Co3 fragments: Molecular structure of trans-Pt{CCCC-μ3-C[Co3(μ-dppm)(CO)6(PPh3)]}2(PPh3)2 determined using synchrotron radiation

Reactions of platinum(II) chloro-phosphine complexes with Co₃(μ₃-CCCCCSiMe₃)(μ-dppm)(CO)₇ in the presence of NaOMe have given the compounds Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇]}₂(dppe) (1), trans-Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇]}₂(PEt₃)₂ (2) and trans-Pt{CCCC-μ₃-C[Co₃(μ-dppm) (CO)₆(PPh₃)]}₂(PPh₃)₂ (3), each of which contains two Co₃ clusters linked by C₅ chains to the Pt centre. Electrochemical studies (CVs) show the presence of both oxidation and reduction processes, the latter probably occurring on the CCo₃ cores. Ready reductive elimination of {Co₃(μ-dppm)(CO)₇}₂(μ₃:μ₃-C₁₀) occurs from 1 upon heating. The X-ray study of 3 was carried out using synchrotron radiation (Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, IL) to confirm its structure.     

Metallacyclic complexes with ortho-stannylated triphenylphosphine ligands, LnOs(κ(Sn,P)-SnMe2C6H4PPh2), derived from thermal reactions of the five-coordinate complex, Os(SnMe3)Cl(CO)(PPh3)2

Heating the five-coordinate trimethylstannyl complex, Os(SnMe₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, in solution with triphenylphosphine induces an ortho-stannylation of one phenyl group of a triphenylphosphine ligand and an ortho-metallation of another triphenylphosphine ligand, to produce the metallacyclic complexes, Os(κ²(Sn,P)-SnMeClC₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (1) and Os(κ²(Sn,P)-SnMe₂C₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (2), suggesting the possible intermediacy of a complex with a coordinated stannylene ligand. Spectroscopic data indicate that only one diastereomer of 1 is formed and crystal structure determination of 1 reveals that this is the diastereomer with chloride directed towards the CO ligand. Complex 2 is converted to 1 through a redistribution reaction with SnMe₂Cl₂. Heating the six-coordinate trimethylstannyl complex, Os(SnMe₃)Cl(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂, in solution produces the osmium(II) methyl complex, Os(Me)(SnMe₂Cl)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (3), through an exchange of methyl and chloride groups on the tin and osmium. In this rearrangement, the relative locations of the two CO ligands and the two PPh₃ ligands remains unchanged. However, when the six-coordinate trimethylstannyl complex, Os(SnMe₃)Cl(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ is heated under CO, the same exchange reaction is observed but the mono-triphenylphosphine, tricarbonyl complex, Os(Me)(SnMe₂Cl)(CO)₃(PPh₃) (4), is produced and here the SnMe₂Cl ligand is located trans to the PPh₃ ligand. Crystal structure determinations for 1, 2, 3, and 4 have been obtained.     

Metallacyclic complexes with ortho-silylated triphenylphosphine ligands, LnOs(κ(Si,P)-SiMe2C6H4PPh2), derived from thermal reactions of the coordinatively unsaturated trimethylsilyl, methyl complex, Os(SiMe3)(Me)(CO)(PPh3)2

Reaction between Os(SiCl₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂ and five equivalents of MeLi produces a colourless intermediate, tentatively formulated as the lithium salt of the six-coordinate, dimethyl, trimethylsilyl-containing complex anion, Li[Os(SiMe₃)(Me)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂]. Reaction of this material with ethanol releases methane and gives the red, coordinatively unsaturated methyl, trimethylsilyl-containing complex, Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1). An alternative synthesis of 1 is to add one equivalent of MeLi to Os(SiMe₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, which in turn is obtained by adding three equivalents of MeLi to Os(SiCl₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂. Treatment of 1 with p-tolyl lithium, again gives a colourless intermediate which may be Li[Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(p-tolyl)(CO)(PPh₃)₂], and reaction with ethanol gives the red complex, Os(SiMe₃)(p-tolyl)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (3). Complexes 1 and 3 are readily carbonylated to Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (2) and Os(SiMe₃)(p-tolyl)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (4), respectively. Heating Os(SiMe₃)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂ in molten triphenylphosphine results only in loss of the trimethylsilyl ligand and formation of the previously known complex containing an ortho-metallated triphenylphosphine ligand, Os(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂. In contrast, heating the five-coordinate osmium-methyl complex, Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1), in the presence of triphenylphosphine results mainly, not in tetramethylsilane elimination, but in ortho-silylation as well as ortho-metallation of different triphenylphosphine ligands giving, Os(κ²(Si,P)-SiMe₂C₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)(PPh₃) (5). A byproduct of this reaction is the non-silicon containing di-ortho-metallated complex, Os(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)₂(CO)(PPh₃) (6). A similar reaction occurs when Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (1) is heated in the presence of tri(N-pyrrolyl)phosphine producing Os(κ²(Si,P)-SiMe₂C₆H₄PPh₂)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)[P(NC₄H₄)₃] (7) but a better synthesis of 7 is to treat 5 directly with tri(N-pyrrolyl)phosphine. Heating the six-coordinate complex, Os(SiMe₃)(Me)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (2), gives two complexes both containing ortho-metallated triphenylphosphine, one with loss of the trimethylsilyl ligand, giving the known complex, Os(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)H(CO)₂(PPh₃), and the other with retention of the trimethylsilyl ligand, giving Os(SiMe₃)(κ²(C,P)-C₆H₄PPh₂)(CO)₂(PPh₃) (8). Crystal structure determinations for 5, 6, 7 and 8 have been obtained.     

[Cu(HIm)2(PPh3)2](BF4)的合成与晶体结构

A Cu(Ⅰ) complex with mix ligands [Cu(HIm)₂(PPh₃)₂](BF₄) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IRspectroscopy and X-ray diffraction crystallography. The crystal belongs to monoclinic system and P2₁/c space group, with cell parameters, a=1.2836(3)nm, b=1.5089(3)nm, c=2.0661(4)nm, α=90°, β=101.464(4)°,γ=90°, V=3.9219(13)nm³, Z=4 and D_c=1.374mg·m^-3. The Cu(Ⅰ) is coordinated by two Patoms from triphenylphosphine and two Natoms from imidazole to form the distorted tetrahedral geometry.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of [W3S4(Acac)3(PPh3)3]PF6 · 0.5CHCl3 and [W3S4(Hfac)3(PPh3)2Br] · 2CHCl3

New cluster complexes [W₃S₄(Acac)₃(PPh₃)₃]PF₆ · 0.5CHCl₃ (Acac = CH₃C(O)CHC(O)CH₃) (I) and [W₃S₄(Hfac)₃(PPh₃)₂Br] · 2CHCl₃ (Hfac = CF₃C(O)CHC(O)CF₃) (II) were synthesized. Their molecular and crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction. The cis-cis type of coordination of acetylacetonate and hexafluoroacetylacetonate ligands in I and II, respectively, was established, and the PPh₃ ligands were found in the trans-positions with respect to the “capping” sulfide ligand (μ³-S).     

Two gold-ruthenium clusters derived from Ru3(μ-H)3(μ3-CBr)(CO)9

The reaction between AuMe(PPh₃) and Ru₃(μ-H)₃(μ₃-CBr)(CO)₉ (1) affords the novel heptanuclear cluster Au₄Ru₃(μ₃-CMe)(Br)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₃ (2), containing an Au/Ru₃/Au trigonal pyramidal cluster face-capped by two Au(PPh₃) groups and a CMe ligand, together with Au₂Ru₃(μ-H)(μ₃-CMe)(CO)₉(PPh₃)₂ (3), formed by isolobal replacement of two of the three μ-H atoms in 1 by Au(PPh₃) groups. The latter co-crystallises with the analogous μ₃-CH complex, as also shown spectroscopically.     

Pyridine-2-thione (pySH) derivatives of silver(I): Synthesis and crystal structures of dinuclear [Ag2Cl2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] and [Ag2Br2(μ-S-pySH)2(PPh3)2] complexes

Reaction of silver(I) halides with PPh₃ in acetonitrile and then with pyridine-2-thione (pySH) chloroform (1:1:1 molar ratio) has yielded sulfur bridged dimers of general formula, [Ag₂X₂(μ-S-pySH)₂(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, 1, Br, 2). Both these complexes have been characterized using analytical data, NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-crystallography. The central Ag₂S₂ cores form parallelograms with unequal Ag–S bond distances (2.5832(8), 2.7208(11) Å) in 1 and (2.6306(4), 2.6950(7) Å) in 2, respectively. The Ag?Ag contacts of compounds 1 and 2 are 3.8425(8) and 3.8211(4) Å, respectively. The angles around Ag (in the range 87.19(2)–121.71(2)° in 1 and 87.81(2)–121.53(2)° in 2) reveal highly distorted tetrahedral geometry. There are inter dimer π–π stacking interactions between pyridyl rings (inter ring distances of 3.498 and 3.510 Å in complexes 1 and 2, respectively). The solution state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy has shown the existence of both monomers and dimers. The studies reveal relatively weaker intramolecular –NH?Cl hydrogen bonding in case of AgCl vis-à-vis that in CuCl which favored both a monomer and a dimer with AgCl, and only a monomer with CuCl.     

Synthesis and structural characterisation of five copper(I) and silver(I) complexes with 2-aminopyridine (2-APy), [Cu(μ-Cl)(2-Apy)(PPh3)]2, [Ag(μ-X)(2-Apy)(PPh3)]2 (X = Cl,Br), [Ag(μ-ONO2)(2-Apy)(EPh3)]2 (E = P,As)

Five new copper(I)/silver(I) complexes containing 2-aminopyridine, [Cu(μ-Cl)(2-Apy)(PPh₃)]₂(1), [Ag(μ-Cl)(2-Apy)(PPh₃)]₂(2), [Ag(μ-Br)(2-Apy)PPh₃)]₂(3), [Ag(μ-ONO₂)(2-Apy)(PPh₃)]₂(4), [Ag(μ-ONO₂)(2-Apy)(AsPh₃)]₂(5) have been synthesised for the first time. Complexes 1–5 are obtained by the reactions of MX (MX = CuCl for 1; M = Ag for 2–5; X = Cl, Br for 2–3; X = NO₃ for 4–5) with the monodentate ligands EPh₃ (E = P for 1–4; E = As for 5) and 2-Apy in the molar ratio of 1:1:2 in the mixed solvent of CH₂Cl₂ and MeOH. Complexes 1–5 are characterised by IR and X-ray diffraction. In 1–5, chloride, bromide and nitrate ions bridge two metal atoms to form dinuclear complexes containing the parallelogram cores M₂X₂ (M = Cu, Ag).     

Formation of the silylene-bridged complex Fe2(CO)6(μ2-SiCl2)3 from cis-Fe(CO)4(SiCl3)2: an experimental and computational study

Abstract  

Thermolysis of cis-Fe(CO)₄(SiCl₃)₂ results in the formation of the novel compound Fe₂(CO)₆(μ₂-SiCl₂)₃, which was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to elucidate possible reaction steps leading to the formation of Fe₂(CO)₆(SiCl₂)₃, including CO dissociation and chlorine abstraction by a SiCl₃ radical generated from homolytic Fe–Si bond cleavage involving a singlet–triplet intersystem crossing.     

Syntheses and molecular structures of Ru3(μ-H)(μ3-CPh2CCCCPh)(CO)9 and Ru3{μ3-CPhCHCC(CPh2)CHCPh}(μ-CO)(CO)8

The reaction between Ru₃(μ-H){μ₃-C₂CPh₂(OH)}(CO)₉ and HCCPh, carried out in the presence of HBF₄ · Me₂O, afforded the cluster complexes Ru₃(μ-H)(μ₃-CPh₂CCCCPh)(CO)₉ (5) and Ru₃{μ₃-CPhCHCC(CPh₂)CHCPh}(μ-CO)(CO)₈ (6), both of which were characterised by single-crystal X-ray studies.     

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of the dinuclear copper(I) complex [Cu2((Me-Pk)2En)(PPh3)4](ClO4)2 · 2CHCl3

The new dinuclear copper(I) complex, [Cu₂((Me-Pk)₂En)(PPh₃)₄](ClO₄)₂ · 2CHCl₃ (I), where (Me-Pk)₂En = N,N′-bis(1-pyridin-2-yl-ethylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine), has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. In this complex, two Cu(PPh₃)₂ units are connected by one (Me-Pk)₂En bridging ligand. The coordination geometry around each copper(I) atom is a distorted tetrahedron formed by two N atoms from (Me-Pk)₂En and two P atoms from the PPh₃ ligands. The distance between two copper atoms is 7.06(1) ?.     

Dynamic behavior of [(η-C5H4CH3)Cr(CO)2(μ-SBu)Pt(PPh3)2] in solution

The structure and dynamic behavior of complex [(η⁵-C₅H₄CH₃)Cr(CO)₂(μ-SBu)Pt(PPh₃)₂] in solution was studied by multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) NMR spectroscopy including a phase-sensitive NOESY experiment. Increasing temperature causes rupture of the Cr-Pt bond in the three-membered ring of the complex and rotation of the S-Pt(PPh₃)₂ unit around the Cr-S bond line, followed by formation of a new Cr-Pt bond to close the ring. All activation parameters for this dynamic process have been determined.     

Spanning [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] metalloligands with 1,4-dimercurated durene

Reaction of the metalloligand [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄] with 0.5 mol equivalents of durene-1,4-bis(mercuric acetate) [AcOHgC₆Me₄HgOAc] in methanol gives the polynuclear complex [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺, isolated as its and salts. Positive-ion ESI mass spectra indicate that [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)]²⁺ undergoes fragmentation by successive loss of PPh₃ ligands, while the ESI mass spectrum of the salt showed additional ions [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄(HgC₆Me₄HgPh)]⁺ and [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]⁺ as a result of phenyl transfer from to Hg. A single-crystal X-ray structure determination on [{Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄}₂(μ-1,4-C₆Me₄Hg₂)](BPh₄)₂ shows that the cation crystallises on a centre of symmetry, with structural features that are comparable to those of the previously characterised complex [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄HgPh]BPh₄.     

Novel chromium trinuclear trifluoroacetate complexes Cr3(μ3-O)(CF3COO)6(CH3COOH)2(CF3COO) and Cr3(μ3-O)(CF3COO)6(CH3COOH)2(THF): Synthesis and crystal structure

Complex I forms orthorhombic crystals with space group Pna2₁, a = 9.778(1) , b = 16.042(2) , c = 22.851(4) , Z = 4, R ₁ = 0.0332; complex II crystallizes in monoclinic system: space group P2₁/c, a = 9.866(1) , b = 17.895(2) , c = 21.167(4) , = 100.75(2)°, Z = 4, R = 0.0422. The average Cr-(₃-O) distances in compounds I and II are almost equal (1.943(3) and 1.927(3) ). An average length of the Cr-O bond in octahedral surrounding of metal atoms is different in complexes I and II (1.985(4) and 2.003(3) , respectively), which is specified by different oxidation states of the metal atom. The CrCr distances lie in an interval of 3.366(1)–3.337(1) .__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 4, 2005, pp. 266–272.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Glazunova, Boltalin, Troyanov.

Synthesis and molecular structure of [((CO)3RuBr2)2(μ-SePh)2Ru(CO)4] cluster with a Ru3Se2 chain core

Treatment of ruthenium carbonyl, [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] with phenylseleno tribromide PhSeBr₃ afforded a new triruthenium cluster, [(CO)₁₀Br₄Ru₃(μ-SePh)₂] (1). Its molecular structure was determined by single crystal XRD method (P2₁/c; a = 10.514(3) Å; b = 10.814(3) Å; c = 19.063(5) Å; β = 105.064(4)°; V = 2093.1(10) Å³) and shown to have two lateral Ru(CO)₃Br₂ units attached via two PhSe bridges to a Ru(CO)₄ center forming a chain-like Ru-Se-Ru-Se-Ru cluster core. This is in contrast with a recently reported reaction of PhTeBr₃ with [Ru₃(CO)₁₂] which formed a monomeric complex of ruthenium-dicarbonyl-dibromo fragment coordinating two PhTeBr ligands, [(CO)₂RuBr₂(PhTeBr)₂].
