Synthesis of Two Novel Rhenium（I） Bipyridyl Photosensitive Dyes

Two novel rhenium(I) 2, 2′-bipyridyl complexes, [(4,4′-di-COOEt-bipy) Re(CO)3 (NCCH3)PF6] and [(4,4′-di-COOEt-bipy) Re (CO)3 (NCS)], a model complex [(4,4′-di-COOEt-bipy) Re (CO)3 (pyridine)PF6], were synthesized. Their ground state electronic spectra and emission spectra were measured in acetonitrile. The MLCT absorption maximum of the complex exhibited a considerable red shift as the ligand changed from pyridine to CNCH3, or SCN.     

The oxidative addition of hydrogen sulfide to the electron-rich triple bond: The isolation and characterization of compounds that contain the Re2(μ-H)(μ-SH) cluster unit

The reactions of Re₂X₄(-dppm)₂ (X=Cl or Br; dppm=Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂) with H₂S in THF afford the dirhenium (III) complexes Re₂(-H)(-SH)X₄(-dppm)₂, the first examples of the oxidative addition of an S-H unit across an electron-rich metal-metal triple bond. The bromide complex Re₂(-H)(-SH)Br₄(-dppm)₂ (C₂H₅)₂O crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n witha=16.631(2) Å,b=15.967(3) Å,c=19.904(2) Å, =92.698(7)°,V=5279(2) ų, andZ=4. The structure which was refined toR=0.053 (R _w=0.070) for 4903 data withI>3.0(I), shows the presence of an edge-shared bioctahedral geometry with a very short Re-Re distance of 2.4566(7) Å. While the hydrogen atoms of the -H and -SH ligands were not located in the X-ray structure determination, their presence is confirmed by IR and¹H NMR spectroscopy.

The bond angle PNI (126.9°) is unusually small; the PN bond length of 159.2 pm corresponds with a double bond. Ph₃PNSiMe₃ · I₂: Space group P1 , Z = 2, 3 560 observed unique reflections, R = 0.033. Lattice dimensions at 19°C: a = 941.2(2), b = 1 041.7(2), c = 1 287.4(3) pm, α = 78.34(1)°, β = 72.00(2)°, γ = 86.08(2)°.

Oxorhenium(V) Complexes with Thiosemicarbazones

Neutral oxorhenium(V) complexes with thiosemicarbazones derived from 2‐pyridine formamide, HL¹, are formed when [ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] reacts with equimolar amounts of the ligands. Reduction of the metal and the formation of rhenium(III) complexes of the composition [Re(L¹)₂]⁺ occurs when an excess of thiosemicarbazones is used and the reaction is performed in boiling toluene for a prolonged period of time. The thiosemicarbazones deprotonate and act as tridentate ligands as has been confirmed by an X‐ray structure of [ReOCl₂(L^1b)], where HL^1b is 2‐pyridineformamide‐N(4)‐ethylthiosemicarbazone and the ligand occupies the equatorial coordination sphere of the complex together with one of the chloro ligands.     

Transition Metal Complexes with the Thiosemicarbazide-based ligands. XII. Complexes of nickel(II) with benzoylacetone S-methylisothiosemicarbazone and N(1)-2-butylidene-4-oxo-4-phenyl-N(4)-salicylidene-S-methylisothiosemicarbazide

A template synthesis procedure yielded [Ni(HL¹)NH₃]I, where HL¹ is the monoanion of the terdentate ONN benzoylacetone S-methylisothiosemicarbazone ligand. The reaction of this complex with an excess of NH₄NCS, pyridine, or hydrazine resulted in the complexes [Ni(HL¹)(NH₃)NCS] and [Ni(L¹)A] (A = Py, N₂H₄). The monoanionic form of the ligand is obtained by deprotonation of the enolic form of the benzoylacetone moiety, whereas the dianion is formed by additional deprotonation of the terminal NH₂ group. Finally, the reaction of [Ni(HL¹)NH₃]I with salicyladehyde produced the NiL² complex in which L² stands for the dianion of the ONNO ligand N(1)-2-butylidene-4-oxo-4-phenyl-N(4)-salicylidene-S-methylisothiosemicarbazide. All complexes are diamagnetic and have a square-planar configuration, except for [Ni(HL¹)(NH₃)NCS], for which te data of i.r. spectra suggest a square-pyramidal structure. The electronic absorption spectra of the ethanolic solutions of all complexes are characteristic of typical square-planar coordination of nickel(II).

Reaktionen von Zinnchloriden mit Polysulfiden. Die Kristallstrukturen von (PPh4)2[SnCl2(S6)2], (PPh4)2[Sn4Cl4S5(S3)O] und (PPh4)2[SnCl6] · S8 · 2CH3CN

Reaction of Tin Chlorides with Polysulfides. Crystal Structures of (PPh₄)₂[SnCl₂(S₆)₂], (PPh₄)₂[Sn₄Cl₄S₅(S₃)O], and (PPh₄)₂[SnCl₆] · S₈ · 2CH₃CN . The reaction of PPh₄[SnCl₃] with Na₂S₄ in acetonitrile in the presence of small amounts of water yields (PPh₄)₂[Sn₄Cl₄S₅(S₃)O] and minor amounts of (PPh₄)₂[SnCl₂(S₆)₂], PPh₄Cl · 2S₈ and (PPh₄)₂[SnCl₆]. SnCl₄ is partially reduced by (PPh₄)₂S_x, PPh₄[SnCl₃] and (PPh₄)₂[SnCl₆] · S₈ · 2CH₃CN being produced. According to the X-ray crystal structure determination the [Sn₄Cl₄S₅(S₃)O]^2?-ion consists of an O atom that is coordinated by four Sn atoms which in turn are liked with one another by five single S atoms and one S₃ group. In the [SnCl₂(S₆)₂]^2?-ion the Sn atom is octahedrally coordinated by two Cl atoms in trans arrangement and by two chelating S₆ groups. Octahedral [SnCl₆]^2? ions and S₈ molecules in the crown conformation are present in (PPh₄)₄[SnCl₆] · S₈ · 2CH₃CN.     

Synthese und Kristallstruktur von [ReNCl(NPPh2C6H4)]2 · [Ph3PNH2]Cl · CH3CN,einem rheniumorganischen Nitrido-Phosphaniminato-Komplex

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [ReNCl(NPPh₂C₆H₄)]₂ · [Ph₃PNH₂]Cl · CH₃CN, a Rhenium Organic Nitrido Phosphoraneiminato Complex The title compound is synthesized by the reaction of ReNCl₄ with Me₃SiNPPh₃ in boiling acetonitrile, forming colourless crystals, which are characterized by an X-ray structure determination. Space group P1 , Z = 2, 4 037 observed unique reflections, R = 0.043. Lattice dimensions at 19°C: a = 1 005.5; b = 1 695.2; c = 1 744.7 pm, α = 105.86°; β = 101.49°; γ = 104.45°.

In the nitrido phosphoraneiminato complex the rhenium atoms are μ₂-bridged via the N-Atoms of the phosphoraneiminato ligands. Because of this bridging and a Re? Re bond, one terminal nitrido ligand, one terminal chloro ligand, and a Re? C bond of an -C-atom of one phenylene group of Re-atoms attain co-ordination number six.     

Rhenium‐Dicarbonyl‐Nitrosyl‐Komplexe mit Imidazol

Rhenium Dicarbonyl‐Nitrosyl Complexes with Imidazole Different rhenium‐dicarbonyl‐nitrosyl complexes with imidazole (Im) as monodentate ligand have been synthesized and characterized, starting from [NEt₄][ReCl₃(CO)₂(NO)] and [ReCl(μ?Cl)(CO)₂(NO)]₂. Whereas the complexes [ReCl₂(Im)(CO)₂(NO)] and [ReCl(Im)₂(CO)₂(NO)]⁺ were achieved in high yields, the complex [Re(Im)₃(CO)₂(NO)]²⁺ with three imidazole ligands could only be isolated after complete removal of all halide ions (with AgBF₄) in low yield. The synthesis of a corresponding ^99mTc‐dicarbonyl‐nitrosyl complex with imidazole opens a new perspective for such compounds as potential radiopharmaceuticals and alternatives to the already established ^99mTc‐tricarbonyl complexes.
