Heterometallic cluster [CpMn(CO)2]2S2Ni(Dppe) containing the binuclear manganese disulfide complex as a ligand

A reaction of the disulfide complex [CpMn(CO)₂]₂S₂ with the Ni(0) diphosphine acetylene complex, (Dppe)Ni(C₂Ph₂) (I), yielded the heterometallic complex [CpMn(CO)₂]₂S₂Ni(Dppe) (II). An X-ray diffraction study revealed lateral coordination of the disulfide group to the Ni atom in complex II, which results in lengthening of both the S-S and Mn-S bonds against those in the starting complex. However, the Mn-S and Ni-S bonds are still much shorter than the sums of the covalent radii of the corresponding atoms.

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.     

Oxidative addition of the Mo-Cl bond to the Pt0 complex. Synthesis and structure of Cp′Mo(μ-CO)2(C2Ph2)Pt2(PPh3)2(CO)Cl

A reaction of Cp′Mo(CO)₃Cl(Cp′ = MeC₅H₄) with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) gave the heterometallic cluster Cp′Mo(μ-CO)₂(C₂Ph₂)Pt₂(PPh₃)₂(CO)Cl (I) as the sole product. According to X-ray diffraction data, complex I contains single Pt-Mo bonds (2.7962(5) and 2.7699(5) ?) but no Pt-Pt bond (Pt…Pt 2.9746(3) ?). The coordinated diphenylacetylene molecule forms two Pt-C σ-bonds (2.054(6) and 2.083(5) ?) and a π-bond to the Mo atom (Mo-C 2.265(6) and 2.272(5) ?; C≡C 1.387(8) ?). Original Russian Text ? A.A.

Heterometallic derivatives of dicarbonylcyclopentadienylrhenium disulfide containing chromium pentacarbonyl and bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum

The reaction of Cp′Re(CO)₂THF (Cp′ = C₅H₄Me), THF is tetrahydrofuran) with sulfur affords Cp′Re(CO)₂S₂(I) and [Cp′Re(CO)₂]₂S (II). The synthesized compounds are isolated chromatographically and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The adduct Cp′Re(CO)₂S₂Cr(CO)₅ (III) is synthesized by the reaction of compound I with Cr(CO)₅(THF). The adduct CpRe(CO)₂S₂Cr(CO)₅ (IV) is obtained similarly from known CpRe(CO)₂S₂ and Cr(CO)₅(THF). The reaction of compound I with (PPh₃)₂Pt(C₂Ph₂) results in the removal of Ph₂C₂ and one sulfur atom to form Cp′Re(CO)₂SPt(PPh₃)₂ (V). The structures of compounds I–V are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis (CIF files CCDC nos. 984554 (I), 984555 (II), 984556 (III), 984557 (IV), and 984558 (V)). Compound I contains the three-membered cycle ReS₂ with the ordinary S-S bond (2.044(4) Å) and shortened Re-S bonds (average 2.434(3) Å). The three-membered cycle Re₂S containing the ordinary Re-Re bond (2.932(1) Å) and shortened Re-S bonds (2.371(1) Å) is observed in compound II. In compounds III and IV, the formation of the ordinary S-Cr(CO)₅ bond (2.406(1) Å) with one of the sulfur atoms almost does not change the geometry of the ReS₂ fragment. The thermal decomposition of compound III proceeds with the elimination of six CO ligands in the range 110–160°C and then with the loss of CO and Cp′ in the range 160–430°C and the formation of the inorganic residue ReCrS₂. Compound V contains the triangular framework ReSPt with the ordinary Pt-Re bond (2.7882(3) Å) and substantially shortened bonds Re-S (2.3984(9) Å) and Pt-S (2.2724(8) Å). It is assumed that compounds II and V can be presented as products of the π-coordination of the double bonds in Cp′(CO)₂Re=S with the Cp′Re(CO)₂ or Pt(PPh₃)₂ groups, respectively.     

Heterometallic palladium-copper and palladium-nickel complexes with pivalate bridges

Reactions of (α-Pic)₂Pd(OOCCMe₃)₂ (I) with dinuclear copper pivalate dihydrate and polymeric nickel bispivalate afforded the complexes (α-Pic)₂Pd(μ-OOCCMe₃)₂Cu₂(μ-OOCCMe₃)₄ (II) and Pd(μ- OOCCMe₃)₄Ni(α-Pic) (III), respectively, which were structurally characterized. The lantern dimers in complex II show no Cu···Cu bonds (Cu···Cu, 2.671(3) Å) and are united to form chains through the axial bridging pivalate groups inherited from palladium monomer I. In contrast, complex III features heterometallic palladium- nickel lanterns in which the Ni atom has an axial α-picoline ligand, while the Pd atom has no axial ligand; instead, a short Pd–Ni bond is formed (2.4976(3) Å). For triplet-state complex III and its zinc analog Pd(μ-OOCCMe₃)₄Zn(α-Pic) (IV), quantum chemical calculations and topological analysis of the electron density were performed.
