Abstract: | On the Reactivity of Disilylarsenido Iron Complexes towards Carbonyl Chlorides: The First Arsaalkenyl- and Diacylarsenido Complexes. X-Ray Structure Analysis of Z-(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe? As?C(OSiMe3)(t-Bu)] The reaction of equimolar amounts of (η5-C5H5)(CO)2FeAs(SiMe3)2 ( 1a ) with the carbonyl chlorides RC(O)Cl (R = t-Bu, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 and 2,4,6-t-Bu3C6H2) yields the arsaalkenyl complexes Z-(η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe? As?;C(OSiMe3)R ( 2–4 )]. The diacylarsenido complexes (η5-C5H5)(CO)2Fe? AsC(O)R]2 ( 5, 6 ) are generated by treatment of 1a with two equivalents of pivaloyl chloride or mesitoyl chloride, respectively. The As?C-double bond length of 2 (1.821(2) Å) was determined by single crystal x-ray analysis. |
