Abstract: | Several novel pentamethylcyclopentadienyl complexes of general formula [(C5Me5)IrL3][BF4]2 were prepared including the tris(solvent) precursors [(C5Me5)M(acetone)2(H2O)][BF4]2 (M = Rh, Ir) (1a,b). The X-ray molecular structures of 1a,b were determined at low temperature. Complexes 1a,b are isostructural, and both compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 10.157(3) A, b = 14.038(9) A, c = 16.335(2) A, beta = 99.73(2) degrees, and Z = 4 for 1a and with a = 10.107(9) A, b = 13.994(16) A, c = 15.996(34) A, beta = 99.61(12) degrees, and Z = 4 for 1b. The coordinated water molecule is hydrogen bonded to both BF4(-) anions. Reaction of 1a,b with pyridine (py) afforded the related tris(pyridine) complexes [(C5Me5)M(eta1-(N)-py)3][BF4]2 (M = Rh, Ir) (2a,b). Complex 2b was characterized by X-ray crystallography, monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with a = 8.665(3) A, b = 19.687(7) A, c = 18.408(5) A, beta = 94.17(3) degrees, and Z = 4. Moreover, we prepared the novel neutral compounds (C5Me5)M(eta2-NO3)(eta1-NO3) (M = Rh, Ir) (4a,b) where the anions are bonded to the metal center instead of a coordinating solvent as confirmed by X-ray study on the iridium complex 4b. The latter crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pcab with a = 13.032(4) A, b = 14.370(11) A, c = 14.839(18) A, and Z = 8. |
