Synthesis of bis(diphenylphosphinocyclopentadienyl) yttrium chloride complexes and heterodimetallic derivatives. X-ray structure of bis[(μ-chloro)bis(diphenylphosphinocyclopentadienyl) yttrium(III)]
Abstract Reaction of lithium diphenylphosphinocyclopentadienide with YCl 3 or YCl 3 (THF) 3 and working lead to the formation of three yttrocene phosphines: the lithium metal adduct isolated as (Ph 2 PC 5 H 4 ) 2 Y(μ-Cl) 2 Li(THF) 2 · 0.5 LiCl ( 1 ), the chloride-bridged dimeric species {(Ph 2 PC 5 H 4 ) 2 Y(μ-Cl)} 2 ( 2 ), and the coordinated monometal species [(Ph 2 PC 5 H 4 ) 2 YCl(THF)] ( 3 ). The X-ray structure of 2 is remarkable in that the crystal exhibits two independent chloride-bridged dimers that differ in the arrangement ( syn, anti ) of the diphenylphosphino groups. Chelation of phosphorus atoms to a molydenum carbonyl moiety is also reported.
Different coordination modes of a 1,1′,2,2′-ferrocenyltetraphosphine: Bi- and tri-dentate behaviour with group 6 and 7 transition metals
The behaviour of 1,1′,2,2′-tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-di(tert-butyl)ferrocene (1), acting as a homoannular or heteroannular ligand, has been studied. Due to the cisoid disposition of the phosphino groups of each ring, different coordination modes are observed. With group 6 metal carbonyls, M(CO)6, the tetraphosphine acts exclusively as a tridentate ligand. In contrast, the reaction with MnCp(CO)3 leads to complexes showing 1,1′ and 1,2 bidentate coordination modes. All these complexes have been characterised by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of the molybdenum complex [(1)Mo(CO)3] (2b) and the 1,1′ manganese complex [(1)MnCp(CO)] (3) have been established by X-ra…
Rhodium and palladium complexes from 1,1′ and 1,2 ferrocenylphosphine as bidentate ligands. Versatile coordination
Abstract The complexation of the mixed bidentate ligands 1-diphenylphosphino-1′-diphenylthiophosphinoferrocenyl and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenyl with rhodium(I) and palladium(II) species yield a range of mono- and dirhodium or palladium complexes. Their interest as possible catalysts for alkene hydroformylation and alkoxycarbonylation and Heck coupling reactions has been assessed. Fe[C5Me4P(S)Ph2][C5Me4PPh2]PdCl2 and Fe[C5H2-1,2-(PPh2)2-4-tBu][C5H5]PdCl2 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
Group 4 and Group 8 unbridged metallocene derivatives with a pendant fluorenyl group. X-ray structure of 1,1â²-bis[2-(2-fluorenyl)propyl]ferrocene
Abstract The action of one equivalent of BuLi on 2-cyclopentadienyl-2-fluorenylpropane (C5H5CMe2C13H9) led to the monoanionic salt LiC5H4CMe2C13H9. This anion was reacted with Fe2Cl4(THF)3, TiCl3(THF)3, ZrCl4, HfCl4 or CpZrCl3, DME and, in a mixture with CpLi, with Fe2Cl4(THF)3 affording the corresponding metallocenes and metallocene dichlorides. The X-ray structure of Fe(η5-C5H4CMe2C13H9)2 is described. The first results about the reactivity of the fluorenyl group are reported together with the synthesis of Zr(η5-C5H5)[η5-C5H4CMe2-η5-C13H8Rh(cod)]Cl2, which has been tested using hydroformylation and cyclotrimerisation catalysis.
1,1′,2,2′-Tetrakis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-di-tert-butylferrocene, a new cisoid arrangement of phosphino groups
Abstract The action of two equivalents of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)-4- tert -butylcyclopentadienyllithium on FeCl 2 led to the corresponding 1,1′,2,2′-tetraphosphinoferrocene. The X-ray structure of this bulky ferrocene is described. The spectroscopic results reveal a conformational chirality with a cisoid disposition of the phosphino groups. The first results about the complexation with representative elements of Group IX and X (Rh, Pd, Ir) are reported.
Enlarging the family of ferrocenylphosphine dinuclear rhodium complexes: synthesis and X-ray structure of a novel “A-frame”-type trimetallic Rh/Fe/Rh complex
Abstract The symmetrically substituted ligand 1,1 ′ -bis[di(5-methyl-2-furyl)phosphino]ferrocene ( 1 ) has been obtained from the bromophosphine BrP(Fu Me ) 2 and the dilithioferrocene/TMEDA adduct. The quantitative addition of this ferrocene derivative to the tetracarbonyl dimer [(CO) 4 Rh 2 {μ-(S t Bu) 2 }] leads, through decarbonylation, to the dinuclear rhodium complex [(CO) 2 Rh 2 {μ-(S t Bu) 2 }{μ- P , P -Fc[P(Fu Me ) 2 ] 2 }] ( 2 ) in high yield. A X-ray structure [ orthorhombic , space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 ; a =11.2982(2) A, b =13.3165(3) A, c =27.2687(7) A] and the solution multinuclear NMR characterization are reported, which show that the rare “quasi-closed bridging” A-frame struc…
Synthesis and characterisation of a new class of phosphine-phosphonite ferrocenediyl dinuclear rhodium complexes
We previously reported the easy access to mixed ferrocenediyl ligands bearing phosphine and phosphonite moieties. Using this strategy, a new enantiopure phosphine-menthylphosphonite ferrocenediyl has been synthesised. This mixed ligand leads to original unsymmetrical dinuclear rhodium coordination-complexes. One example of this new class of “quasi-close bridging A frame” dinuclear rhodium complexes, fully characterised by multinuclear 1H, 13C, 31P and 103Rh NMR and optical rotation measurements, is presented. Preliminary tests have shown an activity improvement in the hydroformylation of oct-1-ene using the phosphine-menthylphosphonite ferrocenediyl auxiliary compared to known phosphine-pho…
Structural diversity in coordination chemistry of tridentate and tetradentate polyphosphines of Group 6 to 10 transition metal complexes
Abstract Tridentate and tetradentate polyphosphines offer a huge variety of coordination modes to transition metals which lead, depending on the metal, to very different structural features in the resulting complexes. Steric effects being crucial in metal–phosphine complexes reactivity, a good knowledge of the molecular structures of the species is required both in the solid state and in solution. This article reviews from a structural point of view the monometallic and symmetrical homobimetallic complexes of the transition elements of Group 6 to 10 with tridentate and tetradentate phosphines. Concerning the classical triphosphines and tetraphosphines, emphasis was put on advances reported …
New 1,1′- or 1,2- or 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenes
The syntheses of ferrocenyl phosphines with bulky substituents are reported using the reaction between FeCl2 and the suitably substituted cyclopentadienyl salts, LiC5H3-1,3-(PPh2)2, LiC5H3-1-PPh2-3- t Bu, LiC5H2-1,2-(PPh2)2-4- t Bu. This strategy leads to bi-, tri- and tetraphosphines, which cannot be obtained by the other access paths used to prepare substituted ferrocenes. [C5H3-1,3(PPh2)2](C5H5)Fe, [C5H3-1-PPh2-3- t Bu]2Fe racemic and meso and [C5H2-1,2-(PPh2)2-4- t Bu](C5H5)Fe have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. © 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.

Cyclopentadiene with two coordinating sites: 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino) -2,3,4-trimethylcyclopenta-1,3-diene
Abstract The possibility of obtaining the new bidentate 1,2-diphenylphosphinocyclopentadienyl ligand has been studied. 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-2,3,4-trimethylcyclopenta-1,3-diene can be formed from butanone and chlorodiphenylphosphine in eight steps. The results of chemical and spectroscopic studies reveal that a 1.5-sigmatropic migration of the diphenylphosphino group takes place: the 1,2-diphenylphosphino-substituted species are converted into 1.3 species.
Novel group 4b ansa-metallocene complexes with the shortest bridge: [1,1′-isopropylydene-3,3′-di-t.Bu-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)] Ti and Zr dichlorides
Abstract Reaction of [1,1′-isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienide)] dilithium with TiCl3, followed by treatment with HCl, and ZrCl4 in various solvent mixtures in the temperature range 0–50°C gives corresponding ansa-metallocene dichlorides as mixtures of the anti/syn-isomers, 1:1. The crystal and molecular structures of three of the four isomers were determined, i.e. rac(anti)-[1,1′-isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)]TiCl2, space group B2/b, rac(anti)-[1,1′-isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)]ZrCl2, space group P212121, and meso(syn)-1,1′-[isopropylidene-3,3′-di-tert.butyl-bis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)]ZrCl2, space group P21/n.
