New complexes of nickel and nickel/cobalt with tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid, THF(COOH)4. Crystal structures of Ni[THF(COOH)2(COOH)2](H2O)3 and Ni0.7Co0.3[THF(COOH)2(COO)2](H2O)3·H2O and their thermal behaviour
Abstract The reaction of NiCl2·6H2O with tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid, THF(COOH)4, partially deprotonated by Na2CO3 (1 : 1 metal/ligand molar ratio), yielded Ni[THF(COOH)2(COO)2](H2O)3 (1). The molecular structure of 1 was determined by X-ray diffraction on the monocrystal. The structure consists of a mononuclear neutral unit with the nickel atom coordinated by a [THF(COOH)2(COO)2]2− ligand, which acts as a tridentate ligand, and three water molecules. Direct interaction of NiCl2·6H2O and CoCl2·6H2O (1 : 1 molar ratio) with THF(COOH)4 previously deprotonated by Na2CO3 (1 : 1 metal/ligand molar ratio) gave, by slow evaporation of the solution obtained, green crystals of the n…
Synthesis and crystal structure of {Rh2(O2CCH3)4·P(o-CH3OH6H4)Ph2}2. A novel dirhodium(II) monoadduct with intermolecular μ-oxo interactions
Abstract We have investigated the reaction of dirhodium tetraacetate with the phosphine P( o -CH 3 OH 6 H 4 )Ph 2 (P) under different experimental conditions. From these reactions we have been able to isolate the dirhodium tetraacetate phosphine mono-adduct. The crystal structure shows that in the solid state this compound forms a centrosymmetric dimer of the dimer, {Rh 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 4 ·P(0-CH 3 OC 6 H 4 )Ph 2 } 2 , in which we oxygen atom from one acetate group in one Rh 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 4 ·P unit is axially coordinating one Rh atom on another Rh 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 4 · P unit (Rh⋯) 2.347(3) A intermolecular versus Rh⋯O 2.455(3) A intermolecular), and vice versa. The RhRh bond distance is 2.414…

Abstract Rh 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 3 [(C 6 H 4 )PPh 2 ]·(HO 2 CCF 3 ) 2 reacts with PPh 3 yielding the doubly metalated compound Rh 2 (O 2 CCH 3 ) 2− [(C 6 H 4 )PPh 2 ] 2 ·(HO 2 CCF 3 ) 2 . The reaction proceeds via a reactive intermediate with an equatorial phosphine, Rh 2 (η 2 -O 2 CCF 3 )(μ-O 2 CCF 3 ) 2 [(C 6 H 4 )PPh 2 ](PPh 3 )·(HO 2 CCF 3 ), which can also be generated in moderate yield under photochemical conditions. The structure of the PPh 3 bis-adduct Rh 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 2 [(C 6 H 4 )PPh 2 ] 2 ·(PPh 3 ) 2 ·2(C 7 H 8 ) has been determined by X-ray diffraction.

Reactions of rhodium trifluoroacetate with triphenylphosphine and pyridine. Molecular structure of Rh2(O2CCF3)4(py)4
Abstract Rh 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 4 reacts with two mol of triphenylphosphine forming the adduct Rh 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 4 (PPh 3 ) 2 . This compound in solution, even at room temperature, undergoes slow stepwise orthometalation of the phosphine ligands forming the doubly metalated compound Rh 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 2 [(C 6 H 4 )P(C 6 H 5 ) 2 ] 2 . This reaction has been monitored by 31 P NMR spectroscopy detecting in solution three reaction intermediates. Rh 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 4 reacts with excess of pyridine to form the compound Rh 2 (O 2 CCF 3 ) 4 (py) 4 that can be structurally classified as a class III adduct. It contains two bridging and two monodentate equatorial carboxylates and two equatorial and two axial…
Selective ortho-metallation reaction of the phosphine P(o-ClC6H4)Ph2. Synthesis and crystal structure of [Rh2(μ-O2CCH3)3(μ-(ClC6H3)PPh2(OH2)2]·CHCl3
Abstract From the reaction of [Rh2(O2CCH3)4(MeOH)2] in hot acetic acid with P(o-ClC6H4)Ph2, two monometallated compounds [Rh2(O2CCH3)3(C6H4)P(o-ClC6H4)Ph(HO2CCH3)2] (1), already described, and [Rh2(O2CCH3)3{(ClC6H3)PPh2}(OH2)2] have been isolated. The new compound has been characterized by an X-ray study. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1. It contains three acetate groups bridging a Rh24+ unit that has a Rh-Rh bond distance of 2.426(1) A; the fourth bridging ligand is derived from one P(o-ClC6H4)Ph2 metallated in the halogenated ring. The two water molecules occupy the axial coordination sites.
Reactions of dirhodium(II) monometallated compounds with phosphines. Factors affecting the reactivity and the structure of the doubly-metallated compounds. Molecular structure of Rh2(O2CCH3)2[(C6H4)P(C6H5)2][(p-ClC6H3)P(p-ClC6H4)2] · (HO2CCH3)2·(C6H6), a compound with two different metallated phosphines
Abstract Monometallated compounds of formula Rh2(O2CCH3)3[(p-XC6H3)P(p-XC6H4)2](HO2CCH3)2 (X=CH3, Cl) have been prepared in good yield. The reactions with p-substituted triarylphosphines P(p-X′C6H4)3 (X′=CH3, H, Cl) have been studied. For X=X′ and [P]/[Rh2]=1 all the resulting doubly metallated compounds Rh2(O2CCH3)2[(p- XC6H3)P(p-XC6H4)2](HO2CCH3)2 (X=CH3, Cl) have head-to-tail (H-T) structure. For [P]/[Rh2]=3 reaction progress is observed at room temperature. When X=X′ a 1:1 mixture of H-T and H-H compounds is formed for X=Cl but only the H-H compound is obtained for X=CH3. For X ≠ X′ mixtures of H-T and H-H compounds are obtained. The entering phosphine, and to a less extent the phosphin…
