Rhodium and palladium complexes from 1,1′ and 1,2 ferrocenylphosphine as bidentate ligands. Versatile coordination
2000
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
1999
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.
