Synthesis, characterization and kinetics of the metallation of the intermediate compound to produce compound · (H2O) from Rh(II) tetraacetate
Abstract Photochemical irradiation of mixtures of [Rh2(μ-O2CCH3)4]·(HOCH3)2 and P(2-(CH3O)C6H4)Ph2 (POMe) in CH2Cl2 solution (1:1 molar ratio) yields quantitatively compound [ Rh 2 (μ- O 2 CCH 3 ) 3 ( O 2 CCH 3 )(η 2 - P (2-( CH 3 O ) C 6 H 4 ) Ph 2 ]·( H 2 O ) (1) containing a POMe acting as a chelating equatorial ( P ) axial ( O ) donor ligand. This compound undergoes intramolecular CH activation reaction at one of the phenyl rings in CHCl3 or CH3COOH/toluene solution at room temperature to form the monometallated compound [ Rh 2 (μ- O 2 CCH 3 ) 3 (μ-( C C 3 H 4 ) P (2-( CH 3 O C 6 H 4 ) Ph )]· ( H 2 O ) ( 2 ). The kinetics of the 1 → bd2 reaction have been studied in acid media (CH3CO…
Orthometalation reactions in trifluoroacetate dirhodium(II) compounds. Molecular structure of Rh2(O2CCF3)2[(C6H4)PPh2]2·(PPh3)2·2(C7H8)
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.
