Composés métallocèniques chalcogènés. Action des dihydrures de zirconocène et de hafnocène sur le soufre, le sélénium et le tellure
1989
Resume Dimeric zirconocene and hafnocene dihydrides [(η 5 -RC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(H)(μ-H)] 2 (M = Zr, Hf) react with grey selenium or tellurium to afford the known four-membered bimetallacyclic compounds [(η 5 -RC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(μ-E)] 2 (E = Se, Te) as the sole organometallic products. In the case of sulfur the first step of the reaction is shown to involve the insertion of a chalcogen atom into the metal-hydrogen bonds to give the bis-hydrogenosulfide (η 5 -t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(SH) 2 (M = Zr, Hf), which reacts either with the starting dihydride to give [(η 5 -t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(μ-S)] 2 or with the unchanged sulfur to afford the metallacyclohexasulfane (η 5 -t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 MS 5 and hydrogen sulfide. Thes…
The preparation of four- and six-membered chalcogenametallacyclic derivatives of group 4 metallocenes
1989
Abstract Four-membered metallacycles [(RC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(μ-E)] 2 (M = Zr, Hf; 1 , E = Se; 2 , E = S) were obtained by UV irradiation of dialkyl- or diaryl-metallocenes and equimolecular amounts of elemental chalcogen, but this method works only for bulky R groups. A more general route to compounds 1 and 2 involves the reaction of metallocene dichloride with chalcogenide anions. Six-membered metallacyclohexasulfanes (t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 MS 5 ( 3 , M = Zr, Hf) are obtained rather than compounds 2 when an excess of sulfur is used in the photolytic experiments, whereas compounds 1 were still formed when an excess of selenium was used. The observed difference is explained in terms of the solubility of …
Thermal stability and reaction of chalcogen-containing metallocenic compounds with elemental chalcogens
1989
Abstract Dissymmetrical four-membered bimetallocenacycles (t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(μ-S) 2 M′-(RC 5 H 4 ) 2 (M, M′ = Zr, Hf; R = H, t-Bu) have been prepared and found to give redistribution products in solution at 190°C; identification of these products shows that the reaction involves exclusive cleavage of a metal-sulfur bond. Elemental sulfur and selenium react with chalcogen-containing complexes. The reaction is shown to involve the introduction of chalcogenic species in place of the σ-ligands of the complex to give either four-membered bimetallic complexes or catenated pentachalcogen metallocenic compounds. Some examples of insertion of sulfur and tellurium into the zirconium-methyl bond are a…
