Tantalocene complexes as bidentate métalloligands: (C5Me5)(C5H4X)Ta(H2)(PPh2) (C5Me5) (C5H4X)Ta(CO) (PPh2) (X = PPh2, CH2CH2NMe2)

Abstract The synthesis of new bidentate metalloligands derived from tantalocene (C5Me5)(C5H4X)Ta(H2)(PPh2) (X = PPh2, 2P; X = CH2CH2NMe22N) and (C5Me5)(C5H4X)Ta(CO)(PPh2) 4(P,N) is described. When opposed to chromium unsaturated fragments the phosphino functionalised complexes 2P and 4P act as chelating bidentate ligands affording Ta(V) (C5Me5)(C5H4PPh2)Ta(CH2) (μ-PPh2)Cr(CO)4 or Ta(III) (C5Me5)(C5H4PPh2)Ta(CO)(μ-PPh2)Cr(CO)4 bimetallic complexes. The same reaction carried out starting from 2N gives rise to a μ-phosphido, μ-hydrido dibridged complex Cp*(C5H4CH2CH2NMe2)TaH(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)Cr(CO)4.
