Mercurated and Palladated Iminophosphoranes. Synthesis and Reactivity

2003

Reaction of the iminophosphorane Ph3PNC6H4Me-4 (1a) with Hg(OAc)2 and LiCl gives the mercurated iminophosphorane [Hg{C6H3(NPPh3)-2-Me-5}Cl] (2). The latter reacts with NaBr to give [Hg{C6H3(NPPh3)-2-Me-5}Br] (3). 2 reacts with MeC6H4NCO-4 or CX2 (X = O, S) to give [Hg{C6H3(NCNC6H4Me-4‘)-2-Me-5}Cl] (4) or [Hg{C6H3{NCNC6H3(HgCl)-1‘-Me-5‘}-2-Me-5}Cl] (5), respectively. Iminophosphoranes Ph3PNC6H4R-4 (1b) react with Pd(OAc)2 to give the complexes [Pd{κ2-C,N-C6H4(PPh2NC6H4R-4‘)-2}(μ-OAc)]2 (R = Me (6a), MeO (6b)), in which the palladation takes place at one of the phenyl substituents of the PPh3 group. Complex 6b reacts with NaBr or tBuNC to give [Pd{κ2-C,N-C6H4(PPh2NC6H4OMe-4‘)-2}(μ-Br)]2 (7) o…

Photochemical Synthesis and Reactivity of New Chloro-Bridged Complexes with Tungstenocene (η5-C5H5)(η5-C5H4PPh2)WClX (X = H, Cl) and Tetracarbonylmet…

1999

Chloro-bridged bimetallic complexes (η5-C5H5)[η5-C5H4PPh2M′(CO)4]W(μ-Cl)X [X = Cl (3), × = H (4); M′ = Cr, W] were prepared by photochemical irradiation of (η5-C5H5)[η5-C5H4PPh2M′(CO)5]WClX [X = Cl (1), × = H (2); M′ = Cr, W]. The reactivity of the chloro-bridged complexes towards Lewis bases was studied; by exposure to CO or phosphanes, a facile cleavage of the chloro bridge accompanied by regio- and stereospecific coordination at M′ occurs. The X-ray structure of complex 3 (M′ = W) is reported.

Preparation, Properties, and Reactivity of (Aminoferrocenyl)(ferrocenyl)carbene(pentacarbonyl)chromium(0) as Bulky Isolobal Trimetallo-amide

2015

Nucleophilic substitution of the ethoxy substituent in the Fischer carbene complex (ethoxy)(ferrocenyl)carbene(pentacarbonyl)chromium(0) (1) by ferrocenyl amide [Fc-NH]– [2-H]– gives the hetero trimetallic complex (aminoferrocenyl)(ferrocenyl)carbene (pentacarbonyl)chromium(0) (3). As the Cr(CO)5 fragment is isolobal to oxygen or sulfur 3 can be viewed as an isolobal metallo analogue to diferrocenylamide (Fc)(FcNH)C=O (4) and diferrocenylthioamide (Fc)(FcNH)C=S (5). The impact of the formal replacement of O/S by Cr(CO)5 in 3 is studied with respect to steric and electronic consequences as well as reactivity by spectroscopic, diffraction, electrochemical and theoretical methods.

Computational strategies to model the interaction and the reactivity of biologically-relevant transition metal complexes

2022

Abstract Transition metal atoms possess the unique capacity to induce significant changes in the electronic structure of their ligands, often culminating in substantial modification of their chemical behavior, and this ability explains well their evolutionary incorporation into the living matter. Exactly this complexity of metal atom behaviours on the electronic level is the reason of various quantum chemistry strategies have been developed for their description. On the other hand, the application of quantum chemistry methodologies to gain a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between metal and biological matter, can only be approached through adequate modelling of the chemical p…

N-Heterocyclic Phosphenium, Arsenium, and Stibenium Ions as Ligands in Transition Metal Complexes: A Comparative Experimental and Computational Study

2005

Reaction of 2-chloro-1,3,2-diazaarsolenes and -diazaphospholenes with Tl[Co(CO)4] gives instable complexes of type [Co(ER2)(CO)4] which decarbonylated to yield [Co(ER2)(CO)3]. Spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the tetracarbonyl complexes can be formulated as ion pair for E = P and as covalent metalla-arsine for E = As, and the tricarbonyl complexes as carbene-like species with a formal E=Co double bond. A similar reactivity towards Tl[Co(CO)4] was also inferred for 1,3,2-diazastibolenes although the products were not isolable and their constitution remained uncertain. Evaluation of structural and computational data suggests that the weak and polarized Co–As bond in […

The arylmercurial [Hg{C6H3(CHO)2-2,5}Cl] (1) reacts with CH(OMe)3 or HS(CH2)2SH to give [Hg{C6H3{CH(OMe)2}2-2,5}Cl] (2) or [Hg(Ara)Cl] [Ara = C6H3{CH(SCH2CH2S)}2-2,5 (3a)], respectively. The mercur...

Fast orthometalation reactions at a binuclear dirhodium(II) complex. Synthesis, crystal structure and reactivity of Rh2(O2CCH3)3[(C6H4)PPh2]·(HO2CCH3…

1989

Abstract From the reaction of Rh2(O2CCH3)4(MeOH)2, in hot acetic acid with PPh3 the monometalated intermediate Rh2(O2CCH3)3[(C6H4)PPh2](HO2CCH3)2 has been isolated and characterized by an X-ray study. This compound rapidly reacts with an excess of PPh3 in dichloromethane at room temperature to give Rh2(O2CCH3)2-[(C6H4)PPh2]2(PPh3)2 with a head-to-tail structure. The same procedure at higher temperatures gives a mixture of this compound and another doubly metalated compound with a head-to-head structure.
