Bimetallic ruthenium-tin chemistry: synthesis and molecular structure of arene ruthenium complexes containing trichlorostannyl ligands
2010
A series of neutral, anionic and cationic arene ruthenium complexes containing the trichlorostannyl ligand have been synthesised from SnCl2 and the corresponding arene ruthenium dichloride dimers [(η6-arene)Ru(μ2-Cl)Cl]2 (arene = C6H6, PriC6H4Me). While the reaction with triphenylphosphine and stannous chloride only gives the neutral mono(trichlorostannyl) complexes [(η6-C6H6)Ru(PPh3)(SnCl3)Cl] (1) and [(η6-PriC6H4Me)Ru(PPh3)(SnCl3)Cl] (2), the neutral di(trichlorostannyl) complex [(η6-PriC6H4Me)Ru(NCPh)(SnCl3)2] (3) could be obtained for the para-cymene derivative with benzonitrile as additional ligand. By contrast, the analogous reaction with the benzene derivative leads to a salt compose…
High oxidation state aqueous organometallics: synthesis and structure of a dinuclear oxo(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)acetato complex of molybdenum(IV…
2003
International audience; The zinc reduction of Cp*2Mo2O5 in a MeOH–H2O mixture in the presence of acetic acid affords the diamagnetic dinuclear compound [Cp*MoO(O2CCH3)]2. An X-ray structural investigation reveals a novel dioxo- and diacetato-bridged structure, with a relatively strong metal–metal bond [2.5524(3) Å]. The compound exhibits a reversible one-electron oxidation process in the cyclic voltammogram. A comparison with other related structures reveals the effect of the electric charge on the mononuclear or dinuclear structural choice.Zinc reduction of Cp*2Mo2O5 in water–methanol in the presence of acetic acid affords compound Cp*2Mo2O2(O2CCH3)2, whose dinuclar tetrabridged structure …
Preparation and structure of the 17-electron (η5-C5R5)Mo(OH)2(dppe) (R=Me, Et) organometallic compounds containing two gem-terminal hydroxide ligands
2000
International audience; Oxidation of (η5-C5R5)MoH3(dppe) (R=Me, Et) by Cp2Fe+ in wet THF leads to the formation of the corresponding (η5-C5R5)Mo(OH)2(dppe). These compounds show a low-potential reversible oxidation wave. The structure of the C5Et5 complex has been confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods: triclinic; space group ; a=11.030(1); b=12.533(1); c=16.241 (1) Å; α=68.585(7); β=75.197(5); γ=83.991(7)°; V=2020.6(3) Å3; Z=2; Dcalc=1.324 g cm−3, μ(Mo–Kα)=0.441 mm−1; R1=0.0325; wR2=0.0875 for 415 parameters and 6823 independent reflections [Rint=0.0177] with I=2σ(I). The molecule shows a four-legged piano-stool geometry with two terminal OH ligands in a relative trans configuration. The c…
Half-sandwich Mo(III) complexes with asymmetric diazadiene ligands
2006
The asymmetric 1,4-diazadiene ligands R ∗ N CHCH NR ∗ [R ∗ = ( S )-CH(CH 3 )Ph], R 2 ∗ dad , and 2,2′-bis(4-ethyloxazoline), as-ox, have been used to generate half-sandwich Mo III derivatives by addition to Cp 2 Mo 2 Cl 4 . Ligand R 2 ∗ dad affords a mononuclear, paramagnetic 17-electron product, CpMoCl 2 ( R 2 ∗ dad ) , whereas as-ox leads to the isolation of a dinuclear compound where only one molecule of ligand has been added per two Mo atoms, Cp 2 Mo 2 Cl 4 (as-ox). In the presence of free as-ox, this compound coexists with the paramagnetic mononuclear complex in solution. Both products are capable of controlling the radical polymerization of styrene under typical atom transfer radical…
Stable 17-electron Mo(III) complexes containing alkyl ligands
1999
Abstract The alkylation of the half-sandwich complex CpMoCl 2 ( η 4 -diene) (diene=C 4 H 6 , 2,3-Me 2 C 4 H 4 ) affords the first thermally stable 17-electron compounds containing Mo(III)–alkyl bonds.
