Generation and Trapping of a 1,1‘-Diphosphazirconocene
摘要:
The reduction of [(eta(5)-C4Me4P)(2)ZrCl2] (1) by magnesium in THF affords a transient octamethyl-1,1'-diphosphazirconocene which can be trapped by CO, bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene, and 2-butyne to give the corresponding dicarbonyl 2, zirconacyclopropene 3, and zirconacyclopentadiene 4; all of these products have been characterized by X-ray analyses. An assessment of the,pi-basicity of the eta(5)-C4Me4P ligand has been made by several methods: (a) a comparison of the IR carbonyl stretching frequencies of 2 and of other dicarbonylzirconocene complexes, (b) a correlation of the C-13 NMR and IR data in 3 and in similar zirconacyclopropenes, and (c) an electrochemical study on 1. All these experiments confirm that the eta(5)-C4Me4P ligand is a poorer pi-base than the Cp ligand.
Synthesis of Phospholyl-Bridged Heterobimetallic Ruthenium Hydrides in Combination with Zirconium and Ytterbium and the Crystal Structure of (THF)<sub>2</sub>Yb[μ(η<sup>5</sup>,η<sup>1</sup>)-C<sub>4</sub>Me<sub>4</sub>P]<sub>2</sub>Ru(H)<sub>2</sub>(Ph<sub>3</sub>P)<sub>2</sub>
Heterobimetallic zirconium-ruthenium and ytterbium-ruthenium dihydrides, having bridging phospholyl ligands, have been obtained for the first time. Reaction of bin(eta(5)-tetramethylphospholyl)dichlorozirconium [(TMP)(2)ZrCl2] with RuH4(PPh(3))(3) gave the zirconium-ruthenium heterobimetallic Cl2Zr[mu(eta(5),eta(1))-TMP]Ru-2(H)(2)(PPh(3))(2). This compound was transformed into the hydridochloride Cl2Zr[mu(eta(5),eta(1))-TMP]Ru-2(H)(Cl)(PPh(3))(2) by the action of CCl4. Similarly, reaction of [(TMP)(2)Yb] with RuH4(PPh(3))(3) afforded (THF)(2)Yb[mu(eta(5),eta(1))-TMP]Ru-2(H)(2)(PPh(3))(2). The structure of this compound, which has been determined by X-ray crystallography, confirms the trans configuration of the dihydride deduced previously from NMR data. Attempts to isolate products from the reaction of [(TMP)(2)UCl2] or [(TMP)(2)U(BH4)(2)] with RuH4(PPh(3))(3) were unsuccessful, but NMR data show the formation of both heterobimetallic trans- and cis-ruthenium dihydride-uranium compounds X(2)U[mu(eta(5),eta(1))-TMP]Ru-2(H)(2)(PPh(3))(2) (X = BH4, Cl) in solution.
Reactivity of a diphosphazirconocene dichloride, (η5-C4Me4P)2ZrCl2. Crystal and molecular structure of a metal-bridged bis(π-heterocyclopentadienyl)zirconium complex, (CO)3Fe(μ-η5,η1-C4Me4P)2ZrCl2
on the chemistry of phospholyl and boratabenzene complexes of zirconium, which have shown potential notably as polymerization catalysts, this study aims at exploring the synthesis of mono boratabenzene and mono phospholyl zirconium complexes and at studying their reactivity towards the formation of mixed (boratabenzene)(phospholyl)zirconium complexes.
