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.

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.
