Three 18-Electron Tantalum(I) Compounds, TaCl(CO)2(dppe)2, [TaCl(CO)2(dppe)2]2x, and TaCl(CO)4(dppe) (dppe = 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane), Which Exhibit Low Levels of Paramagnetism
摘要:
Reductive carbonylation of TaCl5 in the presence of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) under the appropriate conditions results in the formation of TaCl(CO)(2)(dppe)(2) (1), as the major product, and the possibly cyclic oligomer [TaCl(CO)(2)(dppe)(2)](2x), (2, 2x greater than or equal to 4) as a minor product. Carbonylation of 1 (1 atm) results in the rapid but reversible formation of TaCl(CO)(4)(dppe) (3). Solutions of all three compounds exhibit low levels of paramagnetism, possibly attributable to thermal population of low-lying triplet excited states.
