Crystal structures of [η5-C5H4CR(SCH2)2]Cr(NO)2X (R = H, X = Cl or I; R = CH3, X = Cl) and unequivocal assignments of C(2,5) and C(3,4) on the cyclopentadienyl ring of dicarbonyl(η5-cyclopentadienyl)nitrosylchromium, chloro(η5-cyclopentadienyl)dinitrosylchromium, (η5-cyclopentadienyl)iododinitrosylchromium, and (η5-cyclopentadienyl)methyldinitrosylchromium, bearing an electron-donating substituent via induction in 13C NMR spectra
摘要:
After thioacetalization with 1,2-ethanedithiol complexes (eta(5)-C5H4COR)Cr(CO)(2)(NO) (R = H, CH3) were converted to [eta(5)-C5H4CR(SCH2)(2)]Cr(CO)(2)(NO). Chlorination/nitrosylation of the latter with hydrogen chloride/isoamyl nitrite gave [eta(5)-C5H4CR(SCH2)(2)]Cr(NO)(2)Cl (R = H 2f, CH3 2g). Those complexes were converted to iodide analog, [eta(5)-C5H4CR(SCH2)(2)]Cr(NO)(2)I (R = H 3f, CH3 3g) with potassium iodide. The diastereotopism of the two sets of methylene hydrogens on the dithiolanyl substituent was observed in H-1 NMR spectra of 2f and 3f, but not in those of 2g and 3g. The environmental disparity revealed by X-ray structures may account for it. Based on the 2D HETCOR, the H(2,5) resonates at a lower field than H(3,4) on the Cp(Cr) ring in 3g, as ferrocene analog (eta(5)-C5H4CH2CH3)FeCp, opposite to CpCr(CO)(2)(NO) analog (eta(5)-C5H4CH2CH3)Cr(CO)(2)(NO). The electron density distribution in the cyclopentadienyl ring was discussed on the basis of C-13 NMR data and was compared with calculations using the density functional B3LYP exchange-correlation method for those with X-ray diffraction studies.
