The title compound, [Ni-2(C5H5)(C10H15)(C12H8)] or [Ni-(C10H15){Ni(C5H5)(C12H8)}], is a rare example (and the first obtained from nickelafluorenyllithium) of an analogue of nickelocene in which the central Ni atom is coordinated to one pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ring and one nickelafluorenyl ring. Both rings lie almost parallel to one another: the dihedral angle between the planes which include these rings is 4.4 (1)degrees. Slip parameter analysis indicates that the bonding mode of the central Ni atom to the nickelacyclic ring is between eta(3) and eta(5). Two-dimensional layers of molecules are formed by C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions.
Synthesis and Structures of 9-Nickelafluorenyllithium Complexes
摘要:
A novel lithium biphenyl-2,2'-diyl(cyclopentadienyl)nickelate compound (9-nickelafluorenyllithium complex), ether)(2) (1), was prepared in the reaction between 2,2' dilithiobiphenyl and nickelocene in diethyl ether. Compound 1 was transformed to other 9-nickelafluorenyllithium compounds, [(1-(eta(5)-cyclopentadienyl))-1-nickelafluorenyl][lithium-(dimethoxyethane)(3)] (2) and (eta(5-)(1-(eta(5)-cyclopentadienyl))-1-nickelafluorenyl)lithium(dimethoxyethane) (3), whose crystal and molecular structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis.
