摘要:
Reactions of Na[Co(CO)4] with the activated alkenes maleic anhydride (MA), dimethyl maleate (DM), and fumaronitrile (FN) in THF solution under photochemical conditions afford the monosubstituted products Na[Co(CO)3(alkene)]. Under thermal conditions, in THF at reflux, reactions of Na[Co(CO)4] with MA, FN, and dimethyl fumarate (DF) each afford the disubstituted complexes Na[Co(CO)2(alkene)2]. In the corresponding reaction of Na[Co(CO)4] with DM, the alkene undergoes isomerization to give Na[Co(CO)2(DF)2]. Tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) and Na[Co(CO)4] react even at -60 to 0-degrees-C to furnish (Na[Co(CO)3(TCNE)]. All of the aforementioned complexes were isolated as different THF solvates and characterized by a combination of elemental analysis and IR and H-1 and C-13{H-1} NMR spectroscopies. They react with CO to yield one or both of Na[Co(CO)3(alkene)] and Na[Co(CO)4] and with other activated alkenes (alkene2) to afford one or both of Na[Co(CO)2(alkene1)(alkene2)] and Na[Co(CO)4-x(alkene2)x] (x = 1 or 2). The reactivities of the various alkenes toward Na[Co(CO)4] and of Na[Co(CO)3(alkene)] and Na[Co(CO)2(alkene)2] toward CO and alkene2 are compared. The structure of Na[Co(CO)2(DF)2].THF was elucidated by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis: space group P1BAR, with a = 13.096 (2) angstrom, b = 18.287 (2) angstrom, c = 10.195 (2) angstrom, a = 90.49 (1)-degrees, beta = 91.16 (1)-degrees, gamma = 107.24 (1)-degrees, and Z = 4. The structure was solved and refined to R = 0.102 and R(w) = 0.069. The compound is a dimer of Na[Co(CO)2(DF)2].THF, formed by interaction of each Na+ ion with the oxygen atoms of two fumarate C = O groups from each [Co(CO)2(DF)2]- anion and with the oxygen atom of a THF molecule. The arrangement of these five oxygen donors around the Na+ ion is trigonal bipyramidal, whereas the geometry of the two CO carbons and the midpoints of the two C = C bonds about the Co atom is approximately tetrahedral.
