摘要:
A new series of dinuclear complexes [(Cp*M)(2){(2-pyridyl)-C=C-(2-pyridyl)}Cl-2] (M = Rh (1a), Ir (1b)) and tetranuclear metallamacrocycles [{(Cp*M)(2){(2-pyridyl)-C=C-(2-pyridyl)}(pyrazine)}(2)](OTf)(4) (M = Rh (2a), Ir (2b)), [{(CP*M)(2){(2-pyridyl)-C=C-(2-pyridyl)}(bpy)}(2)](OTf)(4) (M = Rh (3a), Ir (3b); bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), and [{(Cp*M)(2){(2-pyridyl)-C=C-(2-pyridyl)}(bpe)}(2)](OTf)(4) (M = Rh (4a), Ir (4b); 4,4'-bpe = trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene) were constructed stepwise through double-site C H activation on the olefinic C=C bond of 1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethylene. Isomers were observed in both the dinuclear species and tetranuclear macrocyclic complexes and were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecular structures of la c, (R,R)-(S,S)-3b, (R,R)-(S,S)-4a, (R,R)-(R,R)-/(S,S)-(S,S)-4a, and (R,R)-(S,S)-4b were characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. All complexes were fully characterized by H-1 NMR spectroscopy, ESI-MS, and elemental analysis.
