Diphenylborylated derivatives of organocobaloximes and organorhodoximes: Synthesis, spectroscopic and structural characterisation
摘要:
A series of organometallic complexes derived by organocobaloximes and organorhodoximes in which either one or both the hydrogen bridges have been replaced by BPh2 groups, RM(DH)(DBPh2)N-MeIm and RM((DBPh2)(2) N-MeIm, respectively, have been synthesised and characterised, both in solution and in solid state. H-1 NMR spectra show that they assume different interconverting conformations in solution. With increasing steric bulk of R, the axial phenyls of the BPh2 group tend to face N-MeIm, forcing the latter in an orientation which is quite unusual in organocobaloximes and causing a lengthening of the Co-N bond. Some possible implications on the strength of the trans Co-C bond are discussed. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
