Binuclear Carbyne and Ketenyl Derivatives of the Alkyl-Bridged Complexes [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2(μ-CH2R)(μ-PCy2)(CO)2] (R = H, Ph)
摘要:
The 30-electron benzylidyne complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-CPh)(mu-PCy2)(mu-CO)] (Cp = eta(5)-C5H5) could be conveniently prepared upon photolysis of the benzyl-bridged complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-CH2Ph)(mu-PCy2)(CO)(2)]. It reacted with CO to give the ketenyl complex [Mo2Cp2{mu-C(Ph)CO}(mu-PCy2)(CO)(2)] (2.6101(2) angstrom), which in turn could be selectively decarbonylated at 353 K to give the 32-electron benzylidyne derivative [Mo2Cp2(mu-CPh)(mu-PCy2)(CO)(2)] (Mo-Mo = 2.666(1) angstrom). Related methylidyne complexes could be obtained from the methyl-bridged complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-CH3)(mu-PCy2)(CO)(2)] via its trinuclear derivative [Mo3Cp2(mu(3)-CH)(mu-PCy2)(CO)(7)] Thus, the carbonylation of the latter cluster gave the ketenyl complex [Mo2Cp2{mu-C(H)CO}(mu-PCy2)(CO)(2)], whereas its reaction with P(OMe)(3) gave the substituted cluster [Mo3Cp2(mu(3)-CH)(mu-PCy2)(CO)(6){P(OMe)(3)}], which in turn could be thermally degraded to give selectively the 30-electron methylidyne derivative [Mo2Cp2(mu-CH)(mu-PCy2)(mu-CO)] (Mo-Mo = 2.467(1) angstrom). DFT calculations on the phenylketenyl complex revealed that the metal ligand interaction is intermediate between the extreme descriptions represented by the acylium (3-electron donor) and ketenyl (1-electron donor) canonical forms of this ligand.
