Redox properties of the 17-electron sandwich (η5-C5H5)Mo(η6-C6Ph6): electrochemical characterization of the 16 e− Lewis acid monocation and its PF6− adduct
摘要:
Thermolysis of CpMo(CH2C6H5)(eta(2)-PhC2Ph)[P(OMe)(3)] [Cp = (eta(5)-C5H5)] unexpectedly gives the mixed-sandwich 17-electron metallocene CpMo(eta(6)-C6Ph6), 1. The title compound undergoes reversible one-electron oxidation (E-1/2 = - 0.25 V vs. ferrocene) and reduction (E-1/2 = - 2.02 V) reactions which were characterized by voltammetry and coulometry. When the oxidation of 1 is accomplished in CH2Cl2/[Bu4N][PF6] electrolyte, the 16 e(-) Mo(II) complex 1(+) is in equilibrium with a thermodynamically-favored product formulated as the [PF6](-) adduct, 1-FPF5, 3. Adduct 3 remains intact upon further one-electron oxidation to the Mo(III) complex 3(+), but it rapidly releases [PF6](-) when reduced to the Mo(I) species 3(-). Other counterions such as [BF4](-) and [ClO4](-) do not show the same degree of interaction with the 16 e(-) Mo(II) cation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Reaction of the complex [Moeta(2)(4e)-PhC(2)Ph}P(OMe)(3)}(2)(eta-C5H5)][BF4]1 with MgR(X) (R = Me, Et or PhCH(2)) afforded good yields of [Moeta(2)(4e)-PhC(2)Ph}RP(OMe)(3)}(eta-C5H5)]. Unexpectedly, reaction of 1 with the 1,1-di-Grignard reagent CH2(MgI)(2) gave the X-ray crystallographically identified zwitterionic complex [Moeta(2)(4e)-PhC(2)Ph}eta(2)-P(OMe)(2)OBF2OP(OMe)(2)}(eta-C5H5)], similar reactions with the but-2-yne and 1-phenylprop-2-yne complexes affording the analogous [Moeta(2)(4e)-RC(2)R(2))eta(2)-P(OMe)(2)OBF2OP(OMe)(2)}(eta-C5H5)] (R = R(2) = Me; R = Me, R(2) = Ph). Treatment of the zwitterionic diphenylacetylene- and 1-phenylprop-2-yne-substituted complexes with K[BHBu(3)(s)] gave the anionic eta(2)(3e)-vinyl complexes K[Mo=C(R)CH(Ph)}eta(2)-P(OMe)(2)OBF2OP(OMe)(2)(eta-C5H5)] (R = Ph or Me). Protonation (HBF4 . Et(2)O) of the diphenyl-substituted eta(2)(3e)-vinyl complex followed by addition of carbon monoxide, trimethyl phosphite, or diphenylacetylene afforded trans-stilbene and the complexes [Mo(CO)(2)eta(2)-P(OMe)(2)OBF2OP(OMe)(2)}(eta(2)-C5H5)], [MoP(OMe)(3)}(2)eta(2)-P(OMe)(2)OBF2OP(OMe)(2)}(eta-C5H5)] and [Moeta(2)(4e)-PhC(2)Ph}eta(2)P(OMe)(2)OBF2OP(OMe)(2)}(eta-C5H5)] respectively. When CH2=CHCH2MgBr was added to 1 an unstable compound was formed, which on addition of P(OMe)(3) gave [Moeta(3)-C(Ph)=C(Ph)CH2CH=CH2}P(OMe)(3)}(2)(eta-C5H5)], the identity of which was confirmed by X-ray crystallography. This reaction is explained in terms of an unusual metalla-3,3-sigmatropic shift process. A similar reaction between 1 and CH2=CHMgBr followed by addition of P(OMe)(3) surprisingly gave the eta(3)-cyclopropenyl complex [Mo(eta(3)-C(3)Ph(2)Me)P(OMe)(3)}(2)(eta-C5H5)]. The complex [Moeta(2)(4e)-PhC(2)Ph}MeP(OMe)(3)}(eta-C5H5)] reacted thermally (78 degrees C) with an excess of PhC(2)Ph to give the X-ray crystallographically identified complex [MoH(eta(4)-C(5)H(2)Ph(4))P(OMe)(3)}(eta-C5H5)], which on heating (100 degrees C) afforded the dihydride [MoH2(eta(5)-C(5)HPh(4))(eta-C5H5)].
