摘要:
The reaction of [Rh-2(mu-Cl)(2)(cod)(2)] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with Na[H2B(mt)(2)] (mt = methimazolyl) provides the complex [Rh(cod){H2B(mt)(2)}] (1), which in turn reacts with CO or CNC6H3Me2-2,6 to provide the derivatives [RhL2{H2B(mt)(2)}] (L = CO (2), CNC6H3Me2-2,6 (3)). In a similar manner [Rh-2-(mu-Cl)(2)(cod)(2)] reacts with H2C(Mt)(2) to provide the cationic complex [Rh(cod){H2C(mt)(2)}](+) (4(+)), which was isolated after counteranion metathesis as either 4-BF4 or 4 center dot PF6. Carbonylation of 4-PF6 provides [Rh(CO)(2){H2C)(mt)(2)}]PF6 (5 center dot PF6); however, the reaction is reversible in the presence of cod, regenerating 4-PF6 under reduced pressure. The reactions of 4-PF6 with CNC6H3Me2-2,6 or CNCMe3 provide respectively the salts [Rh(CNC6H3Me2-2,6)(2){H2C(mt)(2)}]PF6 (6-PF6) and [Rh(CNCMe3)(4)]PF6. The crystal structures of 1, 4-BF4, 4-PF6, and 6-BF4 reveal long B-H...Rh or C-H...Rh interactions; however, such an interaction is effectively absent for 5-PF6-CHCl3, while solution spectroscopy (H-1 NMR and IR) indicates that none of these interactions persist in solution. The complexes 1 and 4(+) represent the first structurally characterized isoelectronic pair involving, albeit weak, three-center-two-electron B-H-metal or C-H-metal interactions.
