Metal complexes with an aminosubstituted tricarbollide ligand
摘要:
The reaction of the tricarbollide salt Tl[7-tBuNH-7,8,9-C3B8H10] (Tl1) with [(cod)Rh(THF)(x)](+) gives the rhodium complex [1(cod)-12-tBuNH-1,2,4,12-RhC3B8H10] in almost quantitative yield. Analogous reactions of Tl1 with [(ring)M(THF)(x)](2+) ((ring)M = Cp*Rh and (1,3,5-C6H3Me3)Ru) afford the corresponding metallatricarbollides [1-(ring)-12-tBuNH-1,2,4,12-MC3B8H10] in ca. 50% yield. Refluxing Tl1 with [Mn(CO)(3)(MeCN)(3)](+) in THF give the tricarbollide analogue of eymantrene, [1,1,1-(CO)(3)-12-tBuNH-1,2,4,12-MnC3B8H10], the structure of which was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In all cases, the formation of the metallatricarbollide complexes is accompanied by polyhedral rearrangement leading to the maximum separation of the cage carbon atoms. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
