摘要:
The complexes (mu,eta(5):eta(5)-dibenzo[a,d]fulvalene)M(2)(CO)(6) (1a, M = Cr; 1b, M = Mo; 4, M = Mo, [a,f] isomer; 1c, M = W) were prepared in the cases of Cr and Mo by a one-pot double-deprotonation, migration, and oxidation sequence starting with mu,eta(6):eta(6)-3,3'-biindenyl)M(2)(CO)(6) (3a,b) and in the case of W directly from 1,1'-biindenyl and W(CO)(3)(py)(3). The dianion of la reacted with Diazald to give (mu,eta(5):eta(5)-dibenzo[a,d]fulvalene)Cr-2(CO)(4)(NO)(2), 15, Crystal structures were determined for 3a, 4, and the trimethyl phosphite substitution product of 1b (11). The solid state conformation of 3a apparently results from a compromise between the tendency of the tricarbonylchromium moieties to point in opposite directions and the preference for an s-trans configuration of the organic ligand. The Mo-Mo bond length in 4 is 3.286(4) Angstrom, compared with 3.371(1) Angstrom found in (fulvalene)dimolybdenum hexacarbonyl; both structures exhibit comparable degrees of pyramidalization, although the annulated analogue is significantly more twisted. The Mo-Mo bond of 11 was also shorter (3.317 Angstrom than that of the fulvalene analogue. The degree of twisting found in 11 is intermediate between 4 and (fulvalene)dimolybdenum hexacarbonyl.
