Synthesis and characterization of the unusual cluster [Ni2(GaAr′)2(η1:η1-μ2-C2H4)]: Ready addition of ethylene to Ni(COD)(GaAr′)2 at 25 °C and 1 atmosphere
摘要:
The nickel (0) compound Ni(COD)(GaAr')(2) (Ar' - C6H3-2,6-(C6H3-2,6-i-Pr-2)(2)), 1, was synthesized by the reaction of Ni(COD)(2) (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with (GaAr')(2). Compound 1 reacted with ethylene at 25 degrees C and at 1 atm pressure to give the bimetallic cluster [Ni-2(GaAr')(2)(eta(1):eta(1)-mu(2)-C2H4)], 2, through the incorporation of one molecule of ethylene and displacement of COD. The structure of 2 featured an unusual Ni2Ga2C2 core bicyclic structure in which the C2H4 moiety bridges the Ga center dot center dot center dot Ga edge of a Ga2Ni2 tetrahedron. The galliums each carry an eta(1)-bonded Ar' substituent which complexes the nickel atom by an eta(6)-pi interaction with one of its flanking Ar' rings. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
