Completion of the Series of M2(hpp)4Cl2 Compounds from W to Pt: The W, Os, and Pt Compounds
摘要:
The series of M-2(hpp)(4)Cl-2 complexes (hpp is the anion of 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-pyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine) from M = W to M = Pt has been completed by the preparation and characterization of those with M = W, Os, and Pt. W-2(hpp)(4)Cl-2 (1) has a W-W distance of 2.250(2) Angstrom, is diamagnetic, and can be assigned a W-W triple bond based on a sigma(2)pi(4) electron configuration. Os-2(hpp)(4)Cl-2 (2) has an Os-Os distance of 2.379(2) Angstrom and displays a temperature-independent paramagnetism. It can be assigned a sigma(2)pi(4)delta(2)delta(*2)configuration. Pt-2(hpp)(4)Cl-2 has a Pt-Pt distance of 2.440(1) Angstrom and is diamagnetic. A bond order of 1, based on a configuration in which only the sigma* orbital is empty, is consistent with these data.
