Reactions of bis(mesitylimido)bis(arylthiolato)chromium(VI) compounds
摘要:
The chromium(VI) imidothiolato complex, Cr(Nmes)(2)(Smes)(2) (1), mes = 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2), reacts with 2,6-xylylisocyanide (xylNC) to form the five-coordinate chromium(IV) complex Cr(Nmes)(Smes)(2)(xylNC)(2)(2). A similar interaction of Cr(Nmes)(2) (SC6H2-2,4,6-P-3(i))(2) gives only the disulfide adduct Cr(Nmes)(2)(SC6H2-2,4,6-Pr-3(i))(2) .(2,4,6-(Pr3C6H2S)-C-i)(2)(3). Interaction of 1 and PMePh(2) gives Cr-4(Nmes)(2)(mu-Nmes)(4)(Smes)(2)(O)(2)(mu-O)(2)(4), where the oxygen atoms arise from adventious oxygen during work up. The X-ray crystal structures of 2-4 have been determined. In 2 the Cr-IV centre has trigonal bipyramidal geometry with axial isocyanides. The Cr-VI centre in 3 is tetrahedral and 4 is a centrosymmetric tetramer in which the outer Cr-V centres are tetrahedral and the inner Cr-IV entres are square-pyramidal.
