摘要:
In the reaction of the doubly-bridged biscyclopentadiene (C5H4(SiMe2))(C5H4(SiMePh)) (1b) with Fe(CO)(5), migration of the bridging SiMe2 or SiMePh group from the ligand to an iron atom gives the corresponding compound (SiMePh)(eta(5)-C5H3)(eta(5):eta(1)-C5H3)[(SiMe2)Fe(CO)(2)[Fe(CO)(2)] (4) or (SiMe2)(eta(5)-C5H3)(eta(5):eta(1)-C-5-H-3)[(SiMePh)Fe(CO)(2)][Fe(CO)(2)] (5), containing one Fe-Si bond. The reaction also affords the product [(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)(SiMePh)]Fe-2(CO)(2)(mu-CO)(2) (6), in which the SiMe2 group is totally cleaved, and the corresponding doubly-bridged Fe-Fe bonded products [(eta(5)-C5H3(SiMe2))(eta(5)-C5H3(SiMePh))]Fe-2(CO)(4) (2 and 3) as a pair of isomers. A similar reaction of 1b with Mo(O)(6) only results in the SiMe2 cleaved product [(eta(5)-C5H4)(2)(SiMePh)]Mo-2(CO)(6) (9), as well as the normal doubly-bridged Mo-Mo bonded complexes [(eta(5)-C5H3(SiMe2))(eta(5)-C5H3(SiMePh)]Mo-2(CO)(6) (7 and 8) as a pair of isomers. Reaction of the doubly-bridged biscyclopentadiene (C5H4(SiMe2))(C5H4(SiPh2)) (1c) with Fe(CO)(5) or Mo(CO)(6), similarly, yields the corresponding SiMe2 removed product (11 or 13) and the doubly-bridged dinuclear complex (10 or 12). The molecular structures of complexes 2, 4, 5 and 7 were determined by X-ray diffraction. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
