Ligand rearrangement and oxidation during preparation of diiron hydrogenase active site models [(μ-SCH2)2NCH2CO2Me]Fe2(CO)5(Ph2PNHPy-4) and [(μ-SCH2)2NCH2CO2Me]Fe2(CO)5[Ph2PP(O)Ph2]
摘要:
Reaction of [(mu-SCH2)(2)NCH2CO2Me]Fe-2(CO)(6) with 4-PyN(PPh2)(2) (Py = C5H4N) in the presence of the decarbonylating agent Me3NO center dot 2H(2)O afforded unexpected complexes [(mu-SCH2)(2)NCH2CO2Me]Fe-2(CO)(5)( Ph2PNHPy-4) (1) and [(mu-SCH2)(2)NCH2CO2Me]Fe-2(CO)(5)[Ph2PP(O)Ph-2] (2) in 40% and 14% yields, respectively. The new complexes 1 and 2 have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR and H-1 (P-31, C-13) NMR spectroscopic techniques. In addition, their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, indicating that the monophosphine ligands in complexes 1 and 2 both reside in an axial position of the square-pyramidal coordination sphere of the Fe atoms.
