摘要:
Half-sandwich osmium(II) and osmium(IV) complexes have been prepared by reaction of the hexahydride complex OsH(6)(P(i)Pr(3))(2), (1) with phenol, pyrrole, and methylcyclopentadienes. The reaction with phenol initially leads to OsH(3)(OPh)(P(i)Pr(3))(2) (2). In toluene, 2 undergoes reductive elimination of phenol, which tautomerizes to give OsH(2)(eta(4)-2,4-cyclohexadien-1-one)(P(i)Pr(3))(2) (3). The equilibrium mixture of 2 and 3 evolves into OsH(eta(5)-PhO)(P(i)Pr(3))(2) (4) with loss of molecular hydrogen. The addition of HBF(4) to diethyl ether solutions of 4 leads to [OsH(eta(6)-PhOH)(P(i)Pr(3))(2)]BF(4) (6). The reaction of 1 with pyrrole gives OsH(eta(5)-C(4)H(4)N)(P(i)Pr(3))(2) (7), which by addition of HBF(4) affords [OsH(2)(eta(5)-C(4)H(4)N)(P(i)Pr(3))(2)]BF(4) (8). Similarly, treatment of 1 with methylcyclopentadiene leads to OsH(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Me)(P(i)Pr(3))(2). (9), which reacts with HBF(4) to give [OsH(2)(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)Me)(P(i)Pr(3))(2)]BF(4) (10). Treatment of toluene solutions of 1 with tetramethylcyclopentadiene gives a mixture of the trihydride OsH(3)(eta(5)-C(5)HMe(4))(P(i)Pr(3)) (11; 56%) and the dihydride-tolyl derivatives OsH(2)(m-tolyl)(eta(5)-C(5)HMe(4))(P(i)Pr(3)) (12; 14%) and OsH(2)(p-tolyl)(eta(5)-C(5)HMe(4))(P(i)Pr(3)) (13; 30%). However in n-octane the trihydride 11 is formed in 85% yield. In contrast to tetramethylcyclopentadiene, pentamethylcyclopentadiene reacts with 1 in toluene to give selectively the trihydride OsH(3)(eta(5)-C(5)Me(5))(P(i)Pr(3)) (14). Complexes 2 and 7 have been characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.
