摘要:
The five-coordinate anion [Mn(CO)(3)(DBCat)](-)has been found to undergo nucleophilic CO substitution reactions with L = PR3, P(OR)(3) producing the dicarbonyl derivatives [Mn(CO)(2)(L)(DBCat)](-). The reaction yield is higher for better nucleophiles such as L = PEt3 and P(OEt)(3); the latter species reacts quantitatively even when added in an equivalent amount. Contrary to this, bully phosphines with the cone angle theta greater than or equal to 145 degrees, namely L = PPh3, PCy3, do not show this reaction but interact reversibly with [Mn(CO)(3)(DBCat)](-) at low temperatures to give the six-coordinate adducts [Mn(CO)(3)(DBCat). L](-). For L = pyridine the corresponding adduct is already formed at room temperature. Similarly, [Mn(CO)(2){P(OEt)(3)} (DBCat)](-) takes up reversibly P(OEt)(3). The spectroscopic and redox properties of the adducts closely correspond with those of the invariably six-coordinate anions [Re(CO)(4-n)(L)(n)(DBCat)](-) (n=1, 2). The uptake of a Lewis base by [Mn(CO)(3)(DBCat)](-) is facilitated by an electrophilic attack at the oxygen lone pairs of the sigma,pi-donor DBCat ligand. Examples are the anions [Mn(CO)(3)(L) (DBCat . BF3)](-) (L = THF, PPh3) and [Mn(CO)(3)(PPh3) (DBCat . CS,)](-) which an inherently stable at ambient temperature. This reactivity is closely related to the DBCat-localized le oxidation of [Mn(CO)(3)(DBCat)](-) producing six-coordinate radicals [Mn(CO)(3)(L)(DBSQ)]. The electrophilic attack of CS2 at the DBCat ligand has also been documented by the conversion of [Mn(CO)(3)(DBCat)](-) in the absence of PPh3 to the trithiocarbonate complex [Mn(CO)(4)(S2CS)](-) and uncoordinated 4,6-di-tert-butyl-1,3-benzdioxol-2-thione.
