1,2-Metallotropic shifts in tricarbonylrhenium(I) complexes of pyridazine (pydz): a dynamic NMR investigation of the effects of cis-chelating ligands
摘要:
Complexes of general formula fac-[Re(CO)(3)(L-L)(pydz)][BF4] (L-L=neutral bidentate chelate ligand; pydz=pyridazine) were prepared in high yield from fac-[ReBr(CO)(3)(L-L)]. The pyridazine ligand coordinates to the metal moiety in a monodentate fashion, and undergoes a facile intramolecular 1,2-Re-N shift. The kinetics of the 1,2-metallotropic shift were measured by either one-dimensional NMR bandshape analysis or two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy. The free energies of activation, Delta G(not equal) (298 K), were found to be dependent on the nature of the chelate ligand, and were in the range 77-87 kl mol(-1). The origins of the chelate ligand effects are discussed.
