has been characterised
crystallographically. It forms monoclinic crystals in space group

a = 7.926(2),
b = 12.179(4),
c = 13.675(4) Ã
and
β = 102.91(2)°. The structure reveals the
expected features of distortion of the C

from planarity at the co-ordinated CâC bond. The rhenium lies
2.059(7) Ã
from the mid-point of the co-ordinated
CâC bond of C

. The IR and
low-temperature

rotamers, which are interconverted by rotation about the

intramolecular rearrangement causes broadening of the

resonances. This fluxional process has been identified as a [1, 2]-shift
of the site of rhenium co-ordination by linewidth and exchange

The dynamic behaviour of the
(η

similar. The crystal structure of
[Rh(η

)(PMe

)], synthesised previously,
has been determined for comparison. It crystallises in the same space
group with a = 8.694(9),
b = 16.818(9),
c = 14.642(6) Ã
and
β = 106.69(6)°. The structural features of this
rhodium complex are very similar to the rhenium complex, but the metal
lies 1.920(5) Ã
from the mid-point of the co-ordinated
CâC bond of the C
6
F
6
unit. The shortening
of the MâC
6
F
6
bond is associated with the
stereochemical rigidity of this complex. The CâF bonds of the
co-ordinated carbons atoms are 0.049(7) Ã
longer than the
remaining CâF bonds. Comparison of structural features of three
η
2
-C
6
F
6
complexes revealed that the
distortions of the C
6
F
6
unit are almost constant,
indicating a hard potential-energy surface. The analogy to co-ordinated
C

F
4
is reinforced by the similarity in
co-ordination geometry. The electron-withdrawing character of
η

is confirmed by the
(CO) frequencies of

Re(Î- 5 -C 5 H 4 R)(CO) 3 ](R = H 或 Me)在六氟苯中光解后得到了含有 Î- 2 共配位炔的 [Re(Î- 5 -C 5 H 4 R)(CO) 2 ( Î- 2 -C 6 F 6 )] 复合物。含有 Î- 5 -C 5 H 5 的复合物已经过晶体学鉴定。它在空间群 P2 1 /n 中形成单斜晶体,Z = 4,a = 7.926(2),b = 12.179(4),c = 13.675(4),δ = 102.91(2)°。该结构揭示了 C 6 F 6 单元在共线 CâC 键处平面变形的预期特征。铼位于 C 6 F 6 配位 CâC 键中点的 2.059(7) à 处。红外光谱和低温 19 F NMR 光谱显示了两个旋转体的存在,它们在 184 K 时通过围绕金属与 C 6 F 6 键的旋转而相互转化,δG ¡ = 36.7 kJ mol -1 。通过线宽和交换光谱测量,这一通量过程被确定为铼配位位点的[1, 2]位移:δH = 57.6 ± 0.5 kJ mol -1 ,δS = -7 ± 2 J K -1 mol -1 。 (δ- 5 -C 5 H 4 Me) 复合物的动态行为极为相似。之前合成的[Rh(δ- 5 -C 5 Me 5 )(PMe 3 )( δ- 2 -C 6 F 6 )]的晶体结构已经确定,以便进行比较。它在相同的空间群中结晶,a = 8.694(9),b = 16.818(9),c = 14.642(6) à 和 δ = 106.69(6)° 。该铑络合物的结构特征与铼络合物十分相似,但金属距离 C 6 F 6 单元共价 CâC 键的中点有 1.920(5) Ã。MâC 6 F 6 键的缩短与该复合物的立体化学刚性有关。共配位碳原子的 CâF 键比其余的 CâF 键长 0.049(7) Ã。对三种δ- 2 -C 6 F 6 复合物的结构特征进行比较后发现,C 6 F 6 单元的畸变几乎是恒定的,这表明该复合物具有坚硬的势能面。配位几何的相似性加强了与配位 C 2 F 4 的相似性。Re(Î- 5 -C 5 H 5 )(CO) 2 (Î- 2 -C 6 F 6 )] 的(CO)频率位于[Re(Î- 5 -C 5 H 5 )(CO) 2 L]类型络合物的高限,这证实了δ- 2 -C 6 F 6 的吸电子特性。
