Synthesis and Comparison of Transition Metal Complexes of Abnormal and Normal Tetrazolylidenes: A Neglected Ligand Species
摘要:
To date, only few examples of tetrazolylidene carbenes coordinated to transition metal complexes have been described. A direct comparison of "normal" tetrazolylidenes (1,4-substitution pattern) and "abnormal" tetrazolylidenes (also referred to as "mesoionic carbenes"; 1,3-substitution pattern) has not been performed at all. In this work, we describe coordination of both ligand types to a row of transition metals. For example, the first examples of tetrazolylidene Mo, Ag, or Ir complexes have been isolated and fully characterized. The mesoionic tetrazolylidene Ag compound 2d is shown to be a viable carbene transfer reagent. By means of NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy, as well as X-ray crystallography and computational results, the pronounced differences between the two ligand substitution patterns are highlighted. It is shown that simply changing the position of a methyl group from N3 to N4 in the heterocycle can cause enormous differences in ligand characteristics.

In order to study the relative stability of cis- and trans-isomers of bis(NHC)tetracarbonyl complexes of group 6 metals, we synthesized the corresponding complexes with triazolin- and tetrazolinylidene ligands. By reaction of the free carbene (L = 1,3,4-triphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazolin-5-ylidene)-first synthesized by Enders - with the hexacarbonyls of Cr, Mo and W the corresponding M(L)(CO)(5) complexes are generated. Depending on an excess of carbene also the cis-(L)(2)Mo(CO)(4) complex was obtained. The latter can be photolytically converted to the trans-(L)(2)Mo(CO)(4) complex. The corresponding complexes with the 1,4-dimethyltetrazolin-5-ylidene ligand (L'), Cr(L')(CO)(5), cis-(L')(2)Cr(CO)(4) and trans-(L')(2)Cr(CO)(4) can be obtained by reaction of hexacarbonyl-mu-trihydroxy-dichromate with dimethyltetrazolium salt. In the cis-(L')(2)Cr(CO)(4) complex, one carbonyl ligand can be replaced by donor ligands such as pyridine or phenylisocyanide to form sym-mer-tricarbonyl complexes. All new complexes are fully characterized by spectroscopy and most by single-crystal X-ray analysis. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) rhodium(l) complexes of general formula Rh(COD)X(NHC) are synthesized and structurally characterized (spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction). The relative sigma-donor/pi-acceptor quality of various NHC ligands was examined and classified by means of IR spectroscopy at the corresponding Rh(CO)(2)I(NHC) complexes. The first single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of rhodium pyrazolin- and tetrazolinylidene complexes are reported. A wide variety of different azolium salts was applied to obtain rhodium and iridium complexes with two and four carbene ligands.
