In Search of Cationic Germanium(II)−Transition Metal Complexes L2Ge+W(CO)5 and L2Ge+W(CO)4Ge+L2
摘要:
New germanium(II) -tungsten complexes [L-2(X)Ge](n)W(CO)(6-n) (L-2 = NPhC(Me)CHC(Me)-NPh, n = 1, X = OTf (2); n = 2, X = Cl (13)) have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. In compound 2 the triflate was found to be very weakly coordinating to the germanium in the solid state, and this result is confirmed by DFT calculations. All the spectroscopic data are consistent with the L-2(X)Ge ligands being good sigma-donors and poor pi-acceptors in these complexes, similar to the phosphine ligands in homologous R3P complexes. Starting from the chlorogermanium(II)-tungsten complexes (L2(Cl)Ge)nW(CO)6-n (n = 1 (1), n = 2 (13)), metathesis reactions with halide or weakly coordinating anions A(-)(A- = TfO-, BPh4-, PF6-) have been investigated as a general approach to obtain the cationic germanium species [(LGe+)-Ge-2](n)W(CO)(6-n). In the case of A(-) = TfO-, spontaneous dissociation of the anion leading to an equilibrium between a neutral and a cationic tetracoordinated germanium species is observed in coordinating solvents. Treatment of L-2(X)Ge with MX3 (M = Ga, X = Cl; M = In, X = I) afforded the neutral complexes (LMX2)-M-2 (M = Ga (7) and In (8)) by ligand transfer reactions. The crystal structure of 8 was determined by X-ray structure analysis.
New Insight into the Three-Coordinate Divalent Germanium Compounds L<sup>2</sup>GeΣ (L<sup>2</sup> = PhNC(Me)CHC(Me)NPh, Σ = Cl, I, Me, OMe). Structural, Photoelectron Spectroscopic, and Theoretical Analysis
crystal structures of 1−3 and their electronicstructures have been determined by X-ray diffraction and UV-photoelectronspectroscopy (UPS), respectively. DFT calculations on 1 and 3 were carried out at the B3LYP level of theory. Natural bond orbital analysis for the model molecules 1‘ and 3‘ (without phenyl) gives information on the Ge−Σ bonding. It turns out from the NMR, mass spectroscopy, and X-ray
An experimental and theoretical study of the heteroleptic divalent germanium compounds containing the bidentate coordinating monoanionic β-diketiminate ligand L2GeΣ (L2 = PhNC(Me)CHC(Me)NPh; Σ = Cl (1), I (2), Me (3), OMe (4)) has been performed in this contribution. The new stable germanium(II) compounds 3 and 4 have been synthesized by reaction of 1 with RLi (R = Me, OMe) and fully characterized
Heteronuclear bonding between heavier Group 14 elements and transition-metals: novel halogermylene- and stannylene transition-metal complexes L2(X)MM′L′n [L2=PhNC(Me)CHC(Me)NPh; X=Cl, I; M=Ge, Sn; M′L′n=W(CO)5, Fe(CO)4]
Reactions of the stable heteroleptic halodivalent species L-2(X)M [L-2 = PhNC(Me)CHC(Me)NPh; M = Ge, X = C1 (1) X = 1 (2); M = Sn, X = Cl (5)] with the intermediate metal complexes W(CO)(5) THF and Fe(CO)(4) have provided the new halogermylene- or stannylenetungsten- and iron-complexes L-2(X)MM'L-n' [M'L-n' = W(CO)(5), M = Ge, X = Cl (3), X = 1 (4); M'L-n' = Fe(CO)(4), X = Cl, M = Ge (6), M = Sn (7)] respectively, complexes 3, 4 and 6, 7 have been characterized via X-ray crystallography and a detailed discussion of their structures is presented. All the MM' bonds are very short but calculations are consistent with the (LMX)-M-2 ligands being good sigma-donors and very poor pi-acceptors in complexes 3, 4 and 6, 7. Selective metathesis reaction between 3 and MeLi resulted in the formation of the stable monomeric complex L-2(Me)GeW(CO)(5) (8). (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
Heteronuclear Multiple Bonding between Heavier Group 14 and 16 Elements. A New Class of Germylated Compounds, the Germanethiocarbamyl and Germaneselenocarbamyl Chlorides L<sup>2</sup>(Cl)GeY (Y = S, Se)
The first monomeric germanethiocarbamyl halides containing a chelating beta-diiminate ligand, L-2(CI)Ge=Y (L-2 = PhNC(Me)CHC(Me)NPh; Y = S (2), Y = Se (3)), have been prepared by the reaction of the corresponding heteroleptic halogermylene L-2(Cl)Ge (1) with elemental sulfur or black selenium in refluxing toluene. Single-crystal X-ray structural analyses of 2 and 3 reveal that the germanium centers reside in highly distorted tetrahedral environments in these compounds; short Ge-Y distances (Ge-S = 2.07 Angstrom (2); Ge-Se = 2.21 Angstrom (3)) are indicative of an unsaturated character of these germanium-chalcogen bonds. Selective reactions between 2 or 3 and MeLi afforded the corresponding alkylated germanechalcogenones L-2(Me)Ge=Y (Y = S (4), Se (5)).
