摘要:
Two neutral mono and dinuclear rhenium(V) complexes, cis-ReOCl2(P similar to O)(pym) (1) and cis-[ReOCl2(P similar to O)](2)(mu-pym) (2 center dot (CH3)(2)CO), with the hydrospirophosphorane ligand HP similar to O (HP similar to O=octamethyl-2,2,3,3,7,7,8,8-tetraoxa-5 lambda(5) 1,4,6,9-phosphaspiro-4,4-nonane) have been prepared. The coordination geometry of the complexes has been determined in solution by NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, as well as in the solid state by IR, FIR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complexes display distorted octahedral geometries. X-ray structures of 1 and 2 reveal that the ReCl2NP fragments are equatorially disposed and the oxygens, terminal oxo and alcoholato, lie in axial positions. The pyrimidine coordinates as a monodentate or bridging ligand. Detailed temperature dependent H-1 NMR analysis for both 1 and 2 shows that in solution the diaza moiety exhibits hindered rotation about the Re-N bond. Furthermore two concomitant conformation changes, one in the metallacycle and the second in the phosphorus cycle, are also observed for dimer 2. Crown Copyright (c) 2008 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
