Discrete Iridium Pyridonate Chains with Variable Metal Valence: Nature and Energetics of the Ir−Ir Bonding from DFT Calculations
摘要:
The structure of the Ir-1 complex [lr(2)(mu-OPY)(2)(CO)(4)] (Opy = 2-pyridonate) has been fully characterized in its head-to-head (A) configuration as a "dimer of dimers" AA in which two binuclear complexes are connected by means of a weak, but unsupported, iridium-iridium interaction (Ir(2)Ir-...(2A) 2.9808(6) angstrom). The head-to-tail isomer, referred to as B, was found in equilibrium with A in solution. It has been shown that this complex can be oxidized by diiodine to give iridium chains with highly selective configurations and general formula I-[Ir-2(mu-OPY)(2)(CO)(4)](n)-l (n = 1-3). The synthesis of IAI (1), of the isomers IAAI (2AA) and IABI (2AB), and of IABAI (3) is reported. DFT calculations have been carried out on A and B and on the known isomers of 1-3, as well as on two isomers of the hypothetic chain of eight Ir-1.25 atoms corresponding to n = 4. The stability of the metal chain is assigned to a 2-electron/2n-center sigma bond delocalized along the metal backbone and supplemented with a weak attractive interaction of the metallophilic type. Calculations confirm that further oxidation of the Ir chains corresponding to n > 1 by iodine, yielding the cleavage of one or two unsupported bond(s), is a highly exothermic process. The formation of the I-[Ir-2(mu-OPy)(2)(CO)(4)](n)-l Chains is also computed to be exothermic, either highly for n = 1 or still significantly for n = 2 and 3. At variance with these results, the formation of an octanuclear chain is predicted to be no more than marginally exothermic (Delta G = 1.7 kcal(.)mol(-1)), mainly because of interligand strain induced by the steric bulk of the amidate rings.

Binuclear complexes with head-to-tail (HT) configurations are appropriate for building tetrametallic chains, contrary to previous speculations. Moreover, the isolated HT,HH tetrametallic species are converted into the thermodynamically more stable HH,HH compounds.
