摘要:
The bis(phosphite) anionic hydride [Et4N+][HFe(CO)2(P(OPh)3)2-] has been synthesized by deprotonation of H2Fe(CO)2(P(OPh)3)2 with [Et4N+][OH-]. The [Et4N+][HFe(CO)2(P(OPh)3)2-] salt was characterized by X-ray diffraction, crystallizing in the monodinic space group Cc (No. 9) with a = 15.821 (4) angstrom, b = 15.168 (3) angstrom, c = 19.125 (5) angstrom, beta = 111.05 (2)-degrees, V = 4283 (2) angstrom3, and Z = 4. In the solid state the hydride anion has a distorted-trigonal-bipyramidal geometry in which the hydride ligand occupies an axial position with an Fe-H bond distance of 1.47 angstrom. One triphenyl phosphite ligand is cis to the hydride and has an Fe-P(eq) bond distance of 2.076 (1) angstrom, the other is trans with Fe-P(ax) = 2.083 (1) angstrom, and angle P(eq)-Fe-P(ax) is 103.2 (1)-degrees. Analysis of the nu(CO) infrared and H-1 NMR results imply that in solution the isomer in which both phosphite ligands are cis to the hydride predominates as the ground-state structure. The alkali-metal cations Na+ and K+ form contact ion pairs with [HFe(CO)2(P(OPh)3)2-], specifically interacting with the carbonyl oxygens of both CO ligands simultaneously. The [HFe(CO)2(P(OPh)3)2-] anion reacts with PhSSPh to yield [Et4N+][(PhS)Fe(CO)2(P(OPh)3)2-] but is unreactive with MeSSMe and t-BuSS-t-Bu.
