EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 14 2008
Rocío A. Arteaga-Müller
Abstract Reduction of mono(cyclopentadienyl)niobium complexes [NbCpRCl4] [CpR = C5Me4H (1), C5H4SiMe2Cl (2), C5H4SiMe3 (3)] with Na/Hg in the presence of methyl methacrylate [MMA, CH2=C(Me)C(O)OMe (a)], methyl acrylate [MA, CH2=CHC(O)OMe (b)] and mesityl oxide [MO, CMe2=CHC(O)Me (c)] afforded the corresponding derivatives [NbCpRCl2(LL)] [CpR = C5Me4H, LL = MMA (1a); CpR = C5H4SiMe2Cl, LL = MMA (2a), MA (2b), MO (2c); CpR = C5H4SiMe3, LL = MMA (3a), MA (3b)] in variable yields depending on both the cyclopentadienyl and the ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The reactivity of these complexes was studied toward protic and Lewis acids. Addition of triflic acid TfOH (Tf = CF3SO2) to 3b gave the triflate complex [NbCpRCl2{(CH2)2C(O)OMe}(OTf)] [CpR = C5H4SiMe3 (4)]. The Lewis acids E(C6F5)3 (E = B, Al) reacted with complexes 2b and 3b to give the three-membered metallacyclic (or ,2 -enone) compounds [NbCpRCl2{,2 -CH2=CHC(OMe){O·E(C6F5)3}}] [CpR = C5H4SiMe2Cl, E = B (5), Al (6); CpR = C5H4SiMe3, E = B (7), Al (8)], which decomposed to the corresponding adducts MA·E(C6F5)3. The same reaction with the 2a and 3a derivatives only allowed the observation of the corresponding adducts MMA·E(C6F5)3. Complexes 2a,b and 3a,b reacted with CO with elimination of the acrylate compounds, MA and MMA, respectively, to give the carbonylniobium(III) compounds [NbCpRCl2(CO)2]2 [CpR = C5H4SiMe2Cl (9), C5H4SiMe3 (10)]. Analogous reactions with CNAr showed the elimination of the free MA and MMA compounds. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source]


Ring Closure of Alkoxycarbonyl(tetracarbonyl)pyruvoyliron Complexes into Metallalactones Induced by Nucleophilic Attack of Carbanions

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 7 2006
Patrice Cabon
Abstract The reaction of carbanions with the pyruvoyl-substituted iron complex [(CO)4Fe(CO2CH3){C(O)C(O)CH3}] (1) affords the anionic trifunctionalized metallalactones [(CO)3Fe{C(O)C(CH3)(CRR,R,)OC4(O)(Fe,C4)}(CO2CH3)], (3), whose formation results from the addition of the nucleophile to the , carbonyl of the pyruvoyl moiety, followed by attack of the oxygen of this , carbonyl on a terminal carbonyl ligand. These anionic lactones react, at low temperature, with HCl to give rise to the neutral lactones [(CO)4Fe{C(O)C(CH3)(CRR,R,)OC4(O)(Fe,C4)}] (2), which were previously obtained by addition of NuH nucleophiles to 1. Complex 3(3), whose lactonic ring formation has been performed using the diethyl malonate anion (R = R, = CO2C2H5; R, = H), and the dimethyl-substituted neutral lactone 2(1) (R = R, = R, = H) have been characterized by X-ray diffraction studies.

Diastereomeric Halfsandwich Rhenium Complexes Containing Hemilabile Phosphane Ligands

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 24 2004
Stefan Dilsky
Abstract The syntheses and some typical reactions of diastereomeric rhenium complexes [CpRe(NO)(CO){P(Ph)(R)(R,)}]BF4 (R = Me, Ph; R, = 2-C6H4OMe, CH2C4H3S, CH2C4H7O) (3a,e) are described. Reduction of the carbonyl ligand with NaBH4 in THF gave the corresponding methyl complexes [CpRe(NO){P(Ph)(R)(R,)}(CH3)] (4a,e). Acid treatment of the methyl complexes leads to liberation of methane and coordination of the additional donor site of the potentially bidentate phosphane ligand. Of the chelate complexes 5a,e, those with R, = 2-C6H4OMe (5a, d) decomposed in solution at room temperature. In donor solvents, the chelate ring opens giving the stable solvated complexes [CpRe(NO){P(Ph)(R)(R,)}](solvent)]BF4 (solvent = CH3CN, THF) (6b,e, 7d). The new compounds are thus suitable starting materials for the syntheses of diastereomeric rhenium complexes [CpRe(NO){P(Ph)(R)(R,)}(L)]BF4. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

EXAFS study of local atomic order about iodine in thyroxine, rat, human and sheep thyroids

JOURNAL OF SYNCHROTRON RADIATION, Issue 6 2008
B. R. Orton
Radioactive 125I emits short-range Auger electrons and represents a human health risk when incorporated in thyroglobulin of the thyroid. Quantitative evaluation of this risk can only be realised if local atomic order about iodine in the thyroid is known. Here, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) has been used to probe the local structure about iodine in pure thyroid hormone, thyroxine. These data are consistent with a model where iodine is bound to a single iodinated carbon ring linked to an oxygen atom, similar to a previously published model for monoiodotyrosine, a major iodinated residue in thyroglobulin. Several structural models for the local environment of iodine from rat, human and sheep have been tested and these data are found to be compatible with a slightly modified environment with respect to that found for thyroxine. The best-fit models include the following three components: (i) iodine covalently bonded to a tyrosine ring, as found for thyroxine; (ii) iodine bonded quasi-covalently to a carbonyl ligand in partially filled (50%) sites; (iii) partially filled sites (50,40%) of carbonyl ligands, with oxygen at van der Waals distances from iodine. Advantages of using Fourier-filtered EXAFS for complex crystal structures are discussed. [source]


Transmetalation Reactions from Fischer Carbene Complexes to Late Transition Metals: A DFT Study

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 35 2008
Israel Fernández Dr.
Abstract Transmetalation reactions from chromium(0) Fischer carbene complexes to late-transition-metal complexes (palladium(0), copper(I), and rhodium(I)) have been studied computationally by density functional theory. The computational data were compared with the available experimental data. In this study, the different reaction pathways involving the different metal atoms have been compared with each other in terms of their activation barriers and reaction energies. Although the reaction profiles for the transmetalation reactions to palladium and copper are quite similar, the computed energy values indicate that the process involving palladium as catalyst is more favorable than that involving copper. In contrast to these transformations, which occur via triangular heterobimetallic species, the transmetalation reaction to rhodium leads to a new heterobimetallic species in which a carbonyl ligand is also transferred from the Fischer carbene to the rhodium catalyst. Moreover, the structure and bonding situation of the so far elusive heterobimetallic complexes are briefly discussed. La reacción de transmetalación catalítica desde cromo(0) Fischer carbenos a metales de transición tardía (Pd0, CuIand RhI) se ha estudiado computacionalmente usando DFT. Los resultados computacionales se han comparado con los datos experimentales disponibles. Las barreras y las energías de reacción se han comparado en los caminos de reacción obtenidos para los metales considerados. Mientras que los perfiles de reacción para la transmetalación desde Cr a Pd o Cu son similares, los valores calculados indican que aquellos procesos que implican catalizadores de Pd son más favorables que los que implican Cu. En claro contraste con estas transformaciones, que ocurren a través de especies heterobimetálicas con geometría triangular, la reacción con Rh forma nuevas especies heterobimetálicas en las que se ha transferido un ligando carbonilo desde el complejo de Fischer al catalizador de Rh. Adicionalmente, se discute la estructura y la forma de enlace de éstos complejos heterobimetálicos no aislados hasta este momento. [source]

Crystallographic report: A synthetic precursor for hetero-binuclear metal complexes, [Ru(bpy)(dppy)2(CO)2](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2,-bipyridine, dppy = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine)

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2004
Dai Ooyama
Abstract In the title complex, [Ru(bpy)(dppy)2(CO)2](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2,-bipyridine, dppy = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine), the ruthenium atom exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination with the carbonyl ligands in cis positions. In addition, two dppy ligands coordinate to the ruthenium center through the phosphorus atoms in mutually trans positions and two pyridyl nitrogen atoms of the dppy direct toward two carbonyl ligands.

Iridium Metal Thin Films and Patterned IrO2 Nanowires Deposited Using Iridium(I) Carbonyl Precursors

CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION, Issue 7 2006
Y.-L. Chen
Abstract Highly volatile iridium(I) carbonyl complexes (1,5) with three anionic fluorinated chelates, namely ketoiminate, aminoalkoxide, or iminoalkoxide, have been synthesized and their physical properties relevant to CVD are evaluated. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) study on Ir(CO)2(amakNMe2) (3) confirms a square-planar geometry with two cis-orientated carbonyl ligands. Metallic iridium, polycrystalline IrO2 thin films, or even patterned IrO2 nanowires are deposited using Ir(CO)2(hfdaNnPr) (5) as the CVD precursor. A systematic investigation of the deposition of IrO2 nanowires is conducted, showing a close correlation of observed crystallite morphology with applied system pressure, underlying growth surface, and deposition temperature. Of particular importance, tilted and vertically aligned IrO2 nanowires are obtained on LiTaO3(012) and LiNbO3(100) surfaces under a pressure of 30,Torr of oxygen at 425,°C. The morphology and structural composition of the IrO2 are confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and XRD analyses. [source]
