Synthesis and properties of Rh(I) and Ir(I) distibine complexes with organometallic co-ligands
The first series of Rh(I) distibine complexes with organometallic co-ligands is described, including the five-coordinate [Rh(cod)(distibine)Cl], the 16-electron planar cations [Rh(cod)(distibine)] BF4 and [Rh{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)] BF4 and the five-coordinate [Rh(CO)(distibine)(2)][Rh(CO)(2)Cl-2] (distibine = R2Sb(CH2)(3)SbR2, R = Ph or Me, and o-C6H4(CH2SbMe2)(2)). The corresponding Ir(I) species [Ir( cod)(distibine)] BF4 and [Ir{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}2] BF4 have also been prepared. The complexes have been characterised by H-1 and C-13{H-1} NMR and IR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry and microanalysis. The crystal structure of the anion exchanged [Rh(CO){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)]PF6 center dot 3/4CH(2)Cl(2) is also described. The methyl-substituted distibine complexes are less stable than the complexes of Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2, with C-Sb fission occurring in some of the complexes of the former. The salts [Rh(CO){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)]PF6 and [Rh{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}2] BF4 undergo oxidative addition with Br-2 to give the known [RhBr2{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)](+), while using HCl gives the same hydride complex from both precursors, which is tentatively assigned as [RhHCl2{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}]. An unexpected further Rh(III) product from this reaction, trans-[RhCl2{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}{PhClSb(CH2)(3)SbClPh}]Cl, was identified by a crystal structure analysis and represents the first structurally characterised example of a chlorostibine coordinated to a metal. [Rh{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)] BF4 reacts with CO to give [Rh(CO){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)]BF4 initially, and upon further exposure this species undergoes further reversible carbonylation to give a cis-dicarbonyl species thought to be [Rh(CO)(2){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}{kappa Sb-1-Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}]BF4 which converts back to the monocarbonyl complex when the CO atmosphere is replaced with N-2.

Abstract

The first series of Rh(I) distibine complexes with organometallic co-ligands is described, including the five-coordinate [Rh(cod)(distibine)Cl], the 16-electron planar cations [Rh(cod)(distibine)] BF4 and [Rh{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)] BF4 and the five-coordinate [Rh(CO)(distibine)(2)][Rh(CO)(2)Cl-2] (distibine = R2Sb(CH2)(3)SbR2, R = Ph or Me, and o-C6H4(CH2SbMe2)(2)). The corresponding Ir(I) species [Ir( cod)(distibine)] BF4 and [Ir{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}2] BF4 have also been prepared. The complexes have been characterised by H-1 and C-13{H-1} NMR and IR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry and microanalysis. The crystal structure of the anion exchanged [Rh(CO){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)]PF6 center dot 3/4CH(2)Cl(2) is also described. The methyl-substituted distibine complexes are less stable than the complexes of Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2, with C-Sb fission occurring in some of the complexes of the former. The salts [Rh(CO){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)]PF6 and [Rh{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}2] BF4 undergo oxidative addition with Br-2 to give the known [RhBr2{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)](+), while using HCl gives the same hydride complex from both precursors, which is tentatively assigned as [RhHCl2{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}]. An unexpected further Rh(III) product from this reaction, trans-[RhCl2{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}{PhClSb(CH2)(3)SbClPh}]Cl, was identified by a crystal structure analysis and represents the first structurally characterised example of a chlorostibine coordinated to a metal. [Rh{Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)] BF4 reacts with CO to give [Rh(CO){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}(2)]BF4 initially, and upon further exposure this species undergoes further reversible carbonylation to give a cis-dicarbonyl species thought to be [Rh(CO)(2){Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}{kappa Sb-1-Ph2Sb(CH2)(3)SbPh2}]BF4 which converts back to the monocarbonyl complex when the CO atmosphere is replaced with N-2.
