Abstract
The complexes [AgL4]BF4 (L = SbMe3, SbEt3, SbMe2Ph, SbMePh2, SbPh3, AsPh3, PPh3, SbMe2(o-C6H4Br)), [Ag{L-L}2]BF4 (L-L = R2SbCH2SbR2, R2Sb(CH2)3SbR2 where R = Me or Ph), [CuL4]PF6 (L = SbMe2(o-C6H4Br), SbMe2Ph, SbMePh2), [Cu(R2SbCH2SbR2)2]PF6 (R = Me or Ph) and [Cu{o-C6H4(SbMe2)2}2]PF6 were prepared by the reaction of anhydrous AgBF4 or [Cu(MeCN)4]PF6 with the appropriate ligand. The structure of [Ag(SbPh3)4]BF4 has been established by X-ray crystallography and found to consist of discrete cations containing the tetrahedrally coordinated silver ion (d(Ag-Sb) = 2.7200(6) - 2.7297(6) Å). Variable temperature 63Cu and 109Ag NMR studies indicate that the complexes undergo dynamic exchange processes in solution, with [M(L)4]+ and [M(L-L)2]+ (M = Ag, Cu) as the major species present.
Rhodium(III) distibine complexes trans-(Rh(L-L)2X2]Y (L-L = Ph2Sb(CH2)3SbPh2 or o-C6H4(SbMe2)2; Y = X or BF4) and [Rh(MeC(CH2AsMe2)3)X3] (X = Cl, Br or I) have been prepared and studied by UV-Vis, 1H and 103Rh NMR spectroscopies and electrospray mass spectrometry. The 103Rh NMR spectroscopic data are reported and compared with data on related phosphine and arsine complexes. The single crystal X-ray structures of trans- [Rh(Ph2Sb(CH2)3SbPh2)2Cl2]ClO4, trans-[Rh{o-C6H4(AsMe2)2}2I2]BF4, trans-[Rh{o-C6H4(PMe2)2}2Cl2]Cl and [Rh{o-C6H4(PMe2)2}2(OH2)2]Cl3 have been obtained.
Complexes of the distibinomethane ligands, Ph2SbCH2SbPh2 (dpsm) or Me2SbCH2SbMe2 (dmsm) with iron, cobalt, manganese, nickel, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten carbonyls have been synthesised and show a variety of structures and bonding modes. The complexes have been characterised by analysis, IR and multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C{1H}, 55Mn, 59Co or 95Mo) spectroscopy and FAB mass spectrometry.
