Synthesis and studies on transition metal complexes incorporating thioether, selenoether and phosphine ligands

The thioether and selenoether ligands MeE(CH2)nEMe (E = S, Se; n = 2, 3), PhE(CH2)2EPh and o-C6H4(EMe)2 (L-L) have been reacted with [Mn(CO)5X] (X = Cl, Br, I) to yield [MnX(CO)3(L-L)]. Characterisation of the complexes has been achieved using multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C{1H}, 55Mn and 77Se{1H}) and IR spectroscopies, FAB mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and, in some cases, single crystal X-ray diffraction. 55Mn NMR spectroscopic studies have enabled an δ (55Mn) range to be established; for E = S, δ (55Mn) = +67 to -567; for E = Se, δ(55Mn) = -175 to -702. These trends are discussed in terms of E → Mn bonding. In some cases pyramidal inversion was slow and distinct resonances were observed due to the presence of individual invertomers, meso-1, meso-2, and DL. The crystal structures of [MnBr(CO)3{PhS(CH2)2SPh}], [MnCl(CO)3{MeSe(CH2)3SeMe}] and [MnBr(CO)3{o-C6H4(SeMe)2}] all show a fac-tricarbonyl arrangement with a chelating ligand. The dimeric species [Mn2(CO)6(μ-Br)2(μ-MeSCH2SMe)] has also been isolated and structurally characterised.

The syntheses and characterisation of a series of Mn(I) cationic derivatives [Mn(CO)3(L)]+ have been investigated, where L = [9]aneS3, [10]anS3, MeS(CH2)2S(CH2)2SMe, MeSe(CH2)3Se(CH2)3SeMe, Ph2P(CH2)2PPh(CH2)2PPh2 and MeC(CH2PPh2)3. 55Mn NMR spectroscopic studies have allowed a comparison to be made with previous data.

Abstract

The thioether and selenoether ligands MeE(CH2)nEMe (E = S, Se; n = 2, 3), PhE(CH2)2EPh and o-C6H4(EMe)2 (L-L) have been reacted with [Mn(CO)5X] (X = Cl, Br, I) to yield [MnX(CO)3(L-L)]. Characterisation of the complexes has been achieved using multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C{1H}, 55Mn and 77Se{1H}) and IR spectroscopies, FAB mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and, in some cases, single crystal X-ray diffraction. 55Mn NMR spectroscopic studies have enabled an δ (55Mn) range to be established; for E = S, δ (55Mn) = +67 to -567; for E = Se, δ(55Mn) = -175 to -702. These trends are discussed in terms of E → Mn bonding. In some cases pyramidal inversion was slow and distinct resonances were observed due to the presence of individual invertomers, meso-1, meso-2, and DL. The crystal structures of [MnBr(CO)3{PhS(CH2)2SPh}], [MnCl(CO)3{MeSe(CH2)3SeMe}] and [MnBr(CO)3{o-C6H4(SeMe)2}] all show a fac-tricarbonyl arrangement with a chelating ligand. The dimeric species [Mn2(CO)6(μ-Br)2(μ-MeSCH2SMe)] has also been isolated and structurally characterised.

The syntheses and characterisation of a series of Mn(I) cationic derivatives [Mn(CO)3(L)]+ have been investigated, where L = [9]aneS3, [10]anS3, MeS(CH2)2S(CH2)2SMe, MeSe(CH2)3Se(CH2)3SeMe, Ph2P(CH2)2PPh(CH2)2PPh2 and MeC(CH2PPh2)3. 55Mn NMR spectroscopic studies have allowed a comparison to be made with previous data. Single crystal X-ray studies were undertaken for [Mn(CO)3([10]aneS3)]+, [Mn(CO)3{MeS(CH2)2S(CH2)2SMe}]+ and [Mn(CO)3{MeC(CH2PPh2)3}]+.
