Carbonyl complexes, chromium molybdenum

Complexes (191) and (192) are formed from dimethyldiazirine with carbonyls of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten. They show no tendency towards N—N cleavage (80JOM(193)57). Complex (193) is made from a mixed complex by displacement of norbor-nadiene. 

Methyl-3,5-diphenyl-l//-thiopyran 1-oxide forms red air-stable complexes with carbonyls of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten. (78CB1709). X-Ray diffraction measurements on these compounds confirm the non-planarity of the thiabenzene oxide nucleus and reinforce the evidence for high inversion barriers at sulfur. These complexes are found in isomeric forms with either the sulfur-oxygen bond axial to the half-chair conformation adopted by the ring, or the S- methyl group axial the complexes cannot be interconverted. 

Reaction of 1 with the metal carbonyls of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten in dimethylformamide (DMF) gives air-stable, binuclear complexes of t5q>e [(COlsMLMCCOls] (9). These proved to be useful starting species for generating (via oxidative decarbonylation reac-... 

The neutral complexes of chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and vanadium are six-coordinate and the CO molecules are arranged about the metal in an octahedral configuration as shown in stmcture (3). Vanadium carbonyl possesses an unpaired electron and would be expected to form a metal—metal bond. Steric hindrance may prevent dimerization. The other hexacarbonyls are diamagnetic. 

Many carbonyl and carbonyl metallate complexes of the second and third row, in low oxidation states, are basic in nature and, for this reason, adequate intermediates for the formation of metal— metal bonds of a donor-acceptor nature. Furthermore, the structural similarity and isolobal relationship between the proton and group 11 cations has lead to the synthesis of a high number of cluster complexes with silver—metal bonds.1534"1535 Thus, silver(I) binds to ruthenium,15 1556 osmium,1557-1560 rhodium,1561,1562 iron,1563-1572 cobalt,1573 chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten,1574-1576 rhe-nium, niobium or tantalum, or nickel. Some examples are shown in Figure 17. 

Sulfoxide adducts of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten carbonyls have been studied as catalysts for the polymerization of monomers such as vinyl chloride (248). Simple adducts of the type [M(CO)5(Me2SO)] may be prepared by carbonyl displacement from the corresponding hexacarbonyl. Photochemical reactions are frequently necessary to cause carbonyl displacement in this manner, many carbonyl complexes of higher sulfoxides have been prepared (255, 256). Infrared (257) and mass spectral studies (154) of these complexes have appeared, and infrared data suggest that S-bonding may occur in Cr(0) sulfoxide complexes, although definitive studies have not been reported. 

Transition metal complexes which react with diazoalkanes to yield carbene complexes can be catalysts for diazodecomposition (see Section 4.1). In addition to the requirements mentioned above (free coordination site, electrophi-licity), transition metal complexes can catalyze the decomposition of diazoalkanes if the corresponding carbene complexes are capable of transferring the carbene fragment to a substrate with simultaneous regeneration of the original complex. Metal carbonyls of chromium, iron, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, and tungsten all catalyze the decomposition of diazomethane [493]. Other related catalysts are (CO)5W=C(OMe)Ph [509], [Cp(CO)2Fe(THF)][BF4] [510,511], and (CO)5Cr(COD) [52,512]. These compounds are sufficiently electrophilic to catalyze the decomposition of weakly nucleophilic, acceptor-substituted diazoalkanes. 

In a three-component reaction, a cationic platinum isocyanide complex [(Ph3P)2Pt(CNR)Cl][BF4] is reacted with a /3-bromoamine and butyl lithium to give an imidazoldin-2-ylidene complex.This transformation can be a two-component reaction if the isocyanide ligand contains already the necessary amine functionality. This was shown for chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and rhenium carbonyls.

Subsequent to the initial work outlined above, high field H and 13C NMR studies of 11 and model compounds supported the original suggestion for its structure80-83. In terms of model compounds one of the key approaches taken was to use the metal carbonyl complexes of the homotropenylium ion system. Thus the molybdenum, 12, chromium, 13, and... 

Complexation of 100 with carbonyl complexes of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten yielded liquid crystalline complexes lOla-c [114] (Scheme 50). All derivatives 101 melted at similar temperatures into the columnar rectangular mesophase (deduced from WAXS and SAXS measurements). However, the clearing points were strongly dependent on the metal center and increased with increasing atom number. Upon complexation, the aza crown macrocycle loses its flexibility, with the metal carbonyl fragment located above the crown leading to a cone-shaped...

In 1980 we published a survey (1) of our major results in this area as of late 1979. These results include extensive work on binuclear CF N PF complexes of cobalt (2,3,4,5) and nickel (6). This paper summarizes our more recent results in this area with particular emphasis on binuclear complexes of chromium, molybdenum, and tungsten as well as some new results on iron carbonyl derivatives.
