Carbonyl exchange metal complexes

Trifluorophosphine and carbon monoxide readily undergo ligand-exchange reactions in their transition metal complexes. The close similarity in bonding characteristics of the two ligands toward transition metals has been discussed extensively in several review articles (72,174,272) and the evidence will not be repeated here. Extensive vibrational spectroscopic studies have been made on mixed carbonyl-PF3 metal complexes (72,174) and force constant calculations have been carried out in some cases. 

Anionic metal complexes, for example [Rh(CO)2l2], can be exchanged onto the anion-exchange resin Dowex 1-X8. The supported rhodium carbonyl iodide complex functions as an immobilized methanol Carbonylation catalyst. Metal complexes of the water-soluble phosphine TPPTS and its monosulfonated analog have also been exchanged onto anion-exchange resins. The pendant sulfonate groups provide the electrostatic attraction to the support.

A number of studies have been carried out on the ligand reactivities of the metal complexes of Schiff bases derived from amino acid esters and carbonyl compounds. Ester exchange reactions were first reported by Pfeiffer et a/.492 and extended by other investigators.493 496... 

Among other metal sources, the carbonyls should be emphasized [Sec. 3.1.1.2 for example, Scheme (3.56)] and other metal complexes (Sec. 3.2.1), in particular chelates [Schemes (3.112) (3.116)]. In the majority of cases with M(CO) use, an exchange of CO groups to other ligands takes place such reactions will be discussed in Sec. 3.2.1. 

Several other tetranuclear complexes containing different metals have been obtained from the reaction between metal carbonyl and metal trifluorophosphine complexes (method E) or by intermolecular ligand-exchange reactions (method F) between tetranuclear complexes. The following structures have been proposed on the basis of 19F NMR and mass spectroscopic studies. 

The reaction occurs well below the temperature at which most of the parent metal carbonyls exchange with free CO and so is a direct nucleophilic attack on coordinated CO, although it may alternatively proceed via a prior electron path. The resulting acyl anions can be isolated as their [R4N] " or [ (C6H5)3P 2N] salts but are reactive and are used directly in subsequent alkylations with organic halides, acetylenes, a-/i-unsaturated carbonyls and alkyloxonium salts to form organic condensation products or metal-carbene complexes.
