Transition multinuclear complexes

The reaction of bis(silanethiolato) complexes of group 10 metals with transition metal complexes gives the corresponding multinuclear complexes accompanied by the elimination of the silyl chloride (Scheme 14).117,118...

A large number of boratabenzene transition-metal complexes have been described. For instance, the multinuclear complex (141) has been obtained through the original Herberich route from cobaltocene with FcBBr2 (equation 37). Notably, a rhodium complex has recently been reported to be useful in C-H activation catalysis. ... 

In multinuclear complexes, NO can act as a bridging ligand, bridging two (63) or three metal atoms (64). NO has one electron more than CO, therefore the atomic number of the metal centers of NO complexes are lower than in similar CO complexes see Carbonyl Complexes of the Transition Metals), for example, Ni(CO)4, Co(CO)3NO, Fe(CO)2(NO)2, Mn(CO)(NO)3, and Cr(NO)4. For more information on nitrosyl complexes, see Reference 87. 

Condensation of organosilanols with transition metal halides is well established [3], but comparable reactions of metallo-silanols, which should provide a convenient entrance into the field of siloxy-bridged multinuclear complexes, has not been realized. In this context we have carried out the reaction of ferrio- and tungsten-silanols L,M-SiMe20H (L M = Cp(OC)2Fe (1) CsR5(OC)2(Me3P)W, R = H (5a), Me(5b)) with the electron deficient metal halides CpnMCh (w = 2, M = Ti, Zr n = 1, M = Ti). 

The aromatic moiety in phenylboranes and phenylb-orates may serve as a 6-electron tt donor ligand to transition-metal complexes. Half-sandwich complexes of chromium, Mes2[B( -Mes)Cr(CO)3] (56), MesB[jj -MesCr(CO)3]2 (57), and B[ -MesCr(CO)3]3 (58), containing trimesitylborane as a ligand have been prepared and structurally characterized. The Cr(CO)3 moieties interact weakly in the multinuclear systems (57) and (58) as shown by... 

The first example of a transition metal complex containing a y-tbp lO-P-4 phosphorus centre (120) results from the reaction of (118) with (119). X-ray crystallography reveals that all four ADPO units have y-tbp phosphorus centres and multinuclear n.m.r. in solution is consistent with this structure. ...

In contrast to the vast number of mono- and multinuclear binary carbonyl complexes of the transition metals, no isolable binary carbonyls of titanium, zirconium, or hafnium have been reported.
