Three cyclopentadienylmolybdenum(II) propionyl complexes featuring triarylphosphine ligands with different para substituents, namely, dicarbonyl(η 5 -cyclopentadienyl)propionyl(triphenylphosphane-κ P )molybdenum(II), [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(C 3 H 5 O)(C 18 H 15 P)(CO) 2 ], ( 1 ), dicarbonyl(η 5 -cyclopentadienyl)propionyl[tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphane-κ P ]molybdenum(II), [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(C 3 H 5 O)(C 18 H 12 F 3 P)(CO) 2 ], ( 2 ), and dicarbonyl(η 5 -cyclopentadienyl)propionyl[tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphane-κ P ]molybdenum(II) dichloromethane solvate, [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(C 3 H 5 O)(C 21 H 21 O 3 P)(CO) 2 ]·CH 2 Cl 2 , ( 3 ), have been prepared from the corresponding ethyl complexes via phosphine-induced migratory insertion. These complexes exhibit four-legged piano-stool geometries with molecular structures quite similar to each other and to related acetyl complexes. The extended structures of the three complexes differ somewhat, with the para substituent of the triarylphosphine of ( 2 ) (fluoro) or ( 3 ) (methoxy) engaging in non-classical C—H...F or C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The structure of ( 3 ) exhibits modest disorder in the position of one Cl atom of the dichloromethane solvent, which was modeled with two sites showing approximately equivalent occupancies [0.532 (15) and 0.478 (15)].

trans -Acetyldicarbonyl(η 5 -cyclopentadienyl)[tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphane-κ P ]molybdenum(II)
The title compound, [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(C 2 H 3 O)(C 24 H 27 P)(CO) 2 ], was prepared by reaction of [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(CO) 3 (CH 3 )] with tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphane. The complex exhibits a four-legged piano-stool geometry with trans -disposed acetyl and phosphane ligands. The molecular geometry is nearly identical to that of the triphenylphosphane derivative, but introduction of methyl groups on the aromatic phosphane substituents significantly impacts supramolecular organization. In the crystal, non-classical C—H...O interactions involving the acetyl carbonyl group lead to a chain motif along [010], and another set of C—H...O close contacts join inversion-related molecules.

null (Ed.)The title compounds, [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(COCH 3 )(C 6 H 12 N 3 P)(CO) 2 ], (1), and [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(COCH 3 )(C 9 H 16 N 3 O 2 P)(C 6 H 5 ) 2 ))(CO) 2 ], (2), have been prepared by phosphine-induced migratory insertion from [Mo(C 5 H 5 )(CO) 3 (CH 3 )]. The molecular structures of these complexes are quite similar, exhibiting a four-legged piano-stool geometry with trans -disposed carbonyl ligands. The extended structures of complexes (1) and (2) differ substantially. For complex (1), the molybdenum acetyl unit plays a dominant role in the organization of the extended structure, joining the molecules into centrosymmetrical dimers through C—H...O interactions with a cyclopentadienyl ligand of a neighboring molecule, and these dimers are linked into layers parallel to (100) by C—H...O interactions between the molybdenum acetyl and the cyclopentadienyl ligand of another neighbor. The extended structure of (2) is dominated by C—H...O interactions involving the carbonyl groups of the acetamide groups of the DAPTA ligand, which join the molecules into centrosymmetrical dimers and link them into chains along [010]. Additional C—H...O interactions between the molybdenum acetyl oxygen atom and an acetamide methyl group join the chains into layers parallel to (101).more » « less

Structural characterization of the ionic title complex, [MgBr(THF) 5 ][Co(dpbz) 2 ]·2THF [THF is tetrahydrofuran, C 4 H 8 O; dpbz is 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)benzene, C 30 H 24 P 2 ], revealed a well-separated cation and anion co-crystallized with two THF solvent molecules that interact with the cation via weak C—H...O contacts. The geometry about the cobalt center is pseudotetrahedral, as is expected for a d 10 metal center, only deviating from an ideal tetrahedral geometry because of the restrictive bite angles of the bidentate phosphane ligands. Three THF ligands of the cation and one co-crystallized THF solvent molecule are each disordered over two orientations. In the extended structure, the cations and THF solvent molecules are arranged in (100) sheets that alternate with layers of anions, the latter of which show various π-interactions, which may explain the particular packing arrangement.more » « less

Crystals of the title salt, (C8H20N)[Sn(C6H5)3(C2H2O2S)], comprise diisobutylammonium cations and mercaptoacetatotriphenylstannate(IV) anions. The bidentate binding mode of the mercaptoacetate ligand gives rise to a five-coordinated, ionic triphenyltin complex with a distorted
cis -trigonal–bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. In the crystal, charge-assisted ammonium-N—H...O(carboxylate) hydrogen-bonding connects two cations and two anions into a four-ion aggregate. Two positions were resolved for one of the phenyl rings with the major component having a site occupancy factor of 0.60 (3). -
Bis(benzene-1,2-diolato-κ 2 O , O ′)bis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κ O )titanium(IV), [Ti(C 6 H 4 O 2 ) 2 (C 2 H 6 OS) 2 ], crystallizes with two crystallographically independent molecules in the space group P 2 1 / c emulating orthorhombic Pbca symmetry (β = 90.0445 (9)°]. The two molecules are related by pseudo-glide symmetry, broken by modulation of each one catecholate and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) ligand. Twinning by pseudomerohedry was observed [twin ratio 0.5499 (7):0.4401 (7)]. Complex 3 was obtained by heating of diprotonated titanium tris-catecholate precursor 2 H in DMSO, by formal displacement of a catechol molecule by two DMSO molecules. Complex 3 is just the second heteroleptic, mono-nuclear, neutral bis-catecholate complex with TiO 6 metal coordination, the only other one being its bis-DMF analogue 6 . The two molecules of 3 exhibit a distorted octahedral geometry. The geometry and distortions from ideal symmetry of 3 are discussed and compared to 6 and to cationic tris-catecholate titanium complexes.more » « less
