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)].more » « less

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.more » « less

null (Ed.)The green compound poly[(tetrahydrofuran)tris[μ-η 5 :η 5 -1-(trimethylsilyl)cyclopentadienyl]caesium(I)ytterbium(II)], [CsYb(C 8 H 13 Si) 3 (C 4 H 8 O)] n or [(THF)Cs(μ-η 5 :η 5 -Cp′) 3 Yb II ] n was synthesized by reduction of a red THF solution of (C 5 H 4 SiMe 3 ) 3 Yb III with excess Cs metal and identified by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes as a two-dimensional array of hexagons with alternating Cs I and Yb II ions at the vertices and cyclopentadienyl groups bridging each edge. This, based off the six-electron cyclopentadienyl rings occupying three coordination positions, gives a formally nine-coordinate tris(cyclopentadienyl) coordination environment to Yb and the Cs is ten-coordinate due to the three cyclopentadienyl rings and a coordinated molecule of THF. The complex comprises layers of Cs 3 Yb 3 hexagons with THF ligands and Me 3 Si groups in between the layers. The Yb—C metrical parameters are consistent with a 4 f 14 Yb II electron configuration.more » « less

Electrochemical measurements on tris(cyclopentadienyl)thorium and uranium compounds in the +2, +3, and +4 oxidation states are reported with C 5 H 3 (SiMe 3 ) 2 , C 5 H 4 SiMe 3 , and C 5 Me 4 H ligands. The reduction potentials for both U and Th complexes trend with the electron donating abilities of the cyclopentadienyl ligand. Thorium complexes have more negative An( iii )/An( ii ) reduction potentials than the uranium analogs. Electrochemical measurements of isolated Th( ii ) complexes indicated that the Th( iii )/Th( ii ) couple was surprisingly similar to the Th( iv )/Th( iii ) couple in Cp′′-ligated complexes. This suggested that Th( ii ) complexes could be prepared from Th( iv ) precursors and this was demonstrated synthetically by isolation of directly from UV-visible spectroelectrochemical measurements and reactions of with elemental barium indicated that the thorium system undergoes sequential one electron transformations.more » « less

The title complex, (1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane-1κ6
O )(μ-oxalato-1κ2O 1,O 2:2κ2O 1′,O 2′)triphenyl-2κ3C -potassium(I)tin(IV), [KSn(C6H5)3(C2O4)(C12H24O6)] or K[18-Crown-6][(C6H5)3SnO4C2], was synthesized. The complex consists of a potassium cation coordinated to the six oxygen atoms of a crown ether molecule and the two oxygen atoms of the oxalatotriphenylstannate anion. It crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system within the space groupP 21. The tin atom is coordinated by one chelating oxalate ligand and three phenyl groups, forming acis -trigonal–bipyramidal geometry around the tin atom. The cations and anions form ion pairs, linked through carbonyl coordination to the potassium atoms. The crystal structure features C—H...O hydrogen bonds between the oxygen atoms of the oxalate group and the hydrogen atoms of the phenyl groups, resulting in an infinite chain structure extending alonga -axis direction. The primary inter-chain interactions are van der Waals forces.
