Abstract
A systematic study on the reactivity of the triple-decker complex [(Cp'''Co)(2)(mu,eta(4):eta(4)-C7H8)] (A) (Cp'''=1,2,4-tritertbutyl-cyclopentadienyl) towards sandwich complexes containing cyclo-P-3, cyclo-P-4, and cyclo-P-5 ligands under mild conditions is presented. The heterobimetallic triple-decker sandwich complexes [(Cp*Fe)(Cp'''Co)(mu,eta(5):eta(4)-P-5)] (1) and [(Cp'''Co)(Cp'''Ni)(mu,eta(3):eta(3)-P-3)] (3) (Cp*=1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) were synthesized and fully characterized. In solution, these complexes exhibit a unique fluxional behavior, which was investigated by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy. The dynamic processes can be blocked by coordination to {W(CO)(5)} fragments, leading to the complexes [(Cp*Fe)(Cp'''Co)(mu(3),eta(5):eta(4):eta(1)-P-5){W(CO)(5)}] (2 a), [(Cp*Fe)(Cp'''Co)(mu(4),eta(5):eta(4):eta(1):eta(1)-P-5){(W(CO)(5))(2)}] (2 b), and [(Cp'''Co)(Cp'''Ni)(mu(3),eta(3):eta(2):eta(1)-P-3){W(CO)(5)}] (4), respectively. The thermolysis of 3 leads to the tetrahedrane complex [(Cp'''Ni)(2)(mu,eta(2):eta(2)-P-2)] (5). All compounds were fully characterized using single-crystal X-ray structure analysis, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.
