Abstract
The phosphino‐stibine ligands (o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbR [R = o‐PPh2C6H4 (L1), Ph (L2), Cl (L3)] were incorporated into tungsten and molybdenum carbonyl complexes leading to the formation of cis‐[W(CO)4{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbR}] [R = o‐PPh2C6H4 (1), Ph (2), Cl (3)], fac‐[W(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}] (4), fac‐[W(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbCl}] (5), fac‐[(W(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2Sb})2] (6), fac‐[Mo(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbR}] [R = ...
Abstract
The phosphino‐stibine ligands (o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbR [R = o‐PPh2C6H4 (L1), Ph (L2), Cl (L3)] were incorporated into tungsten and molybdenum carbonyl complexes leading to the formation of cis‐[W(CO)4{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbR}] [R = o‐PPh2C6H4 (1), Ph (2), Cl (3)], fac‐[W(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}] (4), fac‐[W(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbCl}] (5), fac‐[(W(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2Sb})2] (6), fac‐[Mo(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2SbR}] [R = o‐PPh2C6H4 (7), Ph (8), Cl (9)]. Compounds 1 and 4 were allowed to react with MX salts with M = Cu, Ag, Au and X = Cl–, [PF6]–, respectively. These reactions yielded cis‐[W(CO)4{(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}{MCl}] [M = Cu (10), Ag (11)], cis‐[W(CO)4{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2Sb}{AuCl(o‐PPh2C6H4)}{AuCl}] (12) cis‐[(W(CO)4{(o‐PPh2C6H4)2Sb})2AuCl] (13), cis‐[W(CO)3(μ‐CO){(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}{Cu}][PF6] (14), cis‐[W(CO)4{(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}{AgMeCN}][PF6] (15), cis‐[W(CO)4{(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}{Au}][PF6] (16) cis‐[W(CO)2(μ‐CO){(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}{Cu2(μ‐Cl)2}] (17), fac‐[W(CO)3{(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}{AuCl}] (18), and fac‐[W(CO)2(μ‐CO){(o‐PPh2C6H4)3Sb}{ML}][PF6] [M = Cu, L = MeCN (19), M = Ag, L = MeCN (20), M = Au (21)]. Complexes 10–21 all show metal‐metal distances below the sum of the corresponding van der Waals radii. The proximity of the two metal centers is especially significant in 19–21, indicating the presence of metal‐metal bonding.
