X-ray crystallographic studies of three transition metal complexes incorporating the novel anionic tridentate chelating ligand [Me2Ga(N2C5H7)OCH2CH2SR]− (R = Et or Ph) show that the ligand is facially coordinated in each case. Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl) (2-thioethoxyethoxy)gallato(N(2), O,S)]nitrosylnickel(I) are monoclinic, a = 8.8313(4), b = 7.2402(2), c = 26.539(1) Å, β = 94.390(3)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c, R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.050 for 2489 reflections. The Ni atom is in a distorted tetrahedral environment with bond angles about Ni ranging from 87.90(7) to 127.9(1)°. The nitrosyl coordination is slightly non-linear with Ni—N—O = 170.1(4)°. Important bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: Ni—S, 2.326(1), Ni—O, 2.019(2), Ni—N(pyrazolyl), 1.980(3), Ni—N(O), 1.633(3) and N—O, 1.156(4) Å. Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl) (2-thiophenoxyethoxy)gallato(N(2),O,S)]tricarbonylmanganese(I) are triclinic, a = 9.4911(5), b = 10.4323(6), c = 11.7618(7) Å, α = 86.17(1), β = 69.547(5), γ = 81.402(4)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]R = 0.029 and Rw = 0.035 for 2496 reflections. The Mn atom is coordinated to the fac-tridentate gallate ligand and to three carbonyl ligands resulting in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. Important corrected bond lengths are: Mn—S, 2.397(1), Mn—O, 2.055(2), Mn—N, 2.082(3), and Mn—C, 1.794(4), 1.807(4), and 1.807(4) Å. Crystals of [dimethyl(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl) (2-thioethoxyethoxy)gallato(N(2),O,S)](η3-cycloheptatrienyl)dicarbonylmolybdenum are monoclinic, a = 17.030(3), b = 19.097(2), c = 15.908(3) Å, β = 115.99(1)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n R =0.036 and Rw = 0.043 for 4477 reflections. The two crystallographically independent molecules differ primarily in the orientation of the S-ethyl moiety and each contains an η3-C7H7 ligand which occupies one coordination site of a distorted octahedron as a %-donating ligand. Important corrected bond distances are: Mo—S, 2.527(2) and 2.541(2), Mo—O, 2.241(5) and 2.237(4), Mo—N, 2.277(5) and 2.254(5), Mo—C(O), 1.940(7)–1.960(7), and Mo—C(C7H7), 2.198(6)−2.391(7) Å.

Details of the synthesis and physical properties of octahedral transition metal complexes of the tridentate tris chelating ligand [Me2Ga(OCH2CH2NH2)(N2C3H3)]− are given. Crystals of sym-fac-bis[dimethyl(ethanolamino)(1-pyrazolyl)gallato(N(2),O,N]nickel(II) are monoclinic, a = 11.7908(6), b = 7.3158(6), c = 12.5797(8), β = 97.035(7)°, Z = 2, space group P21/n and crystals of the mer isomer are monoclinic, a = 18.6617(7), b = 8.7941(4), c = 13.5670(8), β = 91,766(4)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The structures were solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.048 and 0.052 for 1881 and 2573 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) for the fac and mer isomers respectively. The nickel atoms in both structures were found to have distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: Ni—O, 2.090(3); Ni—N, 2.085(3) and 2.112(3); Ga—O, 1.908(3); Ga—N, 2.010(3); and Ga—C, 1.979(5) and 1.981(6) Å for the fac isomer, and Ni—O, 2.045(4) and 2.049(4); Ni—N, 2.091 (4)-2.156(5); Ga—O, 1.898(4) and 1.899(4); Ga—N, two at 1.991 (5); and Ga—C, 1.948(8)-1.971 (7) Å for the mer isomer.

Abstract A nickel(II) complex with (bbimae) (= 2-[bis(benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl)amino]ethanol), [Ni(bbimae)(NCS)2] · H2O (1) and an oxovanadium(IV) complex, [VO(bbimae)(NCS)2] · dma (dma = N.N-dimethylacetamide) (2) have been prepared and their crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction. Crystal data for 1 at 293 K: a = 13.334(2). b = 17.048(2), c = 10.3829(9) Å, space group P212121, Z = 4, and dcalcd = 1.41 gcm-3. Crystal data for 2 at 293 K: a = 14.099(2). b = 14.998(4), c = 14.051(2) Å, β = 107.634(9)°, space group P21/c, Z = 4, and dcalcd = 1.36 gcm-3. In the nickel(II) complex, (bbimae) functions as a tetradentate ligand, and the geometry around Ni(II) ion is best described as distorted octahedral. The structure is very similar to those of the correspond­ing Co(II) and Mn(II) complexes. In the case of 2, which is also distorted octahedral, (bbimae) is a tridentate ligand without the coordination of the alcohol group. The M-N (benzimidazole) distances are in the range of 1.95-2.18 Å, and also observed for other first-row transition metal complexes with (bbimae). and differ in the order V(IV) < Mn(II) > Co(II) > Ni(II) > Cu(II). consistent with effective ionic radii of the metal ions. Comparison of the structural parameters of these complexes with those of the metal ions in biological systems has supported the usefulness of the tripod-like ligands to synthesis model compounds for biological systems.

Due to the rigid structure of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), its 31P chemical shift solely depends on non-covalent interactions in which the molecule is involved. The maximum range of change caused by the most common of these, hydrogen bonding, is only 6 ppm, because the active site is one of the PTA nitrogen atoms. In contrast, when the PTA phosphorus atom is coordinated to a metal, the range of change exceeds 100 ppm. This feature can be used to support or reject specific structural models of organometallic transition metal complexes in solution by comparing the experimental and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculated values of this 31P chemical shift. This approach has been tested on a variety of the metals of groups 8–12 and molecular structures. General recommendations for appropriate basis sets are reported.

Under exclusion of air the thioether and thiol complexes [Ru(SRR′)(PPh3)′S4′] (′S4′2- = 1,2-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)ethane (2—)) easily react with CHCl3 yielding [Ru(Cl)(PPh3)(′S4′—CHCl2)] in which one thiolato atom of the ′S4′ ligand is diastereospecifically dichloromethylated. In the presence of air, however, [RuIII(Cl)(PPh3)′S4′] is formed.The molecular structures of [Ru(Cl)(PPh3)(′S4′-CHCl2)] · 2CHCl3 and [RuIII(Cl)(PPh3)′buS4′] have been determined by X-ray crystallography. ′buS4′2- (= 1,2-bis(3,5-di(t-butyl)-2-mercaptophenylthio)ethane(2-)) is the t-butyl derivative of the ′S4′ ligand. Reasons for observed diastereospecifity of alkylation are discussed.

Abstract The addition reactions of N,N′-bis(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine (1) with [(cod)2Ni] and [(Ph3P)AuCl] yield yellow [(1)Ni(η4-cod)] (2) and colorless [(1)(Ph3P)AuCl]·3MeOH (3), respectively. In these transition metal complexes of nickel(0) and gold(I) 1 acts as a bidentate chelating ligand. Crystal structures of [(1)Ni(η4-cod)]·3THF (2a) and of cosolvent-free [(1)Ni(η4-cod)] (2) reveal a distorted tetrahedral environment of the nickel atom. The gold(I) atom in 3 exhibits a very long Au-Cl bond of 296.2(1) pm. In contrast to the nickel complexes, compound 3 shows strong agostic interactions between gold(I) and a methylene fragment.
