The tricarbonyl anions of Cr, Mo, and W incorporating unsymmetrical tridentate chelating pyrazolyl gallate ligands, [Me2Ga(N2C5H7)(OCH2CH2X)]M(CO)3−, have been isolated as their crystalline Et4N+ salts. 1H nmr and solution infrared studies indicate that the octahedral anions display a facial arrangement of the gallate ligand and the three carbonyl groups. This stereochemistry has been proven definitively for the tungsten complex with X = NMe2 by an X-ray structure determination (see below). Fluxional behavior for the anions in d6-acetone solution has been demonstrated by variable temperature 1H nmr studies and is compared to similar behavior displayed by the neutral molybdenum "allyl" complex, [Me2Ga(N2C3H3)(OCH2CH2NMe2)]Mo(CO)2(η3-C4H7). Crystals of tetraethylammonium [dimethyl(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)(2-N,N-dimethylaminoethoxy)gallato-N2,N3,O]tricarbonyltungstate are orthorhombic, a = 11.312(9), b = 33.111(9), c = 7.445(6) Å, Z = 4, space group P212121. The structure was solved by conventional heavy atom methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.033 and Rw = 0.034 for 2508 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The [Me2Ga(N2C5H7)(OCH2CH2NMe2)]W(CO)3− anion has fac-octahedral coordination geometry with W—O = 2.228(7), W—N(pyrazolyl) = 2.299(8), W—N(amine) = 2.37(1), and W—CO = 1.91 (1)–1.92(1) Å. Keywords: pyrazolyl-gallate complexes, fluxional behavior of Ga–W complexes, crystal structure of Ga–W complex, gallate–tungsten complexes.

The synthesis and characterization of a number of Ir(I) complexes incorporating bidentate, chelating, pyrazolylgallate ligands are described. Non-rigidity for some of the complexes in solution has been demonstrated by variable temperature 1H nmr studies. Crystal structures of three complexes, [Me2Gapz2]Ir(COD), [Ir(μ-pz)(CO)2]2, and [Ir(μ-3,5-Me2pz)(CO)2]2 are reported and confirm the expected boat conformations for the six-membered M—(N—N)2—Ir rings (where M = Ir or Ga) in the compounds. One of the complexes studied has exhibited measurable activity as a catalyst in the hydrogenation reaction of cyclohexene.

The crystal structure of cis-chlorobis(triethylphosphine)-1,8-naphthyridineplatinum(II) tetrafluoroborate has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to an R-value of 0.063. The cell dimensions are a = 1.4246, b = 1.2676, c = 1.6530 nm, β = 115.66°. The space group is P21/c with 4 molecules per unit cell, and the measured density is 1.665 g cm−3. The structure is essentially a 4-coordinate square planar platinum(II) complex containing monodentate 1,8-naphthyridine. Interatomic distances to platinum are: Pt—Cl, 236.6(4); Pt—P(1), 225.4(4); Pt—P(2), 225.2(4); Pt—N(1), 208.3(11); and Pt—N(2), 304.5(14) pm. The structure is discussed in relation to variable temperature nmr studies of solutions, which indicate fluxional behaviour of the heterocyclic ligand.

The synthesis of [Ln{N(SiMe3)2}2(THF)(µ-Cl)]2 (Ln = Ce, 1; Nd, 2) by reaction of sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (2 equiv.) with LnCl3 is reported. The same complexes were also isolated from the ligand redistribution reactions of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 and LnCl3 (2:1 ratio) in THF at 80°C. The crystal structure of 2, determined by X-ray diffraction, revealed a centrosymmetric dimer with bridging chlorides and pentacoordinate metal centres. 1H NMR studies show that the solid state structure is not maintained in solution. NMR evidence for the presence of Ln[N(SiMe3)2]3 and two other bis(trimethylsilyl)amide containing species, presumably Ln[N(SiMe3)2]Cl2(THF)x and Ln[N(SiMe3)2]2Cl(THF)y, is presented.Key words: lanthanide, amide, neodymium, cerium, crystal structure, X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance, redistribution.

3-Ferrocenyl-2,4,5-tri-(β-naphthyl)cyclopentadienone undergoes a Diels–Alder reaction with di-(β-naphthyl) acetylene to yield, after elimination of carbon monoxide, ferrocenyl-penta-(β-naphthyl)benzene (4). 1H and 13C variable-temperature NMR studies on 4 reveal the existence of multiple diastereoisomers at low temperature. These data are interpreted in terms of slowed rotation of the naphthyl groups, and are supported by the X-ray crystal structure of 4, which exhibits disorder at three of the naphthyl sites.Key words: sterically crowded molecules, hindered rotations, crystallography, NMR.

AbstractThe crystal structure of (CH3)4NTlCl4 and (C2H5)4NTlCl4 was determined at room temperature by single crystal technique. (CH3)4NTlCl4: D2h17-Cmmm; Z = 2; a = 913.2pm, b = 894.6 pm, c = 752.5 pm; (C2H5)4NTlCl4: C6v4-P63mc; Z = 2; a = 827.9 pm, c = 1329.8 pm. (C2H5)4NTlCl4 is isomorphous with (C2H5)4NInCl4. The compounds undergoe a phase transition at 239 K and 222 K, respectively. For both compounds no35 Cl NQR signal was observable in the high temperature phase I due to the dynamics of the anion. The 35 Cl NQR was studied in the low temperature phase II of both compounds as a function of temperature. (CH3)4NTlCl4 shows a two line, (C2H5)4NTlCl4 a four line spectrum. The possible phase II structures and the dynamics of the cation, studied by 1H-NMR, are discussed

The intramolecular frustrated P/B Lewis pair Mes2PCH2CH2B(C6F5)2 (7) reacts readily with phenylsilane by heterolytic cleavage of the Si-H bond to give the zwitterion [Mes2(PhH2Si)P+CH2CH2B-H(C6F5)2] (8a), which has been fully characterized and its structure confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis. Variable-temperature NMR studies revealed that the reaction is reversible. Adduct 8a is the predominant species (ca. 98%) in CD2Cl2 solution at low temperature (193 K), whereas at ambient temperature (299 K) it exists in a ca. 7 : 3 equilibrium with unreacted 7 and PhSiH3. Diphenylsilane reacted similarly with the frustrated Lewis pair 7, however, the equilibrium was found to favor the starting materials in the investigated temperature range.

Bis(μ-t-butylacetato)bis(norbornadiene)dirhodium(I) 1 is prepared by a reaction between pivaloyl camphor and (norbornadiene)rhodium(I) chloride dimer. A molecular rearrangement takes place in which the pivaloyl groups of the pivaloyl camphor starting material are incorporated into the end product as bridging t-butylcarboxylate ligands. A variable temperature 1H NMR study and corresponding dynamic computer fit of the NMR data, and crystal structure are reported for the structurally nonrigid dimer. Crystals of 1 are triclinic, a = 10.454(1), b = 10.817(1), c = 12.424(1) Å, α = 64.904(7), β = 100.320(7), γ = 109.382(8)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text] The structure was solved by heavy atom methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.070 and Rw = 0.081 for 3093 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I).

A polycrystalline sample of a new polymorph of the title compound, C8H11NO2, was produced during a variable-temperature X-ray powder diffraction study. The crystal structure was solved at 1.67 Å resolution by simulated annealing from laboratory powder data collected at 250 K. Subsequent Rietveld refinement yielded an R wp of 0.070 to 1.54 Å resolution. The structure contains two molecules in the asymmetric unit, which form a C 2 2(8) chain motif via N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
