The coordination chemistry of an electron-rich macrocyclic CNC pincer-ligand consisting of two pentamethylene tethered N-heterocyclic carbene moieties on a carbazole backbone (bimcaC5) is investigated by mainly NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. A bridging coordination mode is found for the lithium complex. With the larger and softer potassium ion, the ligand adopts a facial coordination mode and a polymeric structure by intermolecular potassium nitrogen interactions. The facial coordination is also confirmed at a Cp*Ru fragment, while C-H activation under dehydrogenation at the alkyl chain is observed upon reaction with [Ru(PPh3)3Cl2]. In contrast, Pd(OAc)2 reacts under C-H activation at the central carbon atom of the pentamethylene tether to an alkyl-pincer macrocycle.

A series of mononuclear and dinuclear trimethylplatinum(iv) iodide complexes of pyridine ligands have been synthesized and characterized using 1H-NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis.


The results of an X -ray crystal structure analysis of the crystalline complex, (CH 3 ) 3 Pt(CH 3 . CO . CH . CO . CH 3 )C 10 H 8 N 2 , formed by trimethylplatinum with acetylacetone and 2:2'-bipyridyl are presented. There are four monomeric molecules in a monoclinic unit cell having a = 14.863, b = 8.480, c = 13.749 Å, β = 99° 24' at 110±10 °K and space group P 2 1 / c . The atomic positions have been determined by three-dimensional analysis from observations collected at 100 to 120 °K. Refinement, including allowance for anisotropic thermal motion, was carried out by the method of least squares until the value of the residual R was 0.084. The platinum atom is octahedrally co-ordinated to three methyl groups in the cis configuration (Pt—C = 2.05 Å), to the two nitrogen atoms of the bipyridyl (Pt—N = 2.15 Å) and to the central or ‘active methylene’ carbon atom of acetylacetone (Pt—C = 2.36 Å). The oxygen atoms of the acetylacetone take no part in the co-ordination; this is the first example of a β -diketone acting as an unidentate ligand solely through a carbon atom. Comparison of the bond lengths in this and in the dimeric trimethyl 4:6-dioxononyl platinum suggests that in both compounds the β -diketone is in the keto and not the enol form; in the present compound the oxygen atoms are not chelated and the C=0 bonds are not parallel.

The combination of a diphenylphospinyl and a triazol-3-yl unit was realized for the first time at a 1,1'-binaphthyl backbone. This novel type of P,N-ligand is accessible as an enantiomerically pure compound in just a few steps. First experiments on the coordination chemistry with palladium(II) chloride have been carried out. A series of intermediates and a binuclear palladium(II) complex could be characterized by X-ray crystal structure analysis

Due to their remarkable electronic features, recent years have witnessed the emergence of carbones L2C, which consist in two donating L ligands coordinating a central carbon atom bearing two lone pairs. In this context, the phosphine/sulfoxide-supported carbone 4 exhibits a strong nucleophilic character, and here, we describe its ability to coordinate dichlorogermylene. Two original stable coordination complexes were obtained and fully characterized in solution and in the solid state by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis, respectively. At 60 °C, in the presence of 4, the Ge(II)-complex 5 undergoes a slow isomerization that transforms the bis-ylide ligand into an yldiide.

AbstractThe title compound has been synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR, elemental analysis as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Crystal structure analysis reveals that the boron atom is tetrahedrally bonding with one carbon atom, one nitrogen atom, and two oxygen atoms. The bond between nitrogen atom and boron atom is a coordination bond.

With R2PSi(CH3)3 (R = C6H5, i-C3H7, t-C4H9) one Cl atom of 3,4-dichlor-5-methoxy-2(5 H)-furanon (1) is substituted by the R2P group. An x-ray crystal structure analysis of the phosphino derivative with R = C6H5 (2) it has shown that of the two Cl atoms in 1 only the β-position (to C= O) is substituted. The coordination chemistry of 2 and its bis- (diphenylphosphino) derivative (3) is studied by preparation of the compounds 2 · Mo(CO)5 and 3 · Mo(CO)4. With PdCl2 · 2 C6H5CN (2) gives a dinuclear complex [2 · PdCl2]2, with bridging Cl atoms. The structure is established by a comparison with the similar complex of PdCl2 and 2-chloro-diphenylphosphino-maleic acid dimethylestor, which was synthe­sized as a model compound and studied by x-ray crystal structure analysis.

The reactions of the acids la-4a and 8a with 1,3,5-trimethylhexahydro-1,3,5-triazine furnished compounds 1b-4b and 8b. The IR investigation of 1 b, 4b and 8b revealed P=O ··· H—N interactions. In the unusual reaction of lb with methyl iodide the quaternary ammonium iodide [(H3C)2P(:O)CH2N(CH3)3]+I- 1c was formed. The reaction of 2b with methyl iodide produced the ammonium iodide [(H3C)2P(:S)CH2NH2CH3]+I- 2c. The structure of 2c was confirmed by X-ray crystal structure analysis, which showed the expected distorted tetrahedral geometry at phosphorus and revealed N—H ••• I hydrogen bonds. Reaction of 8b with methyl iodide led to the formation of the ammonium iodide 8c by methylation at the nitrogen atom. In the reaction of lb and 2b with HPF6 the compounds 1 d and 2d were obtained. The compounds 1 d and 2d, due to their instability at room temperature, could be identified only by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy.
