Molecular oxygen as a bridging ligand in a transition metal complex

Abstract: The catalytic hydrogenation activity1 of chlorotris-(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) is considered to be due to either (a) a vacant site in the five-coordinate species RhH2Cl[P(C6Hd)3]2, or (b) a six-coordinate species RhH2Cl[P(C6H5)3]2S, where S is a weakly bound, and readily replaced, solvent molecule. Our attempts to produce suitable crystals of the methylene chloride adduct of this active hydrogenating species for an X-ray diffraction study have been unsuccessful. However, we decided to extend our investigat… Show more

“…The P(1)−N(1) distance of 1.61(1) Å in the complex is within the range found for a coordinated iminophosphoranyl group . The directly bound Rh−P III distance of 2.206(4) Å also lies within the range found in many Rh(I) phosphine complexes of the type P 2 Rh(CO)Cl. The molecule has C 2 symmetry with the two fluorine atoms and the carbons to which they are attached being located on a crystallographic 2-fold axis. These two F atoms, the two CN groups, and two imine N atoms are coplanar with the fluoroaromatic ring.…”

“…(r:-CsHs)-(r/3-C4F6)2WC1, 2.417 (3)A, (Davidson, Green, Stone & Welch, 1976) and (r/5-CsHs)(NO)2WC1, 2.386 A, (Greenhough, Kolthammer, Legzdins & Trotter, 1980)]. The W-P distance, 2.516 (3) A, is substantially smaller than the value predicted by the sum of covalent radii, 2.69A, (Pauling, 1960;Bennett & Simpson, 1971), and may suggest significant zr character in the W-P bond from dzr-drc back donation. The P and CI ligands are almost coplanar with the W atom displaced only 1.15 (1)A out of the plane towards the arene group in contrast to Mo(CH3)2(r/6-C6H6)[PC6H 5-(CH3)2] 2 and Mo(CHa)2(r]6-C6HsCH3)[PC6Hs(CH3)2]2 where phosphine ligands are bent much further from the arene plane than the methyls [C(1)-Mo-C(2) 140.7 (3) and 142.4 (1) ° and P(1)-Mo-P(2) 100.6 (1) and 100.2 (1) ° (Atwood et al, 1979)] providing indirect evidence for the location of the hydrido ligand in (IV).…”
