Novel six-co-ordinate oxorhenium complexes with ligands containing PN2 and PNO donor atom sets: syntheses and structural characterization

摘要

Reactions of [(Bu4N)-Bu-n][Re(O)Cl-4] 1 with an excess of the recently described heterofunctionalized phosphane ligands 2-(diphenylphosphanyl)-N-(2-hydroxyethyl)benzamide (H2PNO) and N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzamide (HPN2), in refluxing methanol, afforded the six-co-ordinated monooxorhenium(V) complexes [Re(O)(kappa(3)-PNO)(kappa(2)-H2PNO)]Cl 5 and [Re(O)(kappa(3)-PN2)(OMe)Cl] 6, respectively. Ligand exchange between H2PNO and [Re(O)Cl-3(PPh3)(2)] 2 in the presence of NaOAc has led to the six-co-ordinated monooxorhenium(V) complex [Re(O)(kappa(3)-PNO)(kappa(2)-DPPBA)] 7 (HDPPBA=2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzoic acid). The characterization of the compounds involved IR, H-1 and P-31 NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic analysis. The overall geometry around the metal is best described as a distorted octahedron: the co-ordination is defined by an oxo group, a tridentate dianionic PNO, and a bidentate co-ligand, which is the neutral H2PNO in the first case 5, and monoanionic DPPBA in the case of 7. In both these complexes the equatorial plane is defined by the phosphorus, nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the dianionic PNO ligand and by a phosphorus atom of the co-ligand. The axial positions are occupied by the oxo group and by an oxygen atom of the co-ligand. In complex 6 the axial position is defined along the O=Re-OMe bond, three equatorial positions being occupied by the PN2 ligand, whereas the fourth position is occupied by a chloride atom.
