RESUMO
New transition metal fullerene complexes containing cis-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 (dppet) ligand have been investigated. The mononuclear complexes (etau2-C60)M(cis-dppet) (1, 2; M = Pd, Pt) were prepared by reaction of C60 with M(dba)2 (dba = dibenzylideneacetone) followed by treatment with cis-dppet, while the in situ prepared 1 and 2 reacted with M1(PPh3)4 to afford dinuclear complexes (eta2 : eta2-C60)M(cis-dppet)M1 (PPh3)2 (3-6; M, M1 = Pd, Pt). Similarly, trinuclear complexes (eta2 : eta2-C60) M(cis-dppet)M1 (dppr) (7-10; M, M1 = Pd, Pt; dppr = (eta5-Ph2PC5H4)2Ru) could be synthesized by reaction of the in situ prepared 3-6 with dppr. 1-10 were characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy. Cyclic voltammetric studies on 2 (M = Pt), 3 (M = Pd, M1 = Pd) and 9 (M = Pt, M1 = Pd) provided further evidence for the eta2-coordination of C60 to one metal fragment or two metal fragments in these complexes.

As an extension of our study on the H-cluster model compounds, a series of diiron propanediselenolate (PDS)-type models have been successfully synthesized. Reaction of diselenol HSe(CH(2))(3)SeH with Fe(3)(CO)(12) in THF (tetrahydrofuran) at reflux gave the parent model compound [micro-Se(CH(2))(3)Se-micro]Fe(2)(CO)(6) (1) in 48% yield. Further reaction of 1 with PPh(3) or PPh(2)H in the presence of Me(3)NO in MeCN at room temperature afforded the phosphine-monosubstituted model compounds [micro-Se(CH(2))(3)Se-micro]Fe(2)(CO)(5)(L) (2, L=PPh(3); 3, L=PPh(2)H) in 76% and 68% yields, respectively. Similarly, the N-heterocyclic carbene I(Mes)-monosubstituted model compound [micro-Se(CH(2))(3)Se-micro]Fe(2)(CO)(5)(I(Mes)) (4) could be prepared in 46% yield by reaction of imidazolium salt I(Mes).HCl with n-BuLi followed by treatment of the resulting I(Mes) ligand with 1 in THF at room temperature. Compounds 1-4 were fully characterized by elemental analysis and various spectroscopic methods. While the structures of 1-4 were further confirmed by X-ray crystallography, the comparative study of 1 and its analog [micro-S(CH(2))(3)S-micro]Fe(2)(CO)(6) demonstrates that 1 is a better catalyst for TsOH proton reduction to hydrogen under electrochemical conditions.

As the new H-cluster models, six diiron propanedithiolate (PDT) complexes with mono- and diphosphine ligands have been prepared and structurally characterized. The monophosphine model complex (mu-PDT)Fe(2)(CO)(5)[Ph(2)PNH(t-Bu)] (1) was prepared by reaction of parent complex (mu-PDT)Fe(2)(CO)(6) (A) with 1 equiv of Ph(2)PNH(t-Bu) in refluxing xylene, whereas A reacted with 1 equiv of Me(3)NO.2H(2)O in MeCN at room temperature followed by 1 equiv of Ph(2)PH to give the corresponding monophosphine model complex (mu-PDT)Fe(2)(CO)(5)(Ph(2)PH) (2). Further treatment of 2 with 1 equiv of n-BuLi in THF at -78 degrees C followed by 1 equiv of CpFe(CO)(2)I from -78 degrees C to room temperature afforded monophosphine model complex (mu-PDT)Fe(2)(CO)(5)[Ph(2)PFe(CO)(2)Cp] (3), whereas the diphosphine model complexes (mu-PDT)Fe(2)(CO)(4)(Ph(2)PC(2)H(4)PPh(2)) (4), (mu-PDT)Fe(2)(CO)(4)[(Ph(2)P)(2)N(n-Pr)] (5) and (mu-PDT)Fe(2)(CO)(4)[(Ph(2)P)(2)N(n-Bu)] (6) were obtained by reactions of A with ca.1 equiv of the corresponding diphosphines in refluxing xylene. All the new model complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopy and particularly for 1 and 3-6 by X-ray crystallography. On the basis of electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical studies, model 5 was found to be a catalyst for HOAc proton reduction to H(2), and for this electrocatalytic reaction an ECCE mechanism was proposed.
