RESUMO
The fulvene complex (eta(6)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2))Re(C(6)F(5))(CO)(2) reacts at the exocyclic methylene carbon with potassium diphenylphosphide to yield the anionic species [(eta(5)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(C(6)F(5))(CO)(2)](-) (). Protonation of with HCl at 0 degrees C produces the hydride complex trans-(eta(5)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(C(6)F(5))(H)(CO)(2) (). Thermolysis of a hexanes solution of , under nitrogen atmosphere, produces the chelated complex (eta(5):eta(1)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(CO)(2) () in good yield. The thermolysis under a CO atmosphere affords a mixture of the complexes (eta(5):eta(1)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(CO)(2) () and (eta(5)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(CO)(3) (). The reaction of with two electron donor ligands yields (eta(5)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(CO)(2)(L) (, L = CO; , L = PMe(3); , L = (t)BuNC). Complex also reacts with I(2), HBF(4) and MeOTf to yield the cationic compounds trans-[(eta(5):eta(1)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(R)(CO)(2)](+) (, R = I; , R = H; , R = Me). Upon treatment with chloroform, the hydride complex converts to the corresponding chloro derivative . The trans stereochemistry for complexes have been assigned on basis of nu(CO) IR intensities and (13)C-NMR chemical shifts. The reaction of the cationic complexes (, ) with KI and Me(3)NO.2H(2)O yields the neutral species cis-(eta(5):eta(1)-C(5)Me(4)CH(2)PPh(2))Re(I)(R)(CO) (, R = I, , R = Me). The molecular structure of and have been determined by X-ray crystallography.
RESUMO
DFT methods are used to quantify the relationship between M-C and H-C bond energies; for MLn = Re(eta5-C5H5)(CO)2H and fluorinated aryl ligands, theoretical and experimental investigations of ortho-fluorine substitution indicate a much larger increase in the M-C than in the H-C bond energy, so stabilising C-H activation products.
