Abstract

Cp$\sb2$Zr(PPh$\sb2$)$\sb2$ () is shown to be capable of acting as a 'metalloligand' in the preparation of early/late transition metal heterobimetallic compounds. reacts with the complex Mo(CO)$\sb4$(NHC$\sb5$H$\sb{10}$)$\sb2$ yielding Cp$\sb2$Zr($\mu$-PPh$\sb2$)$\sb2$Mo(CO)$\sb4$ () which crystallizes in the space group P2$\sb1$2$\sb1$2$\sb1$. reacts with M(PPh$\sb3$)$\sb4$ to yield Cp$\sb2$Zr($\mu$-PPh$\sb2$)$\sb2$MPPh$\sb3$ M = Ni (), Pd () and Pt (). Reaction of with the complex (Ph$\sb3$P)$\sb2$M(CO)$\sb2$ M = Ni, Pt gives (C$\sb5$H$\sb5$)$\sb2{\rm Zr(}\mu$-PPh$\sb2$)$\sb2$Ni(CO)$\sb2$ () and respectively. Reactions of with basic phosphines (PEt$\sb3$, PCy$\sb3$), CS$\sb2$, PhNCS and acetylenes were studied. Complexes of the form Cp$\sb2$M($\mu$-PR$\sb2$)$\sb2$M$\sp\prime$H(CO)PPh$\sb3$, have been prepared. Structural data for compounds in which M$\sp\prime$ = Rh, R = Ph, M$\sp\prime$ = Zr (15) and M = Hf, R = Ph, M$\sp\prime$ = Rh (16) are available. 15 crystallizes in the space group P2$\sb1$/n. 16 is isostructural to 15. 15 reacts with basic phosphines (PEt$\sb3$, PCy$\sb3$), CO, H$\sb2$ and alkenes have been studied. 15 is a catalyst precursor for the hydroformylation of 1-hexene. The complex Cp$\sb2$Ti(SPCy$\sb2$)$\sb2$ (24) was prepared and characterized. 24 crystallizes in the space group PI. The Zr or Hf analogues of (24) were prepared by a similar procedure by reacting Cp$\sb2$MCl$\sb2$ with the appropriate secondary phosphine chalcogenide. These compounds may also be prepared by reacting the appropriate Cp$\sb2{\rm M(PR}\sb2$)$\sb2$ with S$\sb8$. Reactions of Cp$\sb2$TiCl$\sb2$ with LiXPR$\sb2$, X = S, R = Ph; X = Se, R = Ph, Cy; or solutions of 24 on standing yield Ti(III) species by reductive elimination of (XPR$\sb2$)$\sb2$. These Ti(III) complexes are formulated as 'Cp$\sb2$TiXPR$\sb2$', X = S, R = Ph (29), X = S, Cy (30); X = Se, R = Ph (31), X = Se, R = Cy (32); on the basis of EPR data. These Ti(III) compounds are unstable and slowly convert by chalcogen atom abstraction to the complexes Cp$\sb2$TiX$\sb2$PR$\sb2$, X = S, R = Ph (35), R = Cy (36); X = Se, R = Ph (37), X = Se, R = Cy (38). 36 crystallizes in the space group Pbna. 37 crystallizes in the space group P2$\sb1$/c. 16 - 9, as well as the analogs where X = S, R = Me (33). R = Et (34) can also be prepared by photolysis of Cp$\sb2$Ti(CO)$\sb2$ in the presence of the appropriate (SPR$\sb2$)$\sb2$ or XPR$\sb2$H. Alternatively, 35 - 38 can be prepared by reaction of either LiXPR$\sb2$ or LiX$\sb2$PR$\sb2$ with (Cp$\sb2$TiCl) $\sb2$. 29 - 32 slowly convert to the complexes (Cp$\sb2$M($\mu$-X)) $\sb2$ M = Zr, X = S (39); M = Zr, X = Se (40); M = Hf, X = S (41); M = Hf, X = Se (43) respectively. The preparation of 39 - 42 can also be achieved by direct reaction of 25 - 28 with Cp$\sb2$M(PR$\sb2$)$\sb2$. Differences between the Ti chemistry and that of Zr and Hf is attributed to the ease of reduction of Ti(IV) to Ti(III).Dept. of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
