The 2-adamantyl (2-Ad) group is a particularly challenging alkyl to install on a transition metal, with the only reported 2-Ad complexes of platinum being those of Pt(II). The question of whether 2-Ad complexes with platinum in the oxidation state +IV can be made and whether they are stable is answered here. The Pt(IV) compound trans-[(bpy)PtMe2(2-Ad)I] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) was synthesized via oxidative addition of iodomethane to [(COD)PtMe(2-Ad)] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in the presence of bpy. Iodide abstraction with silver triflate (triflate anion, OTf− = CF3SO3−) produced trans-[(bpy)PtMe2(2-Ad)(OTf)]. Both complexes were unambiguously characterized by 1D NMR (1H, 13C) spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Both show evidence for the large steric bulk of the 2-Ad group (through the conformation of the complex adopted) and also for its exceptionally pronounced trans-influence (very long bonds to iodide/triflate trans to adamantyl). Both of the new platinum(IV) adamantyl complexes were extremely stable, even to prolonged heating.

ABSTRACTA range of transition metal bearing hollandite phases, formulated Ba1.2B1.2Ti6.8O16 (B2+ = Mg, Co, Ni, Zn, Mn) and Ba1.2B2.4Ti5.6O16 (B3+ = Al, Cr, Fe) were prepared using an alkoxide - nitrate route. X-ray powder diffraction demonstrated the synthesis of single phase materials for all compositions except B = Mn. The processing conditions required to produce > 95 % dense ceramics were determined for all compositions, except B = Mg for which the maximum density obtained was > 93 %. Analysis of transition metal K-edge XANES data confirmed the presence of the targeted transition metal oxidation state for all compositions except B = Mn, where the overall oxidation state was found to be Mn3+. The K-edge EXAFS data of Ba1.2B1.2Ti6.8O16 (B = Ni and Co) were successfully analysed using a crystallographic model of the hollandite structure, with six oxygen atoms present in the first co-ordination shell at a distance of ca. 2.02Å. Analysis of Fe K-edge EXAFS data of Ba1.2B2.4Ti5.4O16 revealed a reduced co-ordination shell of five oxygens at ca. 1.99Å.

Here we apply microcrystal electron diffraction (MicroED) to the structural determination of transition metal complexes. We find that the simultaneous use of 300 keV electrons, very low electron doses, and an ultra-sensitive camera allows for the collection of data without cryogenic cooling of the stage. This technique reveals the first crystal structures of the classic zirconocene hydride, colloquially known as “Schwartz’s reagent”, a novel Pd(II) complex not amenable to solution-state NMR or X-ray crystallography, and five other paramagnetic or diamagnetic transition metal complexes.

Post-synthetic modification of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) facilitates a strategic transformation of potentially inert frameworks into functionalized materials, tailoring them for specific applications. In particular, the post-synthetic incorporation of transition-metal complexes within MOFs, a process known as ‘metalation’, is a particularly promising avenue towards functionalizing MOFs. Herein, we describe the post-synthetic metalation of a microporous MOF with various transition-metal nitrates. The parent framework, 1 , contains free-nitrogen donor chelation sites, which readily coordinate metal complexes in a single-crystal to single-crystal transformation which, remarkably, can be readily monitored by X-ray crystallography. The presence of an open void surrounding the chelation site in 1 prompted us to investigate the effect of the MOF pore environment on included metal complexes, particularly examining whether void space would induce changes in the coordination sphere of chelated complexes reminiscent of those found in the solution state. To test this hypothesis, we systematically metalated 1 with first-row transition-metal nitrates and elucidated the coordination environment of the respective transition-metal complexes using X-ray crystallography. Comparison of the coordination sphere parameters of coordinated transition-metal complexes in 1 against equivalent solid- and solution-state species suggests that the void space in 1 does not markedly influence the coordination sphere of chelated species but we show notably different post-synthetic metalation outcomes when different solvents are used. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks: materials by design’.

Under exclusion of air the thioether and thiol complexes [Ru(SRR′)(PPh3)′S4′] (′S4′2- = 1,2-bis(2-mercaptophenylthio)ethane (2—)) easily react with CHCl3 yielding [Ru(Cl)(PPh3)(′S4′—CHCl2)] in which one thiolato atom of the ′S4′ ligand is diastereospecifically dichloromethylated. In the presence of air, however, [RuIII(Cl)(PPh3)′S4′] is formed.The molecular structures of [Ru(Cl)(PPh3)(′S4′-CHCl2)] · 2CHCl3 and [RuIII(Cl)(PPh3)′buS4′] have been determined by X-ray crystallography. ′buS4′2- (= 1,2-bis(3,5-di(t-butyl)-2-mercaptophenylthio)ethane(2-)) is the t-butyl derivative of the ′S4′ ligand. Reasons for observed diastereospecifity of alkylation are discussed.

The hexacarbonyl compounds of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten react with the highly nucleophilic agent Li NiPr2 and in a subsequent alkylation with (Et3O)BF4 to give the carbene complexes (CO)5M[C(N′Pr2)OEt] (1, 3, 4). In case of W(CO)6 and Mo(CO)6 the novel biscarbene complexes cis(CO)4M[C(NiPr2)OEt]2 (2, 5) are additionally obtained. Reaction conditions, properties and spectroscopic data of the new compounds are reported. The molecular structure of cis(CO)4W[C(NiPr2)OEt]2 (4) was determined by X-ray crystallography

Abstract Bis(triethylphosphine)(η4-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)nickel (4) was synthesized by the reduction of (η4-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)nickel(II)bromide (3) with t-butyllithium in the presence of Et3P, and its structure was determined by X-ray crystallography. Furthermore, its reactivity towards CO, CH3CO2H, PhC≡CPh, LiAlH4 and O2 were investigated. 1,1-Bis(triethylphos-phine)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenylnickelole (14) was synthesized from (E,E)-1,4-dilithio-1,2,3,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene (15) and bis(triethylphosphine)nickel(II)bromide. Since the resulting crystals of the nickelole were not suitable for X-ray structure determination, the compound was characterized by elemental analyses, spectral data and carbonylation to yield tetraphenylcyclo-pentadienone (6).Analogous reductions of (η4 -tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)nickel(II)bromide (3) in the presence of Ph3P or Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2 , followed by carbonylation, led to 6 in 40% yield, demonstrating that about half of the cyclobutadiene rings in 3 undergo cleavage upon reduction to give the nickelole.Reactions of the dilithium reagent 15 with NiBr2 complexed with Me2PCH2CH2PMe2 ,Ph3P or Et2PCH2CH2PEt2 , led to the formation of thermolabile nickeloles, as demonstrated by carbonylàtion which yielded 6. Warming of the nickeloles and subsequent treatment with CH3CO2H led to the formation of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octaphenyl-1,3,5,7-octatetraene (8) and, in one case, octaphenyl-cyclooctatetraene (5).The relevance of these findings to the mechanism of the Reppe nickel-catalyzed oligomerization of alkynes is discussed.
