The molybdenum-N2 pentaphosphine complex [Mo(N2)(dpepp)(dppm)] (1) containing a bi- and a tridentate phosphine ligand (dpepp = PhP(CH2CH2PPh2)2, dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2) has been prepared and characterized. By protonation of 1 with triflic acid the NNH2 complex [Mo(NNH2)(dpepp)(dppm)](CF3SO3)2 (2) is formed without loss of the pentaphosphine coordination. The electronic properties of 1 and 2 and their 15N and (or) 2H counterparts are investigated by NMR, IR, and Raman spectroscopy coupled to DFT frequency and NMR shift calculations. Force constants are evaluated from experimental frequencies and isotope shifts by the quantum chemistry based normal coordinate analysis procedure (QCB-NCA). The results for the N2 complex 1 are compared with those obtained earlier for bis(dinitrogen) and trans-nitrile dinitrogen systems. Importantly, the N2 in the pentaphosphine complex is more strongly activated compared to corresponding bis(dinitrogen) compounds and more weakly activated compared to trans-nitrile N2 systems. The activation of the NNH2 ligand in complex 2 is similar to trans-nitrile systems and weaker compared to corresponding NNH2 complexes with coordinated anions like [MoF(NNH2)(dppe)2](BF4). These results are discussed based on the relative donor–acceptor properties of the respective trans ligands, demonstrating the influence of σ donation and π acceptance on the activation of N2 in transition metal complexes.Key words: nitrogen fixation, phosphine complexes, NMR shifts, DFT calculations, normal coordinate analysis.

The crystal structures of cis-(n-Bu4N)2[ReCl4(NCS)2] (triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 11,245( 1), b = 20.174(3), c = 21.320(8) Å, a =109.06(2), β = 96.46(2), γ = 98.22(5)°, Z = 4) and cis-(Ph4P)2[ReCl4(NCSe)2]·2CH2Cl2 (triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 10.341(2), b = 13.436(3), c = 19.616(4) Å, α = 92.70(2), β = 92.02(2), γ = 89.99( 1)°, Z= 2) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Both ambidentate ligands NCS and NCSe are bonded via the N atom. Using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu4N) salts have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field. The valence force constants fd(ReN) are 1,78(NCS) and 1,79(NCSe) mdyn/ Å.

The gas phase IR and liquid phase IR and Raman spectra of (CF3)2PMn(CO)5 and (CF3)2AsMn(CO)6 have been recorded. The spectra are assigned on the basis of a normal coordinate analysis using a transferred force field.

By treatment of [PtCl6]2- with an excess of SCN– in aqueous solution [Pt(SCN)6]2- is formed. The X-ray structure determination on a single crystal of [Py2CH2][Pt(SCN)6] (orthor-hombic, space group Pna21, a = 15.5084(9), b = 11.8444(11), c = 13.2830(9)Å, Z = 4) shows, that the thiocyanate groups are exclusively S-coordinated with average Pt-S distances of 2.378 Å and Pt-S-C angles in the range from 103.1° to 108.1°. Based on the molecular parameters of the X-ray determination the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constant is fd(PtS) = 1.62 mdyn/Å.

Abstract In the reaction of K2[OsX3 Y3] with boiling water/acetylacetone (1:1) the six mixed com­plexes cis-and trans-[OsX2 (acac)2] (X ≠ Y = Cl, Br, I) are formed, which have been purified by column chromatography with toluene on silica gel. The IR and Raman spectra (10K) show the intraligand vibrations of the acac groups with nearly constant frequencies and the stretching vibrations of OsO in the range 460-696, of OsCl at 315-345, of OsBr at 210-225, and of Osl at 160-175 cm-1 . A normal coordinate analysis based on a modified valence force field was performed for trans-[OsClBr(acac)2] and the vibrational modes have been assigned. With a set of 32 force constants, taking into account the intraligand vibrations, a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies has been achieved. The valence force constants are fd (OsCl•) = 1.75, fd(OsBr′) = 1.63 and fd (OsO) = 3.27 mdyn/Å.

The IR and Raman spectra of SiH3⊖, SiH3SiH2⊖, (SiH3)2SiH⊖, (SiH3)3Si⊖ and their deuterated derivatives have been recorded in HMPT and HMPT-d18 solutions. Most normal vibrations have been identified. The SiH and SiSi stretching vibrations are considerably lower than for analogous silanes and silylphosphines, ∼ 2050 and 1850-1900 cm-1 being characteristic for SiH3 and SiH⊖n groups respectively. The assignments are proved by a normal coordinate analysis, and force constants have been calculated. The negative charge is mainly localized on the trivalent Si atom and the lone pair acts repulsively rather than strengthening the SiSi bond through (p→d)π effects.

The mixed chloro-bromo-technetates(IV), [TcClnBr6-n2-, n = 1-5, have been separated for the first time by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-cellulose. Due to the stronger trans-effect of Br as compared to Cl, the ligand exchange reactions of [TcBr62- with HCl and of [TcCl6]2- with HBr proceed stereospecifically, to form either cis/fac- or trans/merspecies for n = 2, 3, 4, respectively. To avoid photoisomerization the compounds have to be handled in the absence of light. The IR and Raman spectra of the ten chloro-bromo-techne-tates(IV), including the pure geometrical isomers, have been recorded at low temperature (80 K) and completely assigned to structures of point groups Oh, D4h, C4v, C3v, and C2v, supported by normal coordinate analysis based on a general valence force field. Due to the different trans-influences Cl < Br in asymmetric Cl′—Tc— Br′ axes, the Tc— Br′ bonds are strengthened and the Tc—Cl′ bonds are weakened, as indicated by valence force constants, for Tc—Br′ on average 6% higher and for Tc—Cl′ 10% lower, as compared with the values calculated for symmetric Br—Tc—Br and CI—Tc—Cl axes, respectively.
