The use of a sodium in sodium chloride dispersion is systematically evaluated for the synthesis of nickel(0) and nickel(I) complexes from readily-prepared nickel(II) precursors. A variety of complexes with phosphine and bipyridine-type ligands were accessed, although some reactions were found to produce mixtures of nickel(0) and nickel(I), and yields were highly variable. Several new nickel(I) complexes were obtained, and these were characterised using techniques including NMR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The title compound, C14H20N4Si2 or [(Apy)2(μ-SiMe)2], systematic name 2-[2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3,2,4-diazadisiletidin-1-yl]pyridine, was obtained as a side product from the reaction of 2-amino-pyridine with LiBu n followed by the addition of Me2NMe2SiCl in hexane. The compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and NMR spectroscopy. The title compound lies about an inversion center at the centroid of the cyclodisilazane ring. The four-membered Si2N2 core is strictly planar with the two pyridyl rings placed centrosymmetrically on either side of the Si2N2 plane and are almost coplanar with the central four-membered ring.

[6-(CO)-6-H-6,9-(PPh3)2-6P,5C-μ-(2-Ph2PC6H4)-arachno-6-IrB9H11] (1) results from the reaction of [6-H-6-(PPh3)-6P,5C-μ-(2-Ph2PC6H4)-nido-6-IrB9H12] (2) with carbon monoxide in refluxing benzene. It is characterised by NMR spectroscopy and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals were triclinic, space group P1, with a = 10.688(2), b = 13.114(3), c = 22.356(5) Å, α = 78.33(2), β = 89.482(10), γ = 70.884(12)°, and Z = 2. The compound is of the little-examined arachno ten-vertex metallaborane structural type. A second compound of this type, [6-(CO)-6-H-6,6-(PMe2Ph)2-9-(PPh3)-arachno-6-IrB9H11] (3), isolated from a reaction system involving [Ir(CO)Cl(PPh3)2], PMe2Ph and the [nido-B9H12]- anion, has also been characterised crystallographically. Crystals were triclinic, space group P1, with a = 10.389(1), b = 10.511(1), c = 19.699(3) Å, α = 75.03(1), β = 85.53(1), γ = 74.88(1)°, and Z = 2.

The reaction of the ten-vertex nido anions [6,9-C2B8H10]2-, [6-Me-6,9-C2B8H9]2- and [6-Ph-6,9-C2B8H9]2- with [cis-PtCl2(PMe2Ph)2] in CH2Cl2 yields the yellow crystalline closo-structured eleven-vertex compounds [2-X-1,1-(PMe2Ph)2-1,2,3-PtC2B8H9], where X = H (compound 1), Me (compound 2), or Ph (compound 3) in yields of 58 88%. These compounds have been characterized by multielement NMR spectroscopy and, in the case of compounds 1 and 2, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals of compound 1 were monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a = 947.6(1), b = 1 547.7(3), c = 1 804.0(3) pm, β = 104.78(1)°, and Z = 4, solved and refined to R (Rw) = 0.0216 (0.0234) with 4 200 unique reflections I > 2.0 σ(I). Crystals of compound 2 were monoclinic, space group I2/a (= C2/c), with a = 1 824.8(2), b = 1 016.8(2), c = 1 328.2(3) pm, β = 101.48(2)°, and Z = 4, solved and refined to R (Rw) = 0.0442 (0.0474) with 2 057 unique reflections I > 2.0 σ(I). The NMR and X-ray results reveal that the closed eleven-vertex compounds [2-X-1,1-(PR3)2-1,2,3-PtC2B8H9] exhibit a previously unsuspected but very free contrarotational fluxionality within the constrains of their η6-carborane-to-metal bonding that is accompanied by a marked flexing of the η6-{C2B8H9X} moiety between nido and arachno ten-vertex geometries and electronic characteristics. The structural and bonding implications are discussed and elucidated specifically with reference to the NMR and geometrical charcteristics of [closo-2,3- C2B9H11], [arachno-6,9- C2B8H14] and the [nido-6-X-6,9- C2B8H9]2- anions, together with other pertinent species such as [μ-6,9-(SnMe2)-nido-6,9-C2B8H10] and more generally with reference to other eleven-vertex metallaheteroborano species. The general behaviour patterns thus established are summarized.

On treatment of the [(1,2-C2B9H11)2Co]- ion with naphthalene in presence of AlCl3 a remarkably bridged [8,8'-μ-(CH2-C9H6)-(1,2-C2B9H10)2-3-Co]- ion is obtained as a single isolated compound. The triatomic -CH2-C9H6- bridge is derived from the rearranged naphthalene nucleus. The mechanism of this reaction is obscure but it does resemble the "Electrophile-Induced Nucleophilic Substitution" reported earlier. The structure of the compound was established by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Thermolysis of [8,8-(PMe2Ph)2-nido-8,7-PtCB9H11] in boiling toluene solution results in an elimination of the platinum centre and cluster closure to give the ten-vertex closo species [6-(PMe2Ph)-closo-1-CB9H9] in 85% yield as a colourles air stable solid. The product is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals (from hexane-dichloromethane) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 903.20(9), b = 1 481.86(11), c = 2 320.0(2) pm, β = 97.860(7)° and Z = 8, and the structure has been refined to R(Rw) = 0.045(0.051) for 3 281 observed reflections with Fo > 2.0σ(Fo). The clean high-yield elimination of a metal centre from a polyhedral metallaborane or metallaheteroborane species is very rare.
