Jungfer MR, Abram U. [ReH 3 (PPh 3 ) 4 ] - A Key Compound in the Rhenium Hydride Chemistry. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202203317. [PMID: 36628556 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
The chemistry of the rhenium trihydrido complex [ReH3 (PPh3 )4 ] (1) has been reinvestigated. An improved synthesis and the solid-state structure of the compound as well as several reactions are reported. The solid-state structure of 1 is similar to that of [TcH3 (PPh3 )4 ] having a capped-octahedral coordination sphere. The PPh3 ligands surround the Re atom in a trigonal-pyramidal mode with a short apical Re-P bond (2.300(2) Å) and three longer basal bonds (2.429(2)-2.449(2) Å). Reactions of 1 with monodentate phosphines such as PMe3 or PBu3 give the mono-substituted complexes [ReH3 (PPh3 )3 (PMe3 )] (2) and [ReH3 (PPh3 )3 (PBu3 )] (3) under retention of the apical PPh3 ligand and substitution of one of the basal PPh3 ligands. The stability of the phosphine trihydride complexes decreases in the order PPh3 >PMe3 >PBu3 . Treatment of [ReH3 (PPh3 )4 ] with trityl hexafluorophosphate in CH3 CN does not result in a hydride abstraction, but gives the tetrahydrido cation [ReH4 (NCCH3 )(PPh3 )3 ]+ (4), while reactions with nitriles give unstable azavinylidene complexes of the composition [ReH2 (PPh3 )3 (NC(H)R)] (5). They are formed by an insertion of the nitrile into a Re-H bond. The solid-state structure of the methyl derivative [ReH2 (PPh3 )3 (NC(H)CH3 )] (5 a) was determined showing a linear Re-N-C unit with rhenium-nitrogen and nitrogen-carbon double bonds, while the N=CH-C bond is clearly bent with an angle of 124°. Two previously unknown polymorphs of [ReH5 (PPh3 )3 ] were isolated from reactions of 1 with HOC6 H3 (CH3 )2 and thiourea after prolonged heating in toluene and characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
Oxidation of [Re(NCCH3)6]2+ with the thianthrene radical cation results in the formation of [Re(NCCH3)6]3+, one of the very rare cases of a fully solvated +3 complex. It was fully characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis. In contrast to its reduced analogue, [Re(NCCH3)6]3+ exhibits a much faster CH3CN exchange. Hence, substitution reactions proceed at 20 °C within minutes. Its potential as a versatile precursor for ReIII chemistry was examined with a series of substitution reactions. The more lipophilic analogue [Re(NCPh)6]3+ was synthesized by nitrile exchange in benzonitrile (NCPh). The Re(II) analogue of [Re(NCPh)6]3+, [Re(NCPh)6]2+, forms by AgI-mediated oxidation of in situ formed [Re(η6-C6H6)(NCPh3)3]+ in NCPh. The same synthetic strategy is feasible for the synthesis of [Re(NCCH3)6]2+ as well. [Re(NCCH3)6]3+ reacts with 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane (C6H12S3) to yield sevenfold-coordinated [Re(κ3-C6H12S3)2(NCCH3)]3+. The reaction of [Re(NCCH3)6]3+ with 1 equiv of (NBu4)X produces the ReIII monohalide complexes [ReX(NCCH3)5]2+ (X = Cl, Br, I). Mixed ReIII dihalides (trans-[ReXY(NCCH3)4]+) were obtained by treating [ReX(NCCH3)5]2+ with a second equivalent of (NBu4)Y (if X = Cl, Y = Br, I; if X = Br, Y = I). Because of this fast CH3CN exchange, [Re(NCCH3)6]3+ is a very suitable precursor for new ReIII complexes.

Abstract
The first rhena-analogues of pyridinium (cyclopropametalla-2-isoquinolinium complexes) are obtained from o-ethynyl benzonitriles. Structural analysis and DFT calculations confirm their aromatic nature. Compared to rhenapyrylium, rhenapyridinium has a slightly stronger Hückel π-aromaticity, while a chlorine substituent on the rhenapyridinium ring decreases its aromaticity, which is revealed by NICS, EDDB, MCI and ΔBV(ELFπ) analysis.

Abstract
In the present work, a convenient and straightforward approach to the preparation of borylated amidines based on the closo-dodecaborate anion [B12H11NCCH3NHR]-, R=H, Alk, Ar was developed. This method has two stages. A nitrile derivative of the general form [B12H11NCCH3]- was obtained, using a modified technique, in the first stage. On the second stage the resulting molecular system interacted with primary amines to form the target amidine products. This approach is characterised by a simple chemical apparatus, mild conditions and high yields of the final products. The mechanism of the addition of amine to the nitrile derivative of the closo-dodecaborate anion was studied, using quantum-chemical methods. The interaction between NH3 and [B12H11NCCH3]- ammonia was chosen as an example. It was found that the structure of the transition state determines the stereo-selectivity of the process. A study of the biological properties of borylated amidine sodium salts indicated that the substances had low toxicity and could accumulate in cancer cells in significant amounts.

A Comprehensive Analysis of the Metal-Nitrile Bonding in an Organo-Diiron System. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26237088.

Abstract
Nitriles (N≡CR) are ubiquitous in coordination chemistry, yet literature studies on metal-nitrile bonding based on a multi-technique approach are rare. We selected an easily-available di-organoiron framework, containing both π-acceptor (CO, aminocarbyne) and donor (Cp = η5-C5H5) ligands, as a suitable system to provide a comprehensive description of the iron-nitrile bond. Thus, the new nitrile (2-12)CF3SO3 and the related imine/amine complexes (8-9)CF3SO3 were synthesized in 58-83% yields from the respective tris-carbonyl precursors (1a-d)CF3SO3, using the TMNO strategy (TMNO = trimethylamine-N-oxide). The products were fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR (solution and solid state) and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. In addition, the structures of (2)CF3SO3, (3)CF3SO3, (5)CF3SO3 and (11)CF3SO3 were ascertained by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Salient spectroscopic data of the nitrile complexes are coherent with the scale of electron-donor power of the R substituents; otherwise, this scale does not match the degree of Fe → N π-back-donation and the Fe-N bond energies, which were elucidated in (2-7)CF3SO3 by DFT calculations.
