Reaction of [Rh2(µ-Cl)2(CO)4] with 2-hydroxypyridine (HOpy) and potassium hydroxide in methanol yields the tetranuclear complex [Rh4(µ-Opy)4(µ-CO)2(CO)4](1), but the binuclear compound [Rh2(µ-Opy)2(CO)4](2) is obtained when the reaction is performed under one atmosphere of carbon monoxide. Both complexes interconvert: by addition of trimethylamine oxide [(2)→(1)], or bubbling of carbon monoxide [(1)→(2)]. The related complex [Rh2(µ-Opy)(µ-dppm)2(CO)2][ClO4](3)[dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane] can be prepared by reaction of (2) with dppm and perchloric acid. Crystals of (1) are monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a= 19.429 3(9), b= 8.782 7(2), c= 8.439 9(2)Å, β= 98.912(3)°, and Z= 2. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and refined by least-squares calculations to R= 0.058. The structure of the tetranuclear complex consists of two binuclear units, centrosymmetrically related, and joined together through 2-pyridonate groups. In each binuclear moiety a 2-pyridonate group and a carbonyl ligand bridge the two rhodium atoms, which are directly bonded [Rh–Rh 2.619 7(8)Å].
Keine Zwischenstufen zu alkylidenverbrückten Komplexen, sondern stabile Verbindungen sind die Diiridium(II)‐Komplexe 1 (X CH 3 , CH 2 I). Die starke Beschleunigung der Synthese 1 → 2 durch Licht legt zwar einen Radikalmechanismus nahe, doch steht die Bildung eines Gemisches aus Chloro‐, Bromo‐ und Iodo‐Komplex bei der Synthese mit CH 2 I 2 in Gegenwart von [Bu 4 N]Br und CH 2 Cl 2 dazu in Widerspruch.
Reactions of the zirconium−sulfide metallocene anion [Cptt2ZrS2]2- (Cptt = η5-1,3-di-tert-butylcyclopentadienyl) with [{M(μ-Cl)(diolefin)}2 gave the d0−d8 complexes [Cptt2Zr(μ3-S)2{M(diolefin)}2] (M = Rh, diolefin = 2,5-norbornadiene (nbd) (1), 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod); M = Ir, diolefin = cod) with a triangular ZrM2 core capped by two symmetrical μ3-sulfido ligands. The rhodium complexes [Cptt2Zr(μ3-S)2{Rh(diolefin)}2] (diolefin = tetrafluorobenzobarrelene (tfbb), nbd, cod) can also be prepared by the additive-deprotonation reactions of the mononuclear [Rh(acac)(diolefin)] (diolefin = nbd, tfbb) and the dinuclear [{Rh(μ-OH)(cod)}2] complexes with [Cptt2Zr(SH)2]. These compounds exist as two rotamers in solution due to a hindered rotation of the cyclopentadienyl rings and the relative disposition of the substituents of the Cptt groups in the sandwich moiety. The reaction of [Cptt2Zr(SH)2] with [Ir(acac)(cod)] gave the complex [Cptt(acac)Zr(μ3-S)2{Ir(cod)}2] (5) with release of HCptt and coordination of acetylacetonate to the zirconium center. Carbonylation of compounds 1 and 5 yielded [Cptt2Zr(μ3-S)2{Rh(CO)2}2] (6) and [Cptt(acac)Zr(μ3-S)2{Ir(CO)2}2], respectively, while the complexes [Cptt2Zr(μ3-S)2{M(CO)2}2] (M = Rh, Ir) resulted also from the reaction of [Cptt2Zr(SH)2] with (PPh3Bz)[MCl2(CO)2] in the presence of triethylamine. Reactions of the carbonyl complexes with 1 molar equiv of bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm) gave the cisoid complexes [Cptt2Zr(μ3-S)2{M(CO)}2(μ-dppm)] (M = Rh (9), Ir) with evolution of carbon monoxide. Monodentate phosphites, P(OMe)3 and P(OPh)3, react with 6 to give mixtures of the transoid and cisoid isomers [Cptt2Zr(μ3-S)2{Rh(CO)(P(OR)3)}2], which also exhibit a restricted rotation of the Cptt rings. The molecular structures of complexes 6 and 9 have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Compound 6 in the presence of P-donor ligands, P(OMe)3, P(OPh)3, and PPh3, is a precursor of the catalyst for the hydroformylation of oct-1-ene under mild conditions of pressure and temperature. No Zr−Rh synergic effect is observed in this case, and the precursor breaks down after catalysis.
Reaction of [[Rh(mu-Cl)(CO)2]2] with the triazene ArNNNHAr (Ar = o-CO2MeC6H4) produced the mononuclear complex [RhCl(ArNNNHAr)(CO)2] (1). Complex 1 reacted with KOH in methanol to give the dinuclear compound [[Rh(mu-ArNNNAr)(CO)2]2] (2), which showed a "mu-(1kappaN1,2kappaN3)-ArNNNAr" coordination mode for both bridging ligands. The dinuclear complex [[Rh(mu-ArNNNAr)(CO)2]2] (2) easily undergoes redistribution reactions in which the eight-membered "Rh2(NNN)2" core is broken. Thus, reaction of 2 with the anionic complex (NHEt3)[RhCl2(CO)2] gave the single-bridged complex (NHEt3)[Rh2(mu-ArNNNAr)Cl2(CO)4] (4), while the trinuclear complexes [Rh3(mu-ArNNNAr)(mu-Cl)(mu-CO)Cl(CO)4] (5) and [Rh3(mu-ArNNNAr)2(mu-Cl)(mu-CO)(CO)3] (6) were isolated by addition of the neutral compound [[Rh(mu-Cl)(CO)2]2] to 2, depending on the molar ratio employed. The formation of 5 and 6 involved the loss of carbonyl groups and the coordination of the oxygen atoms of the CO2Me groups. The structures of 4, 5, and 6 have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods, which show the ability of bis(o-carboxymethylphenyl)triazenide to act as bi-, tri-, and tetra-dentate ligand-spanning dinuclear moieties in trinuclear complexes.

Bis(ethylene)(tertiary phosphine)platinum complexes [Pt(C2H4)2(PR3)][PR3= P(cyclo-C6H11)3, PMe2Ph, PMePh2, PPh3, or PPri2Ph] react with bis(cyclopentadienyl)bis(phenylethynyl)titanium to give compounds [Pt{η-(PhCC)2Ti(η-C5H5)2}(PR3)] in which the PhCC–Ti–CCPh group acts as a bidentate ligand to platinum. In contrast, dimethylbis(phenylethynyl)silane reacts with [Pt(C2H4)2(PR3)][PR3= P(C6H11)3, PMeBut2, or PPri2Ph] to give diplatinum complexes [Pt2(σ-CCPh){µ-(1-σ:1–2-η-CCPh)}(µ-SiMe2)(PR3)2]. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study has established the structure of the product from [Pt(C2,H4)2{P(C6H11)3}] and [Si(CCPh)2Me2]. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c(no. 14), with a= 12.44(1), b= 26.12(4), c= 15.832(8)Å, β= 97.99(6)°, and Z= 4. The structure has been determined by analysis of 5 131 unique data with F > 4σ(F) collected to 2θ⩽ 50°(Mo-Kα radiation) at 200 K on a four-circle diffractometer, and refined to R 0.053 (R′0.041). The results establish a molecular structure with an SiMe2 group asymmetrically bridging a Pt–Pt separation of 2.703(1)Å. Two CCPh groups are σ-bonded to one metal atom (formally PtIV) but one is also η2-co-ordinated to the other platinum (formally PtII). The P–Pt–Pt–P skeleton is non-linear with PPtPt angles of 165.2(1) and 148.0(1)°. Dimethylbis(phenylethynyl)silane reacts with [Pt(C2H4)(PPh3)2], without carbon–silicon bond cleavage, to give mono- and di-platinum η2 complexes [Pt{η-PhCCSi(C2Ph)Me2}(PPh3)2] and [Pt2{η-(PhCC)2SiMe2}(PPh3)4].
