VARIABLE COORDINATION MODES FOR 1,1'-BIS(DIPHENYLPHOSPHINO)FERROCENE (DPPF) MONO-CHALCOGENIDE AND DI-CHALCOGENIDE OR MONOCHALCOOXIDE AND DICHALCOOXIDE (DPPFE AND DPPFE(2) - E = O, S OR SE) IN COPPER(I) COMPLEXES - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF [(CU(DPPF))(2)(MU-DPPFS(2))](BF4)(2) AND [CU(DPPFSE)(2)]BF4
G. Pilloni et al., VARIABLE COORDINATION MODES FOR 1,1'-BIS(DIPHENYLPHOSPHINO)FERROCENE (DPPF) MONO-CHALCOGENIDE AND DI-CHALCOGENIDE OR MONOCHALCOOXIDE AND DICHALCOOXIDE (DPPFE AND DPPFE(2) - E = O, S OR SE) IN COPPER(I) COMPLEXES - CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF [(CU(DPPF))(2)(MU-DPPFS(2))](BF4)(2) AND [CU(DPPFSE)(2)]BF4, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 277(2), 1998, pp. 163-170
Reaction of [Cu(MeCN)(4)]BF4 with the phosphine Fe[eta(5)-C5H4PPh2](2)
(dppf) and its disulfide (dppfS(2)) sequentially in chlorinated solve
nts led to the dinuclear tricoordinate complex [{Cu(dppf-P,P')}(2)(mu-
dppfS(2)-S,S')] (BF4)(2) (1), whereas reaction of the copper reagent w
ith dppf and its diselenide (dppfSe(2)) gave the bis-chelate dppf-mono
selenide compound [Cu(dppfSe-P,Se)(2)] BF4 (2). Similarly, the E = O o
r S relevant complexes [Cu(dppfE-P,E)(2)] BF4 were obtained by reactio
n of the copper(I) precursor with the dppf-monoderivatives [eta(5)C(5)
H(4)PPh(2)] Fe[eta(5)-C5H4P(E) Ph-2] (dppfE). The complexes have been
characterized by H-1 and P-31 NMR spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray s
tructure determinations were performed for complexes 1 and 2. Complex
1 crystallizes as CHCl3, (1a) or CHBr3, (Ib) monosolvates. The cation
of 1 is exactly centrosymmetric and shows a distorted trigonal planar
coordination at copper with a P-Cu-P angle of 115.7(1)degrees and the
S-Cu-P angles of 138.6(1) and 104.3(6)degrees, as mean values from la
and Ib, in complex 2 the coordination geometry around the metal atom i
s markedly distorted tetrahedral with the two dppfSe moieties acting a
s chelating ligands with bite angles of 111.5(2) and 116,8(2)degrees,
The Se (1)-Cu-Se(2) angle (103.4(2)degrees) approaches the value for t
etrahedral geometry, while the remaining angles differ significantly f
rom the ideal value ranging from 96.1(2) to 121.9(3)degrees. The Cu-Se
-P angles (124.5(2) and 132.9(2)degrees) point towards a substantially
sp(2) hybridization of the selenium atom. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S
