Electron and bromine transfer reactions between metal carbonyl anions and metal carbonyl bromides. Crystal and molecular structure of dimeric indenyl molybdenum tricarbonyl
- State Univ. of New York, Buffalo, NY (United States)
Reactions of metal carbonyl anions with metal carbonyl halides proceed by two separate paths. When the reactant anion is a strong nucleophile, the halogen is transferred, resulting in a new metal carbonyl halide and a new metal carbonyl anion as intermediates. The ultimate products, in this case, are the homobimetallic complexes. In cases where the reactant metal carbonyl anion is a poor nucleophile, a single electron transfer occurs, leading to the two homobimetallic complexes and to the heterobimetallic complex. Halide effects and possible indenyl effects are examined. The complex [Mo(indenyl)(CO)[sub 3]][sub 2] crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group P2[sub 1]2[sub 1]2[sub 1] (No. 19) with a = 7.3572(7) A, b = 14.4539(12) A, c = 19.983(2) A, V = 2125.0(4) A[sup 3], and Z = 4. Diffraction data were collected on a Siemens R3m/V diffractometer for 2[theta] = 5-45[degrees] (Mo K[alpha]), and the structure was solved and refined to R = 3.21% and R[sub w] = 3.23% for all 2786 independent reflections R = 2.26% and R[sub w] = 2.81% for those 2314 reflections with [vert bar]F[sub 0][vert bar] > 6[sigma]([vert bar]F[sub 0][vert bar]). 40 refs., 1 fig., 6 tabs.
