Two-dimensional [sup 1]H-NMR EXSY study of the fluxional behavior of the novel carbenium ion complex [FvMo[sub 2](CO)[sub 4]([mu],[eta][sup 2],[eta][sup 3]-MeC[equivalent to]CCH[sub 2])][BF[sub 4]] (Fv = Fulvalene). Syntheses, structures, and reactivity

The title compound [FuMo[sub 2](CO)[sub 4]([mu],[eta][sup 2],[eta][sup 3]-MeC[equivalent to]CCH[sub 2])][BF[sub 4]] (3) was obtained quantitatively by protonation of [FvMo[sub 2](CO)[sub 4][mu],[eta][sup 2],[eta][sup 2]-MeC[equivalent to]CCH[sub 2]OMe] (2) in ether solution. In solution 3 was found to be fluxional. The mechanism of exchange was elucidated by 2-D [sup 1]H NMR EXSY (exchange spectroscopy), and the rate constants were determined with k[sub int] = 35 [+-] 4 s[sup [minus]1], [delta]G[double dagger]70[degrees]C = 17.7 [+-] 0.4 kcal/mol and k[sub rot] = 5 [+-] 0.5 s[sup [minus]1], [Delta]70[degrees]C = 19.1 [+-] 0.4 kcal/mol (int = interconversion; rot = rotation). Consistent with this fluxional behavior the molecular structure of 3, ascertained by X-ray analysis, showed a dynamic disorder in the solid state for the bridged hydrocarbyl ligand as well as for the carbonyl groups. [FvMo[sub 2](CO)[sub 4]([mu],[eta][sup 2],[eta][sup 3]-MeC[equivalent to]CCH[sub 2])]BF[sub 4] (3) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2[sub 1]/n with Z = 4 and cell dimensions a = 8.546 (3), b = 26.4441 (14), and c = 8.619 (2) [angstrom] and [beta] = 105.73 (2)[degrees]. The reactivity of this carbenium ion complex with respect to various nucleophiles is reported, including the X-ray molecular structure of the phosphonium derivative FvMo[sub 2](CO)[sub 4][mu],[eta][sup 2],[eta][sup 2]-MeC[equivalent to]CCH[sub 2]PPh[sub 3][BF[sub 4]] (6) obtained from phosphine addition to 3. Compound 6 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2[sub 1]/c with Z = 8 and cell dimensions a = 13.243 (4) b = 13.243 (4), and c = 38.461 (4) [angstrom] and [beta] = 93.92 (2)[degrees]; the structure was refined to R and R[sub w] values of 4.3 and 5.0%, respectively, using 6606 reflections. 16 refs., 3 figs.
