Abstract
The binuclear rhodium and iridium complexes containing the 1,4-diaminoanthraquinonate ligand (1,4-DA) [M2(μ-1,4-DA)L2] (L = COD, M = Rh (1), Ir (2); L = (CO)2, M = Rh (3), Ir (4); L = (CO) (PPh3), M = Rh (5), Ir (6)) have been prepared and oxidative addition of the electrophiles MeI and I2 has been investigated. The molecular structure of an isomer of compound 5 has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Complex 5a crystallised in the triclinic space group P-1, with a = 9.711 (5), b = 13.701(7), c = 17.990(9) Å, α=68.53(2), β=76.98(3), γ=79.72(3)°, and Z=2. The molecule is binuclear with the metals bridged by an approximately planar tetradentate dianionic 1,4-DA ligand. Both rhodium centres exhibit slightly distorted square-planar coordinations with both phosphine groups trans disposed to the aminic nitrogen atoms. Addition of MeI to the rhodium complex 5 leads to the diacyl-dirhodium(III) derivative [Rh2(μ-1,4-DA)(COMe)2I2(PPh 3)2] (7). However, addition of MeI to the isoelectronic iridium compound 6 yields the dimethyl-diiridium(III) compound [Ir2(μ-1,4-DA)I2(Me)2(CO) 2(PPh3)2] (8). Reaction of iodine with compounds 5 or 6, in a molar ratio M/I2=1/1, yields the symmetrical complexes [M2(μ,-1,4-DA)I4(CO)2(PPh3) 2] (M=Rh (9), Ir(10)). © 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
