(Benzophenone imine-N)nonacarbonyldirhenium(0)(Re-Re)

J. A. Cabeza, I. del Río, N. Zuñiga-Villarreal and S. García-Granda

The reaction of [Re₂(CO)₁₀] with benzophenone imine in dichloroethane, in the presence of Me₃NO, leads to the binuclear title compound, nonacarbonyl(diphenylmethanimine-N)dirhenium(0)(Re-Re), [Re₂(HN=CPh₂)(CO)₉]. Both Re atoms are in an octahedral environment. The HN=CPh₂ ligand is attached to one of the metal atoms through the N atom, occupying an equatorial position. The equatorial carbonyl ligands of each octahedral fragment are staggered by 45°.

Comment top

Interest in the synthesis and reactivity of late-transition-metal amido complexes has grown considerably in recent years as a consequence of the relative scarcity of such compounds and of their potential use in carbon–nitrogen bond-forming reactions (Cabeza et al. 1998). In this field, we have recently communicated the first insertion of a non-activated alkyne into a metal–nitrogen bond, achieved onto a triruthenium cluster derived from benzophenone imine (Cabeza et al., 1997). In an extension of the interesting reactivity observed for these ruthenium complexes to other transition metals, we studied the reactivity of benzophenone imine with osmium (Cabeza et al., 2000) and rhenium carbonyl derivatives. The crystal structure reported herein of (benzophenone imine-N)nonacarbonyldirhenium(0)(Re—Re), (I), is part of this latter study.

Experimental top

Me₃NO (46 mg, 0.767 mmol) was added to a solution of [Re₂(CO)₁₀] (200 mg, 0.307 mmol) and benzophenone imine (103 µl, 0.614 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (20 ml). The color changed immediately to dark orange. The mixture was heated at reflux temperature for 1 h. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to ca 3 ml and the residue set on the top of a column of neutral alumina (2 × 10 cm, activity I). Elution with hexanes afforded a small amount of unreacted [Re₂(CO)₁₀]. Subsequent elution with hexanes/dichloromethane (3:1) afforded an orange band which contained 110 mg (44%) of the title compound, which was crystallized from Et₂O/hexanes at 253 K.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F² against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F², conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F². The threshold expression of F² > σ(F²) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F² are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
