N)(
5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(pyrimidine-
N)rhodium(III) bis(hexafluoridophosphate)The title compound, [Rh(C10H15)(C4H4N2)(C2H3N)2](PF6)2 or [Cp*Rh(NCMe)2(N2C4H4)](PF6)2, where Cp* is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, was obtained from the treatment of an acetonitrile solution of [Cp*Rh(NCMe)3](PF6)2 with an excess of pyrimidine. The RhIII center is coordinated by one Cp* ring, two acetonitrile ligands and one pyrimidine ligand in a pseudo-octahedral geometry. Both PF6 anions are disordered (site occupancies ca 0.4:0.6, and 0.3:0.4:0.3).
[Cp*Rh(NCMe)3](PF6)2 was prepared according to literature methods (White et al., 1992). The compound was synthesized by dissolving 95 mg (0.15 mmol) [Cp*Rh(NCMe)3](PF6)2 and 35 mg (0.44 mmol) pyrimidine in 2 ml MeCN. Yellow crystals were grown at room temperature by vapor diffusion of diethylether into an acetonitrile solution.
The proposed model includes multiple disordered sites for the two anions. Disordered anion moieties were refined as rigid, idealized groups with similar amplitude restraints imposed on displacement parameters for overlapping sites separated by less than Van der Waals radii using an effective standard deviation of 0.01 Å. The single idealized group refinement for the first set converged with some principal mean square atomic displacements that differed by as much as a factor of ten and some that were nearly isotropic. This suggested that a single rigid body with anisotropic displacement parameters was a poor fit to the observed data. In addition, residual electron density in excess of 2 e/Å3 from a subsequent difference Fourier map clearly indicated multiple potential surfaces for this anion. After refining two rigid groups (P1, P3) for the first set, residual density from a subsequent difference Fourier map indicated reasonable atomic positions for a third group. The proposed model for the second anion set (P2, P4) was developed simultaneously in a like manner. Methyl H atom positions, R—CH3, were optimized by rotation about R—C bonds with idealized C—H, R—H and H···H distances. Remaining H atoms were included as riding idealized contributors. Methyl H atom U's were assigned as 1.5 times Ueq of the carrier atom; remaining H atom U's were assigned as 1.2 times the carrier Ueq.

Experimental. One distinct cell was identified using APEX2 (Bruker, 2004). Five frame series were integrated and filtered for statistical outliers using SAINT (Bruker, 2005) then corrected for absorption by integration using SHELXTL/XPREP (Bruker, 2005) before using SAINT/SADABS (Bruker, 2005) to sort, merge, and scale the combined data. No decay correction was applied. |
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. Structure was phased by direct methods. Systematic conditions suggested the unambiguous space group. The space group choice was confirmed by successful convergence of the full-matrix least-squares refinement on F2. The highest peaks in the final difference Fourier map were in the vicinity of atoms F7 and F3; the final map had no other significant features. A final analysis of variance between observed and calculated structure factors showed no dependence on amplitude or resolution. |

While pyrimidine and pyrimidine derivatives are biologically relevant, only 120 crystal structures with metal–pyrimidine bonds have been reported, none of which contain Cp co-ligands (Barnett et al., 2005; Nedelec & Rochon, 2001; and Sharma et al., 1998). Here we report the crystal structure of [Cp*Rh(NCMe)2(N2C4H4)](PF6)2 as an unique half-sandwich pyrimidine adduct. The Rh—N distance for the two acetonitrile ligands are 2.093 (2) and 2.109 (2) Å. The coordinated pyrimidine has a longer Rh—N distance of 2.148 (2) Å. The N—Rh—N angles are slightly contracted ranging from 86.05 (9) to 88.74 (10)°.
