The title compound, [FePt(C9H9NO2S)(C18H15P)(C25H22P2)(CO)3], represents a rare example of an isonitrile-bridged (here Pt and Fe) and is an interesting precursor for the preparation of heterodinuclear μ-aminocarbyne complexes, since the basic imine-type N atom of the μ2-C=N–R ligand readily undergoes addition with various electrophiles to afford iminium-like salts. In the crystal, the almost symmetrically bridging μ2-C=N-R ligand (neglecting the different atomic radii of Fe and Pt) is strongly bent towards the Fe(CO)3 fragment, with a C=N-R angle of only 121.1 (4)°.

Solid p-tosylmethylisocyanide (98 mg, 0.5 mmol) was added in three portions to a solution of [(OC)3Fe(µ-CO)(µ-dppm)Pt(PPh3)] (1) (505 mg, 0.5 mmol) in 10 ml of CH2Cl2. The orange reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and then concentrated to 5 ml under reduced pressure. Addition of a hexane layer gave after storage for 2 d at 5°C in a refrigerator air-stable yellow–orange crystals (459 mg, 78% yield). Characterization data have been previously described in the literature (Knorr et al., 2002).
All H atoms were refined in geometrical idealized position using the riding model [aromatic C: C—H = 0.95 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C); CH2: C—H = 0.99 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C); CH3: C—H = 0.98 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C)].

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. |

Isonitriles, also called isocyanides (RNC) are often employed as ligands in coordination chemistry, since steric and electronic variation of the group R permits fine-tuning of the properties of a metal complex. In addition to the innumerable examples of mononuclear isonitrile complexes, many heterobimetallic complexes and higher nuclearity clusters bearing terminal isonitrile ligands have now been documented. However, polymetallic systems containing an isonitrile bridge between two different metal centers are still extremely scarce. Crystallograpically characterized examples include [ClPt(µ-dppm)2(µ-C═NMe)Ni(CNMe)]Cl and [Cp*FeCNPh(µ-C═NPh)(µ-SEt)PdCl(PPh3)][PF6] (Ratliff et al., 1990; Chen et al., 2010). This paucity is quite surprising, since metal-bound CO, which acts like CNR as a σ-donor and π-acceptor ligand, readily adopts a µ2-C═O bonding mode in heterometallic systems, where the metal centres are connected through a metal–metal bond. In the context of our interest on the activation of small unsaturated organic molecules such as olefins, alkynes and isocyanides, we have recently reported the synthesis of [(OC)3Fe(µ-C═N-CH2SO2p-tolyl)(µ-dppm)Pt(PPh3)] by reduction of [(OC)4Fe(µ-dppm)PtCl2(C≡N-CH2SO2p-tolyl)] in the presence of PPh3. Alternatively, the title compound is readily prepared by substitution of the bridging carbonyl group of [(OC)3Fe(µ-C═O)(µ-dppm)Pt(PPh3)] (1) by addition of an equimolar amount of the isocyanide according Fig. 1.
The title compound 2 crystallizes from CH2Cl2/hexane in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n. As shown in Fig. 2, the iron and platinum centres are linked by a dppm-bridge and a metal–metal bond, whose Fe–Pt separation of 2.5555 (9) Å is quite similar with that of the precursor 1 [Fe–Pt 2.579 (4) Å]. Also the other structural features are very reminiscent to the molecular structure of the latter compound. The bridging isonitrile ligand is symmetrically situated between the metals, with Fe—C(4) and Pt—C(4) distances of 2.003 (5) and 1.988 (6) Å, respectively. The length of the C(4)—N double bond of 1.180 (7) Å is somewhat shorter than that of the W—Pt complex [(OC)4W(µ-C═N-CH2SO2p-tolyl)(µ-dppm)Pt(PPh3)] [1.229 (12) Å] (Knorr et al., 2003) and matches with that of [(OC)3Fe(µ-C═N-o-anisyl)(µ-dppm)Pt(PPh3)] [1.191 (12) Å] (Knorr & Strohmann, 2000). The C(4)—N(1)—C(5) angle of 121.1 (4)° is extremely bent, the tosylmethyl group being oriented toward the Fe(CO)3 moiety. A comparable inclination with an average C—N—C angle of 123.1° was found for the µ-C═N-Et ligands of [(EtNC)3Fe(µ-C═N-Et)3Fe(CNEt)3], (Basset et al., 1981) whereas for the most part of structurally characterized bent µ-CNR systems C—N—C angles in the range between 130–133° have been documented.
