0 Introduction

The cyclopentadienyl groups have been among the most important ligands in organometallic chemistry, and group 6 and 8 metal carbonyl dimers with cyclopentadienyl-type ligands have been intensively investigated as a class of organometallic compounds. Cyclopentadienyl metal carbonyl complexes have been received much attention because of their potential utility as catalysts in many organic catalytic reactions[1-4].The steric and electronic factors of cyclopentadienyl ring substituents have great influence on catalytic activity,thussubtlechangesincyclopentadienyl ligand substitution can have profound consequences on chemistry reactivity.The changes can be easily tailored by replacement of both the cyclopentadienyl fragmentandanionicancillaryligands.Ligand modification not only opens access to construct new compounds,but also has the most profound effect on catalyst performance[5-6].Investigations in our laboratory focusing on the chemistry of group 6 and 8 metallocenes have demonstrated the importance of cyclopentadienyl substituent effects[7-12].On going our works to gain a deeper understanding of the steric and electric influences of substituents on the molecular structures and reactions of the corresponding cyclopentadienyl binuclear metal carbonyl complexes,herein, we reported the syntheses and characterization of a series of dinuclear metal carbonyl complexes bearing the substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienyl ligands.

1.1 General considerations

Schlenkandvacuumlinetechniqueswere employed for all manipulations of air-and moisturesensitive compounds.All solvents were distilled from appropriate drying agents under an atmosphere of nitrogen prior to use.1H NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AV 500 instrument,while IR spectra were recorded as KBr disks on a FT IR 8900 spectrometer.X-ray measurements were made on a Bruker Smart APEX diffractometer with graphite monochromated Mo Kα(λ=0.071 073 nm)radiation.Elemental analyses were performed on a Vario ELⅢanalyzer. The ligand precursors C5Me4HR(R=4-BrPh(1), (MeC5H3N)CH2(2))were synthesized according to the literature[13-14].Mo(CO)6,Fe(CO)5and Ru3(CO)12were purchased from J＆K Scientific Ltd and used without further purification,other reagents were purchased from commercial suppliers.

2 Results and discussion

2.1 Reactions of ligand precursors C5Me4HR(R= 4-BrPh(1),(MeC5H3N)CH2(2))with Mo(CO)6Reactions of ligand precursors C5Me4HR(R=4-BrPh(1),(MeC5H3N)CH2(2))with Mo(CO)6in refluxing xylene afforded the corresponding products 3(53.5%) and 4(43.6%)respectively(Scheme 1).

Scheme 1Synthesis of the complexes 3 and 4

Based on their1H NMR and IR spectra,3 and 4 were assigned as the normal Mo-Mo single bonded dinuclear complexes.The IR spectra of 3 and 4 all exhibited only terminal carbonyl bands(3:1 944, 1 926,1 898 cm-1;4:1 932,1 892,1 871 cm-1).The1H NMR spectra of 3 and 4 all displayed two groups of singlets for the four methyl protons,in addition,3 displayed two doublets for the phenyl protons and 4 displayed one singlet for the methylene protons and three groups of peaks for pyridyl protons,indicating the symmetrical structures in solution.

Single crystals of 3 suitable for X-ray diffraction was obtained from the slow evaporation of exane-CH2Cl2solution.Single crystals of 4 can be isolated in the same way but it is easily weathered.The singlecrystal X-ray determination of 3 is presented in Fig.1. It consists of two(C5Me4PhBr-4)Mo(CO)3units,and each of the molybdenum atoms is coordinated with a Cp(where Cp=cyclopentadienyl ligand)in an η5mode and three terminal carbonyl ligands.It has trans conformation and linked by a Mo-Mo bond,lying on a crystallographicinversion.Twoindependentbut chemically equivalent molecules appear in the unit cell.The fifth coordination position is occupied by a cyclopentadienyl ring that is essentially planar.The structural parameters of 3 are similar to those in[η5-C5Me4RMo(CO)3]2,and Mo-Mo bond distances for 3 are 0.328 9 nm(Mo1-Mo1i)and 0.329 4 nm(Mo2-Mo2ii),which are comparable to other metal-metal bond distances found for analogous derivatives of the type[η5-C5Me4RMo(CO)3]2(R=Ph-Me,(0.328 3 nm); R=Ph-OMe(0.330 7 nm)[15];R=n-butyl(0.328 6 nm)[16]). However,Mo-Mo bond distances of 3 are longer than that of trans-[η5-C5H5Mo(CO)3]2(0.323 5(1)nm)[17]and [(η5-C5H4iPr)Mo(CO)3]2(0.322 2(5)nm)[18],due to the bulky steric effect of the phenyl and four methyl groups.

2.2 Reactions of ligands[C5Me4HR][R=4-BrPh (1),(MeC5H3N)CH2(2)]with Ru3(CO)12and Fe(CO)5

To develop a wider generality of the reactions oftype,we further introduced Ru3(CO)12and Fe(CO)5, carriedout by similar reaction conditions in the refluxing xylene and products 5～8 were obtained(Scheme 2).

Scheme 2Synthesis of the complexes 5～8

Based on their1H NMR and IR spectra,5～8 were assigned as the normal M-M single bonded dinuclear complexes.The IR spectra of complexes 5～8 all exhibited a strong terminal carbonyl absorption at 1 921～1 930 cm-1and a strong bridging carbonyl absorption at 1 747～1 768 cm-1,which is comparable to other metal-metal bond spectra found in other substitutedcyclopentadienylrutheniumoriron carbonyl dimers.In their1H NMR spectra,5～8 all displayed two groups of singlets for the four methyl protons,in addition,both complexes 5 and 7 displayed two doublets for the phenyl protons and complexes 6 and 8 displayed one singlet for the methylene protons andthreegroupsofpeaksforpyridylprotons, indicating the symmetrical structures in solution.

Our initial idea is to introduce the pyridyl group to Cp ring as a functionalized side and then study the reactions of the side-chain-functionalized cyclopentadiene with metal carbonyls.For the pyridyl sidechain-functionalizedcyclopentadienylligand,the nitrogen atom can act as a good two-electron donor site and can coordinate to a variety of metals,for example,thermal treatment of the pyridyl side-chainfunctionalized cyclopentadiene withRu3(CO)12and Fe(CO)5could give different intramolecular C-H activated products besides the normal dinuclear metal complexes[22].Although we used different solvents,the pyridyl group only acted as substituent and did not coordinate with the Ru and Fe atoms,and the preconceivedC-Hactivatedproductswerenot obtained yet.

Selected bond lengths and angles for complexes 3,5,6 and 8 are given in Table 2.The single-crystal X-ray determination of complexes 5,6 and 8 are illustrated in Fig.2～4.

The crystal structure of 5 is shown in Fig.2,in an unit cell there are two different environmental molecules Ru(1)and Ru(2),which have the samestructure basically,just small differences in some bond lengths and angles.Similar to the cyclopentadienyl analogue trans-[η5-CpRu(CO)(μ-CO)]2,both the structures are trans form and have Cisymmetry. Two carbonyls are bridged and two carbonyls are terminal.The two cyclopentadienyl ring planes are parallel.The Ru-Ru distances are 0.275 3(2)nm(Ru1 -Ru1i)and 0.276 9(2)nm(Ru2-Ru2ii),respectively. Although there are two kinds of different environmental molecules in the unit cell,the1H NMR spectrum of 5 shows the existence of only one.This indicates that they may exist as one form in solution;however,the fact that a rapid fluxional process exist cannot be excluded[19-20].Disorder on the location of C31 and C32 has been shown in Fig.2.The disorder share of C31 is 0.50 and the disorder share of C32 is 0.50.

Fig.2 Molecular structure of complex 5

Ru-Ru bond distance of 5 is slightly longer than that in trans-[η5-CpRu(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.273 5(2)nm)[21], this may be attributed to the bulky steric effect of the phenyl and four methyl groups;but slightly shorter than trans-{[η5-C5Me4Ph]Ru(CO)(μ-CO)}2(0.277 69(4) nm)andtrans-{[η5-C5Me4(4-OCH3)C6H4]Ru(CO)(μ-CO)}2(0.277 01(6)nm),which may be attributed to their different electrical effects of-Br,-OCH3and-H at the 4-position of the phenyl.

Fig.3 Molecular structure of complex 6

Fig.4 Molecular structure of complex 8

The crystal structures of 6 and 8 are shown in Fig.3～4.The structures of 6 and 8 are similar,and both have two types of carbonyl ligands,namely, terminal and bridging,in their molecular structures. Both structures are the symmetrical(trans)isomers. The two cyclopentadienyl ring planes and pyridyl ring planes are parallel,respectively.There are two solvent molecules in their unit cells.For complex 6,the Ru-Ru bond distance(0.275 79(8)nm)is slightly longer than those of analogous complexes trans-[C5H4Ru(CO) (μ-CO)]2(0.273 5(2)nm)[21]and[(C5H3NCH3)CH2Me2C (C5H4)Ru(CO)]2(μ-CO)2(0.273 69(8)nm)[22],and veryclosetotrans-[(η5-C5Me4Bz)Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.27537(4) nm)[23],but slightly shorter than that in[(η5-C5Me4Ph) Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.277 69(4)nm),[(η5-C5Me4PhOMe) Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.277 01(6)nm)[15]and[(η5-C5H3Ph2) Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.276 36(3)nm)[24].Ru-CEN(CEN means centroid of the cyclopentadienyl ring)distance (0.19187nm)isslightlylongerthan trans-{[(η5-C5Me4Bz) Ru(CO)(μ-CO)]2}(0.191 61 nm)[23],and very close to trans-{[η5-C5Me4(4-OCH3)C6H4]Ru(CO)(μ-CO)}2(0.1918 nm),but slightly shorter than trans-{[η5-C5Me4Ph]Ru (CO)(μ-CO)}2(0.192 9 nm)[15].These distances are comparabletothosefoundinothersubstituted cyclopentadienylrutheniumcarbonyldimers.For complex 8,the Fe-Fe bond distance is 0.258 1(3) nm,which is slightly longer than those in the unbridged analogs,trans-[(η5-C5Me4Ph)Fe(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.256 35(6)nm),trans-[(η5-C5Me4PhOMe)Fe(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.256 30(8)nm)[15]andtrans-[(η5-C5Me4Bz) Fe(CO)(μ-CO)]2(0.255 70(5)nm)[9],and even longer than those in the singly bridged analogs,(Me2C)[(η5-C5H4)Fe(CO)2]2(0.248 36(6)nm)and(Et2C)[(η5-C5H4) Fe(CO)2]2(0.246 71(6)nm)[18].To the best of our knowledge,the Fe-Fe bond distance is the longest distance in the unbridged analogs so far.

3 Conclusions

Reactionsofsubstitutedtetramethylcyclopentadienes C5Me4HR(R=4-BrPh(1),(MeC5H3N)CH2(2)) with Mo(CO)6,Ru3(CO)12and Fe(CO)5in the refluxing xylene were studied,respectively.Six new metal carbonyl complexes were obtained and four of them were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results clearly revealed the coordination mode of these cyclopentadienyl metal complexes is η5and the N atom of pyridine did not coordinate to the metal atoms.These substituted cyclopentadienyl ligands are trans in the dimeric structures in the solid state. Substituent group variations display some influence on the M-M bond length of dinuclear tetramethylcyclopentadienyl metal carbonyl complexes.
