Organometallic complex cations (hn-CnR'n)M(RN:CHCH:NR)Cl+ of 1,4-diazabutadienes (M = Os and n = 6 or M = Rh, Ir and n = 5, R = 2,6-dialkylphenyl). Structures and reduction to neutral compounds (hn-CnR'n)M(RNCH:CHNR)

Abstract

The title compds. with d6-configured Os(II), Rh(III), or Ir(III) were isolated and characterized by UV/visible and 1H NMR. Crystal structure analyses are presented for 1,4-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene (Dipp-DAB) and for (h5-C5Me5)Ir(Dipp-DAB)ClPF6 and (h6-C6Me6)Os(Xyl-DAB)ClPF6 Xyl-DAB = 1,4-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene. The electrochem. redn. of the compds. proceeds via an ECE mechanism to neutral 16 valence electron species (CnR'n)M(RNCH:CHNR), some of which could be isolated despite coordinative unsatn. due to the stabilization through axial shielding by the 2,6-dialkylphenyl substituents. on SciFinder(R)
