Abstract

Reactions of the cyclo-E-5 sandwich complexes [Cp*Fe(eta(5)-P-5)] (1) and [Cp*Fe(eta(5)-As-5)] (2) with the planar Lewis acid trimeric (perfluoro-ortho-phenylene) mercury [(o-C6F4Hg)(3)] (3) afford compounds that show distinctly different assemblies in the solid state. The phosphorus containing ligand 1 forms dimeric coordination units with two molecules of 3, with one P atom of each cyclo-P-5 ligand positioned in close proximity to the center of a molecule of 3. In contrast to the coordination behavior of 1, the arsenic analog 2 shows simultaneous interaction of three As atoms with the Hg atoms of 3. A DFT study and subsequent AIM analyses of the products suggest that electrostatic forces are prevalent over donor acceptor interactions in these adducts, and may play a role in the differences in the observed coordination behavior. Subsequently, a series of [(CpFe)-Fe-R(eta(5)-P-5)] (Cp-R = C(5)H(5-n)tBu(n), n = 1-3, 6a-c) sandwich complexes was prepared and also reacted with [(o-C6F4Hg)(3)]. In the solid state the obtained products 7a-c with increasing steric demand of the Cp-R ligands show no significant change in their assembly compared to the Cp* analog 4. All of the products were characterized by single crystal X-ray structure analysis, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis as well as NMR spectroscopy and IR spectrometry.
