Substituted imide and amide derivatives were conveniently prepared from the reaction of isocyanates with o-iodobenzoates and haloarenes catalyzed by the NiBr2(dppe)/dppe/Zn system in moderate to good yields with excellent tolerance of functional groups.

Treatment of anhydrous FeX2 (X = Cl, Br, I) with one equivalent of bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) in refluxing THF afforded analytically pure white (X = Cl), light green (X = Br), and yellow (X = I) [FeX2(dppe)]n (X = Cl, ; Br, ; I, ). Complexes are excellent synthons from which to prepare a range of cyclopentadienyl derivatives. Specifically, treatment of with alkali metal salts of C5H5 (...

Sulphadiazine, [4-amino-N-(2-pyrimidinyl)-benzenesulfonamide], reacts with (dppe)Au2Cl2 and triethylamine in methanol to produce [(SDAZ)2Au2(dppe)]. The structure of this novel complex was analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In [(SDAZ)2Au2(dppe)] the ligands SDAZ− and dppe have approximately the same bond distances and angles as found for the protonated and free ligand, respectively. ...

Facile ligand substitution is observed when the ruthenium chloride complex [Ru(η(5)-C(9)H(7))Cl(dppe)] (dppe is diphenylphosphanyl ethane) is treated with NaN(3) in refluxing ethanol, yielding the title compound, [Ru(η(5)-C(9)H(7))(N(3))(dppe)] or [Ru(C(9)H(7))(N(3))(C(26)H(24)P(2))]. The Ru(II) atom has a typical piano-stool coordination. The Ru-P bond lengths are 2.284 (2) and 2.235 (2) Å. NM...

Complexes of the general formula W[SNS]2M(dppe) (M = Pd, Pt; [SNS]H3 = bis(2-mercapto-p-tolyl)amine; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) were prepared by combining the corresponding (dppe)MCl2 synthon with W[SNS]2 under reducing conditions. X-ray diffraction studies revealed the formation of a heterobimetallic complex supported by a single thiolate bridging ligand and a short metal-metal b...

attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their diverse structural possibilities and relevance in materials science.1–3 Mononuclear cis complexes, [M(ER)2L2], are useful precursors for the synthesis of biand poly-nuclear complexes.2,3 These complexes are usually derived from simple organochalcogenolate ions. Internally functionalized organochalcogenolates, such as 2-selenopyridina...

The development of well-defined atomically precise heteronuclear nanoclusters passivated by protecting ligands is presently a booming area, owing to the fact that doping well-known homonuclear nanostructures allows fine-tuning their properties. Here, we explore means density functional theory calculations possibility central gold atom in classical [Au13(dppe)5Cl2]3+cluster (1) Os. Although both...

The title centrosymmetric complex, [Cu(2)(CN)(2)(C(26)H(24)P(2))(3)]·2CH(3)OH, consists of two five-membered [Cu(dppe)CN] rings [dppe is 1,2-bis-(diphenyl-phosphino)ethane] bridged by one μ(2)-dppe ligand, and two methanol solvent mol-ecules. The angles around the central metal atom indicate that each Cu(I) atom is located in the center of a distorted tetra-hedron. The coordination sphere of ea...

Reactions of the vinylidene complexes [M([double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)(PP)Cp']PF6 with NH3 readily afford the acyclic amino carbene complexes [M{C(Me)NH2}(PP)Cp']PF6 [M(PP)Cp' = Fe(dppe)Cp, Ru(dppe)Cp, Ru(PPh3)2Cp, Ru(dppe)Cp*]. Crystallographic, spectroscopic and computational data support a description of these complexes in terms of a M-{C(Me)[double bond...
