- ItemAdvantages of Group 4 Metallocene Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene Complexes as Metallocene Sources Towards Other Synthetically used Systems(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH-Verl., 2019) Rosenthal, UweActive species for synthetic and catalytic applications are formed from well defined complexes or mixtures of compounds. For group 4 metallocenes, three pathways for the formation of the reactive complex fragment [Cp′2M] are known: (i) reductive mixtures and well defined complexes which are able to form the metallocene fragments either by (ii) addition or (iii) substitution reactions. In this account for each of theses systems (i)–(iii) a prominent example will be discussed in detail, (i) the Negishi reagent Cp2ZrCl2/n-BuLi, (ii) bis(η5 : η1-pentafulvene) complexes and (iii) metallocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene complexes, to show the advantages and the disadvantages for each of these methods for synthetic applications. This account summarizes some main advantages of group 4 metallocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene complexes as metallocene generating agents over other synthetically used systems. For each of the special purposes, all described systems have advantages as well as disadvantages. The aim of this overview is to help synthetic chemists in selecting the most effective system on the basis of [Cp′2M] (M=Ti, Zr) for synthetic or catalytic puposes. ©2019 The Authors.

- ItemCarbon Monoxide Coupling Reactions: A New Concept for the Formation of Hexahydroxybenzene(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2020) Rosenthal, UweFor linear and cyclic coupling reactions of CO, among other products, the formation of the hexapotassium salt of hexahydroxybenzene is of particular interesting. The interaction of metallic potassium and CO offers, via the assumed K[OC≡CO]K as the result of several carbon monoxide coupling reactions, the formation of C6(OK)6 among other products. To date, only speculations exist about the reaction pathway for these products, which were first described by Liebig in 1834. A novel concept is suggested here, which consists of the single steps (i) reductive coupling of CO, (ii) formation of dihetero-metallacyclopentynes (cis-2,5-diheterobutatriene as formal ethylenedione O=C=C=O complexes), (iii) formation of its dinuclear 1-metalla-2,5-dioxo-cyclopentyne complexes by external coordination of the triple bond, (iv) insertion of CO into the M−C bond of the formed metallacyclopropene, and (v) the reductive elimination of C6(OK)6. The novel aspect of this concept is the formation of dihetero-metallacyclopentynes (in analogy to the well characterized all-C-metallacyclopentynes), which have not been considered in the mechanism of reductive CO coupling reactions. It is expected that the presence of transition-metal impurities would promote the reaction. © 2020 The Authors. Published by Wiley-VCH GmbH
- ItemCrystal structure of bis(η5-cyclopenta-dienyl)(1,4-di-tert-butylbuta-1-en-3-yn-1-yl) zirconium(IV) μ2-hydroxido-bis[tris-(pentafluorophenyl) borate](Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Burlakov, Vladimir V.; Spannenberg, Anke; Arndt, Perdita; Rosenthal, UweAlkyl zirconocene cations have been of considerable interest as reactive species in many polymerization processes. In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zr(C12H19)(C5H5)2](C36HB2F30O), the [Zr(C5H5)2((t-Bu)C=C(H)-C2(t-Bu))]+ cation displays a buta-1-en-3-yne ligand side-on coordinated to a typical bent zirconocene [centroid(cp)-Zr-centroid(cp) = 131.4 (3)°, Zr-C(buta-1-en-3-yne) = 2.255 (3), 2.597 (3) and 2.452 (2) Å]. In the [HO(B(C6F5)3)2]- anion, intramolecular O-H...F hydrogen bonds are observed. One tert-butyl group in the complex cation is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies 0.701(4):0.299(4).
- ItemCrystal structure of bis(η5-cyclopenta-dienyl)(2, 3-diethylbutane-1, 4-diyl)-hafnium(IV)(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Burlakov, Vladimir V.; Baumann, Wolfgang; Arndt, Perdita; Spannenberg, Anke; Rosenthal, UweThe title compound, [Hf(C5H5)2(C8H16)], proves a structural motif of hafnacyclopentane besides the coordination of two cyclopentadienyl ligands in an [eta]5-fashion. The hafnacyclopentane ring has a twist conformation and is substituted by two ethyl groups in the [beta],[beta]'-positions, which are trans orientated to each other. One cyclopentadienyl ring and one ethyl group are each disordered over two positions with site-occupancy ratios of 0.679 (15):0.321 (15) and 0.702 (18):0.298 (18), respectively.
- ItemCrystal structure of bis{μ2-[(2-iminocyclopentylidene)methylidene]azanido-κ2 N:N'}bis[(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium(IV)] hexane monosolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Becker, Lisanne; Spannenberg, Anke; Arndt, Perdita; Rosenthal, UweThe title compound, [Zr2(C10H15)4(C6H6N2)2]·C6H14, was obtained by the stoichiometric reaction of adiponitrile with [Zr(C10H15)2([eta]2-Me3SiC2SiMe3)]. Intramolecular nitrile-nitrile couplings and deprotonation of the substrate produced the (1-imino-2-enimino)cyclopentane ligand, which functions as a five-membered bridge between the two metal atoms. The ZrIV atom exhibits a distorted tetrahedral coordination sphere defined by two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands, by the imino unit of one (1-imino-2-enimino)cyclopentane and by the enimino unit of the second (1-imino-2-enimino)cyclopentane. The cyclopentane ring of the ligand shows an envelope conformation. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex and one half of the hexane solvent molecule, both being completed by the application of inversion symmetry. One of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligands is disordered over two sets of sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.8111 (3):0.189 (3). In the crystal, the complex molecules are packed into rods extending along [100], with the solvent molecules located in between. The rods are arranged in a distorted hexagonal packing.
- ItemCrystal structure of di-n-butylbis([eta]5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)hafnium(IV)(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Arndt, Perdita; Schubert,Kathleen; Burlakov, Vladimir V.; Spannenberg, Anke; Rosenthal, UweThe crystal structure of the title compound, [Hf(C10H15)2(C4H9)2], reveals two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The diffraction experiment was performed with a racemically twinned crystal showing a 0.529 (5):0.471 (5) component ratio. Each HfIV atom is coordinated by two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl and two n-butyl ligands in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, with the cyclopentadienyl rings inclined to one another by 45.11 (15) and 45.37 (16)°. In contrast to the isostructural di(n-butyl)bis([eta]5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium(IV) complex with a noticeable difference in the Zr-butyl bonding, the Hf-Cbutyl bond lengths differ from each other by no more than 0.039 (3) Å.
- ItemDi-μ-chlorido-bis({4-[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]-6-chloro-2,2,8,8-tetramethyl-5,7-bis(trimethylsilyl)-3,5,7-triaza-4,6-diphospha-2,8-disilanon-3-en-4-ido-κ2P,P′}palladium(II)) diethyl ether disolvate(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2016) Höhne, Martha; Müller, Bernd H.; Spannenberg, Anke; Rosenthal, UweThe title compound, [Pd2(C18H54Cl2N4P2Si6)2Cl2]·2C4H10O, features a dinuclear chloride-bridged palladium complex bearing two equivalents of the novel monoanionic mixed valent (λ3-P)—N—(λ5-P) ligand. A metal catalyzed coupling of two aminoiminophosphines and a shift of one chlorine from the metal to the phosphorus results in the (λ3-P)—N—(λ5-P) ligand. The molecule contains a planar bimetallic Pd2Cl2 core with a crystallographic centre of inversion at the mid-point of the Pd⋯Pd line. The Pd atoms are in a distorted square-planar arrangement, where the P/Pd/P and Cl/Pd/Cl planes are twisted with respect to each other by a dihedral angle of 7.57 (4)°. The P—Pd—P bite angle is 71.380 (18)°. Intramolecular C—H⋯Cl interactions are observed. In the crystal, the diethyl ether solvent molecule is disordered over two sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.788 (5):0.212 (5).
- ItemPNPN-H in Comparison to other PNP, PNPN and NPNPN Ligands for the Chromium Catalyzed Selective Ethylene Oligomerization(Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2019) Rosenthal, UweMany examples exist for the chromium catalyzed selective ethylene oligomerization in which the influence of ligands is essential for the formation of products. Regarding the tri- and tetramerization to 1-hexene or 1-octene mostly PNP ligands are responsible for the tetra- and some of such modified ligands for the trimerization. A very special case in these reactions are PNPN−H ligands, showing in most cases highly selective trimerization of ethylene to 1-hexene. In this review all existing published information about these PNPN−H ligands is accumulated and compared to some other related PNP, PNPN and NPNPN ligands in the chromium catalyzed selective ethylene oligomerization with respect to the switch from tetra- to trimerization and back by different substituent pattern of PNP ligand. Mechanistic information and arguments are collected to explain the switch from tetra- to trimerization and back by substitution of functional groups in classical PNP to PNPN−H ligands as a result of mono- and dinuclear catalytic species. © 2019 The Authors.

- ItemA second polymorph of 3,4-bis(6-bromopyridin-3-yl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2016) Becker, Lisanne; Altenburger, Kai; Spannenberg, Anke; Arndt, Perdita; Rosenthal, UweThe title compound, C12H6Br2N4S, a second polymorph in the triclinic space group P-1, is presented. As in the earlier reported monoclinic polymorph in the space group C2/c [Becker et al. (2016[Becker, L., Reiss, F., Altenburger, K., Spannenberg, A., Arndt, P., Jiao, H. & Rosenthal, U. (2016). Chem. Eur. J. In the press. doi: 10.1002/chem.201601337.]). Chem. Eur. J. In the press], the thiadiazole ring is planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.004 Å. The five-membered ring is tilted with respect to the two pyridyl substituents by 23.16 (7) and 49.47 (9)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by a weak non-bonding Br⋯N interaction [3.056 (3) Å]. Furthermore, a column of molecules is established along the b axis by π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7014 (16) and 3.5934 (15) Å]. Additionally, a short intermolecular Br⋯Br contact [3.3791 (6) Å] and Br⋯π-aryl contacts [3.6815 (11)–3.7659 (12) Å] towards the thiadiazole and pyridine rings are found.
- ItemSynthesis and crystallographic characterization of [2,2-bis(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)-3,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-zirconafuran-5-one-κO5]triisobutylaluminium(Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2018-3-27) Burlakov, Vladimir V.; Bogdanov, Vyacheslav S.; Arndt, Perdita; Spannenberg, Anke; Rosenthal, Uwe; Beweries, Torsten; Shur, Vladimir B.The crystal structure of the title zwitterionic zirconocene complex containing a furanone unit, [AlZr(C10H15)2(C4H9)3(C9H18O2Si2)], is reported. On reacting a zirconafuranone with two equivalents of HAl(i-Bu)2, disproportionation of the Lewis acid results in the formation of a triisobutylaluminium fragment, Al(i-Bu)3, which coordinates to the exocyclic carbonyl O atom of the zirconafuranone ring. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that the zirconafuranone ring remains intact with coordination of the aluminium to the exocyclic O atom. One of the i-butyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.731 (3):0.269 (3).

The Li atom is coordinated by one equivalent tetramethylethylenediamine. In the crystal, molecules are linked via weak C—H...O interactions, forming a chain along the b-axis direction.
- ItemTetracarbonyl[N-(diphenylphosphanyl-κP)-N,N′-diisopropyl-P-phenylphosphorus diamide-κP]molybdenum(0) with an unknown solvent(Chester : IUCr, 2018) Höhne, Martha; Gongoll, Marc; Spannenberg, Anke; Müller, Bernd H.; Peulecke, Normen; Rosenthal, UweThe title complex, [Mo(C24H30N2P2)(CO)4], contains a molybdenum centre bearing a P,P′-cis-chelating Ph2PN(iPr)P(Ph)NH(iPr) and four carbonyl ligands in a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. This results in a nearly planar four-membered metallacycle. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form layers parallel to the ac plane. For the final refinement, the contributions of disordered solvent molecules were removed from the diffraction data with SQUEEZE in PLATON [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18]. The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take into account the unknown solvent molecule(s).
