    Crystal 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, Uwe
    The 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.

    Tetra­carbon­yl[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, Uwe
    The 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).

    Crystal 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, Uwe
    The 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.

    Crystal 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, Uwe
    The 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.

    (Chester : IUCr, 2018) Höhne, Martha; Spannenberg, Anke; Müller, Bernd H.; Peulecke, Normen; Rosenthal, Uwe
    The title complex, [LiMo(C6H16N2)(C24H29N2P2)(CO)4], contains a distorted octa­hedrally coordinated molybdenum centre bearing a li­thia­ted P,P′-cis-chelating PNPN ligand, which results in a nearly planar four-membered metallacycle. 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.

    A 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, Uwe
    The 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.

    PNPN-H in Comparison to other PNP, PNPN and NPNPN Ligands for the Chromium Catalyzed Selective Ethylene Oligomerization
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2019) Rosenthal, Uwe
    Many 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.

    Advantages of Group 4 Metallocene Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene Complexes as Metallocene Sources Towards Other Synthetically used Systems
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH-Verl., 2019) Rosenthal, Uwe
    Active 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.
