    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).

    3,3′-Dimethyl-1,1′-methyl­enediimidazolium tetra­bromido­cobaltate(II)
    (Chester : IUCr, 2018) Peppel, Tim; Spannenberg, Anke
    The title compound, (C9H14N4)[CoBr4], was obtained as single crystals directly in very low yield as a side product in the reaction of 1,1′-bis­(1-methyl­imidazolium)acetate bromide and CoBr2. The title compound consists of an imidazolium-based dication and a tetra­bromido­cobaltate(II) complex anion, which are connected via C—H...Br inter­actions in the crystal. The dihedral angle between the imidazolium rings in the cation is 72.89 (16)°. The CoII ion in the anion is coordinated tetra­hedrally by four bromide ligands [Co—Br = 2.4025 (5)–2.4091 (5) Å and Br—Co—Br = 106.224 (17)–113.893 (17)°]. The compound exhibits a high melting point (>300°C) and is a light-blue solid under ambient conditions.

    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.

    The title compound, C24H22N2O2P2, contains a diphosphazane backbone, as well as a hydrazine entity. The P—N—P diphosphazane unit and the N-amine N atom are almost coplanar, and the O atoms of the Ph2P(O) units are oriented trans to each other with respect to the P...P axis. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules are linked into dimers by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming rings of graph-set motif R22(10).

    Crystal structure of diethyl (E)-2-[(benzofuran-2-yl)methylidene]succinate
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Schirmer, Marie-Luis; Spannenberg, Anke; Werner, Thomas
    The title compound, C17H18O5, was synthesized by a base-free catalytic Wittig reaction. The mol­ecule consists of a diethyl itaconate unit, which is connected via the C=C double bond to a benzo­furan moiety. The benzo­furan ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) forms dihedral angles of 79.58 (4) and 12.12 (10)° with the mean planes through the cis and trans eth­oxy­carbonyl groups, respectively. An intra­molecular C-H...O hydrogen bond involving the O atom of the benzo­furan moiety is observed. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into ribbons running parallel to the b axis by C-H...O hydrogen bonds.

    Hydrolysis Stability of Bidentate Phosphites Utilized as Modifying Ligands in the Rh-Catalyzed n-Regioselective Hydroformylation of Olefins
    (Washington, DC : ACS, 2016) Zhang, Baoxin; Jiao, Haijun; Michalik, Dirk; Kloß, Svenja; Deter, Lisa Marie; Selent, Detlef; Spannenberg, Anke; Franke, Robert; Börner, Armin
    The stability of ligands and catalysts is an almost neglected issue in homogeneous catalysis, but it is crucial for successful application of this methodology in technical scale. We have studied the effect of water on phosphites, which are the most applied cocatalysts in the n-regioselective homogeneous Rh-catalyzed hydroformylation of olefins. The stability of the bidentate nonsymmetrical diphosphite L1, as well as its two monophosphite constituents L2 and L3, toward hydrolysis was investigated by means of in situ NMR spectroscopy under similar conditions as applied in industry. Hydrolysis pathways, intermediates, and kinetics were clarified. DFT calculations were used to support the experimentally found data. The acylphosphite unit L2, which reacts with water in an unselective manner, was proven to be much less stable than the phenolphosphite L3. The stability of the bidentate ligand L1 can be therefore mainly attributed to its phenolphosphite moiety. With an excess of water, the hydrolysis of L1 and L2 as well as their Rh-complexes is first-order with respect to the phosphite. Surprisingly, coordination to Rh significantly stabilizes the monodentate ligand L2, while in strong contrast, the bidentate ligand L1 decomposes faster in the Rh complex. NMR spectroscopy provided evidence for the existence of species from decomposition of phosphites, which can likewise coordinate as ligands to the metal. Electron-withdrawing groups in the periphery of the acylphosphite moiety decrease the stability of L1, whereas 3,5-disubstituted salicylic acid derivatives with bulky groups showed superior stability. These modifications of L1 also give rise to different catalytic performances in the n-regioselective hydroformylation of n-octenes and 2-pentene, from which the 3,5-di-t-butyl-substituted ligand offered a higher n-regioselectivity accompanied by a lowering of the reaction rate in comparison to the parent ligand L1.

    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.

    Crystal structure of (E)-dodec-2-enoic acid
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2015) Sonneck, Marcel; Peppel, Tim; Spannenberg, Anke; Wohlrab, Sebastian
    The crystal structure of (E)-dodec-2-enoic acid, C12H22O2, an [alpha],[beta]-unsaturated carb­oxy­lic acid with a melting point (295 K) near room temperature, is characterized by carb­oxy­lic acid inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H...O hydrogen bonds. The carb­oxy­lic acid group and the following three carbon atoms of the chain of the (E)-dodec-2-enoic acid mol­ecule lie almost in one plane (r.m.s. deviation for the four C atoms and two O atoms = 0.012 Å), whereas the remaining carbon atoms of the hydro­carbon chain adopt a nearly fully staggered conformation [moduli of torsion angles vary from 174.01 (13) to 179.97 (13)°].
