    (+)-{1,2-Bis[(2R,5R)-2,5-dimethyl-phospho-lan-1-yl]ethane- κ2 P,P′}(η4-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene) rhodium(I) tetra-fluorido-borate
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2010) Schulz, S.; Drexler, H.-J.; Heller, D.
    The title compound, [Rh(C8H12)(C14H 28P2)]BF4, exhibits a rhodium(I) complex cation with a bidentate bis-phosphine ligand and a bidentate η2, η2-coordinated cyclo-octa-1,5-diene. Together the ligands create a slightly distorted square-planar cordination environment for the Rh(I) atom. There are three mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit and intra-molecular P - Rh - P bite angles of 82.78 (5), 82.97 (6) and 83.09 (5)° are observed. The dihedral angles between the P - Rh - P and the X - Rh - X planes (X is the centroid of a double bond) are 14.7 (1), 14.8 (1) and 15.3 (1)°. The structure exhibits disorder of one cyclo-octa-diene ligand as well as one BF4 anion.

    Perfluoroalkylfullerenes
    (Washington, DC : ACS Publ., 2015) Boltalina, Olga V.; Popov, Alexey A.; Kuvychko, Igor V.; Shustova, Natalia B.; Strauss, Steven H.
    New chemical derivatives that possess the greatest variety of addition patterns than any other class of fullerene derivatives represent an important addition to the existing classes of perfluorocarbons, that is, compounds that are composed only of the two types of atoms, carbon and fluorine. These include aromatic and aliphatic perfluorocarbons such as perfluorodecalin, perfluorononane, hexafluorobenzene, etc., which are important as fluorous solvents used in medicine. The propensity of perfluoroalkylfullerenes (PFAFs) to readily crystallize from organic solutions upon slow evaporation in open air provided a straightforward access to their molecular structures via X-ray crystallography. Another crucial aspect that ensures future success in the characterization of numerous PFAFs of higher fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes is the possibility to apply HPLC methodologies to the separation of product mixtures. PFAFs, especially those of C60 and C70, are unique fullerene derivatives in terms of the number of structurally characterized derivatives with different number of RF groups and different addition patterns.

    Cooperative catalytic methoxycarbonylation of alkenes: Uncovering the role of palladium complexes with hemilabile ligands
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2018) Dong, Kaiwu; Sang, Rui; Wei, Zhihong; Liu, Jie; Dühren, Ricarda; Spannenberg, Anke; Jiao, Haijun; Neumann, Helfried; Jackstell, Ralf; Franke, Robert; Beller, Matthias
    Mechanistic studies of the catalyst [Pd2(dba)3/1,1′-bis(tert-butyl(pyridin-2-yl)phosphanyl)ferrocene, L2] for olefin alkoxycarbonylation reactions are described. X-ray crystallography reveals the coordination of the pyridyl nitrogen atom in L2 to the palladium center of the catalytic intermediates. DFT calculations on the elementary steps of the industrially relevant carbonylation of ethylene (the Lucite α-process) indicate that the protonated pyridyl moiety is formed immediately, which facilitates the formation of the active palladium hydride complex. The insertion of ethylene and CO into this intermediate leads to the corresponding palladium acyl species, which is kinetically reversible. Notably, this key species is stabilized by the hemilabile coordination of the pyridyl nitrogen atom in L2. The rate-determining alcoholysis of the acyl palladium complex is substantially facilitated by metal-ligand cooperation. Specifically, the deprotonation of the alcohol by the built-in base of the ligand allows a facile intramolecular nucleophilic attack on the acyl palladium species concertedly. Kinetic measurements support this mechanistic proposal and show that the rate of the carbonylation step is zero-order dependent on ethylene and CO. Comparing CH3OD and CH3OH as nucleophiles suggests the involvement of (de)protonation in the rate-determining step.

    (tert-Butylimido)bis(η5-cyclopenta-dienyl) pyridinezirconium(IV)
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2010) Kaleta, K.; Arndt, P.; Spannenberg, A.; Rosenthal, U.
    The title compound, [Zr(C5H5)2(C 4H9N)(C5H5N)], was obtained from the reaction of (C5H5)2Zr(py)(η2- Me3SiC2SiMe3) (py is pyridine) and tBuN=C=NtBu alongside the formation of (C 5H5)2Zr(CNtBu)(2-Me 3SiC2SiMe3). The zirconium atom is coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral geometry by two cyclopentadienyl ligands, a pyridine ligand, and a tertbutylimido ligand via a Zr=N double bond. The tertbutyl group is disordered over two positions in a 0.634 (5):0.366 (5) ratio.

    Iodidobis(≠5-penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)titanium(III)
    (Chester : International Union of Crystallography, 2010) Kessler, M.; Spannenberg, A.; Rosenthal, U.
    In the title complex mol-ecule, [Ti(C10H15) 2I], the paramagnetic Ti(III) atom is coordinated by two penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp*) ligands and one iodide ligand. The two Cp*ligands are in a staggered orientation. The coordination geometry at the titanium atom can be described as distorted trigonal-planar.
