The bond distance of Mo-P(phosphenium) is significant1 shorter than t h a t of Mo-P(phosphite) for both complexes: for trans-2a, 2.254 vs 2.495 and, for trans-2j72.238 vs 2.529 indicating a significant double bond character between Mo and P(phosphenium). For both complexes, the P-N bond distances in phosphenium and in phosphite ligands are almost equal, indicating t h a t there is no significant N P(phosphenium) n donation. The role of the amino groups on the phosphenium phosphorus is probably to protect the approach of a nucleophile to phosphenium phosphorus by high pn lone pair density flanking the phosphenium center.

The phosphenium phosphorus can be thus considered to have the same electronic configuration as a carbene carbon or a silylene silicon in their transition-metal complexes. It is known that a carbene carbon and a silylene silicon in transition-metal complexes are very electrophilic and these complexes are stabilized by adduct formation with a Lewis b a ~ e .

The coupling constants observed here indicate that in one isomer two phosphorus ligands are mutually cis (cis isomer) and in the other isomer they are trans (trans isomer). The trans .isomer can be depicted uniquely as shown in eq 2, whereas there are three possible structures (A-C) for the cis isomer.

In order to determine the structure of the cis form, the 13C NMR spectrum of the reaction mixture was measured. The resonance pattern in the CO region gave us the clue. The apparent triplet observed a t 224.39 ppm with Jcp = 18.2 Hz as a main peak can be assigned to the trans isomer. In addition, two doublet of doublets were observed a t 226.05 ppm with JCP= 18.2 Hz and 11.8 Hz and a t 213.89 ppm with Jcp = 57.0 Hz and 16.1 Hz. Therefore, the possibility of C can be ruled out,

because the two CO ligands in C are magnetically equal. Since it has been demonstrated that the phosphenium ligand PN(Me)CHzCH2NMe+ is a stronger n-acceptor than a CO 1igand,lb@the phosphenium ligand is highly likely to prefer situating trans to bpy to trans to CO. Therefore, we propose that the cis isomer formed in the reaction has a structure A rather than B. Recently, Ogino and his co-workers reported the preparative methods and the X-ray structures of donorstabilized bis(sily1ene)complexes for FegiJ and Mn.gk They proposed that these complexes are formed from a n alkoxy-substituted silyl (silylene) complex, which is not detected because of the coordination of the alkoxy oxygen to the silylene silicon.

In the case of cis-2a, the 31PNMR resonances are diagnostic of a phosphite (phosphenium) structure. The cyclization product (which may be referred to as a bis(phosphenium) complex) is not observed.

Muetterties also reported the X-ray structure of [Mo{P(OMe)~}~{P(OMe)2}lPF~, which does not take a cyclization form but has a discrete phosphenium ligand.4a Therefore, a phosphenium ligand seems to have inherently less tendency to take a base-stabilized form, but a silylene ligand has the tendency, even though phosphenium and silylene ligands are isoelectronic. In other words, as shown in Scheme 1,the middle point between the two silicon ligands for alkoxy-substituted silyl (silylene) complexes is the energy minimum position for

with PN(Me)CH2CHzNMe(OMe);i.e., the phosphenium ligand remains intact and CO/L exchange reaction takes place resulting in the cis and trans isomer formation (shown in eq 2). In the case of the Cr complex, only the trans isomer was detected. The reason will be discussed later. The starting phosphenium complex of W ( l e )exists mainly as the fac form. However monitoring the reaction with L by the 31PNMR spectra revealed that the isomerization from fac to mer forms was immediately completed by the addition of L, and then the C O L exchange reaction took place gradually. So, it can be said that, even in the case of the W complex, the reaction of the mer isomer with L eventually takes place. The promotion of the fac-mer isomerization by the addition

of PN(Me)CH&HzNMe(OMe), HOEt, or O T f was observed. The details will be reported elsewhere. Although every reaction shown in eq 2 takes place cleanly to give only cis-2 and transd (in the Cr case, only trans-2d1, several attempts to isolate these products in the solid state were unsuccessful presumably due to their high reactivity. However, it was found that only transda could be isolated as a S03CF3- ( O T f ) salt when l a prepared from fac-[(bpy)(C0)3Mo{PN(Me)CH21

on the 31P NMR data (chemical shifts and coupling constants). A single crystal of trans-2j was obtained; thus, it was subjected to X-ray analysis (vide infra). Cis and Trans Isomers of [(bpy)(CO)zLM(phosphenium)l+. As mentioned above, a meridional isomer of [(bpy)(C0)3M(phosphenium)l+reacts with a trivalent phosphorus compound (L) to give [(bpy)(CO)aLM(phosphenium)l+by CO/L exchange reaction. The product consists of the cis and trans isomers, and their ratio depends on the kind of M, the substituent on the phosphenium phosphorus, and L. Table 2 shows the isomer ratios. Before looking at the ratios, it is pertinent to check whether the two isomers are at equilibrium or not. The isolated trans-2a was redissolved in CH2C12, and the intensity change of resonances in the 31PNMR spectra was monitored. Immediately after the dissolution, trans-2a was the main component, but a small amount of cisSa was already present; the cis-2altrans-2a ratio was 6/94. The amount of cis-2a increased gradually with time at the cost of the amount of trans-2a, and after 48 h the apparent change ceased. The final ratio was 24/76. Therefore, it was confirmed that the trans isomer is in equilibrium with the cis isomer. Although cis-2 and trans-2 are in equilibrium, cis-2 may be formed first in the reaction of 1 with L (Scheme 2); a phosphenium ligand is a strong x acceptor, so three CO ligands in 1, especially two CO ligands mutually trans, are activated by it. Thus, one of the two CO ligands is readily replaced by L to give cis-2, which then isomerizes to trans-2 to reach the equilibrium. It should be noted here that a non-phosphenium complex, [(bpy)-

(C0)3Mo{PN(Me)CH2CHzNMe(OMe)}l, does not undergo CO/L exchange reaction at room temperature. Now, let us consider the isomer ratios shown in Table 2. First, we compare the ratios for 2a, 2 d , and 2e t o elucidate the effect of a central metal on the equilibrium. The ratios for Mo (24176) and for W (22178) are almost equal, whereas the cis isomer for Cr was not detected. It is suggested that Cr, having a smaller radius than Mo or W (Cr = 1.25 A, Mo = 1.36 A, and W = 1.37 A), is too small to accept the two large ligands in the cis configuration. The P-P coupling constant for the Cr complex (transdd)is 91.6 Hz, whereas those for the Mo

It is suggested that the phosphite and/or the phosphenium may not closely approach the small Cr to make a sufficient bond due to the steric repulsion with the other ligands (bpy and two CO ligands) on the Cr. The ratio of 7/93 for 2c can be rationalized also by steric effects, if PPh3 is assumed to be bulkier than $N(Me)CH2CH2NMe(OMe). bpy and phosphite ligands serve as o-donors and also a weak n-acceptors, and the n-acidity is weaker for bpy than for phosphite.6cJ0 Therefore, the cis form of 2, where a phosphenium ligand being a strong n acid is trans to bpy, is electronically favored over the trans form, where a phosphenium ligand is trans to phosphite. This is embodied by the JPW values of 2e. JPW is 518.8 Hz for trans-2e but is 589.0 Hz for cis-2e, indicating that the phosphenium ligand is bonded more strongly to W for the cis form than for the trans form. n-Acidity of a phosphenium ligand seems stronger for 2 f than for 2a, so it is expected that the cisltrans ratio is greater for 2 f than 2a. Actually the equilibrium of 2 f is shifted toward the cis form. 2g has the phosphenium ligand electronically similar to that of 2 f , but cis2 g has not been detected. This may come from the bulkiness of a t-Bu group. cis-2j has also not been detected presumably for the same reason. The equilibrium is on a critical balance, but basically it can be said that the cis form is electronically and the trans form is sterically favored.

the selected bond distances and angles for trans-2wOTf and trans-2iOTf.CH2Cl2 are listed in Tables 3-5. The final atomic coordinates for non-hydrogen atoms are presented in Tables 6 and 7. Both complexes have pseudooctahedral geometries around the Mo atom, and two phosphorus atoms are coordinated to the Mo in mutually trans positions. The most interesting structural feature is that the bond distance of Mo-P(phosphenium) is significantly shorter than that of Mo-P(phosphite) for both complexes: for transda, Mo-P(phosphenium) = 2.254 A, Mo-P(phosphite) = 2.495 A; for trans-2j, Mo-P(phosphenium) =

2.238 A,Mo-P(phosphite1 = 2.529 A. Normal Mo-P dative bond distances are reported to fall in the range 2.40-2.57 A.2 The observation that the Mo-P(phosphenium) bond is about 10% shorter than the Mo-P dative bond is consistent with double bond character in the phosphenium complex. Another structural feature of interest is concerned with the P-N bond distance. For both trans-2a and trans-2j, the P-N bond distances (A)in phosphenium and in phosphite ligands are almost equal: 1.642 (PlN l l ) , 1.644 (Pl-N12), 1.648 (P2-N21), and 1.662 (P2N22) for transda and 1.65 (Pl-N11) and 1.63 (P2N21) for trans-2j. This observation gives an insight into the role of an amino group on a phosphenium phosphorus (vide infra). Although the geometry around the coordinating phosphite phosphorus is pseudotetrahedral, the geometry around the phosphenium phosphorus is planar: the sum of angles at the phosphorus is 358.0' for trans-2a and 359.1' for trans-2j. For nitrogen atoms both in phosphenium and in phosphite ligands, the trigonal-planar geometry is indicated: the s u m of angles is 359.8' (Nll), 359.9' (N12), 359.9' (N211, and 359.3' (N22) for trans2a and 359.2' (N11) and 359.0' (N21) for trans-2j. The orientation of the phosphenium ligand is interleastesting. With trans-2a the Mo-Pl-Nll-Nl2 squares mean plane bisects the Cl-Mo-N32 and C2Mo-N31 angles, making a bisect angle of 47.07' with the N31-Mo-C1 vector, and with trans-2j the Mo-P1N l l - 0 1 1 least-squares mean plane bisects the C1Mo-C2 and N31-Mo-N32 angles, making a bisect angle of 38.85' with the N31-Mo-C1 vector.

Two cationic phosphenium complexes of transition metals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction so far.4a,5aOne of them is a Mo complex, [Mo(P(0Me)3}~{P(OMe)2}]PF64ain which the phosphenium ligand is oriented in the similar way; the least-squares mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 23.80' with that determined by Mo and four phosphorus atoms involving the phosphenium phosphorus. Muetterties mentioned that the phosphenium is oriented in such a way as to minimize repulsion with the trimethyl phosphite liga n d ~ In . ~the ~ case of trans-2a and trans-%,no significant steric repulsion exists between the phosphenium ligand and equatorial ligands (bpy (phen) and 2 CO ligands). So the phosphenium orientation found here seems to be inherent. The X-ray structure of trans-2j implies intramolecular CH-n interaction. The distance between C16 and the least-squares mean plane of the phen ring is 3.133 A, which is significantly shorter than the sum of the C-H bond distance (1.09 the van der Waals radius of H (1.20 and that of an aromatic ring (1.7 A).11 The CH-n interaction may be the reason for the different orientation (about 90') of the phosphenium ligands in trans-2a and in trans-2j. Double-Bond Character between a Transition Metal and a Phosphenium Phosphorus. A cationic phosphenium complex has been described in the resonance forms shown in Scheme 3. R2 corresponds to a transition-metal phosphenium complex where a plus charge is located on the phosphorus and a phosphenium cation coordinates to a transition metal through its lone pair. The bond between M and P in R2 can be seen as a dative bond. If a sufficient electron density flows from the filled d orbital of a transition metal into the vacant p orbital on the phosphorus, the plus charge would be located on a transition metal and the M-P bond would become a double bond (Rl). The n-electron donation to the empty p orbital of the phosphorus may occur not only from M but also from the two other substituents on the phosphorus (X and Y). These features are depicted in R3 and RA. In relation t o this study, it is useful to note that Arduengo and co-workers recently reported the preparation of the first isolable crystalline carbene (imidazol2-ylidene) and claimed that there is no convincing

For example, the Mo-P bond distances become shorter in the order 2.254 A (trans-2a),2.238 A (trans-2j))and 2.229 A ([Mo{(P(OMe)~}~(P(OMe)z)l+), which corresponds to the replacement of the substituent atoms on the phosphenium phosphorus from N to 0. And the P-P coupling constants become greater on going from 2a to 2f and to 2h for both the cis and trans isomers, cis-2a (42.7 Hz) cis9f (54.9 Hz) cis9h (58.0 Hz), and trans-2a (274.7 Hz) trans-2f (326.6 Hz) trans2h (369.2 Hz). These tendencies indicate that an 0-substituent rather than an N-substituent makes an M-P(phosphenium) double bond stronger. The reason may come from the greater electronegativity of 0 than that of N. That is, the o-interaction, not n-interaction, between phosphenium phosphorus and its substituents (X and Y in Scheme 3) may affect the M-P double-bond character to some extent.

Experimental Section General Remarks. All reactions were carried out under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen by using Schlenk tube techniques. All solvents were purified by distillation: toluene, p-xylene, and hexane were distilled from sodium metal, and CH2Clz and CH3CN were distilled from P z O ~ All . solvents were stored under a nitrogen atmosphere. BF3.OEt2 and TMSOTf ld,6cle,6cand were distilled prior to use. Complexes la,6b,c li,6bwere prepared by the literature methods. IR spectra (cm-') were recorded on a Shimadzu FTIR-8100 spectrometer. JEOL PMX-60, EX-270, and EX-400 instruments were used to obtain 'H, 13C,and 31PNMR spectra. 'H and 13C NMR data were referenced to (CH&Si, and 31PNMR data were referenced to 85% H3P04. Preparation of the 2a-e and 2i Complexes. A solution of the phosphenium complex (la, Id, le, l i ) in CHzClz (10 mL) was cooled to -78 "C, and an equimolar amount of the corresponding phosphite or phosphine was added.
