for a particular ligand L, the C-M-C angle in (C,H,)M(CO),L decreases from Fe to Cr. This is consistent with crystallographic studiesS2on the unsubstituted (C,H,)M(CO), where a similar trend is found. The calculations also suggest that, for a given metal, the $-H, complex has a larger angle than the HSiEt, compound. However, the differences are small, and one is probably justified in concluding that steric effects play a relatively minor role in determining the geometry at the metal center in these compounds. Although the work described in this paper has been carried out in scXe (largely for spectroscopic reasons), less exotic supercritical fluids could also be used as solvents for such reactions. Preliminary experiments" indicate that the same compounds can be generated in supercritical C02 or ethane. Our experiments have taken advantage of just one specific property of supercritical fluids, their miscibility with Hzand N2. Work is now in progress in our laboratory applying some of the other unusual properties of supercritical fluids to organometallic chemistry.

Synthesis and Structural Studies of Some New Rhenium Phosphine Heptahydride Complexes. Evidence for Classical Structures in Solution Xiao-Liang Luo* and Robert H. Crabtree* Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 0651 I. Received July 12, 1989 Abstract: A series of new rhenium phosphine heptahydride complexes ReH7Lz(L2 = a chelating bidentate phosphine) have been synthesized and characterized by IR and 'H, 31P,and I3C NMR spectroscopy. The hydride resonances of ReH7(dppf) (1, dppf = l,l'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene), ReH7(dppb) (2, dppb = 1,4bis(diphenylphaphino)butane), and ReH,((+)diop) (3, (+)-diop = (4S,SS)-4,5-bis((diphenylphosphino)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane) undergo decoalescence upon cooling. The low-temperature hydride patterns suggest classical 9-coordinate tricapped trigonal prismatic structures. Consistent with the classical structures, IH NMR spectra of deuterated ReH7Lzcomplexes show very small and temperature-independent upfield isotope shifts in the hydride region and nochange in 2JHp.Sequential treatment of 1,2, and 3 with NaH and Me2S04 in the presence of Ph3SiH leads to ReH6(SiPh3)Lz(L, = dppf, dppb, (+)-diop). Variable-temperature 'H NMR studies of these silyl derivatives provide further support for the classical formulation of their parent heptahydrides. Theoretical T,(min) values are calculated for some polyhydrides on the basis of different structural models and are compared with the experimental numbers. Precautions to be taken in interpreting T I data are discussed.

Transition-metal dihydrogen complexes1 have attracted much recent attention. Their structural characterization is a particularly challenging problem for which we have previously developed a solution 'H NMR TI method.2, The method is based on the fact ( I ) (a) Crabtree, R.H.; Hamilton, D.G.

that the dipoledipole mechanism dominates spin-lattice relaxation in small diamagnetic molecules in which the protons are close together (I A). As shown by the calculations, the interpretation of TI data of fluxional polyhydride complexes is complicated by several factors. Tl(min) values in the range 55-100 ms at 250 MHz cannot always be taken as an indication of the presence of an $-H2 ligand. Several close nonbonding H-H contacts resulting from the high coordination number can also give low Tl(min) values. On the other hand, the calculations show that a genuinely nonclassical polyhydride may give a T,(min) value that is indistinguishable from the value expected for a classical structure if the q2-Hz ligand undergoes fast rotation and has a long H-H distance. Our results suggest that the structural assignments of fluxional polyhydrides that are based solely on TIvalues may need to be validated by other methods. In cases where the fluxionality of a polyhydride can be frozen out to give several well-separated hydride resonances, deuterium isotope effects on the hydride chemical shift and the 2JpHcoupling constant may help distinguish between classical and nonclassical structures.

Experimental Section General. All manipulations were performed under a dry N2 atmosphere by standard Schlenk techniques. Reagents were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co. THF, Et20, and hexane were distilled from Na/PhzCO. CH2C12was distilled from CaH,.

Abstract: Zeolite RHO has an unusual three-dimensional monolayer surface with a topology that gives equal access to either side of the surface. In the absence of supporting structural subunits, e.g., smaller cages or channels, RHO exhibits atypical framework flexibility with large displacive rearrangements. These have been investigated by in situ X-ray powder diffraction studies of zeolite RHO exchanged with various divalent cations. The unit cell variation (e.g., Ca,H-RHO (400"C), a = 13.970 ( 5 ) A; Sr-RHO (250 "C), a = 14.045 (1) A; Ba-RHO (200 "C), a = 14.184 (2) A; Cd-RHO (350 "C), a = 14.488 (3) A; Na,Cs-RHO (25 "C), a = 15.031 (1) A) is a particularly sensitive function of cation and temperature. Rietveld analysis of neutron diffraction data was used to refine the structures of two samples, Ca,ND4-RH0 and Ca,D-RHO. Ca,D-RHO shows the largest reported deviation from Im3m symmetry (a = 13.9645 ( 7 ) A) for a RHO structure. The calcium atom is located in the center of the double 8-ring, distorting the framework to generate a tetrahedral environment. The in situ X-ray studies of zeolite RHO with both monvalent and divalent cations together with the Rietveld results for the extreme end member of this structural field confirm the largest displacive distortion observed for a molecular sieve framework with a unit cell volume increase of 25% when the calcium ions of Ca,H-RHO are replaced with hydrogen ions to give H-RHO.

Zeolites are crystalline aluminosilicate materials with open framework structures of molecular dimensions. The term 'open framework" indicates the presence of intracrystalline voids-that is, cages and channels or pore openings. It is the shape and size of these pore openings that give a zeolite its molecular sieving ability and hence shape and size selectivity when used as a catalyst, support, or absorbent. For many years, zeolite frameworks have been known to exhibit small distortions.' Recent studies have shown distortions resulting in a change of symmetry on sorption of different solventsh or as a function of temperature.2b The observed distortions and their effects on the pore openings are insignificant when compared to the flexiblity and distortions observed in the framework of zeolite RHO., The flexibility in zeolite R H O offers an oppotunity to introduce a high degree of catalytic selectivity by controlled cation siting a t reaction temperatures. Our studies of the selective synthesis of dimethylamine from methanol and ammonia over zeolite R H O showed it to exhibit a unique selectivity and activity compared to other small-pore zeolites.' This observation led us to further investigate the flexibility of this zeolite framework. 'E.
