Intermediates in the Associative Phosphine Substitution Reaction of ($-C,H,)Re(CO), Charles P. Casey,' Joseph M. O'Connor, William D. Jones, and Kenneth J. Haller Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Received November 8. 1982

The reaction of (q5-C5H5)Re(C0),,11, with P(CH3), produces ~~C-(~'-C~H~)R~(CO),[P(CH~)~]~, 12. The reaction is reversible with Keq = 19 M-2 at 51 "C in benzene. At longer reaction times, the equilibrium mixture of 11 and 12 is converted to (qS-C5H5)Re(C0),[P(CH3),],13. The structure of 12 was determined by X-ray crystallography: monoclinic space group P2'/n, with unit-cell constants a = 8.011 (5) A, b = 14.042 (3) A, c = 16.349 (3) A, 0 = 92.08 (2)O, and 2 = 4.

In 1965, Basolo and Schuster-Woldan noted that the rate of reaction between P(C6H5)3and the coordinatively saturated (q5-C5H5)Rh(C0)2to give (q5-C5H5)Rh(CO)[P(c6H5)3]was unusually fast and depended on the concentration of both the rhodium complex and phosphine.' To explain this associative substitution at a formally coordinatively saturated metal center, they proposed that slippage of the cyclopentadiene ring occurs as phosphine attacks to produce the intermediate shown.

Recently we found structural evidence for cyclopentadiene ring slippage during phosphine substitution reactions a t coordinatively saturated metal centers. The reactions of (q5-C5H5)Re(NO)(CO)(CH3), 1, with 2 equiv of P(CH3)3 a t 25 "C yields the bis(phosphine) adduct (q1-C5H5)Re(NO)(CO)(CH3)[P(CH3)3]2, 2, in which the q5-C5H5ring has slipped all the way to an 7'-C5H5 configuration.2 Upon heating to 90 OC, 1 and 2 equilibrate and are converted to a mixture of phosphine-substituted methyl compound 3 and the phosphine-substituted acetyl compound 4. The rate of formation of 2 depends on the concentration of both 1 and P(CH3), and thus requires a mono(phosphine) adduct 5 as an intermediate. Two possible 18-electron structures for such an intermediate are an q3-C$15linear nitrosyl compound or an v5-C5H5bent nitrosyl compound.

(t15-C5H5)Re(C0)2[P(CH3)31, 13.

Results Synthesis of ~~C-(~'-C~H~)R~(CO),[P(CH~)~]~. Reaction of (q5-C5H5)Re(C0),,11, with 3.3 M P(CH3)3for 2.5 days in hexane at 64 "C led to the precipitation of light yellow crystals of ~~c-(~'-C~H~)R~(CO)~[P(CH~)~]~, 12, in 85% yield. The hexane solution contained only unreacted 11 and none of the phosphine substitution product (q5C5H5)Re(C0),[P(CH3),],13. Elemental analysis, NMR, and IR data established that 12 was an 9'-C5H5 bis(phosphine) adduct and X-ray analysis defined the cis geometry of the phosphine ligands.

able at room temperature and decompose to starting material and q5-C5H5mono(phosphine) adducts. The reactions of 6 and 7 with P(CH3)3also show second-order kinetics and require a mono(phosphine) intermediate 10. Since both 6 and 7 contain a nitrosyl ligand, there are again two possible 18-electron formulations for intermediate 10: an q3-C5H5linear nitrosyl compound and an v5-C5H5bent nitrosyl compound. To determine whether a nitrosyl ligand is required for formation of 7'-cyclopentadienyl bis(phosphine) adducts, we have studied the reaction of P(CH3), with the nonnitrosyl-containingcompound (q5-C5H5)Re(C0),,11. Here we report that 11 reach with P(CH3)3to give a very stable 71'-C5H5 bis(phosphine) adduct (q'-C5H5)Re(CO),[P(CH3),I2,12, which we have characterized by spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. 11 and 12 were found to equilibrate more rapidly than they were converted to

The 'H NMR of 12 in benzene-d6 consists of a triplet a t b 6.15 ( J P=~1.5 Hz, 5 H) and a multiplet at 6 1.04 (18 H). The triplet is assigned to the fluxional 77'-C5H5 group of 12; we have been unable to freeze out the fluxionality of the v1-C5H5group of 12 even a t -87 O C in acetone-d6. (3) Caaey, C. P.;Jones, W.

The Phosphine Substitution Reaction of (q5-C&5)Re(C0)5 preparation of 13 by prolonged photolysis (366 nm) of 11 and P(CH3)3in benzene-de a t 40 "C gave only 32% 13 in addition to 28% 11 after 15 days. Equilibration of 11 and 12. The reversibility of the formation of 12 was demonstrated by heating a dilute solution of 12 (0.073 M) in benzene-d, a t 85 "C in a sealed NMR tube in the probe of a Bruker 270-MHz NMR spectrometer. 12 was completely converted to (qS-C5H5)Re(C0)3, 11, and P(CH& upon heating a t 85 "C for 3 h; none ( tungsten compound 7 > rhenium nitrosyl methyl compound 1 > rhenium carbonyl compound 1 l., The similarity of all these relative rate sequences is readily explained since all three reactions are proposed to proceed via the same v3-C6H5mono(phosphine) intermediate. The rate sequence is therefore providing information about the ease of formation of the q3-CsH5intermediate in the various systems. In spite of the fact that (q1-C6H6)Re(CO)(NO)(CH3) [P(CH3)3]2,2,reverts to (q6-C6H,)Re(CO)(NO)(CH3), 1, much more rapidly than (q1-CaH6)Re(Co)3[P(cH3)3]2, 12,revert9 to 11' the equilibrium constant for formation of 2 a t 50 "C (74 M-2) is somewhat larger than the equilibrium constant for formation of 12 (19 Mm2)at the same temperature. No direct comparison of equilibrium constants for the molybdenum and tungsten compounds 6 and 7 is possible since their q'-C& bis(phosphine) adducts are kinetically stable only at low temperatures. However, the fact that 8 and 9 were observable only at high P(CH& concentrations and at low temperature where adduct formation should be more favorable entropically suggests that the formation of adducts 8 and 9 is less thermodynamically favorable than formation of rhenium adducts 2 and 12.

These parameters were determined from a least-squaresrefinement utilizing the setting angles of 62 accurately centered reflections from diverse regions of reciprocal space collected at *28 (1281 = 35"). The unit cell volume of 1837.9 A3 led to a calculated density of 1.62 g/cm3 for four formula units of RePzO3Cl4HZ3 per unit cell. A total of 4206 unique intensity data with (sin 8)/X I0.649 A-1 were collected by using a 8-28 step-scan technique with a scan range of 0.65" below 28(Mo KaJ to 0.65" above 28(Mo Ka2)and a variable scan rate (2.0-24.0°/min). Throughout data collection four standard reflections from diverse regions of reciprocal space were monitored every 50 reflections. There were no systematic variations of the intensities of the standard reflections during the time required to collect the data. The intensity data were reduced and standard deviations calculated using methods similar to those described previously.10 Absorption corrections were applied to the data by using an empirical psi curve method (k = 64.9 cm-'). Structure Solution and Refinement. The structure was solved by the standard heavy-atom method from the Patterson map. The rest of the non-hydrogen atoms were located from a series of electron density difference maps. The full-matrix least-squares refinement of the model was based on F, and used the 2712 data with F, > 3a(F0). Atomic form factors for the non-hydrogen atoms were taken from Cromer and Waber" and that for hydrogen from Stewart, Davidson, and Simpson.12 An electron density difference map calculated after isotropic refinement of the non-hydrogen atoms had converged revealed reasonablepositions for most of the hydrogen atoms. AU hydrogen atoms were included in the remaining cycles of refinement as fixed contributors in idealized positions ( ~ C H= 0.95 A; BH = Bc + 1.0). In the final cycles of refinement all non-hydrogen atoms were assumed to vibrate anisotropically. At convergence the discrepancy indices were R1 = xllFol - IFcll/CIFol = 0.045 and Rz = [x.w(lFol- lFc1)2/~w(Fo)2]1/2 = 0,054. The estimated standard deviation of an observation of unit weight was 1.45 with a final data/variable ratio of 15.0. The final electron density difference map had one high peak (about 33% of a typical carbon atom peak) associated with the Re atom. Final atomic coordinates (Table 11),a table of the anisotropic thermal parameters (Table 111),a table of the fixed hydrogen atom parameters (Table IV), and a listing of observed and calculated structure factors ( X l O ) are available as supplementary material.
