The rhodium-hydrido complex RhH(PPh3)d (Ph = C&) in toluene reacts with carbon dioxide at room temperature to give, on crystallization from benzene, red crystals of Rh2(C03)(PPh3) j.CgH6, as characterized by diffraction methods. One mole of C 0 2 per mole of the complex is evolved on thermolysis and acidolysis of thecomplex and by treatment with methyl iodide and triphenyl phosphite. The compound crystallizes in space group Cl1-P1with four formula units in the cell. The unit cell has dimensions of a = 22.518 (9) A,b = 28.051 (12) A,c = 12.841 (7) A,cy = 96.12 (3)O, /3 = 97.91 (3)O, y = 92.66 (3)O, and V = 7972 A3. The observed density of 1.39 (1) g ~ m is- in~good agreement with that of 1.38 g ~ m calculated - ~ for four Rh2(CO3)(PPh3)5.C& formula units per cell. There are thus two independent dimeric molecules in the cell. Refinement by full-matrix least-squares methods using 12330 observations for which Fo2 L 3u(FO2)yielded a conventional agreement index of 0.079. Each independent molecule of the compound was found to consist of two Rh atoms, both having square-planar coordination and linked by a planar carbonato ligand. Two oxygen atoms of the carbonate group are coordinated to one Rh atom while the remaining carbonato oxygen atom is bound to the second Rh atom. Triphenylphosphine ligands fill out the four-coordinate geometry of each Rh atom. The bidentate coordination of the carbonato group to the metal atom creates a four-membered ring. The average 0-C-0 angle involved in this ring is 115.9’, a slight decrease from the 120° value found in the free carbonate ion. The 0-Rh-0 angle of the four-membered ring averages 62.6’. No trend in the carbonato group C - 0 bond lengths is evident, the average value being 1.29 A. The 31P(1HJ NMR spectrum of the complex in benzene is compatible with the unsymmetrical binuclear structure consisting of two rhodium(1) nuclei coordinated respectively with two and three triphenylphosphine ligands, as found in the solid state.

Introduction Recently much attention has been focused on the interaction of carbon dioxide with transition metal compounds as a step toward an efficient catalytic system of carbon dioxide fixation. For example, insertions of C 0 2 into metal-hydr~gen,~-~ - c a r b ~ n , ~ --nitrogen,14 l~ and -oxygen15-17 bonds are known as well as the formation of CO2-coordinated complexes.10-12318-23Reactions of carbon dioxide with some rhodium complexes have been reported to produce CO2-coordinated complexes, e.g., Rh2Cl2(C02)(PPh3)5l8 (Ph = C&), Rh2(C02) (CO)2(PPh3)3,l 9 and Rh(OH)(C02)(CO)(PPh3)2.20 Previously, we reported that the reaction of RhH(PPh3)d with carbon dioxide afforded a red crystalline compound, to which,

on the basis of its ir and Raman spectra and chemical behavior, a formula of Rh2H2(C02)(PPh3)6 was a ~ s i g n e d .By ~ x-ray analysis, however, we now show that the compound in question contains not carbon dioxide but the carbonate moiety, as in the earlier case of two other suspected carbon dioxide c ~ m p l e x e s . ~The ~ - ~crystallographic ~ evidence indicates that the compound is in fact Rh2(C03)(PPh3)5.C6H6. The present paper reports the preparation, characterization, and structure of this carbonato complex. Experimental Section All manipulations were carried out under deoxygenated dinitrogen or under a vacuum. Solvents were dried in the usual manner, distilled, and stored under a dinitrogen atmosphere.

Structure of Rh2(C03)(PPh j)sC6& Infrared spectra were recorded on Hitachi EPI-G3 and 295 spectrometers using KBr pellets prepared under an inert atmosphere. 3IP(lH) N M R spectra were measured by Mr. Y. NakamuraIb on a JEOL PS-100 spectrometer operating in a Fourier-transform mode and its signals are referred to triphenylphosphine (downfield positive) as an external standard. Microanalyses for carbon and hydrogen were carried out by Mr. T. Saitolb using a Yanagimoto C H N Type MT-2 Autocorder and for phosphorus and rhodium by Mr. K. Mizubayashi.lb Analysis of the gases evolved in various chemical treatments was carried out by gas chromatography after collecting gases fractionally using a Toepler pump, by which the volumes of gases were also measured. Hydridotetrakis(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) was prepared either from RhC1(PPh3)326 or directly from R h C 1 ~ 3 H 2 0by~ the ~ methods previously reported. Hydridotris(triphenyIphosphine)rhodium( I) was prepared according to the literature method.26

Preparation of k-Carbonato-pentakis(tripheny1phosphine)dirhodium-Benzene. Carbon dioxide was bubbled into a suspension of RhH(PPh3)4 (1.00 g, 0.87 mmol) in toluene (20 ml) for 10-15 days. I t was necessary to keep the temperature of the system below 20 OC throughout the reaction. The initial yellow suspension changed gradually to a brownish orange suspension, and the reaction was continued until the yellow precipitate of RhH(PPh3)4 disappeared completely. After the reaction, 20 ml of hexane was added to complete the precipitation of a pale orange powder, which was washed several times with hexane and dried in vacuo. The orange powdery crude product thus obtained weighed 0.60 g (83%). Crystallization of the crude product from a mixture of benzene and diethyl ether gave red crystals of Rh2(C03)(PPh3)&H6. Anal. Calcd for C97H8103P5Rh2: C, 70.4; H, 4.9; P, 9.4; Rh, 12.4. Found: C, 71.2; H, 5.3; P, 9.4; Rh, 11.9. Benzene of crystallization was detected in a yield of 0.0652 mmol on treatment of the crystals (103.2 mg, 0.0623 mmol) with triphenyl phosphite (ca. 1 ml) a t room temperature for 1 day.

Reactions of p-Carbonato-pentakis(tripheny1phosphine)dirhodium-Solvent. (i) Acidolysis. Treatment of Rhz(CO3)(PPh3)&H6 (120 mg, 0.0726 mmol) with ca. 1.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid in vacuo at room temperature released 0.063 mmol of carbon dioxide. (E)Thermolysis. Thermolysis of Rh2(CO3)(PPh3)&6H6 (124 mg, 0.0749 mmol) a t 220 OC in vacuo released 0.069 mmol of carbon dioxide. (iii) Reaction with Methyl Iodide. The reaction of Rhz(CO3)(PPh3)yC6&, (1 14 mg, 0.0678 mmol) with ca. 2 ml of methyl iodide in vacuo a t room temperature liberated methane (0.076 mmol) and carbon dioxide (0.067 mmol) as analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. (iv) Reaction with Triphenyl Phosphite. An unpurified sample of R ~ ~ ( C O ~ ) ( P P ~ ~ ) ~ *(122 C~H mg, S C0.0730 H ~ mmol) reacting with ca. 2 ml of P(OPh)3 afforded carbon dioxide (0.063 mmol) and toluene (0.065 mmol) which were identified by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.

X-Ray data Collection Weissenberg and precession photographs of a crystal of what proved to be Rh2(C03)(PPh3)s.C6H6 yielded approximate cell dimensions and indicated that the crystal belonged to the triclinic system. Subsequent calculations have shown the space group to be Ctl-Pi. The crystal chosen for data collection was sealed in a glass capillary. Thi! crystal exhibited eight faces of the forms (OlO), (1lo), (1lo), and ( 101). Its dimensions along the principal crystallographic axes are 0.18, 0.098, and 0.55 mm. With the use of a Picker four-circle diffractometer and Cu Ka1 radiation (X 1.540 56 A) 15 high-order reflections were hand centered. The least-squares refinement of the setting angles led to lattice constants at 22 O C of a = 22.518 (9) A, b = 28.051 (12) A, c = 12.841 (7) A, a = 96.12 (3)O, p = 97.91 (3)O, y = 92.66 (3)O, and V = 7972 A3. Ultimately, four molecules of the title compound and four benzene molecules were found to be contained in the unit cell (Pcalcd = 1.38 g/cm3, pobsd = 1.39 (1) g/cm3). Data were collected by the 8-28 scan technique using nickel-filtered Cu K a radiation. Scans of 0.9O were made above and below the Kal and Ka2 peaks, respectively, at a rate of 2O/min. Ten-second stationary-crystal, stationary-counter background measurements were obtained at each end of the 28 scan range. Copper foil attenuators were automatically placed in the path of the diffracted beam when its intensity exceeded about 7000 counts/s. In the range 3.5O < 28

C 98.0°, 16 576 reflections (Ah,hk,-l) were recorded. Six standard reflections were measured after every 100 reflections. The standard reflections uniformly decreased in intensity by approximately 11% during the course of data collection. A correction for this decomposition was made. The data were processed as previously described.28.29 Those 12 330 unique reflections which obeyed the condition Fo2 2 3.(FO2) were used in subsequent calculations.

Solution and Refinement of the Structure A three-dimensional Patterson synthesis30 revealed the coordinates of the eight Rh atoms in the unit cell. Because of the unusually large number of potential independent variables, the structure was initially refined by successive Fourier syntheses. During this process, temperature factors were assigned arbitrarily constant values. Standard atomic scattering factors were used with the inclusion of anomalous terms for the R h atoms.31 Several successive Fourier syntheses resulted in the location of all nonhydrogen atoms and an unweighted agreement index of 0.20.32 Prior to starting least-squares refinement of the model, the intensity data were corrected for absorption ( p = 47.8 cm-l, Cu Ka). Transmission factors varied between 0.43 and 0.67. The function minimized during full-matrix least-squares refinement was Cw(lFol - lFc1)2. The phenyl rings and solvate benzene molecules were treated as rigid groups with D6h symmetry and C-C bond lengths of 1.392 A. An overall temperature factor was used for each group. Nongroup atoms were assigned individual isotropic temperature factors, with the exception of the Rh atoms, whose thermal vibration was treated anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms were not included in the final refinement. The final values for the weighted and unweighted agreement indices are 0.102 and 0.079, r e s p e ~ t i v e l y ,for ~ ~ the 333 variables and 12 330 data. Certainly, relaxation of the rigid-group approximation or assignment of individual temperature factors to the group atoms would have improved the agreement indices. The resulting slight increase in precision, however, would not have been justified by the greatly increased computing expense. The presence of two independent Rh2(C03)(PPh3)5.C6H6 units in the cell raises the question of undetected symmetry in the cell. Certainly the cell reduction did not suggest any hidden symmetry. Also, analysis of the absorption-corrected data sorted on the scattering angle failed to reveal reflections of similar intensity and 28 values. Examination of the refined atom positions inidicates that the two independent molecules are related roughly by a 21 axis. The maximum electron density of the final difference Fourier map of 0.80 e/A3 was located in the vicinity of phenyl ring R152. This peak height is about 2Wo of a typical carbon atom peak. Examination of Cw(lFol for various classes of reflections based on Miller indices, IFol, and setting angles shows no unusual trends. Atomic positional and thermal parameters along with their standard deviations are given in Table I. Tables I1 and 111 list derived positions for the phenyl ring carbon atoms and parameters for the rigid groups. Selected bond distances and angles are tabulated in Table IV. A table giving the final values for the observed and calculated structure amplitudes is available.33 In these tables and elsewhere each atom is uniquely named according to the following systematic numbering scheme. Nongroup atoms are designated by the chemical symbol for the atom plus one or two numbers: the first indicates of which independent molecule the atom is a part; the second number (if present) refers to the numbering scheme in Figure 1. Names for phosphine phenyl groups consist of the letter "R' followed by three numbers. The first number refers to either molecule one or two, the second refers to the phosphorus atom to which the ring is attached, and the third refers to the number of the ring on the phosphine. Names for the carbon atoms are composed of the identifier for the ring of which they are a part, plus

Half a mole of carbon dioxide per rhodium atom structure determination (see below). Although the reaction is liberated either on thermolysis or on the reaction of the temperature can be raised to ca. 50 OC at an initial stage of the reaction, it is important to keep it below 20 "C subsecomplex with triphenyl phosphite.

The evolution of which may arise from a hydride intermediate reaction rate did not increase on raising the CO2 pressure up produced by ortho metalation of the triphenylphosphine ligand.

mutually trans Pa phosphorus nuclei which are cis from the oxygen atom of the bridging carbonato group and the Pb ligand. The P b resonance is partly obscured in the slope of the P, signal but a triplet and a part of another triplet, which constitute together a doublet of triplets, are discernible. These signals are best accounted for by assuming the AMX2 spin system in which Pb, Rh ( I = l/2), and Pa nuclei constitute the A, M, and X2 portions, respectively. The other part of the spectrum which shows an apparent doublet of doublets in Figure 2 is from the Rh(PPh3)z portion

of the dinuclear complex. A close examination of the spectrum reveals that this portion is not a doublet of doublets but rather two pairs of doublets. The doublet which appears at the higher field with the greater intensity may be assigned to the P, ligands, which are mutually cis and coupled with the Rh(2) atom. The other doublet labeled Pd in Figure 2 with a 12J(Rh-Pd)l value of 189 Hz varied in its intensity from one sample to the other and is considered to be associated with a yet unidentified species formed by dissociation or partial decomposition of the carbonato complex.

phenylphosphine ligands with each other at the higher temperature. Prolonged heating of the solution at 80 OC, however, caused a considerable irreversible increase in the intensity of the Pd signals at the expense of the signals Pa, Pb, and P,. The intensity of the signal of free triphenylphosphine oxide did not change significantly throughout this process. Evolution of C 0 2 by heating the benzene solution at 80 "C for several hours was confirmed by gas chromatography. The 31P(1H) N M R spectrum of the carbonato complex in pyridine at room temperature showed only signals of Pd and triphenylphosphine oxide. This may result from the exchange of the triphenylphosphine ligands in pyridine. Heating the pyridine solution to 70 OC caused the evolution of carbon dioxide from the complex. The main features of the 31P(1H) N M R spectrum of the a The number in parentheses is the standard deviation of a single benzene solution of the rhodium complex are in agreement with observation. It is the larger of (1) the quantity estimated from the values averaged on the assumption that they are from the same the unsymmetrical binuclear structure of the rhodium(1)population or (2) the average standard deviation as estimated from carbonato complex in the following aspects.

Finally, IJ(Rh-P)( values of Rh(1) complexes are known to be larger than those of Rh(II1) by a factor of ca. 1.5, owing to the larger fraction of both s and 7r character of the rhodium bonding orbitals in four-coordinate Rh(1) complexes than in six-coordinate Rh(II1) c ~ m p l e x e s . ~A~similar - ~ ~ decrease in coupling constants is also seen when going from four-coordinate Pt(I1) complexes to six-coordinate Pt(1V) comp l e ~ e s .In~ the ~ present case both IJ(Rh-Pa)I and IJ(Rh-P,)I are in the Rh(1) range, excluding a possible rhodium(II1) dihydride structure (also, see below). Description and Discussion of Structure. Discrete molecules of Rh2(C03)(PPh3) j occupy general positions in the unit cell, as do the solvate benzene molecules. Figure 3 shows a stereoview of the molecular packing in the unit cell. The only unusual nonbonded contacts occur between oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms on the phenyl rings. Two of the 0-H atom distances are about 2.3 8, and therefore fall in the range expected for weak hydrogen bonds.40 The minimization of nonbonded contacts between the phenyl rings is, however, the most important factor influencing their orientation. The coordination about both rhodium atoms is best described as square planar, although the Rh( 1)41coordination is slightly distorted toward tetrahedral geometry. A square-planar ligand arrangement is, of course, the normal geometry for four-coordinate d8 Rh(1) (see Figure 1). Consideration of steric factors shows that the fifth and sixth coordination positions of the rhodium atoms are not occupied by hydride ligands as might be implied from the original formulation of the c0mpound.j Assuming normal phenyl ring geometry with a C-H bond length of 0.95 A and a Rh-H bond length of 1.65 A, unreasonably short hydrogen-hydrogen contacts are calculated. These contacts are given in Table V. If the orientations of the phenyl rings are ignored, the molecule is seen to contain a mirror plane. This plane contains atoms Rh(l), Rh(2), P(2), P(4), P(5), and the carbonate group atoms (Table VI). The least-squares plane of the Rh(1) coordination sphere makes an angle of 87' with this pseudo mirror plane (Table VI). The Rh-P bond lengths for the phosphine ligands trans to each other are n ~ r m a l . They ~ ~ , range ~ ~ from 2.309 (4) to 2.337 (4) A. For the phosphine groups trans to the oxygen atoms of the carbonate groups, the average Rh-P distance is 2.202 A. This shortening of the Rh-P bond length from the value for the mutually trans phosphine groups to the value for the phosphorus atom trans to an oyxgen atom is also observed in the structure of benzoatotris(tripheny1phosphine)rhodium. l 3 Platinum(I1) compounds also exhibit a similar trend. For example, the Pt-P bond distance in trans-PtCl(CO)(P(C2Hj)3)2+ is 2.34 A.44 This distance however decreases to Rather short Rh-P bond 2.24 8, in ci~-Pt(CO3)(PPh3)2.~~ distances of 2.218 (8) and 2.21 1 (2) 8, are also found for the

The phosphorus ligand, however, does have an effect on the Rh-0 bond trans to it. The compounds tetrakis(pacetate)-diaquodirhodium and potassium tris(oxa1ato)rhodite(II1) can be taken as examples where the Rh-0 bond experiences little trans influence. The average Rh-0 bond length is 2.04 A in the former47 and 2.016 A in the latter.48 In contrast is acetatobis(phenylazophenyl-2C,N')rhodium(II), where the oxygen atoms of the acetate group are trans to the labilizing ortho-metalated phenyl rings.

Structure of Rh2(C03)(PPh3)5GjH6 2.12 A is intermediate in value. Three other compounds, each with a tridentate bridging carbonate group similar to that found here, have previously been structurally ~ h a r a c t e r i z e d . ~ Here, ~ , ~ ~as * ~in~the other structures, the carbonato moiety is essentially planar. Generally, four-membered ring formation causes the carbonato 0-C-0 bond angle to decrease from 120’ to an average of 1 13°.23351-56 The 0(2)-C-0(3) angle reported here of 116’ may represent a decrease from 120’. The average O(2)Rh(2)-O(3) bond angle here of 62.6’ is similar to the 64.0’ angle found in the four-membered ring of the square-planar complex Pt(C03)(PPh3)2.45 In other structures containing a metal-bonded carbonate group, the C-O bond length in the carbonate moiety has ranged from 1.36 (2)57to 1.245 (3) A51 depending on the strength of the various oxygen-metal interactions. Unfortunately, little can be said concerning the carbonato C-0 bond distances here because of deviations in lengths between equivalent atoms in the two independent molecules. However, the average C-0 bond length found here of 1.29 A is virtually identical with that in the free carbonate ion of calcite, 1.294 (4) A.50 Conclusion The red compound produced by the reaction of RhH(PPh3)4 with C02 thus has been characterized as a bridging carbonate complex, Rh2(C03)(PPh3)5.C6H6, on the basis of vibrational and 31P N M R spectra, chemical evidence, and x-ray crystallographic analysis. The problem remains, however, as to how a carbonato complex is formed by the reaction of RhH(PPh3)4 with C 0 2 in a nonaqueous system. There are several conceivable routes to the Rh-CO3 complex: (1) disproportionation of C 0 2 molecules to CO and co32-; (2) reaction of C02 with oxygen introduced into the system as impurity to form co32-;(3) reaction of H2O impurity in the C 0 2 gas. The disproportionation of C 0 2 was postulated by Chatt et al.23 in the formation of a bis(p-carbonate)-molybdenum complex. Yet in the present system the other two possibilities cannot be eliminated: the duration of C 0 2 bubbling into the system is so long that introduction of oxygen and/or water as impurities is unavoidable despite vigorous attempts to remove them from the C 0 2 gas. Attempts to detect the possible products, H2 and/or CO, from the reaction system using a closed system under a normal pressure of COS failed because of the lack of reactivity of RhH(PPh3)4 toward carbon dioxide.
