Chrom(0)-und Molybdän(0)-Komplexe von 11-Isopropyliden-bicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-2,4,8-trienen / Chromium(0) and Molybdenum(0) Complexes of 11-Isopropylidene-bicyclo[4.4. 1]undeca-2,4,8-trienes

Abstract

11-Isopropylidene-bicyclo[4.4.1]undeca-2,4,8-triene (IBU, 1A) and five alkyl substituted de­rivatives (1B-1F) contain a conjugated diene unit and two isolated CC-double bonds, one exocyclic and one incorporated into the bicvclus, each suited for complexation to transition metals. With [Cr(CO)3(CH3CN)3] (2) 1A-1F form [Cr(CO)3(η6-IBU)] complexes (3A−3F). in which the IBU ligands are coordinated to the chromium via the diene unit and the exocyclic CC-double bond. The corresponding [Mo(CO)3(η6-IBU)] complexes (5A−5F) are obtained from the reactions of [Mo(CO)3(diglyme)] (4) with 1A−1F. In addition, the isomeric [Mo(CO)3(η6-IBU)] complexes (6A−6D) are formed, in which the IBU ligands are bound to molybdenum via the three cyclic CC-double bonds. The complexes 3A−3F, 5A−5F and 6A−6D were studied by IR and NMR spectroscopy (1H. 13C) and characterized by C, H elemental analyses. The crystal and molecular structure of 1A was determined by X-ray structure analysis.
