Crystal-structure of the phosphonium salt [P{C(OH)MeC(O)Me}Me2Ph]Cl A1 Jalón Sotés, Félix Ángel A1 Gómez Sal, Pilar A1 Otero Montero, Antonio A1 Royo Gracia, Pascual A1 García Blanco, S. A1 Martínez Carrera, Sagrario K1 Niobium K1 Crystal structure K1 Ciencia K1 Química inorgánica K1 Science K1 Chemistry, inorganic AB The reactions of Nb(η5-C5H5)Cl2(CO)L2 (= PMe3, PMe2Ph) with α-diketones RCOCOR (R = Me, Ph) and 3,5-di-t-butyl-o-quinone have been studied. When L = PMe2Ph and R = Ph the reaction in a molar ratio 1/1 gives Nb(η5-C5H5)Cl2(O2C2Ph2)(PMe2Ph)2 (I) whereas the same reaction for R = Me gives the phosphonium salt [P{C(OH)MeC(O)Me}Me2Ph]Cl (VII). When L = PMe3 only the phosphonium salts [P{C(OH)RC(O)R}Me3]Cl are obtained for R = Me (V) and Ph (VI), but the complex Nb(η5-C5H5)Cl2(O2C2Ph2)PMe3 (II) can be isolated by previous addition of MeI. Similar reactions with 3,5-di-t-butyl-o-quinone give Nb(η5-C5H5)Cl2(o-O2C6H2But)L, L = PMe3 (III), PMe2Ph (IV). All the compounds have been characterized by IR, 1H, 13C, 31P NMR spectroscopy and the crystal structure of VII has been determined by X-ray diffraction. VII crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a 7.440(2), b 10.377(3), c 17.644(4) Å, β 96.94(2)° and Dcal 1.039 g cm−3 for Z = 4. A final R value of 0.046 (Rw = 0.049) based on 2309 observed reflections was obtained. The geometry around the P atom is tetrahedral.
