Osmium(VI) Nitrido Complexes with Perfluorinated Alcoholate Ligands: Expanding Ligand Scope through a Simple Silver Oxide‐Mediated Synthesis Route
Von Wiley-VCH zur Verfügung gestellt
Reacting [NBu4][OsNCl4] with perfluorinated diols and alcohols in the presence of Ag2O results in the formation of the corresponding Os(VI) nitrido complexes, [Os(N)(ORF)4]− (ORF = perfluorinated alcoholate), which contain perfluorinated alcoholate ligands. These complexes represent rare examples of osmium(VI) nitrido complexes with 4 O-donor ligands.
The coordination of perfluorinated alcohols toward an osmium(VI) nitrido center is described. Herein, [NBu4][OsNCl4] is reacted with hexafluoroacetone hydrate (HFA), perfluoropinacol (PFP), or pentafluorophenol (C6F5OH) in the presence of Ag2O to obtain the stable complexes [NBu4][Os(N)(O2C(CF3)2)2] (1), [NBu4][Os(N)(O2C2(CF3)4)2] (2), [NBu4][Os(N)(OC6F5)4] (3), and [NBu4][Os(N)(Cl)2(O2C(CF3)2)] (4) in overall good yields. These complexes represent rare examples of Os(VI) nitrido complexes that carry four O-donor ligands, as no examples have been reported for perfluorinated alcoholates so far. Complexes 1 and 4 extend the coordination chemistry of the otherwise underrepresented O2C(CF3)2 ligand. The latter offers the potential for further functionalization of the osmium(VI) nitrido complex through substitution of the remaining chloride ligands. The compounds are fully characterized, and the crystal structures of compounds 1, 2, and 3 are analyzed.
