;Laurencin, Danielle ;Fidalgo, Eva Garcia ;Villanneau, Richard ;Villain, Françoise ;Herson, Patrick ;Pacifico, Jessica; ;Benard, Marc ;Rohmer, Marie-Madeleine; Proust, AnnaReactions of the molybdates Na2MoO4.2H(2)O and (nBu(4)N)(2)[Mo2O7] with [{Ru(arene)Cl-2}(2)] (arene = C6H5CH3, 1,3,5-C6H3(CH3)(3), 1,2,4,5-C6H2(CH3)(4)) in water or organic solvents led to formation of the triple-cubane organometallic oxides [{Ru(eta(6)- arene)}(4)Mo4O16], whose crystal and molecular structures were determined. Refluxing triple cubane [{Ru(eta(6)-C6H5CH3)}(4)Mo4O16] in methanol caused partial isomerization to the windmill form. The two isomers of [{Ru(eta(6)-C6H5CH3)}(4)Mo4O16] were characterized by Raman and Mo K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), both in the solid-state and in solution. This triple-cubane isomer was also used as a spectroscopic model to account for isomerization of the p-cymene windmill [{Ru(eta(6)-1,4-CH3C6H4CH(CH3)(2))}(4)Mo4O16] in solution. Using both Raman and XAS techniques, we were then able to determine the ratio between the windmill and triple-cubane isomers in dichloromethane and in chloroform. Density functional calculations on [{Ru(eta(6)-arene)}(4)Mo4O16] (arene=C6H6, C6H5CH3, 1,3,5-C6H3(CH3)(3), 1,4-CH3C6H4CH-(CH3)(2), C-6(CH3)(6)) suggest that the windmill form is intrinsically more stabel, provided the complexes are assumed to be isolated. Intramolecular electrostatic interactions and steric bulk induced by substituted arenes verse the energy difference between the isomers. The stability of the triple-cubane isomers should therefore be accounted for by effects of the surroundings that induce a shift in the energy balance between both forms. - PublicationAccès libreFramework Fluxionality of Organometallic Oxides : Synthesis, Crystal Structure, EXAFS, and DFT Studies on [{Ru(η6-arene)}4Mo4O16] Complexes(2003)

Intramolecular electrostatic interactions and steric bulk induced by substituted arenes were found to modulate but not to reverse the energy difference between the isomers. The stability of the triple-cubane isomers should therefore be accounted for by effects of the surroundings that induce a shift in the energy balance between both forms. - PublicationMétadonnées seulementThe cluster dication [H6Ru4(C6H6)(4)](2+) revisited: the first cluster complex containing an intact dihydrogen ligand?(2000)
; ;Plasseraud, Laurent ;Maisse-Francois, Aline; ;Berke, Heinz ;Fox, Thomas ;Gautier, RégisSaillard, Jean-YvesA low-temperature H-1-NMR study suggests the tetranuclear cluster dication [H6Ru4(C6H6)(4)](2+) (1) to contain an H-2 ligand that undergoes, upon warming of the solution, an intramolecular exchange with the four hydride ligands at the Ru-4 framework. Whereas two of the three NMR signals at - 120 degrees C in the hydride region show T-1 values in the range 200-300 ms, the least deshielded resonance at delta = - 17.33 ppm exhibits a T-1 value of only 34 ms, characteristic of an H-2 ligand. a re-examination of the single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the chloride salt of 1 supports this interpretation by a short distance of 1.14(0.15) Angstrom between two hydrogen atoms coordinated as a PI-PI ligand in a side-on fashion to one of the triangular faces of the Ru-4 tetrahedron. The distance between one of the two hydrogen atoms of the H-2 ligand and one of the four hydride ligands is also very short [1.33(0.15) Angstrom], suggesting an additional H-2... H interaction. The presence of this H-3, unit over one of the three Ru-3 faces in 1 may explain the deformation of the Ru-4 skeleton from the expected tetrahedral symmetry. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on 1 indicate a very soft potential energy surface associated with the respective displacement of the three interacting cofacial hydrogen atoms. In accordance with these results, the cluster dication 1 tends to loose molecular hydrogen to form the cluster dication [H4Ru4(C6H6)(4)](2+) (2). The equilibrium between 1 and 2 can be used for catalytic hydrogenation reactions. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
