Mono- and binuclear aryldiazenido complexes [Fe(ArN(2))(CO)(2)P(2)]BPh(4) (1-4) and [{Fe(CO)(2)P(2)}(2)(&mgr;-N(2)Ar-ArN(2))](BPh(4))(2) (5-8) [P = P(OEt)(3), PPh(OEt)(2), PPh(2)OEt, P(OPh)(3); Ar = C(6)H(5), 2-CH(3)C(6)H(4), 4-CH(3)C(6)H(4); Ar-Ar = 4,4'-C(6)H(4)-C(6)H(4), 4,4'-(2-CH(3))C(6)H(3)-C(6)H(3)(2-CH(3)), 4,4'-C(6)H(4)-CH(2)-C(6)H(4)] were prepared by allowing hydride species FeH(2)(CO)(2)P(2) to react with an excess of mono- (ArN(2))(BF(4)) or bis-aryldiazonium (N(2)Ar-ArN(2))(BF(4))(2) salts, respectively, at low temperature. A reaction path involving a hydride-aryldiazene intermediate [FeH(ArN=NH)(CO)(2)P(2)](+), which, through the loss of H(2), affords the final aryldiazenido complexes 1-8, is proposed. The compounds were characterized by (1)H and (31)P{(1)H} NMR spectroscopy (including (15)N isotopic substitution) and X-ray crystal structure determination. The complex [Fe(CO)(2){P(OEt)(3)}(2){&mgr;-4,4'-N(2)(2-CH(3))C(6)H(3)-C(6)H(3)(2-CH(3))N(2)}](BPh(4))(2) (5b) crystallizes in the space group P&onemacr; with a = 15.008(4) Å, b = 17.094(5) Å, c = 10.553(3) Å, alpha = 99.56(1) degrees, beta = 102.80(1) degrees, gamma = 65.30(1) degrees, and Z = 1. The structure is centrosymmetric and consists of binuclear cations with the two iron atoms in a quite regular trigonal bipyramidal environment, with the two CO in the equatorial and the two phosphites in the apical position, respectively. Aryldiazenido complexes 1-8 react with strong acids HX (X = Cl, CF(3)SO(3), CF(3)CO(2)) to give the corresponding aryldiazene derivatives, according to the equilibrium [Fe(ArN(2))(CO)(2)P(2)](+) + HX right harpoon over left harpoon [FeX(ArN=NH)(CO)(2)P(2)](+). Electrochemical studies of both mono- (1-4) and binuclear (5-8) compounds were undertaken, and a mechanism for oxidation and reduction processes is proposed.

The first palladium(iv) aryldiazenido complex: relevance for C-C coupling.

Overall two-electron oxidative addition of the aryldiazonium cation para-methoxybenzenediazonium (pmbd) to [(Tp*)PdMe] (Tp* = hydridotris-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) produces the first characterized palladium(iv) aryldiazenido complex, [(Tp*)PdMe(pmbd)] (pmbd = para-methoxybenzenediazenido). Thermolysis in benzene forms a mixture of products that contains [(Tp*)PdMe] and the C-C coupled product, 4,4'-dimethoxybiphenyl. The use of acetone as the thermolysis solvent changes the product distribution towards the formation of anisole.

Representative members of a new family of covalently bonded charge-transfer molecular hybrids, of general formula [(eta5-C5H5)Fe(mu,eta6:eta1-p-RC6H4NN)Mo(eta2-S2CNEt2)3] +PF6- (R: H, 5+PF6-; Me, 6+PF6-; MeO, 7+PF6-) and [(eta5-C5Me5)Fe(mu,eta6:eta1-C6H5NN)Mo(eta2-S2CNEt2)3]+PF6-, 8+PF6-, have been synthesized by reaction of the corresponding mixed-sandwich organometallic hydrazines [(eta5-C5H5)Fe(eta6-p-RC6H4NHNH2)]+PF6- (R: H, 1+PF6-; Me, 2+PF6-; MeO, 3+PF6-) and [(eta5-C5Me5)Fe(eta6-C6H5NHNH2)]+PF6-, 4+PF6-, with cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) bis(diethyldithiocarbamato) complex, [MoO2(S2CNEt2)2], in the presence of sodium diethyldithiocarbamato trihydrate, NaSC(=S)NEt2.3H2O, in refluxing methanol. These iron-molybdenum complexes consist of organometallic and inorganic fragments linked each other through a pi-conjugated aryldiazenido bridge coordinated in eta6 and eta1 modes, respectively.

Tris(pyrazolyl)borate aryldiazenido complexes [RuTpLL'(ArN(2))](BF(4))(2) (1-3) [Ar = C(6)H(5), 4-CH(3)C(6)H(4); Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate; L = P(OEt)(3) or PPh(OEt)(2), L' = PPh(3); L = L' = P(OEt)(3)] were prepared by allowing dihydrogen [RuTp(eta(2)-H(2))LL'](+) derivatives to react with aryldiazonium cations. Spectroscopic characterization (IR, (15)N NMR) using the (15)N-labeled derivatives strongly supports the presence of a linear [Ru]-NN-Ar aryldiazenido group. Hydrazine complexes [RuTp(RNHNH(2))LL']BPh(4) (4-6) [R = H, CH(3), C(6)H(5), 4-NO(2)C(6)H(4); L = P(OEt)(3) or PPh(OEt)(2), L' = PPh(3); L = L' = P(OEt)(3)] were also prepared by reacting the [RuTp(eta(2)-H(2))LL'](+) cation with an excess of hydrazine.

Depending on experimental conditions and the nature of the hydrazine, the reactions of ReCl3P3 [P = PPh(OEt)2] with RNHNH2 (R = H, CH3, tBu) afford the bis(dinitrogen) [Re(N2)2P4]+ (2+), dinitrogen ReClN2P4 (3), and methyldiazenido [ReCl(CH3N2)(CH3NHNH2)P3]+ (1+) derivatives. In contrast, reactions of ReCl3P3 [P = PPh(OEt)2, PPh2OEt] with arylhydrazines ArNHNH2 (Ar = Ph, p-tolyl) give the aryldiazenido cations [ReCl(ArN2)(ArNHNH2)P3]+ (4+) and [ReCl(ArN2)P4]+ (7+) and the bis(aryldiazenido) cations [Re(ArN2)2P3]+ (5+, 6+). These complexes were characterized spectroscopically (IR; 1H and 31P NMR), and the BPh4 complexes 1, 2, and 7 were characterized crystallographically.
