AI Article Synopsis
- N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) with 3,4-dimethylphosphaferrocenyl groups and different alkyl bridges were synthesized and shown to be highly stable.
- They were characterized using NMR and mass spectrometry techniques.
- The properties and coordination behaviors of the resulting molybdenum and ruthenium complexes were studied, revealing their electronic characteristics and the structure of the ligands used.
Article Abstract
N-Heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) possessing one or two 3,4-dimethylphosphaferrocenyl substituents and either methylene or ethylene alkyl bridges have been prepared. These carbenes turned out to be remarkably stable and were characterized by NMR methods and partly by mass spectrometry. Their molybdenum and ruthenium complexes were examined in order to determine the electronic properties and the coordination behaviour of these chiral PC- and PCP-chelate ligands, which combine a NHC unit as a strong sigma-donor with pi-accepting phosphaferrocene moieties. Crystal structures of one ligand precursor and of three complexes have been determined.
