Abstract
New heterobimetallic and trimetallic complexes of titanium, [Ti(η5-C5H5)2(Cl)(μ-η1:η6-RC6H4)Cr(CO)3] (R = H(1), o-F (2), p-CH3 (3), m-CH3 (4), [Ti(η5-C5H5)2(Cl)(μ-η1:η6-C6Me5)CH2)Cr(CO)3}] (5), and [(μ-{Ti(η5-C5H5)2 }){(η1:η6-RC6H4)Cr(CO)3}2](R = H (6), p-CH3 (7)), and gold, [Au(PPh3)(μ-η1:η6-RC6H4)Cr(CO)3] (R = H (9), o-F (10)), were prepared by the addition of the transition-metal halide Ti(η5-C5H5)2(Cl)2 or Au{PPh3}Cl to a tetrahydrofuran solution of the appropriate lithiated (π-arene)tricarbonylchromium(0) substrate. The characterization of the bi- and trinuclear products by analytical and NMR, IR, and mass spectral data is supported by X-ray studies of the fluorobenzene (2) and toluene (3) derivatives, which confirm that the phenyl ligand is π-coordinated to the chromium tricarbonyl group, as well as σ-bonded to the bent metallocene. Crystals of 2 were monoclinic, P21/n, with a = 10.431 (4) Å, b = 12.506 (13) Å, c = 13.905 (3) Å, β = 106.38 (2)°, and Z = 4. Crystals of 3 were orthorhombic, Pbca, with a = 14.138 (2) Å, b = 13.625 (2) Å, c = 19.229 (6) Å, and Z = 8.
