NEW REACTIONS OF METAL CARBONYLS AND RELATED COMPOUNDS.
Abstract
Research has been divided between studies on the infrared spectra of certain metal carbonyl complexes, and on the synthesis of new organosilicon- and organotin(carbonyl)ruthenium complexes. Both of these topics add to the knowledge of metal-metal bonds. Part I of this Report summarizes a study of the infrared spectra of pi-cyclopentadienyliron dicarbonyl compounds (pi-C5H5)Fe(CO)2X, where X = Cl, Br or I; or M(IV)R3 where M(IV) = Si, Ge or Sn, and R = Et, Ph or Cl. The results are used to draw certain conclusions about the nature of the Fe-X bond. Part II of the Report describes the synthesis of new tin-ruthenium complexes of type (R3Sn)2Ru(CO)4 and R10Sn4Ru2(CO)6. Part III gives an account of the preparation of silicon-ruthenium compounds (R3SiRu(CO)4)2, particularly (Me3SiRu(CO)4)2. The latter complex has proved to be an important intermediate for further syntheses. The work on the silicon-ruthenium complexes is still at a preliminary stage and further work needs to be done.
