Abstract

The disodium salt Na2[{(CO)5Cr}2Pb(NO3)2], Na2·1, which contains a lead center in a (4+2) coordination mode, reacts with tetraphenylphosphonium halides [Ph4P]X to give the tetrahedral compounds [Ph4P]2[{(CO)5Cr}2PbX2] (X = Cl: 2a; X = Br: 2b; X = I: 2c). Substitution of the nitrate groups of Na2·1 by alcoxides leads to binuclear compounds of the type [{(CO)5Crg2Pb(μ2-OR)2Pb{Cr(CO)5}2]2- (R = Et: 3a; R = n -Pr: 3b; R = i-Pr: 3c; R = Allyl: 3d). NMR experiments show that these dimeric compounds are in equilibrium with the monomeric species [{(CO)5Cr}2PbR]- .Trialkylphosphanes react with Na2·1 to give the neutral phosphane complexes [{(CO)5Cr}2Pb(PR3)2] (R=Me: 4a; R=Et: 4b; R = n-Bu: 4c), which show dynamic behaviour in solution. All of the novel compounds have been characterized by X-ray analysis, as well as by the usual analytic and spectroscopic techniques. 207Pb-NMR data of Cr(CO)5- bound lead species are reported for the first time.
