Abstract
One-pot reaction of [CpCo(CO) 2], elemental sulfur with some heterocycle-substituted alkynes (R–C C–HET) produced [CpCo(dithiolene)] complexes with 2PyOBn ( 2), with both 2PyOBn and 2-hydroxy-2-propyl groups (C(OH)Me 2) ( 5), both 2Py and C(OH)Me 2 ( 8), both 4Py and C(OH)Me 2 ( 11), and with 4Py substituent ( 13). A deprotection of benzyl group (Bn) from 2 with trimethylsilyl iodide formed [CpCo(dithiolene)] with 2-pyridonyl substituent ( 3). Heating reaction of 8 without any base resulted in the C(OH)Me 2 group elimination to form the 2-pyridylethylenedithiolate complex ( 9), but 11 underwent only dehydration at the C(OH)Me 2 under heating. While the preparation of 5, the benzyl free complex ( 6) was obtained as a main product. 6 has a dithiolene-fused tricyclic pyridone skeleton. The structures of 3, 5, 6, 8, and 11 were determined by X-ray diffraction studies. Intramolecular OH⋯N( 2Py) hydrogen bondings are found in 5 and 8, and an intermolecular OH⋯N( 4Py) one is found in 11 at solid state. In the 2-pyridonyl complex 3, intermolecular NH⋯O and CH(dithiolene)⋯O hydrogen bondings are observed. 8 showed an intermolecular Cp⋯Cp face-to-face interaction. The tricyclic complex 6 exhibited lower energy electronic absorption ( λ max = 668 nm) compared with the others ( λ max = 562–614 nm), due to an extended π-conjugation of aromatic cobaltadithiolene ring.
