Abstract

Compounds CpCrCl 2L ( L = PMe 2 Ph, 1, PMePh 2, 2; PPh 3, 3 ) have been prepared. Their magnetic moment is in accord with the presence of three unpaired electron and a variable temperature 1H NMR investigation of 1 shows Curie-Weiss behavior. The 1H NMR, EPR and UV-visible spectra are in agreement with those of other previously reported compounds of the same family. An electrochemical investigation shows the accessibility of an irreversible reduction process. A parallel sodium reduction investigation of complexes CpCrCl 2L (L = PMe 3 and η 1-dppe) suggests tjat the reduction process is followed by immediate chloride loss, and then by a ligand redistribution process to afford chromocene and unstable inorganic phosphine complexes of Cr(II).
