Abstract

Abstract Synthesis, properties and reactions of [(OC)5W]2N2H2, [(OC)5W]2N2H4, (OC)5WN2H4, (OC)5WNH3, [(OC)4PØ3W]2N2H4, [(OC)4PØ3WN2H4], [(OC)5W-N2H2-W(CO)4PØ3], [(OC)5W-N2H2-W(CO)4P(CH3)3] and [(OC)5WNHCH3NHC6H5] are reported. The hydrazine complexes are synthesized by ligand exchange from the corresponding tetra-hydrofuran complexes. Oxidation by various oxidizing agents yields the diazene complexes, in most cases very low yields. Substitution of CO by phosphanes leads to reduced stability of the compounds. All complexes undergo base catalysed H-D exchange yielding the corresponding ND derivatives; the diazene complexes show a much faster exchange than the corresponding hydrazine and ammonia complexes, which is explained by the higher acidity of the N2H2 protons. The diazene complexes disproportionate under base catalysis to hydrazine and dinitrogen compounds, the latter of which loose the N2 ligand immediately. The diazene ligand of [(OC)5W]2N2H2 cannot be alkylated by reactions with (CH3)2SO4, LiCH3 or CH2N2; instead, LiCH3 as well as CH2N2 cause disproportionation to N2H4 and N2 complexes. UV irradiation of [(OC)5W]2N2H2 in THF leads to substitution of CO by THF. The THF complexes can be converted to the phosphane substituted diazene complexes. The IR, UV-VIS and 1H NMR spectra of the (OC)5W complexes are nearly identical to those of the analogous Cr and Mo compounds. The unsymmetrical phosphane diazene complexes, however, show a quartet of the N2H2 protons in the 1H NMR spectra with coupling constants of 25-26 Hz for the protons on the NN double bond. This value points to a trans configuration of the diazene ligand and its complexes respectively.
