Deeming,* Manzurul Karim and Nicholas 1. Powell Department of Chemistry University College London 20 Gordon Street London WC IH OAJ The reaction of [W(CO),( MeCN),] with pyridine-2-thione (pySH) at room temperature gives the tungsten(i1) compound [W(pyS),(CO),] (1) and the tungsten(o) compound [W(CO),(pySH)] (2). To slow the rate of intramolecular exchange of the pyS ligands in ( I ) PMe,Ph was introduced to give [W(pyS),(CO),(PMe,Ph)] (4). Crystals of (4) are monoclinic space group C2/c a = 30.738(9) b = 9.867(2) c = 16.048(9) A p = 121.04(3)" and Z = 8 and the X-ray structure was refined to R = 0.0330 and R' = 0.0335.Molecules of (4) contain two chelating pyS ligands and the tungsten is seven-co-ordinated. Approximately determined exchange rates for the diastereotopic Me groups of PMe,Ph and of the non-equivalent pyS ligands are the same indicating that both exchanges result from the same process. The corresponding molybdenum compound is isostructural and shows similar fluxionality. Seven-co-ordinated complexes of tungsten(1r) and molyb- denum(I1) are known to adopt several different stereo- chemistries '-' pentagonal bipyramidal,' rectangular-face- capped trigonal prismatic,6 4 3 piano-~tool,~ and face-capped octahedral geometries. Generally these complexes are stereo- chemically non-rigid which is a consequence of the small energy differences between the different forms and commonly there are distortions from idealised geometries which can lead to ambiguities in describing structure.In particular chelating ligands with small bite angles are expected to cause distortions from idealised geometries. We have been studying pyridine-2- thionato (pyS) complexes intending to synthesize cage com- pounds with bridging pyS ligands. Attempting to make mono- nuclear complexes as starting materials for cage compounds we have prepared and structurally characterised the first tungsten compounds containing pyridine-2-thione (pySH) and pyridine- 2-thionate (pyS) which are described in this paper. initially which either reacts with more pySH to give (1) with displacement of H and MeCN or partially decomposes with the loss of CO which is scavenged by the intermediate to give (2).We reasoned that an increase in steric crowding might affect the rate of the fluxional process probably lowering it so we carried out a similar preparation using [W(CO),(MeCN),] and 6-methylpyridine-2-thione (mpySH) but this gave only the less interesting tungsten(0) compound [W(CO),(mpySH)] (3) and none of the tungsten(I1) species. Presumably the increased crowding prevents the formation of [W(mpyS),(CO),] by this route. A possible alternative was to suppress the supposed fluxionality of (1) by phosphine substitution. We have prepared the derivative [W(pyS),(CO),(PMe,Ph)] (4) by reaction of (1) with PMe,Ph in cyclohexane at room temperature and have determined its single-crystal X-ray structure.As expected the fluxionality of (4) is suppressed to the extent that 'H n.m.r. coalescences occur at higher temperatures which are experi- mentally accessible (see next section). The molybdenum compound [Mo(pyS),(CO),] was syn- thesized similarly to the tungsten compound but is rather more sensitive so we did not isolate it but treated it directly with PMe,Ph to give [Mo(pyS),(CO),(PMe,Ph)] (5) which is analogous spectroscopically to the tungsten compound (4) and is much more stable than the tricarbonyl compound both thermally and in air. Structure and Fluxional Behaviour of Compound (4).-The single-crystal X-ray structure of (4) is shown in Figure 1 and selected bond lengths and angles are in Table 2.The structure is as we predicted with two chelating pyS ligands a PMe,Ph and two CO ligands; an 18-electron structure is therefore adopted. The monodentate ligands are facially arranged like the three CO ligands of the parent compound (1). Figure 2 shows two representations of the tungsten co-ordination sphere. For the face-capped octahedral representation (a) the atom in the capping position C(41) should have three similarly small angles to adjacent ligands (around 75") and three similarly large ones (around 130"). Of the seven co-ordinated atoms only C(41) Results and Discussion Syntheses.-Treatment of [W(CO),(MeCN),] with pySH in acetonitrile solution at room temperature gives the seven- co-ordinate tungsten(I1) compound [W(pyS),(CO),] (1) and the tungsten(o) compound [W(CO),(pySH)] (2) which were separated by t.1.c.on silica. Compound (2) was straightforwardly characterised by its 'H n.m.r. and i.r. spectra (Table 1) as a six- co-ordinate complex containing a pySH ligand in the thione form co-ordinated through the sulphur atom. Compound (1) gave only two strong v(C0) absorptions in the i.r. spectrum consistent with a facial tricarbonyl arrangement with effective local C30 symmetry. As a co-ordinatively saturated complex it has both pyS ligands bidentate and 'H n.m.r. spectra show only one set of pyS resonances even down to -90 "C the lowest temperature we could conveniently obtain. It is likely however that the seven-co-ordinate species is fluxional and that the apparent equivalence of the pyS ligands results from exchange.We could not pursue this aspect further being unable to obtain frozen-out n.m.r. spectra nor good single crystals for X-ray structure determination. Neither compound (1) nor (2) was formed in very good yield and brown decomposition material accompanies their formation. Compound (2) does not react with pySH under the conditions of the preparation to give (1). We suspect that an intermediate such as [W(CO),(MeCN),(pySH)] is formed 232 1 Dicarbonyl(dimethylphenylphosphine)bis(pyridine-Zthionato-NS)- tungsten.

The edges N(1)-S( 1) and N(2)-S(2) are shown with solid lines to indicate that these are shorter than the others because of the chelate rings. The small angles in the chelate rings [N( 1)-W-S( 1) 64.1(2) N(2)-W-S(2) 64.8(2)O] are the main causes for the distortions from an idealised capped- octahedral geometry.

The scale of each spectrum is the same but they are offset with respect to each other asymmetry is also observed in the 'H n.m.r. spectrum in CDCl at - 53 "C (Table 1). The molybdenum analogue (5) also shows two sets of pyS signals and two Me doublets in the 'H n.m.r. spectrum in CD2C12 at -80 "C. Figures 3 and 4 show the temperature dependence of the 'H n.m.r. spectrum of (4). We did not make line-shape analyses of these spectra which would have given accurate kinetic data. However estimates of the exchange rates are 316 s-' at T (263 & 10 K) for the pyS 6-H 2323 PhMe2P 0 C -co W 1 N S N u \ s' 7 / 1-N PhMe;lP 0 d signals (Av = 142.4 Hz) and 60 s-' at T (238 10 K) for the methyl signals (Av = 27.2 Hz).When allowance is made for the 25 K temperature difference these rates could be for the same process. The AG* values are estimated to be 52 _+ 2 kJ mol-' for pyS ligand exchange and 50 & 2 kJ mol-' for the exchange of the diastereotopic methyl groups. We believe that these ex- changes are a consequence of the same process which would require a transition state or intermediate with a plane of symmetry passing through the W-P bond and also relating the two pyS ligands. There are various possible geometries such as (A) and (B) which would fit this but none is simply and obviously derived from the geometry found in the crystal.There may well be other processes occurring such as a turnstile rotation of the W(CO),(PMe,Ph) unit which are unobserved because they do not lead to exchange but may nonetheless be important for the fluxionality of this system.

X-Ray Structure Determination for [W(pyS),(CO),- (PMe,Ph)] (4).-A deep yellow crystal of complex (4) of size 0.24 x 0.14 x 0.30 mm deposited from a dichloromethane- methanol solution was chosen for study. Measurements were made at 290 K using a Nicolet R3v/m diffractometer operating in the 0-28 scan mode with graphite-monochromated Mo-K radiation (h = 0.710 73 A).Crystal data and details of the data collection structure solution and refinement are in Table 3. A total of 3 934 unique intensity data were corrected for Lorentz and polarisation effects and a decay correction calculated from the intensities of three standard reflections collected periodically throughout the experiment was also applied. The data were corrected for absorption using the azimuthal scan method p(Mo-K,) = 59.5 cm-'. The structure was solved by direct methods and a model containing 299 parameters was refined by alternating cycles of full-matrix least squares and by Fourier difference syntheses.All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically and hydrogen atoms included in the model for structure-factor calculations in idealised positions but their positions were not refined. The function minimised was [Zw(lF,I - IF,1)2/XwlFo12]~ with the weight w defined as 1/[02(Fo) + O.OO0 396FO2]. All calculations were carried out using a MicroVax I1 computer running SHELXTL PLUS.9 Atomic co-ordinates are given in Table 4.
