A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on [Co,(p-I) (p-CO) (CO),{p- (MeO),PN( Et) P(OMe),},] BPh confirms that these cations have A-frame structures with a neutral ligand CO occupying a bridging site additional to the bridging halogen atom.For R = M e (only) the cations slowly undergo a Michaelis-Arbusov type rearrangement initiated by attack of halide ions at a co-ordinated phosphorus atom to give the neutral complexes [Co,(p-X)(p-CO) (CO),- The latter could not be isolated but [Co,(p-I)(p-CO)(CO),{p-( Pr'O),PN(Et) P(OPr'),}{p-(Pr'O),PN( Et)P(O)(OPr'))] is readily isolated from the reaction of [Co,(p-I) (p-CO) ( CO),{p- (Pr'O),PN (Et) P(0Pri),},] + with hydride ions. When undistilled (Analar grade) rather than freshly distilled CCI is used t o chlorinate [CO,(CO),- Et complexes [M2(p-CO)(CO)p{p-(RO)2PN(Et)P(OR)2}2] (M = {p-(MeO),PN(Et)P(OMe),},] an unexpected product viz.[Co(CO),{P(OMe),},{(MeO),- PN( Et) P(OM~),-KP}] + is formed; this cation contains one cobalt atom bonded to two trimethyl phosphite ligands two carbonyl ligands and a pendant diphosphazane ligand as confirmed Et X-ray crystal log rap h ical ly. We are making extensive use of diphosphazane ligands of the type R2PN(Et)PR2 (R = aryl alkyl aryloxy or alkoxy group) to bridge two metal atoms in dinuclear or polynuclear com- plexes thereby stabilizing them to fragmentation to mono- nuclear species. For example an extensive chemistry of the Fe or Ru R = Me or Pr')' has been developed in which the two metal atoms are held in close proximity to each other by the bridging ligands during a reaction.Another consequence of this approach is that the presence of a bridging bidentate donor ligand leads to an increase in the electron density at the metal atom centres with the result that complexes containing these ligands are electron-rich. For this reason the [M,(p-C0)- (CO)4{p-(RO),PN(Et)P(OR)2)2] (R = Me or Pr') complexes are susceptible to attack by a wide range of electrophilic reagents especially protons and halogens leading to a host of new products some with fascinating structures and others with potential as multicentred catalysts.2 Of relevance here is our use of diphosphazane ligands to synthesize tetrasubstituted derivatives of [co2(co)8] viz. [Co,(CO),{ p-(RO)2PN(Et)P(OR),),1 (1; R = Me or Pr') in which the two cobalt atoms are bridged by two diphosphazane ligands.The bridging ligands are expected to hold the two cobalt atoms in close proximity to each other during a reaction in contrast to [co2(co)8] itself where for example substitu- tion of CO by Group 15 donor ligands frequently leads to fragmentation and formation of mononuclear p r o d ~ c t s . ~ More- over complexes (1) are electron-rich and as such are expected to be very susceptible to attack by electrophilic reagents. Thus the original aim of this work was to develop the chemistry of complexes (1) and in particular to attempt the synthesis of dicobalt dihydrido complexes of the type [CO,H,(CO)~{~- phen ylborate. (RO),PN(Et)P(OR),),] as well as the disubstituted derivatives [Co,H,(CO),{p-(RO),PN(Et)P(OR)2)]; the latter could be 266 1 l+ regarded as dinuclear analogues of the mononuclear commerci- ally useful hydroformylation catalyst [COH(CO>,(PBU,)].~ Our approach to the conversion of complexes (1) into dihydrido species has been two-fold.One has been to treat them with protons the result being the formation of complexes of the type rCo,(p-H)(CO),{ C1-(Ro),PN(Et)P(oR>2),1+ (R = Me or Pri); unfortunately subsequent addition of hydride ions merely served to deprotonate the cation rather than to result in the formation of the desired dihydrido complex.6 The other approach is represented here; complexes (1) are treated with halogenating agents with the aim of synthesizing compounds which can be used as precursors for the synthesis of dicobalt dihydrido complexes.t ~-Carbonyl-~-iodo-bis(~-1,1,3,3-tetramethoxydiphosphazane- 1 KP' 2~P~)-bis(dicarbonylcobalt) (Co-Co) and dicarbonyl( 1 I ,3,3- tetramethoxydiphosphazane-KP)bis(trimethyl ph0sphite)cobalt tetra- Supplementary data available see Instructions for Authors J.

There are two cations in the asymmetric unit labelled A and B (p-CO)(CO),{p-(MeO)2PN(Et)P(OMe)2}2]BPh4 (see below). Bromination of complexes (1) could also be achieved using carbon tetrabromide as the halogenating agent. Indeed chlorination of complexes (1) was best achieved by using excess carbon tetrachloride as the halogenating agent; the reaction was carried out in toluene in the presence of sodium tetraphenylborate and the precipitate which separated from the toluene solution was crystallized from dichloromethane-light petroleum to give orange crystals of [Co,(p-Cl)(p-CO)(CO),- {p-(RO)2PN(Et)P(OR)2}2]BPh (R = Me or Pri).Table 1 gives the characterizing analytical and spectroscopic data. It should be noted that unlessfreshly distilled carbon tetrachloride is used the reaction takes a different route (see below). Halo- genation of complexes (1) therefore parallels the iodination of the stoicheiometrically equivalent,' but structurally differ- ent,* [Co2(C0),{p-Ph2PCH2PPh2)23 complex; in the latter reaction the cation [Co,(p-I)(p-CO)(CO),{ p-Ph,PCH,- PPh,},]' is formed; thus in all these halogenation reactions formally a 'halogenonium ion' adds across the metal-metal bond with loss of carbon monoxide and formation of a bridging carbonyl group. The band patterns in the v(C0) region of the i.r. spectra of cations (2) (Table 1) are very similar to those reported for CRh2(~-X>(CI-Co)(Co)2{~-(R0)2pN(Et)P(OR)2} 21 + (X = CL Br or I; R = Me or Ph),' [Co2(p-I)(p-CO)(CO),(p-Me,- Results and Discussion Halogenation of [CO~(CO),(~-(RO)~PN(E~)P(OR),),I (1) in toluene using 1 equivalent of iodine or bromine resulted in the formation of a new compound as evidenced by the appearance of new peaks in the v(C0) region of the i.r.spectrum of the reaction mixture; in particular a strong band in the bridging carbonyl region appeared.

Interestingly the Co-Co distance is significantly shorter than the 'bite' of the bridging diphosphazane ligands (average P P distance 2.843 A); in fact this is to the best of our knowledge the shortest reported distance between two atoms bridged by diphosphazane ligands of the type R,PN(R')PR (R = alkyl aryl alkoxy or aryloxy group; R' = alkyl group). + The halogenation reactions of complexes (1) contrast their protonation reactions since in the latter CO loss does not occur; complexes (1) react with protons to form bridging - 90 "C.There are two sets of resonances one of ca. fifteen lines hydrido species of the type [CO,(~-H)(CO),{~-(RO)~PN(E~)- centred at 147.55 p.p.m. and the other of ca. eight lines centred at P(OR),},]+ (R = Me or Pri).6 Yet it is apparent that a tetracarbonyl complex is a likely intermediate in the halo- genation reactions and for this reason the iodination and bromination of complexes (1) were monitored at regular time intervals using i.r. spectroscopy.

Unfortunately it was not possible to isolate this compound when dichloromethane was used as the solvent but it was possible to isolate yellow crystals from the reaction of [Co2(CO),{p-(MeO)2PN(Et)P(OMe)2}2] with Analar grade carbon tetrachloride in the presence of NaBPh when methanol was used as the solvent. The analytical and spectroscopic data in Table 1 are consistent with the compound being [Co(CO),- { P(OMe)3)2{(MeO)2PN(Et)P(OMe)2-~P}]BPh,; of note is the presence of three peaks in the 31P-{1H} n.m.r.spectrum indicative of three inequivalent phosphorus atoms in the compound. However a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study was necessary to establish fully the identity and structure of this compound. Figure 2 gives a perspective view of the cation while Table 3 summarizes some important distances and angles. The cation is indeed mononuclear the geometry at the cobalt atom being trigonal bipyramidal with the axial positions occupied by P(OMe) groups and the equatorial positions by two carbonyl groups and by a pendant diphosphazane ligand. Clearly some 'impurity' in the Analar grade carbon tetrachloride causes the chlorination reaction to proceed via a different route to that occurring when freshly distilled carbon tetrachloride is used.In particular cleavage of Co-Co Co-P and P-N bonds must J. CHEM. SOC. DALTON TRANS. 1990 occur to yield eventually a mononuclear complex with a pendant diphosphazane ligand two carbonyl ligands and two co-ordinated P(OMe),Cl groups the latter being rapidly solvolysed to give trimethyl phosphite ligands if methanol is used as solvent. No attempt has been made to ascertain the nature of the 'impurity' in the Analar grade carbon tetrachloride but it can be noted that on every occasion that the chlorination of complexes (1) was attempted with Analar grade carbon tetrachloride the unexpected mononuclear product was ob- tained.Experimental Although none of the compounds reported here is particularly air-sensitive all the manipulations (reactions chromatography and recrystallizations) described below were carried out under inert atmospheres of either dinitrogen or argon. Proton and 31P-{ 'H} n.m.r. data were obtained on a Varian FT80A instrument at 20 "C using deuteriated solvent as internal lock and reference ('H SiMe, 6 = 0; 31P 85% H3P04 in D,O 6 = 0 downfield positive). Infrared spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer 457 grating spectrometer. Microanalysis for C H and N was performed in the Microanalytical laboratory of the Department of Chemistry University of Natal Pietermaritz- burg. The compounds [Co2(C0),{ p-(RO)2PN(Et)P(OR)2}2] (R = Me or Pr') were prepared as described previ~usly.~ Synthese~.-[Co,(p-X)(p-CO)(CO)~ (p-(RO),PN(Et)- P(OR),},]Z (X = Br or I R = Me or Pr' Z = ,BPh or PF,).An equimolar amount of NaBPh (NH,PF in the case of X = Br R = Me) dissolved in the minimum of methanol was added to a solution of [Co2(CO),{p-(RO)2PN(Et)P(OR)2}2J (0.200 g) in toluene (25 cm3). An equimolar amount of iodine (or bromine) dissolved in the minimum of toluene was added dropwise to the stirred solution over a period of ca. 10 min. The solution was stirred for a further 30 min during which time a precipitate separated. The solution was filtered and the precipitate crystallized from dichloromethane-light petroleum (b.p. 60-80°C) to give an orange crystalline solid. Typical yield 80%.cc02 (p-cl) (p:co) ( c o ) 2 { p-(RO) 2 PN(Et)P(OR) 2 } 2 1 BPh4 (R = Me or Pr'). Equimolar amounts (ca. 0.5 mmol) of carbon tetrachloride (freshly distilled) and NaBPh were dissolved in toluene (35 cm3) to which sufficient methanol had been added to ensure dissolution of the NaBPh,. The solution was stirred and [CO,(CO),{~-(RO)~PN(E~)P(OR),),I (0.30 mmol) dissolved in dichloromethane (10 cm3) was added dropwise over a period of ca. 10 min. The reaction mixture was stirred for a further 2-3 h by which time a green oil had precipitated. The solvent was removed in uacuo and the oily residue recrystallized from dichlorometbane-light petroleum (60-80 "C) to produce red- orange crystals of [Co (p-Cl)( p-CO)(CO) { p-(RO) PN( E t)- P(OR),},]BPh (R = Me or Pri).Yield 75%. [CO~(~-I>(~-CO)(CO)~ { ~ - ( P r ~ 0 ) ~ PN(Et)P(OPr'),} { p- (Pr'O),PN(Et)P(O)(OPr')}]. A solution of [Co,(p-I)(p-C0)- (CO),{ ~-(P~'O),PN(E~)P(OPI-')~}~]I (ca. 0.3 mmol) was pre- pared by addition of an equimolar amount of iodine to a stirred solution of [Co2(C0),{ p-(Pr'O),PN(Et)P(OPr'),) 2] (0.3 1 g 0.30 mmol) in methanol (25 cm3). The i.r. spectrum of the solution confirmed the clean formation of [Co,(p-I)(p-CO)- (CO)2{p-(PriO)2PN(Et)P(OPri)2}2] Cv(C0) see Table 13. A large excess of NaBH (ca. 0.5 g) was added and the solution stirred for ca. 1 h. The solution was filtered through Celite the solvent removed in uacuo and the residue extracted with toluene. The volume of the toluene extract was reduced and the concentrate subjected to column chromatography on alumina (Activity 111 15 x 2 cm column) using dichloromethane-light -+ J.CHEM. SOC.

The weighting scheme w = l.000/[02(F) + 0.001F2] isotropic. Phenyl rings refined as rigid groups; H atoms not gave satisfactory agreement analyses. Final R and R' values are 0.1 1 1 and 0.1 17. Inversion of the atom co-ordinates followed by a complete refinement resulted in an insignificant increase in R'. Maximum shift/e.s.d. in last least-squares cycle = 0.1 1. Final Fourier difference map featureless with maximum peak All computations made with the programs height = 2.0 e SHELX 76 and SHELX 86.22 Final atomic co-ordinates are listed in Table 5.Additional material available from the Cambridge Crystal- J. CHEM. SOC. DALTON TRANS. 1990 lographic Data Centre comprises thermal parameters and remaining bond lengths and angles.
