Comment top

We recently synthesized the first [1]alumina- and [1]gallaferrocenophanes (eq. 1) (Schachner et al., 2005a). We intended to use a similar procedure to prepare a hitherto unknown [1]indaferrocenophane and synthesized the starting material, (Pytsi)InCl2, (I) [Pytsi = C(SiMe3)2SiMe2(C5H4N-2); Schachner et al., 2005b]. In contrast with the respective dichlorides of aluminium and gallium (eq. 1), indane (I) is a chloro-bridged dimer in the solid state (eq. 2). Compound (I) reacted with dilithioferrocene, but did not gave the targeted [1]ferrocenophane. Instead, an unusual ferrocene derivative could be isolated, in which the two Cp ligands were bridged by an In(µ-Cl)2In moiety (eq. 2). This result might suggest that a monomeric indium dihalide is needed for the synthesis of the target [1]indaferrocenophane.

Reaction of InI3 with Li(THF)(Pytsi) (THF is tetrahydrofuran) in a 1:1 ratio resulted in (Pytsi)InI2, (II), in a moderate isolated yield of 56%. In contrast with the dichloride, (I), the title compound, (II), crystallizes as a monomer (Fig. 1).

The In atom in compound (II) is fourfold-coordinated by atoms I1, I2, C7 and N1. The In1/I1/I2/C7 subset can be described as a trigonal pyramid, with atom In1 at the centre of the trigonal base and atom N1 at the apex. The sum of the three angles I1—In1—I2, C7—In1—I1 and C7—In1—I2 is 356.4 (13)°, which is only a few degrees away from an idealized planar coordination. At first glance, the coordination of the In centre looks like that of a trigonal–bipyramid with one apical position unoccupied. A close inspection of the packing of the molecules shows an I atom at a distance of 4.3421 (4) Å, approximately along the axis of the trigonal pyramid, with the N1—In1—I1i angle being 165.79 (11)° [symmetry code: (i) Please provide symmetry code]. The In1—I1i distance is ~0.4 Å greater than the sum of the usually accepted van der Waals radii, which are 1.93 and 1.96 Å, respectively (Bondi, 1964).

Compound (II) is an example of a structurally characterized indium dihalide species with only fourfold-coordinated In atoms with monomeric molecular units in the crystal structure. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version?; Allen, 2002) for indium dihalides with at least one In—C or one In—N bond revealed that several species with fourfold coordination (Veith & Recktenwald, 1984; Veith et al., 1991; Annan et al., 1991; de Souza et al., 1993; Cowley et al., 1995; Fischer et al., 1996; Jutzi et al., 1996; Black et al., 1997; Delpech et al., 2002; Kuhner et al., 1998; Abernethy et al., 2000; Felix et al., 2000; Stender et al., 2001; Peppe et al., 2001; Cheng et al., 2002; Baker et al., 2002; Schulte & Gabbai, 2002; Bock et al., 2004) and one species with threefold coordination are known (Schulz et al., 1993; Petrie et al., 1993). However, all known species with tetra-coordination exhibit In in a tetrahedral environment. From the study of Lewis acid–base adducts, it is known that the pyramidalization of the Lewis acid moiety becomes more pronounced with increasing donor bond strength (see, for example, Jiao et al., 1994; Jonas et al., 1994). If this effect were to be of importance in species (II), then the nearly planar I2InC moiety would suggest a very weak In—N donor interaction. The weakness of the bond should be evident in an unusually long In—N bond. However, the known indium dichloride (η1-Me4C5CH2CH2NMe2)InCl2, in which the In atom shows a similar set of coordinated atoms to those in compound (II), exhibits tetrahedrally surrounded In atoms, with an In—N bond length of 2.265 (5) Å (Jutzi et al., 1996). Within the standard uncertainty, the In—N distance in compound (II) is the same (Table 1).

We can only speculate that the unusual coordination geometry of In in compound (II) results mainly from steric crowding in the vicinity of In. It may be that the large I atoms and two bulky SiMe3 groups do not allow for a pyramidalization of the Lewis acid moiety. To the best of our knowledge, compound (II) is the first indium dihalide with such an unusual coordination polyhedron (Fig. 1).

Experimental top

InI3 (1.642 g, 3.31 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (THF; 25 ml) at 195 K was added to Li(THF)(Pytsi) (Al-Juaid et al., 2000; 1.236 g, 3.31 mmol) in THF (10 ml) at 195 K, resulting in a green solution. The solution was stirred for 1 h at 195 K before being allowed to warm to room temperature. After the mixture had been stirred for an additional 16 h, all volatiles were removed in vacuo and a green solid was left behind. This crude product was washed with diethyl? ether (3 × 15 ml) and the washings were combined and filtered. Subsequently, the solvent was removed in vacuo and the remaining solid was heated to 373 K under vacuum to remove unreacted starting materials by a flask-to-flask condensation. Diethyl ether (10 ml) was added to the remaining solid, and the resulting solution was filtered and finally kept at 248 K to afford (II) (1.237 g, 56%). Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (500 MHz, C6D6, 298 K, δ, p.p.m.): 0.26 (18H, s, SiMe3), 0.36 (6H, s, SiMe2), 6.32 (1H, pst, 5-H), 6.72 (1H, pst, 4-H), 6.79 (1H, d, J = 7.6 Hz, 3-H), 8.46 (1H, d, J = 5.4 Hz, 6-H); 13C NMR: 3.97 (SiMe2), 6.55 (SiMe3), 125.50 (5-C), 129.48 (3-C), 138.83 (4-C), 147.81 (6-C), 169.32 (ipso-C); MS: m/z = 536 (100) [C14H28IInNSi3]+, 264 (85) [C12H22NSi3]+.

H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H distances in the range 0.95–0.99 Å, and included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) constrained to be 1.2Ueq(C) for all aromatic H atoms and 1.5Ueq(C) for all methyl H atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
