In the title compound, azido-2[kappa]N-bis­[[mu]-(1[eta]5:2[kappa]P)-di­phenyl­phosphino­cyclo­penta­dienyl][2([eta]5)-penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­di­enyl]­iron(III)­rhodium(III) hexa­fluoro­phosphate, [{Rh(C10H15)(N3)}{Fe([mu]-C17H14P)2}]PF6 or [FeRh(C10H15)([mu]-C17H14P)2(N3)]PF6, the coordination sphere of RhIII can be described as pseudo-tetrahedral, composed of two P atoms from a 1,1'-bis­(di­phenyl­phosphino)­ferrocene (dppf) ligand, an azido N atom and the centroid of the ring of a C5Me5 (Cp*) ligand. The two cyclo­penta­dienyl rings in the dppf moiety adopt an eclipsed conformation. The Rh...Fe distance is 4.340 (2) Å.

Comment top

Various redox-active ligands are employed to control the reactivities of transition-metal complexes (Gan & Hor, 1995). The dppf ligand [1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, Fe(C5H4PPh2)2] and its derivatives are well known redox-active ligands, and their complexes usually exhibit a ferrocene-based oxidation process, together with additional redox processes at other metal centres. Recently, an interesting Rh–dppf chloro complex, [Cp*RhCl(dppf)]PF6, was reported (Cp* is C5Me5), which was prepared by treating a chloro-bridged RhIII dimer, [Cp*RhCl2]2, with dppf and NaPF6 (Ma & Yamamoto, 1999). In order to compare structural features and to examine the redox properties of the Rh-dppf azido complex with respect to its chloro analogue, we have prepared the title compound, (I), and present its structure here. \sch

The coordination sphere of the Rh metal in (I) can be described as pseudo-tetrahedral. The two Cp (cyclopentadienyl) rings of the dppf ligand are not perfectly parallel, but are twisted from each other with a dihedral angle of 3.4 (1)°. The P1—C11···C16—P2 pseudo-torsion angle is 3.0 (4)°, indicating that the two Cp rings adopt an eclipsed conformation. For comparison, the ideal torsion angle for a gauche (or staggered) conformation is 36°. Both Fe—Cg (Cg is the centroid of a Cp ring) distances are 1.633 Å, and the Cg1—Fe—Cg2 angle (Cg1 is the centroid of the C11–C15 ring and Cg2 is the centroid of the C16–C20 ring) is 177.45°. The Cg*···Rh1—P1, Cg*···Rh1—P2 and Cg*···Rh1—N1 angles (Cg* is the centroid of the C1–C5 ring) are 125.45, 127.01 and 126.84°, respectively. The P1···Fe···P2 bite angle is 60.68 (5)°, and the P1···P2 distance is 3.526 (3) Å. These bonding parameters within a ferrocene moiety are consistent with those found in the chloro analogue, [Cp*RhCl(dppf)]PF6 (Ma & Yamamoto, 1999).

The Rh—N1—N2 bond angle of 127.6 (7)° in (I) agrees well with those found in six-coordinate RhIII azido complexes (Seok et al., 2002). Atom N3 in the azido ligand has a large displacement ellipsoid, probably due to its terminal position. The Rh—N bond length of 2.111 (7) Å indicates an Rh—N single bond (Davis et al., 1969; Lee & Lee, 1999). The Rh···Fe distance is 4.340 (2) Å, which clearly rules out a direct bonding interaction between the two metal atoms.

Experimental top

A solution of [Cp*RhCl(dppf)]PF6 (100 mg, 0.12 mmol) and AgNO3 (62 mg, 0.36 mmol) in a mixed solvent of dichloromethane and acetone (1:1, 30 ml) was stirred for 3 h at room temperature, and the solvent was removed under vacuum. The resulting solid was extracted with dichloromethane and neat N3SiMe3 (16 µl, 0.12 mmol) was added. The resulting solution was then stirred for 18 h and the solvent was removed. The remaining solid was washed with diethyl ether (20 ml × 2) to give the title compound, (I), which was recrystallized from dichloromethane-hexane (Ratio?) to give red crystals (0.074 g, 62.6%; m.p. 471–473 K). Spectroscopic analysis: IR (KBr, ν, cm−1): 2029 (N3), 843 (PF6); 1H NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 7.74–7.33 (20H, m, Ph), 4.91, 4.39, 4.29, 4.12 (8H, C5H4), 1.15 (15H, t, JPH = 4.0 Hz, C5Me5); 13C{1H} NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 135.7–128.8 (Ph), 104.7 (d, JRhC = 6.4 Hz, Cp* C5), 77.5–76.6 (C5H4), 8.59 (Cp* Me5); 31P{1H} NMR (CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 38.79 (d, JRhP = 146.5 Hz, dppf), −143.8 (sep, JPF = 708.2); analysis calculated for C44H43F6N3P3FeRh: C 53.95, H 4.43, N 4.29%; found: C 54.23, H 4.39, N 4.24%.

Refinement top

All the H atoms were generated in ideal positions and refined in a riding model, with C—H distances in the range 0.93–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Please check added text.

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. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. 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.
