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. |

In the course of synthesizing functionalized biphenyl chromium tricarbonyl complexes, we became interested in (η6-2-bromo-1,1'-biphenyl)chromium tricarbonyl, (I), since the possibility of metal-halogen exchange at the 2-position of the molecule suggests its potential use as an intermediate in synthetic and mechanistic studies. Compound (I) has been previously described as being unexpectedly unreactive toward metal-halogen exchange when treated with n-butyl lithium, apparently due to steric interactions (Oprunenko et al., 1991; Oprunenko, 2000). In an effort to explore some of the steric interactions in the molecule, we studied the low-temperature 1H NMR spectra of (I), but saw no decoalescence of peaks at temperatures as low as 183 K, placing an upper boundary of 9 kcal mol−1 (1 kcal mol−1 = 4.184 kJ mol−1) on the rotational barrier about the (Ph)C—C(o-BrC6H4) bond of the biphenyl ligand. This relatively low barrier, similar to PM3 Please define results of 9.06 kcal mol−1 for the free ligand, suggests only a small amount of rotational steric hindrance in (I). Also, we have recently established that, while the compound is unreactive toward n-butyl lithium, the more reactive reagent tert-butyl lithium successfully brings about metal-halogen exchange in (I). This unexpected selectivity toward alkyl lithium reagents, uncertainties regarding steric interactions in the molecule, and the lack of any published mono-substituted biphenyl chromium tricarbonyl structures prompted us to explore the solid-state structure of (I), which is reported here. \sch
In the solid-state structure of (I), the Cr atom is in a typical piano-stool geometry, displaced by 1.7178 (11) Å from the plane of the phenyl ring. A Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version?; Allen, 2002) search on all the chromium tricarbonyl compounds with the Cr atom coordinating in an η6 fashion to a substituted phenyl ring returned 579 hits, from which the average Cr—C(Ph), Cr-centroid(Ph) and Cr—CO distances were 2.23 (4), 1.73 (2) and 1.83 (2) Å, respectively. Similar parameters for chromium tricarbonyl with a monosubstituted η6-coordinated phenyl ring are 2.22 (2), 1.716 (10) and 1.836 (12) Å, respectively, based on 77 hits in the CSD. These parameters are in excellent agreement with the data observed in the solid-state structure of (I), which are 2.225 (7), 1.7178 (11) and 1.849 (5) Å, respectively.
An interesting aspect of the structure of (I), also detected by the PLATON checking software (Spek, 2003), is the length of the C—C bonds within the coordinated phenyl ring. These average 1.415 (11) Å, a value noticeably exceeding the length of the idealized C—C bond with bond order 1.5. The corresponding C—C bond length in relevant compounds averaged 1.401 (16) Å, based on 242 entries in the CSD. During this CSD search it became obvious that, in a number of complexes, authors used the idealized C—C distance of 1.39 Å for their Cr-ligated phenyl rings; thus, we excluded those entries from the statistics cited above.
The dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl rings in (I) is 58.82 (6)°, a value in excellent agreement with the angle of 59.1° in the structure of (I) optimized at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory (GAUSSIAN98; Frisch et al., 1998) and close to the 62.5° dihedral angle in free 2-bromobiphenyl optimized at the B3LYP/6–31+G* level. These angles are close to the corresponding torsion angles between the phenyl rings in 2-hydroxybiphenyl [57.0 (7)°; Perrin et al., 1987] and 2-fluorobiphenyl [54 (3)°; Rajnikant et al., 1995]. In the solid-state structure of (I), the torsion angle in question depends on the close Br···Br(2 − x, 1 − y, −z) contacts [3.5882 (6) Å] that fall within the sum of two Br van der Waals radii. Additionally, each Br atom is in the vicinity of a third Br atom. However, this Br···Br(3 − x, −y, −z) separation [4.2645 (6) Å] is outside the van der Walls contact sphere. These two contacts, the interaction between the ortho-H atom of the non-coordinated ring with the Cr(CO)3 core, and the interaction between the Br atom and the ortho-H atom of the coordinated ring (Br···H6 3.09 Å) all play a role in determining the Ph—Ph torsion angle. However, it is impossible to quantify these contributions. If the observed conformation is predominant in solution, it appears that the Br atom of (I) would be easily accessible for Li—Br exchange, since it is known that metal-halogen exchange reactions require a 180° R—X—R geometry between an aryl halide R—X and an attacking alkyl lithium reagent R—Li (Beak & Allen, 1992).
