RESUMO
The syntheses and reactivities of sterically encumbered trans-dioxoosmium(VI) complexes containing Schiff-base ligands bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexane-diamine (H2tBu-salch) and bis(3,5-dibromosalicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexane-diamine (H2Br-salch) are described. Reactions of [Os(VI)tBu-salch)O2] (1a) and [Os(VI)(Br-salch)O2] (1b) with PPh(3), p-X-arylamines (X = NO2, CN), N2H4 x H2O, Ph2NNH2, SOCl2, CF3CO2H, Br2, and I2 under reducing conditions gave [Os(II)(Br-salch)(OPPh3)2] (2), [Os(IV)(Br-salch)(p-X-C6H4NH)2] (3), [mu-O-{Os(IV)(tBu-salch)(p-NO2C6H4NH)}2] (4), [Os(II)(Br-salch)(N2)(H2O)] (5), [Os(IV)(tBu-salch)(OH)(Cl)] (6), [Os(IV)(tBu-salch)(OH)2] (7), [Os(IV)(tBu-salch)Cl2] (8), [Os(IV)(tBu-salch)(CF3CO2)2] (9), [Os(IV)(tBu-salch)Br2] (10), and [Os(IV)(tBu-salch)I2] (11), respectively. X-ray crystal structure determinations of [Os(IV)(Br-salch)(p-NO2C6H4NH)2] (3a), [Os(IV)(Br-salch)(p-CNC6H4NH)2] (3b), 6, 8, 9, and 11 reveal the Os-N(amido) distances to be 1.965(4)-1.995(1) A for the bis(amido) complexes, Os-Cl distances of 2.333(8)-2.3495(1) A for 6 and 8, Os-O(CF3CO2) distances of 2.025(6)-2.041(6) A for 9, and Os-I distances of 2.6884(6)-2.6970(6) A for 11. Upon UV irradiation, (1S,2S)-(1a) reacted with aryl-substituted alkenes to give the corresponding epoxides in moderate yields, albeit with no enantioselectivity. The (1R,2R)-6 catalyzed cyclopropanation of a series of substituted styrenes exhibited moderate to good enantioselectivity (up to 79% ee) and moderate trans selectivity.
RESUMO
A novel (mu-nitrido-diruthenium)-bridged 1-D coordination polymer was formed from reaction of K5[Ru2N(CN)10] with [Cu(en)2](ClO4)2; a similar reaction with [Cu(pn)2][(ClO4)2] (pn = 1,3-diaminopropane) gave ([Cu(pn)2]5[Ru2N(CN)10]2) as a discrete molecular compound; variable temperature susceptibility measurements show that there is a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(II) ions in 1-D polymer.
