Abstract A new ferrocenylphenyl butadiynyl compound Fc–C6H4–(C„C)2–C6H5 (L) has been synthesized by the Glaser cross-coupling reaction and three new complexes with a 4-ferrocenylphenyl-l-alkyne-dicobalt moiety, [Fc–C6H4–(C„C)n–R][Co2(CO)6]n 0 [Fc = C5H5FeC5H4, R = H, n = 1, n 0 = 1 (1); R = C6H5, n = 2, n 0 = 2 (2); R = Fc-C6H4, n = 2, n 0 = 2 (3) ], were obtained in the reaction of p-ferrocenylphenylacetylene compounds with Co2(CO)8. Compounds L, 1, 2 and 3 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H, 13C NMR and MS. The molecular and crystal structures of compounds L and 2 have been determined by X-ray single crystal analysis. There is a linear C5H4–C6H4–(C„C)2–C6H5 linkage in compound L, and the terminal ferrocenylphenyl and phenyl groups in complex 2 are a cis arrangement.  2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Metallic p-conjugated complexes have recently attracted considerable interest due to their physical and chemical properties, leading to potential electrical applications such as molecular wires for the construction of nanoscale electronic devices [1–7]. There has been much research on the coordination of conjugated alkynes to cobalt compounds [8–10]. Many works on the molecular design and synthesis of compounds with two transition metal terminals linked by a p-conjugated system have been published and the electronic communication between the two transition metal end groups has been revealed [11–16]. Compounds with phenyl and alkyne groups can be starting compounds for the synthesis of polynuclear metal complexes because of their reactivity with transition-metal clusters [17,18]. Therefore, studies on the reactions of p-conjugated diynes containing ferrocenyl and phenyl groups with metal carbonyl *

compounds have continuously appeared [19]. Our group has recently synthesized some p-conjugated compounds with phenyl, biphenyl and ferrocenyl groups and has studied the reactivity of Co2(CO)8 with the unsaturated C„C chain of these compounds [20–22]. Here, we describe the preparation and characterization of the new compounds Fc–C6H4–C„C–C„C–C6H5 (L) and [Fc–C6H4–(C„C)n–R][Co2(CO)6]n 0 [Fc = C5H5FeC5H4, R = H, n = 1, n 0 = 1 (1); R = C6H5, n = 2, n 0 = 2 (2); R = Fc-C6H4, n = 2, n 0 = 2 (3)], and the molecular and crystal structures of compounds L and 2 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. To our knowledge, the syntheses and structures of compounds L, 1, 2 and 3 have not been reported previously. 2. Results and discussion 2.1. Synthesis and characterization of compounds L, 1, 2 and 3 The new compound Fc–C6H4–(C„C)2–C6H5 (L) was synthesized by the Glaser cross-coupling reaction [23] of

Fc–C6H4–C„CH and C6H5–C„CH. Complexes [Fc– C6H4–(C„C)n–R][Co2(CO)6]n 0 [Fc = C5H5FeC5H4, R = H, n = 1, n 0 = 1 (1); R = C6H5, n = 2, n 0 = 2 (2); R = Fc– C6H4, n = 2, n 0 = 2 (3)] were obtained by the reactions of compounds Fc–C6H4–C„CH [24], Fc–C6H4–C„C– C„C–C6H5 (L) and Fc–C6H4–(C„C)2–C6H4–Fc [25] with excess Co2(CO)8, respectively (see Scheme 1). Compound L contains a linear C5H4–C6H4–(C„C)2–C6H5 linkage. One alkyne bond (for 1) or two alkyne bonds (for 2 and 3) coordinate with the Co–Co bonds in complexes 1, 2 and 3. Compound L is an orange yellow, air-stable crystalline compound that is soluble in both non-polar solvents such as benzene and polar solvents such as diethyl ether or chloroform. Complexes 2 and 3 are black, air-stable crystalline compounds, with solubilities similar to compound L. Complex 1 is a purple-black, air-stable crystalline compound, but it is air-sensitive in solution. The absorbing peaks of the FT-IR spectra in the region 2100–2013 cm1 correspond to the stretching vibrations of the coordinated CO groups, which confirm that there are coordinated Co2(CO)6 species. 1H and 13C NMR spectra reflect that there are the appropriate Fc, Ph, C„C and CO groups in L, 1, 2 and 3. The structure and composition of compounds L, 1, 2 and 3 are proven further by their elemental analyses and MS data. 2.2. Molecular structures of compounds L and 2 The crystal and molecular structures of compounds L and 2 were determined by X-ray single crystal analysis. Crystal data and relevant structural parameters are given in Table 1. The structures with the atom numbering schemes are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 2. The molecule of compound L contains a butadiynyl chain, of which the terminal groups are phenyl and p-ferrocenylphenyl groups (see Fig. 1). The bond distances ˚ ] and C(14)–C(15) [1.195(5) A ˚] C(12)–C(13) [1.198(5) A show there are two C„C triple bonds in L. The shorter ˚ ], C(13)–C(14) [1.370(6) A ˚ ] and C(9)–C(12) [1.436(5) A ˚ ] bond distances, compared to the C(15)–C(16) [1.437(5) A classical single bond length, are the result of electron delo-

In 2 the CO ligands coordinated to the Co atoms are terminal (vide IR) and the alkyne bonds adopt the typical l2-g2 coordination fashion, with the alkyne bond lying essentially perpendicular to the Co–Co bond in the C2Co2 units. The Co–Co bond dis˚ , are classical values for tances, in the range 2.452–2.461 A Co–Co bond lengths of similar complexes. The coordi˚; nated alkyne bond lengths of 2 [C(24)–C(25)1.349(7) A ˚ C(26)–C(27)1.355(8) A] are longer than that of L [C(12)– ˚ ) and C(14)–C(15) (1.195(5) A ˚ )] and are C(13) (1.198(5) A similar to the classical alkene bond length due to Co2(CO)6 units coordinated by diyne bonds.

It is noteworthy that the Co2(CO)6 units are coordinated to the alkyne bond in a trans arrangement and the two terminal groups (phenyl and ferrocenylphenyl) are in a cis arrangement (see Fig. 2). Because of the large ferrocenylphenyl substituted group, the molecular structure of 2 is quite different from [Fc–C„C–C„C–C6H5][Co2(CO)6]2 [20]. In L the dihedral angle [1.85(0.28)] between plane 1 [C(22)C(23)C(24)C(25)C(26)] and plane 2 [C(1)C(2)C(3)C(4)C(5)] shows that the two Cp planes in the Fc group are nearly parallel. The dihedral angle [16.15(0.21)] between plane 2 and plane 3 [C(6)C(7)C(8)C(9)C(10)C(11)] is deviated from parallel, and the dihedral angle [74.39(0.13)] between the two phenyl rings, that is plane 3 and plane 4 [C(16)C(17)C(18)C(19)C(20)C(21)], is nearly perpendicular. In 2 the dihedral angle [0.45(0.59)] of the two Cp rings shows that they are nearly parallel. It is interesting that the dihedral angle [9.20(0.47)] between the planes of the Cp ring [C(13)C(14)C(15)C(16)C(17)] and the phenyl ring [C(18)C(19)C(20)C(21)C(22)C(23)] becomes smaller than that of L. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings [C(18)C(19)C(20)C(21)C(22)C(23)] and [C(28)C(29)C(30)C(31)C(32)C(33)] alters from 74.39(0.13) to 86.71(0.23). The changes of the dihedral angles in 2 show that the increased steric requirements on the coordinated Co2(CO)6 groups lead to a twisting of the substituents away from each other. 3.

The black crystals of compounds L and 2 were mounted on a glass fibers. All measurements were made on a Bruker SMART APEX CCD diffractometer with graphite mono˚ ) radiation. All data chromated Mo Ka (k = 0.71073 A were collected at 20 C using the / and x scan techniques. All structures were solved by direct methods and expanded using the Fourier technique [26]. An absorption correction based on SADABS was applied [27]. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined by full matrix least-squares on F2. Hydrogen atoms were located and refined by the geometry method. The cell refinement, data collection and reduction were done by Bruker SMART and SAINT [28]. The structure solution and refinement were performed by SHELXSL 97 [29].

4. Conclusion A new ferrocenylphenyl butadiynyl ligand Fc–C6H4– (C„C)2–C6H5 has been synthesized by the Glaser crosscoupling reaction and three new cobalt coordinated complexes 1, 2, 3 have successfully been obtained by the addition reaction of Co2(CO)6 units to the alkyne bonds of p-ferrocenylphenylacetylene compounds. The synthesis and structure of compounds L and 2 are reported for the first time. The molecular structure of complex 2 shows that the Co2(CO)6 units coordinated to the alkyne bonds are in a trans arrangement. The molecular structure data demonstrate that the butadiynyl groups of ligand L are nearly linear and the coordinated butadiynyl groups in 2 have deviated from a linear structure.
