Abstract The structure of [(E,E~-3,4-bis~2,4,6-tri-t-butyiphenylphosphinid~ne~-l,2-bis(trimethylsilyl~yclobutene~tetracarb~nylmo~ybdenum~0~ has been analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The structure of the free ligand, diphosphinidenecyclobutene, has also been analyzed and compared with that of the metal carbonyl complex.
Bidentate diphosphane ligands with sp”-type hybridized phosphorus atoms such as 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) have been widely used in organometallit chemistry as well as in organic synthesis 111. In contrast, bidentate phosphaalkene ligands containing sp2-type hybridized phosphorus atoms are rarely used because of their instability at a low-coordinated phosphorus atom. However, our recent strategy of steric protection using bulhy substituents has permitted us to isolate those unusual compounds as stable species [2]. By introducing an extremely bulky 2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenyl group (Ar group) into a molecule, we have been successful in preparing various types of compounds carrying phosphorus atoms in low coordination states such as diphosphenes [3], phosphaalkenes [4], and phosphacumulenes [5]. Some sterically protected 1,4-diphospha-1,IVbutadienes had been prepared by Appel et al. [6-81 and more recently a 2,2-biphosphinine had been synthesized by Mathey et al. [9] as a phosphorus analogue of bipyridine. Recently, Mark1 et al. [ 101 and we [ll] have independently reported the preparations of 3,4-bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylphosphinidene~-1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)cyclobutenes (4 and 5) cia sigmatropic rearrangement from 1,6-diphospha-1,2,4,5hexatetraene (3) and/or diethynyldiphosphane (21, which was prepared from trimethylsilylethynylphosphane (1). The diphosphinidenecyclobutenes 4 and 5 might

was added at that temperature to give 1,2-bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenyl)-l,Zbis(trimethylsilylethynyl)diphosphane (2). The diphosphane 2 was unstable towards heat and gradually isomerized, even at room temperature, to a phosphaallenyl compound, 3,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,6-bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenyl)-1,6-diphospha-l,2,4,5hexatetraene (3). This phosphaallenyl compound 3 was further converted, but very slowly, at room temperature to the (E,E)_3,4-diphosphinidenecyclobutene 4. Yellow crystals.

The yield of 4 based on 1 was 44% together with 3 (35% yield), after 30 min refluxing in toluene without the isolation process of 2. Because of facile photoisomerization by sunlight between 4 and 5, the whole procedure treating 4 was carried out in the dark [20 * 1.

Preparation of [( E,E)-3,4-Bis(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenylphosphinidene)-l,2-bis(trimethylsiiylkyclobutene]tetracarbonylmolybdenum (0) (6). The complex 6 was prepared according to the following three methods [12]. A solution of 4 (25.0 mg, 0.033 mmol) and 5.1 mol. equiv. of Mo(CO), (44.0 mg, 0.17 mmol) in dioxane (2.5 ml) was refluxed in the dark for 1 h (method A). Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure followed by flash column chromatography (SiO,/pentane) afforded 24.1 mg (76%) of 6. The reaction of 4 with excess (THF)Mo(CO), (5 mol equiv.) in THF at room temperature for 3 h (method B) also afforded the complex 6 in 75% yield. The reaction of 4 with 1.5 mol equiv. of (bicyclo[2.2.l]hepta-2,5-diene)tetracarbonylmolybdenum(O) in refluxing toluene for 20 h (method C) gave the same molybdenum(O) complex 6 in 44% yield.

Both structures of 4 and 6 were solved using SHELX~~ [21]. All hydrogen atoms, except for those of p-t-butyl groups, could be located on difference Fourier syntheses. Full-matrix least-squares refinements with anisotropic temperature factors for non-hydrogen atoms and isotropic hydrogens converged to R = 0.075 and R, = 0.098 for 4 and R = 0.058 and R, = 0.059 for 6 [22].

The synthesis and X-ray structure of (E,Z)_S has been reported independently by us [ll] and by Mlrkl et al. [lo]. It should be noted that Miirkl et al. assigned a singlet peak (8(P) 164.911 in “P NMR to that for (E,ZJ-5 [lo]. However, as we have reported in the previous paper Ill], (E,Zl-5 was observed in AB pattern (8(P) 197.4 and 176.6, ‘J(PPl= 14.6 Hz), although the X-ray structures for (.E,ZJ-5 were both the same. It seems likely that the spectroscopic data reported by Mark1 et al. for “(E,Z)-5” correspond to those of our (E,E)-4 (S(P) 162.91, the structure of which was confirmed by the X-ray analysis as shown in this text. This discrepancy may be due to the facile E-Z photosiomerization [ll], which can take place during the recrystallization process for the X-ray analysis. All our recrystallization processes for (E,Zl-5, (E, El-4, and 6 were performed in the dark. G.M.
