Characterization of an organometallic xenon complex using NMR and IR spectroscopy

Abstract

Xe has been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopies. The compound is an organometallic Xe complex that has been characterized by using NMR spectroscopy and is shown to be longer-lived than other organometallic Xe complexes by IR spectroscopy. 19

Formation and reactivity of organometallic alkane complexes

“…The photolysis of Re(Cp)(CO) 3 and related complexes in alkanes and noble gases provided significant advances in studying the interaction of weak ligands with transition metals [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]. The reaction of Re(Cp)(CO) 2 (n-heptane) with CO is particularly slow when compared with the other previously reported n-heptane complexes, Fig.…”

Are matrix isolated species really “isolated”? Infrared spectroscopic and theoretical studies of noble gas-transition metal oxide complexes

“…The Fe(CO) 4 radical reacts with Xe to form the Fe(CO) 4 (Xe) complex in supercritical liquid Xe solution [18]. Besides the above-mentioned noble gastransition metal carbonyl complexes, a number of noble gas-organometallic complexes such as ( 5 -C 5 H 5 )Mn(CO) 2 -(Xe), ( 5 -C 5 H 5 )M(CO) 3 (Xe) (M = Nb, Ta), Rh(CO)(PMe 3 ) 2 -(Ng) (Ng = Kr, Xe), ( 5 -C 5 H 5 )Rh(CO)(Ng) (Ng = Xe and Kr), Cp*Rh(CO)(Ng) (Cp* =  5 -C 5 Me 5 ; Ng = Xe and Kr), and Re( 5 -C 5 H 5 )(CO) 2 (Xe) have also been characterized in solution at room temperature [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Strong noble gas-transition metal bonding has been observed in some noble metal systems [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

Atypical Compounds of Gases, which Have Been Called “Noble”

“…81 As mentioned above, an unusual thing about these compounds is that number of ligands per metal cation is quite large (recollect, both XeF 2 and MF 6 2 may still act as bridging ligands to more then one metal center!). The total number of ligands may be as large as 3 per Ag I , Li I 86 PtNg, PtNg 2 and PdNg 2 , 87 XeM(CO) (M = Ni, Co), and XeM(N 2 ) (M = Ni), 88 NgMO (M = Cr … Ni, Ng = Ar … Xe), 89 organometallic complexes of Re and Xe, 90 and XeTi 2 , 91 have also been considered in this figure. Affinity of XeF 2 to act as a ligand towards 'naked' metal cations has been summarized in Fig.…”
