[{Ni2(μ‐CNMe)(CNMe)4(Ph2PCH2PPh2)}2Hg]‐[NiCl4], a Spirocyclic Ni4Hg Cluster with an HgII‐Center

Abstract: “Molecular nickel‐plated mercury”; so might one describe the unprecedented substance cited in the title of this contribution. The two Ni2Hg planes in the spirocyclic Ni4Hg core are staggered by 34.6(1)°. The Ni4Hg cluster results from a quantitative reaction between Ni(CNMe)4, Ph2PCH2PPh2, and HgCl2 in THF.

“…Selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table . The most reasonable Ni−Hg separation that can be derived from the data is 2.756(8) Å, which is greater than those reported for complexes believed to contain covalent Ni−Hg bonds, such as [{Ni 2 (μ-CNMe)(CNMe) 4 (dppm) 2 }Hg][NiCl 4 ] [2.617(2)-2.682(2) Å], [Hg{Ni((GePh 3 )(HgGePh 3 )(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )) 2 ] [2.462(3) Å], and [Hg{Ni(η 5 -C 5 H 5 )(PEt 3 ) 2 } 2 ] [2.468(1) Å] . Thus, as with the analogous platinum and palladium complexes, the metal−mercury distance in 11 seems to indicate a weak Ni → Hg interaction.…”

“…Only a few Ni-Hg complexes have been reported in the Cambridge Structural Database; 60−67 Kubiak has reported a Hg center bound to four Ni centers, albeit in a distorted planar-Hg geometry. 67 The closest structural analogues with respect to the capping μ 4 -Hg environment in 2 have been reported in Au, Au/Pd, and Au/Pt clusters. 68,69 Similarly to 1, samples of 2 in C 6 D 6 were found to undergo H/ D exchange with the solvent, which could be monitored by a decrease of the hydride resonance intensity in the 1 H NMR and an increase in the intensity of the C 6 D 5 H resonance.…”

“…The d 10 -d 10 , dppm bridged dinuclear nickel complex Ni 2 (µ-CNCH 3 )(CNCH 3 ) 2 (µ-dppm) 2 (1) exhibits rich chemistry ranging from simple redox chemistry to transmetalation and multiple bond metathesis. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Previously, the oxidation of 1 to 1 2+ and several reactions of 1 with electrophiles were reported. [1][2][3][4] The bridging isocyanide of 1 can be alkylated with alkyl halides to form [Ni 2 (µ-CN(R)Me)(CNMe) 2 (µdppm) 2 ] + .…”

“…3,4 The bridging isonitrile of 1 is labile and is readily exchanged 2+ , respectively. [8][9][10][11] Prior to the studies presented here, no investigations of the effects of altering the isocyanide ligands have been reported. Similarly, the nature of the mixed valencies in the +1 and +2 states had not been characterized.…”
