The crystal structures of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene complexes of rhodium(I)

Abstract: SulnmaryThe molecular geometries of acetylacetonatodiethylenerhodium(1) and acetylacetonatoethylenetetrafluoroethylenerhodium (I) show that CzF4 is more closely bound to rhodium than C,H4, a consequence of increased n-bonding.ALTHOUGH the Chatt-Dewar scheme provides a good conceptual description of the bonding of olefins to transition metals, the relative importance of the a-and n-contributions to the bond is a controversial topic. We have determined the crystal structures of two bis-olefin-rhodium(1) complexe… Show more

“…The above discussion suggests that the effect of replacing hydrogen by fluorine is to strengthen the iron-to-olefin bonding and to increase the degree of o'-complexing. [Evans & Russell (1971) conclude from crystallographic studies that in rhodium complexes rc-complexing is increased.] The bonding between iron and olefin seems to be strengthened at the expense of a lengthening, and weakening, of the Fe-C(O) bonds.…”

“…The C=C bond length of the C EF 4 ligand is marginally longer than its value in other structures (Browning & Penfold, 1973;Evans & Russell, 1971;Green, Howard, Spencer & Stone, 1975a,b;Hitchcock, McPartlin & Mason, 1969;Guggenberger & Cramer, 1972) which ranges from 1.37 (3) to 1.44 (4) A. In view of the large e.s.d.…”

“…cis/trans optimized structures placed cis-stilbene close to the metal ion (3.8 and 4.3 between the olefinic carbons and the zinc [21] ), but placed trans-stilbene farther away (4.7 and 5.7 ). Hydrogenation would require that the p-electron cloud of the double bond face the metal center.…”
