Synthesis of ferrocenyldiimine metal carbonyl complexes and an investigation of the Mo adduct encapsulated in cyclodextrin

Abstract

Cr and Mo tetracarbonyl complexes bearing the diimine ligand N,N′-bis(ferrocenylmethylene)ethylenediamine (FcNN) have been prepared from the ligand and M(CO)6. Two isomeric forms of (FcNN)Mo(CO)4, corresponding to the cis,cis and cis,trans geometries with respect to the C[double bond, length as m-dash]N bonds of the free ligand, were shown to exist in a 1∶12.5 ratio by 1H NMR (NOE experiments). By contrast, only the trans,trans isomer is observed for the Cr complex (FcNN)Cr(CO)4. The compounds (FcNN)M(CO)4 show ferrocene-based irreversible oxidation processes that lead to the deposition of a film at the electrode surface. (FcNN)Mo(CO)4 was immobilised in permethylated β-CD (TRIMEB) by addition of the guest to a solution of TRIMEB in dichloromethane. Removal of the solvent led to the isolation of an inclusion compound with a 2∶1 host∶guest stoichiometry, as evidenced by powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR and 13C CP MAS NMR spectroscopy. The electrochemical properties of (FcNN)Mo(CO)4 upon encapsulation are discussed.
