Reaction of butadiene with cobalt(II) chloride in the presence of metallic zinc, ethanol, and triphenylphosphine gives the complex anti-π-but-2-enylbutadiene(triphenylphosphine)cobalt, (C4H7)(C4H6)CoPPh3. This is readily isomerized to the syn-isomer by action of PPh3, dimethyl sulphoxide, or pyridine. From isoprene an analogous complex (C5H9)(C5H8)CoPPh3 is obtained. The co-ordinated diolefin is displaced from these complexes by carbon monoxide to give the corresponding dicarbonyl derivatives. N.m.r. data for all of the complexes isolated are reported. Reaction of the complexes (C4H7)(C4H6)CoPPh3 and (C5H9)(C5H8)CoPPh3 with allene, 3-methyl-buta-1,2-diene, and acetylene gives highly crystalline linear polymers.

Magnetic susceptibilities in the temperature range 80—300 K, and electronic spectra of some octahedral and tetrahedral complexes of cobalt(II) chloride and nitrate, and nickel(II) chloride and bromide with 2,3-, 2,4-, 3,4-, and 3,5-lutidine are reported.

The i.r. spectra of various (π-ring)M(CO)2X complexes of chromium, manganese, and iron have been investigated in the regions 225–700 and 1850–2100 cm–1. Absorption bands due to vibrations of the (π-ring)M(CO)2 moieties are reported and assigned. Trends in frequencies and relative intensities of those bands which are due largely to the δ(MCO) vibrations are discussed, and shown to depend on the ligand X.

The crystal structure of a complex formed from isonitrosoacetophenone and potassium o-nitrophenolate having the formula KC6H4(NO2)OHONCHC(O)C6H5 has been determined. The crystals are monoclinic and have space group P21/c with Z= 4, a= 10·826(4), b= 5·581(3), c= 24·559(10)A, and β= 102°4′(1′). 1557 independent reflections collected on an automatic diffractometer were used to refine the structure by full-matrix least-squares methods to a conventional R of 0·053.The potassium is surrounded by eight electron-rich atoms of the ligands. Seven of these are oxygen atoms and one is the oxime-nitrogen atom. The two ligands may be regarded as chelates; the o-nitrophenol forms a six-membered ring and the isonitrosoacetophenone ligand makes a five-membered ring by the interaction of the potassium ion with the keto-oxygen atom and the oxime-nitrogen atom. Two oxygen atoms from the o-nitrophenolate interact with two symmetry-related potassium ions and thereby form a polymeric sequence parallel to the b-axis. The o-nitrophenolate is connected to the isonitrosoacetophenone by an apparently symmetrical hydrogen bond of length 2·51 A. The dimensions of the o-nitrophenolate ligand indicate a significant contribution of a quinonoid form.

Infrared spectra are reported for Fe3(CO)12, Ru3(CO)12, Os3(CO)12, and Ru3(CO)10(NO)2 in argon and nitrogen matrices at 20 K. There are strong similarities between the matrix and solution spectrum of Ru3(CO)12, or Os3(CO)12, or Ru3(CO)10(NO)2 and it appears that for M3(CO)12(M = Ru, Os) the isolated molecules are somewhat distorted from an idealized D3h symmetry, with greater distortions in argon than in nitrogen. The matrix spectrum of Fe3(CO)12 is completely different from the solution spectrum and indicates that the isolated molecule has the doubly bridged C2v structure observed in the solid. The results strengthen the hypothesis that Fe3(CO)12 is present in solution with a structure different from that in the solid.

1,5-Di-(2-hydroxyphenyl)- and 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(2-carboxyphenyl)-3-substituted formazans react with both cupric acetate and cuprous chloride in methanol to give square planar copper(II) complexes. In contrast, under comparable conditions, 1,5-di-(2-carboxyphenyl)-3-substituted formazans give copper(II) complexes containing two molecules of water, which are probably octahedral. With cupric chloride in methanol two competing reactions occur, metal complex formation and oxidation of the formazan to tetrazolium salt. The relative importance of these reactions is governed by the substituents on the formazan.

Compounds of MnII, CoII, NiII, CuII and ZnII of the type M(chelate)X2[where chelate =NN′-di-(3-aminopropyl)piperazine; X = one of a variety of anions] are reported. Square-pyramidal five-co-ordinate cations in the compounds [M(chelate)X]X and [M(chelate)X]Y are characterised for the following: where M = CoII, X = Br and I; where M = NiII, X = Cl, Br and possibly NCS; and where M = CuII, X = Cl, Br, I, NCS, and Y = ClO4, PF6. In addition, a five-co-ordinate species Cu(chelate)Cl2 in which the ligand is only terdentate with a free NH2, also is characterised. Four co-ordinate planar [MN4]2+ species also are characterised for NiII, CuII and perhaps CoII. No significant structural data is available for the MnII, FeII, or ZnII species. The structural assignments for the solid compounds rely on X-ray data (powder-pattern correlations with a known three-dimensional structure), i.r. and electronic spectra, and magnetic measurements. Structural studies of solutions in non-aqueous solvents also are reported. These rely on electronic spectra. Specific ion-pairing limits the use of conductivity data. The origin of the five-co-ordinate structures in these compounds is discussed in terms of the peculiar steric effects of the ligand, which is the precursor of a class of homologous ligands, each of which is expected to give five-co-ordinate compounds of these metals.

The polarised single-crystal electronic spectra and e.s.r. spectra of thiocyanatotriethylenetetraminecopper(II) thiocyanate have been measured. The correlation of the single-crystal g-values and the crystallographic data suggest a dxy ground-state for the approximately square-pyramidal CuN4S chromophore present. The electronic spectra are interpreted in C2v effective symmetry and yield a tentative partial one-electron orbital sequence: dxy > dz2 > dxz′≈dyz. The concept of varying tetragonal distortion, introduced to discuss the stereochemistry of six-co-ordinate copper(II) complexes, is extended to cover a five-co-ordinate square-pyramidal stereochemistry.
