The synthesis of 4 surprisingly requires the reaction to be carried out under a hydrogen atmosphere and occurs via the intermediate dihydride RhCl(H)(2)(IPr)(P-N) (3). Complexes 4-7 in benzene readily undergo irreversible oxidative addition of O-2 to form the corresponding Rh(III) peroxide complexes 9-12. For comparative purposes, RhCl(PPh3)(P-N) (8) was synthesized from RhCl(PPh3)(3), and this also added O-2 to form a peroxo complex (13). All of the complexes were generally characterized by elemental analysis and H-1, P-31{H-1}, and C-13{H-1} NMR and IR spectroscopies and, in the cases of 9, 10, and 13, by X-ray crystallography.},

The behaviour of 1 as a potential precursor in the generation of a dinitrogen coordination complex is described.

	abstract = {The solid-state molecular structure of Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)(2) (1) has been shown to contain one "strongly agostic" and one "weakly agostic" methylene hydrogen atom by a neutron diffraction analysis at 120 K and by an X-ray diffraction analysis at -100 degreesC. The X-ray diffraction analysis of Cp*W(NO)(CH2SiMe3)(2) (2) at -20 degreesC reveals that its solid-state molecular structure possesses a crystallographically imposed mirror plane. Consequently, only the average existence of a relatively strong C-(HM)-M-... interaction for each hydrocarbyl ligand in 2 in the solid state can be established. The H-1 and gated C-13{H-1} NMR spectra of representative Cp{\textquoteright}M(NO)(R)(R{\textquoteright}) (M = Mo, W; R = hydrocarbyl, R{\textquoteright} = hydrocarbyl, halide, amide) complexes exhibit spectral parameters for the alpha -H and alpha -C atoms (i.e., delta (H), delta (C), Delta delta (H), DeltaJ(HC), and J(HW)) that provide evidence for the presence of a-agostic interactions in the molecular structures of these complexes in solution. The picture that has emerged from these investigations is that these complexes do adopt an a-agostic structure both in solution and in the solid state when secondary interactions such as pi -electron donation are weak (as in Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)Cl), competitive (as in Cp*W(NO)(CH2CMe3)(CH2Ph)), or not possible (as in Cp*W(NO)(hydrocarbyl)(2) complexes generally). The bis(hydrocarbyl) complexes are probably stereochemically nonrigid in solution, as they appear to interconvert between the two limiting structures having one strongly agostic and one weakly agostic hydrocarbyl ligand. The neopentyl ligand forms alpha -agostic linkages with the metal centers in all neopentyl complexes studied, and these agostic interactions appear to be independent of the nature of the metal or the ancillary cyclopentadienyl ligand. Interestingly, the presence of these groundstate agostic interactions does not correlate with the tendency of the various compounds to undergo intramolecular alpha -H abstraction reactions and form reactive alkylidene complexes.},

The X-ray crystal structure shows the scandium centre to reside in a square pyramidal environment with the [N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] - ligand bound in a pseudo-meridional fashion. The H-1 NMR spectrum is consistent with a C-s symmetric structure in solution. Metathesis of the chloride ligand with RLi (R = Me, Ph, BH4) yields the five-coordinate species Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)R[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)]. Phenyl 3 and borohydride 4 are isolated as crystalline solids, while methyl 2 resisted crystallization. 2-4 exhibit H-1 NMR spectra consistent with C-s symmetric solution structures. Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)Ph[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (3) was characterized in the solid state and found to have a similar geometry to that of the parent chloride.

Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)(BH4)[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (4) reacts with PMe3 to produce the putative hydride, Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)H[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (7); this species was identified in solution. An equilibrium between 4, PMe3, 7, and PMe3,BH3 exists which greatly favors the starting scandium-borohydride. Crystals of Sc(eta(5)-C5H5)Cl[N((SiMe2CH2PPr2)-Pr-i)(2)] (1) are monoclinic},

The X-ray crystal structure shows the hydride to be monomeric, and free from interaction with either salt (LiCl) or external base (Et2O). The coordination of both phosphines of the macrocycle to the metal center is found in the solid state. Solution molecular weight measurements are consistent with a monomeric structure. The gallium hydride syn-GaH[P2N2] (5) is synthesized by the addition of LiGaH4 to syn-MCl[P2N2] (M = Ga (2), In (3)). This species is unstable and could only be characterized in solution.

Although volatile compounds of other elements were readily detected in the culture headspace, volatile antimony compounds were formed irreproducibly and at only ultratrace levels. In order to monitor the media for nonvolatile methylantimony compounds, a method of sample preparation was developed, based on solid-phase extraction. This enabled the separation of large quantities of soluble inorganic antimony species from trace amounts of organo-antimony compounds before speciation by HG-GC-AAS, By this methodology methylated antimony compounds were detected at concentrations of 0.8- 7.1 mu g Sbl(-1) in all media in which S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(III) compounds. These methylantimony species were not detected in any of the nonliving or medium-only controls. Methylated compounds were not detected where S. brevicaulis was grown in the presence of antimony(V) compounds. This is the first study to show that antimony(III) compounds are biomethylated by S. brevicaulis under aerobic-only growth conditions. (C) 1998 John Wiley \& Sons, Ltd.},

Such chemistry is of relevance in the biological sulfur cycle, in the formation of ores, in hydrodesulfurization catalysis, and in the use of H2S as a source of Hz and elemental sulfur (or organosulfur compounds). Literature dealing with these topics is plentiful and can be traced through recent references.(1,2) However, isolation and characterization of metal complexes containing H2S remain challenging,(2,3) as such species tend to undergo oxidative addition reactions to give products with SH ligands or bridged or terminal sulfide,(4) and only recently has an H2S complex been characterized crystallographically.(2) This was the structure reported by Sellmann et al. of the Ru(II)-complex Ru(SH2)(PPh3)({\textquoteright}S-4{\textquoteright}).
