A General Pathway to Heterobimetallic Triple-Decker Complexes.

ABSTRACT: A systematic study on the reactivity of the triple-decker complex [(Cp'''Co)₂ (μ,η⁴ :η⁴ -C₇ H₈ )] (A) (Cp'''=1,2,4-tritertbutyl-cyclopentadienyl) towards sandwich complexes containing cyclo-P₃ , cyclo-P₄ , and cyclo-P₅ ligands under mild conditions is presented. The heterobimetallic triple-decker sandwich complexes [(Cp*Fe)(Cp'''Co)(μ,η⁵ :η⁴ -P₅ )] (1) and [(Cp'''Co)(Cp'''Ni)(μ,η³ :η³ -P₃ )] (3) (Cp*=1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) were synthesized and fully characterized. In solution, these complexes exhibit a unique fluxional behavior, which was investigated by variable temperature NMR spectroscopy. The dynamic processes can be b
