Abstract

The crystal structures of two solvates of fac-tri­chlorido­tris­(tri­methyl­phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) are reported, i.e. one with water in the crystal lattice, fac-[RhCl3(Me3P)3]·H2O, and one with methanol in the crystal lattice, fac-[RhCl3(Me3P)3]·0.5CH3OH. These rhodium compounds exhibit distorted octahedral coordination spheres at the metal and are isotypic with the analogous iridium compounds previously reported by us [Merola et al. (2013). Polyhedron, 54, 67–73]. Comparison is made between the rhodium and iridium compounds, highlighting their isostructural relationships.

Chemical context  

Phosphane complexes of noble metals, especially those of rhodium and iridium, have proven to be important in catalysis as well as in studying fundamental reactions at metal surfaces. Chlorido compounds of rhodium and iridium with phosphane ligands provide important starting materials for other metal complexes of that family through replacement of the chlorine. For example, we have shown that (Me3P)3IrCl3 can be converted into (Me3P)3IrMe3 through reaction with methyl­magnesiumchloride. This tri­methyl­iridium compound can, in turn, be used to study organometallic reactions at the irid­ium(III) atom (Merola et al., 2013). Thus, the fundamental study of crystal structures of phosphane–chlorido complexes of iridium and rhodium is important to help understand the structures, the bonding and the stereochemistry of this class of compounds. This paper adds to the body of knowledge of rhodium complexes that complement the already published structures of the analogous iridium compounds. It contributes to the information on crystal structures of L 3 MCl3 compounds, comparing the rhodium structures to the iridium structures as well as confirming the nature of solvate formation in both the iridium and rhodium structures.graphic file with name e-71-00226-scheme1.jpg

Structural commentary  

The title complexes fac-tri­chlorido­tris­(tri­methyl­phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) monohydrate, RhP3Cl3water, and fac-tri­chlorido­tris­(tri­methyl­phosphane-κP)rhodium(III) methanol hemihydrate, RhP3Cl3MeOH, are isotypic with their iridium counterparts (CCDC 896072, 896073; Merola et al., 2013). Isotypism in rhodium and iridium complexes is not unusual, largely owing to the lanthanide contraction resulting in very similar radii for both second- and third-row transition elements (Cordero et al., 2008).

Fig. 1 is a displacement ellipsoid rendering of compound RhP3Cl3water and Fig. 2 is a displacement ellipsoid rendering of compound RhP3Cl3MeOH. For compounds RhP3Cl3water and RhP3Cl3MeOH reported here, the comparison with their iridium analogs can be found in Tables 1 and 2 which list the corresponding unit-cell parameters for the rhodium and iridium water solvates (Table 1) and the rhodium and iridium methanol solvate (Table 2). The iridium compounds show a very slight lengthening of the unit-cell dimensions compared to rhodium but they are clearly isotypic overall. Table 3 lists the important bond lengths for RhP3Cl3water and IrP3Cl3water while Table 4 lists these for RhP3Cl3MeOH and IrP3Cl3MeOH. Bond-length comparisons show little significant difference between the rhodium and iridium analogs.

Supra­molecular features  

It is not surprising that fac-tris­(tri­methyl­phosphane)tri­chloroidium(III) and -rhodium(III) complexes form lattice solvates since the shape of the individual mol­ecules leads to packing with voids in the lattice. Thus, every structure we have determined with the iridium compounds, as well as the ones reported here, contains a solvent. In the case of the water solvate, Fig. 3 shows the packing diagram for RhP3Cl3water looking down the c axis. One can see that the packing involves alternating layers of rhodium mol­ecules and water mol­ecules. The water mol­ecules show close, hydrogen-bonding inter­actions (Table 5) between the water and the chlorines on one layer of the rhodium compound as well as close C—H⋯O inter­actions between the phosphane methyl groups and the water oxygen. One should not make much of the hydrogen positions on the water since, although they were originally found in difference maps, the O—H bond lengths and the H—O—H angle were restrained with DFIX and DANG commands (Sheldrick, 2015). Fig. 4 shows the packing diagram for RhP3Cl3MeOH, looking down the c axis, illustrating the O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding (Table 6) and the location of the methanol mol­ecules in a channel in the crystal.

Database survey  

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Groom & Allen, 2014) surprisingly shows very few structurally characterized tri­chlorido­tris­phosphaneiridium or rhodium compounds. In the case of iridium, beside the structures we recently published (CCDC 896072–896076; Merola et al., 2013), there are only three other P3IrCl3 compounds in the database – the mer and fac isomers with P = phenyldi­methyl­phosphane (refcodes CTPIRA01, CTPIRC: Marsh, 1997; Robertson & Tucker, 1981) and one entry where P3 is cis,cis-1,3,5-tris­(di­phenyl­phosphino)cyclo­hexane (refcode LEXFAV; Mayer et al., 1994). For rhodium, P3RhCl3 structur­ally characterized compounds are also rare with one mixed-ligand complex (two tri-n-butyl­phosphane ligands and one tri­methyl­phosphite ligand; refcode CBPMRH; Allen et al., 1970), a complex with 3 hy­droxy­methyl­phosphane ligands (CCDC 189926; Raghuraman et al., 2002), a complex with the tripodal ligand, 1,1,1-tris­(di­methyl­phosphinometh­yl)ethane (refcode NAHXID; Suzuki et al., 1996), a complex with the tridentate ligand, 1,5,9-tris­(2-prop­yl)-1,5,9-triphospha­cyclo­dodecane (refcode NOLPIN; Edwards et al., 1997), a mer-tris-di­methyl­phenyl­phosphane compound (CCDC 247871; Parsons et al., 2004) and a mer-tris-di­ethyl­phenyl­phosphane compound (refcode TCPERH; Skapski & Stephens, 1973). Of those, the only directly comparable structures are the mer isomer complexes of rhodium and iridium with di­methyl­phenyl­phosphane ligands and those two are indeed isostructural with each other.

Synthesis and crystallization  

The rhodium complexes described herein could not be characterized spectroscopically as pure materials, but were isolated as crystals from complex mixtures. In contrast to the iridium complex [IrCOD(PMe3)3]Cl (COD = cyclo­octa­diene) (Frazier & Merola, 1992) which is the starting material for much of our iridium work, attempts to synthesize the analogous rhodium compound met with no success. Reaction between various RhI olefin complexes, including COD, especially in di­chloro­methane solvent, led to complex mixtures of Rh(PMe3)n compounds in all cases. That these compounds are compounds of Rh is clearly seen in the Rh–P chemical coupling in the complicated 31P NMR spectra. Attempts at extracting a pure compound from the complex mixture with various solvents including di­chloro­methane, water, methanol and acetone did not yield clean materials. Following extraction, the solutions were allowed to sit in the open air for several days and, in the case of water and methanol, a few crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography were formed and used for the data collection described in this communication.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 7. The hydrogens on the lattice water mol­ecule in RhP3Cl3water were initially assigned based on residual electron density but were then restrained with DFIX and DANG instructions in SHELXL (Sheldrick, 2015) during refinement.

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
