The interaction of CrCl2(dmpe)2 with NaBPh4 in MeCN at room temperature gives the partially substituted complex trans-IICl(NCMe)(dmpe)2>BPh4; when the reaction is carried out in refluxing MeCN the product is the previously characterised trans-II(NCMe)2(dmpe)2>2.The interaction of both nitrile complexes with methanol has been studied, and the X-ray structures of the products, trans-IVCl(NEt)(dmpe)2>CF3SO3 and trans-IV(N=CHMe)2(dmpe)2>2 respectively, have been determined.These are the first octahedral CrIV complexes.The interaction of trans-2 with H2 leads to a complex of stoicheiometry trans-2, whose structure has been confirmed by X-ray crystallography.Although hydrogens bound to acetonitrile were not detected either crystallographically or spectroscopically, the diamagnetism together with the values of the Cr-P distances eliminate the possibility of a CrII species and confirm the presence of Cr0.Two weakly acidic protons have been shown to be present chemically, and its is proposed that H+ is located on the electron density in the CN bond.The chromium(III) complex trans,trans-2(μ-O)>4+ is also described.
