The synthesis and solid state structures of homo- and heteroleptic Zr and Ti complexes of 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyrrolide (NP) are reported. The homoleptic Zr(NP)4 (1) and Ti(NP)4 (2) are 8-coordinate in the solid state, and both show extremely long M-P bonds of approximately 2.9 ?. In solution, the phosphine ligands in all complexes are labile: in the titanium complexes phosphine dissociation is rapid at room temperature and equilibrates all phosphines into a single 31P resonance, whereas in the Zr complex 1 dissociation is slower and full equilibration does not occur until 90 °C. The potential to utilize these novel complexes as metalloligands toward other transition metals is discussed.

Arene ligand exchange in the (η6-arene)Cr(CO)2L series can be accelerated if the ligand L is an electronically unsymmetrical bidentate ligand. The system evaluated here employs derivatives of tris(pyrrolyl)-phosphine as L. A series of 2-L′-substituted pyrroles was prepared, where the substituents include: L′= -SMe, -CH2SMe, -SPh, -CH2SPh, -SCF3, -S-tBu, -CO2Me, -CONMe2, -2-pyridinyl, and -PPh2. Reaction with CIP(pyrrolyl)2 gave a new series of phosphines, (2-L′-pyrrolyl) (pyrrolyl)2P. Each of these phosphines was converted to (arene)Cr(CO)2[P(2-L′-pyrrolyl)(pyrrolyl)2P) complexes. The substituents L′ are proposed to provide temporary coordination to the Cr and to lower the barrier to arene exchange. The series was evaluated where the arene in the complex (departing) is benzene, fluorobenzene, toluene, o-oxylene, m-xylene, or p-xylene and the incoming arene is C6D6, chlorobenzene-d5, anisole-d 8, fluorobenzene-d5, toluene-d8, o-oxylene-d10, m-xylene-d10, p-xylene-d10, or mesitylene-d12. Most of the new complexes showed a significant increase in the rate of arene exchange due to the side chain unit L′. The strongest effects were seen with the examples where X = -CO2Me, -CONMe2, and -(2-pyridinyl), allowing exchange with a half lifetime as low as 8 h/22 °C.
