Abstract It has been shown that bis(cyclopentadienyl)(μ-cyclopentadiene)dinickel, (NiCP)2(η-C5H6), and (η5-cyclopentadienyl) (η3-cyclopentenyl)nickel, CpNi(η3-C5H7), are formed in the reaction of nickelocene with methyl-lithium and with 1-phenyl-2-methyl-propenyl-lithium. The compound (NiCp)2(μ-C5H6) can be only formed as a result of the reduction of the cyclopentadienyl ring bonded to the nickel atom whereas the formation of CpNi(η3-C5H7) can be explained by the further hydrogeneration of cyclopentadiene formed in the earlier reaction steps. (NiCp)2(μ-C5H6) has been fully characterised spectrometrically and its X-ray structure determined. It crystallises in the orthorhombic system, space group Pnma, with four molecules per unit cell.

Abstract Nickelocene reacts with organolithium or -magnesium compounds forming unstable 16 VE species {CpNiR}. These species reacts further yielding many new organonickel compounds. The type of R group has a decisive influence on the course of {CpNiR} transformations. If R possesses easily accessible α- or β-hydrogen atoms, then hydrogen elimination is the main reaction course and many cyclopentadienylnickel clusters are formed. The absence of α- and β-hydrogen favours a coupling reaction with RR formation. Facile stabilisation of free radicals causes homolytic cleavage of the NiC bond with alkylation of cyclopentadienyl ring. Some kinds of R groups e.g. R=CHPh 2 facilitate formation of a carbene :CPh 2 which can react with nickelocene yielding alkylated nickelocene derivatives. {CpNiR} can also undergo intramolecular stabilisation as it occurs for R=CPh 3 . In most cases the above reactions proceed simultaneously yielding a complex mixture of several compounds. On the other hand some reactions proceed quite selectively forming products in high yield so they can be applied in syntheses.

Abstract The alkylidynetrinickel clusters (NiCp)3C(CH2)8CH3 1, (NiCp)3CCH3 2 and tetrakis(η5-cyclopentadienyl)dihydridotetranickel (NiCp)4H2 3 were isolated from the reaction mixture of nickelocene with phenyllithium in the presence of 1-decene. (NiCp)3C(CH2)4CH3 and the clusters 2 and 3 were obtained in reaction with 1-hexene. In the presence of 2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene, cluster 3 was obtained as the main product of the reaction. In the reaction with 1-decene, organic products (olefins, biphenyl, o-terphenyl, quartephenyl) were identified by GC/MS analyses. The structure of 3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction and characterized by 1H and 13C NMR, MS and IR. On the basis of organonickel and organic products formed, the mechanism of the sp2-hybridized C-H bond activation by cyclopentadienylnickel species has been discussed.

Reaction of nickelocene with methyllithium in the presence of 2-butyne at the molar ratio of reactants 1:1:1 leads to the formation of several organinickel compounds. Five of these products were isolated and identified. A novel, 49-electron tri(cyclopentadienylnickel) nickel cluster (CpNi) 3 ·(CH 3 CCCH 3 ) ( 5 ) was fully characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray measurements. Alkyne ligand is bonded to three nickel atoms via two σ and one π bonds (2σ+π bond system). Compound 5 crystallizes from hexane in a monoclinic crystal system and P 2 1 / n space group. Corresponding unit cell parameters were determined as a =9.015(2) A; b =14.608(3) A; c= 13.983(3) A; β =108.47(3)°; V =1746.6(6) A 3 ; Z =4.

Reaction of nickelocene with methyllithium in the presence of diphenylacetylene at the molar ratio of reactants 1:1:2 produces a trinickel cluster with an open structure. The cluster contains a bent arrangement of nickel atoms. Two of the alkyne units are linked via a carboncarbon bond to produce a nickelacyclopentadienyl ring, while the third alkyne unit remains independently coordinated to the cluster via two π -bonds. Two Cp groups are bonded to two terminal nickel atoms. The cluster crystallizes from methylene chloride with solvent molecules in a monoclinic crystal system and P 2 1 / n space group. Corresponding unit cell parameters were determined as: a =12.4385(13) A; b =24.994(3) A; c =13.9657(14) A; β =91.457(8)°; V =4340.4(8) A 3 ; Z =4.

Abstract The reaction of nickelocene with phenyllithium, ortho -, meta - and para -methylphenylmagnesium bromide, and 2-((dimethylamino)methyl) phenyllithium are studied. It was found that unstable compounds {CpNiC 6 H 4 R} (R H, o -, m -, p -CH 3 ) are formed in those reactions. For R CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 , a stable compound, CpNiC 6 H 4 CH 2 N(CH 3 ) 2 , is formed due to intramolecular coordination. In other cases, mainly coupling reactions occur and biphenyl, bitolyl and higher coupling products are formed. Compound (CpNiC 6 H 4 R) is also formed as a product of thermal decomposition of Cp{η 2− C 2 H 4 )NiC 6 H 4 R. It reacts further to form the same products as above. The mechanism of the coupling reactions is proposed and discussed.

Abstract Unstable CpNi(vinyl) compounds of the type CpNi-CR′ CR 2 (R′ CH 3 , C 6 H 5 , R CH 3 ) are formed in the reaction of nickelocene with vinyllithium or -magnesium compounds. CpNi(vinyl) reacts further to form π-allyl complexes and other compounds not yet fully characterized. For R′ CH 3 , π-allyl complex 1 is formed and for R′ C 6 H 5 two π-ally isomers anti - 2a and syn - 2b are formed. The mechanisms of α-, β-, γ- and η-H elimination and of hydrogen transfer reactions are discussed.

A new hexanuclear cyclopentadienylnickel carbide cluster (NiCp)(6)(μ(6)-C) (1) was obtained through the thermolysis of the alkene complex [NiCp(CH(3))(η(2)-CH(2)═CHC(4)H(9))] (4). The X-ray molecular structure of 1 (monoclinic; P2(1)/c; Ni-C(carbide) = 1.767(4)-2.109(4) Å) reveals a highly deformed octahedral arrangement of nickel atoms with two octahedron edges opened (Ni-Ni bonding distances = 2.410(1)-2.623(1) Å, Ni···Ni nonbonding distances = 3.107(2) and 3.108(2) Å). Cluster 1 is the first example of a homoleptic, cyclopentadienylnickel carbide cluster. Moreover, (13)C-labeling studies proved that the carbido ligand in cluster 1 originated from the Ni-bound methyl group. This transformation requires a triple C-H bond activation in the methyl group, which has not been observed so far for late transition metal compounds.

Abstract Dimeric dimethylaluminium compounds {[Me 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 O n Pr)] 2 ( 1 ), [Me 2 Al(μ-OCH(CH 3 )CH 2 O t Bu)] 2 ( 3 ), [Me 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OEt)] 2 ( 5 ), [Me 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 CH(Me)OMe)] 2 ( 7 ), [Me 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 C(Me) 2 OMe)] 2 ( 9 )} and dichloroaluminium compounds {[Cl 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 O n Pr)] 2 ( 2 ), [Cl 2 Al(μ-OCH(CH 3 )CH 2 O t Bu)] 2 ( 4 ), [Cl 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 OEt)] 2 ( 6 ), [Cl 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 CH(Me)OMe)] 2 ( 8 ), [Cl 2 Al(μ-OCH 2 CH 2 C(Me) 2 OMe)] 2 ( 10 )} have been prepared. The molecular structures of compounds 2 , 3 , 6 , 8 , 9 and 10 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. All these compounds exist in the solid state as dimers with chelating ether-alkoxide ligands and five-coordinate aluminium atoms. Dichloroaluminium derivatives (compounds 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 and 10 ) exist as five-coordinate isomers also in solution, while dimethylaluminium ones (compounds 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 and 9 ) exist as an equilibrium mixture between four- and five-coordinate isomers. An increase of aluminium Lewis acidity in dichloroaluminium derivatives in comparison with dimethylaluminium ones results in substantial shortening of AlO distances. The R 2 Al⋯O (ether) R′ distance is mainly determined by the steric repulsion between the OR′ group and the two alkyl substituents on aluminium. The influence of electronic properties of R′ on Cl 2 Al⋯O (ether) R′ interaction was illustrated for compound 2 in comparison with literature data for analogous complexes.
