A coordination polymer [Cp*(O)2Mo-O-Bi(o-tolyl) 2]n, II, containing Mo-O-Bi and Mo=O...Bi moieties was investigated with respect to its behavior in contact with OH- and Cp2MoH2 and as potential single source precursor in the polyol method. It turned out that hydroxide as a base breaks up the polymer to yield Cp*MoO3- and (o-tolyl)2BiOH. The latter polymerizes to give the coordination polymer [(o-tolyl) 2BiOH]n, 1. Alternatively, 1 can be prepared by reacting [(o-tolyl)2Bi(hmpa)2]SO3CF3 with NBu4OH/H20 in thf/water. If, however, NBu 4OH/MeOH is used in dichloromethane as the solvent, the (o-tolyl)2BiOH formed intermediately undergoes methanolysis, and finally, [(o-tolyl)2BiOMe]n, 3, is isolated. Although 1 and 3 are very similar compounds, their crystal structures differ significantly: while the structure of 1 is dominated by secondary bonding leading to seesaw-type coordination geometries around the Bi centers, the Bi atoms in 3 are coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral fashion, and secondary bonding plays only a minor role. If 1 is dissolved in a nonpolar, nonprotic solvent, condensation reactions occur immediately leading to [(otolyl) 2BiOBi(o-tolyl)2], 2, which can be obtained on a preparative scale this way. Compound 3 which can be prepared in good yields may prove to be a useful starting material in bismuth chemistry. Here, it was shown to react with molybdocene dihydrides to provide stable Bi-substituted molybdocene monohydrides [RCp2-Mo(H)(Bi(o-tolyl) 2)] (R = Me 4, R = H 5); compounds of that type were identified in solution before but had so far eluded isolation. Compound 4, whose crystal structure is discussed, also forms when II is treated with methylated molybdocene dihydride. This obviously leads to the formation of Mo-Bi bonds (→ 4), as well as Mo-OH units, which undergo condensation reactions leading to Mo-O-Mo moieties (i.e., [Cp*2Mo2O5] is formed as a byproduct). The use of II as precursor in the polyol method successfully led to bismuthmolybdate nanoparticles (accompanied by crystallites); however, no single phase is obtained, but biphasic materials consisting of Bi2Mo2O9 and Bi 2MoO6, whose ratio can be determined by the choice of the hydrolyzing reagent, are formed instead. One of these materials proved to be capable of sensing EtOH selectively at elevated temperatures.

The synthesis, structure, and reactions of (acylimino)triaryl-λ5-bismuthanes and a comparative study of the structure and reactivity of a series of (acylimino)pnictoranes are reported. Treatment of ortho-substituted triarylbismuth dichlorides 1 (Ar3BiCl2; Ar = 2-MeC6H4, 2-MeOC6H4, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) with amides 2 (H2-NCOR; R = CF3, CCl3, 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) in the presence of 2.2 equiv of KO-t-Bu in dichloromethane afforded (acylimino)triaryl-λ5-bismuthanes 3 (Ar3Bi=NCOR) in yields of 77-96%. The ortho-substituted aryl ligands and the electron-withdrawing N-substituents afford kinetic and thermodynamic stabilization, respectively, to the reactive Bi=N bond. The structures and properties of a series of (acylimino)pnictoranes (Ar3M=NCOR and H3M=NCOCF3; M = P, As, Sb, Bi) are compared by IR and 13C and 15N NMR, X-ray crystallography, and ab initio molecular orbital calculations. It was found that the contribution of the M+-N=C-O- canonical form becomes more prominent and the single-bond character of the M=N bond increases progressively as the pnictogen atom becomes heavier. The Bi=N bond of (acylimino)-λ5-bismuthanes 3 possesses a highly polarized single-bond character, probably due to the differences in orbital size and electronegativity between the bismuth and nitrogen atoms. Thermal decomposition of (aroylimino)triaryl-λ5-bismuthane 3f (o-Tol3Bi=NCOAr; Ar = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) produces a gel in dry conditions or aniline 12 (ArNH2) in slightly wet conditions with a good recovery of tris(2-methylphenyl)bismuthane (4a). It is likely that the aryl isocyanate 13 (ArNCO) is produced during the thermolysis via a concerted C → N migration of the Ar group with an elimination of the triarylbismuthonio group as bismuthane 4a. (Acylimino)triaryl-λ5-bismuthanes 3 oxidize 1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethanediol, benzenethiol, methanol, and ethanol to benzophenone, diphenyl disulfide, methyl formate, and acetaldehyde, respectively, in two different reaction pathways depending on the structure of the substrates. Compound 3d (o-Tol3Bi=NCOCCl3) transfers the nitrenoid moiety to triphenylphosphane, triphenylarsane, and tris(2-methylphenyl)stibane to give the corresponding (acylimino)pnictoranes (Ar3M=NCOCl3; M = P, As, Sb) and 4a, suggesting that 3d is thermodynamically much less stable than their lighter pnictogen counterparts. The copper-catalyzed decomposition of 3 (o-Tol3Bi=NCOR) afforded N-acyl-o-toluidines 18 (o-TolNHCOR) via a Bi → N migration of the tolyl group. The observed reactivities of (acylimino)triaryl-λ5-bismuthanes 3 demonstrate a good leaving ability of the bismuthonio group.
