Structure of the metallabenzene TpIrC5H5(Cl)

The parent metallacyclobenzene has the formula LnM(CH)5. They can be viewed as derivatives of benzene wherein a CH center has been replaced by a transition metal complex. Most metallabenzenes do not feature the M(CH)5 ring itself, but, instead, some of the H atoms are replaced by other substituents.

Classification

Metallabenzene complexes have been classified into three varieties; in such compounds, the parent acyclic hydrocarbon ligand is viewed as the anion C5H5. The 6 π electrons in the metallacycle conform to the Hückel (4n+2) theory.

Three classes of stable metallabenzenes.

Preparation and structure

The first reported stable metallabenzene was the osmabenzene Os(C5H4S)CO(PPh3)2. Characteristic of other metallaarenes, the Os-C bonds are about 0.6 Å longer than the C-C bonds (in benzene these are 1.39 Å), resulting in a distortion of the hexagonal ring. H NMR signals for the ring protons are downfield, consistent with aromatic "ring current." Osmabenzene and its derivatives can be regarded as an Os(II), d octahedral complex.

Interactions between these orbitals give rise to a cyclically delocalized pi electronic structure.

Metallabenzenes have also been characterized with metals ruthenium, iridium, platinum, and rhenium.
