Popis: Metal π Complexes of Benzene Derivatives, XLI[1]. — Bis(η61-aniline)chromium: Synthesis, Redox Properties and Bronsted Basicity Bis(η61-aniline)chromium (6) has been prepared by protodesilylation of its N,N,N′,N′1-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl) derivative 5, which is accessible by metal-atom ligand-vapor cocondensation (cc). Bis(η61-dimethylaniline)chromium (3) is obtained directly from cc. The couples 3+/0 and 6+/0 feature the most negative redox potentials E1/2 ever reported for bis(arene)1-metal complexes. According to EPR spectroscopy, applied to the radical cations 3+· and 6+· the site of oxidation is largely localized on the metal. The pH dependence of E1/2 is cast in Nerst-Clark plots, whose breaks supply the pKs values of the mono-and diprotonated forms of 3 and 6. η61-Coordination to CrI increases the basicity of aniline by three pK units, whereas η61-coordination to Cr1 effects a decrease by more than seven pK units. The first and second dissociation constants of the organometallic bis(ammonium) ions 3(H+)2 and 6(H+)2 differ by 2.7 pK units. This interval reflects the interaction of the two basic centers in 3 and 6 which approaches that of p1-phenylenediamine. Thus, conjugation across the bis(η61-arene)chromium unit is virtually uninhibited.
