Synthesis and properties of ms- and β-substituted Pt(II) and Pt(IV) tetraphenylporphyrinates

The interaction of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-chlorophenyl)porphyrin, 2-bromo-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin, and 2,3,12,13-tetrabromo-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin with platinum(II) chloride in boiling phenol has been studied. The corresponding platinum(II) porphyrinates have been synthesized; their subsequent treatment with bromine in chloroform resulted in platinum(IV) porphyrinates. The Pt(II) and Pt(IV)(Br)₂ porphyrinates have been identified by elemental analysis, electron absorption, IR, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Studies of surface processes of electrocatalytic reduction of CO_2 on Pt(210), Pt(310) and Pt(510)

Surface processes of CO2 reduction on Pt(210), Pt(310), and Pt(510) electrodes were studied by cyclic voltammetry. Different surface structures of these platinum single crystal electrodes were obtained by various treatment conditions. The experimental results illustrated that the electrocatalytic activity of Pt single crystal electrodes towards CO2 reduction is decreased in an order of Pt(210)>Pt(310)>Pt(510), i.e., with the decrease of (110) step density on well-defined surfaces. When the surfaces were reconstructed due to oxygen adsorption, the catalytic activity of all the three electrodes has been enhanced to a cer- tain extent. Although the activity order remains unchanged, the electrocatalytic activity has been en- hanced more significantly as the density of (110) step sites is more intensive on the Pt single crystal surface. It has revealed that the more open the surface structure is, the more active the Pt single crystal electrode will be, and the easier for the electrode to be transformed into a surface structure that exhib- its higher activity under external inductions. However, the relatively ordered surfaces of Pt single crystal electrode are comparatively stable under the same external inductions. The present study has gained knowledge on the interaction between CO2 and Pt single crystal electrode surfaces at a micro- scopic level, and thrown new insight into understanding the surface processes of electrocatalytic re- duction of CO2.     

Structures of Pd(CN)2 and Pt(CN)2: intrinsically nanocrystalline materials?

Analysis and modeling of X-ray and neutron Bragg and total diffraction data show that the compounds referred to in the literature as "Pd(CN)(2)" and "Pt(CN)(2)" are nanocrystalline materials containing small sheets of vertex-sharing square-planar M(CN)(4) units, layered in a disordered manner with an intersheet separation of ~3.44 ? at 300 K. The small size of the crystallites means that the sheets' edges form a significant fraction of each material. The Pd(CN)(2) nanocrystallites studied using total neutron diffraction are terminated by water and the Pt(CN)(2) nanocrystallites by ammonia, in place of half of the terminal cyanide groups, thus maintaining charge neutrality. The neutron samples contain sheets of approximate dimensions 30 ? × 30 ?. For sheets of the size we describe, our structural models predict compositions of Pd(CN)(2)·xH(2)O and Pt(CN)(2)·yNH(3) (x ≈ y ≈ 0.29). These values are in good agreement with those obtained from total neutron diffraction and thermal analysis, and are also supported by infrared and Raman spectroscopy measurements. It is also possible to prepare related compounds Pd(CN)(2)·pNH(3) and Pt(CN)(2)·qH(2)O, in which the terminating groups are exchanged. Additional samples showing sheet sizes in the range ~10 ? × 10 ? (y ~ 0.67) to ~80 ? × 80 ? (p = q ~ 0.12), as determined by X-ray diffraction, have been prepared. The related mixed-metal phase, Pd(1/2)Pt(1/2)(CN)(2)·qH(2)O (q ~ 0.50), is also nanocrystalline (sheet size ~15 ? × 15 ?). In all cases, the interiors of the sheets are isostructural with those found in Ni(CN)(2). Removal of the final traces of water or ammonia by heating results in decomposition of the compounds to Pd and Pt metal, or in the case of the mixed-metal cyanide, the alloy, Pd(1/2)Pt(1/2), making it impossible to prepare the simple cyanides, Pd(CN)(2), Pt(CN)(2), or Pd(1/2)Pt(1/2)(CN)(2), by this method.     

Unusual coupling constants n J(195Pt—1H) and Pt↼H—C interactions in new Schiff base complexes of N-alkyl-1-(ferrocen-1-yl)methanimine

A series of novel ferrocenylimine complexes of platinum(II) ethene of general formula trans-[PtCl₂( ²-C₂H₄) (imine)], imine = N-alkyl-1-(ferrocen-1-yl)methanimine, (alkyl = Me; i-Pr, i-Bu, s-Bu, t-Bu, ±CH(Me)Ph, CH₂Ph and Ph) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, i.r, ¹H-, ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra (¹⁵N- and ¹⁹⁵Pt-n.m.r. in part). Unusual coupling constants ³ J(¹⁹⁵Pt—¹H), 92–98 Hz were observed between the imino proton H₆ and platinum(II) which are too large for three bond coupling constants, thereby suggesting a PtH—C interaction.     

Role of π-acceptor effects in controlling the lability of novel monofunctional Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes: crystal structure of [Pt(tripyridinedimethane)Cl]Cl

The kinetics and mechanism of substitution reactions of novel monofunctional [Pt(tpdm)Cl](+) and [Pd(tpdm)Cl](+) complexes (where tpdm = tripyridinedimethane) and their aqua analogues with thiourea (tu), L-methionine (L-met), glutathione (GSH), and guanosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-GMP) were studied in 0.1 M NaClO(4) at pH = 2.5 (in the presence of 10 mM NaCl for reactions of the chlorido complexes). The reactivity of the investigated nucleophiles follows the order tu > l-met > GSH > 5'-GMP. The reported rate constants showed the higher reactivity of the Pd(II) complexes as well as the higher reactivity of the aqua complex than the corresponding chlorido complex. The negative values reported for the activation entropy as well as the activation volume confirmed an associative substitution mode. In addition, the molecular and crystal structure of [Pt(tpdm)Cl]Cl was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic space group C2/c with two independent molecules of the complex and unit cell dimensions of a = 38.303(2) ?, b = 9.2555(5) ?, c = 27.586(2) ?, β = 133.573(1)°, and V = 7058.3(8) ?(3). The cationic complex [Pt(tpdm)Cl](+) exhibits square-planar coordination around the Pt(II) center. The lability of the [Pt(tpdm)Cl](+) complex is orders of magnitude lower than that of [Pt(terpyridine)Cl](+). Quantum chemical calculations were performed on the [Pt(tpdm)Cl](+) and [Pt(terpyridine)Cl](+) complexes and their reactions with thiourea. Theoretical computations for the corresponding Ni(II) complexes clearly demonstrated that π-back-bonding properties of the terpyridine chelate can account for acceleration of the nucleophilic substitution process as compared to the tpdm chelate, where introduction of two methylene groups prevents such an effective π-back bonding.     

High resolution photoemission and x-ray absorption spectroscopy of a lepidocrocite-like TiO2 nanosheet on Pt(110) (1 × 2)

The electronic structure of TiO(2) nanosheets on the Pt(110)-(1 × 2) surface has been investigated by using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The Ti 2p XAS spectra of the deposited TiO(2) films have been theoretically evaluated and, from the comparison with the experimental data, the assignment to a lepidocrocite-like structure is confirmed. Coexistence of TiO(2) islands with PtO(2) stripes for incomplete nanosheets is confirmed by high resolution photoemission data. The location of the valence and conduction band edges of the nanosheet has been experimentally determined allowing us to describe in details subtle electronic effects due to the interface with the substrate. The locations of the valence band maximum and the leading peak in the O 1s XAS spectrum indicate a band gap similar to anatase but with the Fermi level closer to mid-gap than found for bulk, n-type TiO(2).     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Platinum Blue [(1,10-phen)Pt(μ-NHCOCH3)2Pt(1,10-phen)]2(NO3)4

The reaction of acetamide with PtphenCl₂ gave a mixed-valence black-brown-colored platinum complex Ptphen(NHCOCH₃)NO₃ (I), which was studied by X-ray diffraction. The monoclinic crystal (a = 16.389(6) Å, b = 19.664(6) Å, c = 11.049(4) Å; β = 122.8(3)°, V = 2993(18) ų, space group C2/m, Z = 4, R = 0.0432) is built of dimeric [Pt₂phen₂(NHCOCH₃)₂]²⁺ cations and NO ₃ ² . anions. Each platinum atom in the dimer is linked to two nitrogen or oxygen atoms of the two bridging (NHCOCH₃)^? groups and two phenanthroline nitrogen atoms. The Pt-Pt distance in the dimer is 2.8891(19) Å. In the crystal, the dimers form pairs (tetramers), the interdimer Pt…Pt distance being 3.167(2) Å. Four platinum atoms are arranged nearly linearly (the Pt(2)Pt(1)Pt(1)* angle is 178.71(4)°). The UV-Vis spectrum of an aqueous solution of compound I exhibits bands at 360, 480, 630, 680, and 880 nm in the visible region. The diffuse reflectance spectrum of a polycrystalline sample of I (in the 300–900 nm range) contains bands at ～360, ～500, ～600, ～690, and ～890 nm.     

Adsorption and decomposition of cyclohexanone (C6H10O) on Pt(111) and the (2 × 2) and (√3 × √3)r30°-Sn/Pt(111) surface alloys

Adsorption and decomposition of cyclohexanone (C(6)H(10)O) on Pt(111) and on two ordered Pt-Sn surface alloys, (2 × 2)-Sn/Pt(111) and (√3 × √3)R30°-Sn/Pt(111), formed by vapor deposition of Sn on the Pt(111) single crystal surface were studied with TPD, HREELS, AES, LEED, and DFT calculations with vibrational analyses. Saturation coverage of C(6)H(10)O was found to be 0.25 ML, independent of the Sn surface concentration. The Pt(111) surface was reactive toward cyclohexanone, with the adsorption in the monolayer being about 70% irreversible. C(6)H(10)O decomposed to yield CO, H(2)O, H(2), and CH(4). Some C-O bond breaking occurred, yielding H(2)O and leaving some carbon on the surface after TPD. HREELS data showed that cyclohexanone decomposition in the monolayer began by 200 K. Intermediates from cyclohexanone decomposition were also relatively unstable on Pt(111), since coadsorbed CO and H were formed below 250 K. Surface Sn allowed for some cyclohexanone to adsorb reversibly. C(6)H(10)O dissociated on the (2 × 2) surface to form CO and H(2)O at low coverages, and methane and H(2) in smaller amounts than on Pt(111). Adsorption of cyclohexanone on (√3 × √3)R30°-Sn/Pt(111) at 90 K was mostly reversible. DFT calculations suggest that C(6)H(10)O adsorbs on Pt(111) in two configurations: by bonding weakly through oxygen to an atop Pt site and more strongly through simultaneously oxygen and carbon of the carbonyl to a bridged Pt-Pt site. In contrast, on alloy surfaces, C(6)H(10)O bonds preferentially to Sn. The presence of Sn, furthermore, is predicted to make the formation of the strongly bound C(6)H(10)O species bonding through O and C, which is a likely decomposition precursor, thermodynamically unfavorable. Alloying with Sn, thus, is shown to moderate adsorptive and reactive activity of Pt(111).

Evidence for hydrogen bond network formation in microsolvated clusters of Pt(CN)4(2-): collision induced dissociation studies of Pt(CN)4(2-)·(H2O)(n) n = 1-4, and Pt(CN)4(2-)·(MeCN)(m) m = 1, 2 cluster ions

Low-energy collision induced dissociation has been used to investigate the structure and stability of microsolvated clusters of the prototypical, aprotic multiply charged anion, Pt(CN)(4)(2-), i.e. Pt(CN)(4)(2-)·(H(2)O)(n) n = 1-4, Pt(CN)(4)(2-)·(MeCN)(m) m =1, 2, and Pt(CN)(4)(2-)·(H(2)O)(3)·MeCN. For all of the systems studied, the lowest energy fragmentation pathway was found to correspond to decay of the cluster with loss of the entire solvent ensemble. No sequential solvent evaporation was observed. These observations suggest that the Pt(CN)(4)(2-) solvent clusters studied here form hydrogen-bonded "surface solvated" structures. Electronic structure calculations are presented to support the experimental results. In addition, the detailed fragmentation patterns observed are interpreted with reference to the differential solvation of the ionic fragmentation and electron detachment potential energy surfaces of the core Pt(CN)(4)(2-) dianion. The results described represent some of the first experiments to probe the microsolvation of this important class of multiply charged anions.

Preconcentration and separation of trace Pd(II) and Pt(IV) with silica gel bonded by aminopropyl-benzoylazo-4-(2-pyridyl-azo)-resorcinol

This paper reports a simple and highly selective method for preconcentrating and separating of trace Pd(II) and Pt(IV) with silica gel bonded by aminopropyl-benzoylazo-4-(2-pyridy-lazo)-resorcinol (ABPR-SG). ABPR-SG is stable in solution from 6 mol/L HCl to pH 7.0 and in common organic solvents. The maximum adsorptive capacity of Pd(n) on ABPR-SG is 362 μmol/g. After preconcentration and separation by using ABPR-SG column, Pd(II) and Pt(IV) of μg/L level in artificial water samples can be measured reliably by common spedrophotometry. The maximum concentration factors of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) on ABPR-SG column are 143 and 125 respectively. The chromatographic column packed with ABPR-SG can be reused. The method is simple and efficient.     

Variance of Solid-state Pt···Pt Interactions in Luminescent Cyclometalated Cationic Pt(Ⅱ)-isocyanide Complexes

Polymorphic structures of cyclometalated cationic Pt(Ⅱ)-isocyanide complexes(–)-1 [Pt((-)-NNC)(Dmpi)]Cl with different packing modes can be isolated before. In this paper, a series of solid-state powders with variable colors(yellow, orange and red) have been obtained from the evaporation of complex(–)-1 in different solvents. The crystallinity, thermogravimetric properties, absorption, luminescence and excited state lifetimes have been studied. In addition, intermolecular Pt···Pt interactions in the optimized configurations of different aggregates have been explored, and calculations of frontier molecular orbitals of monomer, dimer, trimer and tetramer have been carried out.     

Enzymatic resolution of (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-1-aminoindan-2-ol and (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-2-aminoindan-1-ol

Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PSL) efficiently catalyses the kinetic resolution of (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-1-aminoindan-2-ol through the O-acylation reaction of the corresponding N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivative using vinyl acetate as the acyl donor. In a similar way, cis-N-Cbz-2-aminoindan-1-ol is resolved when isopropenyl acetate is used as the acylating agent. The enantioselectivity of the reaction was lower for (±)-trans-N-Cbz-2-aminoindan-1-ol due to the different steric requirements for the two conformers of this substrate.     

Facile synthesis and characterization of phosphorescent Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)X complexes

In order to investigate the ground state and excited state properties of Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)X, we have prepared a series of Pt complexes, where N(∧)C(∧)N aromatic chelates are derivatives of m-di(2-pyridinyl)benzene (dpb) and X are monoanionic and monodentate ancillary ligands including halide and phenoxide. Facile synthesis of platinum m-di(2-pyridinyl)benzene chloride and its derivatives, using controlled microwave heating, was reported. This method not only shortened the reaction time but also improved the reaction yield for most of the Pt complexes. Two Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)X complexes have been structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The change of functional group does not affect the structure of the core Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)Cl fragment. Both molecules pack as head-to-tail dimers, each molecule of the dimer related to the other by a center of inversion. The electrochemical studies of all Pt complexes demonstrate that the oxidation process occurs on the metal-phenyl fragment and the reduction process is associated with the electron accepting groups like pyridinyl groups and their derivatives. The maximum emission wavelength of the Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)X complexes ranges between 471 and 610 nm, crossing the spectrum of visible light. Most of the Pt complexes are strongly luminescent (Φ = 0.32-0.63) and have short luminescence lifetimes (τ = 4-7 μs) at room temperature. The lowest excited state of the Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)X complexes is identified as a dominant ligand-centered (3)π-π* state with some (1)MLCT/(3)MLCT character, which appears to have a larger (1)MLCT component than their bidentate and tridentate analogs. This results in a high radiative decay rate and high quantum yield for Pt(dpb)Cl and its analogs. However, the excited state properties of the Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)X complexes are strongly dependent on the nature of the electron-accepting groups and substituents to the metal-phenyl fragment. A rational design will be needed to tune the emission energies of the Pt(N(∧)C(∧)N)X complexes over a wide range while maintaining their high luminescent efficiency.     

Theoretical study on the charge transport property of Pt(CN(t)Bu)2(CN)2 nanowires induced by Pt···Pt interactions

To deeply understand the charge-transporting nature of Pt(CN(t)Bu)(2)(CN)(2) nanowires induced by intermolecular Pt···Pt interactions, calculations based on first-principle band structure and Marcus theory have been performed. The calculated bandwidths of the valence band, conducting band, and the effective masses of hole and electron are almost equal. This suggests that this complex has ambipolar transport characteristics, in agreement with experimental results. Density of states analysis revealed that the hole transport resulted mainly from the Pt···Pt interactions, while the electron transport was derived mainly from the CN groups. The character of the frontier molecular orbitals, reorganization energies and transfer integrals in different directions also supports the calculated first-principle band structure. Moreover, an investigation into the intermolecular interaction energy of neighbors revealed that there is a remarkable relationship between the intermolecular interaction energy and the transfer integral.     

Insertion of SnCl2 into Pt–Cl bonds: synthesis and characterization of four- and five-coordinate trichlorostannylplatinum(II) complexes

Reaction of platinum(IV) chloride with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of [NHR₃]₃Cl (R?=?Me, Et) in 3M hydrochloric acid affords the anionic five-coordinate platinum(II) complexes [NHR₃]₃[Pt(SnCl₃)₅], R?=?Me (1), Et (2), respectively. Moreover, platinum(IV) chloride reacts with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium chloride in acetone/dichloromethane to form [N(PPh₃)₂]₃[Pt(SnCl₃)₅] (3). In contrast, reaction of an acetone solution of platinum(IV) chloride with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene) ammonium chloride resulted in the formation of cis-[N(PPh₃)₂]₂[PtCl₂(SnCl₃)₂] (4). The same products are obtained by using a platinum(II) salt as starting material. Similarly, cis and trans- dichlorobis(diethyl sulfide)platinum(II) reacts with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in 5M hydrochloric acid to give [PtCl(SEt₂)₃]₃[Pt(SnCl₃)₅] (5) by facile insertion of SnCl₂ into the Pt–Cl bond. However, treatment of an acetone solution of cis- and trans-[PtCl₂(SEt₂)₂] with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of a small amount of HCl resulted in the formation of 5, which dissociates in solution to give [PtCl₂(SEt₂)₂]. The complexes have been fully characterized by elemental analysis and multinuclear NMR (¹H,?¹³C,?¹⁹⁵Pt,?¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy. A structure determination of crystals grown from a solution of 2 by X-ray diffraction methods shows that platinum adopts a regular trigonal bipyramidal geometry.     

Excited-state dynamics of trans,trans-1,3,5,7-octatetraene: estimation of decay rate constants of 1(1)B(u) ⇝ 2(1)A(g) and 2(1)A(g) ⇝ 1(1)A(g) internal conversions

The general expressions we previously derived for calculating internal conversion rate constants between two adiabatic displaced-distorted-rotated potential energy surfaces, by including all vibratinal modes, are applied to estimate the decay rate constants of 1(1)B(u) ? 2(1)A(g) and 2(1)A(g) ? 1(1)A(g) internal conversions in trans,trans-1,3,5,7-octatetraene molecule. The minimal models with respect to the number and types of vibrational modes are determined for these processes. Our calculations show that in the low temperature limit the 1(1)B(u) ? 2(1)A(g) internal conversion takes place on a 232-290 fs time scale in the condensed phase and 2 ps in the gas phase, whereas 2(1)A(g) ? 1(1)A(g) internal conversion takes place on a 2 μs time scale under the isolated conditions.     

Anodic stripping determination of Pt(IV) based on the anodic oxidation of Hg and Cd from electrochemically deposited Hg–Pt and Hg–Cd alloy phases

An anodic stripping voltammetric determination of Pt(IV) is described which is based on depositing intermetallic mercury–platinum and cadmium–platinum alloy phase on the surface graphite electrode, and recording the oxidation peak of mercury and cadmium from these phases with the help of linear scan voltammetry. Three alloy phases are formed in the case of mercury–platinum, whereas only one phase appears in the case of cadmium–platinum.     

Properties and structure of new volatile phenyl-containing β-diketonates of trimethylplatinum(IV): (CH3)3Pt(btfa)H2O, (CH3)3Pt(bac)Py, and initial complex [(CH3)3PtI]4

Synthesis of the complexes is described; data of elemental analysis and IR spectra are reported; thermal characteristics are studied by thermogravimetry. For the first time, a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of complexes (I), (II), and the initial tetrameric complex [(CH₃)₃PtI]₄ (III) is performed.
