Abstract: | The reactions of ethyldiphenylphosphine with a number of cis-dioxomolybdenum(VI) Schiff base coordination complexes are described. These molybdenum complexes incorporate tridentate Schiff base ligands obtained from the condensation of 5-X-salicylaldehyde (X = Cl, Br, H, CH3O) with o-aminobenzenethiol. Oxomolybdenum(IV) Schiff base complexes were observed as products of the reaction of these Mo(VI) complexes with PEtPh2. The kinetics for these reactions were followed spectrophotometrically and the applicable rate law is ? dMoO2L]/dt = k1MoO2L]PEtPh2]. The k1's were shown to vary systematically as the X-substituent on the ligand was changed. For MoO2(5-X-SSP), the specific rate constants at 30°C span the range from 19.6 × 10?4 M?1 sec?1 (X = Br) to 8.4 × 10?4 M?1 sec?1 (X = CH3O). It was also observed that a correlation exists between the cathodic reduction potentials (Epc) and the k1's within the series. The rate of reaction of MoO2(5-X-SSP) with PEtPh2 was altered and systematically controlled through ligand design. |
