Reactions of Vinylendiphosphine Dioxides with Phosphorus and Tantalum Pentafluorides

Abstract

Reactions of trans-R₂P(O)CH=CHP(O)R₂ R=Ph (I), To1 (II), Ph₂P(O)CH=CHP(O)PhEt (III), Et₂P(O)CH=CHP(O)PhEt (IV), and cis-R₂P(O)CH=CHP(O)R₂ R=Ph (V), To1 (VI) with PF₅ and TaF₅have been studied in MeCN and CH²C1² solutions by means of ¹H, ¹⁹F, ³¹P and ¹³C FT NMR. The results indicate that in solutions the trans-isomers of dioxides (I-IV) can be mono-dentate ligands or bridging groups, and that they use one or two donor centers in complex formation with pentafluor-ides. In the latter case the ligands attach two Lewis acids to form binuclear complexes. The cis-isomers of dioxides (V-VI) can be monodentate or bridging ligands, and can also form chelate with substitution of fluoride-atoms and with formation of tetrafluorocations. The differences in relative stability of tetrafluoro-complexes of phosphorus and tantalum with chelate ligands were detected. In the case of tantalum complexes the intermolecular exchange of fluorine atoms occurs faster. The kinetic parameters of the fluorine exchange process are calculated.     

Complex Formation of [Ph2P(O)I2 C=CH2 and [Ph2 P(O) I2 C=PPh3 with Phosphorus and Tantalum Pentafluorides

Abstract

Reactions of PF₅ and TaF₅ with [Ph₂P(O)]₂ C=CH₂ (I) and [Ph₂P(O)]₂ C=PPh₃ (II) in MeCN and CH₂Cl₂ were studied by means of ¹⁹F, ³¹P, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It has become evident, that one or two phosphoryl groups in (I) and (II), as well as in cis- and trans-Ph₂P(O)CH=CHP(O)Ph₂, are involved in complex formation. The formation of tetra-fluoro cations PFL and PF₄L along with pentafluorocom-plexes PF₅L and TaF₅L was found. Ligands are coordinated with central ions of complexes as chelates. The trans-atoms F₁ of TaF ₅L are nonequivalent because of nonsymmetric position to the Ph3P-group. The F₁-atoms in PF₄L are supposed to be symmetric to the Ph₃P-group. The formation of tri-fluorocomplexes TaOF₃L was also observed. Since the position of ¹⁹F NMR resonance lines of TaOF₃L is near to that of pentafluorocomplexes, it can be supposed that either the change of Ta coordination number takes place, either oxygen atom comes into complex with inner sphere in the reaction with ligand or during hydrolysis.     

2-Phosphinothioyl- and 2-phosphinoylethylcyclopentadienyl zirconium and titanium complexes. Crystal structure of [η5:η1-C5H4CH2CH2P(O)Ph2]TiCl3

The intracomplex conversion of (2-diphenylphosphanoethyl)cyclopentadienyl zirconium and titanium complexes into the corresponding 2-phosphinothioyl and 2-phosphinoyl derivatives, viz., (η⁵-C₅H₅)[η ⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(S)Ph₂]ZrCl₂, [η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(S)Ph₂]ZrCl₃, [η⁵:η¹C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂]ZrCl₃·THF, and [η⁵:η ¹-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂]TiCl₃ (7), was performed. The NMR spectroscopy data revealed the following order of the coordination ability of the functional groups with respect to the Zr center: Ph₂P=O > Ph₂P > Ph₂P=S. An analogous order was found for the monodentate ligands (Ph₃P=O > Ph₃P > Ph₃P=S) with respect to (η⁵-C₅H₅)ZrCl₃. The molecular structure of complex 7 was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Coordination of the Ph₂P=O group to the titanium atom was found retained both in the crystalline state and solution.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Copper and Silver Complexes with the Ylide Ph3PCHP(O)PPh2 as Ligand

The reactivity of the hydrolysis product of hexaphenylcarbodiphosphorane, PPh₃CHP(O)Ph₂, towards different soft Lewis acids, such as CuI and Ag[BF₄] are reported. While CuI exclusively binds at the ylidic carbon atom, reaction of the silver cation in CH₂Cl₂ leads to proton abstraction from the solvent to give the cation [PPh₃CH₂P(O)Ph₂]⁺. Surprisingly, Ag⁺ replaces the methyl group of [PPh₃CHMeP(O)Ph₂]⁺ to produce a dimeric complex, in which Ag⁺ is coordinated to C and O forming an eight membered ring. The compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods and X‐ray diffraction.     

DIPHOSPHINE COMPOUNDS: PART I. NOVEL BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE 1,1′bis-AND/OR 1,2-cis-(DIPHENYLPHOSPHINO-)ETHENE AND THEIR COMPLEXES [M(CO)n{Ph2P(CHn)nPPh2}] & [Cu(Cl)2{Ph2P(CHn)nPPh2}], (M = W,Mo, Crn = 1,2….n)

Interaction of [Ph₂PC(═CH₂)PPh₂] (A)^1–3 and/or [Ph₂P (CH═CH) PPh₂](B) ligands in different molar ratio with hexacarbonyl metals M(CO)₆ gives [M(CO) _n Ph₂PC(═CH₂)PPh₂] and/or [M(CO) _n Ph₂P (CH═CH)PPh₂ where M═ Cr, Mo or W, n = 2 and/or 4]. The carbon diphosphine complexes of type (A) which form four heteromemebered rings and/or type (B) form five heteromembered rings which reacts (addition reaction) with some different amines (methyl amine, dimethyl amine), phenyl hydrazine and/or some of amino acids (glycine, alanine, aspartic acid, serene). The structures of A and/or B complexes and their amino derivatives have been characterized by using elemental analysis, IR spectra, ¹HNMR,¹H-³¹P-NMR, and mass spectra. Ligands and their complexes were screened in vitro to investigate the biological activities (antibacterial and antifungi). Interestingly, complexes are having strong and remarkable activities increases than the free ligands.     

Conformational Analysis, Infrared, and Fluorescence Spectra of 1-Phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime and Related Tautomers: Experimental and Theoretical Study

Conformational analysis and frequency calculation were achieved for 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime and its four tautomers: 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol, 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-2-propanone, 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime, and 3-nitroso-3-phenyl-propen-2-ol. Calculations were carried out at the Hartree–Fock (HF), Density Functional Theory (B3LYP), and the second-order M?ller–Plesset perturbation (MP2) levels of theory using 6-31G^* and 6-311G^** basis sets. Five conformers with no imaginary vibrational frequency were obtained by free rotations around three single bonds of 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione-1-oxime: Ph–C(NOH)C(O)CH₃, PhC(NOH)–C(O)CH₃, and PhC(N–OH)C(O)CH₃. Similarly, eight structures with no imaginary vibrational frequency were encountered upon rotations around three single bonds of 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol: Ph–C(NO)C(OH)CH₃, PhC(N–O)C(OH)CH₃, and PhC(NO)C(–OH)CH₃. In the same manner, six minima were found through rotations around three single bonds of 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-2-propanone: Ph–CH(NO)C(O)CH₃, PhCH(–NO)C(O)CH₃, and PhCH(NO)–C(O)CH₃. Also, two minima were found through rotations around four single bonds of 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime: Ph–C(NOH)C(OH)CH₂, PhC(N–OH)C(OH)CH₂, PhC(NOH)–C(OH)CH₂, and Ph-C(NOH)C(–OH)CH₂. Finally, two minima were found through rotations around four single bonds of 3-nitroso-3-phenyl-propen-2-ol: Ph–CH(NO)C(OH)CH₂, PhCH(–NO)C(OH)CH₂, PhCH(NO)–C(OH)CH₂, and PhCH(NO)C(–OH)CH₂. Interconversions within the above sets of conformers were probed through scanning (one and/or two dimensional), and/or QST3 techniques. The order of the stability of global minima encountered was: 1,2-propandione-1-oxime > 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-2-propanone > 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol > 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime > 3-nitroso-3-phenyl-propen-2-ol. Hydrogen bonding appears significant in tautomers of 1-nitroso-1-phenyl-1-propen-2-ol and 2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propenone oxime. The CIS simulated λ_max for the first excited singlet state (S₁) of 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime is 300.4 nm, which was comparable to its experimental λ_max of 312.0 nm. The calculated IR spectra of 1-phenyl-1,2-propandione 1-oxime and its tautomers were compared to the experimental spectra.

Nature of the Arsonium‐Ylide Ph3As=CH2 and a Uranium(IV) Arsonium–Carbene Complex

Treatment of [Ph₃EMe][I] with [Na{N(SiMe₃)₂}] affords the ylides [Ph₃E=CH₂] (E=As, 1As ; P, 1P ). For 1As this overcomes prior difficulties in the synthesis of this classical arsonium‐ylide that have historically impeded its wider study. The structure of 1As has now been determined, 45 years after it was first convincingly isolated, and compared to 1P , confirming the long‐proposed hypothesis of increasing pyramidalisation of the ylide‐carbon, highlighting the increasing dominance of E⁺?C^? dipolar resonance form (sp³‐C) over the E=C ene π‐bonded form (sp²‐C), as group 15 is descended. The uranium(IV)–cyclometallate complex [U{N(CH₂CH₂NSiPrⁱ₃)₂(CH₂CH₂SiPrⁱ₂CH(Me)CH₂)}] reacts with 1As and 1P by α‐proton abstraction to give [U(Tren^TIPS)(CHEPh₃)] (Tren^TIPS=N(CH₂CH₂NSiPrⁱ₃)₃; E=As, 2As ; P, 2P ), where 2As is an unprecedented structurally characterised arsonium‐carbene complex. The short U?C distances and obtuse U‐C‐E angles suggest significant U=C double bond character. A shorter U?C distance is found for 2As than 2P , consistent with increased uranium‐ and reduced pnictonium‐stabilisation of the carbene as group 15 is descended, which is supported by quantum chemical calculations.     

SYNTHESIS AND NMR CHARACTERIZATION OF P-VINYL SUBSTITUTED PHOSPHAZENE PRECURSORS1

Abstract

The reactions of either PhPCl₂ or PCl₃ with (Me₃Si)₂NLi followed by H₂C[dbnd]CHMgBr were used to prepare the new P-vinyl substituted [bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]phosphines, (Me₃Si)₂NP(R)CH[dbnd]CH₂ [1: R=Ph, 2: CH[dbnd]CH₂, 3: R=Me, and 4: R=N(SiMe₃)₂]. Oxidative bromination of phosphines 3–1 afforded the P-bromo-P-vinyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)phosphoranimines, Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(CH[dbnd]CH₂)(R)Br [5: R=Ph, 6: R=CH[dbnd]CH₂, 7: R=Me], which, upon treatment with CF₃CH₂OH/Et₃N, were subsequently converted to the P-trifluoroethoxy derivatives, Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(CH[dbnd]CH₂)(R)OCH₂CF₃ [8: R=Ph, 9: R=CH[dbnd]CH₂, 10: R=Me]. Compounds 1–10, which are of interest as potential precursors to P-vinyl substituted poly(phosphazenes), were fully characterized by elemental analyses (except for the thermally unstable P-Br derivatives 5–7) and NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) including complete analysis of the vinylic proton splitting patterns via HOM2DJ experiments.     

Nature of the complexes formed by alkali metal halides with phosphine oxides

Reaction of alkali metal halides (MX) with methylenediphosphine oxides and various related compounds in nonaqueous solutions leads to the formation of complex compounds. The compositions, properties, and stabilities of these compounds, which have been studied in detail in acetonitrile, are determined by the nature of the cations and anions of the alkali metal halides. Formation of neutral complexes with the composition [MX · L] and cationic complexes with the composition [ML]⁺ has been established. The most characteristic representative of complexes of the first type is [NaI · L]; in the complexes studied, L=R₂P(O)CH₂P(O)R₂ (R=Bu, BuO, or Ph), Ph₂P(O)CH₂P(O) (OC₂H₅)CH₂P(O)Ph₂ and (p-OCH₃C₆H₄)₂P(O)CH₂P(O)(C₆H₄CF₃-p)₂. Compound [LiL]⁺ is characteristic of complexes of the second type; the compounds containing Ph₃P(O), Ph₂P(O)CH₂P(O)Ph₂, and Ph₂P(O)CH₂P(O)(OC₂H₅)CH₂P(O)Ph₂ as ligands have been studied. Stability constants of the complexes [NaI · L] and [LiL]⁺ have been determined by measuring the dependence of the electrical conductivity of solutions of the alkali metal halides in acetonitrile on the concentration of the ligands. The complex-forming power of phosphine oxides increases with increase in the number of P=O groups. Stabilities of the complexes [NaI · L] with ligands with identical structure decrease with increase in the electronegativity of the substituents on the phosphorus atoms.

The structure of 1As has now been determined, 45 years after it was first convincingly isolated, and compared to 1P , confirming the long-proposed hypothesis of increasing pyramidalisation of the ylide-carbon, highlighting the increasing dominance of E⁺−C⁻ dipolar resonance form (sp³-C) over the E=C ene π-bonded form (sp²-C), as group 15 is descended. The uranium(IV)–cyclometallate complex [U{N(CH₂CH₂NSiPrⁱ₃)₂(CH₂CH₂SiPrⁱ₂CH(Me)CH₂)}] reacts with 1As and 1P by α-proton abstraction to give [U(Tren^TIPS)(CHEPh₃)] (Tren^TIPS=N(CH₂CH₂NSiPrⁱ₃)₃; E=As, 2As ; P, 2P ), where 2As is an unprecedented structurally characterised arsonium-carbene complex. The short U−C distances and obtuse U-C-E angles suggest significant U=C double bond character. A shorter U−C distance is found for 2As than 2P , consistent with increased uranium- and reduced pnictonium-stabilisation of the carbene as group 15 is descended, which is supported by quantum chemical calculations.     

Synthesis,characterization, and electrochemistry of phosphine-substituted diiron butane-1,2-dithiolate complexes

Abstract

The reactions of the starting complex, [Fe₂(CO)₆{μ-SCH₂CH (CH₂CH₃)S}] (1), with the phosphine ligands tris(4-methylphenyl)phosphine, diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine, tris(4-fluorophenyl)phosphine, 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde, or benzyldiphenylphosphine in the presence of the decarbonylating agent Me₃NO·2H₂O yielded the corresponding phosphine-substituted diiron butane-1,2-dithiolate complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(L){μ-SCH₂CH(CH₂CH₃)S}] (L?=?P(4-C₆H₄CH₃)₃, 2; Ph₂P(2-C₅H₄N), 3; P(4-C₆H₄F)₃, 4; Ph₂P(2-C₆H₄CHO), 5; Ph₂PCH₂Ph, 6) in 75%–87% yields. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, and ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy, as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Moreover, the electrochemistry of 2–4 was studied by cyclic voltammetry, suggesting that they can catalyze the reduction of protons to H₂ in the presence of HOAc.     

Extraction of f-elements from nitric acid solutions with phosphoryl ketones

The extraction ability and selectivity of a series of phosphoryl ketones Ph₂P(O)CH₂C(O)Me, and Ph₂P(O)CRR’CH₂C(O)Me (R = H, Me; R’ = H, Me, n-C₅H₁₁, Ph, 2-thienyl, 2-furyl) towards trivalent lanthanides (La^III, Nd^III, Ho^III, Yb^III) and actinides (U^VI, Th^IV) were studied. The efficiency and selectivity of the new ligands in the extraction of f-elements from nitric acid solutions into chloroform were compared to those of model phosphine oxide Ph₂P(O)Bu and known extractants: tributyl phosphate (BuO)₃P(O), trioctylphosphine oxide (C₈H₁₇)₃P(O), and carbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide Ph₂P(O)CH₂C(O)NBu₂.     

Structural,Theoretical, and Spectroscopic Study of Mercury(II) Complexes of two New Unsymmetric Phosphorus Ylides

Abstract

The reaction of Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂ (dppm) with 4-methylphenacyl bromide and 2-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene in chloroform produce the new phosphonium salts [Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂CH₂C(O)C₆H₄Me]Br (1) and [Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂CH₂C(O)C₁₀H₇]Br (2). Further, by reaction of the monophosphonium salts of dppm with the strong base Et₃N the corresponding bidentate phosphorus ylides, Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)₂ = C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Me (3) and Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)₂ = C(H)C(O)C₁₀H₇ (4) were obtained. The reaction of these ligands with mercury(II) halides in dry methanol led to the formation of the mononuclear complexes {HgX ₂[(Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Me)]} [X = Cl (5), Br (6), and I (7)] and {HgX ₂[(Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₁₀H₇)]} [X = Cl (8), Br (9), and I (10)]. Characterization of the obtained compounds was performed by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR spectra. The structure of compounds 3 and 10 are unequivocally determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. X-ray analysis of 10 reveals the presence of mononuclear complex containing Hg atom in a distorted tetrahedral environment. In all complexes, the title ylides are coordinated through the ylidic carbon and the phosphine phosphorus. Computational studies on ligand 4 and complexes 8, 9, and 10 at DFT (B3LYP) level of theory are also reported. It was shown that the formation of P,C-coordinated 1+1 complex 10 is energetically more favored than corresponding P,P-coordinated 1+2 product.

Structural studies of diiron complexes with monophosphine ligands tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine or diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine

Four diiron dithiolate complexes with monophosphine ligands have been prepared and structurally characterized. Reactions of (μ-SCH₂CH₂S-μ)Fe₂(CO)₆ or [μ-SCH(CH₃)CH(CH₃)S-μ]Fe₂(CO)₆ with tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosphine or diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine in the presence of Me₃NO·2H₂O afforded diiron pentacarbonyl complexes with monophosphine ligands (μ-SCH₂CH₂S-μ)Fe₂(CO)₅[P(4-C₆H₄Cl)₃] (1), (μ-SCH₂CH₂S-μ)Fe₂(CO)₅[Ph₂P(2-C₅H₄N)] (2), [μ-SCH(CH₃)CH(CH₃)S-μ]Fe₂(CO)₅[P(4-C₆H₄Cl)₃] (3), and [μ-SCH(CH₃)CH(CH₃)S-μ]Fe₂(CO)₅[Ph₂P(2-C₅H₄N)] (4) in good yields. Complexes 1–4 were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, ³¹P{¹H} NMR and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the molecular structures of 1–4 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography.     

Spectral and crystallography studies of new palladacycle complexes with P,C‐ and C,C‐donor ligands; Application of (OAL16) to optimizing the yield of Mizoroki‐Heck reaction

The new symmetrical diphosphonium salt [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CH₂C(O)C₆H₄Br)₂] Br₂ ( S ) was synthesized in the reaction of 1,2‐bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane (dppe) and related ketone. Further treatment with NEt₃ gave the symmetrical α‐keto stabilized diphosphine ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CHC(O)C₆H₄Br)₂] ( Y ¹ ). The unsymmetrical α‐keto stabilized diphosphine ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CHC(O)C₆H₄Br)] ( Y ² ) was synthesized in the reaction of diphosphine in 1:1 ratio with 2.3′‐dibromoacetophenone, then treatment with NEt_3. The reaction of dibromo (1,5‐cyclooctadiene)palladium (II), [PdBr₂(COD)] with this ligand ( Y ¹ ) in equimolar ratio gave the new C,C‐chelated [PdBr₂(Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Br)₂)] ( 1 ) and with unsymmetrical phosphorus ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Br] ( Y ² ) gave the new P, C‐chelated palladacycle complex [PdBr₂(Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)Br)] ( 2 ). These compounds were characterized successfully by FT‐IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P) spectroscopic methods and the crystal structure of Y ¹ and 2 were elucidated by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The results indicated that the complex 1 was C, C‐chelated whereas complex 2 was P, C‐chelated. These air/moisture stable complexes were employed as efficient catalysts for the Mizoroki‐Heck cross‐coupling reaction of several aryl chlorides, and the Taguchi method was used to optimize the yield of Mizoroki‐Heck coupling. The optimum condition was found to be as followed: base; K₂CO₃, solvent; DMF and loading of catalyst; 0.005 mmol.     

REACTIONS OF A PHOSPHORANIMINE ANION WITH SOME ORGANIC ELECTROPHILES

Abstract

The reactions of a variety of electrophiles with the N-silyl-P-trifluoroethoxyphosphoranimine anion Me₃Sin°P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH^? ₂ (1a), prepared by the deprotonation of the dimethyl precursor Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(OCH₂CF₃)Me₂ (1) with n-BuLi in Et₂O at-78°C, were studied. Thus, treatment of 1a with alkyl halides, ethyl chloroformate, or bromine afforded the new N-silylphosphoranimine derivatives Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂R [2: R = Me, 3: R = CH₂Ph, 4: R = CH[sbnd]CH₂, 5: R = C(O)OEt, and 6: R = Br]. In another series, when 1a was allowed to react with various carbonyl compounds, 1,2-addition of the anion to the carbonyl group was observed. Quenching with Me₃SiCl gave the O-silylated products Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂°C(OSiMe₃)R¹R² [7: R ¹ = R ² = Me; 8: R ¹ = Me, R ² = Ph; 9: R¹ = Me, R ² = CH[sbnd]CH₂; and 10: R ¹ = H, R ² = Ph]. Compounds 2–10 were obtained as distillable, thermally stable liquids and were characterized by NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) and elemental analysis.     

Synthesis and characterization of new (N‐diphenylphosphino)‐isopropylanilines and their complexes: crystal structure of (Ph2P S)NH?C6H4?4?CH(CH3)2 and catalytic activity of palladium(II) complexes in the Heck and Suzuki cross‐coupling reactions

Three new (N‐diphenylphosphino)‐isopropylanilines, having isopropyl substituent at the carbon 2‐ (1) 4‐ (2) or 2,6‐ (3) were prepared from the aminolysis of chlorodiphenylphosphine with 2‐isopropylaniline, 4‐isopropylaniline or 2,6‐diisopropylaniline, respectively, under anaerobic conditions. Oxidation of 1,2 and 3 with aqueous hydrogen peroxide, elemental sulfur or gray selenium gave the corresponding oxides, sulfides and selenides (Ph₂P?E)NH? C₆H₄? 2‐CH(CH₃)₂, (Ph₂P?E)NH? C₆H₄? 4‐CH(CH₃)₂ and (Ph₂P?E)NH? C₆H₄? 2,6‐{CH(CH₃)₂}₂, where E = O, S, or Se, respectively. The reaction of [M(cod)Cl₂] (M = Pd, Pt; cod = 1,5‐cyclooctadiene) with two equivalents of 1,2 or 3 yields the corresponding monodendate complexes [M((Ph₂P)NH? C₆H₄? 2‐CH(CH₃)₂)₂Cl₂], M = Pd 1d, M = Pt 1e, [M((Ph₂P)NH? C₆H₄? 4‐CH(CH₃)₂)₂Cl₂], M = Pd 2d, M = Pt 2e and [M((Ph₂P)NH? C₆H₄? 2,6‐(CH(CH₃)₂)₂)₂Cl₂], M = Pd 3d, M = Pt 3e, respectively. All the compounds were isolated as analytically pure substances and characterized by NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Furthermore, representative solid‐state structure of [(Ph₂P?S)NH? C₆H₄? 4‐CH(CH₃)₂] (2b) was determined using single crystal X‐ray diffraction technique. The complexes 1d–3d were tested and found to be highly active catalysts in the Suzuki coupling and Heck reaction, affording biphenyls and stilbenes, respectively.

The PPh₂P(S)NHP(S)PPh₂ (dppaS₂) ligand reacts with the starting complexes PtCl₂(L-L) (L-L = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂), (dppm), Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂ (dppe), Ph₂PCH₂CH₂CH₂PPh₂ (dppp), and NaClO₄·H₂O. Final products are monomeric complexes, and their formulas are [Pt(L-L)(dppaS₂-H)] [(L-L = dppm(1), dppe(2), dppp(3)]. All of these have been characterized by ¹H, ¹³C^,31{P¹H} NMR, FTIR, and elemental analysis. These complexes were also examined by TGA, DTA, and DSC analysis. Complexes 2 and 3 were crystallographically characterized.     

Palladium(II) Chloride Interaction with Chelating BIS(Phosphine Sulfides). Effect of the Ligand Structure on the Complex Geometry

Abstract

Interaction of PdCl₂ in chloroform with bis(phosphine sulfides) Ph₂P(S)?X?P(S)Ph₂ (X?CH₂, C(CH₃)₂, CH₂CH₂, NH, S, and SCH₂S) has been studied. Mechanism of the reaction has been found to vary dramatically with the identity of X. The structures of the resultant complexes were evaluated by UV and IR spectroscopy. Crystal structures were were determined by X-ray diffraction for two of the compounds (A: [Ph₂P(S)?(CH₂)₂?P(S)Ph₂]PdCl₂ · CH₃CN, P2₁/n, Z = 4, a = 10.104(2), b = 20.939(4), c = 14.034(3) Å, γ = 102.54(2)· B: [Ph₂P(S)?N?P(S)Ph₂]₂Pd · 2CHCl₃, Pl, Z = 1, a = 9.539(1), b = 12.333(3), c = 12.866 Å, α = 111.83(2)°, β = 96.70(3)° γ = 99.84(3)°).
