New biimidazole and bibenzimidazole derivatives: mono and binuclear palladium(II) or platinum(II) complexes and heterobinuclear palladium(II)-rhodium(I) or platinum(II)-rhodium(I) complexes

Novel neutral biimidazolate or bibenzimidazolate palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of the type M(NN)₂(dpe) [M = Pd, Pt; (NN)₂^2? = BiIm^2?, BiBzIm^2?. dpe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino) ethane] have been obtained by reacting MCl₂(dpe) with TI₂(NN)₂. Complexes M(NN)₂(dpe) which are Lewis bases react with HClO₄ or [M(dpe)(Me₂CO)₂](ClO₄)₂ to yield, respectively, mononuclear cationic complexes of general formula [M{H₂(NN)₂](dpe) (M = Pd, Pt; H₂(NN)₂ = H₂BiIm, H₂BiBzIm) and homobinuclear palladium(II) or platinum(II) cationic complexes of the type [M₂{μ - (NN)₂}(dpe)₂](ClO₄)₂. Reactions of M(BiBzIm)(dpe) with [Rh(COD) (Me₂CO)_X](ClO₄) render similar heterobinuclear palladium(II)-rhodium(I) and platinum(II)-rhodium(I) cationic complexes, of general formula [(dpe)M(μ-BiBzIm)Rh(COD)](ClO₄) (M = Pd, Pt; COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene). Di- and mono-carbonyl derivatives [(dpe)M(μ-BiBzIm)Rh(CO)L](ClO₄) (M = Pd, Pt; L = CO, PPh₃) have also been prepared. The structures of the resulting complexes have been elucidated by conductance studies and IR spectroscopy.     

Hemilability and structural considerations in complexes of platinum(II) comprising bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane monoxide,monosulfide, and monoselenide

The structure of a platinum(II) complex containing (R)-(dimethylamino)ethylnapthyl and bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane monosulfide ligands, namely, {(R)-1-[1-(dimethylamino)ethyl]napthyl-κ²N,C²}[(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)diphenylphosphine sulfide-κ²P,S]platinum(II) hexafluoridoantimonate dichloromethane monosolvate, [Pt(C₁₄H₁₆N)(C₂₅H₂₂P₂S)][SbF₆]·CH₂Cl₂, was determined. The structural features are compared with analogous platinum bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane monoxide [dppm(O)] and bis(diphenylphosphanyl)methane monoselenide [dppm(Se)] complexes in relation to their potential hemilability and stereochemical nonrigidity.     

Complexes of AgI with cationic ligands: bis[(pyridylmethyl)ammonio]silver(I) salts

Bis­[(2-pyridyl­methyl)­ammonio]silver(I) trinitrate, [Ag(C₆H₉N₂)₂](NO₃)₃, (I), and bis{bis­[(4-pyridyl­methyl)­ammonio]silver(I)} hexakis­(perchlorate) dihydrate, [Ag(C₆H₉N₂)₂]₂(ClO₄)₆·2H₂O, (II), are rare examples of complexes with cationic ligands. In (I), the Ag⁺ cation has a T-shaped [2+1] coordination involving the pyridine N atoms and a nitrate O atom, while in (II) there are three independent two-coordinate Ag complex cations (two with the Ag atoms on independent inversion centres) and disordered ClO₄⁻ ions. The crystal structures reveal the role of hydrogen bonding in stabilizing these complexes.     

Kinetics of reaction of alkynes with some cobalt carbonyls

Pt(CO)₂Cl₂ reacts in benzene, toluene or tetrahydrofuran with 3-hexyne to give carbonylplatinumbis[di-μ-chloro,chloro(tetraethylcyclobutadiene)platinum](I), bis[dichloro(tetraethylcyclopentadienone)platinum] (III), dichloro-(tetraethyl-p-benzoquinone)platinum (IV) and dichloro(tetraethylcyclobutadiene)platinum (II). This last compound is also obtained by treating I with 1 to 3 moles of triphenylphosphine or p-toluidine. p ]The structure and reactions of III are discussed; the anion exchange reaction gives the iodo-analogue, while treatment with donor ligands gives adducts of formula [(C₂H₅)₄C₄CO]PtCl₂L(L = triphenylphosphine, p-toluidine, benzylamine and pyridine) and [(C₂H₅)₄C₄CO]PtCl₂L₂(L = benzylamine, 3-methylpyridine). p ]2-Butyne reacts with dichlorodicarbonylplatinum to give the methyl analogous of compounds I–III.     

Luminescent Amphiphilic 2,6‐Bis(1‐alkylpyrazol‐3‐yl)pyridyl Platinum(II) Complexes: Synthesis,Characterization, Electrochemical,Photophysical, and Langmuir–Blodgett Film Formation Studies

Two series of novel platinum(II) 2,6‐bis(1‐alkylpyrazol‐3‐yl)pyridyl (N5Cn) complexes, [Pt(N5Cn)Cl][X] ( 1 – 9 ) and [Pt(N5Cn)(C?CR)][X] ( 10 – 13 ) (X=trifluoromethanesulfonate (OTf) or PF₆; R=C₆H₅, C₆H₄‐p‐CF₃ and C₆H₄‐p‐N(C₆H₅)₂), with various chain lengths of the alkyl groups on the nitrogen atom of the pyrazolyl units have been successfully synthesized and characterized. Their electrochemical and photophysical properties have been studied. Some of their molecular structures have also been determined by X‐ray crystallography. Two amphiphilic platinum(II) 2,6‐bis(1‐tetradecylpyrazol‐3‐yl)pyridyl (N5C14) complexes, [Pt(N5C14)Cl]PF₆ ( 7 ) and [Pt(N5C14)(C?CC₆H₅)]PF₆ ( 13 ), were found to form stable and reproducible Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films at the air–water interface. The characterization of such LB films has been investigated by the study of their surface pressure–area (π–A) isotherms, UV/Vis spectroscopy, XRD, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), FTIR, and polarized IR spectroscopy. The luminescence property of 13 in LB films has also been studied.     

Hydrogen‐bonded chains in three cis‐dichloridoplatinum(II) complexes bearing piperidine and amine ligands

The crystal structures of cis‐dichlorido(ethylamine‐κN)(piperidine‐κN)platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₂H₇N)(C₅H₁₁N)], (I), cis‐dichlorido(3‐methoxyaniline‐κN)(piperidine‐κN)platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₅H₁₁N)(C₇H₉NO)], (II), and cis‐dichlorido(piperidine‐κN)(quinoline‐κN)platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₅H₁₁N)(C₉H₇N)], (III), have been determined at 100 K in order to verify the influence of the nonpiperidine ligand on the geometry and crystal packing. The crystal packing is characterized by N—H...Cl hydrogen bonding, resulting in the formation of chains of molecules connected in a head‐to‐tail fashion. Hydrogen‐bonding interactions play a major role in the packing of (I), where the chains further aggregate into planes, but less so in the case of (II) and (III), where π–π stacking interactions are of greater importance.     

Synthesis and characterization of mono- and dinuclear aryl palladium(II) complexes: oxidative additions of 1,4-dihalogenated benzene or 4,4′-dibromobiphenyl to Pd(PR3)4

Mononuclear palladium(II) complexes 1–12, (C₆H₄X-4)PdX?(PR₃)₂ (X?=?I, Br, or Cl; X??=?I or Br; R?=?Ph, Cy, Et, or Me), were synthesized by oxidative addition of 1,4-dihalogenated benzene to Pd(PR₃)₄; dinuclear palladium(II) complexes 13–15, (Me₃P)₂XPd(C₆H₄-1,4)PdX?(PMe₃)₂ (X, X??=?I or Br), could be obtained only using trimethylphosphine. Another method to prepare 13–15 is via re-oxidative addition of the corresponding mononuclear palladium(II) complexes and Pd(PMe₃)₄. Using 4,4′-dibromobiphenyl as the starting material, the mononuclear palladium(II) complexes [C₆H₄(C₆H₄Br-4)-4]PdBr(PPh₃)₂ (16) and [C₆H₄(C₆H₄Br-4)-4]PdBr(PCy₃)₂ (17) with bulky phosphines could be synthesized at relative low temperature, while dinuclear 18, (Cy₃P)₂BrPd(C₆H₄C₆H₄-4,4?)PdBr(PCy₃)₂, was prepared by bis-oxidative addition at higher temperature. The re-oxidative addition of 16 and Pd(PMe₃)₄ gave dinuclear 19, (Me₃P)₂BrPd(C₆H₄C₆H₄-4,4?)PdBr(PMe₃)₂, accompanying phosphine exchange. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that formation of dinuclear palladium(II) complexes depends on the reaction temperature, phosphine ligands, and bridging groups.     

Structure of palladium chloride complexes with organic sulfides in solutions

EXAFS spectroscopy was used to study the influence of various factors on the structure of PdCl₂ complexes with organic sulfides in organic solvents. Absolute interatomic distances in the first coordination sphere of Pd were determined for the complexes [PdCl₂·2(C₆H₁₃)₂S] (I), [PdCl₂·(C₆H₁₃)₂S]₂ (II), [PdCl₂·2(C₆H₅)₂S] (III), and [PdCl₂·(C₄H₉)S(C₄H₇)] (IV) and for their solutions in some organic solvents. Our hypothesis that aromatic solvent molecules are coordinated to palladium atoms through weak π-bonds, which was proposed for complex (I) in benzene, is supported fror benzene and pseudocumene solutions of complexes (I), (II), and (III). It is shown that the characteristic features of the specific solvation of the complexes under study are determined by the electron properties and spatial structures of the molecules as well as by the donating abilities of the solvents.

Cyclic acyl complexes of palladium(II). Synthesis and NMR spectroscopy of acyl complexes derived from quinoline-8-carbaldehyde and 2-(dimethylamino)benzaldehyde

The room temperature syntheses of new chelating acyl palladium(II) complexes, [Pd(μ-Cl)(C(O)C₉H₆N)]₂ and [Pd(μ-Cl)(C(O)C₆H₄N(CH₃)₂]₂, derived from quinoline-8-carbaldehyde and 2-(dimethylamino)banzaldehyde are described. These chloro bridged dimers may be cleaved with neutral phosphine and nitrogen ligands, L, to give the monomeric [PdCl(C(O)C₉H₆N)L] and [PdCl(C(O)C₆H₄N(CH₃)₂)L] compounds. ¹H-, ¹³C- and ³¹P-NMR data for the new complexes are reported.     

Platinum(II), palladium(II), nickel(II), and gold(I) complexes of the “electrospray-friendly” thiolate ligands 4-SC5H4N− and 4-SC6H4OMe−

The series of platinum(II), palladium(II), and nickel(II) complexes [ML₂(dppe)] [M = Ni, Pd, Pt; L = 4–SC₅H₄N or 4–SC₆H₄OMe; dppe = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂] containing pyridine-4-thiolate or 4-methoxybenzenethiolate ligands, together with the corresponding gold(I) complexes [AuL(PPh₃)], were prepared and their electrospray ionization mass spectrometric behavior compared with that of the thiophenolate complexes [M(SPh)₂(dppe)] (M = Ni, Pd, Pt) and [Au(SPh)(PPh₃)]. While the pyridine-4-thiolate complexes yielded protonated ions of the type [M + H]⁺ and [M + 2H]²⁺ ions in the Ni, Pd, and Pt complexes, an [M + H]⁺ ion was only observed for the platinum derivative of 4-methoxybenzenethiolate. Other ions, which dominated the spectra of the thiophenolate complexes, were formed by thiolate loss and aggregate formation. The X-ray crystal structure of [Pt(SC₆H₄OMe–4)₂(dppe)] is also reported.     

The Nitrogen‐Assisted Triphenylphosphine Displacement of 3‐Hydroxypyridine and 3‐Aminopyridine Ligands in Palladium(II) Complexes: Crystal Structures of [Pd(PPh3)Br]2{μ,η2‐C5H3N(OH)}2 and [Pd(PPh3)Br]2{μ,η2‐C5H3N(NH2)}2

Treatment of Pd(PPh₃₎₄ with 2‐bromo‐3‐hydroxypyridine [C₅H₃N(OH)Br] and 3‐amino‐2‐bromopyridine [C₅H₃N(NH₂)Br] in dichloromethane at ambient temperature cause the oxidative addition reaction to produce the palladium complex [Pd(PPh₃₎₂{η¹‐C₅H₃N(OH)}(Br)], 2 and [Pd(PPh₃₎₂{η¹‐C₅H₃N(NH₂)}(Br)], 3 , by substituting two triphenylphosphine ligands, respectively. In dichloromethane solution of complexes 2 and 3 at ambient temperature for 3 days, it undergo displacement of the triphenylphosphine ligand to form the dipalladium complexes [Pd(PPh₃)Br]₂{μ,η²‐C₅H₃N(OH)}₂, 4 and [Pd(PPh₃)Br]₂{μ,η²‐C₅H₃N(NH₂)}₂, 5 , in which the two 3‐hydroxypyridine and 3‐aminopyridine ligands coordinated through carbon to one metal center and bridging the other metal through nitrogen atom, respectively. Complexes 4 and 5 are characterized by X‐ray diffraction analyses.     

Bis(alkoxycarbonyl) complexes of platinum: preparation,reactivity and their role in carbonylation reactions

bis(alkoxycarbonyl) complexes of platinum of the type [Pt(COOR)₂L] [L = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), l,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) or 1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)benzene (dpb); R = CH₃, C₆H₅ or C₂H₅] were obtained by reaction of [PtCl₂L] with carbon monoxide and alkoxides. Palladium and nickel complexes gave only carbonyl complexes of the type [M(CO)L] or [M(CO)₂L]. The new complexes were characterized by chemical and spectroscopic means. The X-ray structure of [Pt(COOCH₃)₂(dppf] · CH₃OH is also reported. The reactivity of some alkoxycarbonyl complexes was also investigated.     

Crystallization experiments with the dinuclear chelate ring complex di‐μ‐chlorido‐bis[(η2‐2‐allyl‐4‐methoxy‐5‐{[(propan‐2‐yloxy)carbonyl]methoxy}phenyl‐κC1)platinum(II)]

Crystallization experiments with the dinuclear chelate ring complex di‐μ‐chlorido‐bis[(η²‐2‐allyl‐4‐methoxy‐5‐{[(propan‐2‐yloxy)carbonyl]methoxy}phenyl‐κC¹)platinum(II)], [Pt₂(C₁₅H₁₉O₄)₂Cl₂], containing a derivative of the natural compound eugenol as ligand, have been performed. Using five different sets of crystallization conditions resulted in four different complexes which can be further used as starting compounds for the synthesis of Pt complexes with promising anticancer activities. In the case of vapour diffusion with the binary chloroform–diethyl ether or methylene chloride–diethyl ether systems, no change of the molecular structure was observed. Using evaporation from acetonitrile (at room temperature), dimethylformamide (DMF, at 313 K) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, at 313 K), however, resulted in the displacement of a chloride ligand by the solvent, giving, respectively, the mononuclear complexes (acetonitrile‐κN)(η²‐2‐allyl‐4‐methoxy‐5‐{[(propan‐2‐yloxy)carbonyl]methoxy}phenyl‐κC¹)chloridoplatinum(II) monohydrate, [Pt(C₁₅H₁₉O₄)Cl(CH₃CN)]·H₂O, (η²‐2‐allyl‐4‐methoxy‐5‐{[(propan‐2‐yloxy)carbonyl]methoxy}phenyl‐κC¹)chlorido(dimethylformamide‐κO)platinum(II), [Pt(C₁₅H₁₉O₄)Cl(C₂H₇NO)], and (η²‐2‐allyl‐4‐methoxy‐5‐{[(propan‐2‐yloxy)carbonyl]methoxy}phenyl‐κC¹)chlorido(dimethyl sulfoxide‐κS)platinum(II), determined as the analogue {η²‐2‐allyl‐4‐methoxy‐5‐[(ethoxycarbonyl)methoxy]phenyl‐κC¹}chlorido(dimethyl sulfoxide‐κS)platinum(II), [Pt(C₁₄H₁₇O₄)Cl(C₂H₆OS)]. The crystal structures confirm that acetonitrile interacts with the Pt^II atom via its N atom, while for DMSO, the S atom is the coordinating atom. For the replacement, the longest of the two Pt—Cl bonds is cleaved, leading to a cis position of the solvent ligand with respect to the allyl group. The crystal packing of the complexes is characterized by dimer formation via C—H…O and C—H…π interactions, but no π–π interactions are observed despite the presence of the aromatic ring.     

The classification of trigonal bipyramidal platinum(II), rhodium(I) and iridium(I) olefin complexes

It is shown that trigonal bipyramidal platinum(II), rhodium(I) and iridium(I) olefin complexes are better classified with the platinum(O) complex [Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄)] as class T olefin complexes than with the square-planar platinum(II) complexes such as [Pt(C₂H₄)Cl₃]^- which fall in class S. The underlying reasons for this are considered to be electronic rather than steric as was previously suggested.     

Carbamoyl and alkoxycarbonyl complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II)

Carbamoyl and alkoxycarbonyl complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II) of the type M(pnp)(CONHR)Cl (pnp = 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)pyridine; M Pd, R  C₆H₅, p-CH₃C₆H₄, p-CH₃OC₆H₄, C₆H₁₁, t-Bu; M  Pt, R  C₆H₅), Pd(pnp)[CON(Pr)₂]Cl (Pr = propyl), M(pnp)(COOR)Cl (M  Pd, R  C₆H₅, CH₃; M  Pt, R  CH₃), Pd(pnp)(COOCH₃)₂ result from reaction of M(pnp)Cl₂ with carbon monoxide and amines or alkoxides at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.The carbamoyl complexes react with bases to give urethane or diphenylurea depending upon the experimental conditions.     

Influence of the nature of organic ligands on the character of thermal decomposition products of CoII and NiII pivalate complexes with amino derivatives of pyridine

The thermal stability and the solid-state thermal decomposition of the known mononuclear cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes [H₂N(C₅H₃N)N(H)C(Me)=NH]M(OOCBu^t)₂, [(NH₂)₂C₆H₂Me₂]₃M(OOCBu^t)₂ and the new compounds L₂M(OOCBu^t)₂ (L = = (2-NH₂)C₅H₃N, (2-NH₂)(6-Me)C₅H₃N), and [(2,6-NH₂)₂C₅H₃N]₂Ni(OOCBu^t)₂ were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Efficient methods were developed for the synthesis of these complexes. The mononuclear complexes are thermally quite stable. The thermal stability of the complexes depends on the nature of the ligand and decreases in the series (2,6-NH₂)₂C₅H₃N > H₂N(C₅H₃N)NHC(Me)=NH > (NH₂)₂C₆H₂Me₂ > (2-NH₂)C₅H₃N > (2-NH₂)(6-Me)C₅H₃N. The nickel(II) complexes are thermally more stable than the related cobalt(II) complexes. The thermolysis (<500 °C) of Co and Ni pivalates is a destructive process. The phase composition of the decomposition products is determined by the nature of metal and coordinated ligands.     

Insertion of isocyanides into the palladium-(2-pyridyl) bond

The reaction of the pyridyl-bridged binuclear complex [PdBr(μ-2-C₅H₄N)(PPh₃)]₂ with isocyynides CNR (R  p-C₆H₄OMe, Me, C₆H₁₁) yields the complex $\text{PdBr}${(&2.dbnd;NR)C(&2.dbnd;NR) (2-C₅H₄N)}(PPh₃)] containing a C,N-chelated 1,2-bis(imino)-2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl group, which results from successive insertions of two isocyanides molecules into the palladium2-pyridyl bond. The mononuclear compound trans-[PdBr(2-C₅H₄N)(PMePh₂)₂] readily reacts with various CNR ligands (R  p-C₆H₄OMe, Me, C₆H₁₁, CMe₃) to give the imino(2-pyridyl)methylpalladium(II) derivatives, trans-[Pdbr{C(=NR)(2-C₅H₄N)} (PMePh₂)₂].     

Palladium(II) complexes of benzaldehyde and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-4-H/phenyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis>-ethyl/allyl-thiosemicarbazones

The thiosemicarbazone derivatives R₁-C₆H₄-CH=N-N=(C-S-R₂)-NH-R₃ [R₁ = H, OH; R₂ = H, Ph; R₃ = C₂H₅, C₃H₅] were prepared by a modified general method. The Pd(II) complexes of the thiosemicarbazone ligands L^I–VI were isolated in the compositions [Pd(L)Cl₂], [Pd(L)Cl] and [Pd(L)₂]. The 1: 1 and 1: 2 metal complexes have non-ionic character, and the compounds were characterized by analytical data and infrared and proton resonance spectroscopy. The cis-trans and syn-anti isomers of the thiosemicarbazones were determined by means of ¹H NMR, and the coordination behavior of the polydentate thiosemicarbazone ligands towards the palladium ion were discussed.     

Synthesis and characterization of cyclometallated palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with amide-thiolate ligands

The redox reaction of bis(2-benzamidophenyl) disulfide (H₂L-LH₂) with [Pd(PPh₃)₄] in a 1:1 ratio gave mononuclear and dinuclear palladium(II) complexes with 2-benzamidobenzenethiolate (H₂L⁻), [Pd(H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (1) and [Pd₂(H₂L-S)₂ (μ-H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (2). A similar reaction with [Pt(PPh₃)₄] produced only the corresponding mononuclear platinum(II) complex, [Pt(H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (3). Treatment of these complexes with KOH led to the formation of cyclometallated palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes, [Pd(L-C,N,S)(PPh₃)]⁻ ([4]⁻) and [Pt(L-C,N,S) (PPh₃)]⁻ ([5]⁻). The molecular structures of 2, 3 and [4]⁻ were determined by X-ray crystallography.
