Coordination Chemistry of P-rich Phosphanes and Silylphosphanes. XVI [1] Reactions of [g²-{P–P^tBu₂}Pt(PPh₃)₂] and [g²-{P–P^tBu₂}Pt(dppe)] with Metal Carbonyls. Formation of [g²-{(CO)₅M · PP^tBu₂}Pt(PPh₃)₂] (M = Cr, W) and [g²-{(CO)₅Cr · PP^tBu₂}Pt(dppe)] [η²-{P–P^tBu₂}Pt(PPh₃)₂] 4 reacts with M(CO)₅ · THF (M = Cr, W) by adding the M(CO)₅ group to the phosphinophosphinidene ligand yielding [η²-{(CO)₅Cr · PP^tBu₂}Pt(PPh₃)₂] 1 , or [η²-{(CO)₅W · PP^tBu₂}Pt(PPh₃)₂] 2 , respectively. Similarly, [η²-{P–P^tBu₂}Pt(dppe)] 5 yields [η²-{(CO)₅Cr · PP^tBu₂}Pt(dppe)] 3 . Compounds 1 , 2 and 3 are characterized by their ¹H- and ³¹P-NMR spectra, for 2 and 3 also crystal structure determinations were performed. 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (no. 14) with a = 1422.7(1) pm, b = 1509.3(1) pm, c = 2262.4(2) pm, β = 103.669(9)°. 3 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 (no. 2) with a = 1064.55(9) pm, b = 1149.9(1) pm, c = 1693.2(1) pm, α = 88.020(8)°, β = 72.524(7)°, γ = 85.850(8)°.     

One‐Electron Oxidation of [M(PtBu3)2] (M=Pd,Pt): Isolation of Monomeric [Pd(PtBu3)2]+ and Redox‐Promoted C−H Bond Cyclometalation

Oxidation of zero‐valent phosphine complexes [M(P^tBu₃)₂] (M=Pd, Pt) has been investigated in 1,2‐difluorobenzene solution using cyclic voltammetry and subsequently using the ferrocenium cation as a chemical redox agent. In the case of palladium, a mononuclear paramagnetic Pd^I derivative was readily isolated from solution and fully characterized (EPR, X‐ray crystallography). While in situ electrochemical measurements are consistent with initial one‐electron oxidation, the heavier congener undergoes C−H bond cyclometalation and ultimately affords the 14 valence‐electron Pt^II complex [Pt(κ²_PC‐P^tBu₂CMe₂CH₂)(P^tBu₃)]⁺ with concomitant formation of [Pt(P^tBu₃)₂H]⁺.     

Structural organization and thermal behavior of the heteropolynuclear complex [Au2{S2CN(CH3)2}4][ZnCl4] and the heterovalent complex ([Au{S2CN(CH3)2}2][AuCl2]) n obtained in the chemisorption system [Zn2{S2CN(CH3)2}4]-Au3+/2 M HCl

Reactions of freshly precipitated binuclear zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate with [AuCl₄]^? anions in 2 M HCl were studied. The heteropolynuclear complex [Au₂{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₄][ZnCl₄] (I) and the polymeric heterovalent complex ([Au{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₂][AuCl₂]) _n (II) were preparatively isolated from the chemisorption system [Zn₂{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₄]-Au³⁺/2 M HCl. The products were characterized by ¹³C MAS NMR data and by X-ray diffraction determination of crystal and molecular structures. The principal structural units of compounds I and II are the tetragonal planar complex cations [Au{S₂CN(CH₃)₂}₂]⁺ (in which the complex-forming ion coordinates two MDtc ligands in the S,S′-bidentate mode) and the anions, namely, the distorted tetrahedral anion [ZnCl₄]^2? in I and the linear [AuCl₂]^? anion in II. The further structural self-organization of complexes at the supramoleular level occurs through relatively weak secondary bonds Au?S and Au?Cl. The chemisorption capacities of zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate calculated from gold(III)-binding reactions are 644.1 and 1288.2 mg of gold per gram of the sorbent. Simultaneous thermal analysis studies of the thermal behavior of I and II were used to elucidate the conditions of gold recovery.

The phosphorus‐sulfur ligand 1‐(methylthio)‐3‐(diphenylphosphino)‐propane (S‐P3) has been synthesized and characterized by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR. Reactions of S‐P3 with [PdCl₂(PhCN)₂] afforded the complexes [PdCl₂(S‐P3)] ( I ) and [PdCl₂(S‐P3)₂] ( II ), in which S‐P3 acts as a bidentate and monodentate ligand, respectively. Compound I crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with cell dimensions: a = 8.589(3), b = 15.051(3), c = 17.100(3)Å, β = 102.91(2)°, V = 2154.7(9)ų, Z = 4.

Transition metal complexes of ditertiary aminomethylphosphine ligand, (Ph₂PCH₂)NCH₃ [N,N‐bis(diphenylphospinomethyl)aminomethane], dppam, with metal ions which are Ag(I), Au(I), Cu(I), and Co(II) have been synthesized under nitrogen atmosphere by the Schlenk method. [Ag(dppam)₂]NO₃ ( 1 ), [Au(dppam)₂]Cl ( 2 ), and [Cu(dppam)₂]Cl ( 3 ) complexes have been isolated as colorless solids, whereas [CoCl₂(dppam)] ( 4 ) complex as a blue solid. All complexes have been characterized by atomic absorption, FT‐IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) spectroscopic, thermogravimetric/differantial thermal analysis (TG/DTA), and elemental analysis techniques.

Untersuchungen an Polyhalogeniden III. Tetrammin-kupfer(II)-tetraiodid, [Cu(NH3)4I2 · I2], und Tetrammin-kupfer(II)-hexaiodid, [Cu(NH3)4I3]I3

Studies on Polyhalides. III. Crystal Structures of [Cu(NH₃)₄I₂ · I₂] and [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]I₃ Tetramminecopper(II)tetraiodide [Cu(NH₃)₄I₂ · I₂] (I) crystallizes monoclinically in the space group C2/m with a = 1 185.9 pm, b = 892.8 pm, c = 656.8 pm, β = 111.10° and Z = 2 formula units. Tetramminecopper(II)hexaiodide [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]I₃ (II) crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pnnm with a = 874.9 pm, b = 1 089.8 pm, c = 885.3 pm, and Z = 2 formula units. A special feature of these structures are coordinated polyiodide ions I₄^2? (I) or I₃^? (II). In both compounds four coplanar nitrogen atoms and two axial iodine atoms form a quasi-octahedral coordination around copper with the usual (4+2)-tetragonal distortion. The copper ions are connected by linear, centrosymmetric polyiodide ions I₄^2? (I) or I₃^? (II). Therefore infinite planar zigzag chains of units [Cu(NH₃)₄I₄] (I) or [Cu(NH₃)₄I₃]⁺(II) are resulting. The counterion I₃^? (II) is intercalated between these chains.

One‐Electron Oxidation of [M(PtBu3)2] (M=Pd,Pt): Isolation of Monomeric [Pd(PtBu3)2]+ and Redox‐Promoted C−H Bond Cyclometalation

Oxidation of zero‐valent phosphine complexes [M(P^tBu₃)₂] (M=Pd, Pt) has been investigated in 1,2‐difluorobenzene solution using cyclic voltammetry and subsequently using the ferrocenium cation as a chemical redox agent. In the case of palladium, a mononuclear paramagnetic Pd^I derivative was readily isolated from solution and fully characterized (EPR, X‐ray crystallography). While in situ electrochemical measurements are consistent with initial one‐electron oxidation, the heavier congener undergoes C?H bond cyclometalation and ultimately affords the 14 valence‐electron Pt^II complex [Pt(κ²_PC‐P^tBu₂CMe₂CH₂)(P^tBu₃)]⁺ with concomitant formation of [Pt(P^tBu₃)₂H]⁺.     

Ring-opening reactions induced by gold(I) of five- and four-coordinate palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes containing tripodal or linear polyphosphines

The tripodal ligands NP(3)(tris[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]amine) and PP(3)(tris[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]phosphine), form five-coordinate [Pd(NP(3))X]X [X = Cl (1), Br (2)], [M(PP(3))X]X [M = Pd: X = Cl (4), Br (5), I (6); M = Pt, X = Cl (7), Br (8), I (9)] and four-coordinate[Pd(NP(3))I]I (3) complexes containing three fused rings around the metal. The interaction between Au(tdg)X (tdg = thiodiglycol; X = Cl, Br) or AuI and the respective ionic halo complexes 1-9 in a 1:1 stoichiometric ratio occurs via a ring-opening reaction with formation of the heterobimetallic systems PdAu(NP(3))X(3)[X = Cl (11), Br (12), I (13)], [MAu(PP(3))X(2)]X [M = Pd: X = Cl (14), Br (15), I (16); M = Pt: X = Cl (17), Br (18), I (19)]. The cations of complexes 17 and 18 were shown, by X-ray diffraction, to contain a distorted square-planar Pt(II) arrangement (Pt(P(2)P)X) where PP(3) is acting as tridentate chelating ligand and an almost linear PAuX moiety bearing the dangling phosphorus formed in the ring-opening process. PPh(3) coordinates to Au(I) and not to M(II) when added in excess to 14 and 17. Complexes 14-17 and [Pt(P(4))](BPh(4))(2) (10) (P4=linear tetraphosphine) also react with A(I), via chelate ring-openings to give MAu(2)(PP(3))X(4) [M = Pd: X = Cl (20), Br (21), I (22); M = Pt: X = Cl (23)] and [Pt(2)Au(2)(mu-Cl)(2)(mu-P(4))(2)](BPh(4))(4) (24), respectively.     

Synthese und Strukturuntersuchungen von Iodocupraten(I). XV Iodocuprate(I) mit solvatisierten Kationen: [Li(CH3CN)4][Cu2I3] und [Mg{(CH3)2CO}6][Cu2I4]

Synthesis and Structure Investigations of Iodocuprates(I). XV Iodocuprate(I) with Solvated Cations: [Li(CH₃CN)₄] [Cu₂I₃] and [Mg{(CH₃)₂CO}₆][Cu₂I₄] [Li(CH₃CN)₄][Cu₂I₃] 1 and [Mg((CH₃)₂CO)₆][Cu₂I₄] 2 were prepared by reactions of CuI with LiI in acetonitrile and of CuI with MgI₂ in acetone. 1 crystallizes orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 552.7(2), b = 1258.8(8), c = 2516(1) pm, z = 4. [Li(CH₃CN)₄]⁺ cations are located between rod packings of CuI₄ tetrahedra double chains [(CuI_2/2I_2/4)₂]^? parallel to the axis. Short intermolecular anion/cation contacts were observed. The crystal structure of 2 (monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 1840(2), b = 1059.2(2), c = 1879(2)pm, β = 112.94(4)°, z = 4) is built up by [Mg((CH₃)₂CO)₆]²⁺ cations forming a simple hexagonal sphere packing. The binuclear anions [Cu₂I₄]^2? occupy holes in the trigonal prismatic channels formed by the cations.     

Darstellung von trans-[Pt(N3)4X2]2− (X = Br,I, SCN,SeCN) durch oxidative Addition an [Pt(N3)4]2− in organischen Lösungsmitteln

Preparation of trans-[Pt(N₃)₄X₂]^2? (X ? Br, I, SCN, SeCN) by Oxidative Addition to [Pt(N₃)₄]^2? in Organic Solvents By oxidative addition to (TBA)₂[Pt(N₃)₄], dissolved in dichlormethane, trans-(TBA)₂[Pt(N₃)₄X₂], X ? Br, I, SCN, SeCN; TBA = Tetrabutylammonium, are formed. The vibrational spectra of these salts are assigned according to point group D_4h. From the resonance Raman spectrum of trans-(TBA)₂[Pt(N₃)₄I₂] the harmonic vibrational frequency ω₁ of v(Pt? I), A_1g, is calculated to be 138.50 cm^?1 and the inharmonicity constant x₁₁ = 0.27 cm^?1. The characteristical feature in the UV/VIS spectra is caused by intensive π(N,X) → a_1g, b_1g(Pt) CT transitions.     

The Coordination Chemistry of the Ylide Adduct O2CC(PPh3)2; Preparation,Crystal Structures,and Spectroscopic Properties of [Cl3In{O2CC(PPh3)2}], [Cl2Sn{O2CC(PPh3)2}], and [I2In{O2CC(PPh3)2}2]I

The betain like carbodiphosphorane CO₂ adduct O₂CC(PPh₃)₂ ( 1a ) can serve as a ligand versus hard Lewis acids from main group compounds. Thus, reaction of 1a with InCl₃, InI₃ and SnCl₂ in polar solvents leads to the addition compounds [Cl₃In{O₂CC(PPh₃)₂}] ( 2 ), [Cl₂SnO₂CC(PPh₃)₂}] ( 3 ) and the salt like compound [I₂In{O₂CC(PPh₃)₂}₂]I ( 4 ) in good yields. Whereas in the indium compounds 1a acts as a chelating ligand, in the tin compound the molecule coordinates with one oxygen atom only as a monodentate ligand. 4 has a pyramidal structure with a stereochemical active pair of electrons. All compounds could be characterized by X‐ray analyses and the usual spectroscopic methods.     

Strukturelle Vielfalt im pseudo‐ternären System M/Ge/I: α‐[NMe(nBu)3](GeI4)I, β‐[NMe(nBu)3](GeI4)I und [ImMe(nBu)][N(nBu)4](GeI4)3I2

By reaction of GeI₄, [N(nBu)₄]I as iodide donor, and [NMe(nBu)₃][N(Tf)₂] as ionic liquid, reddish‐black, plate‐like shaped crystals are obtained. X‐ray diffraction analysis of single crystals resulted in the compositions ;alpha;‐[NMe(nBu)₃](GeI₄)I (Pbca; a = 1495.4(3) pm; b = 1940.6(4) pm; c = 3643.2(7) pm; Z = 16) and β‐[NMe(nBu)₃](GeI₄)I (Pn; a = 1141.5(2) pm; b = 953.6(2) pm; c = 1208.9(2) pm; β = 100.8(1)°; Z = 2). Depending on the reaction temperature, the one or other compound is formed selectively. In addition, the reaction of GeI₄ and [N(nBu)₄]I, using [ImMe(nBu)][BF₄] (Im = imidazole) as ionic liquid, resulted in the crystallization of [ImMe(nBu)][N(nBu)₄](GeI₄)₃I₂ (P2₁/c; a = 1641.2(3) pm; b = 1903.0(4) pm; c = 1867.7(4) pm; β = 92.0(1)°; Z = 4). The anionic network of all three compounds is established by molecular germanium(IV)iodide, which is bridged by iodide anions. The different connectivity of (GeI₄–I^–) networks is attributed to the flexibility of I^– regarding its coordination and bond length. Here, a [3+1]‐, 4‐ and 5‐fold coordination is first observed in the pseudo‐ternary system M/Ge/I (M: cation).     

Solution Synthesis,Structure, and CO2 Reduction Reactivity of a Scandium(II) Complex, {Sc[N(SiMe3)2]3}−

The first crystallographically characterizable complex of Sc²⁺, [Sc(NR₂)₃]⁻ (R=SiMe₃), has been obtained by LnA₃/M reactions (Ln=rare earth metal; A=anionic ligand; M=alkali metal) involving reduction of Sc(NR₂)₃ with K in the presence of 2.2.2‐cryptand (crypt) and 18‐crown‐6 (18‐c‐6) and with Cs in the presence of crypt. Dark maroon [K(crypt)]⁺, [K(18‐c‐6)]⁺, and [Cs(crypt)]⁺ salts of the [Sc(NR₂)₃]⁻ anion are formed, respectively. The formation of this oxidation state of Sc is also indicated by the eight‐line EPR spectra arising from the I =7/2 ⁴⁵Sc nucleus. The Sc(NR₂)₃ reduction differs from Ln(NR₂)₃ reactions (Ln=Y and lanthanides) in that it occurs under N₂ without formation of isolable reduced dinitrogen species. [K(18‐c‐6)][Sc(NR₂)₃] reacts with CO₂ to produce an oxalate complex, {K₂(18‐c‐6)₃}{[(R₂N)₃Sc]₂(μ‐C₂O₄‐κ ¹O:κ ¹O′′)}, and a CO₂⁻ radical anion complex, [(R₂N)₃Sc(μ‐OCO‐κ ¹O:κ ¹O′)K(18‐c‐6)]_n .

Synthesen und NMR‐Untersuchungen von Salzen mit den neuen Anionen [PtXn(CF3)6‐n]2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F,OH, Cl,CN) und die Kristallstrukturanalyse von K2[(CF3)2F2Pt(μ‐OH)2PtF2(CF3)2]·2H2O

Syntheses and NMR Spectroscopic Ivestigations of Salts containing the Novel Anions [PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n]^2— (n = 0 ‐ 5, X = F, OH, Cl, CN) and Crystal Structure of K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O The first syntheses of trifluoromethyl‐complexes of platinum through fluorination of cyanoplatinates are reported. The fluorination of tetracyanoplatinates(II), K₂[Pt(CN)₄], and hexacyanoplatinates(IV), K₂[Pt(CN)₆], with ClF in anhydrous HF leads after working up of the products to K₂[(CF₃)₂F₂Pt(μ‐OH)₂PtF₂(CF₃)₂]·2H₂O. The structure of the salt is determined by a X‐ray structure analysis, P2₁/c (Nr. 14), a = 11.391(2), b = 11.565(2), c = 13.391(3)Å, β = 90.32(3)°, Z = 4, R₁ = 0.0326 (I > 2σ(I)). The reaction of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₄] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ generates mainly cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₂(CF₃)₄] and fac‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtCl₃(CF₃)₃], but in contrast that of [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CN)₆] with ClF in CH₂Cl₂ results cis‐[Bu₄N]₂[PtX₂(CF₃)₄], [Bu₄N]₂[PtX(CF₃)₅] (X = F, Cl) and [Bu₄N]₂[Pt(CF₃)₆]. In the products [Bu₄N]₂[PtX_n(CF₃)_6‐n] (X = F, Cl, n = 0—3) it is possibel to exchange the fluoro‐ligands into chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands by treatment with (CH₃)₃SiCl und (CH₃)₃SiCN at 50 °C. With continuing warming the trifluoromethyl‐ligands are exchanged by chloro‐ and cyano‐ligands, while as intermediates CF₂Cl and CF₂CN ligands are formed. The identity of the new trifluoromethyl‐platinates is proved by ¹⁹⁵Pt‐ and ¹⁹F‐NMR‐spectroscopy.

Their spectroscopic data indicate that the addition of the cations occurs at the sulphur atom to give end‐to‐end thiocarbonyl bridged complexes [HB(pz)₃(OC)₂MCSM′L_n].     

Structural and Spectroscopic Studies of Halocuprate(I) and Haloargentate(I) Complexes [M2XnX′4−n]2−

The complexes [Cu₂Br₄]^2?, [Cu₂I₄]^2?, [Cu₂I₂Br₂]^2?, [Cu₂I₃Cl]^2?, [Ag₂Cl₄]^2? have been characterized as their isomorphous bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium ([Ph₃PNPPh₃]⁺ = PNP⁺) salts by single crystal structural determinations. All anions show the centrosymmetric doubly halogen‐bridged forms [XM(μ‐X)₂MX]^2? with three‐coordinate metal atoms that have been observed in [M₂X₄]^2? complexes with other large organic cations. In [Cu₂I₂Br₂]^2? the iodide ligands occupy the bridging positions and the bromide the terminal positions, while in [Cu₂I₃Cl]^2?, obtained in an attempt to prepare [Cu₂I₂Cl₂]^2?, two of the iodide ligands occupy the bridging positions with the third iodide and the chloride ligand occupying two statistically disordered terminal positions. In [Ag₂Cl₄]^2? the distortion from ideal trigonal coordination of the metal atom is greater than in the copper complexes, but less than in other previously reported [Ag₂Cl₄]^2? complexes with organic cations. The ν(MX) bands have been assigned in the far‐IR spectra, and confirm previous observations regarding the unexpectedly simple IR spectra of [Cu₂X₄]^2? complexes.     

Synthesis of ylideplatinum(II) complexes via α-functionalised alkylplatinum(II) intermediates and some comparative data on palladium(II) complexes; X-ray structure of trans-[Pt(CH2PEt3)I(PEt3)2]I

The reaction of [Pt(PEt₃)₃] with CH₂I₂ affords trans-[Pt(CH₂PEt₃)I(PEt₃)₂]I and is believed to proceed via the α-functionalised alkyl cis-[Pt(CH₂I)I(PEt₃)₂], because similar ylides are obtained from cis- or trans-[PT(CH₂X)(PPh₃)₂X] (XCl, Br, or I) with PR₃ (PEt₃, PBu₃ⁿ, PMePh₂, PEtPh₂, or PPh₃); cis-[Pd(CH₂I)-I(PPh₃)₂] does not react with excess PPh₃, but with PEt₃ yields trans-[Pd(CH₂PEt₃)I(PPh₃)₂]I; the X-ray structure of trans-[Pt(CH₂PEt₃)I(PEt₃)₂]I (current R = 0.045) shows PtP(1) 2.332(7), PtP(2) 2.341(8), PtC 2.08(2), and PtI 2.666(2) Å, and angles (a) C(1)PtI, P(1), P(2): 176.9(8), 91.6(6), 93.4(6), (b) IPtP(1), P(2): 87.1(2), 88.5(2), and (c) P(1)P(2), 166.8(3), and (d) PtC(1)P(3), 118(1)°.
