Synthesis,NMR spectroscopic characterization and structure of a divinyldisilazane‐(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) complex: observation of isotope‐induced chemical shifts 1Δ12/13C(195Pt)

Tetramethyldivinyldisilazane‐(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) was prepared, characterized in solid state by X‐ray crystallography and in solution by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ²⁹Si, ³¹P and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR). Numerous signs of spin–spin coupling constants were determined by two‐dimensional heteronuclear shift correlations (HETCOR) and two‐dimensional ¹H/¹H COSY experiments. Isotope‐induced chemical shifts ¹Δ^12/13C(¹⁹⁵Pt) were measured from ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectra of the title compound as well as of other Pt(0), Pt(II) and Pt(IV) compounds for comparison. In contrast to other heavy nuclei such as ¹⁹⁹Hg or ²⁰⁷Pb, the “normal” shifts of the heavy isotopomers to low frequencies are found, covering a range of >500 ppb.

Prediction of 195Pt NMR chemical shifts of dissolution products of H2[Pt(OH)6] in nitric acid solutions by DFT methods: how important are the counter‐ion effects?

¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of octahedral Pt(IV) complexes with general formula [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2?, [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} (n = 1–6), and [Pt(NO₃)_{6 ? n ? m}(OH)_m(OH₂)_n]^{?2 + n ? m} formed by dissolution of platinic acid, H₂[Pt(OH)₆], in aqueous nitric acid solutions are calculated employing density functional theory methods. Particularly, the gauge‐including atomic orbitals (GIAO)‐PBE0/segmented all‐electron relativistically contracted–zeroth‐order regular approximation (SARC–ZORA)(Pt) ∪ 6–31G(d,p)(E)/Polarizable Continuum Model computational protocol performs the best. Excellent second‐order polynomial plots of δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) versus δ_exptl(¹⁹⁵Pt) chemical shifts and δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) versus the natural atomic charge Q_Pt are obtained. Despite of neglecting relativistic and spin orbit effects the good agreement of the calculated δ ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts with experimental values is probably because of the fact that the contribution of relativistic and spin orbit effects to computed σ^{iso 195}Pt magnetic shielding of Pt(IV) coordination compounds is effectively cancelled in the computed δ ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts, because the relativistic corrections are expected to be similar in the complexes and the proper reference standard used. To probe the counter‐ion effects on the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the anionic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2? and cationic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} (n = 0–3) complexes we calculated the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the neutral (PyH)₂[Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}] (n = 1–6; PyH = pyridinium cation, C₅H₅NH⁺) and [Pt(NO₃)_n(H₂O)_{6 ? n}](NO₃)_{4 ? n} (n = 0–3) complexes. Counter‐anion effects are very important for the accurate prediction of the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the cationic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} complexes, while counter‐cation effects are less important for the anionic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2? complexes. The simple computational protocol is easily implemented even by synthetic chemists in platinum coordination chemistry that dispose limited software availability, or locally existing routines and knowhow.

[Pt(topy)(Htopy)(ONO2)] complex (Htopy = 2‐p‐tolylpyridine) and its analogs: 195Pt NMR spectra and fabrication of light‐emitting devices

We report fast, high‐yield syntheses of a series of [Pt(C^∧N)(HC^∧N)X] complexes, where HC^∧N is 2‐phenylpyridine (Hppy) or 2‐p‐tolylpyridine (Htopy) and X^? is Cl^?, Br^?, I^?, ONO₂^?, NO₂^? or SCN^?. The structure of [Pt(topy)(Htopy)(ONO₂)] was analyzed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Substitution of Cl^? with Br^? or I^? in our complexes shifted the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR peaks upfield in the order Cl^? < Br^? < I^?, but the magnitudes of their shifts were one‐tenth those observed for non‐cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes. As the two nitrato complexes showed strong emissions in acetonitrile solution—three to six times those of other complexes—they were used to fabricate OLEDs. Although their emissions were not particularly strong, devices fabricated with platinum(II) complexes containing bulky ligands emitted green light with a short lifetime (τ).

Assignment of the E,Z configurational isomers of platinum complexes of N,N‐dialkyl‐N′‐acyl(aroyl)thioureas by means of triple resonance 1H/13C/195Pt PFG correlation NMR spectroscopy

Unsymmetrical, dialkyl‐substituted N,N‐dialkyl‐N^′‐acyl(aroyl)thioureas show E,Z configurational isomerism at room temperature in solution, which is also expressed in the existence of cis‐[Pt(ZZ‐L‐S,O)₂], cis‐[Pt(EZ‐L‐S,O)₂] and cis‐[Pt(EE‐L‐S,O)₂] complexes derived from these ligands. These configurational isomers were assigned by means of a double magnetization transfer ¹H/¹³C/¹⁹⁵Pt correlation NMR experiment, despite the fact that the long‐range ⁵J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹H) and ⁴J(¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹³C) scalar couplings are not directly observable in their ¹H and ¹³C spectra at high field. Depending on the ligand structure, the relative amounts of cis‐[Pt(ZZ‐L‐S,O)₂], cis‐[Pt(EZ‐L‐S,O)₂] and cis‐[Pt(EE‐L‐S,O)₂] complexes are in the ranges 40–42% ZZ, 46–47% ZE and 12–13% EE. The cis‐bis[N‐methyl‐N‐(tert‐butyl)‐N^′‐(2,2‐dimethylpropanoyl)thioureato]platinum(II) complex is found to occur exclusively as the ZZ isomer. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H, 13C, 15N and 195Pt NMR studies of Au(III) and Pt(II) chloride organometallics with 2‐phenylpyridine

¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR studies of gold(III) and platinum(II) chloride organometallics with N(1),C(2′)‐chelated, deprotonated 2‐phenylpyridine (2ppy*) of the formulae [Au(2ppy*)Cl₂], trans(N,N)‐[Pt(2ppy*)(2ppy)Cl] and trans(S,N)‐[Pt(2ppy*)(DMSO‐d₆)Cl] (formed in situ upon dissolving [Pt(2ppy*)(µ‐Cl)]₂ in DMSO‐d₆) were performed. All signals were unambiguously assigned by HMBC/HSQC methods and the respective ¹H, ¹³C and ¹⁵N coordination shifts (i.e. differences between chemical shifts of the same atom in the complex and ligand molecules: Δ^1H_coord = δ^1H_complex ? δ^1H_ligand, Δ^13C_coord = δ^13C_complex ? δ^13C_ligand, Δ^15N_coord = δ^15N_complex ? δ^15N_ligand), as well as ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts and ¹H‐¹⁹⁵Pt coupling constants discussed in relation to the known molecular structures. Characteristic deshielding of nitrogen‐adjacent H(6) protons and metallated C(2′) atoms as well as significant shielding of coordinated N(1) nitrogens is discussed in respect to a large set of literature NMR data available for related cyclometallated compounds.

Highly Stable Water‐Soluble Platinum Nanoparticles Stabilized by Hydrophilic N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes

Controlling the synthesis of stable metal nanoparticles in water is a current challenge in nanochemistry. The strategy presented herein uses sulfonated N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands to stabilize platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) in water, under air, for an indefinite time period. The particles were prepared by thermal decomposition of a preformed molecular Pt complex containing the NHC ligand and were then purified by dialysis and characterized by TEM, high‐resolution TEM, and spectroscopic techniques. Solid‐state NMR studies showed coordination of the carbene ligands to the nanoparticle surface and allowed the determination of a ¹³C–¹⁹⁵Pt coupling constant for the first time in a nanosystem (940 Hz). Additionally, in one case a novel structure was formed in which platinum(II) NHC complexes form a second coordination sphere around the nanoparticle.

Synthesis of Ethylene‐bridged Heterocyclic Bidentate P(III)N‐Ligands — Oxidation and Complexation Studies

A series of phosphor(III)inanone ligands 4‐7 , linked by ethylene bridges between the nitrogen atoms of the heterocyclic rings, were synthesized by the reaction of the bis‐PCl derivative 3 with the appropriate trimethylsilylamines. The bis‐phosphor(V)inanone compounds 8‐11 were obtained by the oxidation of 4‐7 with hexafluoroacetone (HFA). Oxidation of 4 and 6 with tetrachloro‐orthobenzoquinone (TOB) gave the bis‐phosphor(V)inanones 12 and 13 . The reaction of 4‐6 with [Pt(COD)Cl₂] led to the platinum complexes 14‐16 . All the σ³‐phosphorinanone compounds 4‐7 and the σ⁵‐phosphorinanone compounds 8‐10 , 12 and 13 exist as a mixture of two conformers, as indicated by two signals in the ³¹P‐NMR spectra. However, compounds 9 and 11 exist as single conformers, both display only one sharp singlet in the ³¹P‐NMR spectra. The Pt‐complexes 15 and 16 contain two conformers; one conformer of 16 could be isolated by crystallization. X‐ray crystal structure determinations for compounds 8 , 14 and 16 were conducted, revealing inversion symmetry for 8 and cis arrangement for 14 and 16 .

The Formation of [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PR₃)₂] from (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ and [η²‐{C₂H₄}Pt(PR₃)₂] (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P = P(Me)^tBu₂ reacts with [η²‐{C₂H₄}Pt(PR₃)₂] yielding [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PR₃)₂]. However, there is no indication for an isomer which would be the analogue to the well known [η²‐{^tBu₂P–P}Pt(PPh₃)₂]. The syntheses and NMR data of [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PPh₃)₂] and [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PMe₃)₂] as well as the results of the single crystal structure determination of [η²‐{^tBu–P=P–SiMe₃}Pt(PPh₃)₂] are reported.     

Diselenastanna‐, ‐sila‐ and ‐carbacycles with an annelated dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane(12) unit

The reactions of the 1,2‐diselenolato‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane(12) dianion 1 with diorganoelement(IV) dichlorides (Ph₂CCl₂, Me₂SiCl₂, Ph₂SiCl₂, Me₂SnCl₂, Ph₂SnCl₂) gave novel five‐member heterocycles along with other products. The molecular structures of the five‐member rings containing CPh₂ ( 2 ) and SnPh₂ ( 9 ) moieties between the selenium atoms were determined by X‐ray analyses. In the case of the chlorosilanes, the analogous five‐member ring containing the SiPh₂ unit ( 4 ) could be identified in mixtures. The expected reaction was accompanied by rearrangement leading to formation of another five‐member ring 6 containing the Ph₂Si? Se? Se moiety. Oxidative addition of the five‐member heterocycles containing tin ( 7, 9 ) to ethene‐bis(triphenylphosphane)platinum(0) gave at low temperature the bis(triphenylphosphane)platinum(II) complexes 12 and 13 , where the Pt(PPh₃)₂ fragment had been inserted into one of the Sn? Se bonds. Extensive decomposition of these complexes was observed above ? 20 °C. The proposed solution‐state structures of the new compounds are supported by multinuclear magnetic resonance data (¹H, ¹¹B, ¹³C, ²⁹Si, ³¹P, ⁷⁷Se, ¹¹⁹Sn and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR).

Darstellung,Kristallstrukturen, Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von cis‐ und trans‐(n‐Bu4N)2[PtF2(ox)2] und (n‐Bu4N)2[PtF4(ox)]

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Vibrational Spectra, and Normal Coordinate Analysis of cis‐ and trans‐(n‐Bu₄N)₂[PtF₂(ox)₂] and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[PtF₄(ox)] By treatment of trans‐(n‐Bu₄N)₂[PtCl₂(ox)₂] and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[PtCl₄(ox)] with XeF₂ in propylene carbonate cis‐ and trans‐(n‐Bu₄N)₂[PtF₂(ox)₂] ( 1 , 2 ) and (n‐Bu₄N)₂[PtF₄(ox)] ( 3 ) are formed which have been isolated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The crystal structure of trans(n‐Bu₄N)₂[PtF₂(ox)₂] ( 2 ) (tetragonal, space group P4₂/n, a = 15.5489(9), b = 15.5489(9), c = 17.835(1)Å, Z = 4) und Cs₂[PtF₄(ox)] ( 3 ) (monoclinic, space group C2/m, a = 14.5261(7), b = 6.2719(4), c = 9.6966(9)Å, β = 90.216(8)°, Z = 4) reveal complex anions with nearly D_2h and C_2v point symmetry. The average bond lengths in the symmetrical coordinated axes are Pt—F = 1.93 ( 2 , 3 ) and Pt—O = 1.987 ( 2 ) and in the F^•—Pt—O′‐axes Pt—F^• = 1.957 and Pt—O′ = 1.977Å ( 3 ). The oxalato ligands are nearly planar with a maximum displacement of the ring atoms of 0.05 ( 2 ) und 0.01Å ( 3 ) to the calculated best planes. In the vibrational spectra the symmetric and antisymmetric PtF stretching vibrations are observed at 583 and 586 ( 2 ) and 576 and 568 cm^—1 ( 3 ). The PtF^• modes appear at 565 and 562 ( 1 ) and 560 cm^—1 ( 3 ). The PtO and PtO′ stretching vibrations are coupled with internal modes of the oxalato ligands and appear in the range of 400—800 cm^—1. Based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determinations ( 2 , 3 ) and estimated data ( 1 ) the IR and Raman spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are f_d(PtF) = 3.55 ( 2 ) and 3.38 ( 3 ), f_d(PtF^•) = 3.23 ( 1 ) and 3.20 ( 3 ), f_d(PtO) = 2.65 ( 1 ) and 2.84 ( 2 ) and f_d(PtO′) = 2.97 ( 1 ) and 3.00 mdyn/Å ( 3 ). Taking into account increments of the trans influence a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved. The NMR shifts are δ(¹⁹⁵Pt) = 8485 ( 1 ), 8597 ( 2 ) and 10048 ppm ( 3 ), δ(¹⁹F) = —350 ( 2 ) and —352 ( 3 ) and δ(¹⁹F^•) = —323 ( 1 ) and —326 ppm ( 3 ) with the coupling constants ¹J(PtF) = 1784 ( 2 ) and 1864 ( 3 ) and ¹J(PtF^•) = 1525 ( 1 ) and 1638 Hz ( 3 ).     

Highly active catalysts: Double‐shelled hollow nanospheres with tiny Pt NPs

A facile strategy was reported to fabricate a novel Pt‐based metal oxide double‐shelled hollow nanospheres (MDSHs), which avoided the traditional tedious procedures. It was attractive that the formation mechanism of DSHs involved redeposition of etch‐released silica species and self‐assembly of metal oxide units. To verify the successful synthesis and structure features of Pt‐LCDSHs catalyst, the as‐prepared samples were characterized by several techniques, such as SEM, N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherm analysis, TEM, EDX, XRD and XPS. Results indicated that all of MDSHs possessed double‐shelled structures with both the inner and outer shells composing of metal oxide units. Interestingly, the metal oxide of the DHSs could offer abundant active points for Pt NPs and the space between the double shells also could be filled with Pt NPs. What's more, compared with the pure samples, the Pt‐embedded La₂O₃‐CeO₂‐DSHs exhibited the highest catalytic performance (6.58 × 10^?3 min^?1) and good reusability with a conversion of 94% even after eight cycles, which were evaluated by means of the reduction of 4‐nitrophenol monitored by UV–vis spectra. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism for the reduction reaction on Pt‐based La₂O₃‐CeO₂‐DSHs was also proposed.
