The platinum—carbon bond strength in Pt(PPh3)2(Cl)(CPhCHPh)

The enthalpies of the reactions 1 and 2 have been determined as ΔH = Pt(PPh₃)₂(CPhCPh)_cryst. + HCl_g → Pt(PPh₃)₂(Cl)(CPhCHPh)_cryst. (1) Pt(PPh₃)₂(CPhCPh)_cryst. + 2HCl_g → cis-Pt(PPh₃)₂Cl_2cryst. + trans-CHPhCHPh_g (2) ?90.2 ± 6 and ΔH = ?139.0 ± 16 kJ mol^?1, respectively; dissociation energies of bonds involving platinum are expressed by the relationship: 41 kJ mol^?1 + D(Pt-tolane) = 2D(PtCPhCHPh) = {D₁(PtCl) + D₂(PtCl)} ?350 kJ mol^?1     

Platinum(0) complexes of 3-arylthiete 1,1-dioxides

3-Phenyl- and 3-p-bromophenyl-thiete 1,1-dioxides react with [Pt(trans-stilbene)(PPh₃)₂] and [Pt(AsPh₃)₄] to give the complexes [Pt($\text{CHCrCH}{}_2\text{S}$O₂)(MPh₃)₂] (R  Ph, p-BrC₆H₄; M P, As).     

Strength of the PtCS2 bond in Pt(PPh3)2(CS2)

The enthalpy of the reaction: Pt(PPh₃)₂(CH₂CH₂)(cryst.) + CS₂(g) → Pt(PPh₃)₂(CS₂)(cryst.) + CH₂CH₂(g) has been determined as ΔH = ? 4.40 ± 2.2 kJ mol^?1 from solution calorimetry, and the bond dissociation energy D(PtCS₂) shown to be slightly greater than D(PtC₂H₄).     

Metal catalysed Brooke rearrangement of 3-Halo-1-(trimethylsilyl) propan-2-one (Halo = Cl or Br)

The complexes [IrH(CO)(PPh₃)₃], trans-[IrCI(CO)- (PPh₃)₂], [RhH(PPh₃)₄], [Pd(PPh₃)₄], [Pt(trans-stilbene)(PPh₃)₂] and [Pt(η³-CH₂-COCH₂)-(PPh₃)₂] catalyse the rearrangement of Me₃SiCH₂C(O)CH₂Cl to CH₂?C(OSiMe₃)-CH₂Cl.     

Oxidative addition reactions of carbon diselenide and areneselenols to some iridium(I) and platinum(0) complexes

Reaction of carbon diselenide in 3 to 1 molar ratio, and areneselenols in equimolar ratio, with trans-IrCl(CO)(PPPh₃)₂ and PtL₄, gives oxidative addition products, IrCl(CO)CSe₂)(PPh₃)₂, Pt(CSe₂)L₂, IrHCl(CO)(SeC₆H₄Me-p)(PPh₃)₂, and PtH(SeR)L₂, respectively (R = Ph and p-MeC₆H₄; L = PPh₃ and PPh₂Me). However, reactions of PtL₄ with an excess of areneselenols afford bis(arylselenide) complexes Pt(SeR)₂L₂. The configurations of these complexes are discussed on the basis of their IR and PMR spectra. The carbon diselenide adducts are suggested to have configurations similar to the corresponding carbon disulfide adducts. The platinum hydrides are found to exist as a mixture of cis and trans isomers in solution, both the isomers being labile with regard to dissociative exchange of the tertiary phosphine ligands. The trans configurations of Pt(SeR)₂(PPh₂Me)₂ are unambiguously shown by the virtually coupled triplet pattern of the PPh₂Me signals.     

Side-bonded ketone complexes of platinum(0). Alloxan and diethyl oxomalonate complexes and reactions of platinum(0) complexes with isatin and benzoyl cyanide.

Reactions of alloxan (all) with [PtL(PPh₃)₂] (L′= $\text{trans}$-stilbene, L″ diphenylacetylene) afford the side-bonded ketone complex [Pt(all)(PPh₃)₂] which may also be obtained from the hydrate of alloxan and [PtL′(Pph₃)₂]. Similarly diethyl oxomalonate (dio) and [Pt(PPh₃)₄] afford a side-bonded ketone complex [Pt(dio)(PPh₃)₂]. Reaction of isatin with [Pt(PPh₃₄] gives $\text{trans}$-[PtH{$\text{NCO(}\text{o}\text{-C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{)CO}$}(PPh₃)₂] and benzoyl cyanide and [PtL′(PPh₃)₂] give $\text{cis}$-[Pt(CN)(COPh₃)₂] and $\text{trans}$-[Pt(CN)₂(PPh₂)₂].     

The platinumolefin bond strength in Pt(PPh3)2(η-3-phenylcyclobutene-1,2-dione)

The enthalpy, ΔH = ?64.7 ± 4 kJ mol^?1, for the reaction Pt(PPh₃)₂(η-C₂H₄)(s) + pcbd(g) → Pt(PPh₃)₂(η-pcbd)(s) + C₂H₄(g) where pcbd is 3-phenylcyclobutene-1,2-dione,

, has been measured calorimetrically. The Ptolefin bond in this complex is slightly stronger than that in Pt(PPh₃)₂(η-PhCHCH₂).     

Platinumolefin bond strength in Pt(PPh3)2(CH2CH2) and Pt(PPh3)2 {C(CN)2C(CN)2}

The enthalpy of the reaction: Pt(PPh₃)₂ (CH₂CH₂)(cryst.) + C(CN)₂C(CN)₂ (g) → Pt(PPh₃)₂ {C(CN)₂C(CN)₂}(cryst.) + CH₂ CH₂ (g) has been determined as ΔH₂₉₈=?155.8±8.0 kJ·mol^?1, from solution calorimetry. The interpretation, that the platinumethylene bond is much weaker than the platinumtetracyanoethylene bond, is contrary to conclusions drawn recently from electron emission spectroscopic studies, but in agreement with available structural data.     

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)°.     

First α-ketoacyl complex with planar s-cis oxalyl configuration. Crystal structure of trans-[Pt(COCOOMe)(OH2)(PPh3)2] (CF3SO3)

The abstraction of chloride from trans-Pt(COCOOMe)(Cl)(PPh₃)₂ (1) by Ag(CF₃SO₃) yields methoxyoxalyl triflato complex trans-Pt(COCOOMe)(OTf)(PPh₃)₂ (2). Attempts to crystallize the triflato product in CH₂Cl₂/n-hexane under ambient conditions result in an cationic aquo complex, trans-[Pt(COCOOMe)(OH₂)₂](CF₃SO₃ (3). Its oxalyl carbonyls are disposed in an unprecedented nearly planar s-cis configuration in the solid-state structure.     

Acyl and α-Ketoacyl Complexes of Pt(II) with Weak Donor Ligands

Treatment of trans-Pt(COCOPh)(Cl)(PPh₃)₂ (1a) with AgBF₄in THF led to the formation of a metastatic complex trans-[Pt(COCOPh)(THF)(PPh₃)₂](BF₄) (2) which readily underwent ligand substitution to give a cationic aqua complex trans-[Pt(COCOPh)(OH₂)(PPh₃)₂](BF₄) (5a). Complex 5a has been characterized spectroscopically and crystallographically. Analogous reaction of trans-Pt(COCOOMe)(Cl)(PPh₃)₂ (1b) with Ag(CF₃SO₃) in dried CH₂C1₂ was found first to yield a methoxyoxalyl triflato complextrans-Pt(COCOOMe)(OTf)(PPh₃)₂ (6). Attempts to crystallize the triflato product in CH₂-cl₂hexane under ambient conditions also afforded an aqua complex of the triflate salt f/wu-[Pt(COCOOMe)(OH₂)(PPhj)₂](CF₃SO₃) (5b). Complex 5a in a noncoordinating solvent such as CH₂C1₂ or CHCl₃ suffered spontaneous decarbonylation to form first cis-[Pt(COPh)(CO)(PPh₃)₂l(BF₄) (3a) then the thermodynamically stable isomer trans-[Pt(COPh)(CO)(PPh₃)₂](BF₄) (3b). Crystallization of complex 3b under ambient conditions resulted in an aqua benzoyl complex trans-[Pt(COPh)(OH₂)(PPh₃)₂](BF₄) (7). The replacement of the H_2O ligand in complex 7 by CO was done simply by bubbling CO into the solution of 7. The single crystal structures of 5b and 7 have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The distances of the Pt-O bonds in 5a, 5b, and 7 support that the aqua ligand is a weak donor in such cationic aquaorganoplatinum(lI) complexes, in agreement with their lability to the substitution reactions.     

Synthesis and redistribution reactions of asymmetric σ-arylplatinum(II) complexes containing 4,7-phenanthroline

The mononuclear σ-aryl complexes of the type trans-[Pt(σ-C₆H₄R)(4,7-phen)(PPh₃)₂]OTf (R=4-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂, 4-CONHMe, 3-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂, 3-CONHMe; OTf=trifluoromethanesulfonate) containing a monodentate 4,7-phenanthroline (4,7-phen) ligand were prepared by an oxidative addition reaction of an aryl iodide with Pt(PPh₃)₄ to yield the key iodoplatinum(II) precursors trans-[PtI(σ-C₆H₄R)(PPh₃)₂], followed by halogen metathesis with one equivalent of 4,7-phen. The reaction of trans-[Pt(σ-C₆H₄R)(4,7-phen)(PPh₃)₂]OTf with labile complexes of the type trans-[Pt(OTf)L₂(σ-C₆H₄R′)] (L=PEt₃, R′=H; L=PPh₃, R′=4-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂, 3-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂, 3-CONHMe) afforded the asymmetric dinuclear complexes of the type trans-[Pt(σ-C₆H₄R)L₂(μ-4,7-phen)Pt(σ-C₆H₄R′)L′₂](OTf) ₂ (L=PPh₃, R=4-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂, L′=PEt₃, R′=H; L=L′=PPh₃, R=4-CONHMe, R′=4-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂; R=4-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂, R′=3-CONHMe; R=3-CONHMe, R′=3-CO₂Si^tBuPh₂) in which the 4,7-phen acts as a bridging bidentate ligand. The novel dinuclear species undergo an unusual redistribution reaction that is essentially thermoneutral at 298 K. The exchange process involves facile cleavage of a Pt-N bond and the rapid exchange of trans-[PtL₂(σ-aryl)] units in the equilibrium mixture.     

Haloalkyl complexes of the transition metals: IV. The formation of a cationic ylide complex of platinum(II) from a chloromethylplatinum(II) complex and the crystal structures of cis-[Pt(CH2PPh3)X(PPh3)2]I (X = Cl or I)

The reactions of Pt(PPH₃)₄ and Pt(C₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂ with CH₂ClI have been investigated. The product of the reaction of Pt(PPh₃)₄ with CH₂ClI is the cationic ylide complex cis-[Pt(CH₂PPh₃)Cl(PPh₃)2][I], whereas the reaction of Pt(C₂H₄)-(PPh₃)₂ gives the oxidative addition product Pt(CH₂Cl)I(PPh₃)₂. Reaction of cis- or trans-Pt(CH₂Cl)I(PPh₃)₂] with PPh₃ gives the complex cis-[Pt(CH₂PPh₃)-Cl(PPh₃)₂][I]. The structures of the complexes cis-[Pt(CH₂PPh₃X(PPh₃)₂][I] (where X = Cl or I) have been determined by X-ray crystallography. Both complexes crystalize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. For X = Cl a 1388.6(7), b 2026.7(10), c 1823.9(9) pm, β 96.51(2)° and R converged to 0.075 for 3542 observed reflections; structural parameters Pt-Cl 240(1), Pt-C(3) 212(2), Pt-P(2) (trans to Cl) 235(1) and Pt-P(1) (trans to CH₂PPh₃) 233(1) pm; Cl-Pt-C(3) 86.9(5), C(3)-Pt-P(2) 91.8(5), P(2)-Pt-P(1) 97.0(2) and P(1)-Pt-Cl 85.1(2)°. For X = I, a 1379.4(7), b 2044.4(10), c 1840.0(9) pm, β 96.09(2)° and R converged to 0.071 for 4333 observed reflections; structural parameters Pt-I 266(1), Pt-C(3) 212(2), Pt-P(2) (trans to I) 226(1) and Pt-P(1) (trans to CH₂PPh₃ 233(1) pm; I-Pt-C(3) 87.2(5), C(3)-Pt-P(2) 91.5(5), P(2)-Pt-P(1) 96.5(2) and P(1)-Pt-I 85.6(1)°. Some other complexes of the type cis-[Pt(CH₂PPh₃)X(PPh₃)₂]Y are also described.     

Organoplumbio complexes of platinum(II)

The complex [Pt(C₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂] reacts with Pb₂Ph₆ to give cis-[PtPh(Pb₂Ph₅)(PPh₃)₂]; this decomposes in solution to cis-[PtPh(PbPh₃)(PPh₃)₂], which may also be obtained from the ethylene complex and PbPh₄. Lead compounds PbPhMe₃ and PbPh₃Br also give products of insertion into PbPh bonds, but PbMe₃Cl gives cis- and trans-[PtCl(PbMe₃)(PPh₃)₂]. The complex trans-[Pt(PbPh₃)₂(PEt₃)₂] reacts with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (DPPE) to give [Pt(PbPh₃)₂(DPPE)] which readily decomposes in dichloromethane in presence of PEt₃ to give [Pt(PbPh₃)(PEt₃)(DPPE)]Cl and [PtPh(PEt₃)(DPPE)]Cl. The complex trans-[PtCl(PbPh₃)(PEt₃)₂] was detected in the products of reactions between trans-[PtCl₂(PEt₃)₂] and trans-[Pt(PbPh₃)₂(PEt₃)₂] or less than 2 moles of LiPbPh₃; it was not detected in the mixture after treatment of trans -[Pt(PbPh₃)₂(PEt₃)₂] with HCl. In contrast to an earlier report, we were unable to detect lead-containing complexes in the products of the reaction between trans-[PtHCl(PPh₃)₂] and Ph₃PbNO₃. The complexes and their decomposition products were identified by ^pre31P-{¹H} NMR spectroscopy.     

Pseudohalogenometallverbindungen: LVIII. Reaktionen von diphenylphosphorylazid und perfluor-n-hexylsulfonylazid mit triphenylphosphan-komplexen von platin(0), rhodium(I), iridium(I), ruthenium(0), kobalt(II) und kupfer(I)

Diphenylphosphorylazide N₃P(O)(OPh)₂ reacts with Pt(PPh₃)₃, Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄), trans-RhCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, Ru(CO)₃(PPh₃)₂, CoCl₂(PPh₃)₂ and CuCl(PPh₃)₂ to give the azido complexes Pt(PPh₃)₂(N₃)R, Pt(PPh₃)₂(N₃)₂R₂, the urylene complex RhCl(PPh₃)₂(RNCONR) and the phosphine imine complexes Ru(CO)₃(RPPh₃)₂, CoCl₂(RNPPh₃)₂, CuCl(RNPPh₃)₂, respectively, (RP(O)(OPh)₂). The oxidative addition of n-C₆F₁₃SO₂N₃ to Pt(PPh₃)₄ and Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄) affords the complexes Pt(PPh₃)₂(N₃)R and Pt(PPh₃)₂(N₃)₂R₂, respectively, (RSO₂C₆F₁₃. The compounds are characterized by elemental analysis and by their IR spectra.     

Trifluoromethylselenato(0) and trifluoromethyltellurato(0) complexes of platinum(II)

The series of cis/trans-trifluoromethylselenato complexes [Pt(SeCF₃)_2 − xCl_x(PPh₃)₂] (x = 0, 1) was identified by NMR spectroscopic methods. While in acetonitrile solution spectra are dominated by the resonances of the cis derivatives, those of pure cis-[Pt(SeCF₃)₂(PPh₃)₂] indicate cis-trans-isomerisation in CH₂Cl₂ solution. In contrast, exchange reactions of cis-[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] and [NMe₄]TeCF₃ only gave evidence for cis isomers. Molecular structures of cis- and trans-[Pt(SeCF₃)₂(PPh₃)₂] and cis-[Pt(TeCF₃)₂(PPh₃)₂] are discussed in comparison with related compounds.     

Coordination,oligomerisation and transfer hydrogenation of acetylenes by some ruthenium and osmium carboxylates: Crystal and molecular structures of bis(trifluoroacetato)carbonyl-(methanol) bis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) and (1,4-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yn-2-yl)trifluoroacetato-(carbonyl) bis(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II)

The hydrides [MH(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] (M = Ru or Os) react with disubstituted acetylenes PhCCPh and PhCCMe to afford vinylic products [M{C(Ph)CHPh}(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] and [M{C(Ph)CHMe}(O₂CCF₃)(CO) (PPh₃)₂]/[M{C(Me)CHPh}(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] respectively. Acidolysis of these products with trifluoroacetic acid in cold ethanol liberates cis-stilbene and cis-PhHCCHMe respectively thus establishing the cis-stereochemistry of the vinylic ligands. The complexes [M(O₂CCF₃)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂] formed during the acidolysis step undergo facile alcoholysis followed by β-elimination of aldehyde to regenerate the parent hydrides [MH(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] and thereby complete a catalytic cycle for the transfer hydrogenation of acetylenes. The molecular structure of the methanol-adduct intermediate, [Ru(O₂CCF₃)₂(MeOH)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] has been determined by X-ray methods and shows that the coordinated methanol is involved in H-bonding with the monodentate trifluoroacetate ligand [MEO-H---OC(O)CF₃; O...O = 2.54 Å]. The hydrides [MH(O₂CCF₃)(CO) (PPh₃)₂]react with 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne to afford the complexes [M{C(CCPh)CHPh} (O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂]. The ruthenium product, which has also been obtained by treatment of [RuH(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] with phenylacetylene, has been shown by X-ray diffraction methods to contain a 1,4-diphenylbut-1-en-3-yn-2-yl ligand. The osmium complexes [Os(O₂CCF₃)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂], [OsH(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] and [Os{C(CCPh)CHPh}(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂] all serve as catalysts for the oligomerisation of phenylacetylene. Acetylene reacts with [Ru(O₂CCF₃)₂(CO)(PPh₃)₂] in ethanol to afford the vinyl complex [Ru(CHCH₂)(O₂CCF₃)(CO)(PPh₃)₂].     

Insertion of unactivated acetylenes into the metal-aryl bond of bis(triphenylphosphine)phenylbromonickel(II)

2-Butyne reacts stereospecifically with (PPh₃)₂Ni(Ph)(Br) in CH₃OH at room temperature, leading to the isolable vinyl complex trans-(PPh₃)₂-Ni(Br)[cis-C(CH₃)C(CH₃)(Ph)] in 70% yield. Carbonylation (CO/CH₃OH) of this material gives a 98% yield of cis-α,β-dimethylcinnamate. Reaction of the phenylnickel complex with 3-hexyne is more complicated; insertion again occurs, but the ultimate products of the reaction are phenyl-substituted styrenes and butadienes. Evidence is presented that free vinyl radicals are involved as intermediates in the 3-hexyne reaction.     

Reactivity of olefin an acetylene complexes of platinum(0) towards tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone

Tetracloro-o-benzoquinone reacts with (diphenylacetylene)bis(tirphenylphosphine)platinum(0) to give the novel platinum(II) diphenylacetylene complex, Pt(C₆Cl₄O₂)PhCCPh)(PPh₃), (I), which reacts with hydrogen halides to give the compelexes cis-PtX₂(PhCCPh((PPh₃), (X = Cl or Br). Hydrogen chloride also readily removes the tetrachloro-o-benzoquinoneligand from the adducts Ni(C₆Cl₄O₂)(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) and M(C₆Cl₄O₂)(PPh₃)₂, (M = Pd or Pt) but it has no reaction upon Ir(Cl)(C₆Cl₄O₂)(CO)(PPh₃)₂ at room temperature. The acetylene in (1) is susceptible to nucleophilic attact and reaction with diethylamine gives the vinyl adduct Pt(C₆Cl₄O₂)(CPhCPh)NHEt₂)(PPh₃). Other reactions of (I) have also been studied. Attemps to prepare other olefin or acetylene complexes of platinum(II) by the action of tetrachlor-o-benzoquinone on the complexes Pt(L)(PPh₃)₂, (L = PhCCH,(Et)(Me)(HO)CCCC(OH)(Me)(Et), HOCH₂OH, CF₃CCCF₃, CF₂CF₂, CF₂CH₂ or trans-PhCHCHPh) are also described.     

Synthetic and spectroscopic studies of some mono-hydrido-bridged complexes of platinum(II)

The mono-hydrido-bridged complexes (PEt₃)₂(Ar)Pt(μ₂-H)Pt(Ar)(PEt₃)₂]-[BPh₄] (Ar = Ph, 4-MeC₆H₄ and 2,4-Me₂C₆H₃) have been obtained by treating trans-[Pt(Ar)(MeOH)(PEt₃)₂][BF₄] with sodium formate and Na[BPH₄]. The cations [PEt₃)₂(Ar)Pt(μ₂-H)Pt(Ar^b')(PEt₃)₂]^b+ (Ar = Ph and Ar^b' - 2,4-Me₂C₆H₃ and 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂ have bee identified in solution. Their ^b1H- and ^b31P-NMR data are reported. The X-ray crystal structure of [(PEt₃)₂(Ph)Pt(μ₂-H)Pt(Ph)(PEt₃)₂][BPh₄] is reported.
