Mixed dimethyl sulfoxide-thiocarbamic ester complexes of platinum(II) halides

Summary The platinum(II) halidecis-[Pt(DMTC)(DMSO)X₂] andcis-[Pt(DETC)(DMSO)X₂](X=Cl or Br; DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide; DMTC=EtOSCN-Me₂; DETC=EtOSCNEt₂) adducts and the platinum(II) and palladium(II) halide adducts,trans-[M(DETC)₂X₂] (M=Pt or Pd; X=Cl or Br), have been prepared. The complexes were characterized by i.r., and¹H and¹³Cn.m.r. spectroscopy. Both DMTC and DETC coordinate through the sulphur atoms. The 1:2 DETC complexes present the usualtrans configuration, whereas the presence of DMSO favourscis geometry in the mixed species.     

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.     

Five-coordinate hydrido / olefin platinum(II) complexes

Stable five-coordinate hydrido / olefin complexes of general formula [Pt(2,9-Me₂-1,10-phenanthroline)H(Cl)(olefin)] have been synthesized in high yield through oxidative addition of HCl to [Pt(2,9-Me₂-1,10-phenanthroline)(olefin)] precursors. Relevant spectroscopic features and some preliminary results concerning the reactivity of the new compounds are also reported.     

Spectral,crystallographic, theoretical and antibacterial studies of palladium(II)/platinum(II) complexes with unsymmetric diphosphine ylides

The reaction of α‐keto‐stabilized diphosphine ylides [Ph₂P(CH₂)_nPPh₂═C(H)C(O)C₆H₄‐p‐CN] (n = 1 (Y¹); n = 2 (Y²)) with dibromo(1,5‐cyclooctadiene) palladium(II)/platinum(II) complexes, [Pd/PtBr₂(cod)], in equimolar ratio gave the new cyclometalated Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes [Br₂Pd(κ²‐Y¹)] ( 1 ), [Br₂Pt(κ²‐Y¹)] ( 2 ), [Br₂Pd(κ²‐Y²)] ( 3 ) and [Br₂Pt(κ²‐Y²)] ( 4 ). These compounds were screened in a search for novel antibacterial agents and characterized successfully using Fourier transfer infrared and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P) spectroscopic methods. Also, the structures of complexes 1 and 2 were characterized using X‐ray crystallography. The results showed that the P,C‐chelated complexes 1 and 2 have structures consisting of five‐membered rings, while 3 and 4 have six‐membered rings, formed by coordination of the ligand through the phosphine group and the ylidic carbon atom to the metal centre. Also, a theoretical study of the structures of complexes 1 – 4 was conducted at the BP86/def2‐SVP level of theory. The nature of metal–ligand bonds in the complexes was investigated using energy decomposition analyses (EDA) and extended transition state combined with natural orbitals for chemical valence analyses. The results of EDA confirmed that the main portions of ΔE_int, about 57–58%, in the complexes are allocated to ΔE_elstat.     

Mixed ligand complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II) with methionine and 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines

Summary Mixed ligand complexes ofcis-[M(MetH)Cl₂] (M=Pd²⁺ and Pt²⁺; MetH=methionine) with 2,4-disubstituted pyrimidines were prepared and characterised. Thecis-[Pd(MetH)Cl₂] complex reacted with cytosine (2-hydroxy-4-aminopyrimidine), isocytosine (2-amino-4-hydroxypyrimidine) and thiocytosine (2-thio-4-amino-pyrimidine) to form ternary complexes.cis-[Pt(MetH)Cl₂] however reacted with cytosine, uracil (2,4-pyrimidine dione or 2,4-dihydroxypyrimidine) to yield the corresponding mixed ligand complexes. The primary ligand, methionine, binds to the metal ion through sulphur and amino nitrogenvia a six membered chelate ring. The secondary ligands (substituted pyrimidines) bind to the Pd²⁺ or Pt²⁺ metal ion through the ring nitrogen (N₃), as monodentate ligand. Thiocytosine however acts as a bidentate ligand, coordinating to the metal ion through-SH and ring nitrogen (N₃). All complexes are 11 electrolytes, except the thiocytosine complex, which is a 12 electrolyte.     

Direct synthesis of (imine)platinum(II) complexes by iminoacylation of ketoximes with activated organonitrile ligands

The metal-mediated iminoacylation of ketoximes R1R2C=NOH (1a R1 = R2 = Me; 1b R1 = Me, R2 = Et; 1c R1R2 = C4H8; 1d R1R2 = C5H10) upon treatment with the platinum(II) complex trans-[PtCl2(NCCH2CO2Me)2] 2a with an organonitrile bearing an acceptor group proceeds under mild conditions in dry CH2Cl2 to give the trans-[PtCl2{NH=C(CH2CO2Me)ON=CR1R2}2] 3a-d isomers in moderate yield. The reaction of those ketoximes with trans-[PtCl2(NCCH2Cl)2] 2b under the same experimental conditions gives a 1 : 1 mixture of the isomers trans/cis-[PtCl2{NH=C(CH2Cl)ON=CR1R2}2] 3e-h and 4e-h in moderate to good yield. These reactions are greatly accelerated by microwave irradiation to give, with higher yields (ca. 75%), the same products which were characterized by IR and 1H, 13C and 195Pt NMR spectroscopies, FAB-MS, elemental analysis for the stable trans isomers, and X-ray diffraction analysis (3f). The diiminoester ligand in 3a was liberated upon reaction of the complex with a diphosphine.     

Synthesis and characterisation of mixed ligand Pt(II) and Pt(IV) oxadiazoline complexes

The nitrile ligands in trans-[PtX2(PhCN)2] (X = Cl, Br, I) undergo sequential 1,3 dipolar cycloadditions with nitrones R1R2C=N+(Me)-O(-) (R1 = H, R2 = Ph; R1 = CO2Et, R2 = CH2CO2Et) to selectively form the Delta4-1,2,4-oxadiazoline complexes trans-[PtX2(PhCN) (N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CR1R2)] or trans-[PtX2(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CR1R2)2] in high yields. The reactivity of the mixed ligand complexes trans-[PtX2(PhCN)(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CR1R2)] towards oxidation and ligand substitution was studied in more detail. Oxidation with Cl2 or Br2 provides the Pt(IV) species trans-[PtX2Y2(PhCN)(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CH(Ph))] (X, Y = Cl, Br). The mixed halide complex (X = Cl, Y = Br) undergoes halide scrambling in solution to form trans-[PtX(4-n)Yn(PhCN)(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CH(Ph))] as a statistical mixture. Ligand substitution in trans-[PtCl2(PhCN)(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CR1R2)] allows for selective replacement of the coordinated nitrile by nitrogen heterocycles such as pyridine, DMAP or 1-benzyl-2-methylimidazole to produce mixed ligand Pt(II) complexes of the type trans- [PtX2(heterocycle)(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CR1R2)]. All compounds were characterised by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and 1H, 13C and 195Pt NMR spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray structural analysis of (R,S)-trans-[PtBr2(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CH(Ph))2] and trans-[PtCl2(C5H5N)(N=C(Ph)-O-N(Me)-CH(Ph))] confirms the molecular structure and the trans configuration of the heterocycles relative to each other.     

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.     

Conversion of imine ligands in allyl-nickel(II) complexes

Interaction of Ni(allyl)₂ and bidentate nitrogen-containing ligands (phenanthroline-1,10; bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)diazabutadiene) has been studied. It has been shown that coordination of diimine ligands proceeds with transfer of an allylnickel group to the diimine frame and formation of a covalent Ni-N bond giving rise to imine(amide)Ni(II) complexes. In the case of phenanthroline dearomatization of one heteroaromatic ring takes place. The low-spin imine(amide)allyl complexes (allyl)Ni(C₁₅H₁₅N₂) (1) and (allyl)Ni(C₂₉H₄₂N₂) (3) have been isolated as crystals and characterized by solution spectroscopy. Combining two molar equivalents of phenanthroline-1,10 with Ni(allyl)₂ results in the transfer of both allyl groups and formation of the high-spin imine(amide)Ni(II) complex Ni(C₁₅H₁₅N₂)₂ (2).     

Some palladium(II) and platinum(II) lead bonded complexes

Complexes of the type M(PPh₃)₂(PbPh₃)₂ [M = Pd, (Ia) and Pt, (Ib)] have been prepared by oxidative addition of hexaphenyldilead to M(PPh₃)₄. The compound Pt(PPh₃)₂(PbPh₃)₂, (Ib), slowly decomposes in dichloromethane to give cis-Pt(PPh₃)₂(PbPh₃)Ph, (II). which can also be obtained by treating (Ib) with the stoichiometric amount of LiPh. Reaction of Pt(PPh₃)₄ with hexamethyldidead gives the complex Pt(PPh₃)₂(PbMe₃)Me directly.The MPb bonds are easily cleaved by bromine, iodine and hydrogen bromide. The X-ray structure of (II) has been determined using three-dimensional counter data and refined by the least-square method (R = 0.07). The crystals are monoclinic a = 22.501, b = 10.502, c = 24.120 Å, β = 113.43°, space group P2₁/c with Z = 4. The complex exhibits a cis configuration, with the coordination around the platinum atom essentially square-planar: the PtPb and PtC(phenyl)bond lengths are 2.698(1) and 2.055(3)Å, respectively.     

Red electrophosphorescent platinum(II) quinolinolate complexes

Abstract  

Luminescent organoplatinum complexes featuring 8-quinolinolates as chelating ligands have been synthesized and characterized. Substitution of the quinolinolate ligand has been achieved in the 5 position, where benzoyl substituents were introduced by reacting 8-hydroxyquinoline and the corresponding benzoyl chloride in a Friedel–Crafts acylation. The resulting complexes, κ²(N,C²)-(2-(4-tert-butylphenyl)pyridine)-κ²(N,O)-(5-(4-tert-butylphenyl)(8-quinolinolato-5-yl)methanone)platinum(II) and κ²(N,C²)-(3-hexyloxy-2-phenylpyridine)-κ²(N,O)-((8-quinolinolato-5-yl)phenylmethanone)platinum(II), have been investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopy, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, X-ray analysis, thermal analysis, cyclic voltammetry, UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, and luminescence measurements in solution and in the solid state. The solid-state structures of the complexes were found to be dominated by π–π intermolecular interactions. Organic light-emitting devices based on the complexes and a matching host material gave red to near-infrared electroluminescence with low-onset voltages (4–5 V) and continuous wave luminance intensities exceeding 500 cd/m².     

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with N-substituted methionines

Summary As an approach to systems containing methionine residues, 3-acetyl-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one (HDh, dehydroacetic acid) was treated with L-methionine (MetH) or L-methionine methylester (MetM). By condensation at the acyl group and transfer of the phenolic hydrogen on the nitrogen atom, the related ligands DhMetH and DhMetM, were isolated, and form complexes of formula [MX₂(L)₂](M = Pd or Pt, L = DhMetM, X = Cl, Br or I; L = DhMetH, X = Cl or Br) and [MI₂(DhMetH)] with palladium and platinum dihalides. The reaction of the DhMetK carboxylate with MCl₂ in various media is discussed. Ligands and complexes were characterized by i.r. and n.m.r. (¹H and¹³C) spectroscopy and, in some cases, by thermogravimetric measurements. The ligands behave as monodentate sulphur donors, the 12 complexes showing atrans geometry except for [PtCl₂(DhMetH)₂], which is probably a mixture ofcis andtrans isomers.     

Cationic pentafluorophenyl complexes of platinum(II)

The complex [O₃ClOPt(C₆F₅)(PEt₃)₂] which we have prepared for the first time, is used as a precursor of a series of cationic complexes [LPt(C₆F₅)(PEt₃)₂]ClO₄ (L = PEt₃, AsPh₃, H₂O, CO, OPPh₃, SPPh₃, HNPr₂, py), which are easily obtained by adding L to the perchlorato complex.     

Organometallic formate complexes of platinum(II)

The compounds trans-[Pt(OCHO)R(PPh₃)₂] (R = C₆Cl₅; 2,3,4,6-C₆HCl₄; 2,3,4,5-C₆HCl₄; 2,5-C₆H₃Cl₂) have been prepared by treatment of [PtIR(PPh₃)₂] with AgClO₄ followed by reaction with NaOCHO in methanol. The cis isomers have been obtained by the direct reaction of HCO₂H with compounds containing PtHg bonds. For these and the analogous compounds containing C₆F₅ ligands, the dependence of J(³¹P¹⁹⁵Pt) on R has been studied, and the effects of cis-R shown to be in the opposite direction from those of trans-R ligands.     

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.     

Voltammetric behaviour of cis-diarylbis(triethylphosphine)platinum(II) complexes

The voltammetric behaviour of cis-[Pt(PEt₃)₂(YC₆H₄)₂] complexes in acetonitrile has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The oxidation potential increases linearly with increasing electron-withdrawing ability of the Y substituent in the platinum-bonded aryl ligand. The data are related to studies of electrophilic Pt—C bond cleavage.     

Mixed ligand complexes of platinum(0) containing diphosphines

The reaction of PtCl₂L (L = diphosphine) with the appropriate diphosphine L′ in ethanol followed by reduction with aqueous sodium borohydride leads to either disproportionation to give mixtures of the bis(diphosphine) complexes PtL₂ and PtL′₂ or to the formation of the mixed ligand complex PtLL′ depending on the diphosphines. Mixed ligand complexes are obtained when L=Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂, L′ = Ph₂P(CH₂PPh₂cis-Ph₂PCH CHPPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₂AsPh₂, Ph₂- P(CH₂)₄PPh₂, o-Ph₂PC₆H₄PPh₂; and L=(C₆H₁₁)₂P(CH₂₂P(C₆H₁₁)₂, L′= Ph₂P(CH₂)PPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂cis-Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂, (2S,3S)-Ph₂PCH- (CH₃)CH(CH₃)PPh₂, (R)-Ph₂PCH(CH₃)CH₂PPh₂. When L=Ph₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂ L′= Ph₂P(CH₂₃PPh₂ or cis-Ph₂PCHCHRPh₂ the mixed ligand complexes are obtained but extensive disproportionation also occurs.     

Cationic cyclic carbene or carbon-bonded ylide complexes of iridium(III) and platinum(II)

2-Chloro-4-methylthiazole, 2-chlorobenzoxazole and 2-chlorobenzthiazole oxidatively add to both [IrCl(CO)(PMe₂Ph)₂] and [Pt(PhCHCHPh)(PEt₃)₂]; protonation of the products at nitrogen produces cationic carbene complexes.
