Treatment of Au₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)Cl₂ with one equivalent of the [Ru₅C(CO)₁₄]²⁻ dianion in the presence of TlPF₆ gives Ru₅C(CO)₁₄Au₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) (1) in good yield and the [{Ru₅C(CO)₁₄}₂Au₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)]²⁻ (2) anion in low yield. Complex 2 becomes the major product if 2 equivalents of [Ru₅C(CO)₁₄]²⁻ are used. Reaction of [Au₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)Cl₂] with 3 equivalents of [H₃Os₄(CO)₁₂]⁻ anion in the presence of TlPF₆ affords {H₃Os₄(CO)₁₂}₂Au₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂) (3) in reasonable yield. X-ray diffraction studies of 1 and 3 show that they contain the [Au₂(Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂)]²⁺ fragment in different coordination modes.

Aryl- and acetylene-nickel(I) complexes

Reduction of various pentafluorophenylnickel(II) complexes in the presence of phosphines gives unstable nickel(I) compounds but Ni(C₆F₅)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ is isolated in the presence of CO. Similar NiR(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (R = C₆F₅,C₆Cl₅, 2,3,5,6-C₆Cl₄H) are obtained by reaction of the halogenonickel(I) complex with MgRBr or LiR. Reduction of NiX₂L₂ in the presence of acetylenes gives [NiXL₂]₂(μ-PhCCR) (R = H, X = Cl and R = Ph, X = Cl, Br) when L = P-n-Bu₃ but only NiX(PPh₃)₃ are recovered when L = PPh₃. No reaction with the alkyne is observed for [NiX(PPh₃)₂]_n but [NiCl(PPh₃)]_n reacts with RCCR′ to give paramagnetic NiCl(PPh₃)(CRCR′) (R = Ph, R′= H, COOEt), diamagnetic [NiCl(PPh₃)]₂(μ-PhCCPh) and cyclotrimerization when R = R′ = COOMe. Chemical and structural behaviour of the new nickel(I) complexes is described.

Low-Dimensional Architectures in Isomeric cis-PtCl2{Ph2PCH2N(Ar)CH2PPh2} Complexes Using Regioselective-N(Aryl)-Group Manipulation

The solid-state behaviour of two series of isomeric, phenol-substituted, aminomethylphosphines, as the free ligands and bound to Pt^II, have been extensively studied using single crystal X-ray crystallography. In the first library, isomeric diphosphines of the type Ph₂PCH₂N(Ar)CH₂PPh₂ [1a–e; Ar = C₆H₃(Me)(OH)] and, in the second library, amide-functionalised, isomeric ligands Ph₂PCH₂N{CH₂C(O)NH(Ar)}CH₂PPh₂ [2a–e; Ar = C₆H₃(Me)(OH)], were synthesised by reaction of Ph₂PCH₂OH and the appropriate amine in CH₃OH, and isolated as colourless solids or oils in good yield. The non-methyl, substituted diphosphines Ph₂PCH₂N{CH₂C(O)NH(Ar)}CH₂PPh₂ [2f, Ar = 3-C₆H₄(OH); 2g, Ar = 4-C₆H₄(OH)] and Ph₂PCH₂N(Ar)CH₂PPh₂ [3, Ar = 3-C₆H₄(OH)] were also prepared for comparative purposes. Reactions of 1a–e, 2a–g, or 3 with PtCl₂(η⁴-cod) afforded the corresponding square-planar complexes 4a–e, 5a–g, and 6 in good to high isolated yields. All new compounds were characterised using a range of spectroscopic (¹H, ³¹P{¹H}, FT–IR) and analytical techniques. Single crystal X-ray structures have been determined for 1a, 1b∙CH₃OH, 2f∙CH₃OH, 2g, 3, 4b∙(CH₃)₂SO, 4c∙CHCl₃, 4d∙½Et₂O, 4e∙½CHCl₃∙½CH₃OH, 5a∙½Et₂O, 5b, 5c∙¼H₂O, 5d∙Et₂O, and 6∙(CH₃)₂SO. The free phenolic group in 1b∙CH₃OH, 2f∙CH₃OH_, 2g, 4b∙(CH₃)₂SO, 5a∙½Et₂O, 5c∙¼H₂O, and 6∙(CH₃)₂SO exhibits various intra- or intermolecular O–H∙∙∙X (X = O, N, P, Cl) hydrogen contacts leading to different packing arrangements.

Platinum group metal functionalized phosphine complexes. Part 2. Phosphinoamide rhodium(I), iridium(I), palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes

Summary Rhodium(I), iridium(I), palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of the phosphinoamide ligands, Ph₂PCH₂CONHR (R = H, HDPA; Me, MDPA; Ph, PDPA) were prepared and characterized by using conductivity data, i.r., ¹H and ³¹P(H) n.m.r. spectral data. Reaction of the ligands with MCl(PPh₃)₃ and MCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂ (M = Rh, Ir) in CH₂Cl₂ under reflux lead to the formation of MCl(PPh₃)₂ [Ph₂PCH₂C(O)NHR] and MCl(CO)(PPh₃)[Ph₂PCH₂–C(O)HNR] respectively. The reaction of either K₂MCl₄ or cis-MCl₂(PPh₃)₂ affords complexes of the type cis-MCl₂[Ph₂PCH₂C(O)NHR]₂ (M = Pd, Pt). A similar product results even from the reaction of phosphinoamides with cis-platin. Possible structures are proposed for the complexes based on their physicochemical data     

Structural,Theoretical, and Spectroscopic Study of Mercury(II) Complexes of two New Unsymmetric Phosphorus Ylides

Abstract

The reaction of Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂ (dppm) with 4-methylphenacyl bromide and 2-(bromoacetyl)naphthalene in chloroform produce the new phosphonium salts [Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂CH₂C(O)C₆H₄Me]Br (1) and [Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂CH₂C(O)C₁₀H₇]Br (2). Further, by reaction of the monophosphonium salts of dppm with the strong base Et₃N the corresponding bidentate phosphorus ylides, Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)₂ = C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Me (3) and Ph₂PCH₂P(Ph)₂ = C(H)C(O)C₁₀H₇ (4) were obtained. The reaction of these ligands with mercury(II) halides in dry methanol led to the formation of the mononuclear complexes {HgX ₂[(Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Me)]} [X = Cl (5), Br (6), and I (7)] and {HgX ₂[(Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₁₀H₇)]} [X = Cl (8), Br (9), and I (10)]. Characterization of the obtained compounds was performed by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, ³¹P, and ¹³C NMR spectra. The structure of compounds 3 and 10 are unequivocally determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. X-ray analysis of 10 reveals the presence of mononuclear complex containing Hg atom in a distorted tetrahedral environment. In all complexes, the title ylides are coordinated through the ylidic carbon and the phosphine phosphorus. Computational studies on ligand 4 and complexes 8, 9, and 10 at DFT (B3LYP) level of theory are also reported. It was shown that the formation of P,C-coordinated 1+1 complex 10 is energetically more favored than corresponding P,P-coordinated 1+2 product.
