Synthesis of poly-yne polymer containing platinum and silicon atoms in the main chain by oxidative coupling and its reactions with transition-metal carbonyl complexes

The platinum poly-yne polymer, [? C?C? SiMe₂? C?C? Pt(PBu₃)₂? C?C? SiMe₂? C?C? ]_n (2), was synthesized by the oxidative coupling of a silicon–platinum monomer, trans-(PBu₃)₂Pt(C?C? SiMe₂–C?CH)₂ (1). The reaction of platinum poly-yne polymer 2 with dicobaltoctacarbonyl gave μ-coordinated complexes, {[? C?C? SiMe₂? C?C? Pt(PBu₃)₂? C?C? SiMe₂? C?C? ] [Co₂(Co)₆]₂}_n (4). the electric conductivity of iodine adducts of the polymer complexes 4 was 3.0×10^?5 S cm^?1. As an aid to spectroscopic characterization of the polymer complex 4, a model complex, {trans-[(PBu₃)₂Pt? (C?C? SiMe₂? C?CH)₂]} {[Co₂(CO)₆]₂} (3), was also prepared by the reaction of 1 with dicobaltocatacarbonyl. Selective coordination of Co₂(CO)₆ groups to ? SiMe₂? C?C C?C? Si(Me)₂? Moieties and coordinative inertness of the Pt? C?C? moieties were confirmed by comparison of the NMR spectra of 3 with those of 4. All new compounds have been characterized by analytical and spectral analysis (IR, ¹H NMR).     

Studies on polyyne polymers containing transition metals in the main chain. IV. Polymer synthesis by oxidative coupling of transition metal-bis(acetylide) complexes

The metal-polyyne polymers consisting of transition metals and conjugated tetrayne systems where M represents ? Pt(PBu₃)₂? or ? Pd(PBu₃)₂? moiety were prepared by the oxidative coupling method and characterized by spectral analysis, associated with novel depolymerization giving binuclear transition metal complexes, and      

Binuclear Pd(II) complexes with alkynyl ligands and functionalised tail-groups: Molecular and electronic structure studied by XPS and EXAFS

The binuclear transition metal dialkynyl bridged Pd(II) complexes trans,trans-[ClPd(PBu₃)₂–CC–C₆H₄–C₆H₄–CC–Pd(PBu₃)₂Cl] and trans,trans-[CH₃OC–S–Pd(PBu₃)₂–CC–C₆H₄–C₆H₄–CC–Pd(PBu₃)₂–S–COCH₃] were synthesized and investigated by X-ray Photoemission (XPS) and X-ray Absorption (XAS) spectroscopies. XPS measurements lead to assess that the thiolate terminal group does not affect dramatically the electronic structure of the transition metal, and as a consequence the two complexes are expected to possess analogous molecular structure. XAS data analysis suggested a square-planar geometry around the palladium center in both binuclear compounds.     

Evolution of lowest singlet and triplet excited states with transition metals in group 10-12 metallaynes containing biphenyl spacer

A new series of thermally stable group 10 platinum(II) and group 12 mercury(II) poly-yne polymers containing biphenyl spacer trans-[-Pt(PBu₃)₂CC(p-C₆H₄)₂CC-]_n and [HgCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CC-]_n were prepared in good yields by Hagihara’s dehydrohalogenation reaction of the corresponding metal chloride precursors with 4,4′-diethynylbiphenyl HCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCH at room temperature. We report the optical spectroscopy of these polymetallaynes and compare the results with their bimetallic model complexes trans-[Pt(Ph)(PEt₃)₂CC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCPt(Ph)(PEt₃)₂] and [MeHgCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCHgMe] as well as the group 11 gold(I) counterpart [(PPh₃)AuCC(p-C₆H₄)₂CCAu(PPh₃)]. The structural properties of all model complexes have been studied by X-ray crystallography. The influence of the heavy metal atom in these metal alkynyl systems on the intersystem crossing rate and the spatial extent of lowest singlet and triplet excitons is systematically characterized. Our investigations indicate that the organic triplet emissions can be harvested by the heavy-atom effect of group 10-12 transition metals (viz., Pt, Au, and Hg) which enables efficient intersystem crossing from the S₁ singlet excited state to the T₁ triplet excited state.

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.

Drastic Tuning of the Photonic Properties of «(Push–Pull)n» trans‐Bis(ethynyl)bis(Tributylphosphine)Platinum(II)‐Containing Polymers

The trans‐Pt(PBu₃)₂Cl₂ complex reacts with 1 equiv. of 2,6‐diethynyl‐ AQ and 2 equiv. of 2‐ethynyl‐ AQ ( AQ = anthraquinone) to form the polymer (trans‐Pt(2,6‐diethynyl‐ AQ )₂(PBu₃)₂)_n, 1 , and the model compounds, 2 , trans‐Pt(PBu₃)₂(2‐ethynyl‐ AQ )₂ (in a 20:1 ratio as trans‐( 2a ) and cis‐( 2b ) rotational isomers), respectively. These redox‐active and luminescent materials have been characterized by gel permeation chromatography, thermal gravimetric analysis, X‐ray crystallography, electrochemistry, photophysics, and DFT computations (B3LYP). The typical π,π* T₂→S₀ phosphorescence centered on the trans‐Pt(PBu₃)₂(aryl)₂ chromophore, [Pt] , generally encountered for the analogous polymers (trans‐Pt(PBu₃)₂(aryl)₂‐acceptor)_n (acceptor = quinonediimine, QN₂ ; anthraquinone diimine, AQN₂ ), for which the CT T₁→S₀ emission is silent, has been completely annihilated and replaced by a red‐shifted T₁→S₀ emission in 1 and 2a , which arise from a triplet charge transfer excited state [Pt] → AQ .

     

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)°.     

Syntheses and structural aspects of rigid aryl- palladium(II) and -platinum(II) complexes. X-ray crystal structure of o,o′-bis[(dimethylamino)methyl]phenyl- platinum(II) bromide

The tridentate monoanionic ligand o,o′-(Me₂NCH₂)₂C₆H₃ (NCN′) has been used to synthesize novel aryl-palladium(II) and -platinum(II) complexes [PtR(NCN′)] and [MX(NCN′)] (M = Pt, Pd). Three synthetic procedures are described, namely: (i) reaction of the cationic complex [M(NCN′)(H₂O)]⁺ with KX or NaX to give [MX(NCN′)] (X = Cl, I, O₂CH, NCS, NO₂, NO₃); (ii) displacement reactions using AgX with [MBr(NCN′)] to give [MX(NCN′)] (X = CN, O₃SCF₃. O₂CMe, O₂CCF₃) and (iii) transmetallation reactions of [PtBr{C₆H₃(CH₂NMe₂)₂-o,o′}] with organolithium to give [PtR{C₆H₃(CH₂NMe₂)₂-o,o′}] (R = Ph, o-, m-, p-tolyl, CCPh, CC-p-tolyl). All complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, and IR, ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.An X-ray diffraction study has shown that [PtBr{C₆H₃(CH₂NMe₂)₂-o,o′}] (2) has a square-planar structure, in which the tridentate ligand is bonded via C(ipso) (PtC 1.90(1) Å), and two mutually trans-N donor atoms (PtN(1) 2.07(1), PtN(2) 2.09(1) Å). The fourth site trans to C(ipso) is occupied by bromine (PtBr 2.526(2) Å). The two chelate rings (NPtC(ipso) 82.9(5) and 81.5(5)°) are distinctly puckered, with the two NMe₂ groups on opposite sides of the aryl plane. The PtC bond in 2 is shorter than analogous bonds in other arylplatinum(II) complexes, as a result of (i) the rigid structure of the tridentate ligand and (ii) the presence of two hard N donor atoms trans to one another across the platinum centre.     

Synthesis of linked metal acetylide complexes for nonlinear optics

Treatment of [Mn(CO)₅Br] (1) with a slight excess of Me₃SnCCPh affords the known species [(CO)₅Mn(CCPh)] (2), whereas reaction between 1 and Me₃SnCCRCCSnMe₃ (R = p-C₆H₄C₆H₄) gives the bimetallic complex [(CO)₅MnCCRCCSnMe₃] (3). This latter species is a good precursor for other syntheses, and treatment of 3 with a further equivalent of 1 gives [(CO)₅MnCCRCCMn(CO)₅] (4), while 3 with trans-[Pd(PBu₃)₂Cl₂] affords [(CO)₅MnCCRCCPd(PBu₃)₂Cl] (5).     

Synthesis, spectroscopy, structures and photophysics of metal alkynyl complexes and polymers containing functionalized carbazole spacers

A new class of soluble and thermally stable group 10 platinum(II) poly-yne polymers functionalized with 9-arylcarbazole moiety trans-[-Pt(PBu₃)₂CCRCC-]_n (R = 9-arylcarbazole-3,6-diyl; aryl = p-methoxyphenyl, p-chlorophenyl) were prepared in good yields by the polycondensation polymerization of trans-[PtCl₂(PBu₃)₂] with HCCRCCH under ambient conditions. The optical absorption and emission properties of these polymetallaynes were investigated and compared with their bimetallic molecular model complexes trans-[Pt(Ph)(PEt₃)₂CCRCCPt(Ph)(PEt₃)₂] as well as their group 11 gold(I) and group 12 mercury(II) neighbors [(PPh₃)AuCCRCCAu(PPh₃)] and [MeHgCCRCCHgMe]. The structures of all the compounds were confirmed by spectroscopic methods and by X-ray crystallography for selected model complexes. The influence of the heavy metal atom and the 9-aryl substituent of carbazole on the evolution of lowest electronic singlet and triplet excited states is critically characterized. It was shown that the organic-localized phosphorescence emission can be triggered readily by the heavy-atom effect of group 10-12 transition metals (viz., Pt, Au, and Hg) with the emission efficiency generally in the order Pt > Au > Hg. These carbazole-based organometallic materials possess high-energy triplet states of 2.68 eV or higher which do not vary much with the substituent of 9-aryl group.     

The Staudinger reaction of platinum(II)- and palladium(II)-coordinated 2-(azidomethyl)phenyl isocyanide. X-ray structure of trans-[PtCl{(H)}(PPh3)2][BF4] · CDCl3 · H2O

2-(Azidomethyl)phenyl isocyanide, 2-(CH₂N₃)C₆H₄NC (AziNC), coordinates to some cationic Pt(II) and Pd(II) species to afford isocyanide complexes of the type trans-[MCl(AziNC)(PPh₃)₂][BF₄] (M=Pt, l; Pd, 2). AziNC is coordinated also in some neutral Pt(II) and Pd(II) species such as [MCl₂(AziNC)₂] (M=Pt, 3; Pd, 4) derived from the reactions of 2 equiv. of AziNC with [PtCl₂(COD)] and [PdCl₂(MeCN)₂], respectively. Complexes 1 and 2 react with 1 equiv. of PPh₃ affording the heterocyclic carbene complexes trans-[MCl{(H)}(PPh₃)₂][BF₄] (M=Pt, 5; Pd, 6). Complexes 3 and 4 react with 1 equiv. of PPh₃ displacing the isocyanide with the formation of the complexes cis-[MCl₂(AziNC)(PPh₃)] (M=Pt, 7; Pd, 8). These latter ones react with 2 equiv. of PPh₃ affording as the final products the cationic carbene species trans-[MCl{(H)}(PPh₃)₂][Cl] (M=Pt, 9; Pd, 10). Complex 5 was also characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The carbene complex is square-planar and the angle formed between the platinum square plane and the heterocyclic carbene ligand is 87.9(2)°. The C(1)-N(1) and C(1)-N(2) bond distances in the latter of 1.32(2) and 1.30(2) Å, respectively, are short for a single bond and indicate extensive π-bonding between the nitrogen atoms and the carbene carbon.     

Studies on polyyne polymers containing transition metals in the main chain. VII. Synthesis and characterization of palladium-polyyne polymers

Metal-polyyne polymers consisting of palladium and conjugated acetylenic systems, where P_D and R represent the —Pd(PBu₃)₂—moiety and alkyl groups, respectively, were prepared by polycondensation between palladium chlorides and α,ω-diethynyl compounds in amines using a catalytic amount of cuprous iodide. The molecular weights of the polymers formed were greatly affected by the basicity of the amines and the addition of free phosphines to the polymerization system. Under the optimum conditions, i.e., in the presence of CuI and PBu₃ (in molar ratio 1/4) in piperidine at room temperature, polymer Ia (R¹ = R² = H) having M?_w = 29,000 was obtained.     

Reactions of diphosphineplatinum(II) oxalate complexes with phenylacetylene. Formation of phenylalkynylplatinum complexes

[Pt(C₂O₄)(dppe)] reacts thermally with PhCCH to produce [Pt(CCPh)₂(dppe)], which has been prepared by alternative routes. Similar treatment of [Pt(C₂O₄)(dppm)] initially produces [Pt(CCPh)₂(dppm)], which rearranges to give cis,cis-[Pt₂(CCPh)₄(μ-dppm)₂]. Reaction of [PtCl₂(dppm)] with PhCCH/KOH/18-crown-6, or with (PhCC)SnMe₃, gives [Pt(CCPh)₂(dppm)], which may be converted to the cis,cis-dimer by addition of oxalic acid. Ultraviolet irradiation or refluxing with a trace amount of dppm converts [Pt(CCPh)₂(dppm)] to trans,trans-[Pt₂(CCPh)₄(μ-dppm)₂], but the cis,cis-dimer is stable under these conditions. [Pt(C₂O₄)L₂] (L = PPh₃, PEt₃) complexes also react thermally with PhCCH to yield [Pt(CCPh)₂L₂] species.     

Reactions of alkynes with bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum-ethylene: A 31P-{1H} NMR study

Internally consistent assignments of the ³¹P-{¹H} NMR parameters of the complexes [Pt(RCCR′)(PPh₃)₂] are proposed, based on the premise that the magnitude of ¹J(PtP) depends mainly on the nature of the moiety CR trans to P. For a given R, ²J(PP) correlates with ¹J(PtP) for thebond trans to CR. The alkynes PhCCSnEt₃, PhCCSnPh₃, Me₃SiCCCl, Me₃SiCCBr, Et₃SiCCI and MeCCI undergo oxidative addition reactions with [Pt(C₂H₄)(PPh₃)₂]; the intermediate alkyne complex was detected for PhCCSnEt₃, Me₃SiCCCl and Me₃CCBr. The triyne Me(CC)₃Me forms platinum(0) complexes by coordination with the central or terminal CC bond and appears also to give a platinum(II) complex by oxidative addition.     

Cyanoalkyl complexes of transition metals . : II. Preparation and properties of some platinum complexes containing phosphorus as a donor atom

cis-PtCl(CH₂CN)(PPh₃)₂ was obtained by the reaction of Pt(PPh₃)₄ with ClCH₂CN in acetone. A solution of Pt(PPh₃)₄ and ClCH₂CN in benzene was heated under reflux to give trans-PtCl(CH₂CN)(PPh₃)₂. The reaction of the trans-isomer with Br^?, I^?, Ph₂PCH₂CH₂ PPh₂, Ph₂PCH₂CH₂AsPh₂ and cisPh₂PCHCHPPh₂ has been examined. The trans-influence of a ligand trans to the CH₂CN group seems to be indicated by the ²J(PtH) of the CH₂CN protons. The τ values of trans-PtX(CH₂CN)(PPh₃)₂ and PtX(CH₂ CN)(PP) (X = Cl, Br, I) are related by a linear function.     

A new synthesis of platinum—carbon bonds

Syntheses of cis-[PtCl(CH₂COCH₃)(PEt₃)₂], cis-[PtCl(CH₂NO₂) (PEt₃)₂], and trans-[Pt(CCPh)₂ (PEt₃)₂] are described. The procedure involves reaction of cis-[PtCl₂(PEt₃)₂] with Ag₂O and acidic CH bonds to precipitate AgC1 and generate a PtC bond. The method may represent a new general route to platinum—carbon bonds.     

Hydrido- and hydroxo-cyanoalkyl complexes of platinium(II). Reactivity of the PtH and PtOH bonds towards nucleophiles and electrophiles

Reactions of the PtH and/or PtC bonds of the hydridocyanoalkyl complexes cis- or trans-PtH[(CH₂)_nCN]L₂ (n = 1, 3; L₂ = 2 PPh₃, Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂) are described, viz. reductive elimination induced by CO, PhCCPh, PEt₃, PPhMe₂, cis-Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂ to give Pt(CO)₂L₂, PtL₂(PhCCPh), PtL₂, PtL(PPhMe₂)₃, PtL₂(Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂) (L = PPh₃), respectively, and cleavages by acids, halogens and alkyl halides.The monomeric hydroxo complexes cis-Pt(OH)[(CH₂)_nCN]L₂ were shown to be intermediates in the synthesis of PtH[(CH₂)_nCN]L₂ from cationic cyanoalkyl complexes in alcoholic NaOH. Their characterisation and the reactions of the PtOH bond with activated methyl groups are reported.     

Palladium(II) and platinum(II) saccharinate complexes containing pyridine and 3-acetylpyridine: Synthesis, crystal structures, fluorescence and thermal properties

New palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes of saccharinate (sac), trans-[Pd(py)₂(sac)₂] (1), cis-[Pt(py)₂(sac)₂] (2), trans-[Pd(3-acpy)₂(sac)₂] (3) and cis-[Pt(3-acpy)₂(sac)₂] (4) (py = pyridine and 3-acpy = 3-acetylpyridine) have been synthesized. Elemental analysis, UV-Vis, IR, NMR and TG/DTA characterizations have been carried out. The structures of 1-4 were determined by X-ray diffraction. The palladium(II) and platinum(II) ions are coordinated by two N-bonded sac ligands, and two nitrogen atoms of py or 3-acpy, forming a distorted square-planar geometry. The palladium(II) complexes (1 and 3) are trans isomers, while the platinum(II) complexes (2 and 4) are cis isomers. The mononuclear species in the solid state are connected by weak intermolecular C-H?O hydrogen bonds, C-H?π and π?π stacking interactions. The platinum(II) complexes show significant fluorescence at the room temperature.     

Enthalpies of reaction of bis(triphenylphosphine)(trans-stilbene)platinum(0) with diphenylcyclopropenone and benzocyclobutenedione

Enthalpies, ΔH(1) ?94.8 ± 6.0 and ΔH(6) ?57.1 ± 5.1 kJ mol^?1, of the following reactions have been measured calorimetrically [Pt(trans-stilbene)(PPh₃)₂](s) + dpcp(g) → (PPh₃)₂Pt(dpcb)(s) + trans-stilbene(g) (1) [Pt(trans-stilbene)(PPh₃)₂](s) + bcbd(g) → (PPh₃)₂Pt(bcpd)(s) + trans-stilbene (g) (6) where dpcp is diphenylcyclopropenone, (PPh₃)₂Pt(dpcb) is (1,1-bistriphenylphosphine)platinadiphenylcyclobutenone, (PPh₃)₂$\text{PtC(Ph)C(Ph)C}$O, bcbd is benzocyclobutene-1,2-dione and (PPh₃)₂Pt(bcpd) is (1,1-bistriphenylphosphine)platinabenzocyclopentanedione,

. It is concluded that the five-membered platinacyclo ring system in (PPh₃)₂Pt(dpcb) is not heavily strained.
