Reactions of hydridosilacyclobutanes with low-valent complexes of iron or platinum

Unstable transition metal compounds formed from hydridosilacyclobutanes are described: 1-methyl-1-silacyclobutane reacts with nonacarbonyldiiron to give the complexes [Fe(CO)₄(H){$\text{Si(Me)CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂}] and [$\text{Fe{CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{Si}$(H)Me}(CO)₄], and with bis(triphenylphosphine)(ethylene)platinum(0) to give [Pt(H)(PPh₃)₂{$\text{Si(Me)CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_2\text{C}$H₂}].     

Reactions of homobinuclear platinum and palladium complexes with carbon monoxide

The reactivity of homobimetallic complexes of platinum(II) and palladium(II) containing diethyl(diphenylphosphinomethyl)amine (ddpa = (C₆H₅)₂PCH₂N(C₂H₅)₂) as a bridging ligand has been investigated. Carbon monoxide reacts reversibly with these complexes. The species formed are binuclear carbonyl-bridged derivatives, which can isomerize to ionic terminal carbonyl complexes. Reaction of [PtCl₂(CO)]₂[(C₂H₅)₄N]₂ with ddpa in dichloromethane gives the ionic platinum(I) complex [Pt(ddpa)Cl₂]₂[(C₂H₅)₄N]₂, which reacts with carbon monoxide. Still, homobimetallic derivatives of palladium(I) are unstable, and none have been isolated.     

Reactions of platinum nitrile complexes with cyclotriphosphazenes containing pyridylalkylamino groups

Reactions of platinum(II) and platinum(IV) nitrile complexes with polydentate ligands, such as pentaphenoxy(2-pyridylmethylamino)cyclotriphosphazene, pentaphenoxy(3-pyridylmethylamino)cyclotriphosphazene, and pentaphenoxy(2-pyridylethylamino)cyclotriphosphazene, were studied. Platinum(IV) is reduced to platinum(II) upon complex formation; the pyridine and alkylamine nitrogen atoms coordinate to platinum(II) to form chelate rings. The compounds obtained were characterized by ¹H and ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy, FAB mass spectrometry, and other methods.     

Reactions of platinum complexes with spiro compounds. formation of platinospiroalkanes

Spiro[2.nalkanes (n = 2, 4, 5) react with platinum complexes to form compounds of composition PtCl₂(spiroalkane). These materials have been characterized by infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, and the point of insertion has been shown to be the cyclopropyl carbon—carbon bond opposite the spiro carbon.     

Reactions of iridium and platinum complexes with N-sulfinyl compounds

The reactions of substituted N-sulfinylanilines with the complexes {Pt[P(C₆H₅₃]₂O₂} and {IrClCO[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂} have been reinvestigated. The former complex yields {Pt[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂SO₄} as the only isolable product in reactions with N-sulfinylaniline. In contrast to a previous report, Vaska's complex has been found not to react with C₆H₅NSO under anhydrous conditions. {Pt[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂-(C₂H₄)} reacts with N-sulfinyl compounds to give complexes of formula {Pt[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂-(RNSO)} where R = C₆H₅, p-O₂NC₆H₄, p-CH₃C₆H₄, or p-CH₃C₆H₄SO₂. {Pt[P(C₆H₅)₃]₃} reacts with C₆H₅NSO to give the same product obtained from reaction with the ethylene complex. Vaska's complex and its bromo analog form 1:1 adducts with p-O₂NC₆H₄NSO.     

Reactions of platinum complexes with alkyl-substituted cyclopropanes. The formation of platinacyclobutanes

Mono-, di-, and tri-alkyl-substituted cyclopropanes react with certain platinum complexes to form platinacyclobutanes, tetrakis[dichloro(substituted-cyclopropane)platinum]. These products result from insertion of platinum into the least-substituted carboncarbon bond of the cyclopropane ring. Although the stereochemistry of insertion is compatible with steric control of the reaction, evidence is presented for dominant electronic control, with platinum behaving as a nucleophile in the actual insertion step. Formation of these compounds, and their subsequent chemical reactions, appear to be competitive with rearrangement to platinumolefin complexes.     

Studies on structures of some platinum complexes with 1,1-cyclopropanedicarboxylate

The crystal structures of [Pt(NH3)2CPrDCA].H2O (I), [Pt(CH3NH2)2CPrDCA] (II), and [Pt(dmbn) CPrDCA].2.5H2O (III) (where CPrDCA is 1,1-cyclopropanedicarboxylate; dmbn is 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-butyldiamine) are determined. Compound I crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with the cell dimensions: a = 6.517(2), b = 9.709(3), c = 14.205(5) A, Z = 4, R = 0.058. Compound II is monoclinic with space group P2(1)/n, a = 9.648(3), b = 8.720(2), c = 12.770(4) A, beta = 107.12(2), Z = 4, R = 0.059. Compound III belongs to the monoclinic system space group P2(1)/m with the cell dimensions: a = 6.494(1), b = 19.638(3), c = 6.606(1)A, beta = 94.44(1), Z = 2, R = 0.038. Electronic structures of the complexes are studied and the correlation between structure of the amine ligands and biological activity of the complexes is explored.

Reactions of platinum complexes with 4,7-phenanthroline: crystal structures of mono- and binuclear platinum(II) complexes containing 4,7-phenanthroline

The reaction of a mixture of cis and trans-[PtCl₂(SMe₂)₂] with 4,7-phen (4,7-phen = 4,7-phenanthroline) in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 or 2 : 1 resulted in the formation of mono and binuclear complexes trans-[PtCl₂(SMe₂)(4,7-phen)] (1) and trans-[Pt₂Cl₄(SMe₂)₂(μ-4,7-phen)] (2), respectively. The products have been fully characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H, ¹³C{¹H}, HHCOSY, HSQC, HMBC, and DEPT-135 NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 reveals that platinum has a slightly distorted square planar geometry. Both chlorides are trans with a deviation from linearity 177.66(3)°, while the N–Pt–S angle is 175.53(6)°. Similarly, the reaction of a mixture of cis and trans-[PtBr₂(SMe₂)₂] with 4,7-phen in a 1 : 1 or 2 : 1 mole ratio afforded the mono or binuclear complexes trans-[PtBr₂(SMe₂)(4,7-phen)] (3) and trans-[Pt₂Br₄(SMe₂)₂(μ-4,7-phen)] (4), respectively. The crystal structure of trans-[Pt₂Br₄(SMe₂)₂(μ-4,7-phen)].C₆H₆ reveals that 4,7-phen bridges between two platinum centers in a slightly distorted square planar arrangement of the platinum. In this structure, both bromides are trans, while the PtBr₂(SMe₂) moieties are syn to each other. NMR data of mono and binuclear complexes of platinum 1–4 show that the binuclear complexes exist in solution as a minor product, while the mononuclear complexes are major products.     

Reactions of N-phenyl-o-semiquinonediimine complexes of nickel and platinum with carbonyl-containing low-valence iron and rhenium compounds

The reactions of o-semiquinonediimine complexes M[o-(NH)(NPh)C₆H₄]₂ (M = Ni (1) or Pt (2)) with carbonyl-containing iron and rhenium compounds were studied. The reactions of complexes 1 or 2 with Fe(CO)₅ afforded the Fe₂(CO)₆[-(NH)(NPh)C₆H₄] complex (3) containing the bridging N-phenyl-o-phenylenediamide ligand in high yield. The reaction of the Re(CO)₂(NO)Cl₂(thf) complex with complex 2 gave rise to the unusual mononuclear rhenium(iii) complex, viz., Re(Ph)[-¹-o-(NH)(NHPh)C₆H₄](CO)(NO)Cl₂ (4), no changes in the geometry of N-phenyl-o-phenylenediamine bound to the Re(NO)(CO)₂Cl₂ fragment being observed. The reaction of complex 2 with the Re(CO)₅Cl complex, which has been preliminarily treated with silver triflate, afforded the heterometallic complex (CO)Pt[-N,N-o-(N)(NPh)C₆H₄]₂ReCl[(NH)(NPh)C₆H₄]. The structures of the resulting complexes were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Reactions of platinum cluster ions with benzene

In this work, the cation and anion products of the reactions between platinum clusters produced by laser ablation and the benzene molecules seeded in argon have been studied using a high-resolution reflectron time-of-flight mass spectrometer (RTOFMS). The dominant cation products are [C(6n)H(6n - k)](+) and [Pt(m)(C(6)H(6))(n)](+) complexes, while the dominant anion products are dehydrogenated species, [C(6)H(5)PtH](-), [PtC(12)H(k)](-) and [Pt(m)C(6)H(4) . . .

Different reaction mechanisms are proposed for platinum cluster cations and anions with benzene, respectively.

Reactions between 8 and Ru(CCCCR)(PP)Cp [PP = (PPh₃)₂, R = Ph, SiMe₃, SiPrⁱ₃; PP = dppe, R = Ph] gave η¹-dienynyl complexes Ru{CCC[C(CN)₂]CRCH[CC(SiPrⁱ₃)]}(PP)Cp (15-18), respectively, in reactions not involving phosphine ligand displacement.
