Studies on metal—acetylene complexes : VI. Crystal and molecular structure of [diethylbis(1-pyrazolyl)borato]methyl(1-phenylpropyne)-platinum(II), [(C2H5)2B(N2C3H3)2](CH3)Pt(C6H5CCCH3)

The crystal and molecular structure of [diethylbis(1-pyrazolyl)borato]methyl(1-phenylpropyne)platinum(II), ([(C₂H₅)₂B(N₂C₃H₃)₂](CH₃)Pt(C₆H₅CCCH₃)), has been determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study using diffractometer techniques. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 13.239(6), b = 11.077(5), c = 15.619)7) Å and β = 114.53(2)°. The observed density of 1.71(2) g cm^?3 agrees well with the calculated value, 1.687 g cm^?3, assuming four molecules in the cell. A conventional agreement factor of 0.036 was obtained by least-squares refinement on F using 3289 observations and 194 variables. The coordination about the platinum atom is square planar, if the acetylene is assumed to occupy one coordination site. The substituents of the acetylene are cis-bent away from the Pt atom, the methyl substituent by 17.7(1.0)°, and the phenyl substituent by 21.2(9)°. The coordinated triple bond length is 1.227(10) Å. These results indicate that the acetylene is moderately perturbed on coordination, consistent with the observation that Δν(CC) is 211 cm^?1. The conformation of the ring formed by the bidentate polypyrazolylborate ligand is that of a “shallow” boat. One of the methylene H atoms on the ethyl substituents on the polypyrazolylborate ligand when placed in an idealized position is 2.65 Å distant from the Pt atom.

Also described are cis- and trans-[Pt(SnCl₃)(C₆Cl₅)(PEt₃)₂], obtained by treating SnCl₂ with cis- and trans-[PtCl(C₆,Cl₅)(PEt₃)₂], respectively. It is shown that while trans- [PtH(C₆Cl₅)(PEt₃)₂] does not form hydride-bridged complexes in the presence of trans-(PtH(MeOH)(PEt₃)₂]⁺, the corresponding complex trans-[PtH(C₆)(PEt₃)₂] reacts with the same solvento complex, in methanol, giving labile [(PEt₃)₂HPt(-μH)Pt(C₆F₅)(PEt₃)₂]⁺.

Crystals of [Ca(C₃H₂N₃O₃)(H₂O)₆]⁺ · (C₃H₂N₃O₃)^? · H₂O (I) are restudied by X-ray crystallography. The previous X-ray study is shown to be incorrect.

The crystal of I contains a developed three-dimensional system of interionic (intermolecular) hydrogen bonds involving all H atoms.

Related compounds [Pt(η²-CH₂C₅Ph₄L₂] (L  PPh₃, PMePh₂, PMe₂Ph, AsPh₃ or CNBu^t have also been prepared and characterised. Reaction of the complexes [Pt(C₂H₄)₂(L)] (L  P(cyclo-C₆H₁₁)₃, PPh₃ or AsPh₃) with 2,3,4,5-tetraphenylfulvene yields the compounds [Pt(C₂H₄)(η²-CH₂C₅PH₄)(L)]. NMR data for the new species are reported and discussed. 6,6-Diphenylfulvene reacts with [Pt(cod)₂] and PPh₃ ($\text{1}\text{2}$ mol ratio) to give the complex [Pt(η²-C₅H₄CPh₂)-(PPh₃)₂] in which the metal atom is bonded to carbon atoms C(2) and C(3) of the fulvene ring.

It is shown that ligand 1 , designed to span trans-positions, under appropriate conditions also gives cis-mononuclear complexes of platinum (II). The structure of cis-[PtCl₂ (1) ] (2) has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The major distortion from square planar coordination is the P-Pt-P angle of 104.8°. Values of valence angles within the bidentate ligand indicate that this part of the molecule is very strained. Two phenyl groups, one on each phosphorus, lie almost parallel to each other separated by ca. 3.2–3.3 Å. The ¹H-NMR. data for this compound show that the π-phenyl interactions observed in the solid state occur also in solution. The preparation and NMR.-spectroscopic properties of trans- and cis-[PtH(PPh₃) (1) ] [BF₄] are reported.

Synthesis and structural characterization of acetatobis(triphenylphosphine)dicarbonylmanganese(I), (CH3CO2)Mn(CO)2[P(C6H5)3]2: An organometallic complex containing a chelating acetate ligand

The accidental but intriguing synthesis of acetatobis(triphenylphosphine)dicarbonylmanganese(I), (CH₃CO₂)Mn(CO)₂[P(C₆H₅)₃]₂, has been accomplished by the reaction of NaMn(CO)₅ with (CH₃)₃SiCl followed by the addition of triphenylphosphine and acetic acid. A three-dimensional single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis has shown an octahedral-like molecule containing a symmetrically oxygen-chelating acetate group, the first such group to be reported in a metal carbonyl complex. The two triphenylphosphine ligands occupy mutually trans positions with the two carbonyl ligands possessing the remaining cis sites in the octahedral complex. The compound crystallizes with four molecules in a monoclinic unit cell of space group symmetry $\text{P}\text{2}{}_1\text{c}$ and of dimensions a = 17.744(2) Å, b = 9.692(1) Å, c = 20.004(2) Å, and β = 106.195(4)°. The relatively long MnO(acetate) bond lengths [2.066(6) and 2.069(7) Å] and the relatively short MnCO bond lengths [1.701(12) and 1.760(13) Å] and the relatively short MnP(C₆H₅)₃ bond lengths [2.260(3) and 2.275(3) Å], compared to the corresponding MnCO and MnP(C₆H₅)₃ bond lengths in other manganese carbonyl triphenylphosphine complexes, are rationalized on the basis that the acetate ligand in this molecule functions primarily as a σ-donor.
