N-aminorhodamne complexes of palladium(II), palladium(IV) and platinum(II)

Summary TheN-aminorhodanine (L) complexes: PdLX, (X = Br or I), ML_1.5Cl₂ (M = Pd or Pt), PtL₂X₂ (X = Br, I or ClO₄), PdL₃(ClO₄)₂, PdL_1.5Cl₄ and PdL₃(ClO₄)₄ have been prepared and investigated. The ligand is bonded to the metal ion through the aminic nitrogen atom as monodentate or through this atom and the thiocarbonylic sulphur atom when it acts as chelating or bridging ligand. The carbonylic oxygen atom is never coordinated.     

Thermal and spectral studies of palladium(II) and platinum(IV) complexes with dithiocarbamate derivatives

Four new coordination complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(IV) starting from bis(dimethylthiocarbamoyl)sulphide (L¹) and bis(diethylthiocarbamoyl)disulphide (L²) were synthesized and characterized in solid state by elemental analysis, infrared and electronic spectroscopy as well as thermal analysis (TG/DTA). The complexes were formulated on the basis of experimental data as [Pd(Me₂NCS₂)₂] (1), [Pt(Me₂NCS)₂SCl₄]·3H₂O (2), [Pd(Et₂NCS₂)₂] (3) and [Pt(Et₂NCS)₂S₂Cl₄]·4H₂O (4), respectively. TG experiments revealed the nature of complex species as hydrated (2 and 4) or anhydrous (1 and 3). Thermal decomposition of coordinated organic ligands occurs in one or two exothermic stages, the final residue being in all cases the free metal (Pd or Pt).

The compounds have general formula M(L₁)(L₂)Cl₂ where M=Pt^II, Pd^II; L₁=purine or pyrimid, L₂=N-EtIm orN-PropIm, except the complexes Pt(purine)(pyrimid)Cl₂ and [Pd(purine)(pyrimid)₂Cl]Cl and [Pt(purine)₂ (N-propIm)Cl]Cl·2H₂O.     

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.     

Synthesis and characterization of palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with ferrocenylimidazole

The synthesis and characterization of ferrocenylimidazole complexes of platinum(II) and palladium(II) are described. Reaction of ferrocenylimidazoles with K₂MCl₄ (M = Pd, Pt) using a biphasic system of dichloromethane and ethanol/water provided the corresponding complexes 2a–2j in good yields. New synthetic routes for the synthesis of ferrocenylbenzylethers 2k–2o, bis(4-ferrocenylbenzyl)carbonate [2p] and 4-ferrocenylbenzylacetate [2q] are also described. These products were obtained by the reaction of 4-ferrocenylbenzyl-1H-imidazole-carboxylate and K₂PtCl₄ under various conditions. Compounds 2k–2o were also obtained by alternative routes which do not involve the use of a platinum salt. The crystal structures of 2b, 2q and plausible mechanisms for the formation of 2k, 2p and 2q are reported.     

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.     

Heteroleptic platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes with thiacrown and diimine ligands

We wish to report the synthesis, crystal structures, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of several new Pt(II) heteroleptic complexes containing the thiacrown, 9S3 (1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) with a series of substituted phenanthroline ligands and related diimine systems. These five ligands are 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline(5,6-Me₂-phen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline(4,7-Me₂-phen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(4,7-Ph₂-phen), 2,2′-bipyrimidine(bpm), and pyrazino[2,3-f]quinoxaline or 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene(tap). All complexes have the general formula [Pt(9S3)(N₂)](PF₆)₂ (N₂ = diimine ligand) and form similar structures in which the Pt(II) center is surrounded by a cis arrangement of the two N donors from the diimine chelate and two sulfur atoms from the 9S3 ligand. The third 9S3 sulfur in each structure forms a longer interaction with the platinum resulting in an elongated square pyramidal structure, and this distance is sensitive to the identity of the diimine ligand. In addition, we report the synthesis, structural, electrochemical, and spectroscopic properties of related Pd(II) 9S3 complex with tap. The ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts for the six Pt(II) complexes show a value near −3290 ppm, consistent with a cis-PtS₂N₂ coordination sphere although more electron-withdrawing ligands such as tap show resonances shifted by almost 100 ppm downfield. The physicochemical properties of the complexes generally follow the electron-donating or withdrawing properties of the phenanthroline substituents.     

Reaction of platinum (II) and palladium (II) nitrite complexes with potassium bromide

Separation of palladium(II) and platinum(II) chlorides by means of a guanidine resin

The preparation and properties of a new, weakly basic ion-exchanger containing suilonylguanidine as the active groups are described. Palladium and platinum chlorides can be quantitatively separated by this resin. Under certain conditions platinum does not react with the resin, whereas palladium is adsorbed and can then be eluted with 3 M hydrochloric acid.     

Coordination complexes of l-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid with platinum(II) and palladium(II)

Summary The complexes K[Pt(l-aze)Cl₂, [Pt(l-aze)₂] and [Pd(l-aze)₂] (l-aze = l-azetidine-2-carboxylate) were prepared. X-ray structures show that [Pt(l-aze)₂] and [Pd(l-aze)₂] are isomorphous, having a planar tetragonal geometry with a trans configuration around the Pt and Pd atoms. Slight puckerings of the MN(1)N(11)O(11) chelate ring (M = Pt or Pd) and the azetidine ring were observed. The circular dichroism (c.d.) spectra of the complexes in aqueous solution agree with the structures found in the solid state as far as the hexadecant rule is concerned, giving, for the trans configuration of [M(l-ia)₂] (where ia = imino acid), the profile of the c.d. signs for the three predominant d-d transitions as: +,-,-. I.r., conductivity and n.m.r. measurements are also reported and are in accord with the proposed structures.     

Synthesis,spectroscopy and electrochemistry of mixed-ligand complexes of platinum(II) and palladium(II)

Mixed-ligand complexes [MX₂(MBPY)] (M = Pd^II or Pt^II; X = Cl^–, I^–, N^– ₃ or NO₂ ^–; MBPY = 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bipyridine) have been prepared and characterised by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, i.r., electronic absorption and ¹H-n.m.r. spectroscopic techniques. The cyclic voltammograms of these complexes suggest the involvement of the metal d orbital in the one-electron oxidation process and the * orbital of the MBPY in the one-electron reduction process. [Pt(MBPY)(N₃)₂] shows solution-state luminescence at room temperature.     

Some mixed-ligand palladium(II) complexes and comparison of their photosensitizing ability with analogous platinum(II) complexes

Three new palladium(II) complexes of formula [Pd(bipy)(XX)] [where bipy is 2,2′-bipyridine and XX are dianions of catechol (CAT), 4-tert-butylcatechol (BCAT) and 3,4-dimercaptotoluene (DMT)] have been prepared and characterized by physical methods. A ligand-ligand charge-transfer band in each complex was observed between 16–21 kK (ε_max = 1500–2200 1 mol^?1 cm^?1) which is negatively solvochromic. These palladium(II) complexes in dimethylformamide photosensitize the formation of singlet oxygen and their ability to photosensitize triplet oxygen (³O₂) to singlet oxygen (¹O₂) are compared with analogous platinum(II) complexes. In addition, 2,2′-bipyridine-platinum(II) complex of 3,4-dimercaptotoluene also undergoes self-sensitized photooxidation.     

1,1-ethylenedithiolato complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II) with isocyanide and carbene ligands

The reactions of [Tl(2)[S(2)C=C[C(O)Me](2)]](n) with [MCl(2)(NCPh)(2)] and CNR (1:1:2) give complexes [M[eta(2)-S(2)C=C[C(O)Me](2)](CNR)(2)] [R = (t)Bu, M = Pd (1a), Pt (1b); R = C(6)H(3)Me(2)-2,6 (Xy), M = Pd (2a), Pt (2b)]. Compound 1b reacts with AgClO(4) (1:1) to give [[Pt(CN(t)Bu)(2)](2)Ag(2)[mu(2),eta(2)-(S,S')-[S(2)C=C[C(O)Me](2)](2)]](ClO(4))(2) (3). The reactions of 1 or 2 with diethylamine give mixed isocyanide carbene complexes [M[eta(2)-S(2)C=C[C(O)Me](2)](CNR)[C(NEt(2))(NHR)]] [R = (t)Bu, M = Pd (4a), Pt (4b); R = Xy, M = Pd (5a), Pt (5b)] regardless of the molar ratio of the reagents. The same complexes react with an excess of ammonia to give [M[eta(2)-(S,S')-S(2)C=C[C(O)Me](2)](CN(t)Bu)[C(NH(2))(NH(t)Bu)]] [M = Pd (6a), Pt (6b)] or [M[eta(2)-(S,S')-S(2)C=C[C(O)Me](2)][C(NH(2))(NHXy)](2)] [M = Pd (7a), Pt (7b)] probably depending on steric factors. The crystal structures of 2b, 4a, and 4b have been determined. Compounds 4a and 4b are isostructural. They all display distorted square planar metal environments and chelating planar E,Z-2,2-diacetyl-1,1-ethylenedithiolato ligands that coordinate through the sulfur atoms.
