Dynamic behaviour and X-ray analysis of chiral η-allylpalladium complexes. II

The DANTE technique and NOESY two-dimensional method have been employed to observe the isomerization of the chiral cationic complex [Pd(η³-CH₂CMeCH₂(P-P′)]⁺ (1a), where P-P′ = the chiral chelating ligand (S)(N-diphenylphosphino)(2-diphenylphosphinoxymethyl)pyrrolidine. The rate constant was found to be 0.5 s⁻¹ in CHCl₃ at 295 K and 1.50 s⁻¹ in the presence of added free ligand. In the latter case the epimerization proceeds by a π-σ-π mechanism via the intermediacy of a primary η¹-allylpalladium complex. Although the intermediate was not detected, the NMR findings reveal that it has the allylic terminus η¹-bonded to palladium. The structure of 1a in its PF₆⁻ salt has been determined. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with a 10.029(4) b 19.203(8) c 36.115(6) Å, Z = 8, R = 0.0572 and R_w = 0.0712 for 3716 observed reflections with I > 3σ(I).     

Crystal structure and luminescence property of ternary terbium p-aminobenzoic acid complexes with different second ligands

Ternary terbium complexes with p-aminobenzoic acid (HL), [TbL₃(DMSO)(H₂O)]₂ (1), [TbL₃(DMF)(H₂O)]₂ (2) and [TbL₃(Bpy)(H₂O)]₂·2H₂O (3) (DMSO=dimethyl sulfoxide, DMF=N, N- dimethylformamide, Bpy=2, 2′- bipyridyl) have been synthesized, and their crystal structures determined. The luminescence properties of these complexes, including both the emission quantum yield and the fluorescence lifetime, have been investigated. The effect of a second ligand on the crystal structure and luminescence property of the ternary terbium p-aminobenzoic acid complexes, and the relationship between luminescence properties and crystal structure, including coordination mode of the L⁻ ligand and the characteristics of a second ligand, are discussed.     

Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity in Heck-type reactions of orthometallated Pd and Pt complexes derived from (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane

The chiral bis-imine (1R,2R)-C₆H₁₀-[E---N=CH---C₆H₃---3,4-(OMe)₂]₂ 1 (LH) reacts with [Pd(OAc)₂] (1:1 molar ratio; OAc=acetate) giving the orthometallated [Pd(OAc)(C₆H₂---4,5-(OMe)₂---2-CH=N-(1R,2R)-C₆H₁₀---N=CH---C₆H₃-3′,4′-(OMe)₂-κ-C,N,N)] 2 (abbreviated as [Pd(OAc)(L-κ-C,N,N)]), through C---H bond activation on only one of the aryl rings and N,N-coordination of the two iminic N atoms. 2 reacts with an excess of LiCl to give [Pd(Cl)(L-κ-C,N,N)] 3. The reaction of 3 with AgClO₄ and neutral or anionic ligands L′ (1:1:1 molar ratio) affords [Pd(L-κ-C,N,N)(L′)](ClO₄) (L′=PPh₃ 4a, NCMe 5, pyridine 6, p-nitroaniline 7) or [Pd(I)(L-κ-C,N,N)] 8. Complex 4a reacts with wet CDCl₃ giving [Pd(C₆H₂---4,5-(OMe)₂---2-CH=N-(1R,2R)---C₆H₁₀---NH₂-κ-C,N,N)(PPh₃)](ClO₄) 4b as a result of the hydrolysis of the C=N bond not involved in the orthometallated ring. The molecular structure of 4b·CH₂Cl₂ has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Cleavage of the Pd---N bond trans to the C_aryl atom can be accomplished by coordination of strongly chelating ligands, such as acetylacetonate (acac) or bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), forming [Pd(acac-O,O′)(L-κ-C,N)] 9 and [Pd(L-κ-C,N)(dppe-P,P′)](ClO₄) 12, while classical N,N′-chelating ligands such as 1,10-phenantroline (phen) or 2,2′-bipyridyl (bipy) behave as monodentate N-donor ligands yielding [Pd(L-κ-C,N,N)(κ¹-N-phen)](ClO₄) 10 and [Pd(L-κ-C,N,N)(κ¹-N-bipy)](ClO₄) 11. Treatment of 1 with PtCl₂(DMSO)₂ (1:1 molar ratio) in refluxing 2-methoxyethanol gives Cl₂Pt[(NH₂)₂C₆H₁₀---N,N′] 13a and [Pt(Cl)(C₆H₂---4,5-(OMe)₂---2-CH=N-(1R,2R)---C₆H₁₀---NH₂-κ-C,N,N)] 13b, while [Pt(Cl)(L-κ-C,N,N)] 14 can be obtained by reaction of [Pt(μ-Cl)(η³-2-Me---C₃H₄)]₂ with 1 in refluxing CHCl₃. Complexes 2 and 3 catalyzed the arylation of methyl acrylate giving good yields of the corresponding methyl cinnamates and TON up to 847 000. Complex 3 also catalyzes the hydroarylation of 2-norbornene, but with lower yields and without enantioselectivity.     

Tris-chelate complexes with chiral ligands: In search of diastereoisomeric selectivity with remote stereogenic centres

The chiral ligands, 4,4′-bis{(1S,2R,4S)-(−)-bornyloxy}-2,2′-bipyridine, (1S,2R,4S)-1, and 4,4′-bis{(1R,2S,4R)-(+)-bornyloxy}-2,2′-bipyridine, (1R,2S,4R)-1, have been prepared and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and, for (1S,2R,4S)-1, by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Despite the use of enantiomerically pure ligands, the formation of the complexes [Fe((1S,2R,4S)-1)₃]²⁺, [Ru((1S,2R,4S)-1)₃]²⁺, [Ru((1S,2R,4S)-1)(bpy)₂]²⁺ and [Ru((1R,2S,4R)-1)(bpy)₂]²⁺ proceeds without preference for either the Δ or Λ-diastereoisomers.     

Catalytic and structural studies of Rh complexes of (−)-(2S,4S)-2,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane. Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenonebenzylimine and acetophenone

Rhodium(I) complexes formed by (−)-(2S,4S)-2,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane (BDPP) are efficient catalysts for the hydrogenation of acetophenone and acetophenonebenzylimine. The composition of the solvent mixture and the reaction temperature have a marked influenced on the enantioselectivity. These effects are thought to be related to the enhanced conformational flexibility of six-membered rings when simple substrates without functional groups are coordinated to the rhodium. X-ray crystallographic studies reveal that in [Rh((S,S)-BDPP)NBD]⁺ (1) the ligand is in a chair conformation, and that in [Rh((S,S)-BDPP)COD]⁺ (2) the chelate ring is in a δ-skew conformation. Studies of Rh((S,S)-BDPP)(NBD)Cl (3) in solution indicate a trigonal bipyramidal structure with a chair conformation of the ring in aromatic solvents and a conformationally labile ring in methanol.     

Synthesis and coordination of 2-diphenylphosphinopicolinamide

The synthesis and coordination of 2-diphenylphosphinopicolinamide (dpppa 1) is reported. Coordination complexes with Pd, Pt, Ru, Rh, Ir and Au are described. The ligand behaves as a monodentate P donor in complexes such as [PtCl₂(dpppa-P₂)], [PdCl(allyl)(dpppa-P)], [RuCl₂(p-Cymene)(dpppa-P)], cis-[PtCl₂(dpppa-P)(PR₃)] and [AuCl(dpppa-P)]. Bidentate P, O coordination was accomplished by reaction of BuLi with [RuCl₂(p-Cymene)(dpppa-P)], to give [RuCl(p-Cymene)(dpppa-P,O). P,N donor behaviour was achieved by reaction of a monodentate complex with a halide abstractor [AgBF₄] generating [RuCl(p-Cymene)(dpppa-P,N)][ClO₄] and[RhCl(η⁵-C₅Me₅)(dpppa-P,N)][BF₄]. The X-ray structures of dpppa, dpppaO, dpppaS, four monodentate complexes and [RuCl(p-Cymene)(dpppa-P,O) are reported. All of the structures contain intramolecular N–HN hydrogen bonding.     

Iminophosphine-palladium(0) complexes as catalysts in the alkoxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes

In the presence of methanesulfonic acid, the palladium(0)-olefin complexes: [Pd(η²-ol)(P---N)] [ol=dimethyl fumarate or fumaronitrile, P---N=1-(Ph₂P)C₆H₄-2-CH=NR (R=CMe₃ or C₆H₄OMe-4)] catalyse the alkoxycarbonylation of terminal alkynes. Moderately good rates are obtained when the catalysts are promoted with two equivalents of the free P---N ligand and a large excess of acid at 120°C. The catalytic data suggest that derivatives of the type [Pd(alkyne)(P---N)_n] (n=2–3) are the active catalytic species.     

Thermal decomposition study on mixed ligand thymine complexes of divalent nickel(II) with dianions of some dicarboxylic acids

Thermal decomposition of mixed ligand thymine (2,4-dihydroxy-5-methylpyrimidine) complexes of divalent Ni(II) with aspartate, glutamate and ADA (N-2-acetamido)iminodiacetate dianions was monitored by TG, DTG and DTA analysis in static atmosphere of air. The decomposition course and steps of complexes [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₄H₅NO₄)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·H₂O, [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₅H₇NO₄)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·H₂O and [Ni(C₅H₆N₂O₂)(C₆H₈N₂O₅)²⁻(H₂O)₂]·1.5H₂O were analyzed. The final decomposition products are found to be the corresponding metal oxides. The kinetic parameters namely, activation energy (E*), enthalpy (ΔH*), entropy (ΔS*) and free energy change of decomposition (ΔG*) are calculated from the TG curves using Coats–Redfern and Horowitz–Metzger equations. The stability order found for these complexes follows the trend aspartate > ADA > glutamate.     

N, C and Sn NMR and other spectroscopic studies of 8-quinolinol, its O- and N-methyl derivatives, and chelate di- and tri-organotin(IV) complexes

The nature of the 8-quinolinato ligand in various forms has been examined by ¹⁵N, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy, with evidence also from electronic spectroscopy. These forms include 8-quinolinol (HQ), 8-quinolinate, the 8-hydroxyquinolinium ion, O- and N-methyl derivatives, 8-methoxyquinoline (MeQ), the zwitterionic N-methylquinolinium-8-olate and the N-methylquinolinium ion, and the chelating ligand in organotin(IV) complexes. The ¹⁵N shift from MeQ to HQ affords a measure of the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in HQ. The ¹⁵N shifts and ²J(¹⁵N¹H) couplings afford criteria of chelation, and the O- and N-methyl compounds provide useful reference points for its assessment. Evidence for chelation is demonstrated in three groups of compounds, [SnR₂Q₂] (R = Me, Et, Buⁿ, Octⁿ or Ph), [SnR₃Q] (R = Me, Et, Buⁿ or Ph) and [SnR₂ClQ] (R = Me, Et, Buⁿ or Octⁿ), the ¹⁵N and ¹¹⁹Sn shielding increasing from the [SnR₃Q] to the [SnR₂Q₂] compounds.     

Enantioselective organic syntheses using chiral transition metal complexes V. (2S,3S)-Bis(dibenzophospholyl)butane, a rigid (S,S)-CHIRAPHOS analog

The P–Ph cleavage of phenyldibenzophosphole (1) with lithium in THF gives lithium dibenzophospholide (2). Reaction of 2 with ethyleneglycol ditosylate produces the known chelate ligand 1,2-bis(dibenzophospholyl)ethane (3) in good yield. Similarly, 2 and (2R,3R)-butanediol ditosylate give the new chiral chelate ligand (2S,3S)-bis(dibenzophospholyl)butane (4). Ligand exchange of [CpRu(PPh₃)₂Cl] with 3 or 4 yields the halfsandwich complexes [CpRu(C₁₂H₈PC₂H₄PC₁₂H₈)Cl] (5) and [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)Cl] (6). Complex 6 was characterized crystallographically (monoclinic, space group P2₁ (no. 4), a=820.6(4), b=1501.0(3), c=1172.8(6) pm, β=108.87(2)°, V=1.367(1)×10⁹ pm³, Z=2). The most conspicuous feature of the structure of 6 is the perfect coplanarity of the two dibenzophosphole moieties imposed by their steric interaction with the Cp ligand. Complex 6 and the thiophene complex [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)(SC₄H₄)]BF₄ (7) derived therefrom are remarkably unreactive with regard to ligand substitutions. A possible explanation is the lack of intramolecular

–C stabilization en route to the transition state of ligand substitution. The enantiomeric purity of 6 and 7 could nevertheless be demonstrated by conversion to diastereomerically pure [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)((S)-CNCHMePh)]BF₄ (8).     

A study on copper(II)-Schiff base-azide coordination complexes: Synthesis, X-ray structure and luminescence properties of [Cu(L)(N3)]X (L = Schiff bases; X = ClO4, PF6)

Two Schiff bases N,N′-(bis(pyridin-2-yl)benzylidene)propane-1,3-diamine (pbpd) and N,N′-(bis(pyridin-2-yl)formylidene)butane-1,4-diamine (pfbd) have been prepared and used to synthesize copper(II) complexes. Four complexes of the type [Cu(L)(N₃)]X (1–4) [L = pbpd; X = ClO₄ (1); L = pbpd; X = PF₆ (2); L = pfbd; X = ClO₄ (3); L = pfbd; X = PF₆ (4)] have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of microanalytical, spectroscopic, magnetic, electrochemical, luminescence and other physicochemical properties. Two representative complexes of the series, 2 and 3, have been characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements which reveal that in each complex the copper(II) ion assumes a distorted trigonal bipyramidal environment through coordination of the metal centre by two pyridine N atoms and two imine N atoms of the Schiff base with the fifth position occupied by a N atom of a terminal . They display intraligand ¹(π–π^*) fluorescence at room temperature and intraligand ³(π–π^*) phosphorescence in glassy solutions (MeOH at 77 K). A band (492 nm) observed for the complexes in their solid-state emission spectra is an excimeric emission arising due to an aromatic π–π interaction. Electrochemical electron transfer study reveals Cu^II–Cu^I reduction in methanolic solutions.     

Synthesis and resonance raman study of conductive iodinated materials derived from [M(dmit)(phen)] complexes [M = Pd(II), Pt(II)]

The synthesis and characterization of the [M(dmit)(phen)] complexes [M = Pd(II), Pt(II); H₂dmit = 4,5-dimercapto-1,3-dithiole-2-thione; PHEN = 1,10-phenanthroline) and of the iodinated [M(dmit)(phen)]I compounds are described. The conductivity of [M(admit)(phen)] increases upon oxidation by a factor of 10⁶, and is ca. 5 × 10⁻³ ohm⁻ cm⁻ for the [M(admit)(phen)]I compounds. The nature of the iodine species in these solids is determined by UV-visible and resonance Raman spectroscopies. The only polyiodide present is I⁻₃ and, thus, the charge distribution can be expressed as [M(dmit) (phen)^0.33+[I⁻₃]_0.33.     

钯(Ⅱ)三元配合物稳定性及其与DNA作用研究

合成了[Pd(bipy)(DL-gly)]Cl•2H₂₂O(2)两个钯三元配合物. 配合物１和２的稳定常数对数值lgβ分别为13.81和13.71, 表征常数ΔlgK、lgX高于统计值, 表明在配合物分子内存在d-p π电子协同效应. 紫外光谱、荧光光谱结果表明, 配合物１和２与鱼精DNA主要以插入方式键合, 键合常数分别为2.37×10⁶(1)和4.57×10⁶(2). CD光谱图也显示, 配合物与DNA分子之间发生了作用. 质粒pBR322 DNA的凝胶电泳图表明, 配合物浓度在3.0０×10^-3～7.5０×10^-4 mol •L^-1范围内对DNA分子有切割作用, 配合物浓度低于3.75×10^-4 mol •L^-1时则主要以插入方式与DNA键合.     

Chiral Non-racemic Bis(vicinal 1,2-Diamines): 4,5-Diamino-N-(3,4-diaminobutyl)pentanamide Tetrahydrochloride, N,N′-Bis[3,4-bis (t-butoxycarbonylamino)butyl]urea and N,N′Bis

The reaction of (R) or (S)-N⁴,N⁵-bis(t-butoxycarbonyl)-4,5-diaminopentanoic acid (6) with (R) or (S)-N³,N⁴-bis(t-butoxycarbonyl)-3,4-diaminobutylisocyanate (8) catalyzed by 4-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP), leads to the synthesis of (R,R), (S,S), (R,S) and (S,R) isomeric amides (11 a — d) The addition of adipic acid monomethyl ester to (R) or (S) isocyanate, followed by saponification, acidification and subsequent reaction with the second molecule of (R) or (S) isocyanate allows isolation of the (R,R), (S.S) and the meso isomers of N,N′-bis[3,4-bis(t-butoxycarbonylamino) butyl]hexanediamide (17) Removal of protecting groups with HCl/EtOH affords chiral non-racemic molecules having two free vicinal diamine units.     

Dimeric cyclopalladated azobenzenes: structural differences between 2-hydroxypyridine and 2-mercaptopyridine bridged complexes

Binuclear chloro-bridged cyclopalladated azobenzenes [Pd(A)Cl]₂ (A=ortho-metallated azobenzene or its derivatives) have been reacted with aqueous (aq.) AgNO₃ followed by the addition of 2-hydroxypyridine (2-PyOH; donor centres of deprotonated form abbreviated N,O)/2-mercaptopyridine (2-PySH; donor centres of deprotonated form abbreviated N,S) in presence of Et₃N to synthesise bridged dinuclear compound [Pd(A)(μ-N,O)]₂–[Pd(A)(μ-N,S)]₂. The compositions of the complexes have been established by elemental analyses, IR, UV–vis, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR spectral data. The structural confirmation has been carried out by X-ray crystallography. The structures show anti-symmetric metallacycle in the dimer and N,O/N,S bridging arrangement. The dimer [Pd(A₁)(μ-N,X)]₂ shows strong PdPd interaction (A₁=2-(phenylazo)benzene). The coordination mode in [Pd(A₁)(μ-N,O)]₂ shows trans pyridine-N to Pd---N(azo) bond while in [Pd(A₁)(μ-N,S)]₂ pyridine-N is trans to the Pd---C bond. The square planes are convergent towards heterocyclic bridging side.     

Oxidative addition of organic halides to zerovalent palladium complexes containing rigid bidentate nitrogen ligands

Zerovalent complexes of the type Pd(Ar-BIAN)(alkene), i.e. complexes containing the rigid bidentate nitrogen ligands bis(arylimino) acenaphthene (Ar = p-Tol, p-MeOC₆H₄, o-Tol,o,o′-Me₂C₆H₃, o,o′-ⁱPr₂C₆H₃) and an electron-poor alkene have been shown to react with a variety of (organic) halides RX, including methyl, benzyl, aryl, acyl and allylic halides, to give the corresponding square planar divalent Pd(R)X(Ar-BIAN) or [Pd(η³-allyl)(Ar-BIAN)]X complexes. The new complexes obtained have been fully characterized and their fluxional behaviour in solution studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The rate of oxidative addition of iodomethane to Pd(p-Tol-BIAN)(alkene) complexes was found to decrease with increasing Pd-alkene bond strength, i.e. dimethyl fumarate fumaronitrile, but oxidative addition to the fumaronitrile complex was accelerated by irradiation with a mercury lamp. Oxidative addition of allylic ha     

Infrared spectral, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and Mössbauer spectral investigations on tris(carbodithioato) iron(III) complexes

Two types of iron(III) carbodithioate complexes, (i) normal complexes, Fe(R₂NCS₂)₃ with R₂N = 4-methyl-, 4-phenyl-, or 2-methyl-piperazyl, piperidyl and thiomorpholyl and (ii) zwitterionic complexes, Fe(R₂NCS₂H)₃X₃ with R₂N = 4-methyl- or 4-phenyl-piperazyl and X = Cl or Br have been synthesized. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectral studies, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and in three cases by variable-temperature Mössbauer spectral studies. All the complexes exhibit the ²T₂ (low spin, S = ) ⁶ A₁ (high spin, S = ) spin equilibrium process. The zwitterionic carbodithioate ligands have a weaker ligand field strength than their normal ligand analogues.     

Protonation and hydrogenation of triosmium clusters containing the bridging diphosphine ligands Ph2P(CH2nPPh2 (n = 1 to 4)

Members of the series of bridging diphosphine clusters [Os₃(CO)₁₀(diphos)] where diphos = Ph₂P(CH_2nPPh₂ [dppm (n = 1), dppe (n = 2), dppp (n = 3), or dppb (n = 4)] show interesting differences in their reactivity towards H⁺ and H₂. Protonation leads to [Os₃(μ-H)(CO)₁₀(diphos)]⁺ with the hydrides bridging the same osmium atoms as the diphos ligand when diphos is dppe, dppp, or dppb, whereas the hydride and dppm bridge different edges in [Os₃9μ-H)(CO)₁₀(dppm)]⁺. Hydrogenation of the 1,2-diphos compounds leads to [Os₃(μ-H)₂(CO)₈(diphos)] (diphos = dppm, dppe, dppp) in good to excellent yield but the dppb analogue could not be made. Geometric and electronic factors affecting the ability to incorporate hydride ligands in these clusters are discussed.     

Phenylbis(2- pyridyl)phosphine: P- vs. N,N′-coordination in carbonylmolybdenum-(O) and -(II) complexes

The first carbonyl molybdenum-(O) and -(II) complexes with phenylbis(2-pyridyl)phosphine (PPhpy₂) have been synthesized. PPhpy₂ reacts with [Mo(CO)₅(NCMe)] to give [Mo(CO)₅(PPhpy₂-P)]. With [Mo(CO)₄(NBD)] (NBD = norbornadiene) it gives [Mo(CO)₄(PPhpy₂-P)₂] when a 2 : 1 ratio is used, or [MO(CO)₄(py₂PhP---N,N′)] for a 1 : 1 ratio. Decarbonylation of any of these pyridylphosphine complexes leads to an oligomer of formula {MO(CO)₃(μ-PPhpy₂)}_n, which is also obtained after heating [MO(CO)₆] in solution with an equimolar amount of PPhpy₂. The oligomer undergoes oxidative addition by iodine or allylbromide to give [MoI₂(CO)₃(py₂PhP---N,N′)], or [MoBr(η³-CH₂CHCH₂)(CO)₂(py₂PhP---N,N′)], respectively. These complexes are also obtained by addition of equimolar amounts of PPhpy₂ to solutions of [MoI₂(CO)₃(NCMe)₂] and MoBr(η³-CH₂CH CH₂)(CO)₂(NCMe)₂, respectively. The ligand tends to act as a P-donor towards molybdenum(O) substrates, and as a chelating N,N′-donor in molybdenum (II) complexes.     

Synthesis of a tripalladium cluster containing an η:η:η-bridging butadienyl ligand stabilized by a zwitterionic structure

An η¹-butadienyl complex [trans-η¹-CH₂=C(Me)C=CH₂Pd(PPh₃)₂Cl] (1) reacted with [(μ-η²:η²-1,3-butadiene)Pd₂(PPh₃)(μCl)Cl] (2) to result in displacement of the diene ligand of 2 accompanied by exchange of PPh₃ of 1 with Cl anion of 2 producing a butadienyl tripalladium cluster [(μ-CH₂=C(Me)C=CH₂)Pd(PPh₃)Cl₂ · Pd₂(PPh₃)₂(μ-Cl)] (3) stabilized by the zwitterionic structure in moderate yield. The X-ray structure analysis of 3 revealed rigid binding of [Pd₂(PPh₃)₂(μ-Cl)]⁺ and [CH₂ =C(Me)C=CH₂Pd(PPh₃)Cl₂]⁻ through the π-bond coordination of the butadienyl group to the dipalladium cation.
