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.

Bis(alkoxycarbonyl) complexes of platinum: preparation,reactivity and their role in carbonylation reactions

bis(alkoxycarbonyl) complexes of platinum of the type [Pt(COOR)₂L] [L = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), l,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) or 1,2-bis-(diphenylphosphino)benzene (dpb); R = CH₃, C₆H₅ or C₂H₅] were obtained by reaction of [PtCl₂L] with carbon monoxide and alkoxides.

A study of the bonding between platinum(II) and the group VI donor ligand in the isostructural complexes chloropentafluorophenolato-o-vinyl-n, ndimethylanilineplatinum(II) and chloropentafluorothiophenolato-o-vinyl-N, Ndimethylanilineplatinum(II)

The molecular structures of Pt(VMN)Cl(OC₆F₅), and Pt(VMN)Cl(SC₆F₅), (VMN = o-Me₂NC₆H₄CHCH₂) have been determined from single crystal X-ray diffraction data. Both complexes crystallize in the P$\text{1}$ space group with lattice constants a 8.661(4), b 10.458(8), c 10.102(8) Å, and a 8.724(3), b 10.385(5), c 10.414(8) Å, respectively. Least squares refinements gave conventional R values of 0.033, and 0.045. The molecules are essentially isostructural and the coordination geometries have been used in conjunction with platinum—olefinic hydrogen coupling constants to reveal a small but significant degree of π-bonding between platinum(II) and the thiol sulphur.     

Synthesis and characterization of cyclometallated palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with amide-thiolate ligands

The redox reaction of bis(2-benzamidophenyl) disulfide (H₂L-LH₂) with [Pd(PPh₃)₄] in a 1:1 ratio gave mononuclear and dinuclear palladium(II) complexes with 2-benzamidobenzenethiolate (H₂L⁻), [Pd(H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (1) and [Pd₂(H₂L-S)₂ (μ-H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (2). A similar reaction with [Pt(PPh₃)₄] produced only the corresponding mononuclear platinum(II) complex, [Pt(H₂L-S)₂(PPh₃)₂] (3). Treatment of these complexes with KOH led to the formation of cyclometallated palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes, [Pd(L-C,N,S)(PPh₃)]⁻ ([4]⁻) and [Pt(L-C,N,S) (PPh₃)]⁻ ([5]⁻). The molecular structures of 2, 3 and [4]⁻ were determined by X-ray crystallography.

The representative solid-state molecular structures of the platinum complexes 1b and 2b were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and revealed that the complexes exhibit a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. Furthermore, the palladium complexes were tested as potential catalysts in the Heck and Suzuki cross-coupling reactions.     

Preparation and structural characterization of Os(II) and Ru(II) complexes,MCl2(vdpp)2 [M = Os or Ru,vdpp = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene]

A reaction between Os₂(O₂CCH₃)₄Cl₂ and vdpp [vdpp = 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino) ethene] was investigated. When the reactants, in the presence of LiCl, were heated in toluene OsCl₂(vdpp)₂,1, was formed. In a similar reaction Ru₂(O₂CCH₃)₄Cl with vdpp afforded RuCl₂(vdpp)₂,2. The molecular structures of1 and2 were elucidated using X-ray crystallography. Single crystals of1 and2 grown from dichloromethanehexane crystallize in the space group P2₁/c with these cell dimensions: a = 11.046(2)Å, b = 18.168(3)Å, c = 12.678(3)Å, β = 110.24(2)° and V = 2387(2)ų for1 and a = 11.055(1)Å, b = 18.199(3)Å, c = 12.693(2)Å, β = 110.16(1)°, V = 2392(1)ų for2. The molecules of1 and2 are isostructural. Metal atoms reside on inversion centers relating the two halves of the molecules. The complexes are six-coordinate with two four-membered chelate rings and trans chlorine atoms. For RuCl₂(vdpp)₂ the PMP angle in the chelate ring is 73.13(2)° and the PCP angle in the chelate ring is 98.6(1)°. These values are 72.74(3)° and 97.9(2)°, respectively, for OsCl₂(vdpp)₂. There is a disordered dichloromethane solvent molecule present in the lattice and there are no unusual intermolecular contacts.     

A cobalt(III) compound of a 13‐membered cyclic tetra­amine: trans‐(12,12‐dimethyl‐1,4,7,10‐tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane)diisothio­cyanato­cobalt(III) tetra­isothio­cyanato­zinc(II) ethanol solvate

The title compound, [Co(NCS)₂(C₁₁H₂₆N₄)]₂[Zn(NCS)₄]·C₂H₅OH, has two similar cations with the Co^III atom coordinated in a planar fashion by the 13‐membered cyclic tetra­amine, in the 1R,4S,7R,10S configuration, and with trans isothio­cyanate ligands. The six‐membered chelate ring is in a chair conformation, with one axially and one equatorially oriented methyl substituent [mean Co—N = 1.948 (2) Å]. The `opposite' chelate ring (N<sup>4</sup> and N<sup>7</sup>) is in an eclipsed conformation [mean Co—N = 1.928 (2) Å], and the `side' chelate rings have gauche conformations. The mean Co—N_NCS distance is 1.928 (2) Å. Both cations have one Co—N—C group nearly linear and the other appreciably bent, with mean Co—N—C angles of 178.7 (1) and 160.4 (1)°, respectively. The [Zn(NCS)₄]²⁻ anion is approximately tetra­hedral, with Zn—N = 1.951 (1)–1.986 (1) Å, N—Zn—N = 104.5 (1)–111.9 (1)° and Zn—N—C = 152.5 (1)–179.4 (1)°. One NH group is hydrogen bonded to the ethanol O atom and the other NH groups are bonded to thio­cyanate S atoms, forming a network.     

Six-membered cyclometallated derivatives of platinum(II) derived from 2-benzylpyridines. Crystal and molecular structure of [Pt(L)(Ph3P)Cl] (HL = 2-(1-methylbenzyl)pyridine)

The reaction of K₂[PtCl₄] with 2-(1-methylbenzyl)pyridine, HL, and 2-benzylpyridine, HL', affords the cyclometallated species [{Pt(L)Cl}₂] (1) and [{Pt(L')Cl}₂] (2), respectively. The chloride bridge in complex 1 can be split by neutral or anionic species to give the monomeric, [Pt(L)(Ph₃P)Cl], as two isomers, trans-P-Pt-C (3) and trans-P-Pt-N, (4), [Pt(L)(py)Cl] (5), [Pt(L)(CO)Cl] (6), [Pt(L)(CNCH₂SO₂C₆H₄CH₃-4)Cl] (7), [Pt(L)(acac)] (Hacac = 2,4-pentanedione) (8), [Pt(L)(dppm)][BF₄] (dppm = bis(diphenyl-phosphino)methane) (9), [Pt(L)(dppe)][BF₄] (dppe = bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) (10) and [Pt(L)(dipy)][BF₄](dipy = 2,2'-dipyridine) (11). Similarly, compound 2, by reaction with Ph₃P, affords [Pt(L')(Ph₃P)Cl], as two isomers, trans-P-Pt-C (12) and trans-P-Pt-N (13). Reaction of compounds 1 or 4 with AgBF₄ in acetonitrile affords [Pt(L)(CH₃CN)₂IBF₄] (14) or [Pt(L)(Ph₃P)-(CH₃CN)][BF₄] (15). From these, [Pt(L)(Ph₃P)₂][BF₄] (16), [Pt(L)(Ph₃P)(CO)][BF₄] (17) and [Pt(L)(Ph₃P)(py)][BF₄] (18), can be obtained by displacement of the coordinated acetonitrile. The new complexes were characterized by IR, ¹H and ³¹P NMR and FAB-MS spectroscopic techniques. The NMR spectra at room temperature of most of the species derived from HL give evidence for the presence in solution of two diastereomers a and b. The structure of one diastereomer of complex 4 has been solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction, 4b. The platinum atom is in an almost square planar geometry with a P-Pt-N trans arrangement: Pt-N = 2.095(3), Pt-C = 1.998(4), Pt-P = 2.226(1) and Pt-Cl = 2.400(1) Å. The six-membered cyclometallated ring is in a boat conformation, with the CH₃ group in an equatorial position, i.e pointing away from the metal. Attempts to obtain [{Pt(L″)Cl}₂] (HL″ = 2-(dimethylbenzyl)pyridine), afforded an insoluble product heavily contaminated by platinum metal; treatment of this crude material with Ph₃P gave [Pt(L″)(Ph₃P)Cl] (19).     

The trans-Influence in Platinum (II) Complexes. 1H- and 13C-NMR. and X-ray structural studies of tridentate Schiff's base complexes of platinum (II)

¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. data are reported for the complexes [Pt (1) L] and [Pt (2) L]; 1 = OC₆H₄CH ? NCH₂CH₂O, 2 = OC₆H₄CH ? NC₆H₄O; L = PR₃, AsR₃, C ? N (cyclohexyl), DMSO, pyridine, secondary amine. The molecular structures of [Pt (2) (NHEt₂)] (I) and [Pt (2) (PPh₃)] (II) have been determined by X-ray analysis. Relevant bond distances for I: Pt-N (amine) = 2.076 Å, Pt-N (imine) = 2.017 Å, Pt-O = 1.992 Å and 2.002 Å; for II: Pt-P = 2.248 Å, Pt-N = 2.064 Å, Pt-O = 1.964 and 2.005 Å. Both the solid and solution state data are interpreted in terms of differences in the trans influence of the ligand L. The question of metal-ligand d-p π back bonding to the imine is discussed.     

trans‐Di­chloro­bis­(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐P)­platinum(II)

Two different crystals (A and B) were used to structurally characterize trans‐[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] and to study random and systematic errors in derived parameters. The compound is isomorphous with trans‐[PdCl₂(PPh₃)₂] and with one of the polymorphs of trans‐[PtMeCl(PPh₃)₂] reported previously. Half‐normal probability plot analyses based on A and B show realistic s.u.'s and negligible systematic errors. R.m.s. calculations give very good agreement between A and B, 0.0088 Å. Important geometrical parameters are Pt—P = 2.3163 (11) Å, Pt—Cl = 2.2997 (11) Å, P—Pt—Cl = 87.88 (4) and 92.12 (4)°. Half‐normal probability plots and r.m.s. calculations were also used to compare the title compound with the palladium analogue, showing small systematic differences between the compounds. The torsion angles around the Pt—P bond were found to be very similar to those reported for isomorphous complexes, as well as to the torsion angles around the Pt—As bond in trans‐[PtCl₂(AsPh₃)₂]. The NMR coupling constants for the title compound are similar to Pt—P coupling constants reported for analogous trans complexes.     

Preparation of cationic chelate ylide complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II)

Cationic palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes with chelate ylides and neutral ligands of the type, [MCl (Y) (L)]⁺BPh₄^? (M  Pd or Pt; Y  bdep or bdmp*; L = 4-methylpyridine, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, PPh₃, PCy₃, PMePh₂, P(OMe)₃, AsPh₃ or SbPh₃) and [M(bdep) (4-methylpyridine)₂] (BPh₄)₂ (M = Pd or Pt) were prepared and characterized by means of infrared and ¹H NMR spectra.     

Crystal and molecular structure of the linear metal-chain semiconductor bis(1,2-benzoquinonedioximato)platinum(II), Pt(bqd)2

The full, three-dimensional crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been determined by conventional single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The data were collected at room temperature by counter methods with a Syntex P2₁ four circle, computer controlled diffractometer using graphite monochromated MoKα radiation and $\text{θ}\text{2θ}$ scans (0° < 2θ ≤70°). A 03.5 × 0.25 × 0.15 mm crystal was utilized and yielded the following crystal data: PtC₁₂H₁₀N₄O₄, mol wt = 469.33, orthorhombic space group Ibam (D²⁶_2h), cell constants a = 20.68(9)Å, b = 9.743(3)Å, c = 3.346(2)Å, V = 1279(1)ų; Z = 4, d_cale = 2.44 g/cm³. The structure was refined by full-matrix least-squares methods using 758 independent reflections (I > 3.5σ(I)) to a final R = 5.2% for all nonhydrogen atoms. The lattice is built up of neutral, completely coplanar Pt(bqd)₂ complexes with the Pt(II) core at the molecular center of symmetry. The four N atoms of the bidentate chelating ligands are arranged in a rectangle around the central metal ion at a distance MN = 1.99 Å. The flat complex units are stacked equidistantly one on top of the other along the c-axis with the molecular planes disposed strictly perpendicular to the stacking direction. The nearest neighbors within a stack are staggered by an angle of 93°. The Pt(II) sites are aligned in “infinite” straight chains with a regular PtPt contact of only 3.173 Å ($\text{c}\text{2}$), the shortest observed so far in unoxidized 1,2-dionedioximates of transition metal ions. This unusually short intermetallic separation is most reasonably linked to the large ligand-induced nephelauxetic effect of the Pt d⁸-shell.
