Coordination Chemistry of Tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)methane: Binuclear,Tetranuclear and Polymeric Complexes |
| |
Abstract: | The ligand tetrakis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)methane, tpmm, binds in a η2, η2- bridging mode to square planar platinum(II) or palladium(II) centers to give complexes such as Pt2Me4(μ-tpmm)] or Pd2Cl4(μ-tpmm)]. These complexes yielded triflate derivatives Pt2Me2(OTf)2(μ-tpmm)] or Pd2(OTf)4(μ-tpmm)], and displacement of triflate by a bipyridine ligand then gave the cationic polymers {Pt2Me2(μ-LL)(μ-tpmm)}n]2n+ or the cationic network materials {Pd2(μ-LL)2(μ-tpmm)}n]4n+, LL=4,4’-bipyridine or 1,3-C6H4(CONH-4-C5H4N)2. Ligand tpmm reacts with copper(I) iodide to give Cu4I4(μ-tpmm)2] or with silver(I) triflate to give Ag2(OTf)2(μ-tpmm)], which then reacts with LL=1,3-C6H4(CONH-4-C5H4N)2 to give the polymeric complex {Ag2(μ-LL)(μ-tpmm)}n]2n+. The structure determination of Cu4I4(μ-tpmm)2] shows that it contains two isomeric forms with the tpmm ligands in either the η2, η2- or η3, η1- bridging mode. |
