Abstract: | In a new oxidative route, Ag(+)Al(OR(F))(4)](-) (R(F)=C(CF(3))(3)) and metallic indium were sonicated in aromatic solvents, such as fluorobenzene (PhF), to give a precipitate of silver metal and highly soluble In(PhF)(n)](+) salts (n=2, 3) with the weakly coordinating Al(OR(F))(4)](-) anion in quantitative yield. The In(+) salt and the known analogous Ga(+)Al(OR(F))(4)](-) were used to synthesize a series of homoleptic PR(3) phosphane complexes M(PR(3))(n)](+), that is, the weakly PPh(3)-bridged (Ph(3)P)(3)In-(PPh(3))-In(PPh(3))(3)](2+) that essentially contains two independent In(PPh(3))(3)](+) cations or, with increasing bulk of the phosphane, the carbene-analogous M(PtBu(3))(2)](+) (M=Ga, In) cations. The M(I)-P distances are 27 to 29 pm longer for indium, and thus considerably longer than the difference between their tabulated radii (18 pm). The structure, formation, and frontier orbitals of these complexes were investigated by calculations at the BP86/SV(P), B3LYP/def2-TZVPP, MP2/def2-TZVPP, and SCS-MP2/def2-TZVPP levels. |
