Reaction of the trinuclear [NBu 4] 2[(R F) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(R F) 2] ( 1, R F = C 6F 5) with HCl results in the formation of the unusual anionic hexanuclear derivative [NBu 4] 2[{(R F) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-Cl)} 2] ( 4, 96 e (-) skeleton) through the cleavage of two Pt-C 6F 5 bonds. The reaction of 4 with Tl(acac) yields the trinuclear [NBu 4][(R F) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(acac)] ( 5, 48 e (-) skeleton), which is oxidized by Ag (+) to form the trinuclear compound [(R F) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(acac)][ClO 4] ( 6, 46 e (-) skeleton) in mixed oxidation state Pt(III)-Pt(III)-Pt(II), which displays a Pt-Pt bond. The reduction of 6 by [NBu 4][BH 4] gives back 5. The treatment of 6 with Br (-) (1:1 molar ratio) at room temperature gives a mixture of the isomers [(PPh 2R F)(R F)Pt(mu-PPh 2)(mu-Br)Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(acac)], having Br trans to R F ( 7a) or Br cis to R F ( 7b), which are the result of PPh 2/C 6F 5 reductive coupling. The treatment of 5 with I 2 (1:1 molar ratio) yields the hexanuclear [{(PPh 2R F)(R F)Pt(mu-PPh 2)(mu-I)Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-I)} 2] ( 8, 96 e (-) skeleton), which is easily transformed into the trinuclear compound [(PPh 2R F)(R F)Pt(mu-PPh 2)(mu-I)Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(I)(PPh 3)] ( 9, 48 e (-) skeleton). Reaction of [(R F) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(NCMe) 2] ( 10) with I 2 at 213 K for short reaction times gives the trinuclear platinum derivative [(R F) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(mu-PPh 2) 2Pt(I) 2] ( 11, 46e skeleton) in mixed oxidation state Pt(III)-Pt(III)-Pt(II) and with a Pt-Pt bond, while the reaction at room temperature and longer reactions times gives 8. The structures of the complexes have been established by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. In particular, the (195)Pt NMR analysis, carried out also by (19)F- (195)Pt heteronuclear multiple-quantum coherence, revealed an unprecedented shielding of the (195)Pt nuclei upon passing from Pt(II) to Pt(III). The X-ray diffraction structures of complexes 4, 5, 6, 9, and 11 have been studied. A detailed study of the relationship between the complexes has been carried out.
The rational synthesis of dinuclear asymmetric phosphanido derivatives of palladium and platinum(II), [NBu(4)][(R(F))(2)M(μ-PPh(2))(2)M'(κ(2),N,C-C(13)H(8)N)] (R(F) = C(6)F(5); M = M' = Pt, 1; M = Pt, M' = Pd, 2; M = Pd, M' = Pt, 3; M = M' = Pd, 4), is described. Addition of I(2) to 1-4 gives complexes [(R(F))(2)M(II)(μ-PPh(2))(μ-I)Pd(II){PPh(2)(C(13)H(8)N)}] (M = M' = Pt, 6; M = Pt, M' = Pd, 7; M = M' = Pd, 8; M = Pd, M' = Pt 10) which contain the aminophosphane PPh(2)(C(13)H(8)N) ligand formed through a Ph(2)P/C^N reductive coupling on the mixed valence M(II)-M'(IV) [NBu(4)][(R(F))(2)M(II)(μ-PPh(2))(2)M'(IV)(κ(2),N,C- C(13)H(8)N)I(2)] complexes, which were identified for M(II) = Pd, M'(IV) = Pt (9), and isolated for M(II) = Pt, M'(IV) = Pt (5). Complex 5 showed an unusual dynamic behavior consisting in the exchange of two phenyl groups bonded to different P atoms, as well as a "through space" spin-spin coupling between ortho-F atoms of the pentafluorophenyl rings.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
