Solid (PCY3)(2)Ni(CO2) (1) reacts with dioxygen to afford the peroxocarbonate Complex (PCY3)(2)Ni(CO2) (3). The use of labelled (CO2)-C-13, (CO2-)-O-18 O-18(2), coupled with a FTIR study of both the gas-phase in equilibrium with the solid and the solid resulting complex, allows to propose the reaction mechanism that implies CO2 deco-ordination, O-2, co-ordination, and CO2 insertion into the O-O bond of the newly formed, reactive (PCy3)(2)Ni(O-2) complex 2. A normal mode analysis substantiates the band assignment and the proposed mechanism. Peroxocarbonate (3) exhibits a C-13 resonance at 166.6 ppm and a single P-31 signal at 43.1 ppm below 200 K. The reactivity of the peroxo-group as one-oxygen transfer agent prevents the spectroscopic characterisation of 3 in solution at room temperature. An out-of-sphere phosphine can be easily oxidised. A gaseous olefin. mono-ene (ethylene) or diene (allene), added to 3. makes easier the deco-ordination process of one phosphine ligand, that is then oxidised to phosphine oxide. The gaseous olefin itself is not oxidised until free phosphine is present in the medium. In solution, styrene is oxidised through a two or one-oxygen transfer pathway, according to the reaction condition. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science.
