Reactions of Cu3(dppm)3(μ3-OH)(ClO4)2 (dppm=bis-(diphenylphosphino) methane) with Soft Heterocumulenes
摘要:
The reaction of [Cu-3(dppm)(3)(mu(3)-OH)](ClO4)(2) (1) with heterocumulenes (X=C=S; X=NPh, NMe and S) has been studied. The mu(3)-OH ligand inserts into PhNCS and MeNCS only in the presence of methanol. Insertion products are formed in accord with earlier observations made with copper(I)-aryloxides. On heating, the insertion products convert to a S bridged cluster [Cu-4(dppm)(4)(mu(4)-S)](ClO4)(2) (8), having a tetrameric core. However, in the reaction with CS2, 1 is converted to 8 even at room temperature in the presence of methanol. On the other hand, the dimeric complex [Cu-2(dppm)(2)(CH3CN)(4)](ClO4)(2), reacts with CS2 to give (diphenylphosphinomethyl)-diphenylphosphine sulfide, Ph2P-CH2-P(=S)Ph-2 (dppmS), which forms the complex [Cu(dppmS)(2)]ClO4 (9). A single crystal X-ray crystallographic study of 9, the first copper(I) complex of dppmS has been taken up to confirm the mono-oxidation of the dppm ligand and the nuclearity of the complex. Reactions of complex 1 with heterocumulenes and with elemental sulfur, are compared. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
