Compounds containing weak, non-covalent interactions to the metal in the backbone of 1,1′-bis(phosphino)metallocene ligands
摘要:
The reactions of Na[BArF] (BArF = tetrakis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)borate) with a series of [Pd(dpEMc)Cl-2] (dpEMc = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ruthenocene (dppr), 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)osmocene (dppo) or 1,1'-bis(diphenylarsino)ferrocene (dpaf)) compounds were examined. The reaction of Na[BArF] with [Pd(dppMc)Cl-2] (dppMc = dppr or dppo) resulted in the formation of the corresponding chloride-bridged dimers, [Pd(dppMc)(mu-Cl)](2)(2+), which were structurally characterized. However, these dimers appear to be unstable in CH2Cl2 and partially (Ru) or fully (Os) convert into the corresponding monomers, [Pd(dppMc)Cl](+), which are proposed to have a weak, non-covalent M-Pd (M = Ru or Os) interaction. Similar compounds, [Pd(dppo)PPh3](2+) and [Pt(dppMc)PPh3](2+) (M = Fe (1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf)) or Os (dppo)), were also prepared and structurally characterized. These compound also exhibit weak, non-covalent M-Pd/Pt interactions. In addition, the electrochemical properties of these compounds were examined by cyclic voltammetry. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Bidentate ligands are, needless to say, pivotal in organometallic chemistry. In contrast to phosphorusligands, practical synthetic protocols for the arsenic analogues remain to be developed, resul...
