Alternative syntheses and reactivity of platinum(II) terpyridyl acetonitrile complexes
摘要:
New direct syntheses of [Pt(trpy)(NCCH(3))](CF(3)SO(3))(2) 2 (where trpy = 2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine) and [Pt(tBu(3)-trpy)(NCCH(3))](CF(3)SO(3))(2) 3 (where tBu(3)-trpy = 4,4',4"-tri-tert-butyl-2,2':6',2 ''-terpyridine) via the displacement of acetonitrile from [Pt(NCCH(3))(4)](CF(3)SO(3))(2) have been developed. The synthetic utility of 2 was investigated in reactions with triphenylphosphine (PPh(3)), 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide (CN-Xyl), 2,5-dimethyl-2,5-diisocyanohexane (TM4), and tert-butyl isocyanide (CN-tBu). Whereas the expected substitution products were observed for reactions with PPh(3), CN-Xyl, and CN-tBu, dealkylation of TM4 occurred to afford [Pt(trpy)(CN)](CF(3)SO(3)) 6. The structures of [Pt(trpy)L](2+) dications show little intermolecular interactions in the solid state, with the exception of the tBu(3)-trpy complex 3 which exists as head-to-tail dimers with a Pt-Pt distance of 3.29 angstrom. The cyano product 6 was found to stack in infinite chains of cations with a Pt-Pt distance of 3.45 angstrom. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
