摘要:
The novel bulky and basic tetradentate ligand P(CH2CH2PCy2)3 (PP3Cy) is synthesized by the LiN(i-Pr)2-Catalyzed addition reaction of dicyclohexylphosphine (HPCy2) to P(CH=CH2)3. Treatment of RuCl2(PPh3)3 with PP3Cy produces the five-coordinate square-pyramidal complex [RuCl(PP3CY)]Cl, Which is converted into [RuCl(PP3Cy)]BPh4 when treated with NaBPh4. Similarly, FeCl2 reacts with PP3CY to give [FeCl(PP3CY)]Cl. The structure of the tetraphenylborate salt [FeCI(PP3CY)] BPh4 is trigonal bipyramidal around Fe(II); crystals are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 12.699(4) angstrom, b = 29.046(16) angstrom, c = 17.026(7) angstrom, beta = 103.14(3)-degrees, and V = 6116(5) angstrom3 for Z = 4; R = 0.065. Reaction of [RuCl(PP3Cy)]Cl with excess NaBH4 in THF yields mer-RuH(eta2-BH4)(eta3-PP3Cy.BH3), where the tetraphosphine is bound via three P atoms to ruthenium and the BH3 is bound to a dangling terminal PCY2 group of the tetraphosphine. The monohydride complex RuHCl(PP3Cy) is obtained from the reaction of [RuCl(PP3CY)]Cl with excess NaOMe in refluxing THF. The eta2-dihydrogen complex[RuH(eta2-H2)(PP3CY)]BPh4 is synthesized by treating [RuCl(PP3CY)]BPh4 with 1 equiv of NaBH4 under an atmosphere of dihydrogen. The analogous iron complex is also described. The nonclassical structures of [MH(eta2-H2)(PP3CY)]BPh4 (M = Fe, Ru) are established by H-1, P-31, and T1 NMR measurements and the observation of a 1J(HD) coupling constant of 28 Hz in the isotopomer [RuD(HD)(PP3-Cy)]+. Despite the steric bulk of the ligand, the complexes adopt an octahedral geometry, [MH(H2)(PP3CY)]+, instead of a trigonal-bipyramidal ligand geometry with an H3 ligand.
