摘要:
The bidentate pyrazole-donor ligand 1,1-bis(pyrazol-1-ylmethyl)ethene, [(pz)CH2]2C=CH2, may be synthesized in high yield on reaction of the readily obtained potassium pyrazolide with commercially available (ClCH2)2C=CH2. Reaction of the ligand with [{PtMe2(SEt2)}2], followed by addition of iodomethane, gives the platinum(IV) complex fac-[PtIMe3{[(pz)CH2]2C=CH2-N,N'}]. Proton NMR and X-ray structural studies show that the eight-membered chelate ring PtNNC3NN adopts a configuration in which the pyrazole rings are in different environments, forming angles of 26.0(3) and 38.2(3)-degrees with the 'PtC2N2' mean plane. Thus, the four methylene protons are also in different environments, as are the PtMe groups trans to pyrazole groups. The eight-membered chelate ring is fluxional, undergoing inversion with DELTA(G)double dagger almost-equal-to 15 kcal mol-1 (almost-equal-to 63 kJ mol-1) at 10-degrees-C.
