Cyclometallation of 3-phenyl-6-p-toluidinopyridazine forming a six-membered auracycle and a five-membered palladacycle certified by X-ray analysis
摘要:
3-Phenyl-6-p-toluidinopyridazine (abbreviated as Hptp) was prepared as an ambidentate substrate of cyclometallation. Sodium tetrachloroaurate(III), gold(III) bromide, lithium tetrachloropalladate(II), and rhodium(III) chloride cyclometallated Hptp to give [Au(ptp)Cl-2], [Au(ptp)Br-2] [Pd(ptp)Cl], and [Rh(ptp)(2)Cl], respectively. These complexes and [Pd(ptp)Cl(PBu3)] (PBu3 = tri-n-butylphosphine) were characterized spectroscopically. The square-planar structures of [Au(ptp)Br-2]. (CH3)(2)SO and [Pd(ptp)Cl(PBu3)]. CH3OH were determined by X-ray analysis. Cycloauration preferred forming a six-membered metallacycle while cyclopalladation and cyclorhodation formed five-membered metallacycles.
