摘要:
Treatment of [Ir(CO)(PPh3)(âPNMeâ)] (âPNMeâ = 2-Ph2PC6H4NMeâ) with phenylacetylene resulted in oxidative addition and opening of the chelate ring to afford mono- and bis-(alkynyl) derivatives, [IrH(CCPh)(CO)(PPh3)(âPNMeâ)] 1 and [IrH(CCPh)2(CO)(PPh3)(η1-âPN(Me)Hâ)] 2, respectively. Complex 2 exists as two isomers with trans-located phosphane ligands and cis- or trans-coordinated alkynyl groups. The minimum values of the spinâlattice relaxation times, T1(min), observed for the hydride ligands of the two isomers ruled out the possibility of short IrH· · ·HN contacts in 2. Combination of [Ir(CO)(PPh3)(âPNMeâ)] with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (dmad) gave the irida(III)cyclopropene-like complex [Ir{C2(CO2Me)2}(CO)(PPh3)(âPNMeâ)] 3 as the expected 1â¶1 adduct. In contrast, [Rh(CO)(PPh3)(âPNMeâ)] and dmad interacted by insertion of the activated alkyne into the RhâN bond, forming the seven-membered metallaheterocycle [Rh{C(CO2Me)C(CO2Me)N(Me)C6H4PPh2-2}(CO)(PPh3)] 4. [Ir(CO)(PPh3)(âPNHâ)] (âPNHâ = 2-Ph2PC6H4NHâ) and dmad reacted to initially produce a mixture of metallacyclic [Ir{C2(CO2Me)2}(CO)(PPh3)(âPNHâ)] 5 and unchanged starting materials. Subsequent treatment with methanol resulted in the formation of the iridium(III) complex [Ir{C(O)OMe}{C(CO2Me)CH[C(O)OMe]}(PPh3)(âPNHâ)] 6, which X-ray crystallography showed to contain a chelating vinyl ligand featuring substantial carbenoid character.
