摘要:
A methylpalladium chloride complex bearing a biphenyl-based bulky phosphine ligand, 'Bu2P(biphenyl-2-yl) (1), namely [Pd(1)(Me)Cl](2) (=8), was synthesized by the reaction of (cod)Pd(Mc)Cl with 1. A following reaction of 8 with AgOTf gave the corresponding triflate complex, Pd(1)(Me)OTf (=9). These complexes were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallographic study. In the solid state of 8, biphenyl-based phosphine ligand 1 played a role of monodentate phosphine ligand with a possible weak eta(1)-coordination from the phenyl ring at T-position of 1. On the other hand, phosphine ligand 1 in 9 showed a bidentate coordination mode consist of sigma-donation of the phosphine and eta(2)-coordination of the phenyl ring at 1 '- and 2 '-positions. Natural bond orbital (NBO) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) calculations also supported the existence of these weak interactions. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
