Protolytic Stability of (dfepe)Pt(Ph)O2CCF3: Supporting Evidence for a Concerted SE2 Protonolysis Mechanism
摘要:
An extension of prior protonolysis studies of platinum-carbon bonds to Pt-aryl bonds is reported. The protolytic stability of (dfepe)Pt(Ph)(O2CCF3) (dfepe = (C2F5)(2)PCH2CH2P(C2F5)(2)) in trifluoroacetic acid is found to be much less than (dfepe)Pt(Me)(O2CCF3) indicating that a concerted S(E)2 protonolysis mechanism is most likely operative in these electron-poor platinum systems. VT NMR experiments show that benzene coordination to the (dfepe)Pt2+ center in neat fluorosulfonic acid to form (dfepe)pt(eta(6)-C6H6)(2+) at -80 degreesC is competitive with benzene dissociation in this weakly coordinating medium.
