Novel Binding Modes and Hemilability in Atropisomeric Phosphino−Amino Palladium Complexes
摘要:
Two new allyl complexes of palladium bearing the atropisomeric ligands 2-(diphenylphosphino)-2'-(dimethylamino)biphenyl (L-1) and 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-2'-(dimethylamino)biphenyl (L-2) have been prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Their dynamic behavior as well as their structural characteristics in solution have been elucidated by the use of NMR techniques. Of particular interest, Pd-N bond rupture occurs with a low barrier (< 10 kcal/mol) in the L-1 complex; however, this does not provide a facile pathway for atropisomerization of the ligand. A coordination mode involving eta(2) binding of carbon atoms in the (dimethylamino)phenyl moiety was also established for the dicyclohexylphosphino analogue L-2.
