摘要:
Chiral and achiral p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene bisphosphites (L-1-L-3) have been synthesized by the reaction of p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene and the phosphorodichloridites, ROPCl2 [R = (1S,2R,5R)-(+)-iso-menthyl (L-1), ( 1R,2S,5R)-(-)-menthyl(L-2) or C6H4Bu'-4(L-3)]. These bisphosphites function as chelating ligands in palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes which are formed in good yields by the reaction of PdCl2(PhCN)(2). MCl2(COD) (M = Pd or Pt) or PdMeCl(COD) with the respective calix[4]arene bisphosphite. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies performed oil the complexes [PdCl2(L-1)], [PdCl2(L-2)], [PdCl2(L-3)] and [PtCl2(L-3)] reveal a near square planar geometry around the metal with the two chloride ligands in a cis disposition. The crystal packing in the complexes [PdCl2(L-1)] and [PdCl2(L-2)], which crystallize in the chiral (116,22) space group, shows different hydrophobic channels with intermolecular C-H Cl hydrogen bonding. The complexes [PdCl2(L-3)] and [PtCl2(L-3)] are isostructual and the molecules in the crystal lattice are linked by intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.
