A series of cobalt(III) complexes containing 2-cyanoethylphosphines, [Co(Me2dtc)2P(CH2CH2CN)nPh3−n}2]BF4 Me2dtc−: N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate; n = 1 (1), 2 (2), and 3 (3)} have been prepared, and their molecular structures in the crystals and in solution have been characterized. X-ray analysis revealed that all complexes isolated as single-crystals were the trans-isomers. The Co–P bond lengths for the 2-cyanoethylphosphines in complexes 1–3 are almost invariant to the number of 2-cyanoethyl substituent groups. Unlike related complexes with other monodentate P-donor ligands, complexes 1–3 in solution showed dissociation and isomerization equilibriums, which were achieved immediately after dissolving the crystals. These characteristic features of the complexes would result from the weak σ-donor and π-acceptor abilities of 2-cyanoethylphosphines. Furthermore, mixing of complex 1 and NaN3 in acetonitrile gave cis-[Co(Me2dtc)2(N3)P(CH2CH2CN)Ph2}] quantitatively, and refluxing the mixture resulted in the phosphine–tetrazolate complex, [Co(Me2dtc)2(Ph2PCH2CH2CN4-κ2P,N1)] (4).
制备了一系列含有2-
氰乙基膦的
钴(III)配合物[Co(Me2dtc)2P(CH2CH2CN)nPh3−n}2]BF4Me2dtc−:
N,N-二甲基二硫代氨基甲酸酯;n=1(1),2(2)和3(3)},并对其晶体和溶液中的分子结构进行了表征。X射线分析表明,所有分离出的单晶配合物均为反式异构体。配合物1-3中2-
氰乙基膦的Co–P键长度几乎不受2-
氰乙基取代基数量的影响。与含有其他单齿P供体
配体的相关配合物不同,溶液中的配合物1-3显示了解离和异构化平衡,这些平衡在晶体溶解后立即实现。这些配合物的特性可能是由于2-
氰乙基膦的弱σ供体和π受体能力所致。此外,将配合物1与NaN3在
乙腈中混合得到了定量的顺式-[Co(Me2dtc)2(N3)P(CH2CH2CN)Ph2}],将混合物回流得到了膦-
四唑配合物[Co(Me2dtc)2(Ph2PCH2CH2CN4-κ2P,N1)](4)。
