The reactions of t-BuPNP and t-BuPCP Pd-II-Me complexes (t-BuPNP = 2,6-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]pyridine and t-BuPCP = 2,6-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]phenyl) with O-2 are described and compared with the reported O-2 reactivity of related Pd-II-Me complexes. [(t-BuPNP)PdMe] Cl was found to react with O-2 upon photolysis resulting in oxidation of the pincer ligand backbone to produce a (t-BuPNO)PdCl complex. In contrast, photolysis of (t-BuPCP)PdMe with O-2 resulted in oxidation of the Pd-Me group to form (t-BuPCP)PdOCO2H. Isotopic labeling, radical initiators, and solvent studies were used to gain insight into the mechanisms of these unusual reactions of late metal alkyls with molecular oxygen.

characterization of anionic, neutral, and cationic hydride complexes of platinum and palladium are reported utilizing the PNP (PNP = 2,6-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) ligand. Comparisons by IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography are made across the series. Evaluation of the metal hydride stretchingfrequencies of the cationic through anionic complexes shows a trend of increasing M–H

A series of cationic, neutral, and anionic Pd-II and Pt-II PNP (PNP = 2,6-bis-(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)pyridine) complexes were synthesized. The neutral, dearomatized complexes [(PNP*)MX] (PNP* = deprotonated PNP; M = Pd, Pt; X = Cl, Me) were prepared by deprotonation of the PNP methylene group of the corresponding cationic complexes [(PNP)MX][Cl] with 1 equiv of base (KN(SiMe3)(2) or (BuOK)-Bu-t), while the anionic complexes [(PNP**)MX]Y--(+) (PNP** = double-deprotonated PNP; Y = Li, K) were prepared by deprotonation of the two methylene groups of the corresponding cationic complexes with either 2 equiv of KN(SiMe3)(2) or an excess of MeLi. While the reaction of [(PNP)PtCl][Cl] with an excess of MeLi led only to the anionic complex without chloride substitution, reaction of [(PNP)PdCl][Cl] with an excess of MeLi led to the methylated anionic complex [(PNP**)PdMe]Li--(+). NMR studies, X-ray structures, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the neutral complexes have a "broken" aromatic system with alternating single and double bonds, and the deprotonated arm is bound to the ring by an exocyclic C=C double bond. The anionic complexes are best described as a pi system comprising the ring carbons conjugated with the exocyclic double bonds of the deprotonated "arms". The neutral complexes are reversibly protonated to their cationic analogues by water or methanol. The thermodynamic parameters Delta H, Delta S, and Delta G for the reversible protonation of the neutral complexes by methanol were obtained.
