Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of oxo and phenylimido Re(V), Re(III) and Ni(II) complexes with the 2-[bis(ethoxyethyl)phosphino]phenolato ligand and derivatives
摘要:
2-[Bis(ethoxyethyl)phosphino]phenol P-1-OH reacts in basic refluxing solvents with ReOCl3(PPh3)(2), in a 2/1 molar ratio, to give the green ReOCl(P-1-O)(2) complex. Structure elucidation by P-31 NMR is consistent with a cis-PP "twisted" octahedral complex, which is the preferred conformation on electronic grounds. The complex is unique in toluene while several species were present in ethanol. When the reaction is performed with Re(NPh)Cl-3(PPh3)(2), a mixture of trans-PP (major) and cis-PP(minor) species in a 3/1 ratio is obtained. These geometric isomers were distinguished by their (2)J(PP) coupling constants. Only cis-PP-Re(NPh)Cl(P-1-O)(2), less soluble, could be isolated and its molecular structure determined by physicochemical measurements. This is the first example of cis-PP phosphinophenolato complex with the [ReNPh](3+) core, thus illustrating the importance of the steric demand of the phosphine substituent. Reaction of P-1-OH with NiCl2 gives Ni(P-1-O)(2) as an orange oily solid with a cis-PP square planar structure. This structure is the most probable based on the P-31, C-13 NMR data.
