The reaction of [MCl2(NCMe)(2)] (M = Pd or Pt) with 2 molar equiv of MeC(CH2ER)(3) (E = Se, R = Me; E = Te, R = Me or Ph) and 2 molar equiv of TlPF6 affords the his ligand complexes [M{MeC(CH2ER)(3)}(2)][PF6](2).

Abstract

The reaction of [MCl2(NCMe)(2)] (M = Pd or Pt) with 2 molar equiv of MeC(CH2ER)(3) (E = Se, R = Me; E = Te, R = Me or Ph) and 2 molar equiv of TlPF6 affords the his ligand complexes [M{MeC(CH2ER)(3)}(2)][PF6](2). The crystal structure of [Pt{MeC(CH2SeMeMe)(3)}(2)][PF6](2) (C16H36F12P2PtSe6, a = 12.272(10) Angstrom, b = 18.563(9) Angstrom, c 15.285(7) Angstrom beta = 113.18(3)degrees monoclinic, P2(1/n), Z = 4) confirms distorted square planar Se-4 coordination at Pt(II), derived from two bidentate tripod selenoethers with the remaining arm not coordinated and directed away from the metal center. Solution NMR studies indicate that these species are fluxional and that the telluroether complexes are rather unstable in solution. The octahedral bis tripod complexes [Ru{MeC(CH2SMe)(3)}(2)][CF3-SO3](2) and [Ru{MeC(CH2TePh)(3)}(2)][CF3SO3](2) are obtained front [Ru(dmf)(6)][CF3SO3](3) and tripod ligand in EtOH solution.
