Forder, Robin James (1996) Transition metal complexes of phosphine and mixed phosphathia ligands. University of Southampton, Doctoral Thesis.
Abstract
A range of co-ordination complexes have been synthesised and characterised.
The assigned formulae of the tetradentate phosphathia and phospha complexes are: [M(L)Y2 (M = Ni; Pd, Pt; Y = BF4 {Ni}, PF6 {Pd, Pt}), [PtX2(L)](PF6)2 (X =Cl, Br), [RuCl2(L)], [RuCl2(Tetraphos-1)], [CoX(L)]PF6 (X = Cl, Br), [CoX2(L)]Y (X = Cl, Br; Y = Cl/CoCl4, Br/CoBr4), [MCl2(L)]PF6(M = Rh, Ir), [RhCl2(Tetraphos-1)]PF6 and [IrCl2(Tetraphos-1)]PF6 (L = Ph2P(CH2)2S(CH2)2S(CH2)2PPh2, Ph2P(CH2)2S(CH2)3S(CH2)2PPh2). X-ray crystal structures were collected and solved for trans-[Pt{Ph2P(CH2)2S(CH2)3S(CH2)2PPh2}](PF6)2.MeCN, DL-cis-α-[RuCl2{Ph2P(CH2)2S(CH2)2S(CH2)2PPh2}].0.75Et2O, DL-cis-α-[CoCl2{Ph2P(CH2)2S(CH2)3S(CH2)2PPh2}]2[CoCl4].4H2O, DL-cis-α-[RhCl2{Ph2P(CH2)2S(CH2)2S(CH2)2PPh2}]PF6.CH2Cl2.
The two P2S2 ligands and Tetraphos-1 co-ordinate fully to a range of transition metal ions. The favoured geometry of the octahedral complexes is DL-cis-α.
The assigned formulae of the secondary and primary phosphine complexes are: [MX2(L)4] (M = Ru, Os; X = Cl, Br; L = PPhH2, PPh2H), [OsX2(PCy2H)4] (X = Cl, Br), [NiCl2(PCy2H)2], [MCl(PCy2H)3]PF6 (M = Pd, Pt), [Ni{PhHP(CH2)2PPhH}2]Cl2, [M(L)2](PF6)2 (M = Pd, Pt) and [RuCl2(L)2] (L = PhHP(CH2)nPPhH {n = 2, 3}) X-ray crystal structures were collected and solved for trans-{RuCl2(PPhH2)4], trans-[RuBr2(PPhH2)4], trans-[OsCl2(PPh2H)4].CH2Cl2 and trans-[OsBr2(PPh2H)4].Et2O.
The secondary and primary monodentate and secondary bidentate phosphines co-ordinate without deprotonation. The octahedral complexes prefer a trans geometry.
The complexes have been characterised with 31P, 195Pt, 59Co, 103Rh and 1H NMR spectroscopies, X-ray crystallography, IR and UV/Vis spectroscopies, FAB and ES+ mass spectrometries, cyclic voltammetry and elemental microanalysis.
