Preparation and reactions of palladium(II) complexes with C2-bonded heteroaromatic ligands trans[PdCl(RN)(PPh3)2] (RN = 2-pyridyl, 2-pirazyl, 2-pyrimidyl group). A new reaction pathway in the insertion of isocyanides into the Pdc bond of trans-[PdXR(L)2] compounds

Abstract The complexes trans -[PdCl(R N )(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (I) [R N = 2-pyridyl (2-Py), 2-pyrazyl (2-pyz), 2-pyrimidyl (2-pym) group] have been prepared in high yield by deprotonation with NEt 3 of the corresponding cationic compounds trans [PdCl(R N H) (PPh 3 ) 2 ] + (R N H = N -protonated C 2 -heteroaromatic ligand) in the presence of an excess of PPh 3 . In chlorinated solvents, complexes I undergo a slow reversible dimerization into the binuclear derivatives [PdCl(μ-R N )(PPh 3 )] 2 (II) (μ-R N = C 2 , N 1 -bridging ligand). From the 31 P NMR spectra in 1,2-dichloroethane the following dissociation constants were obtained: 1.9 mol 1 −1 (R N = 2-py), 5.1 × 10 −2 (2-pym), 6.6 × 10 −3 (2-pyz). …

PREPARATION AND REACTIONS OF 2-PYRIDYLPLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES [PTCL(C5H4N-C2)(TERTIARY PHOSPHINE)2] - COMPOUNDS WITH A MARKEDLY NUCLEOPHILIC PYRIDINE NITROGEN ATOM

Abstract The 2-pyridyl complex trans -[PtCl(C 5 H 4 N- C 2 )(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (I) can be prepared in high yield by oxidative addition of 2-chloropyridine to [Pt(PPh 3 ) 4 ]. The reaction of I with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane yields the cis derivative [PtCl(C 4 5 H 4 N- C 2 )(dppe)] (II). In polar solvents, the latter rearranges to the binuclear cationic complex [Pt(μ-C 5 H 4 N- C 2 , N )(dppe)] 2 Cl 2 . The reaction of I with [PdCl(η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )] 2 (1/0.5 molar ratio) gives the products [PtCl(μ-C 5 H 4 N- C 2 , N )(PPh 3 )] 2 (IV) and [PdCl(η 3 -2-MeC 3 H 4 )(PPh 3 )]. 31 P NMR monitoring of the reaction suggests that PPh 3 transfer occurs in a binuclear platinum/palladium intermediate…

Coordination properties of imino(2-pyridyl)methylpalladium(II) compounds. Preparation and thermal rearrangement of binuclear adducts with palladium(II) and platinum(II) chlorides

Abstract The imino(2-pyridyl)methylpalladium(II) compound py-2-C(R′)NR (R = C 6 H 4 OMe-p, R′ = trans-PdCl(PPh 3 ) 2 ) reacts with [PdCl 2 (CH 2 CHPh)] 2 , [PdCl 2 - (NCMe) 2 ], and K[PtCl 3 (CH 2 CH 2 )] to give binuclear complexes [MCl 2 {py-2- C(R′)NR}] (M = Pd, Pt), in which the α-diimino group acts as a chelating bidentate ligand. In hot 1,2-dichloroethane, these complexes undergo a PPh 3 and chloride ligand exchange at rates which depend markedly on the metal M (Pd ⪢ Pt), to yield the new derivatives [MCl(PPh 3 ){py-2-C(cis-PdCl 2 (PPh 3 ))NR}]. The ligand exchange is followed by a much slower decomposition to [MCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 2 ]. Labile intermediates of the same type, [MCl(PPh …

N-protonated 2-pyridylnickel(II) complexes insertion of isocyanides into the nickel2-pyridyl bond

The reaction of the binuclear complex [NiCl(μ-2-py)(PPh3)]2 (μ-2-py = μ-C5H4N-C2,N) with the phosphines L (L = PPh3, PMePh2, PMe2Ph or PEt3) or dppe (= 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) in the presence of HClO4 yields the N-protonated 2-pyridyl derivatives trans-[NiCl(2-pyH)(L)2]ClO4 or [NiCl(2-pyH)(dppe)] ClO4 (2-pyH = C5H5N-C2) with a square-planar coordination around the nickel(II) center. These products are largely associated through hydrogen bonding between the NH group and the perchlorate anion, both in the solid and in chlorinated solvents. The configuration in solution has been studied by 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. In the complex trans-[NiCl(2-pyH)(PMe2Ph)2]ClO4, the planar 2-pyH…
