The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Complexes [{Pt2(μ3-S)2(dppp) 2}Pt(cod)]Cl2 (1) and [{Pt2(μ3-S) 2(cod)2}Pt(dppp)]Cl2 (3), where dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane and cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, have been synthesized by reacting [Pt2(μ-S)2(dppp)2] and [PtCl2(cod)] (1:1), and [Pt(SH)2(dppp)] and [PtCl 2-(cod)] (1:2), respectively. Complex 1 has not allowed substitution of cod by the chelating dppp ligand. Remarkably, the reaction of 1 with methoxide anion yields [{Pt2(μ3-S)2(dppp) 2}Pt(C8H11)]Cl (2), which entails deprotonation of cod instead of the nucleophilic attack of CHaO- on the olefmic bond. In addition, replacement of the deprotonated cod ligand in 2. by dppp has not been achieved. A combination of experimental data and DFT calculations in 2 is consistent with the binding of C8H11- to platinum(II) by means of one η2-alkene and one η1-allyl bond. The structures of 1 and 2 have been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Analogous to 1, the reaction of 3 with sodium methoxide causes the subsequent deprotonation of the two cod ligands, yielding [{Pt2(μ3-S)2(cod)(C8H 11)}Pt(dppp)]Cl (4) and [{Pt2(μ3-S) 2(C8H11)2}Pt(dppp)] (5). In contrast to 1, replacement of cod by dppp in 3 and 4 leads to 1 and 2, respectively. Also, the substitution of one C8H11- ligand by dppp in 5 leads to 2. On the basis of DFT calculations, with inclusion of solvent effects, the factors governing the chemical behavior of the {Pt(cod)}2+ fragment bonded to a [Pt2(μ-S) 2L4] (L2 = dppp, cod, or C8H 11-) metalloligand are discussed.
