Abstract a , Me;b , Et;c ,n ‐Bu;d ,n ‐Dec;e , Bn;f ,p ‐tolCH2) are combined with (p ‐tol3P)2PtCl2ortrans ‐(p‐ tol3P)2Pt((C≡C)2H)2to give the chelatescis ‐(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)PtCl2(2 a –f , 94–69 %) orcis ‐(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt((C≡C)2H)2(3 a –f , 97–54 %). Complexes3 a –d are also available from2 a –d and excess 1,3‐butadiyne in the presence of CuI (cat.) and excess HNEt2(87–65 %). Under similar conditions,2 and3 react to give the title compounds [(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)[Pt(C≡C)2]4(4 a –f ; 89–14 % (64 % avg)), from which ammonium salts such as the co‐product [H2NEt2]+Cl−are challenging to remove. Crystal structures of4 a ,b show skew rhombus as opposed to square Pt4geometries. The NMR and IR properties of4 a –f are similar to those of mono‐ or diplatinum model compounds. However, cyclic voltammetry gives only irreversible oxidations. As compared to mono‐platinum or Pt(C≡C)2Pt species, the UV‐visible spectra show much more intense and red‐shifted bands. Time dependent DFT calculations define the transitions and principal orbitals involved. Electrostatic potential surface maps reveal strongly negative Pt4C16cores that likely facilitate ammonium cation binding. Analogous electronic properties of Pt3C12and Pt5C20homologs and selected equilibria are explored computationally. -

Abstract A pair of novel Fe‐alkynyl complexes, [FeIII(HMTI)(C2SiEt3)2]ClO4(
2 ) and [FeII(HMTI)(C2SiEt3)(NCCH3)]ClO4(3 ), is described herein. Reaction of Fe(meso ‐HMC)Cl(ClO4)]ClO4(1 ) with lithiated triethylsilylacetylene and subsequent exposure to oxygen yielded the bis‐alkynyl2 containing the dehydrogenated tetraimine macrocycle (HMTI). Reduction of2 by mossy zinc in acetonitrile yielded the mono‐alkynyl3 . The structures of2 and3 were determined using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Analysis of visible absorption and electrochemical data establishes the redox‐active nature of the HMTI macrocycle, and indicates significant interactions between the Fed π and tetraimine π* orbitals. These deductions are further supported by density functional theory calculations. -
null (Ed.)Described herein is the synthesis and characterization of macrocyclic Cr III mono-alkynyl complexes. By using the meso -form of the tetraazamacrocycle HMC (HMC = 5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane), trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 Ph)Cl]OTf ( 1a ), trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 Np)Cl]OTf ( 2a ), trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 C 6 H 4 t Bu)Cl]OTf ( 3a ), and trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 (3,5-Cl 2 C 6 H 3 ))Cl]OTf ( 4a ) complexes have been realized. These complexes were synthesized in high yield through the reaction of trans -[Cr( meso -HMC)(C 2 Ar) 2 ]OTf ( 1b–4b ) with stoichiometric amounts of methanolic HCl. Single crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the trans -stereochemistry and pseudo-octahedral geometry is retained in the desired mono-alkynyl complexes. The absorption spectra of complexes 1a–4a display d–d bands with distinct vibronic progressions that are slightly red shifted from trans -[Cr(HMC)(C 2 Ar) 2 ] + with approximately halved molar extinction coefficients. Time-delayed measurements of the emission spectra for complexes 1a–4a at 77 K revealed phosphorescence with lifetimes ranging between 343 μs ( 4a ) and 397 μs ( 1a ). The phosphorescence spectra of 1a–4a also exhibit more structuring than the bis-alkynyl complexes due to a strengthened vibronic coupling between the Cr III metal center and alkynyl ligands.more » « less

Reactions of {(C 6 F 5 )Pt[S(CH 2 CH 2 -) 2 ](μ-Cl)} 2 and R 3 P yield the bis(phosphine) species trans -(C 6 F 5 )(R 3 P) 2 PtCl [R = Et ( Pt'Cl ), Ph, ( p -CF 3 C 6 H 4 ) 3 P; 88-81 %]. Additions of Pt'Cl and H(C≡C) n H ( n = 1, 2; HNEt 2 , 20 mol % CuI) give Pt'C 2 H (37 %, plus Pt'I , 16 %) and Pt'C 4 H (88 %). Homocoupling of Pt'C 4 H under Hay conditions (O 2 , CuCl, TMEDA, acetone) gives Pt'C 8 Pt' (85 %), but Pt'C 2 H affords only traces of Pt'C 4 Pt' . However, condensation of Pt'C 4 H and Pt'Cl (HNEt 2 , 20 mol % CuI) yields Pt'C 4 Pt' (97 %). Hay heterocouplings of Pt'C 4 H or trans -( p -tol)(Ph 3 P) 2 Pt(C≡C) 2 H ( Pt*C 4 H ) and excess HC≡CSiEt 3 give Pt'C 6 SiEt 3 (76 %) or Pt*C 6 SiEt 3 (89 %). The latter and wet n -Bu 4 N + F - react to yield labile Pt*C 6 H (60 %). Hay homocouplings of Pt*C 4 H and Pt*C 6 H give Pt*C 8 Pt* (64 %) and Pt*C 12 Pt* (64 %). Reaction of trans -(C 6 F 5 )( p -tol 3 P) 2 PtCl ( PtCl ) and HC≡CH (HNEt 2 , 20 mol % CuI) yields only traces of PtC 2 H . However, an analogous reaction with HC≡CSiMe 3 gives PtC 2 SiMe 3 (75 %), which upon treatment with silica yields PtC 2 H (77 %). An analogous coupling of trans -(C 6 F 5 )(Ph 3 P) 2 PtCl with H(C≡C) 2 H gives trans -(C 6 F 5 )(Ph 3 P) 2 Pt(C≡C) 2 H (34 %). Advantages and disadvantages of the various trans -(Ar)(R 3 P) 2 Pt end-groups are analyzed.more » « less

Abstract The silylium‐like surface species [iPr3Si][(RFO)3Al−OSi≡)] activates (N^N)Pd(CH3)Cl (N^N=Ar−N=CMeMeC=N−Ar, Ar=2,6‐bis(diphenylmethyl)‐4‐methylbenzene) by chloride ion abstraction to form [(N^N)Pd−CH3][(RFO)3Al−OSi≡)] (
1 ). A combination of FTIR, solid‐state NMR spectroscopy, and reactions with CO or vinyl chloride establish that1 shows similar reactivity patterns as (N^N)Pd(CH3)Cl activated with Na[B(ArF)4]. Multinuclear13C{27Al} RESPDOR and1H{19F} S‐REDOR experiments are consistent with a weakly coordinated ion‐pair between (N^N)Pd−CH3+and [(RFO)3Al−OSi≡)].1 catalyzes the polymerization of ethylene with similar activities as [(N^N)Pd−CH3]+in solution and incorporates up to 0.4 % methyl acrylate in copolymerization reactions.1 produces polymers with significantly higher molecular weight than the solution catalyst, and generates the highest molecular weight polymers currently reported in copolymerization reactions of ethylene and methylacrylate.
