Title: Introduction of a (Ph 3 P) 2 Pt group into the rim of an open-cage fullerene by breaking a carbon–carbon bond
Treatment of an open-cage fullerene, designated as MMK-9, with (Ph 3 P) 4 Pt in toluene solution at room temperature allows a (PPh 3 ) 2 Pt unit to be incorporated into the rim of the cage so that it becomes an integral part of the carbon cage skeleton. The structure of the adduct has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and reveals that the platinum atom has planar PtC 2 P 2 coordination, rather than the usual η 2 -bonding to an intact C–C double bond of the fullerene.  more » « less

    We have investigated spin related processes in fullerene C 60 devices using several experimental techniques, which include magnetic field effect of photocurrent and electroluminescence in C 60 -based diodes; spin polarized carrier injection in C 60 -based spin-valves; and pure spin current generation in NiFe/C 60 /Pt trilayer devices. We found that the ‘curvature-related spin orbit coupling’ in C 60 plays a dominant role in the obtained spin-related phenomena. The measured magneto-photocurrent and magneto-electroluminescence responses in C 60 diodes are dominated by the difference in the g -values of hole and electron polarons in the fullerene molecules. We also obtained giant magneto-resistance of ∼10% at 10 K in C 60 spin-valve devices, where spin polarized holes are injected into the C 60 interlayer. In addition, using the technique of spin-pumping in NiFe/C 60 /Pt trilayer devices with various C 60 interlayer thicknesses we determined the spin diffusion length in C 60 films to be 13 ± 2 nm at room temperature.

    Abstract The overarching goal of this study is to effect the elimination of platinum from adducts withcis–C≡C−Pt−C≡C‐ linkages, thereby generating novel conjugated polyynes. Thus, the bis(hexatriynyl) complextrans‐(p‐tol3P)2Pt((C≡C)3H)2is treated with 1,3‐diphosphines R2C(CH2PPh2)2to generate (R2C(CH2PPh2)2)2Pt((C≡C)3H)2(14; R=c,n‐Bu;e,p‐tolCH2). These condense with the diiodide complexes R2C(CH2PPh2)2PtI2(9 a,c) in the presence of CuI (cat.) and excess HNEt2to give the title macrocycles [(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt(C≡C)3]4(16 c,e) as adducts of the byproduct [H2NEt2]+I−(30–66 %). DOSY NMR experiments establish that this association is maintained in solution, but NaOAc removes the ammonium salt. The bis(triethylsilylpolyynyl) complexes (n‐Bu2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt((C≡C)nSiEt3)2(n=2, 3) are synthesized analogously to14 c. They react with I2at rt to give mainly the diiodide complex9 cand the coupling product Et3Si(C≡CC≡C)nSiEt3. The possibility of competing reactions giving IC≡C species is investigated. Analogous reactions of the Pt4C24macrocycle16 calso give9 c, but no sp13C NMR signals or mass spectrometric Cxz+ions (x=24–100) could be detected. It is proposed that some cyclo[24]carbon is generated, but then rapidly converts to other forms of elemental carbon. No cyclotetracosane (C24H48) is detected when this sequence is carried out in the presence of PtO2and H2.

Similar reactions of 3 , 7 , 10 , and 4 give all- trans -AcS[(R 3 P) 2 Pt(CC) 4 ] n Pt(PR 3 ) 2 SAc (76–91%). The crystal structures of 3 , 17 , and 12 are determined. The first exhibits a chlorine–chlorine distance of 17.42 Å; those in 10 and 7 are estimated as 30.3 Å and 43.1 Å.

    Abstract Actinide diatomic molecules are ideal models to study elusive actinide multiple bonds, but most of these diatomic molecules have so far only been studied in solid inert gas matrices. Herein, we report a charged U≡N diatomic species captured in fullerene cages and stabilized by the U-fullerene coordination interaction. Two diatomic clusterfullerenes, viz. UN@Cs(6)-C82and UN@C2(5)-C82, were successfully synthesized and characterized. Crystallographic analysis reveals U-N bond lengths of 1.760(7) and 1.760(20) Å in UN@Cs(6)-C82and UN@C2(5)-C82. Moreover, U≡N was found to be immobilized and coordinated to the fullerene cages at 100 K but it rotates inside the cage at 273 K. Quantum-chemical calculations show a (UN)2+@(C82)2−electronic structure with formal +5 oxidation state (f1) of U and unambiguously demonstrate the presence of a U≡N bond in the clusterfullerenes. This study constitutes an approach to stabilize fundamentally important actinide multiply bonded species.

    Abstract Reactions oftrans‐(C6F5)(p‐tol3P)2Pt(C≡C)nSiEt3(PtC2nSi;n=5, 7, 9) and excessPtClin the presence of wetn‐Bu4N+F−(to effect protodesilylation) under Sonogashira‐type conditions (CuCl, base, other additives) afford the title compoundsPtC10Pt,PtC14Pt, andPtC18Ptin 42–32 % yields. A four‐fold substitution of the phosphine ligands inPtC10Ptby PEt3affordsPt'C10Pt’(78 %), and a Sonogashira reaction ofPt'C2HandPt'ClaffordsPt'C2Pt’(68 %). The analogous reaction withPtC2SiandPtClis unsuccessful, presumably for steric reasons. The crystal structures ofPtC10Pt,PtC14Pt,Pt'C10Pt′, andPt'C2Pt’exhibit a number of interesting trends and features. Certain sp chain extension reactions that lead to or employ the precursorsPtC10Si,PtC12Si,PtC14Si, andPtC18Sisometimes give byproducts derived from C2loss, and possible origins are discussed. Related phenomena have been reported by others in the course of synthesizing extended conjugated polyynes.
