Reactions of the platinum(IV) complexes PtMe(3)(OCMe(2))(3) (1(BF(4))), [(PtMe(3)I)(4)] (2), and [PtMe(3)I(py)(2)] (3) with the N,N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3-dimethylimidazol-2-ylidene (N,N-hc, 4) resulted in a rapid reductive elimination of ethane, yielding platinum(II) complexes PtMe(N,N-hc)(3) (7), trans-[PtMeI(N,N-hc)(2)] (8), and cis-PtMe(py)(N,N-hc)(2) (10), respectively. Subsequent substitution of the iodo ligand in 8 by pyridine resulted in the formation of trans-PtMe(py)(N,N-hc)(2) (9(CF(3)COO)). 9 and 10 are stereoisomers. In contrast to this, the analogous reaction of PtMe(3)(OCMe(2))(3) (1(BF(4))) with the N,O-heterocyclic carbene 3-methyloxazol-2-ylidene (N,O-hc, 5) was found to yield the tris(carbene)trimethylplatinum(IV) compound PtMe(3)(N,O-hc)(3) (12(BF(4))), which is thermally stable up to 218 degrees C in the solid state. Furthermore, reactions of [{PtMe(3)(acac)}(2)] (15) with the N,X-heterocyclic carbenes (X = N, O, S; N,S-hc = 3-methylthiazol-2-ylidene, 6) resulted in the formation of monocarbenetrimethylplatinum(IV) complexes [PtMe(3)(acac)(N,X-hc)] (X = N, 16; X = O, 17; X = S, 18), which were found to be stable against reductive C-C elimination at ambient temperature. Reactions of 16 and 17 with 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of H(BF(4)) yielded cationic monocarbeneplatinum(IV) complexes, which were isolated as tetrafluoroborate salts PtMe(3)(bpy)(N,X-hc) (X = N, 19(BF(4)); X = O, 20(BF(4))). The compounds have been fully characterized analytically and NMR spectroscopically, and for the bis(carbene)platinum(II) compound 9(CF(3)COO) as well as the monocarbeneplatinum(IV) compounds 16 and 20(BF(4)) by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. DFT calculations of mono-, bis-, and tris(carbene)trimethylplatinum(IV) complexes and their propensity to reductive eliminate ethane were performed. In accordance with the experimental findings, a much higher stability of the tris(N,O-hc)- compared with the tris(N,N-hc)trimethylplatinum(IV) complexes against reductive ethane elimination was found, which could be ascribed mainly to a higher steric demand of the N,N-hc ligand.
铂(IV)配合物PtMe(3)(OCMe(2))(3)(1(BF(4)))、[(PtMe(3)I)(4)](2)和[PtMe(3)I(py)(2)](3)与N,N - 杂环卡宾1,3 - 二甲基咪唑 - 2 - 亚基(N,N - hc,4)反应,迅速发生乙烷的还原消除反应,分别生成铂(II)配合物[PtMe(N,N - hc)(3)]⁺(7)、反式 - [PtMeI(N,N - hc)(2)](8)和顺式 - [PtMe(py)(N,N - hc)(2)]⁺(10)。随后,8中的碘配体被吡啶取代,生成反式 - PtMe(py)(N,N - hc)(2)(9(CF(3)COO))。9和10是立体异构体。与此相反,发现PtMe(3)(OCMe(2))(3)(1(BF(4)))与N,O - 杂环卡宾3 - 甲基恶唑 - 2 - 亚基(N,O - hc,5)的类似反应生成三(卡宾)三甲基铂(IV)化合物PtMe(3)(N,O - hc)(3)(12(BF(4))),该化合物在固态下热稳定性高达218℃。此外,[{PtMe(3)(acac)}(2)](15)与N,X - 杂环卡宾(X = N,O,S;N,S - hc = 3 - 甲基噻唑 - 2 - 亚基,6)反应生成单卡宾三甲基铂(IV)配合物[PtMe(3)(acac)(N,X - hc)](X = N,16;X = O, 17;X = S,18),发现它们在室温下对C - C还原消除稳定。16和17与2,2'-联吡啶(bpy)在化学计量的H(BF(4))存在下反应,生成阳离子单卡宾铂(IV)配合物,以四氟硼酸盐PtMe(3)(bpy)(N,X - hc)(X = N,19(BF(4));X = O,20(BF(4)))形式分离得到。这些化合物已通过元素分析和核磁共振光谱进行了全面表征,对于双(卡宾)铂(II)化合物9(CF(3)COO)以及单卡宾铂(IV)化合物16和20(BF(4))还通过单晶X射线衍射分析进行了表征。对单、双和三(卡宾)三甲基铂(IV)配合物及其还原消除乙烷的倾向进行了密度泛函理论计算。与实验结果一致,发现三(N,O - hc) - 三甲基铂(IV)配合物相对于三(N,N - hc) - 三甲基铂(IV)配合物对乙烷还原消除具有更高的稳定性,这主要归因于N,N - hc配体更高的空间需求。
