Reactions of platinum(II) acetylides with organolithium compounds: formation of lithium-bridged dinuclear platinum(II) complexes and of triorganoplatinate(II) complexes: crystal structure of the complex [Pt2(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh)4(PEt3)2(Bun)2(µ-Li)2]

Abstract

Platinum(II) acetylides of the type trans-[Pt(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CR1)2(PEt3)2](1)(R1= Me, Bun, or Ph) lose one equivalent of PEt3 on treatment with organolithium reagents LiR2(2)(R2= Bun, But, or Ph) in hydrocarbon solvents to give the dinuclear complexes [Pt2(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CR1)4(PEt3)2(R2)2(µ-Li)2](3), containing a PtLi2Pt unit. In the presence of better donors (e.g. Et2O, tetrahydrofuran, or NNNN′-tetramethylethylenediamine) solvation of lithium breaks this dimeric structure leading to the anions (4) of the type trans-[Pt(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CR1)2(PEt3)R2]. Reaction of the anion (4d)(R1= Ph, R2= Bun) with a further equivalent of LiR2(R2= Bun) gave Li(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh) and another anion, cis-[Pt(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh)(PEt3)(Bun)2]. Multinuclear n.m.r. (1H, 7Li, 13C, 31P, and 195Pt) has been used to characterize the highly reactive compounds in solution. The crystal structure of complex (3d)(R1= Ph, R2= Bun) has been determined, which crystallises in space group P21/n, with a= 14.061(4), b= 18.408(4), c= 19.737(7)Å, and Z= 4.
