Synthesis, characterization and structures of cyclic organorhodium complexes of the type [Rh{CH(SO2Ph)CH2CH2YR2CY}L2] (YR2 = PPh2, NMe2; L2 = diphosphine, cyclooctadiene)

Abstract

Reactions of dinuclear chloridorhodium(I) complexes [(RhL2)2(μ-Cl)2] (L2 = PImage ID:c001452d-u1.gifP: Me2P(CH2)2PMe2, dmpe, 7a; Ph2PCH2PPh2, dppm, 7b; Ph2P(CH2)2PPh2, dppe, 7c; Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2, dppp, 7d; L2 = cycloocta-1,5-diene, cod, 5) with lithiated γ-phosphino- and γ-aminofunctionalized propyl phenyl sulfones (Li[CH(SO2Ph)CH2CH2PPh2], 2; Li[CH(SO2Ph)CH2CH2NMe2], 4) led to the formation of organorhodium inner complexes of the type [Rh{CH(SO2Ph)CH2CH2PPh2CP}(PImage ID:c001452d-u2.gifP)] (8a–d), [Rh{CH(SO2Ph)CH2CH2NMe2CN}(PImage ID:c001452d-u3.gifP)] (9a–d), [Rh{CH(SO2Ph)CH2CH2PPh2CP}(cod)]·LiCl (11·LiCl) and [Rh{CH(SO2Ph)CH2CH2NMe2CN}(cod)]·LiCl (12·LiCl), respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 9c·THF, 11 and 12 exhibited in all three compounds a distorted square planar coordination of the rhodium atoms having bidentately coordinated neutral co-ligands (cod, 11, 12; dppe, 9c) and anionic α-phenylsulfonyl γ-phosphinopropyl (κCP; 11) and γ-aminopropyl ligands (κCN; 12, 9c), thus being typical organorhodium inner complexes. Furthermore, organorhodium inner complexes of type 8 were obtained in reactions of the dinuclear chloridobridged rhodium complexes [(RhL2)2(μ-Cl)2] (L2 = PImage ID:c001452d-u4.gifP, 7a–d; cod, 5; (C2H4)2, 6) with the (non-lithiated) γ-phosphinofunctionalized propyl phenyl sulfone PhSO2CH2CH2CH2PPh2 (1) resulting in the formation of complexes having the sulfone κP coordinated ([RhClL2(Ph2PCH2CH2CH2SO2Ph-κP)] (L2 = PImage ID:c001452d-u5.gifP, 10a–d; cod, 13; (C2H4)2, 14) which were deprotonated (10a–d, 13) at the α-C atom with lithium diisopropyl amide (LDA) in a subsequent reaction. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 10c (PImage ID:c001452d-u6.gifP = dppe) revealed the expected square-planar coordination geometry of Rh. The identities of all rhodium complexes have been unambiguously proved by microanalyses and NMR spectroscopy (1H, 13C, 31P).
