Unsaturated σ-hydrocarbyl transition-metal complexes. Part 2. Synthesis and reactions of vinylplatinum complexes and a comparison with analogous fluorovinyl and alkynyl complexes

Abstract

Alkenyl (CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2 or CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CF2) or alkynyl (C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh) derivatives of trimethyltin are shown to be superior to lithium or magnesium reagents for the synthesis of corresponding mono-organoplatinum(II) species by metathesis (L = SnMe3R +cis-[PtCl2L2]trans-[PtRClL2]+ SnMe3Cl tertiary phosphine). The reactivity order for SnMe3R is R = C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh > CF[double bond, length as m-dash]CF2 > CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2. This order is also found for oxidative addition of SnMe3R to Pt0 to give cis-[PtRL2(SnMe3)]. When the latter complex (R = CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2) reacts with X2 or MeX further oxidative addition occurs exclusively at the platinum centre. Aromatic isonitriles (R′NC)co-ordinate to the platinum and give insertion products trans-[Pt{C(CH[double bond, length as m-dash]CH2)= NR′}ClL2] on heating or carbene complexes with NBunH2. The alkynyl trans-[Pt(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh)ClL2] also forms 1 :1 adducts with R′NC and carbene complexes therefrom, but no insertion products. Spectroscopic data for the new complexes are presented.
