Description
Summary:The reactivity of the phosphinito bridged Pt( i ) complex [(PHCy 2 )Pt 1 (μ-PCy 2 ){κ 2 P , O -μ-P(O)Cy 2 }Pt 2 (PHCy 2 )]( Pt-Pt ) ( 1 ) towards Au( i ) and Ag( i ) electrophiles was explored. Treatment of 1 with AuCl yielded the dichloro Pt( ii ) complex [(Cl)(PHCy 2 )Pt(μ-PCy 2 ){κ 2 P , O -μ-P(O)Cy 2 }Pt(Cl)(PHCy 2 )] ( 4 ), while [Au(PPh 3 )Cl] in thf (or toluene) caused ligand exchange resulting in the formation of [(PPh 3 )Pt(μ-PCy 2 ){κ 2 P , O -μ-P(O)Cy 2 }Pt(PHCy 2 )]( Pt-Pt ) ( 7 ) and [(PPh 3 )Pt(μ-PCy 2 ){κ 2 P , O -μ-P(O)Cy 2 }Pt(PPh 3 )]( Pt-Pt ) ( 8 ). With [Au(PPh 3 )OTf] (independently from the solvent) or with [Au(PPh 3 )Cl] (only in dichloromethane), reaction with 1 gave [(PHCy 2 )Pt 1 (μ-PCy 2 ){κ 2 P , O -μ-P(O)Cy 2 }Pt 2 {μ-Au(PPh 3 )}(PHCy 2 )]X( Pt-Pt ) ([ 6 ]X, X = OTf, Cl) clusters in which the [Au(PPh 3 )] moiety bridges the μP-Pt 2 bond. The [Ag(PPh 3 )] + electrophile attacks complex 1 selectively at the Pt 2 -μP bond to afford, at low T, the cationic cluster [(PHCy 2 )Pt 1 (μ-PCy 2 ){κ 2 P , O -μ-P(O)Cy 2 }Pt 2 {μ-Ag(PPh 3 )}(PHCy 2 )] + ( Pt-Pt ) ( 10 + ) in which the [Ag(PPh 3 )] + moiety bridges the μP-Pt 2 bond. Clusters analogous to 10 + , but without PPh 3 bonded to Ag, are obtained from reactions of 1 with AgOTf, AgBF 4 , AgClO 4 and AgCl. The Pt( i ) complex depicted in the figure reacts with M(PPh 3 ) n X electrophiles (M = Ag, Au; n = 1, 0; X = Cl, OTf, BF 4 , ClO 4 ) to give various types of MPt 2 clusters.
