Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of platinum-methyl and hydride complexes containing the ligand [PhBP_3] ([PhBP_3]=[PhB(CH_2PPh_2)_3]^−) are described. Metalation of [PhBP_3][TBA] (1[TBA], [TBA]=[nBu_4N]^+) with platinum methyl precursors provided the corresponding phosphine methyl platinum species [PhBP_3]PtMe_3 (2) and [[κ^2-PhBP_3]PtMe_2][TBA] (3). The reactivity of octahedral 2 and square planar 3 are discussed, and their X-ray diffraction structures are reported. Octahedral Pt(IV) 2 was found to be very thermally and chemically robust. In contrast, the square planar Pt(II) complex 3 demonstrated reactivity at both the platinum center and the unbound phosphine. The reaction of 3 with one equivalent of elemental sulfur provided the corresponding phosphine-sulfide [[κ^2-PhB(CH_2P(S)Ph_2)(CH_2PPh_2)_2]PtMe_2][TBA] (4). Similarly, the reaction of 3 with one equivalent of BH_3 • SMe_2 generated the borane-protected complex [[κ^2-PhB(CH_2P(BH_3)Ph_2)(CH_2PPh_2)_2]PtMe_2][TBA] (5). Complex 5 was significantly less reactive than 3 to a variety of substrates under similar conditions; however, the reaction of 5 with additional BH_3 • SMe_2 resulted in the formation of the platinum(I) bridged hydride species [[κ^2-PhB(CH_2P(BH_3)Ph_2)(CH_2PPh_2)_2]Pt(μ-H)]_2[TBA]_2 (6).
