Ligand architecture for triangular metal complexes: a high oxidation state Ni₃ cluster with proximal metal arrangement

Abstract

A new multidentate tetraanionic ligand platform for supporting trinuclear transition metal clusters has been developed. Two trisphenoxide phosphinimide ligands bind three Ni centers in a triangular arrangement. The phosphinimide donors bridge in µ₃ fashion and the phenoxides complete a pseudo-square planar coordination sphere around each metal center. Electrochemical studies reveal two pseudo-reversible oxidation events at notably low potentials (−0.80 V and +0.05 V). The one electron oxidized species was characterized structurally, and it is assigned as a Ni^(III)-containing cluster.
