Abstract
Inspired by the catalytic alkyne metathesis activity of Re(V) carbyne complexes supported by phosphinophenolate (PO) ligands, new Re(V) carbyne complexes with analogous phoshorus-sulfur hybrid chelating ligands were synthesized. Treatment of Re(≡CR)Cl2(PMePh2)3 (R = CH2Ph, Ph) with (2-thiophenyl)diphenylphosphine (Ph2P-o-C6H4SH, PSH) in the presence of NEt3 produced the six-coordinated PS complexes Re(≡CR)(PMePh2)(PS)2 (PS = Ph2P-o-C6H4S), which reacted with [(η6-cymene)RuCl2]2 to give five-coordinated trigonal bipyramidal complexes Re(≡CR)(PS)2 and (η6-cymene)RuCl2(PMePh2). The complex Re(≡CCH2Ph)(PS)2 can be oxidized to give the sulfinate complex Re(≡CCH2Ph)(H2O)(PSO)2 (PSO = Ph2P-o-C6H4SO2). The thiophenolate complexes Re(≡CR)(PMePh2)(PS)2 and Re(≡CR)(PS)2 showed marginal alkyne metathesis activity at 100 °C, whereas the sulfinate complex Re(≡CCH2Ph)(H2O)(PSO)2 is unreactive toward alkyne metathesis reactions under similar condition. DFT calculations reveal that the lower metathesis activity of the thiophenolate and sulfinate complexes compared with that of PO complexes can be related to the thermochemistry of alkyne coordination to five-coordinated species Re(≡CR)(PX)2 (X = O, S, SO). The alkyne coordination to give an alkyne-alkylidyne complex is thermodynamically favored for Re(≡CR)(PO)2, but is unfavored for Re(≡CR)(PS)2 and Re(≡CR)(PSO)2, resulting in a higher barrier for alkyne metathesis in PS and PSO systems.
