Abstract
We report the synthesis of germanium-containing polyphosphorus ligands in transition metal complexes through the insertion of an Ar′GeCl unit into a P–P bond of polyphosphorus ligands (Ar′ = 2,6-(2,6-iPr2C6H3)2-C6H3). Germatetraphosphido complexes [(L)Co(η4-P4GeAr′)] (1a: L = PHDI; 1b: L = Ar*BIAN; PHDI = bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)phenanthrene-9,10-diimine, Ar*BIAN = 1,2-bis(arylimino)acenaphthene, aryl = 2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-isopropylphenyl) were obtained by treatment of the anionic cyclo-P4 complexes [K(18c-6)][(L)Co(η4-P4)] with [Ar′GeCl]2 . Similar reactions of the cyclo-P3 complexes [cat][(L)Co(CN)(η3-P3)] ([cat]+ = [nBu4N]+ or [K(18c-6)]+) afforded [cat][(L)Co(η3-P3GeAr′Cl)(CN)] (2a: L = PHDI, [cat]+ = [nBu4N]+; 2b: L = Ar*BIAN, [cat]+ = [K(18c-6)]+). The reactivity of 2a was studied toward group 14 electrophiles, yielding neutral germatriphosphido analogues [(PHDI)Co(η3-P3GeAr′Cl)(CNER3)] (3-ER3, ER3 = CPh3, Si(iPr)3). Furthermore, treatment of 2a with the group 13 Lewis acid GaCl3 gave [nBu4N][(PHDI)Co(η3-P3GeAr′Cl)(CNGaCl3)] (4-Ga) and [(PHDI)Co(η3-P2Ge(PAr′))(CNGaCl3)] (5-Ga), which features a remarkable P3GeAr′ ligand. Compounds 1–5 were isolated as crystalline materials and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy supported by DFT calculations.
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
