Abstract
The iminophosphine ligands of o-Ph2PC6H4-CH=N-p-R-C6H4 (P^N-imine for short; R = OMe (1, L1 = MeO-ImP), Cl (2, L2 = Cl-ImP), Br (3, L3 = Br-ImP), COOH (4, L4 = COOH-ImP)) and bridged [o-Ph2PC6H4-CH=N]2-R (bis(P^N-imine) for short; R = -C2H4- (5, L5 = Et-bisImP), -C4H8- (6, L6 = Bu-bisImP), -C6H12- (7, L7 = Hex-bisImP)) were synthesized starting from o-Ph2PC6H4CHO with aryl/alkyl amines by condensation. In addition, amino derivatives of o-Ph2PC6H4-CH2-NH-p-R-C6H4 (P^NH-amine for short; R = Br (8, L8 = Br-AmP)) and bridged [o-Ph2PC6H4-CH2-NH]2-R (bis(P^NH-amine) for short; R = -C2H4- (9, L9 = Et-bisAmP), -C4H8- (10, L10 = Bu-bisAmP), -C6H12- (11, L11 = Hex-bisAmP)) were prepared by reduction of the imines (L1–7) with NaBH4. Treatment of imino- and aminophosphine ligands L1–11 with [Cu(MeCN)4]BF4 yielded the corresponding copper(I) complexes [Cu(L1–4)2]BF4 (1a-4a, L1 = MeO-ImP, L2 = Cl-ImP, L3 = Br-ImP, L4 = COOH-ImP), [Cu(L5–7)]BF4 (5a-7a, L5 = Et-bisImP, L6 = Bu-bisImP, L7 = Hex-bisImP), [Cu(L8)2]BF4 (8a, L8 = Br-AmP), and [Cu(L9–11)]BF4 (9a-11a, L9 = Et-bisAmP, L10 = Bu-bisAmP, L11 = Hex-bisAmP), while Ni(II) analogues [Ni(L5)](PF6)2 (5b, L5 = Et-bisImP) and [Ni(L9)Cl]PF6 (9b, L9 = Et-bisAmP) were prepared serving as comparators. The compositions and structures of the synthesized ligands and complexes were characterized with FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy and primarily single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The resulting Cu(I) and Ni(II) complexes were evaluated as catalysts for the hydrosilylation of acetophenone under mild conditions. It is worth noting that the Cu(I) complex [Cu(L5)]BF4 (5a, L5 = Et-bisImP) achieved 93 %–99 % conversion in catalytic hydrosilylation of various aromatic and aliphatic ketones under mild conditions.
