Transition Metal Complexes of Phosphinous Acids Featuring a Quasichelating Unit: Synthesis, Characterization, and Hetero-bimetallic Complexes

Diorganophosphane oxides were employed as preligands for the synthesis of catalytically active transition metal complexes of the phosphinous acids (CF3)2POH and (C2F5)2POH. Their reactions with solid PtCl2 and PdCl2 led to the formation of mononuclear phosphinous acid complexes [Cl2M{P(R(f))2OH}2] (M = Pd, Pt; R(f) = C2F5, CF3), which can be crystallized, for example, as its pyridinium salts, 2[HPy](+)[Cl2Pd{P(CF3)2O}2](2-). In vacuo HCl is liberated from the neutral palladium complexes affording mixtures of di- and polynuclear complexes. Moreover, (C2F5)2POH was reacted with several β-diketonato complexes of palladium, platinum, and nickel yielding air- and moisture-stable complexes [(acac)M{[P(R(f))2O]2H}], featuring a quasichelating phosphinous acid phosphinito unit {P(R(f))2O···H···O(R(f))2P}(-). Treatment of [Ni(Cp)2] (Cp = cyclopentadienyl) and [(cod)RhCl]2 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with (C2F5)2POH leads to the substitution of one Cp or chloro ligand by a quasichelating unit. The novel coordination compounds were characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The platinum complex [(acac)Pt{[P(C2F5)2O]2H}] (acac = acetylacetonato) was used for the construction of hetero-bimetallic complexes by the treatment with [(cod)RhCl]2 and [Ni(Cp)2]. The trinuclear bimetallic complex [{(acac)Pt[P(C2F5)2O]2}2Ni] is the first structurally characterized hetero-bimetallic species containing a bis(perfluoroalkyl)phosphinito bridge.
