Abstract
The hydridoirida-β-diketone [IrHCl{(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(2)H}] (1) reacts with benzylamine (C(6)H(5)CH(2)NH(2)) to give the hydridoirida-β-ketoimine [IrHCl{(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CNCH(2)C(6)H(5)))H}] (2), stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond. 2 reacts with water to undergo hydrolysis and amine coordination giving hydridodiacylamino [IrH(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(2)(C(6)H(5)CH(2)NH(2))] (3). Cyclohexylamine or dimethylamine lead to hydridodiacylamino [IrH(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(2)L] (4-5). In chlorinated solvents hydridodiacylamino complexes undergo exchange of hydride by chloride to afford [IrCl(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(2)L] (6-9). The reaction of 1 with hydrazine (H(2)NNH(2)) gives hydridoirida-β-ketoimine [IrHCl{(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CNNH(2)))H}] (10), fluxional in solution with values for ΔH(‡) of 2.5 ± 0.3 kcal mol(-1) and for ΔS(‡) of -32.9 ± 3 eu. A hydrolysis/imination sequence can be responsible for fluxionality. 2-Aminopyridines (RHNC(5)H(3)R'N) react with 1 to afford cis-[IrCl(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CHNRC(5)H(3)R'N))] (R = R' = H (11), R = CH(3), R' = H (12), R = H, R' = CH(3) (13)) containing new terdentate PCN ligands in a facial disposition and cis phosphorus atoms as kinetic products. The formation of 11-13 requires imination of the hydroxycarbene moiety of 1, coordination of the nitrogen atom of pyridine to iridium, and iridium to carbon hydrogen transfer. In refluxing methanol, complexes 11-13 isomerize to afford the thermodynamic products 14-16 with trans phosphorus atoms. Chloride abstraction from complexes [IrCl(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CO))(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CHNRC(5)H(4)N))] (R = H or CH(3)) leads to decarbonylation of the acylphosphine chelating group to afford cationic complexes [Ir(CO)(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)))(PPh(2)(o-C(6)H(4)CHNRC(5)H(4)N))]A, 17 (R = H, A = ClO(4)) and 18 (R = CH(3), A = BF(4)) as a cis/trans = 4:1 mixture of isomers. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis was performed on 6, 9, 13, and 14.
