    A large variety of cationic eta(3)-allylplatinum(II) complexes of the type [Pt(eta(3)-CH2C(R)C(R')(R ")(PPh3)(2)](+)(1a-f) are prepared in high yield by oxidative allyl transfer from the ammonium cations [NEt3CH2C(R) C(R')(R ")](+) to [Pt(eta(2)-C2H4)(PPh3)(2)]. A similar reaction of [NEt3CH2C(R)-C(R')(2)](+) with [Pt(cod)(2)] yields the related complexes [Pt(eta(3)-CH2C(R)C(R')(2)(cod)](+) (2a-c), indicating a rather general feasibility of such synthetic route. The 1,5-cyclooctadiene ligand of complexes 2a,e can be easily displaced by mono- and bidentate tertiary phosphines. The solution behaviour of the cationic eta(3)-allyl platinum(II) complexes has been studied by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The solid state structures of the complexes [Pt(eta(3)-CH2CHCH2)(PPh3)(2)](+) (1a) and [Pt(eta(3)-CH2C(Me)CH2)(PPh3)(2)](+) (1b) have been determined by X-ray analyses. In Ib, the 2-methylpropenyl ligand is symmetrically eta(3)-bound to platinum and assumes a unique orientation relative to the average coordination plane. In la, however, the propenyl ligand is disordered in two opposite orientations with occupation factors of 0.65 and 0.35. In the orientation with 0.65 occupation factor, the allyl ligand is symmetrically eta(3)-bound to the metal, whereas, in the opposite orientation the C-C bond distances within the allyl group are considerably different [1.46(4) and 1.23(4) Angstrom] with the three allyl carbon atoms being at roughly equal distances from platinum. Even though the C3H5 group is affected by large anisotropic thermal motion, the observed asymmetry may also arise from a prevailing eta(1), eta(2) coordination of the ligand in the solid

    Synthesis, characterization and cytotoxic activity of substituted benzyl iminoether Pt(II) complexes of the type cis- and trans-[PtCl2{E-N(H)=C(OMe)CH2-C6H4-p-R}(2)] (R = Me, OMe, F). X-ray structure of trans-[PtCl2{E-N(H)=C(OMe)CH2-C6H4-p-F}(2)]

    New substituted benzyl iminoether derivatives of the type cis- and trans-[PtCl2{E-N(H)=C(OMe)CH2-C6H4-p-R}(2)] (R = Me (1a, 2a), OMe (3a, 4a), F (5a, 6a)) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy and NMR techniques. The iminoether ligands are in the E configuration, which is stable in solution and in the solid state, as confirmed by the H-1 NMR data. Complex trans-[PtCl2{E-N(H)=C(OMe)CH2-C6H4-p-F}(2)] (6a) was also characterized by an X-ray diffraction study. Complexes 1 a-6a have been tested against a panel of human tumor cell lines in order to evaluate their cytotoxic activity. cis-Isomers were significant more potent than the corresponding trans-isomers against all tumor cell lines tested; moreover, complexes la and 5a showed IC50 values from about 2-fold to 6-fold lower than those exhibited by cisplatin, used as reference platinum anticancer drug

    Tapinauchenius gretae n. sp. (Figs 19, 21, 23, 122–144) Diagnosis. Females of Tapinauchenius gretae n. sp. resemble those of T. brunneus by the large lobe on the spermathecae apex (Fig. 129). They differ by spermathecae shape, having the same width almost all of its length. Males of Tapinauchenius gretae n. sp. resemble those of T. brunneus by the embolus in dorsal view roughly straight with a pronounced curvature to retrolateral side at its distal portion (Fig. 125). They differ by the longer embolus, more than 3.5 times subtegulum length (Fig. 122) and by the slender embolus in dorsal view (Fig. 125). Etymology. The specific epithet is a matronym in honor of Greta Thunberg, a young Swedish environmental activist who has fought against climate change and for the preservation of the planet. Type material.

    Treatment of the alkynyl complexes trans-[Pt(Me)(CCR)(PPh3)2] (R=p-tolyl (1a), Ph (1b)) at low temperature in a CD2Cl2 solution with stoichiometric amounts of the acids HBF4·Et2O or CF3SO3H affords the corresponding vinylidene derivatives trans-[Pt(Me){=C=C(H)R}(PPh3)2]X (R=p-tolyl, X=BF4 (2aBF4); R=p-tolyl, X=CF3SO3 (2aCF3SO3); R=Ph, X=BF4 (2bBF4)) on the basis of 1H- and 31P{1H}-NMR data. The reactions of the in situ generated complexes 2 with water, which were followed by 1H- and 31P{1H}-NMR, lead to the formation of a mixture of the carbonyl complex [Pt(Me)(CO)(PPh3)2]X (3) and the hydroxo-bridged dinuclear compound [Pt(μ-OH)(PPh3)2]2X2 (4) in a ca. 1:2 ratio. The formation of 3 and 4 is accompanied with the liberation of hydrocarbons R-CH3 and olefins CH3CH=CHR (R=p-tolyl, Ph), respectively, which arise from the vinylidene ligand likely via an hydroxycarbene intermediate

    NUCLEOPHILIC-ATTACK BY 2-PYRIDYLPALLADIUM(II) AND PLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES ON THE ORGANIC CHLORIDES CLCH2R (R = COME, CN, PH, CL)

    The 2-pyridyl complexes trans-[MCl(C5H4N-C2)(PPh3)2] (M = Pd, 1a; M = Pt, 1b), [MCl(C5H4N-C2)(dppe)] (M = Pd, 2a; M = Pt, 2b) and [M(dmtc)(C5H4N-C2)(PPh3)] (M = Pd, 3a; M = Pt, 3b) react with the chlorides ClCH2R (R = COMe, CN, Ph) to give cationic products containing the 2-pyridylium ligands (1-CH2R)C5H4N-C2. The rate of nucleophilic displacement of the chloride ion from ClCH2R depends on the central metal (Pt > Pd), on the coordination geometry (1 CN > Ph for the reactions with 3b). Like 1b and 2b, complex 3b also reacts with dichloromethane to give [Pt(dmtc){(1-CH2Cl)C5H4N-C2}(PPh3)]+. The reaction of the binuclear compound [{PdCl(mu-C5H4N-C2,N)(PPh3)}2] with chloroacetone in the presence of chloride ion yields the zwitterionic derivative cis-[PdCl2{(1-CH2COMe)C5H4N-C2}(PPh3)]. The cationic products have been isolated and characterized as perchlorate salts

    The reactions of C8F17CH2CHCH2O with some primary and secondary aliphatic amines affording selective ring opening at C-beta are reported. The reactions with secondary amines (HNRR2)-R-1 (R-1 = R-2 = Et; R-1 = Bu-t, R-2 = CH2CH2O(CO)C(CH3)=CH2; R-1 = Et, R-2 = CH2CH2OH; R-1 =R-2 =CH2CH2OH) gave the corresponding C8F17CH2-CH(OH)-CH2-(NRR2)-R-1 derivatives. For R-1 = Et, R-2 = CH2CH2OH; R-1 =R-2 = CH2CH2OH, the reactions proceed through the selective nucleophilic attack of the NH moiety with no evidence of reactivity of the OH group. The reactions with the primary amines, allylamine and n-hexamethylenediamine, gave different products depending on reaction conditions. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
