    The complex [(PHCy2)Pt(μ-PCy2){κ2P,O-μ-P(O)Cy2}Pt(PHCy2)](Pt-Pt) (1) constitutes a rare example of unsymmetrical phosphinito diplatinum species that, due to the simultaneous presence of a soft binding atom (P) linked to a hard one (O), undergoes smooth reaction with nucleophiles, electrophiles, dihydrogen and terminal alkynes. The tested nucleophiles were PHCy2, PCy3, P(S)HCy2 and CO, whereas the investigated electrophiles were several Brønsted acids as well as metal based species (AuCl, Au(PPh3)Cl, AgX, X = OTf, BF4, ClO4, Cl, (PPh3)OTf). The alkynes used in reaction with 1 were (trimethylsilyl)acetylene and phenylacetylene. In all cases the skeletal framework was preserved and in one case (reaction with diluted HF) dimerization led to a tetranuclear species

    We have recently described the synthesis of the complex [(PHCy2)Pt1(m-PCy2){k2P,O-m-P(O)Cy2}Pt2(PHCy2)] (Pt-Pt) (1), the first unsymmetrical phosphinito bridged Pt(I) species.[1] The phosphinito bridge differentiates the charge distributions on the two platinum atoms as confirmed by NMR spectroscopy (dPt(1) = -4798 ppm, dPt(2) = -5207 ppm) and DFT studies. Complex 1 shows a rich chemistry as it reacts with nucleophiles [PHCy2, PCy3, P(S)HCy2],[2] protic species HX [P(OH)Cy2, PhSH, HF, HCl, HBr, HI, HBF4],[3, 4] and small molecules such as H2.[5] Recently, we started investigations on the reactivity of complex 1 towards Au and Ag based electrophiles. In this communication, it will be shown that, differently from the isolobal H+ (which attacks the phosphinito oxygen and migrates onto the Pt-Pt bond),3 the [Ag(PPh3)]+ electrophile attacks complex 1 selectively to the Pt2-mP bond to afford the cationic cluster [(PHCy2)Pt1(m-PCy2){k2P,O-m-P(O)Cy2}Pt2{m- -Ag(PPh3)}(PHCy2)]+ (Pt–Pt) (2+) in which the [Ag(PPh3)]+ moiety bridges the mP-Pt2 bond. Analogous reactivity is observed also when phosphane free electrophiles such as AgOTf, AgBF4, AgClO4 and AgCl are used. Moreover, the reactivity of 1 towards Au(I) electrophiles such as AuCl and [Au(PPh3)Cl] was dependent on the reagent and on the experimental conditions. references: 1.

    Synthesis of Heterodimetallic Complexes by Reaction of a Terminal Phosphido Pt Complex with Metal Based Nucleophiles and Electrophiles

    No full text
    The complex trans-[PtCl(PCy2)(PHCy2)2] (1) possesses a terminal phosphanido group (PCy2) and a chloride ligand, which render it a good candidate for the synthesis of phosphanido- bridged heterodimetallic species (PHCy2)2Pt(μ- PCy2)M–L by reaction either with carbonyl metalates, as metal-based nucleophiles, or with metal-based electrophiles. The heterodinuclear complexes [(PHCy2)2Pt(μ-PCy2)Co- (CO)3](Pt–Co) (2), [(PHCy2)2Pt(μ-PCy2)Mo(CO)2Cp](Pt–Mo) (3), and [(PHCy2)2Pt(μ-PCy2)W(CO)2Cp](Pt–W) (4) are obtained by reaction of 1 with the carbonyl metalates Na[Co- (CO)4], Na[Mo(CO)3Cp] and Na[W(CO)3Cp], respectively. Although 2 is reluctant to react with carbon monoxide, 3 and 4 are promptly carbonylated under ambient conditions to afford mixtures of the cis and trans isomers of [(PHCy2)(CO)- Pt(μ-PCy2)M(CO)2Cp] (M = Mo or W), which interconvert through dissociation/reassociation of the CO ligand coordinated to the Pt centre. The reaction of 1 with AuCl(PPh3) leads to the formation of the trinuclear Pt2Au complexes cisand trans-[{Cl(PHCy2)2Pt(μ-PCy2)}2Au]Cl (cis- and trans- [8]Cl), in which a Au atom bridges two molecules of 1 through the originally terminal phosphanide ligands
