Crystal structures of four new iridium complexes, each containing a highly flexible carbodi-phos-phorane PCP pincer ligand.

ABSTRACT: Compound [Ir(C8H12)(C51H45P4)]Cl2 or [Ir(cod)(CH(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]Cl2 (1a), was obtained from [IrCl(cod)]2 and the carbodi-phospho-rane (CDP) salt [CH(dppm)2]Cl [where cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene and dppm = bis-(di-phenyl-phosphino)methane]. Treatment of 1a with thallium(I) tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate [Tl(OTf)] and subsequent crystallization gave complex [Ir(C8H12)(C51H45P4)](OTf)2·CH3CO2C2H5·CH2Cl2 or [Ir(cod)(CH(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)](OTf)2·CH3CO2C2H5·CH2Cl2 (1b) [systematic name: (cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,7-diphospha-3,5-di-phospho-niaheptan-4-yl)iridium(I) bis-(tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate)-ethyl acetate-di-chloro-methane (1/1/1)]. This five-coordinate iridium(I) complex cation adopts a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with the CDP carbon and one cod double bond in axial sites. Compound 1b represents the first example of a non-meridional coordination of the PCP pincer ligand [CH(dppm)2]+ with a P-Ir-P angle of 98.08?(2)°. Compound 2, [IrCl2H(C51H44P4)]·(CH3)2CO or [IrCl2H(C(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]·(CH3)2CO [systematic name: di-chlorido-hydrido(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,5?5,7-triphospha-3-phospho-niahept-4-en-4-yl)iridium(III) acetone monosolvate], crystallizes as an acetone monosolvate. It is a six-coordinate IrIII coordination compound. Here, the PCP pincer ligand is coordinated in a meridional manner; one chlorido ligand is positioned trans to the carbon donor, the remaining two coordination sites being occupied by the second chlorido and a hydrido ligand trans to each other. Complex 3, [IrCl2H(C51H45P4)]Cl·5H2O or [IrCl2H(CH(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]Cl·5H2O [systematic name: di-chlorido-hydrido(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,7-diphospha-3,5-di-phospho-niaheptan-4-yl)iridium(III) chloride penta-hydrate], represents the conjugate CH acid of 2. The ligand [CH(dppm)2]+ is coordinated in a meridional manner. In the cationic six-coordinate IrIII complex 4, [IrClH(CO)(C51H44P4)]Cl·2CH3OH·H2O or [IrClH(CO)(C(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]Cl·2CH3OH·H2O [systematic name: carbonyl-chlorido-hydrido(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,5?5,7-triphospha-3-phos-pho-niahept-4-en-4-yl)iridium(III) chloride-methanol-water (1/2/1)], the chlorido ligand is found in the plane defined by the Ir center and the meridional PCP ligand; the H and CO ligands are positioned axially to this plane and trans to each other.

In 2, the iridium centre is coordinated by the neutral triazeneyl-idene-phospho-rane (4-Cl-C6H4N3)C(dppm) acting as a PCN pincer ligand, and a chelating dppm unit. The structure of the coordination compound [IrCl(CN)H(C(dppm)2-κ3 P,C,P)]·CH3CN, (C52H45ClIrNP4·CH3CN) (1b) [systematic name: chlorido-cyanidohydrido(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,3λ5,5λ4,7-tetra-phospha-κ2 P 1,P 7-hept-3-en-4-yl)iridium(III) aceto-nitrile monosolvate], prepared from 1a and KCN, reveals an octa-hedral IrIII central atom with a meridional PCP pincer carbodi-phospho-rane (CDP) ligand; the chloride ligand is located trans to the central carbon of the CDP functionality while the hydrido and cyanido ligands are situated trans to each other. The chiral coordination compound [Ir(CN)((4-Cl-C6H4N3)CH(CH(P(Ph)2)2)-κ3 P,C,N)(dppm-κ2 P,P')]·2CH3OH, (C58H48ClIrN4P4·2CH3OH) (3) (systematic name: {4-[3-(4-chloro-phen-yl)triazenido-κN 3]-1,1,3,3-tetra-phenyl-1,3λ5-diphospha-κP 1-but-2-en-4-yl}cyanido[methyl-enebis(di-phenyl-phosphine)-κ2 P,P']iridium(III) methanol disolvate), formed via prolonged reaction of 1-azido-4-chloro-benzene with 1b, features a six-coordinate IrIII central atom. The iridium centre is coordinated by the dianionic facial PCN pincer ligand [(4-Cl-C6H4N3)CH(CH(P(Ph2)2)2)], a cyanido ligand trans to the central carbon of the PCN pincer ligand and a chelating dppm unit. Complex 2 exhibits a 2:1 positional disorder of the Cl- anion. The CH2Cl2 and C7H8 solvent mol-ecules show occupational disorder, with the toluene mol-ecule exhibiting additional 1:1 positional disorder with some nearly overlying carbon atoms.

Project description:The 15e square-planar complexes [Co(PCPMe-iPr)Cl] (2a) and [Co(PCP-tBu)Cl] (2b), respectively, react readily with NaBH4 to afford complexes [Co(PCPMe-iPr)(η2-BH4)] (4a) and [Co(PCP-tBu)(η2-BH4)] (4b) in high yields, as confirmed by IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and elemental analysis. The borohydride ligand is symmetrically bound to the cobalt center in η2-fashion. These compounds are paramagnetic with effective magnetic moments of 2.0(1) and 2.1(1) μB consistent with a d7 low-spin system corresponding to one unpaired electron. None of these complexes reacted with CO2 to give formate complexes. For structural and reactivity comparisons, we prepared the analogous Ni(II) borohydride complex [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)(η2-BH4)] (5) via two different synthetic routes. One utilizes [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)Cl] (3) and NaBH4, the second one makes use of the hydride complex [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)H] (6) and BH3·THF. In both cases, 5 is obtained in high yields. In contrast to 4a and 4b, the borohydride ligand is asymmetrically bound to the nickel center but still in an η2-mode. [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)(η2-BH4)] (5) loses readily BH3 at elevated temperatures in the presence of NEt3 to form 6. Complexes 5 and 6 are both diamagnetic and were characterized by a combination of 1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H} NMR, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Additionally, the structure of these compounds was established by X-ray crystallography. Complexes 5 and 6 react with CO2 to give the formate complex [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)(OC(C=O)H] (7). The extrusion of BH3 from [Co(PCPMe-iPr)(η2-BH4)] (4a) and [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)(η2-BH4)] (5) with the aid of NH3 to yield the respective hydride complexes [Co(PCPMe-iPr)H] and [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)H] (6) and BH3NH3 was investigated by DFT calculations showing that formation of the Ni hydride is thermodynamically favorable, whereas the formation of the Co(II) hydride, in agreement with the experiment, is unfavorable. The electronic structures and the bonding of the borohydride ligand in [Co(PCPMe-iPr)(η2-BH4)] (4a) and [Ni(PCPMe-iPr)(η2-BH4)] (5) were established by DFT computations.
