σ-GeH and Germyl Cationic Pt(II) Complexes.

ABSTRACT: The low electron count Pt(II) complexes [Pt(NHC')(NHC)][BAr^F] (where NHC is a N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and NHC' its metalated form) react with tertiary hydrogermanes HGeR₃ at room temperature to generate the 14-electron platinum(II) germyl derivatives [Pt(GeR₃)(NHC)₂][BAr^F]. Low-temperature NMR studies allowed us to detect and characterize spectroscopically some of the σ-GeH intermediates [Pt(η²-HGeR₃)(NHC')(NHC)][BAr^F] that evolve into the platinum-germyl species. One of these compounds has been characterized by X-ray diffraction studies, and the interaction of the H-Ge bond with the platinum center has been analyzed in detail by computational methods, which suggest that the main contribution is the donation of the H-Ge to a σ*(Pt-C) orbital, but backdonation from the platinum to the σ*(Ge-H) orbital is significant. Primary and secondary hydrogermanes also produce the corresponding platinum-germyl complexes, a result that contrasts with the reactivity observed with primary silanes, in which carbon-silicon bond-forming reactions have been reported. According to density functional theory calculations, the formation of Pt-Ge/C-H bonds is both kinetically and thermodynamically preferred over the competitive reaction pathway leading to Pt-H/C-Ge bonds.

Project description:Herein, we describe the synthesis, full spectroscopic characterization, DFT (density functional theory) calculations, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of a series of osmium arene σ-germyl, germanate, σ-stannyl, and stannate complexes, along with their cytotoxic (anticancer) investigations. The known dimer complexes [OsCl2(η6-C6H6)]2 (1) and [OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)]2 (2) were reacted with PPh3 to form the known mononuclear complex [OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)(PPh3)] (3) and the new complex [OsCl2(η6-C6H6)(PPh3)] (6); complex 3 was reacted with GeCl2·(dioxane) and SnCl2 to afford, by insertion into the Os-Cl bond, the neutral σ-germyl and stannyl complexes [OsCl(η6-p-cymene)(PPh3)(GeCl3)] (7) and [OsCl(η6-p-cymene)(PPh3)(SnCl3)] (11), respectively, as a mixture of enantiomers. Similarly, the reaction of complex 6 with GeCl2·(dioxane) afforded [OsCl(η6-C6H6)(PPh3)(GeCl3)] (9). Complex 2, upon reaction with 1,1-bis(diphenylphosphino)methane (dppm), formed a mixture of [OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)(κ1-dppm)] (4) and [Os(η6-p-cymene)(κ2-dppm)Cl]+Cl- (5) when prepared in acetonitrile and a mixture of 4 and the dinuclear complex [[OsCl2(η6-p-cymene)]2(μ-dppm)] (0) when prepared in dichloromethane. By utilizing either isolated 4 or a mixture of 4 and 5, the synthesis of κ2-dppm germanate and stannate salts, [OsCl(η6-p-cymene)(κ2-dppm)]+GeCl3 - (8) and [OsCl(η6-p-cymene)(κ2-dppm)]+SnCl3 - (10), were accomplished via halide-abstracting reactions with GeCl2·(dioxane) or SnCl2, respectively. All resulting complexes were characterized by means of multinuclear NMR, FT-IR, ESI-MS, and UV/Vis spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction analyses of 4, 8, 9, 10, and 11 were performed and are reported. DFT studies (B3LYP, basis set LANL2DZ for Os, and def2-TZVPP for Sn, Ge, Cl, P, C, and H) were performed on complex 9 and the benzene analogue of complex 11, 11-benzene, to evaluate the structural changes and the effects on the frontier molecular orbitals arising from the substitution of Ge for Sn. Finally, complexes 3 and 7-11 were investigated for potential anticancer activities considering cell cytotoxicity and apoptosis assays against Dalton's lymphoma (DL) and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) malignant cancer cell lines. The complexes were also tested against healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). All cell lines were also treated with the reference drug cisplatin to draw a comparison with the results obtained from the reported complexes. The study was further corroborated with in silico molecular interaction simulations and a pharmacokinetic study.
