Variable Combinations of Tridentate Ligands in Pt(η3-X3L)(PL) Derivatives: Comparison
View Latest Version
Please note this is a comparison between Version 1 by Peter Mikuš and Version 2 by Lindsay Dong.

There are over fifty examples in which the inner coordination spheres about the Pt(II) atoms of the Pt(η3-X3L)(PL) type are formed by variable combinations of donor atoms of tridentate ligands. Each η3-ligand creates two metallocyclic rings. The complexes based on membered metallocyclic rings can be divided into four groups: 1. 6+6-Membered Metallocyclic Rings, 2. 6+5-Membered Metallocyclic Rings, 3. 5+6-Membered Metallocyclic Rings, and 4. 5+5-Membered Metallocyclic Rings.

1. 6+6-Membered Metallocyclic Rings

There are only three examples in which a η3-ligand creates such rings (Table 1). In [Pt(η3-C22H11F6N3O2–O1,N1,O2)(PPh3)] (at 173 K) [1][4], the η3-ligand forms a metallocyclic ring of the O1C3N1C3O2 type with common ligating N1 atoms. The values of the chelate L-Pt-L angles are 90.6° (O1-Pt-N1) and 90.2° (N1-Pt-O2). The O1C2NN1C3O2 type with the respective chelate angles of 88.2° (O1-Pt-N1) and 90.0° (N1-Pt-O2) was found in [Pt(η3-C14H10N2O3–O1,N1,O2)(PPh3)] (at 150 K) [2][5]. The remaining L-Pt-L angles open in the following order (mean values): 88.1° (O2-Pt-P) < 89.0° (O1-Pt-P) < 176.0° (N1-Pt-P) < 177.7° (O1-Pt-O2). The monodentate PPh3 displayed square-planar geometry about each Pt(II) atom. The Pt-L bond distance increased in the following order (mean values): 1.995 Å (Pt-O1 trans to O2) < 1.996 Å (Pt-O2) < 2.010 Å (Pt-N1) < 2.254 Å (Pt-P).

For the complex [Pt{η3-C12H24S3-S1,S2,S3}(PPh3)]BF4, the η3-ligand creates a pair of six-membered metallocyclic rings of the S1C3S2C3S3 type (as shown in Figure 1) [3][6]. The values of the chelate angles are 87.1° (S1-Pt-S2) and 89.5° (S2-Pt-S3).

Noticeably, the trans-X1-Pt-X3 bond angles are somewhat bigger than the trans-X2-Pt-P bond angles (Table 1).
