Variable Combinations of Tridentate Ligands in Pt(η3-X3L)(PL) Derivatives: History
Please note this is an old version of this entry, which may differ significantly from the current revision.
Contributor: , ,

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], 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]. 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]. The values of the chelate angles are 87.1° (S1-Pt-S2) and 89.5° (S2-Pt-S3). The remaining L-Pt-L bond angles open in the following order: 91.1° (S1-Pt-P) < 92.3° (S3-Pt-P) < 171.0° (S2-Pt-P) < 176.3° (S1-Pt-S3). The Pt-L bond distance increases in the following order: 2.330 Å (Pt-S1) < 2.332 Å (Pt-P) < 2.336 Å (Pt-S3) < 2.339 Å (Pt-S2 trans to P). Noticeably, the trans-X1-Pt-X3 bond angles are somewhat bigger than the trans-X2-Pt-P bond angles (Table 1).

2. 6+5-Membered Metallocyclic Rings

There are five examples namely [Pt(η3-C16H14N2OS2–O1,N1,S1)(PPh3)] [4], [Pt(η3-C16H13N3O3S2–O1,N1,S1)(PPh3)] (at 200K) [4], [Pt(η3-C8H8N3OS–O1,N1,S1)(PPh3)] toluene [5], [Pt(η3-C9H9N3OS–O1,N1,S1)(PPh3)] (at 100 K) (Figure 2) [6], and [Pt(η3-C18H16N2OS2–O1,N1,S1)(PPh3)] [4] (Table 2). In each of them, the η3-ligand creates six- and five-membered metallocyclic rings with a common ligating N1 atom of the O1C3N1NCS1 type. The values of the respective chelate angles (mean values) are 92.3° (O1-Pt-N1) and 84.6° (N1-Pt-S1). The remaining L-Pt-L bond angles open in the following order (mean values): 90.7° (O1-Pt-P) < 92.4° (S1-Pt-P) < 175.8° (N1-Pt-P) < 175.9° (O1-Pt-S1). Interestingly, the mean values of both trans-O1-Pt-S1 and N1-Pt-P angles are equal. The Pt-L bond distance increases (mean values) in the following order: 2.028 Å (Pt-O1 trans to S1) < 2.035 Å (Pt-N1 trans to P) < 2.244 Å (Pt-S1) < 2.259 Å (Pt-P).

3. 5+6-Membered Metallocyclic Rings

There are four complexes mentioned in this section, namely [Pt(η3-C12H10N4–N1,N2,N3)(PPh3)] (at 100 K) [7], [Pt(η3-C13H9NO2–O1,N1,O2)(PPh3)] [8], [Pt(η3-C12H16N2O4Se2–Se1,N1,Se2){P(η1-C11H19O5)(Ph)2}] [9], and [Pt(η3-C29H20F6S2O–S1,S2,O1)(PPh3)] (at 100 K) [10], and their structural parameters are gathered in Table 3. The structure of [Pt(η3-C12H10N4–N1,N2,N3)(PPh3)] [7] is shown in Figure 3 as an example. Each η3-ligand creates five and six metallocyclic rings. The donor atoms of the respective η3-ligands play a role in the size of the L-Pt-L chelate angles. These angles increase in the following sequences:

The monodentate PL displayed distorted square-planar geometry about Pt(II) atoms. The Pt-L bond distance to PL increased in the following order: 2.025 Å (Pt-N2) < 2.064 Å (Pt-N1) < 2.078 Å (Pt-N1) < 2.277 Å (Pt-S2). The order follows the above-mentioned sentence for the Pt-L (L is a common central ligating atom between five and six-rings).

4. 5+5-Membered Metallocyclic Rings

There are thirty-nine compounds in which each η3-ligand creates two five-membered metallocyclic rings. These complexes based on variable combinations of atoms involved in the chelate angles can be divided into twelve groups.
The structure of [Pt(η3-C33H24P2S2–S1,C1,S2)(PPh3)].CH2Cl2 [11] is shown in Figure 4. The η3-ligand creates two five-membered metallocyclic rings with a common C1 atom of the S1PCC1CPS2 type with chelate angles of 87.9° (S1-Pt-C1) and 87.7° (C1-Pt-S2). This is the only example of this type. The PPh3 demonstrated distorted square-planar geometry about Pt(II) atoms. The remaining L-Pt-L bond angles open in the following order: 89.7° (S1-Pt-P) < 94.2° (S2-Pt-P) < 173.8° (S1-Pt-S2) < 176.9° (C1-Pt-P). The Pt-L bond distance increases in the following order: 2.020 Å (Pt-C1) < 2.316 Å (Pt-S2) < 2.332 Å (Pt-S1) < 2.322 Å (Pt-P).
Figure 4. Structure of [Pt(η3-C33H24P2S2–S1,C1,S2)(PPh3)] [11].
In another two complexes, namely [Pt(η3-C12H12N2Te3–Te1,Te2,Te3)(PPh3)].C6H6 and [Pt(η3-C10H8N2Te3–Te1,Te2,Te3)(PPh3)] [12], which are isostructural, the η3-ligand creates a pair of five-membered metallocyclic rings with common central ligating Te2 atoms of the Te1CNTe2NCTe3 type. The mean values of the respective angles are 92.2 (±6)° (Te1-Pt-Te2) and 92.0 (±6)° (Te2-Pt-Te3). The PPh3 ligand demonstrated distorted square-planar geometry about each Pt(II) atom. The remaining L-Pt-L bond angles open in the following order (mean values): 88.1 (±1.2)° (Te3-Pt-P) ~ 88.1 (±2.31)° (Te1-Pt-P) < 173.3 (±8)° (Te1-Pt-Te3) < 173.4 (±2.1)° (Te2-Pt-P). The Pt-L bond distance increases in the following order (mean values): 2.283 (±1) Å (Pt-P) < 2.571 (±2) Å (Pt-Te2) < 2.591 (±3) Å (Pt-Te1) < 2.592 (±20) Å (Pt-Te3).
In another two complexes, namely Pt(η3-C12H9N2S2B–S1,B1,S2)(PPh3)].0.06CH2Cl2 [13] and Pt(η3-C13H14N5S3B–S1,B1,S2)(PPh3)] [14], each η3-ligand creates a pair of five-membered metallocyclic rings with a common central ligating B1 atom of the S1CNB1NCS2 type. The values of the respective chelate angles are (mean values): 80.4 (±6)° (S1-Pt-B1) and 85.7 (±8)° (B1-Pt-S2). The PPh3 demonstrated distorted square-planar geometry about the Pt(II) atom. The remaining L-Pt-L bond angles open in the following order (mean values): 95.9 (±5)° (S2-Pt-P) < 99.3 (±5)° (S1-Pt-P) < 162.4 (±1.0)° (S1-Pt-S2) < 174.4 (±2.2)° (B1-Pt-P). The Pt-L bond distance increases in the following order (mean values): 2.110 (±19) Å (Pt-B1) < 2.284 (±10) Å (Pt-S2) < 2.301 (±3) Å (Pt-S1) < 2.382 (±2) Å (Pt-P).
