Abstract
A comparison between the mononuclear platinum complexes of three structurally different monoanionic borato ligands is presented: [Ph_2B(pyrazolyl)_2]- ([Ph_2B(pz)_2], 1), [4-Ph_3B(2,2‘-bipyridine)]- ([(4-BPh_3)bpy], 2), and [Ph_2B(CH_2PPh_2)_2]- ([Ph_2BP_2], 3). The new bipyridylborate ligand 2 is introduced in this study. The relative trans influence of these ligands has been assessed by comparison of the structural and spectroscopic (NMR) data of the platinum dimethyl complexes [[Ph_2B(pz)_2]Pt(Me)_2][NBu_4] (4), [[(4-BPh_3)bpy]Pt(Me)_2][NBu_4] (5), and [[Ph_2BP_2]Pt(Me)_2][ASN] (6). The neutral complexes [Ph_2B(pz)_2]Pt(Me)(NCCH_3) (7), [Ph_2B(pz)_2]Pt(Me)(CO) (8), [Ph_2B(pz)_2]Pt(Me)(P(C_6F_5)_3) (9), [(4-BPh_3)bpy]Pt(Me)(NCCH_3) (10), [(4-BPh_3)bpy]Pt(Me)(CO) (11), and [(bpy)Pt(Me)(CO)][BPh_4] (12) were prepared, and the carbonyl complexes 8, 11, and 12 provide information pertaining to the relative electron-releasing character of each ligand type. The CO stretching frequencies suggest that the charged borate moiety renders the borato ligands more electron-donating than their neutral analogues. Of the neutral platinum methyl solvento complexes supported by ligands 1, 2, and 3, only those of 1 display very different C−H activation propensities. Upon protonation or methide abstraction in benzene at room temperature, complex 4 rapidly activates two molecules of benzene to generate [[Ph_2B(pz)_2]Pt(Ph)_2][NBu_4] (13). Isotopic scrambling of deuterium into methane in C_6D_6 solvent suggests the intermediacy of a methane σ-adduct in this reaction. The double C−H activation reaction can be halted by addition of acetonitrile to trap the intermediate [Ph_2B(pz)_2]Pt(Ph)(NCCH_3) (14). Complex 3 also displays reactivity toward the benzylic C−H bonds of mesitylene at room temperature to form [Ph_2B(pz)_2]Pt(pzH)(CH_2C_6H_3(CH_3)_2) (15) in modest yield.
