Abstract

The reactivity of [PtX2(Me2phen)] complexes (X = Cl, Br, I; Me2phen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) with terminal alkynes has been investigated. Although the dichlorido species [PtCl2(Me2phen)] exhibits negligible reactivity, the bromido and iodido derivatives lead in short time to the formation of five-coordinate Pt(ii) complexes of the type [PtX2(Me2phen)(η(2)-CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR)] (X = Br, I; R = Ph, n-Bu), in equilibrium with the starting reagents. Similar to analogous complexes with simple acetylene, the five coordinate species can also undergo dissociation of an halido ligand and formation of the transient square-planar cationic species [PtX(Me2phen)(η(2)-CH[triple bond, length as m-dash]CR)](+). This latter can further evolve to give an unusual, sparingly soluble square planar product where the former terminal alkyne is converted into a :C[double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)(R) moiety with the α-carbon bridging the Pt(ii) core with one of the two N-donors of coordinated Me2phen. The final product [PtX2κ(2)-N,C-(Z)-N[combining low line]1-N10-C[combining low line][double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)(R)] (N1-N10 = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline; X = Br, I) contains a Pt-N-C-C-N-C six-membered chelate ring in a square planar Pt(ii) coordination environment.
