Comprehensive structural, spectroscopic, and quantum chemical analyses of new donor-acceptor complexes between N-heterocyclic carbenes and 1,2,5-telluradiazoles and a comparison with previously known complexes involving tellurenyl cations showed that the dative C-Te bonds cannot be solitarily described with only one Lewis formula. Canonical Lewis formulas that denote covalency and arrows emphasizing ionicity complement each other in varying extents. Evaluation of the relative weights of these resonance forms requires proper bonding description with a well-balanced toolbox of analytical methods. If for conciseness only, one resonance form is used, it must be the most significant one according to the analytical evaluation. If unclear, all significant resonance forms should be displayed.

“…In all bimetallic complexes, including [2](Cl) and [3](Cl), the bond index between the ruthenium and platinum atoms remains very low (Ͻ0.05), which is usually interpreted as an absence of direct chemical bonding between the two metal centers. [46] …”

Ruthenium‐to‐Platinum Interactions in η⁶,η¹ NCN‐Pincer Arene Heterobimetallic Complexes: An Experimental and Theoretical Study

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A series of η6,η1‐heterobimetallic complexes have been prepared in which a [Ru(η6‐arene)(C5R5)]+ fragment (R = H or Me) and an η1‐NCN‐pincer platinum fragment are combined within the same molecule. In complexes [2]+ and [3]+, the ruthenium and platinum centers are η6 and η1 coordinated, respectively, to the same arene ring, whereas in [4A]+ and [5A]+ they are coordinated to two different arene rings that are linked with a covalent bond ([4A]+) or an ethyl bridge ([5A]+). Upon changing the organic manifold between both metal centers, very strong ([2]+) to very weak ([5A]+) ruthenium‐to‐platinum interactions are obtained. Experimentally, X‐ray crystal structures show an increaing steric hindrance when the Ru–Pt distance diminishes, and electrochemical and 195Pt NMR spectroscopic studies show a decreasing electron density on platinum from [5A]+ to [2]+. Theoretical DFT calculations were undertaken, which show an increasing charge on platinum from [5A]+ to [2]+. Our theoretical analysis shows that the particularly strong ruthenium‐to‐platinum electronic interactions in [2]+ and [3]+ do not come from binding of ruthenium to platinum, but from the pincer Cipso sharing its electron density between both metal centers, which decreases the σ donation to platinum, and from increased backdonation of the platinum d electrons into the π system of the arene ring.
