The new nonsymmetric ditertiary phosphane, Ph2P(CH2)2PAd (1), was prepared in one‐step from Ph2PCH=CH2 andH‐PAd (H‐PAd = 1,3,5,7‐tetramethyl‐2,4,8‐trioxa‐6‐phosphaadamantane) by a hydrophosphination reaction using 2,2′‐azo‐bisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as free radical initiator. The sterically encumbered phosphaadamantane cage in 1 was found to influence the coordination capabilities of this ligand. The reaction of 1 with [PdCl2(cod)] or [Pt(CH3)2(cod)] (cod = cycloocta‐1,5‐diene) gave the corresponding κ2‐P,P′‐chelate complexes cis‐[PdCl2(1)] (2) and cis‐[Pt(CH3)2(1)] (3), respectively. The dinuclear gold(I) complex [Ph2P(AuCl)(CH2)2PAd(AuCl)] (4) was prepared from 1 and 2 equiv. of [AuCl(tht)] (tht = tetrahydrothiophene). In contrast, the cleavage of the chloro‐bridged dimers {RuCl2(η6‐p‐cymene)}2 or {MCl2(η5‐Cp*)}2 (M = Rh, Ir) with 1 gave the κ1‐P‐monodentate complexes [RuCl2(η6‐p‐cymene)(1)] (5), [RhCl2(η5‐Cp*)(1)] (6) and [IrCl2(η5‐Cp*)(1)] (7), respectively, in which the ‐PAd group is non‐coordinating. Chloride abstraction from 6 (or 7) can be accomplished upon addition of Na[SbF6] to generate the cationic κ2‐P,P′‐chelate complexes 8b (and 9b). Alternatively 8a (or 9a) could be observed, as their chloride salts, by 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy upon addition of several drops of CH3OH to CDCl3 solutions of 6 (or 7). The reaction of 5–7 with [AuCl(tht)] gave the dinuclear complexes [κ2‐P,P′‐μ‐RuCl2(η6‐p‐cymene){Ph2P(CH2)2PAd(AuCl)}] (10), [κ2‐P,P′‐μ‐RhCl2(η5‐Cp*){Ph2P(CH2)2PAd(AuCl)}] (11) and [κ2‐P,P′‐μ‐IrCl2(η5‐Cp*){Ph2P(CH2)2PAd(AuCl)}] (12). Reaction of two equiv. of 5 with the labile precursors [PdCl2(CH3CN)2] or [PtCl2(PhCN)2] gave instead the novel trinuclear Ru2Pd and Ru2Pt complexes trans‐[{κ2‐P,P′‐μ‐RuCl2(η6‐p‐cymene){Ph2P(CH2)2PAd}}2PdCl2] (13) and trans‐[{κ2‐P,P′‐μ‐RuCl2(η6‐p‐cymene){Ph2P(CH2)2PAd}}2PtCl2] (14), respectively. All new compounds have been fully characterised by spectroscopic and analytical methods. Furthermore the structures of 3·CHCl3, 4, 5, 7·CHCl3, 10·CH2Cl2·0.5C2H10O and 13·2CH2Cl2 have been elucidated by single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography. The X‐ray structures of 10·CH2Cl2·0.5C4H10O and 13·2CH2Cl2 demonstrate how nonsymmetric ditertiary phosphane complexes bearing one pendant phosphaadamantane moiety can be used as metalloligands in the controlled syntheses of novel bi‐ and trimetallic complexes.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
