Synthesis, Structure, and Deprotonation of a Mesitylphosphido-Bridged Cyclopentadienylnickel(II) Dimer

Abstract: The bridging phosphido complex [NiCp(μ-PHMes)]2 (1, Mes = 2,4,6-Me3C6H2) was prepared from NiCp2 and PH2Mes. Deprotonation and methylation of 1 yields (NiCp)2(μ-PHMes)(μ-PMeMes) (4) and [NiCp(μ-PMeMes)]2 (6) via observable anionic phosphinidene intermediates. NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize syn and anti isomers of 1, 4, and 6, and the structures of anti-1a and syn-6b were determined by X-ray crystallography.

“…The observed bond lengths of the P 2 Ni 2 ring fit well to those found in the analogous phosphido bridged dinuclear NiCp-complexes, [CpNi(PHMes)] 2 (NiϪP 215.2 pm, NiϪNi 334.1 pm) [21] and [CpNi(PPh 2 )] 2 (NiϪP 215.6 pm, NiϪNi 335.7 pm) [22] as well as in the tetramethylphospholyl complex [(η 5 -C 4 Me 4 P)Ni(µ-C 4 Me 4 P)] 2 (NiϪP 217.1 pm, NiϪNi 334.0 pm) [23]. Suitable crystals were obtained from a cooled (ϩ5°C) solution in THF containing C 6 H 6 .…”

“…Several papers by the groups of Haupt [33], Scheer [34], Whitmire [35], Glueck [36] and Mays [37] also dealt with deprotonation of PHR-bridged dinuclear complexes which, as judged from trapping experiments with halocomplexes or other electrophiles, led to the formation of intermediate anionic phosphinidene complexes. However, most of these intermediates were poorly characterised and unstable species for which even their solution structures could not be defined clearly.…”

“…The protonation reaction of the lithium salt of the dianionic bis(phosphinidene) complex and anti isomers (R = H), or only as the syn isomer (R = Me) [36]. Likewise, the diplatinum phosphinidene complex 30, also generated in situ, reacted with excess MeI to form the phosphanyl dication 76, whereas the addition of excess BH 3 ·THF led to the borane adduct 77 (Scheme 41) [41].…”

“…For example, the signal due to the mesitylphosphinidene ligand in C 5 R 5 W(CO) 2 (μ-PMes)C 5 R 5 W(CO) 2 (PH 2 Mes) appears at δ 313.9 (R = H) and 397.4 (R = Me), while for [Cp*W(CO) 2 ] 2 (μ-PMes) this resonance is observed at δ 589.4 . The chemical shift of the μ-phosphinidene ligand in 1 , δ −56.8, is more similar to that of Li 2 [NiCp(μ-PMes)] 2 (δ 13.8), consistent with a lack of multiple bonding in these cases and disfavoring structure 1a .…”
