Abstract

Treatment of Na2PdCl4 or [MCl2(PhCN)2] with bis(4-pyridyl)diselenide yielded an insoluble product of composition [MCl2(4,4′-(C5H4N)2Se2)]n (1). The reactions of Na2PdCl4 with one and two eq. of Na(4-SeC5H4N) afforded insoluble products [PdCl(4-SeC5H4N)]n (2) and [Pd(4-SeC5H4N)2]n (3), respectively. On treatment with PPh3, 2 and 3 gave trans-[PdCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PPh3)2] (4a) and trans-[Pd(4-SeC5H4N)2(PPh3)2] (5a), respectively. The oxidative addition of bis(4-pyridyl)diselenide to Pt(PPh3)4 exclusively yielded trans-[Pt(4-SeC5H4N)2(PPh3)2] (5b). The treatment of two eq. of Na(4-SeC5H4N) with cis-[PtX2(PR3)2] afforded 5b (X = Cl) and trans-[Pt(4-SeC5H4N)2(PEt3)2] (5c) (X = Cl or CF3SO3). The reactions of cis-[MCl2(PP)] and [M2Cl2(μ-Cl)2(PR3)2] with two eq. of Na(4-SeC5H4N) exclusively yielded cis-[M(4-SeC5H4N)2(PP)] (M/PP = Pd/dppe (6a), Pt/dppm (6b) and Pt/dppp (6c)) and [MCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PR3)]n (7), respectively. The complex trans-[PtCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PEt3)2] (4b) was isolated from the redistribution reaction between 5c and cis-[PtCl2(PEt3)2]. The complex [PdCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PPh3)]n (7b) exists in bi- and tri-nuclear forms, whereas [MCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PEt3)]n (7a, 7c) and [PtCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PMe2Ph)]n (7d) retain their trinuclear structure in solution. Molecular structures of 4a, 4b, 5a, 5c, 6a, 6c, 7a, 7b and 7c were established by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The complexes trans-[PdCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PPh3)2] and [PdCl(4-SeC5H4N)(PPh3)]n can act as catalysts for Suzuki C–C cross coupling reaction.
