Abstract

6-(2-Diphenylphosphinoethyl)-2,2′-bipyridine, L, has been prepared in three steps from 6-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine: (i) metallation followed by reaction with paraformaldehyde; (ii) bromination with HBr–MeCO2H; (iii) phosphination using Li(PPh2). Reaction of L with [{RuCl2(CO)2}n] in NEt3–MeOH gave a mixture of trans-Cl2-[RuCl2L(CO)] 1 and cis-Cl2-[RuCl2L(CO)] 2, the L ligand displaying in both complexes a meridional tridentate binding mode. This behaviour was confirmed, in the case of 1, by an X-ray structural study. Electrochemical oxidation of 1 and 2 is reversible and occurs at E½ = 0.80 V and 1.04 V vs. Ag–Ag+ (0.01 M), respectively. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 shows one irreversible system at Epc = –1.71 V and two reversible systems at E½ = –1.86 and –1.91 V. In the presence of CO2 the latter redox system exhibits a pronounced electrocatalytic current, resulting in the formation of carbon monoxide. Reaction of L with [{RuCl2(CO)2}n] in the presence of small amounts of H+ afforded the monodentate L complex cis-Cl2-trans-P,P-cis-(CO)2-[RuCl2L2(CO)2] 3 (yield 80%). Copper(I)-induced assembly of two molecules of 3 results in the selective and quantitative formation of a 36-membered metallomacrocycle 4. This complex exhibits a quasi-reversible oxidation at E½ = 0.29 V and an electrodeposition–redissolution redox system at Epc = –0.21 and Epa = –0.10 V due to formation of Cu0 on the electrode surface. Reaction of L with [{RhCl(C2H4)2}2] led to the (chloromethyl)rhodium(III) complex [RhCl2(CH2Cl)L] 5 (90%). Treatment of 5 in ethanol in the presence of silver(I) resulted in the formation of [RhCl2(CH2OEt)L] 6 (63% yield), where the meridional arrangement of the phosphine was maintained.
