Interaction of [NiBr2(dme)]
(dme = 1,2-dimethoxyethane) with 1 equivalent of
(Ph2PN)C(Ph)[N(SiMe3)2]
L1 in tetrahydrofuran gave
cis-[NiBr2{(Ph2PNH)C(Ph)(
NH)}] 1, metathesis of this compound with excess
NH4BF4 in methanol gave
cis-[Ni{(Ph2PNH)C(Ph)(
NH)}2
][BF4]2 2. Reaction of
[NiBr2(dme)] with 1 equivalent of
(NC5H4){Ph2PN
)C[N(SiMe
3)2]}-4 L3 followed by metathesis
with excess NH4BF4 in methanol gave
cis-[Ni{(NC5H4)[(Ph2PNH)
C(
NH)]-4}2][BF4]2 3.
Reaction of [PdCl2(PhCN)2] with 1 equivalent of
L1 in acetonitrile gave
cis-[PdCl2{(Ph2PNH)C(Ph)(
NH)}] 4, and with 0.5 equivalent of
C6H4{C(
NPPh2)[N(SiMe
3)2]}2-1,4 L2 in
tetrahydrofuran gave
cis-[(PdCl2)2{C6H4
[C(
NPPh2){N(SiMe3)2
}]2-1,4}] 5 and
cis-[(PdCl2)2{C6H4
[C(NHPPh2)(
NH)]2-1,4}] 6.
Interaction of [PdCl2(PhCN)2] with L3
in 1∶1 and 3∶2 molar ratios gave
cis-[PdCl2{(NC5H4)[(Ph
2PNH)C(
NH)]-4}] 7 and
trans-[PdCl2{cis-PdCl2[
(NC5H4){(Ph2PNH)C(
NH)
}-4]}2] 8, respectively. Reaction of
[MCl2(PhCN)2] (M = Pd or Pt) with 2
equivalents of L3 followed by metathesis with excess
NH4BF4 in methanol gave
cis-[M{(NC5H4)[(Ph2PNH)
C(
NH)]-4}{(NC5H4)[(Ph2
PNH)C(
N)]-4}][BF4] (Pd 9 or Pt 10).
Crystal structures of compounds 1, 4, 7, 8, 9 and 10 have been
