Pentafluorophenylphosphine complexes of platinum(II); crystal structure of trans-[PtCl2(PEt3){PPh2 (C6F5)}]

Abstract

The reactions between the pentafluorophenylphosphines PPh x (C 6 F 5 ) 3-x (x = 0–2) and the dimeric platinum(II) species [{Pt(PEt 3 )Cl(µ-Cl)} 2 ] yielded the complexes trans-[PtCl 2 (PEt 3 ){PPh x (C 6 F 5 ) 3-x }] (x = 0 1, 1 2 or 2 3). The molecular structure of complex 3 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, it crystallizes in the triclinic space group P[1 with combining macron] with Z = 4 with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, a = 12.067(2), b = 14.131(1), c = 16.393(2) Å, α = 76.92(1), β = 79.08(1), γ = 89.40(1)°. Variable-temperature 19 F NMR spectroscopic studies, performed at 282.41 MHz, were carried out and showed that there is hindered rotation about the P–C 6 F 5 bonds of complex 1, which was frozen out at 197 K. There was no evidence of hindered rotation about the P–C bonds of complexes 2 and 3 down to 184 K.
