Abstract

The reactions of the tertiary phosphine oxides Ph3PO, Ph2MePO or Me3PO with hydrated yttrium(III) nitrate in ethanol gave the complexes [Y(R3PO)2(EtOH)(NO3)3] (R3PO = Ph3PO or Ph2MePO), [Y(Me3PO)2(H2O)(NO3)3], [Y(R3PO)3(NO3)3] (R3PO = Ph3PO, Ph2MePO or Me3PO), and [Y(Ph3PO)4(NO3)2]NO3. The species [Y(R3PO)4(NO3)2]NO3 (R3PO = Ph2MePO or Me3PO) were formed from [Y(R3PO)3(NO3)3] and an excess of R3PO in CH2Cl2 solution and identified spectroscopically, but have not been isolated as solids. Corresponding reactions of hydrated scandium(III) nitrate produced [Sc(Ph3PO)2(NO3)3], [Sc(Ph2MePO)3(NO3)3], [Sc(Ph2MePO)4(NO3)2]NO3, [Sc(Me3PO)2(EtOH)(NO3)3], and [Sc(Me3PO)6][NO3]3. All complexes were characterised by elemental analysis, IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy and conductance measurements. Variable temperature 89Y, 45Sc and 31P-{1H} NMR spectroscopies have been used to identify species present in solution, and probe the interconversions. 31P-{1H} NMR studies show that exchange with added R3PO in solution is slow on the NMR timescale. Crystal structures were determined for [Y(Ph3PO)2(EtOH)(NO3)3] and [Y(R3PO)3(NO3)3] (R3PO = Ph3PO, Ph2MePO or Me3PO): all contain 9-co-ordinate Y with symmetrically co-ordinated bidentate nitrate groups. Structures of the 8-co-ordinate [Sc(Ph3PO)2(NO3)3] and [Sc(Ph2MePO)4(NO3)2]NO3 are also described.
