carbon atom of Ph3PdCdCdO14 makes possible, in
principle, a nucleophilic attack of this carbon to an
electron-deficient metal center.
NMR spectra show signals at 22-25 ppm, a zone far
from that of free Ph3PdCdCdO,21 attributable to the
phosphonium group. The 13C{1H} NMR spectrum re-
corded for the most stable compound 2a shows, together
with the typical signals of the allyl moiety,22 the
Cationic η1-ketenyl derivatives [M(η3-2-R-C3H4){η1-
C(PPh3)(CO)}(PPh3)]+ (M ) Pt, R ) H, 2a ;15 M ) Pd, R

sponding solvate complexes17 with 1 equiv of 1 at room
temperature for 2a and at -30 °C for 2b, according to

carbonylic carbon as a doublet at 156.73 ppm (2J CP

18.9 Hz), in the range observed for other η1-ketenyl
derivatives.3a,7c A doublet at 9.26 ppm (1J CP ) 59.0 Hz),
with 195Pt satellites covered by instrumental noise, is
assigned to the ylidic carbon; the high-field shift and
the decrease of 1J CP with respect to free Ph3PdCdCdO21
are in agreement with the reduction of the charge
density on the C-P bond by coordination to the metal.
For compound 2a it was possible to obtain pale-yellow
crystals, suitable for a X-ray structure determination,23
by slow evaporation of a CH2Cl2/toluene solution. The
structure of 2a is shown in Figure 1 with the atom

labeling (the counterion BF4 is omitted). The coordi-
nation about Pt is consistent with a slightly distorted
square planar geometry assuming the allyl group as a
bidentate ligand bonded to the metal through C(37) and
C(39). The allyl group exhibits a structural disorder
deriving from down- or upward orientation of the carbon
atom C(38) with respect to the coordination plane of Pt.
Only a few structures of η1-ketenyls have been
reported,8c,24,25 but this is a quite new example in which
the CdCdO moiety is bonded to Pt and is involved also

(C3H5)Cl]4 gave [Pt(η3-C3H5){(η1-C(PPh3)(CO)}Cl], 2e,19
in very low yield.
The IR spectra of compounds 2a -e clearly indicate
the presence of the η1-ketenyl moiety,3a showing an
intense absorption in the region 2060-2080 cm-1. The
1H NMR spectra point out the maintenance of the η3-
allylic moiety in the coordination sphere of the metal.20

(0.060 g, 0.165 mmol) was added a cooled CH2Cl2 (5 mL) solution of 1
(0.100 g, 0.33 mmol). The solution was concentrated at -50 °C under
vacuum to ca. 3 mL, and by adding 10 mL of cooled n-hexane, a green
yellow solid precipitated, which decomposes rapidly at room temper-
ature even in the solid state. IR (Nujol, cm-1): νCO 2077 (s). 1H NMR
