Introduction
In previous work we showed that the oxo complex [(LAu)3-
(µ-O)]+ (L ) a phosphine) is an excellent reagent for the
Transition metal complexes containing metal bonded N2 units
are important in dinitrogen activation and reduction. As a result,
N2 coordination chemistry is of great interest to chemists.1-9
Hydrazido metal complexes are critical models for intermediates
in dinitrogen reduction. The crystal structure determination of
the nitrogenase FeMo cofactor has revealed an Fe7MoS9
cluster10,11 at the active center where dinitrogen coordinates and
is reduced. With the likely involvement of multimetal center
dinitrogen bonding to this cluster, both initially and during
dinitrogen reduction,12-15 polymetallic hydrazido complexes
have taken on a new importance in dinitrogen reduction
modeling. While there are a number of known polymetallic
hydrazido complexes that may serve as models for nitrogenase
dinitrogen reduction, the bulk of these involve early transition
metal systems. Very few complexes past group seven are known,
yet late transition metal complexes may reveal new bonding
modes to consider in dinitrogen reduction.16
formation of complexes with multisite Au-N bonding and that
the reaction of the oxo complex with hydrazines yields a series
of these complexes. The type of complex isolated depends on
the hydrazine substitution. With unsubstituted hydrazine, the
first group 11 dinitrogen complexes [(LAu)6(µ-N2)]2+ were
obtained,16-18 while with substituted hydrazines either the
trimetallic hydrazido complexes,17-19 [(LAu)3(µ-NNR2)]+ or
rearranged semidine complexes20 [(LAu)3(µ-NC6H4NHPh)]+,
were isolated. Similar exchange reactions with the platinum
hydroxo complexes [L2Pt(µ-OH)]22+ (L2 ) a bidentate diphos-
phine) and hydrazine yielded the dimetallic dihydrazido com-
2+ 21
plexes [L2Pt(µ-NHNH2)]2
.
Given the scarcity of late tran-
sition metal polymetallic hydrazido complexes, and the differences
in the gold oxo hydrazine reaction chemistry with hydrazine
substitution, we have extended our investigation of the platinum
2+
system to reactions of [L2Pt(µ-OH)]2 (L2 ) dppp) with
substituted hydrazines. The formation and characterization of
a bridging side-on 1,2-dimethylhydrazido complex and bridging
end-on 1,1-dimethylhydrazido and phenylhydrazido complexes
are described herein.
