Cyclometallated platinum compounds with N-benzylidenebenzylamines bearing trifluoromethyl groups. Crystal structure of [PtMe{3-(CF3) C6H3CH=NCH2Ph(PPh3)]

The reaction of [Pt2Me4(μ-SMe2)2] (1) with the imine 3-(CF3)C6H4CH=NCH2Ph (2a) yields the cyclometallated compound [PtMe{3-(CF3)C6H3CH=NCH2Ph}(SMe 2)] (3a) by selective metallation at the less hindered of the two ortho positions of the aryl ring followed by loss of methane. A similar reaction for imine 2-(CF3)C6H4CH=NCH2Ph (2c) yields the cyclometallated compound [PtMe{2-(CF3)C6H3CH=NCH2Ph} (SMe2)] (3c). The reactions of these compounds with triphenylphosphine in (1 : 1) ratio produce compounds [PtMe(3-(CF3)C6H3CH=NCH2Ph}(PPh 3)] (4a) and [PtMe{2-(CF3)C6H3CH=NCH2Ph}(PPh 3)] (4c). The X-ray structure of 4a is reported. An excess of triphenylphosphine produces metallacycle cleavage and [PtMe{3-(CF3)C6H3CH=NCH2Ph}(PPh 3)2] (5a) is formed with the imine acting as a [C....] unidentate ligand. Oxidative addition of methyl iodide to compounds 4a and 4c gives cyclometallated platinum(IV) complexes. Imines 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3CH=NCH2Ph (2b) and 2-F-6-(CF3)C6H3CH=NCH2Ph (2d) fail to react with [Pt2Me4(μ-SMe2)2] (1).
