Reactivities of organic isothiocyanates and thiocyanates toward dialkyl bis(phosphine) complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II)

Room-temperature reactions of trans-[PdEt2L2] (L = PMe3, PEt3, PMe2Ph) with organic isothiocyanates [R-NCS; R = benzyl; CH(CH3)Ph, R-(-) and S-(+); indanyl, S-(+)] afforded the S,S-coordinated Pd(II) complexes [Pd(S2CN-R)L2] containing a dithiocarbonimidato (S2CN-R) group. Similar reactions involving allyl isothiocyanates produced the cationic η3-allyl Pd complex [Pd(η3-allyl)(PMe3)2]+(NCS)-. When [Pd(S2CN-R)(PMe3)2] was treated with 1 equiv of a chelating phosphine [L-L = depe (1,2-bis(diethylphosphino)ethane) and dmpe (1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane)], the corresponding complexes [Pd(S2CN-R)(L-L)] were produced. Reactions of trans-[PdEt2L2] (L = PMe3, PMe2Ph) with organic thiocyanates (R-SCN; R = benzyl, Et) resulted in the formation of [Pd(CN)2L2] and an organic disulfide by S-C bond cleavage of R-SCN. However, similar reactions of the dimethyl analogs, trans-[PdMe2L2] (L = PMe3, PEt3), with benzyl thiocyanate afforded different products, [Pd(NCS)2L2] or [PdMe(NCS)L2]. Treating [Pt(styrene)(PMe3)2] with benzyl isothiocyanate gave the S-coordinated dithiocarbonimidato Pt(II) complex, [Pt(S2CN-R)(Me3P)2] (R = benzyl). In contrast, cis-[PtEt2(PMe3)2] reacted with the isothiocyanate to afford the trialkyl Pt(IV) complex [PtEt2(SCN)(CH2Ph)(PMe3)2].

Reactivity of alkynyl Pd(II) azido complexes toward organic isocyanides, isothiocyanates, and nitriles

Alkynyl Pd(II) azido complexes of the type [Pd(N3)(C≡C-R) L2] (1-3) were obtained by reactions of aqueous NaN3 with [Pd(Cl)(C≡C-R)L2] (R = Ph or C(O)OMe). Treating compounds 1-3 with organic isocyanides (R-NC) afforded novel complexes, trans-[Pd(C≡C- Ph)(N=C=N-R)(PMe3)2] (R = 2,6-Me2C 6H3 (4) or 2,6-Et2C6H3 (5)) and trans-[Pd(C≡C-R)(CN4-t-Bu)L2] (6: L = PMe3, R = Ph; 7: L = PEt3, R = C(O)OMe; 8: L = PMe 3, R = C(O)OMe), which contain either a carbodiimido or a C-coordinated tetrazolato group. Reactions of compounds 1 and 2 with R-N=C=S (R = 2,6-Me2C6H3 or CH2CH3) and 1,4-phenylene diisothiocyanate (C6H4(N=C=S) 2) smoothly proceeded to give tetrazole-thiolato complexes, trans-[Pd(C≡CPh)(SCN4-R)L2] (L = PMe3, R = Et (9) or 2,6-Me2C6H3 (10); L = PEt 3, R = 2,6-Me2C6H3 (11)), and a phenylene-bridged dinuclear Pd(II) tetrazole-thiolato complex, [(PEt 3)2(C≡CPh)Pd(SCN4-(μ-C 6H4)-SCN4)Pd(C≡CPh)(PEt3) 2] (12), respectively. Complexes 9-12 contain the Pd-S bond that is formed by the dipolar cycloaddition of the organic isothiocyanate to the Pd-azido bond. In contrast, the corresponding reactions of compounds 1and 2 with C6F5CN and Me3SiCN (organic nitriles, R-CN) gave an N-coordinated Pd(II)-tetrazolato compound {trans-[Pd(C≡C-Ph) (N4C-C6F5)(PMe3)2] (13)} and a mixture of Pd(II)-cyano complexes {trans-[Pd(C≡C-Ph)(CN)(PEt 3)2] (14) and [Pd(CN)2(PEt3) 2] (15)}, respectively. Bis(phosphine) bis(cyano) complexes of Pd and Ni, [M(CN)2L2] (L = PEt3, PMe3; L2 = DEPE), could be obtained independently by the reactions of [M(N3)2L2] with excess Me3SiCN in organic solvents.
