A series of gold(III) and palladium(II) heterometallic complexes with new iminophosphorane ligands derived from ferrocenylphosphanes [{Cp-P(Ph 2) N-Ph}2Fe] (1), [{Cp-P(Ph2) N-CH 2-2-NC5H4}2Fe] (2), and [{Cp-P(Ph2) N-CH2-2-NC5H4}Fe(Cp)] (3) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Ligands 2 and 3 afford stable coordination complexes [AuCl2(3)]ClO4, [{AuCl 2}2(2)](ClO4)2, [PdCl 2(3)], and [{PdCl2}2(2)]. The complexes have been evaluated for their antiproliferative properties in human ovarian cancer cells sensitive and resistant to cisplatin (A2780S/R), in human breast cancer cells (MCF7) and in a nontumorigenic human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293T). The highly cytotoxic trimetallic derivatives M2Fe (M = Au, Pd) are more cytotoxic to cancer cells than their corresponding monometallic fragments. Moreover, these complexes were significantly more cytotoxic than cisplatin in the resistant A2780R and the MCF7 cell lines. Studies of the interactions of the trimetallic compounds with DNA and the zinc-finger protein PARP-1 indicate that they exert anticancer effects in vitro based on different mechanisms of actions with respect to cisplatin.

The series of 2-substituted diphenylphosphine pyridines 1-5 were synthesized and subsequently oxidized with silyl or aryl azides to give the series of pyridine-phosphinimine ligands 2-(Me3SiNPPh2)C5H4N (9), 2-(2,6-Me2C6H3NPPh2) C5H4N (10), 2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6 H3-NPPh2)C5 H4N (11), 2-(2,6-Me2C6H3 NPPh2)-6-MeC5H4N (12), 2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3NPPh2)-6- MeC5H4N (13), 2-(2,6-Me2C6H3NPPh2)-6- BnC5H4N (14), 2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3NPPh2)-6- BnC5H4N (15), 2-(2,6-Me2C6H3NPPh2)-6- SiMe3C5H4N (16), 2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3NPPh2)-6- SiMe3C5H4N (17), 2-(2,6-Me2C6H3NPPh2)-6- PhC5H4N (18), and 2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3NPPh2)-6- PhC5H4N (19). Attempts to oxidize the fluorinated phosphine 2-P(C6F5)2-6-PhC5 H3N (6) were unsuccessful. The ligand 9 reacted with PdCl2(PhCN)2 to the give the square-planar, diamagnetic compound (L)PdCl2 (20; L = 9), while the remaining ligands were used to prepare (L)NiBr2 and (L)-FeCl2; complexes 21-30 and 31-40 (L = 10-19), respectively. In these complexes the P atoms become part of the chelate backbone. In addition, the pyridine-phosphinimines 2-(Ph3P=NCH2)(C5H4N) (44), 2-(Ph3PNCH2)-6-Me(C5H3N) (45), and 2-(Ph3PNCH2)-6-Ph(C5H3N) (46) were also prepared from the reaction of 2-azidomethyl-pyridines with PPh3. In a similar fashion the complexes (L)PdCl2 (47, 48; L = 44, 45), (L)NiBr2 (49-51; L = 44-46), (L)FeCl2 (52, 53), and (L)CoCl2 (54, 55; L = 44, 45) were prepared. In addition, the imidazole-phosphines 1-Me-2-(PPh2)C3H2N2 (58), 1-Me-2-(PPh2)-4,5-Ph2C3N2 (59), and 1-Me-2-(PPh2)-C7H6N2 (60) were prepared and oxidized to give the imidazole-phosphinimines 1-Me-2-(2,6-Me2C6H3N=PPh2) C3H2N2 (61), 1-Me-2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N=PPh2) C3H2N2 (62), 1-Me-2-(2,6-Me2C6H3N=PPh2)-4,5- Ph2C3N2 (63), 1-Me-2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N=PPh2)-4,5- Ph2C3N2 (64), 1-Me-2-(2,6-Me2C6H3N=PPh2) C7H6N2 (65), 1-Me-2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N=PPh2) C7H6N2 (66) and 1-Me-2-(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3N=PPh2)-4- (t-Bu)C3HN2 (67). Subsequent complexation afforded the species (L)PdCl2 (68; L = 61), (L)NiBr2 (69-75; L = 61-67), and (L)FeCl2 (76-82; L = 61-67). Preliminary screening for activity as catalyst precursors for ethylene polymerization indicated that ethylene oligomerization may be occurring. In the case of complexes 30, 40, 74, and 82 activation with Et2AlCl(ClC6H5) at 35°C under 300 psi of ethylene effected modest catalytic dimerization of ethylene to mainly C4 alkenes. DFT computations suggested that inclusion of P into the ligand results in diminished electrophilicity at the metal and thus a weakened ethylene-metal interaction, accounting for the modest catalytic activity. X-ray structure determinations were obtained for 2, 20, 26, 27, 35, 37, 40, 49-51, 54, 68, 79, and 82.
