Facile Addition and Elimination Reactions of Fluorocarbon Acids at Platinum

Reaction of the fluorocarbon acid H2C(SO2CF3)2 with (Ph3P)2Pt(C2H4) yields trans-(Ph3P)2PtH in which restricted rotation about a covalent Pt-C bond was demonstrated by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy.This compound rearranges to the cis isomer by first-order kinetics and is rapidly solvolyzed by Lewis bases to afford trans-(Ph3P)2PtHL+-HC(SO2CF3)2- (L = CH3CN, DMF, CH3OH, H2O, and THF).Complexes containing weak Lewis bases (THF and CH3OH) are unstable and dimerize to form (Ph3P)3Pt2(μ-H)(μ-PPh2)Ph+HC(SO2CF3)2- , a = 14.039(2) Angstroem, b = 20.318(3) Angstroem, c = 13.626(3) Angstroem, α = 94.43(1) deg, β = 95.69(1) deg, γ = 77.47(1) deg, Z = 2, R = 0.059>.Solvolysis of the cis isomer is slower by a factor of ca. 18.

Stability of (Chloromethyl)platinum(II) Complexes

The stabilities of , (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) and a range of phosphine-containing mono- and cis-bis-(chloromethyl)platinum(II) complexes have been investigated in deuteriochloroform at room temperature.Some of the bis(chloromethyl) derivatives appear to be indefinitely stable (cod and chelating arylphosphines), others suffer very slow decomposition to the dichlorides (non-chelating arylphosphines), and the remainder decompose relatively rapidly, and cleanly, to the dichlorides plus ethylene (alkylphosphines, non-chelating faster than chelating).Rapid decomposition of the arylphosphine complexes can be induced by adding hexafluoroisopropyl alcohol to the deuteriochloroform solutions.Attempts to generate 2> by addition of P(C6H11)3 to resulted in the formation of cis--+(C6H11)3>Cl2>; a mechanism is proposed.All cis-mono(chloromethyl) derivatives studied appear to be indefinitely stable.In contrast, the trans-mono(chloromethyl) complexes, although stable in very dry solvent, undergo decomposition in the presence of moisture to the corresponding hydrides plus formaldehyde; a mechanism is proposed.The hydrides undergo subsequent conversion into a mixture of cis and trans dichlorides.
