Abstract
Dodecamethylcyclohexaphosphazene N6P6Me12, 1, forms 1:1 complexes with palladium(II) chloride, 2, and platinum(II) chloride, 3. Their 31P, 1H, and 13C nmr spectra show them to be rigid molecules in solution, with an approximate plane of symmetry. Crystals of 2 are orthorhombic, a = 17.4030(3), b = 15.4897(5), c = 10.7417(2) Å, Z = 4, space group P21212. The structure was determined from diffractometer X-ray data and refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to R = 0.031 for 3545 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The metal atom has square planar coordination, and forms 6- and 10-membered chelate rings with the phosphazene ligand. The mean P—N bond length is 1.609 Å; the variation of bond lengths within the ring is consistent with model calculations of changes in bond order arising from the localization of bonding electrons.
