Coordination chemistry of bis(3-aminopropyl)phenylphosphine (bap): reactions of bap with some d 6 metal complexes of molybdenum(0), tungsten(0) and platinum(IV)

Abstract

Bis(3-aminopropyl)phenylphosphine (bap) has been reacted with fac-[{PtMe 3I} 4] in CHCl 3 solution to yield fac-[PtMe 3(bap)]I which has the bap ligand tridentate NNP. Metathesis of fac-[PtMe 3(bap)]I with Na[BPh 4] in thf solution results in fac-[PtMe 3(bap)][BPh 4]. Bap is also NNP tridentate in the Group 6 metal(0) complexes fac-[Mo(CO) 3(bap)] and fac-[W(CO) 3(bap)], prepared from the reactions of bap with cis-[M(CO) 4(pip) 2] (M = Mo, W). The new complexes have been characterized by melting point, elemental analysis, and by IR and multielement ( 1H, 11B, 31P) NMR spectroscopy.
