Abstract
Reaction of a ferrocene-backbone bisphosphine-borane ligand, [Fe(η5-C5H4PPh2)(η5-C5H4PtBu{C6H4(BPh2)-o})] (FcPPB), with [Ni(cod)2] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) or 0.5 equiv of [Pd2(dba)3] (dba = trans,trans-dibenzylideneacetone) afforded [Ni(FcPPB)] (1) and [Pd(FcPPB)] (2), respectively; compound 1 does not react with dba. The FcPPB ligand in complexes 1 and 2 is coordinated via both phosphine donors and an η3BCC-interaction with boron and the ipso- and ortho-carbon atoms of a B-phenyl group. The triphosphine analogue of the FcPPB ligand, [Fe(η5-C5H4PPh2)(η5-C5H4PtBu{C6H4(PPh2)-o})] (FcPPP), was prepared by lithiation of [Fe(η5-C5H4PPh2)(η5-C5H4PtBu(C6H4Br-o)] followed by addition of Ph2PCl, and reaction of FcPPP with [Ni(cod)2] provided “Ni(FcPPP)” (3), which exists as a mixture of isomers in which the FcPPP ligand is κ3PPP-coordinated. Attempts to obtain X-ray quality crystals of 3 were derailed by its propensity to react with traces of N2 within an argon-filled glovebox, yielding rac-[{Ni(FcPPP)}2(μ-N2)]...
