New Isocyanide-Platinum Complexes P. M. Treichel,* W. J. Knebel, and R . W . Hess Contribution from the Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706. Received November 23. 1970 Abstract: A number of studies of platinum(I1)-isocyanide complexes have been carried out including (1) the ~ ]alkylation [ B F ~ ] Z of K2Pt(CN)4 and (phos)~Pt(CN)z with synthesis of [Pt(CNCH3)4][BF4]2 and [ ( ~ ~ o s ) ~ P ~ ( C N C H ~ )by [(CH&0][BF4]; (2) the reactions of LPtXz and CHaNC(L = several phosphines, (C6HS)&, (CBHs0)3P;X = C1, Br, I) to give LPt(CNCH3)X2,(CH3NC),PtX2,[LSt(CNCH3)X][X],or [L2Pt(CNCH&X][X],depending on L and X and on the conditions of the reaction (the complexes [(phos)2Pt(CNCH3)X][X](X = Br, Cl) on heating in benzene slowly lose CH3X to give (phos),Pt(CN)X); (3) the reactions of [(ph0s)~Pt(CNCH~)21[Al and various anions X- to give [(phos),Pt(CNCH3)X][A] and/or (phos)zPtXs [(phos), = diphos only; X = C1, SCN, CN] and [(phos)zPtor (phos)zPt(CN4CHJ~[(phos), = (CNCH&X][A] (X = I), with azide ion to give [(phos)2Pt(CNCH3)CN4CH3][A] diphos only], with nitrite ion to give [(~~O~)~P~(CNCH,)CONHCH~][A], with CGFsLior CH3Li to give (phos)zPtRz and phosPt(CNCH,)R1, and with alkoxide ion to give [(phos)2Pt(CNCH3)C(OR)=NCHJA] or (phos)zPt { C(OR)= NCH312 [ ( p h ~ s = ) ~ diphos only]. The former compound can be alkylated by [(CH&O][BF4], then treated again with alkoxide ion to give [(ph~s)~Pt {C(OR)=NHCH,) { C(OR)=N(CH& ] ][BF412. The new compounds reported here are characterized fully by analyses, and infrared and nmr spectroscopic studies are reported. Conductivities in acetonitrile have been run on appropriate ionic complexes.

M

ost of the early work on platinum-isocyanide complexes' dealt with complexes of the genera1 formulas (RNC)*PtX* and [(RNC)4Pt][A]2 (A = noncoordinating anion), and since these stoichiometries are quite typical for this metal in the divalent state, such complexes would not attract much attention. However, with a general resurgence of research on metal isocyanide complexes in recent months, it is not surprising that new and interesting work has appeared. In particular, two outstanding observations have been made in studies on these complexes. The first, that small molecules such as alcohols and primary and secondary amines add to the carbon-nitrogen multiple bond in a coordinated isocyanide ligand, was accomplished initially using the complex {(C2H&P)Pt(CNCd%)C12. However, this work just preceded two reports3' describing the structural characterization of related complexes derived from [Pt(CNR),][PtCI4] and hydrazine which had been incorrectly identified by C h ~ g a e v ;these ~ complexes apparently originate from additions of N-H units to two coordinated isocyanides. Subsequent to these studies, additions of alcohol to isocyanide ligands in (RNC)2PtC12 complexes,6 and in isocyanide complexes of palladium,' have been reported. The second observation concerned isolation of complexes of the formula [(phos)2Pt(CNCH3)R][X] and their subsequent rearrangement to imino complexes, ( ~ ~ O S ) ~ P ~ ( C R = N C H , This ) X . ~work, reminiscent of carbonylation reactions, has been shown to occur with several other metal^,^^'^ and clearly em(1) The background material in this area is reviewed well in a recent book: L.

phasizes the analogy between carbonyl and isocyanide ligand groups. In addition to these papers there have also appeared the syntheses of several complexes, [ {(CzHJ3PI2Pt(CNR)X][CIO,], included in a more general study on { (C2H&P],Pt(L)X][C1O4] complexes," and the description of several trichlorostannatoisocyanideplatinum(I1) complexes.6 We began the work described in this paper with a successful synthesis of several new platinum(I1)isocyanide complexes from cyanoplatinum(I1) species by alkylation reactions, and continued in a study of their reactions with various nucleophiles (X-). Because products such as [ ( ~ ~ O ~ ) ~ P ~ ( C N R ) arise X ] [ Ain] these reactions, we decided to investigate reactions of (phos)zPtXz complexes with isocyanides; this work also fit in with our studies on reactions of platinum alkyls and arylss and methyl isocyanide, which give initially [(phos>,Pt(CNCH,)R][X]. One aspect of the present work, the dealkylation of methyl isocyanide, was published in preliminary form.'* We now wish to present a detailed description of our work on platinum(I1) isocyanide chemistry. Experimental Section Infrared spectra (4000-400 cm-1) were recorded on a Beckman IR-10 spectrometer, using Nujol mulls and KBr plates; highresolution data on Y C = N were obtained on a Perkin-Elmer Model 421 spectrometer using chloroform solutions. Proton nmr spectra were obtained on Varian A-60 and T-60 spectrometers using tetramethylsilane, 7 10.0, as an internal standard. Conductivity measurements were made on -5 x M dichloromethane and acetonitrile solutions with a Beckman conductivity bridge, Model RC-ISA, and a Beckman conductivity cell with cell constant k = 0.20. Analyses were performed by Galbraith Laboratories, Knoxville, Tenn., and by the Schwarzkopf Microanalytical Laboratory, Woodside, N. Y. Conductivity data are summarized in Table I. (9) S. Otsuka, A.
