Protonation reactions of Pt(PPh ) with acids HX give a wide product range. When the conjugate base X- only poorly coordinates to Pt(II), compounds of type [PtH(PPh ) ]X are formed. The second-order high field H NMR spectrum and crystal structure of [PtH(PPh ) ](CF CO ) H show the com pound to be a planar Pt(II) complex. When the conjugate base strongly coordinates to Pt(II), the products are of the type trans-PtΗΧ(ΡΡh ) . With 1-ethynylcyclohexanol the product is the Pt(IV) dihydride PtH (C≡CC H (OH) )(PPh ) . Compounds HSCH CH SMe and HSCH CH SCH CH CH SMe react with Pt(PPh) to give hydrides PtH(SCH CH SMe)PPh and PtH(SCH CH SCH CH CH SMe)PPh , respectively. In the latter compounds, the terminal thioether is uncoordinated. Complexes PtH(OPPh )(HOPPh )L (L = ΡΡh , PMePh ) result from the oxidative addition of diphenyl phosphine oxide to PtL . Data are presented on the H and P NMR spectra of PtH(OPPh )(HOPPh )PMePh and PtH(OPPh )(F BOPh )PMePh . 3 3

ydrides of Pt(II) are the most numerous of any transition metal hydride group. In addition to the presence of the hydride ligand, the complexes invariably have a coordinated phosphine, and synthetic routes to these compounds using both hydridic and protonic reagents have been reported (I ). The pure complexes are usually both air stable and kinetically inert. The purpose of this chapter is to show the diversity of hydrides that can be obtained from protonation reactions on zero-valent and di-valent triphenylphosphine platinum compounds, and to rationalize the type and nature of the product formed from the character of the acid HX. 0-8412-0390-3/78/33-167-160/$05.00/0 © American Chemical Society Bau; Transition Metal Hydrides Advances in Chemistry; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1978.

T h e zero-valent compound P t ( P P h ) undergoes a w i d e range of chemistry w i t h protonic acids. T h e initial product i n the protonation w i t h acids H X is the ionic c o m p o u n d [ P t H ( P P h ) ] X . U n d e r suitable conditions, this complex is the favored product a n d can be isolated i n h i g h y i e l d . Such a situation exists w h e n the a c i d H X is strong a n d the conjugate base X ~ is a sufficiently poor l i g a n d for Pt(II); it w i l l not undergo subsequent substitution reactions w i t h triphenylphosphine. E x a m p l e s of such conjugate bases are trifluoroacetate (2), sulfate a n d fluoroborate (3), a n d picrate (4). H o w e v e r , w h e n an a c i d is used that is weak and has a conjugate base that only poorly coordinates to Pt(II), such as acetic acid, the e q u i l i b r i u m i n (Reaction 1) can be shifted only to the h y d r i d e product i n the presence of an excess of acid, and the hydride product is not isolable from solution.

T h e * H N M R spectra of complexes [ P t H ( P P h ) ] X have been interesting (2,5) because of the apparent difference i n the s p i n - s p i n c o u p l i n g patterns be tween the center line a n d the P t - s a t e l l i t e portion of the h i g h f i e l d resonance. T h i s spectrum shows the h y d r i d e resonance centered 5.83 p p m upfield of M e S i w i t h / ( H - P ( t r a n s ) ) of 164 H z and coupled to two apparently nonequivalent cistriphenylphosphines w i t h 7 ( H - P ( c i s ) ) of 13 a n d 17 H z .

T h i s latter procedure is favored for hydrides where X only poorly coordinates to Pt(II).

E x c e p t for 1-ethynylcyclohexanol, it appears that the a d d i t i o n of protonic a c i d to triphenylphosphine p l a t i n u m hydrides is unfavorable.

Nevertheless,

the existence of such complexes w i t h triethylphosphine ligands is proved suffiDownloaded by CORNELL UNIV on October 31, 2016 | http://pubs.acs.org Publication Date: June 1, 1978 | doi: 10.1021/ba-1978-0167.ch012

ciently since, i n addition to the isolation of complexes w i t h hydrochloric acid (JO, 14), good evidence is presented for the intermediacy of triethylphosphine Pt(IV) hydrides w i t h silanes a n d phosphines

(15,16).

A somewhat different type of product is obtained w h e n the conjugate base is a multidentate l i g a n d incorporating an anion that w i l l strongly coordinate to Pt(II).

A n example of such a ligand is 1,4-dithiapentane M e S C H C H S H . 2

When

the compound Pt(PPli3) is treated with this mixed thioether-thiol, the compound 3

P t H ( S C H C H S M e ) P P h is f o r m e d where both the thiolate and thioether are 2

Such a c o m p o u n d then must undergo r a p i d substitution of one

(17).

Interestingly, the presence of the chelating thioether group renders the compound isolable.

only a single chemical shift. The respective values for these lines are 72.5 and 90.7 ppm downfield of 85% H3PO4. These hydrides form from diphenylphosphine oxide because of the strong coordination of the phosphorus-bonded diphenylphosphino ligands to the plat inum metal group of elements. Substitution of the additional tertiary phosphine from either Pt(PPh ) or Pt(PMePh ) is related to the chelate effect noted earlier with the thiolate ligands, except that now the additional ligand is bonded to the first one by a hydrogen bond rather than by an alkyl chain. Since diphenyl phosphine oxide exists as a hydrogen-bonded aggregate, it is possible that it is this adduct that reacts as a dimer with the phosphinous acid molecule already attached; however, until kinetic measurements are made on these systems, such questions will remain speculative. Platinum hydrides are significant in that they show the range of product types that are expected from protonation reactions and also the correlation of reactivity with acid HX and the ligands around platinum. This knowledge then can be used to suggest guidelines for designing homogeneous catalytic systems that facilitate the addition of protonic acids to unsaturated hydrocarbons. Of particular importance is the activation of Si-Η, N - H , P-H, O - H , and maybe C - H bonds to the addition of alkenes and alkynes. Currently, considerable work has been published on the hydrosilylation of alkenes and alkynes, but much less has been published on the synthesis and use of highly basic d and d complexes for the catalyzed addition of the these other functional groups. The major applied work currently in progress is the formation of adiponitrile from butadiene and H C N by using complexes Ni[P(OR) ] as catalysts, but it is likely that the range and scope of such catalytic processes will continue to expand, especially for such transformations as the conversion of alkenes into amines and ethers from ammonia and alcohols, respectively.
