The complexes are stable in the solid state and in solution at ambient temperature, PdMe3{(pz)3BH}is more stable than the iodide salt of isoelectronic [PdMes{(pz)aCH}]+, and the aryl- and 17l-propenylpalladium(IV)complexes are the first examples of aryland allylpalladium(IV) complexes that are stable above 0 “C. The tris(pyrazo1-l-y1)borate ligand considerably enhances the stability of palladium(IV)complexes when compared with related neutral donor ligands. The ethylpalladium(rV) complexes have stabilities in solution similar to that of the most stable ethylpalladium(I1)complexes reported. The complex PdMea{ ( ~ Z ) ~(2) B }has been prepared, and structural studies of this complex and PdMe~R{(pz)3BH} [ R= Me (l),E t (3>]completed, allowing the first comparison of structural parameters of ethylpalladium(11, IV) complexes and of PdMe3{ (pz)3BH} with the “isoelectronic”cation [PdMe3{(pz)3CH}]+.

We have found that the [(pz)~BHl-ligand has a remarkable ability to stabilize the higher oxidation state for palladium, allowing the isolation of a range of ambient temperature stable palladium(IV) complexes. These include pallada(n7)cyclopentane complexes, complexes containing +allyl and ethyl groups where the ethylpalladium(IV) complexes have stabilities comparable to the most stable ethylpalladium(I1) complexes reported to data, and the first ambient temperature stable arylpalladium(IV) complexes and palladium(IV) complexes containing three different hydrocarbyl groups. Preliminary reports of parts of this work have appeared.lOJ1

Experimental Section The reagents PdMez(tmedaP and PdMePh(tmeda)12and the pallada(I1)cyclopentane complex Pd(C4H8)(tmeda)13were prepared as described. Solvents were dried and distilled, and all syntheses were carried out under nitrogen.

Replacement of methyl groups in PdMes{(pz)sBH) by +propenyl, benzyl, or phenyl groups results in a downfield shift for the remaining methyl resonance, as shown in Scheme l a . The protons of the pallada(Iv)cyclopentane rings are present as three resonances in 4:2:2 ratio. For these complexes, the protons closest to R in Pd(C4H8)R”{(pz)gBH}, Ha in Scheme lb, are expected to experience changes in chemical shift similar to that of the methyl groups in PdMezR{(pz)sBH}, allowing assignment of resonances as shown in Scheme lb. Protons opposite to R , Hb, experience upfield shifts, in contrast to Ha. X-ray Structural Studies.

Three crystalline forms of 3 were detected: complex 3a is ordered, but 3b has disordering of the methyl

Disorder in complexes of tripod ligands is not unexpected, and recent examples include octahedral [RIPh~{(pz)~CH}I[II[I~1 which has an asymmetric unit containing one ordered cation and one disordered cation in which the position of the iodine and one of the phenyl groups is disordered.16 All of the complexes have octahedral geometry for palladium (Figures 1-3), and complexes 3b and 3c have geometries similar to those of the other complexes, but in view of the disorder, data for these complexes are generally excluded in detailed comparisons of geometries. The trimethylpalladium(I)complexes 1 and 2 (Figure 1) have bond lengths and angles at the palladium centre within 30, except for C(a)-Pd-C(b) [87.5(2)’ in (l),85.8(3)’ in (211 (Table 7). Complexes 1, 2, and 3a have C-Pd-C angles 85.8(3)-88.9(7)’ and N-Pd-N chelate angles 83.3(3)-86.3(3)”, and complex 1 has noncrystallographic C3” symmetry. The palladium atoms in 1 and 3a-c lie within -0.2 A of the “C3N2” mean planes of coordinated pyrazole rings (Table 7), as found for the related cation [PdMes{(p~)3CH}l+,~ but for complex 2 the palladium atom lies 0.45(1)A from the mean plane of ring b (Figure lb). The larger deviation for the [(pz)rBl- complex appears to result from steric effects between ring d and the coordinated rings; steric interactions of this type between coordinated and uncoordinated rings of tridentate [B(pz)& have been documented recently in studies of complexes of group 2 metal ions.’7 Complex 1 has average values of Pd-C and Pd-N about 0.02 and 0.03 A shorter than those for isoelectronic [PdMe3{(pz)sCH}I+,but these differences are within 20 and the bond lengths in the cation occur over (16) Canty, A.J.;Honeyman, R.

The larger angles appear to be directl attributable to B-N bond distances [1.53(2)-1.54that are longer than the analogous C-N bond (2) distances [1.45(1)-1.48(1) A]. The slightly more regular octahedral geometry of the [(pz)3BH]- complexes compared to PdMes((pz)&H) is also reflected in Pd-N(n1)C(n3) angles, which are -2” less in 1 and 3a [135.0(9)136.2(2)”1 than in [PdMe3{(pz)&H}l+ [137.1(7)138.2(6)”1. A similar trend in bite angles is found for P~{(Pz)~BH-N,”}~ [90.1(1Yland [Pd{(p~)&H-N,”)21[BF412 [87.4(5)OI,l8and in these complexes, angles closer to 90” are assumed to result from greater flexibility in the ligands when they are present as bidentates. Complex 3 is the only ethylpalladium(IV) complex for which a crystal structure has been determined, and only two structures appear to have been published for palladium(I1). These complexes, trans-[Pd(SPh)Etexhibit simi(PMe3)21lgaand truns-[PdBrEt(PMe3)21,lgb lar geometries for the ethylpalladium group, although they have smaller Pd-C-C angles, 107.6(6)”and 110.5(5)”,respectively, than that found for 3a, 116(1)”. Stabilities of the Complexes. All of the complexes are stable at ambient temperature and as suspensions in water. When heated in the solid state, they decompose to form black powders over wide temperature ranges, but the PdMePhR complexes appear to be generally less stable than the Pd(C4H8)R”and PdMe2R complexes, and the least stable complexes in each group have R = Et or CH2CH=CH2. These stability trends are consistent with solution behavior, e.g., when studied by lH NMR spectroscopy in toluene-&, the complexes PdMeaR”{(pz)aBH}and Pd(C&I8)R”{(pz)3BH)( R= Et, CH&H=CHz) are stable to a t least 80 “C, but PdMe-

PhEt((pz13BH) and PdMePh(CHzCH=CHd{(pz)sBH} decompose at 60-70 “C and -25 “C, respectively,to give black solids. The nature of organic products from these decomposition reactions has not been ascertained. A relatively small number of hydrocarbylpalladium(IV)complexes reported to date are stable at ambient temperature. 1b2g94,6 Hydrocarbylpalladium(IV) chemistry is usually characterized by clean and facile reductive elimination reactions a t low to moderate temperatures to form palladium(I1)products, in particular phenylpalladium(IV) complexes; e.g., PdXMePh(CHzPh)(bpy)(X = Br, I) decompose in both the solid state and solution a t 0 “C to form PdX(CHzPh)(bpy)and to1uene.l’ However, the stabilities of the pallada(IV1cyclopentaneand ethyl- and phenylpalladium(IV) complexes described here are similar to related diorganopalladium(I1) analogues involving bidentate nitrogen donor ligands;12J3ab,20 e.g., the decomposition of Pd(C4H8)(bpy)13aand PdEtn(bpyIz0has been studied in solution at 80 and 60 “C, respectively. Thus, with suitable choice of donor ligand systems, organopalladium(IV) complexes have stabilities comparable to that exhibited in well-established organopalladium(I1) chemistry. Although far fewer studies in organopalladium(IV) than organopalladium(I1)chemistry have been reported to date, it appears that similar principles govern stabilities for “cis-PdR? groups in square-planar palladium(11)and ‘)%c-PdRs”groups in octahedral palladium(IV) complexes. Enhanced stability occurs for complexes containing polydentate ligands that have high donor ability andor ability to adopt a conformation favoring (20) Sustmann, R.; Lau, J. Chem. Ber. 1986,119, 2531.

square-planar geometry for palladium(I1) or octahedral geometry for palladium(IV), because these properties reduce tendencies toward donor group dissociation. For example, Pd(C4Hs)(bpy)is more stable than Pd(C&)(tmeda) where bpy is more rigid than tmeda,13band PdMez(CHzPh)((pz)3BH}is more stable than [PdMez(CHzPh)((pz)3CH)lX (X = Br, BFd9 where [(pz)3BHlis a stronger donor than isoelectronic (pz)&H and presents coordination geometries closer t o octahedral. Similarly, although palladium(IV) appears to be stabilized by anionic “harder” nitrogen and oxygen6 donor ligands, the “soft” thioether donor 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane (9S3) forms very stable complexes [PdMes(9S3)IX (X = I, and the high stability of these complexes may be related to the fac-9S3 group adopting a conformation in the complex which is very similar to that adopted by free 9S3.21
