The heterodinu
clear d
9-d
9 title compound
1, whose crystal structure has been solved, reacts with dppm [bis(diphenylphosphino)methane] in the presence of NaBF
4 to generate the salt [ClPd(
-dppm)
2Pt(
1-dppm)][BF
4] (
2a),which contains a Pt-bound dangling dppm ligand.
2a has been characterized by
1H and
31P NMR, Fourier transformRaman [
(Pd-Pt) = 138 cm
-1], and UV-vis spectroscopy [
max(d
-d
*) = 366 nm]. In a similar manner, [ClPd(
-dppm)
2Pt(
1-dppm=O)][BF
4] (
2b), ligated with a dangling phosphine oxide, has been prepared by the addition ofdppm=O. The molecular structure of
2b has been established by an X-ray diffraction study.
2a reacts with 1 equivof NaBH
4 to form the platinum hydride complex [(
1-dppm)Pd(
-dppm)
2Pt(H)][BF
4] (
3). Both
2a and
3 react withan excess of NaBH
4 to provide the mixed-metal d
10-d
10 compound [Pd(
-dppm)
3Pt] (
4). The photophysical propertiesof
4 were studied by UV-vis spectroscopy [
max(d
-d
*) = 460 nm] and luminescence spectroscopy (
emi = 724nm;
e = 12 ± 1
s, 77 K). The protonation of
1 and
4 leads to [ClPd(
-dppm)
2(
-H)PtCl]
+ (
5) and
3, respectively.Stoichiometric treatment of
1 with cy
clohexyl or xylyl isocyanide yields [ClPd(
-dppm)
2Pt(CNC
6H
11)]Cl (
6a) and[ClPd(
-dppm)
2Pt(CN-xylyl)]Cl (
6b) ligated by terminal-bound CNR ligands. In contrast, treatment of
1 with thephosphonium salt [C
NCH
2PPh
3]Cl affords the structurally characterized A-frame compound [ClPd(
-dppm)
2(
-C=NCH
2PPh
3)PtCl]Cl (
6c), spanned by a bridging isocyanide ligand. The electrochemical reduction of
2a at -1.2V vs SCE, as well as the reduction of
5 in the presence of dppm, leads to a mixture of products
3 and
4. Furtherreduction of
3 at -1.7 V vs SCE generates
4 quantitatively. The reoxidation at 0 V of
4 in the presence of Cl
- ionsproduces back complex
2a. The whole mechanism of the reduction of
1 has been established.
