  • Title: Pyridinium-derived N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of platinum: synthesis, structure and ligand substitution kinetics.
    Author: Owen JS, Labinger JA, Bercaw JE.
    Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2004 Jul 07; 126(26):8247-55. PubMed ID: 15225067.
    Abstract:
    A series of [(R-iso-BIPY)Pt(CH(3))L ](+)X(-) complexes [R-iso-BIPY = N-(2-pyridyl)-R-pyridine-2-ylidene; (R = 4-H, 1; 4-tert-butyl, 2; 4-dimethylamino, 3; 5-dimethylamino, 4); L = SMe(2), b; dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), c; carbon monoxide (CO), d; X = OTf(-) = trifluoromethanesulfonate and/or [BPh(4)](-)] were synthesized by cyclometalation of the [R-iso-BIPY-H](+)[OTF](-) salts 1a-4a ([R-iso-BIPY-H](+) = N-(2-pyridyl)-R-pyridinium) with dimethylplatinum-micro-dimethyl sulfide dimer. X-ray crystal structures for 1b, 2c-4c as well as complexes having bipyridyl and cyclometalated phenylpyridine ligands, [(bipy)Pt(CH(3))(DMSO)](+) (5c) and (C(11)H(8)N)Pt(CH(3))(DMSO) (6c), have been determined. The pyridinium-derived N-heterocyclic carbene complexes display localized C-C and C-N bonds within the pyridinium ligand that are indicative of carbene pi-acidity. The significantly shortened platinum-carbon distance, for "parent" complex 1b, together with NMR parameters and the nu(CO) values for carbonyl cations 1d-4d support a degree of Pt-C10 multiple bonding, increasing in the order 3 < 4 < 2 < 1. Degenerate DMSO exchange kinetics have been determined to establish the nature and magnitude of the trans-labilizing ability of these new N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Exceptionally large second-order rate constants (k(2) = 6.5 +/- 0.4 M(-1).s(-1) (3c) to 2300 +/- 500 M(-1).s(-1) (1c)) were measured at 25 degrees C using (1)H NMR magnetization transfer kinetics and variable temperature line shape analysis. These rate constants are as much as 4 orders of magnitude greater than those of a series of structurally similar cationic bis(nitrogen)-donor complexes [(N-N)Pt(CH(3))(DMSO)](+) reported earlier, and a factor of 32 to 1800 faster than an analogous charge neutral complex derived from cyclometalated 2-phenylpyridine, (C(11)H(8)N)Pt(CH(3))(DMSO) (k(2) = 0.21 +/- 0.02 M(-1).s(-1) (6c)). The differences in rate constant are discussed in terms of ground state versus transition state energies. Comparison of the platinum-sulfur distances with second order rate constants suggests that differences in the transition-state energy are largely responsible for the range of rate constants measured. The pi-accepting ability and trans-influence of the carbene donor are proposed as the origin of the large acceleration in associative ligand substitution rate.
