Title: 1H NMR direct observation of enantiomeric exchange in palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes containing N,N' bidentate aryl-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-amine ligands. Author: Diez V, Cuevas JV, García-Herbosa G, Aullón G, Charmant JP, Carbayo A, Muñoz A. Journal: Inorg Chem; 2007 Jan 22; 46(2):568-77. PubMed ID: 17279837. Abstract: The complexes [MCl(2)(kappa2-N approximately N')] (N approximately N' = 2-C(5)H(4)N-CH2-NHAr; Ar = 4-MeC(6)H(4), a; 2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3), b; 4-MeOC(6)H(4), c; 4-CF(3)C(6)H(4), d; M = Pd, 1a-d; Pt, 2a-d) have been prepared and fully stereochemically characterized both in the solid state and in solution. Their behavior in DMSO-d6 solution is dependent on the substituents of the aryl group and on the metal. Complexes of palladium with substituents at the para position (1a, 1c, 1d) display a dynamic 1H NMR pattern when the solutions are heated. An enantiomeric exchange Slambda/Rdelta is suggested to explain such behavior. On the basis of the calculated negative DeltaS values, an associative mechanism involving the solvent is proposed. Under the same conditions, analogous complexes of platinum (2a, 2c, 2d) proved to be unstable, and release of the N approximately N' ligand was observed. Complexes 1b and 2b show temperature-variable 1H NMR spectra without any evidence accounting for enantiomeric exchange or decoordination. DFT calculations on models of 1a and 1b show that diastereomeric exchange Sdelta/Slambda is a process where the complex with the higher sterical hindrance, 1b, has a lower energy barrier.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
