Preparation and X-ray structures of Cu(I), Ni(II), and Pd(II) (N,S) complexes of the monoanion [((BuN)-Bu-t)(S)P(mu-(NBu)-Bu-t)(2)P(S)((NHBu)-Bu-t)](-) and a Pt(II) (S,S') complex of the dianion [((BuN)-Bu-t)(S)P(mu-(NBu)-Bu-t)(2)P(S)((NBu)-Bu-t)](2-)
The metathetical reactions of the lithium derivative of the monoanion [((BuN)-Bu-t)(S)P(mu -(NBu)-Bu-t)(2)P(S)((NHBu)-Bu-t)(-) (L) with CuCl/PPh3, NiCl2(PEt3)(2), PdCl2L'(2) (L' = PhCN, PPh3), and PtCl2(PEt3)(2) produced the complexes (PPh3)-CuL (5), NiL2 (6), PdCl(L)(PPh3) (7), PdL2 (8), and Pt(PEt3)(2)[((BuN)-Bu-t)(S)P(mu -(NBu)-Bu-t)(2)P(S)((NBu)-Bu-t)] (9). The X-ray structures of 5, 6, and 8 reveal a N,S-coordination for the chelating monoanion L with the metal centers in trigonal planar, tetrahedral, and square planar environments, respectively. By contrast, the dianionic ligand in the square planar Pt(II) complex 9 is S,S'-chelated to the metal center. P-31 NMR spectra readily distinguish between the N,S and S,S' bonding modes, and, on that basis, N,S chelation is inferred for the Pd(II) complex 7.
