Tetradentate organophosphines in Pt(η4–A4L) (A = P4, P3Si, P2X2 (X2 = N2, S2, C2), PX3 (X3 = N3, N2O)): Structural aspects

Abstract

We report herein structural characterization of monomeric platinum complexes of the composition: Pt(η4–P4L), Pt(η4–P3SiL), Pt(η4–P2N2L), Pt(η4–P2S2L), Pt(η4–P2C2L), Pt(η4–PN3L), and Pt(η4–PN2OL). The tetradentate ligands with 10-, 11-, 12-, 14-, and 16-membered macrocycles create a variety of chelate bond angles. A distorted square-planar geometry about Pt(II) atoms with cis–configuration by far prevail. There is an example Pt(η4–P3SiL) in which the respective donor atoms build up a trigonal-pyramidal geometry about Pt(II) atom.
