Synthesis and characterisation of enynyl, vinyl and acetylide complexes of osmium(II)

Abstract

Treatment of [OsH2L4][L = P(OEt)3 or PPh(OEt)2] first with CF3SO3Me and then with an excess of terminal alkynes RC[triple bond, length half m-dash]CH (R = But, Ph or p-MeC6H4) produced enynyl derivatives [Os{η3-RC3C(H)R}L4]+13. Sequential reactions of [OsH2L4] with CF3SO3Me and activated alkynes R′O2CC[triple bond, length half m-dash]CH (R′= Me or Et) or MeO2CC[triple bond, length half m-dash]CCO2Me yielded alkenyl [Os{CH[double bond, length half m-dash]C(H)CO2R′}L4]+4, 5 and [Os{C(CO2Me)[double bond, length half m-dash]C(H)CO2-Me}L4]+6 cations, respectively. Spectroscopic data (IR, 1H, 31P, 13C NMR) suggest, in the case of L = P(OEt)3, the presence of two isomers for the alkenyls 4 and 5, with five- and four-membered chelate rings of the vinyl ligand. Hydride–alkynyl [OsH(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh)L4] complexes were also obtained by treating [OsH2L4] with CF3SO3Me followed by treatment with lithium phenylacetylide.
