摘要
Complexes [Pd(Cl)(渭-Cl)(P(CCFc)R2)]2 (Fc聽=聽(畏5-C5H4)(畏5-C5H5); 6e, R聽=聽tBu; 6f, R聽=聽cC6H11) and [PdCl2(P(CCFc)R2)2] (7a, R聽=聽C6H5; 7b, R聽=聽2-MeC6H4; 7c, R聽=聽2,4,6-Me3C6H2; 7d, R聽=聽cC4H3O; 7e, R聽=聽tBu; 7f, R聽=聽cC6H11) are accessible by the reaction of P(CCFc)R2 (3a-f) with either [PdCl2(cod)] (5) (cod聽=聽cyclo-1,5-octadiene) or [PdCl2(SEt2)2] (8). The spectroscopic, mass-spectrometric and cyclovoltammetric data of 6 and 7 were investigated and the structures of four complexes (6e, 6f, 7b, 7c) in the solid state determined. Complexes 7a-f are mononuclear with palladium in a square-planar environment and show a cis- (7b) or trans-configuration (7c) with linear FcCCP moieties in the solid state. In contrast, 6e and 6f are forming dimers with a planar Pd2P2Cl2(渭-Cl)2 core with the ferrocenylethynyl ligands positioned above and below this plane. Electrochemical studies of phosphines 3a-3f and the appropriate seleno phosphines 4a-4f show after oxidation follow-up reactions, while a reversible behavior is found for the corresponding palladium complexes 6 and 7. UV-Vis/NIR and IR spectro-electrochemical measurements of 7f indicate moderate electronic interactions between the ferrocenyl units. All complexes are catalytically active in Heck (reaction of iodo benzene with tert-butyl acrylate) and Suzuki (2-bromo toluene or 4鈥?chloro acetophenone with phenyl boronic acid) C,C cross-couplings. The influence of the electronic (1J(31P-77Se)) and the steric (Tolman cone angle) properties of the phosphine ligands on the activity of the respective palladium catalysts will be discussed.
