    Platinum Complexes of Bicyclopropylidene and Related Ligands

    Platinum Complexes of Bicyclopropylidene and Related Ligands by Sarah Amy Hoyte A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry Victoria University of Wellington 2014 Abstract The coordination chemistry of the cyclopropyl-substituted alkenes, bicyclopropylidene (BCP) and methylenecyclopropane (MCP), with platinum was explored. A range of complexes with η2-alkene ligands were synthesised by the displacement of a ligand, typically ethene, from a precursor complex. These complexes are [Pt(L)(P—P)] (L = BCP, MCP; P—P = Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2, Cy2P(CH2)2PCy2, t t t t Bu2P(CH2)2P Bu2, Bu2PCH2(o-C6H4)CH2P Bu2), [Pt(L)(P—S)] (L = BCP, MCP; t t P—S = Bu2PCH2(o-C6H4)CH2S Bu), [Pt(C2H4)(L)(PR3)] (L = BCP, MCP; PR3 = ′ PPh3, PCy3), [Pt(MCP)2(PR3)] (PR3 = PPh3, PCy3) and [PtCl2(L)(L )] (L = BCP, MCP; L′ = Py, DMSO). These were the first examples of platinum complexes with η2-BCP ligands, and the first bis-MCP Pt complexes. BCP underwent ring-opening reactions with both Pt(0) and Pt(II) complexes to form the 1,3-diene allylidenecyclopropane (ACP). The first transition metal complexes of ACP t t [Pt(ACP)(P—P)] (P—P = Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2, Cy2P(CH2)2PCy2, Bu2P(CH2)2P Bu2) were synthesised. Some of these complexes rearranged to form η2:σ2-metallacyclopentene complexes, the first instances of the formation of η2:σ2-metallacyclopentene complexes from η2:π-diene complexes. With MCP, the ring-opening reaction only occurred with [PtEt2(COD)], as a result of the anti-Markovnikov addition of Pt–H, generated by the β-hydride elimination of an Et group, across the double-bond.
