Abstract Reaction of iPr2PCl with (Me3Si)2NH gives iPr2PNHiPPr2 (not isolated) which was oxidised with sulfur/selenium/oxygen to give Pr2P(E)NHP(E%)iPr2 (E, E%=Se; E=Se, E%=S; E= S, E%= O; E,E%=O). These neutral LH molecules readily undergo deprotonation/complexation to form simple ML2 species and demonstrative examples with Zn, Cd, Pd, Pt are reported. The X-ray structure of two examples of iPr2P(E)NHP(E%)iPr2 (E, E%=Se, E,E%= O) are reported. The molecules pack into infinite chains via H…E Hydrogen bonds. The X-ray structures of three typical metal complexes which illustrate tetrahedral (Cd[(iPr2PSe)2]2) and square planar (Pt[N(iPr2PSe)2]2) coordination at the metal centre as well as the ability of the ME2P2N ring to adopt the pseudo-chair conformation (Pt[iPr2P(Se)NHP(S)iPr2]2) are also reported. © 1999 Elsevier Science S.A.

The dithioimidodiphosphinates have been known for some considerable time [1] and there has recently been a resurgence of interest in their coordination chemistry as a consequence of the steric control that this ligand system may impart compared to, for example, acac. Both ourselves and others have reported extensively on the chemistry of Ph2P(S)NHP(S)Ph2 [2 – 5] and to a lesser extent its selenium homologue [6 – 8]. Recently, we described some complexes derived from i Pr2P(S)NHP(S)iPr2 [9]. One especially interesting feature [10] was that in the palladium complex Pd[N(iPr2PS)2]2 the six-membered PdS2P2N ring adopts a pseudo-boat conformation whereas in the platinum complex Pt[N(iPr2PS)2]2 the PtS2P2N ring is in a pseudo-chair conformation. Here, we report on studies to investigate the generality of this observation by extension of the chemistry to include selenium com* Corresponding author.

pounds as well as mixed S/Se and mixed S/O compounds. This paper describes the preparation of a range of iPr2P(E)NHP(E%)iPr2 (E, E% = Se 1; E= Se, E% =S 2; E= S, E% = O 3; E,E% =O 4) together with examples of their coordination complexes with tetrahedral and square planar metal centres. The X-ray structures of 1, 4 and three metal complexes are described (Fig. 1).

1. Experimental Unless stated otherwise, all reactions were performed under an atmosphere of oxygen-free nitrogen using standard Schlenk procedures. All glassware was oven dried at 100°C or flame dried under vacuum before use. All solvents and reagents were purchased from Aldrich, Strem or Fisher and used as received. In addition toluene, THF, Et2O and petroleum ether (60– 80) were distilled from sodium-benzophenone under nitrogen, and CH2Cl2 from CaH2. CDCl3 (99+atom% D) was as supplied.

Details of the data collections and refinements are given in Table 1. All data collections were performed at r.t. The SMART data collections consisted of at least a hemisphere of data collected using ‘thin’ slices (0.3°); these structures were solved and refined (on F 2) using SHELXTL [12]. The AFC structure was determined using v-scans (2u max. 120°) and solved and refined using TEXSAN [13]. It was interesting to note that a data collection for 7 using the SMART system did not refine well, whilst the data from the serial system were reasonably satisfactory. In 1 and 4 some disorder in one of the isopropyl groups was evident and two 50% occupancy systems were refined in each case, the protons on this isopropyl group were not included in the final refinement. The N–H

protons in 1 and 4 were allowed to refine freely whilst remaining H atoms were refined, using a riding model (SHELXTL) or in idealised positions (TEXSAN). In 11 the sulfur/selenium atoms were disordered and were refined with equal occupancies with symmetry considerations defining any particular molecule as having sulfur atoms trans to each other. All of the non-H atoms were refined anisotropically throughout. 2. Results and discussion The synthesis of iPr2P(E)NHP(E%)iPr2 was performed using a method previously reported for related systems [9,10]. The reaction scheme for the ligand preparation is shown in Eq. 1.

n(PNP) and n(N–H) peaks in the expected regions (Tables 2 and 3). In principle there are two tautomers possible for 1–4. Thus, upon going from Ph2(S)NHP(S)Ph2 to Ph2P(O)NP(OH)Ph2, the X-ray structures reveal a change in tautomeric form. However 1 and 4 both appear to adopt the same iPr2P(E)NHP(E%)iPr2 structure. In 1 the P–Se bond lengths (2.1027(9) and 2.0961(8) A, ) typical for PSe double bonds and the P–N bonds (1.693(3) and 1.686(3) A, ) are single. Similarly in 4 the PO bond lengths (1.486(2) and 1.471(2) A, ) reflect the double bond nature of the PO group, while the P–N bond lengths, though the shortest of any of the iPr2P(E)NHP(E%)iPr2 systems, are still effectively single in character (1.671(2) and 1.669(2) A, ) and equivalent to each other (Table 4). Both 1 and 4 adopt anti conformations with the PE groups rotated with respect to the P–N–P plane, the E(1)–P(1)···P(2)–E(2) torsion angle being 80° for the selenium compound (cf. 79° in the sulfur analogue) and 52° in the oxygen compound. As is typical the anti conformation is associated with chain-like packing of the molecules in the solid state. There is an N–H···E hydrogen bond in all the systems; which has the effect of lengthening the PE bond lengths for the hydrogen bonded E atoms. Since the ligands all contain an acidic NH proton they are readily deprotonated to form anionic chelate complexes. The reaction of 1–4 with the appropriate metal salts led to the formation of neutral complexes with the general formula ML2 (Eq. 2).

(1) The symmetric diseleno and dioxy ligands were obtained in good yields. The mixed sulfur/selenium and sulfur/oxygen ligands were obtained in lower yields due to unavoidable formation of the diseleno and dioxy ligands as by-products, though these were easily separated by recrystallisation. The difference in 31P NMR chemical shifts between PO (d 55.5 ppm), PS (d 92.1 ppm) and PSe (d 89.5 ppm) is typical and can readily be compared to the related compounds with the formula Ph2P(E)NHP(E%)Ph2. Whilst the assignments for the AX 31P NMR spectra of the mixed ligands could be confidently achieved by comparing the chemical shifts with those of the symmetric ligands reported here and previously. The 1H NMR spectra, FAB + mass spectra and CHN analysis were satisfactory for all compounds. The solid state IR spectra of the ligands show n(PE),

(2) The complexes were characterised by a combination of 1H, 31P NMR, IR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. All gave satisfactory results. The 31P NMR spectra of 10 and 11 indicate only one isomer in solution although we were unable to assign the exact geometry (cis or trans) from the NMR data. In the solid state X-ray structure the sulfur atoms lie trans to each other in both compounds. The 1J(31P– 77Se) cou-

plings in 4 –9 are lower in magnitude than in the free ligand 1 and 2. This suggests a lowering of the P–Se bond order, as expected in a delocalised system. The deprotonation of the ligand on complexation leads to the loss of the n(N– H) band in the IR spectra. There is also the expected shift to a lower frequency of the 31P NMR signals as a consequence of deprotonation/complexation. As observed in related systems there is an increase in the frequency of the n(PNP) vibration in the complexes compared with the free ligand. The X-ray structure of Cd[N(iPr2PSe)2]2 (7) reveals (Table 5, Fig. 2) the expected tetrahedral geometry at the metal centre. The structure is isomorphous with the sulfur analogue. The CdSe2P2N ring adopts a pseudoboat conformation with the Cd(1) – Se(1) – P(1) –Se(2) being approximately co-planar (max. dev., 0.17 A, for Se(1)) and P(1)–N(1) – P(2) – Se(2) forming the other plane of a boat (max. dev., 0.12 A, for N(1)). The two planes are inclined by ca. 142°. Within statistical significance the same geometry is adopted for the other chelate ring of the structure. The X-ray structures of Pt[N(iPr2PSe)2]2 (6) (Table 5, Fig. 3) and Pt[iPr2P(Se)NHP(S)iPr2]2 (11) (Fig. 4) reveal the ability of the ligand system to adopt two alternate ring geometries which we noted previously [10] for Pt[N(iPr2PS)2]2 (pseudo-chair) and Pd[N(iPr2PS)2]2 (pseudo-boat). The structure of 11 is disordered with the sulfur and selenium atoms having 50% occupancy throughout, but there is no doubt about the conformation of the PtSSeP2N ring. In 6 the platinum atom lies on a crystallographic two-fold axis and is in a square planar environment (max. dev., for Pt – Se(1) – Se(2)– Se(1%)–Se(2%) 0.06 A, for Se(1)). The PtSe2P2N ring adopts a boat-like conformation Pt – Se(1) – P(2) –Se(2) (max. dev., of 0.24 A, for Se(2)) is inclined by 135° with respect to P(2)–Se(1) – P(1) – N(1) (max. dev., of 0.1 A, for N(1)). In 11 the mixed ligand complex, although disordered, crystallographic consideration means that the Se/S ligand in any particular molecule must always be trans. The PtSeSP2N ring adopts a pseudo-chair conformation (Fig. 4), but the disorder precludes de-

tailed discussion of the structure. However it should be noted that we previously observed that the change in conformation is accompanied by significant changes in the bonding [10] and we observed a similar effect here, thus, the P–N–P angle in 11 (136.3(4)°) is considerably enlarged compared to that observed (127.6(3)°) in 6.
