Regioselective formation of six-membered platinacycles by C–X and C–H oxidative addition
2015
Abstract Several naphthyl-based N^N^C ligands were synthesized by strategically incorporating a bromide or iodide at the 8-position of the naphthyl ring. When allowed to react with the platinum tetra methyl dimer, PtMe 4 (μ-SMe 2 ) 2 , the more rare six-membered platinum(IV) platinacycles were formed by oxidative addition of the C(sp 2 )–X bond. In a separate case, C–H activation at the 8-position was encouraged by having the 2-position ‘blocked’ with a methyl group thus a six-membered platinum(II) platinacycle was formed by C(sp 2 )–H activation at the 8-position. Products were characterized by XRD, NMR, UV/vis, emission spectroscopy, and HRMS. The platinum(IV) compounds were inert to thermolysis. The complexes appear to exhibit dual fluorescence and phosphorescence at room temperature in solution.
