One-pot synthesis of metal primary phosphine complexes from O=PCl2R or PCl2R. Isolation and characterization of primary alkylphosphine complexes of a metalloporphyrin
Treatment of [Ru-II(Por)(CO)] [Por) porphyrinato(2-)] and O= PCI2R [R = Ad ( adamantyl), Bu-t, Bu-sec] or PCI(2)Mes (Mes = mesityl) with LiAIH(4) afforded primary alkyl- and arylphosphine complexes [Ru-II(Por)(PH2R)(2)], which have been isolated in pure form and characterized by H-1 NMR, P-31 NMR, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The structures of [Ru-II(TTP)(PH(2)Ad)(2)] and [Ru-II(F-20-TPP)(PH(2)Mes)(2)] were determined by X-ray crystallography.
