Phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony donor ligands

Phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony donor ligands. A general synthesis has been reported for trialkyl phosphite complexes of noble metals, including [RuLeJ, [RuXLsl, and [RuHLs]+ [L = P(OMe)3 or P(OEt)3 X = Cl or Br]. The complexes were isolated as their tetraphenylborate salts from reaction of the phosphite with methanolic solutions of suitable labile olefin

Although trialkyl- and triarylbismuthines are much weaker donors than the corresponding phosphorus, arsenic, and antimony compounds, they have nevertheless been employed to a considerable extent as ligands in transition metal complexes. The metals coordinated to the bismuth in these complexes include chromium (72—77), cobalt (78,79), iridium (80), iron (77,81,82), manganese (83,84), molybdenum (72,75—77,85—89), nickel (75,79,90,91), niobium (92), rhodium (93,94), silver (95—97), tungsten (72,75—77,87,89), uranium (98), and vanadium (99). The coordination compounds formed from tertiary bismuthines are less stable than those formed from tertiary phosphines, arsines, or stibines.

The most common nickel(O) complexes are those containing phosphorus, arsenic and antimony as donor atoms. Besides the Malatesta and Cenini book/1 which specifically deals with metal(O) complexes, nickel(O) complexes have been summarized in books and review articles which report complexes with phosphine, arsine and stibine ligands.31-37 Actually the nickel(O) complexes with these ligands amount to hundreds and the number of new complexes which are synthesized is increasing very rapidly, making nickel(0) phosphine chemistry a very extensive topic.

Ligands containing phosphorus, arsenic, or antimony as the donor atom do not cause disproportionation of iron carbonyls, and fairly stable, simple substitution products are obtained. The direct reaction, carried out either thermally or photochemicaUy, with any of the three iron carbonyls, has yielded the complexes [Fe(CO)4L], with L = P(C6Hs)3 12, 35, 214, 215, 125a), P[N(CHj)2]3 71), pentaphenylphosphole 216,21, As(C6Hs)j 12,...
