| In this thesis, a few of 3,5-di-substituted-1,2,4-diazaphospholide complexes were studied by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, 13C and 15N CPMAS NMR, IR, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction analysis.The preparation of N-, P-containing five-membered heterocyclic compound 1H-3,5-di-phenyl-1,2,4-diazaphosphole ([3,5-Ph2dp]H) was optimized. The single crystals suitable for X-ray crystallographic diffraction analysis were obtained by solid recrystallization. X-Ray crystallography reveals two different cyclic dimeric structures linked by intermolecular disorder hydrogen bonds (N ... H), showing in the solid state a dynamic proton disorder. This comformation implys a dynamic equilibrium within both dimers. The conformations of the phenyl rings, the disorder of the NH protons, and the intermolecular hydrogen bond of [3,5-Ph2dp]H in the solid state have been rationalized by [B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)] calculations.The furhter reactions of H[3,5-R2dp] (R = tBu, Ph) with varied alkali or transition metal species were carried out. Treatment of H[3,5-Ph2dp] (Hdp = 1H-1,2,4-diazaphosphole) with nBuLi, K, or the reaction of K[3,5-tBu2dp] with an excess amount of O2, afforded the dimeric species [(η2,η1-3,5-Ph2dp)Li(THF)2]2, the polymeric complexes [(η2:η4-3,5-Ph2dp)K(Et2O)2]n, and[{(η2:η5-3,5-tBu2dp)K(THF)} {η2(N,N)-η3(P,O,P)-3,5-tBu2dp-(O,O)O2K}]n,respectively. The above alkali complexes bearing3,5-di-substituted-1,2,4-diazaphospholide ligands have been structurally characterizied, in which the versatile bonding ability of the ligands toward metal centers have been evidenced. Twoη2(N,N)-3,5-di-substituted-1,2,4-diazaphospholide complexes of tetrakis(3,5-di-pheny-1,2,4-diazaphopholide)-titanium(IV)[Ti(η2-3,5-Ph2dp)4]·3THF anddi-μ-chloro-(η4-bicyclo[2,2,1 ]hepta-2,5-diene)-bis(η2-3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2,4-diazapho spholide)-ruthenium (II) [(η4-NBD)Ru(η2-3,5-tBu2dp)2] were prepared by the reaction of tetrakis(dimethylamido)titanium(IV) with 4 equivalents of 3,5-di-pheny-1,2,4-diazaphophole and by the treatment of di-μ-chloro-(η4-bicyclo[2,2,1]hepta-2,5-diene)ruthenium(II) [(NBD)RuCl2] and 2 equivalents of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2,4-diazaphospholide potassium, in which the metal atoms areη2(N,N)-bonding to the 1,2,4-diazaphospholides rationalized by DFT calculation. The complexes represent the firstη2-coordination mode of this ligand in any metal.The effect on palladium-catalyzed Heck reaction by two ruthenium complexes [(3,5-R2dp)RuCp*](R = tBu, Ph) was examined. They have been evidenced to be highly effective in the coupling of bromides, selected activated as well as neutral chlorides. The ruthenium complexes based onη5-1,2,4-diazaphospholide groups with an sp2-hybridized phosphorus atoms are likely to act as two-electron-donor ligandsη1-bonded to the palladium ion through the phosphorus-atom lone pair. |
