Abstract

Tri(pyridylmethyl)phosphine (TPPh), the remarkably elusive congener of tri(pyridylmethyl)amine (TPA), has been prepared, as well as the relative tri(N-methyl-pyridylamino)phosphine (TPAMP). The coordination properties of these new ligands have been evaluated for chromium(III), iron(II), and ruthenium(II) complexes and compared with the related TPA complexes. In all cases, a different coordination behavior has been observed whereby TPPh and TPAMP always act as tridentate ligands. A chromium(III) complex [Cr(TPPh)Cl3] has been prepared, which has shown low ethylene oligomerization activity. Octahedral low spin iron(II) complexes [Fe(TPPh)2]2+ and [Fe(TPAMP)2]2+ were obtained with two ligands bound to the metal center. Ruthenium(II) chloro complexes of TPA and TPPh undergo ligand exchange reactions in acetonitrile, and the ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(MeCN)2(TPA)]2+ can be oxidized by m-CPBA in acetonitrile to give a transient ruthenium(IV) oxo complex [Ru(O)(MeCN)(TPA)]2+. Attempts to generate high valent ruthenium(IV) oxo TPPh or TPAMP complexes could not be achieved, probably due to insufficient stabilization by these strong field ligands.
