Synthesis and characterization of cyclotetraphosphato complexes of Rh(I), Ir(I), Ru(II), and Pd(II).
The cyclotetraphosphate ion (P(4)O(12)(4)(-)) as a PPN (PPN = (PPh(3))(2)N(+)) salt reacts with [MCl(cod)](2) (M = Rh, Ir; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) to give the dinuclear complexes (PPN)(2)[[M(cod)](2)(P(4)O(12))], in which the two metal moieties are situated trans to each other with respect to the P(4)O(4) ring in the solid state. In solution, however, these complexes exist as mixtures of trans and cis isomers. On the other hand, the P(4)O(12)(4)(-) ion reacts with 4 equiv of [Rh(cod)(MeCN)(x)](+) cation to give the tetranuclear complex [[Rh(cod)](4)(P(4)O(12))], where the four Rh(cod) fragments are bound to the P(4)O(12) platform alternately on both sides of the P(4)O(4) ring. Dinuclear P(4)O(12) complexes of ruthenium and palladium are also synthesized.
