Octaphosphane {cyclo-(P4tBu3)}2 (1) undergoes an unexpected isomerization reaction to the constitutional isomer 2,2′,2′′,2′′′,3,3′-hexa-tert-butyl-bicyclo[3.3.0]octaphosphane (2) in the presence of Lewis acidic metal salts. The mechanism of this reaction is discussed and elucidated with DFT calculations. The results underline the fascinating similarity between phosphorus-rich and isolobal carbon compounds. The new bicyclic octaphosphane 2 shows a dynamic behavior in solution and reacts with [AuCl(tht)] (tht=tetrahydrothiophene) to give a mono- ([AuCl(2-κP3)], 3) and a dinuclear complex ([(AuCl)2(2-κP3,κP3′)], 4). With cis-[PdCl2(cod)] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), the chelate complex ([PdCl2(2-κ2P2,P2′)], 5) with a different coordination mode of the ligand was obtained.

Abstract
Octaphosphane {cyclo-(P4tBu3)}2 (1) undergoes an unexpected isomerization reaction to the constitutional isomer 2,2′,2′′,2′′′,3,3′-hexa-tert-butyl-bicyclo[3.3.0]octaphosphane (2) in the presence of Lewis acidic metal salts. The mechanism of this reaction is discussed and elucidated with DFT calculations. The results underline the fascinating similarity between phosphorus-rich and isolobal carbon compounds. The new bicyclic octaphosphane 2 shows a dynamic behavior in solution and reacts with [AuCl(tht)] (tht=tetrahydrothiophene) to give a mono- ([AuCl(2-κP3)], 3) and a dinuclear complex ([(AuCl)2(2-κP3,κP3′)], 4). With cis-[PdCl2(cod)] (cod=1,5-cyclooctadiene), the chelate complex ([PdCl2(2-κ2P2,P2′)], 5) with a different coordination mode of the ligand was obtained.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
