Abstract

The isocyanides 3-(4-pyridylethynyl)phenylisocyanide, 3, 4-(4-pyridylethynyl)phenylisocyanide, 6,2,6-diisopropyl-4-(4-pyridylethynyl)phenylisocyanide, 9, and 2,6-diisopropyl-4-(4-pyridyl)phenylisocyanide, 11, were prepared. With PdI2 and PtI2, these isocyanides form the complexes trans-[MI2(CNR)2], 12-19 (M = Pd, Pt; CNR = 3, 6, 9, 11). The previously prepared complex trans-[PdI2(CNC5H4N-3)2] and trans-[PdI2(CNC6H2-(i-Pr) 2-2,6-(CC-C5H4N-4)-4)2], 16, combine with copper bis(trifluoroacetylacetonate) in the ratio of 1:2 to form the adducts trans-[PdI2(CNC5H4N-3) 2]·2[Cu(tfacac)2]·2CH2Cl 2, 20, and trans-[PdI2(CNC6H2-(i-Pr) 2-2,6-(CC-C5H4N-4)-4) 2]·2[Cu-(tfacac)2], 21, respectively. The complexes trans-[MI2(CNC6H2-(i-Pr) 2-2,6-(C5H4N-4)-4)2], 19 (M = Pd) and 20 (M = Pt), react with [Pd(SO3CF3)2(dppp)] (dppp = bisdiphenylphosphinopropane) to form the molecular squares [Pd(dppp)(trans-[MI2(CNC6H2-(i-Pr) 2-2,6-(C5H4N-4)-4)2] 4(SO3CF3)8, 22 (M = Pd) and 23 (M = Pt). The crystal structure of 20 has been determined by X-ray crystallography. 20: C34H28Cl4CU2F12I 2N4O8Pd, monoclinic space group, P21/n (No. 14), a = 10.899(3) Å, b = 13.903(1) Å, c = 17.827(6) Å, β= 105.50(2)°, Z = 2, 2618 unique reflections, R = 0.093, Rw= 0.091.
