Abstract

One-electron oxidation of palladium(0) and platinum(0) bis(phosphine) complexes enables isolation of a homologous series of linear d9 metalloradicals of the form [M(PR3)2]+ (M = Pd, Pt; R = tBu, Ad), which are stable in 1,2-difluorobenzene (DFB) solution for >1 day at room temperature when partnered with the weakly coordinating [BArF4]− (ArF = 3,5-(CF3)2C6H3) counterion. The metalloradicals exhibit reduced stability in THF, decreasing in the order palladium(I) > platinum(I) and PAd3 > PtBu3, especially in the case of [Pt(PtBu3)2]+, which is converted into a 1:1 mixture of the platinum(II) complexes [Pt(PtBu2CMe2CH2)(PtBu3)]+ and [Pt(PtBu3)2H]+ upon dissolution at room temperature. Cyclometalation of [Pt(PtBu3)2]+ can also be induced by reaction with the 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxyl radical in DFB, and a common radical rebound mechanism involving carbon-to-metal H-atom transfer and formation of an intermediate platinum(III) hydride complex, [Pt(PtBu2CMe2CH2)H(PtBu3)]+, has been substantiated by computational analysis. Radical C–H bond oxidative addition is correlated with the resulting MII–H bond dissociation energy (M = Pt > Pd), and reactions of the metalloradicals with 9,10-dihydroanthracene in DFB at room temperature provide experimental evidence for the proposed C–H bond activation manifold in the case of platinum, although conversion into platinum(II) hydride derivatives is considerably faster for [Pt(PtBu3)2]+ (t1/2 = 1.2 h) than [Pt(PAd3)2]+ (t1/2 ∼ 40 days).
