Abstract:
A diphosphine ligand (1·HPF(6)), which is a potential precursor to a PC(NHC)P pincer, with a backbone containing two phenylene groups and a central bicyclic 4-aza-2-azoniabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-ene unit has been synthesised and coordinated to Pd(II) and Pt(II) to give trans-[M(κ(2)-P,P'-)Cl(2)]PF(6) where M = Pd (2) or Pt (3a). Single-crystal structure determinations of 2 and 3a show the complexes to be isostructural with the diphosphine coordinated in a trans-spanning fashion and the amidinium unit being protonated and non-coordinated. 2 and 3a react with CH(3)I to give the dimers trans-[Pd(2)(μ-1·H)(2)I(4)](PF(6))(2), 6, and trans-[Pt(2)(μ-1·H)(2)I(4)](PF(6))(2), 7, as the major products. This bridging mode of coordination of [1·H](+) is also seen in trans-[Rh(2)(μ-1·H)(1,5-COD)(2)Cl(2)]PF(6), 4, and [Pt(2)(μ-κ(2)-1·H)(dvdms)]PF(6), 5. Upon treatment with KO(t)Bu complexes and undergo deprotonation at the amidinium carbon to give trans-[M(κ(3)-P,C,P'-1)Cl]PF(6) where M = Pd (8), and Pt (9). The related trans-[Rh(κ(3)-P,C,P'-1)(CO)]PF(6) (10) is prepared directly from 1·HPF(6) and Rh(acac)(CO)(2): this and the palladium and platinum complexes 8 and 9 are isolated as isomeric mixtures as a consequence of a conformational isomerism. In situ deprotonation of 1·HPF(6) followed by addition of Ag(CF(3)SO(3)) gave S(Ag)-[Ag(κ(3)-P,C,P'-1)(CF(3)SO(3))], 11. Some preliminary studies of the reactivity of 2 and 8 in Suzuki-type reactions are reported and the Pt(0) system has been shown to be an active hydrosilylation catalyst.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
