Abstract:
Phosphole and azaphosphole derivatives with triazole functionalities, [C6H5{1,2,3-N3CC6H4C(PPh)}] (L1) and [C6H4{1,2,3-N3C(Ph)C(PPh)}] (L2) were synthesized by reacting [(C6H5)(1,2,3-N3C = CH-o-Br-C6H4)] and [(o-Br-C6H4)(1,2,3-N3C = CHC6H5)] with BuLi followed by the addition of dichlorophenylphosphine. The reactions of L1 and L2 with an excess of 30% H2O2 afforded phosphole oxides [C6H5{1,2,3-N3CC6H4C(P(O)Ph)}] (L1O) and [C6H4{1,2,3-N3C(Ph)C(P(O)Ph)}] (L2O) as white crystalline solids. Stoichiometric reactions of L1 and L2 with [Ru(η6-p-cymene)Cl2]2 in CH2Cl2 yielded [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)(L1-κ1-P)] (1) and [RuCl2(η6-p-cymene)(L2-κ1-P)] (2), respectively. Similar reactions of L1 and L2 with [Pd(COD)Cl2] and [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl]2 produced the corresponding complexes, trans-[PdCl2(L1-κ1-P)2] (3), trans-[PdCl2(L2-κ1-P)2] (4), [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl(L1-κ1-P)] (5), and [Pd(η3-C3H5)Cl(L2-κ1-P)] (6). Treatment of L1 with [AuCl(SMe2)] in dichloromethane afforded [AuCl(L1-κ1-P)] (7). Ruthenium complex 1 showed moderate to good catalytic activity towards benzylic C-H oxidation, and the proposed mechanism for the catalysis was supported by spectroscopic data.

02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
