Adams, Richard D. Captain, Burjor Fu, Wei Pellechia, Perry J. Dynamical Intramolecular Metal-to-Metal Ligand Exchange of Phosphine and Thioether Ligands in Derivatives PtRu<sub>5</sub>(CO)<sub>16</sub>(μ<sub>6</sub>-C) The complexes PtRu<sub>5</sub>(CO)<sub>15</sub>(PMe<sub>2</sub>Ph)(μ<sub>6</sub>-C) (<b>2)</b>, PtRu<sub>5</sub>(CO)<sub>14</sub>(PMe<sub>2</sub>Ph)<sub>2</sub>(μ<sub>6</sub>-C) (<b>3</b>), PtRu<sub>5</sub>(CO)<sub>15</sub>(PMe<sub>3</sub>)(μ<sub>6</sub>-C) (<b>4</b>), PtRu<sub>5</sub>(CO)<sub>14</sub>(PMe<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(μ<sub>6</sub>-C) (<b>5</b>), and PtRu<sub>5</sub>(CO)<sub>15</sub>(Me<sub>2</sub>S)(μ<sub>6</sub>-C)<b> (6)</b> were obtained from the reactions of PtRu<sub>5</sub>(CO)<sub>16</sub>(μ<sub>6</sub>-C) (<b>1</b>) with the appropriate ligand. As determined by NMR spectroscopy, all the new complexes exist in solution as a mixture of isomers. Compounds <b>2</b>, <b>3</b>, and <b>6</b> were characterized crystallographically. In all three compounds, the six metal atoms are arranged in an octahedral geometry, with a carbido carbon atom in the center. The PMe<sub>2</sub>Ph and Me<sub>2</sub>S ligands are coordinated to the Pt atom in <b>2</b> and <b>6</b>, respectively. In <b>3</b>, the two PMe<sub>2</sub>Ph ligands are coordinated to Ru atoms. In solution, all the new compounds undergo dynamical intramolecular isomerization by shifting the PMe<sub>2</sub>Ph or Me<sub>2</sub>S ligand back and forth between the Pt and Ru atoms. For compound <b>2</b>, Δ<i>H</i><sup>⧧</sup>= 15.1(3) kcal/mol, Δ<i>S</i><sup>⧧</sup> = −7.7(9) cal/(mol·K), and Δ<i>G</i><sub>298</sub> = 17.4(6) kcal/mol for the transformation of the major isomer to the minor isomer; for compound <b>4</b>, Δ<i>H</i><sup>⧧</sup> = 14.0(1) kcal/mol, Δ<i>S</i><sup>⧧</sup> = −10.7(4) cal/(mol·K), and Δ<i>G</i><sub>298</sub> = 17.2(2) kcal/mol for the transformation of the major isomer to the minor isomer; for compound <b>6</b>, Δ<i>H</i><sup>⧧</sup> = 18(1) kcal/mol, Δ<i>S</i><sup>⧧</sup> = 21(5) cal/(mol·K) and Δ<i>G</i><sub>298</sub> = 12(2) kcal/mol. The shifts of the Me<sub>2</sub>S ligand in <b>6</b> are significantly more facile than the shifts for the phosphine ligand in compounds <b>2</b>−<b>5</b>. This is attributed to a more stable ligand-bridged intermediate for the isomerizations of <b>6</b> than that for compounds <b>2</b>−<b>5</b>. The intermediate for the isomerization of <b>6</b> involves a bridging Me<sub>2</sub>S ligand that can use two lone pairs of electrons for coordination to the metal atoms, whereas a tertiary phosphine ligand can use only one lone pair of electrons for bridging coordination.
