SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF (METHOXYMETHYL)TRIPHENYLPHOSPHONIIUM TRICHLORO(DIMETHYLSULFOXIDO)PLATINATE

Abstract

 (Methoxymethyl)triphenylphosphonium trichloro(dimethylsulfoxido)platinate [Ph3PCH2OCH3][PtCl3(dmso-S)] was synthesized by the reaction of hexachloroplatinic acid with (methoxymethyl)triphenylphosphonium chloride in dimethyl sulfoxide. During the reaction, Pt (IV) was reduced to Pt (II). The reactions are accompanied by the ligand exchange in anions with substitution of the S-coordinated dimethyl sulfoxide molecule for one of chlorine atoms. Slow evaporation of the solvent led to the formation of large orange crystals. The product structure was determined by XRDA. The structures were interpreted by the direct method. Positions and temperature parameters of non-hydrogen atoms were refined in isotropic and then in anisotropic approximations by the full-matrix LSM. The X-ray diffraction pattern of crystal I was carried out on a Bruker D8 QUEST diffractometer. According to the data of X-ray analysis the unit cell crystallographic parameters of compound I are [crystal system monoclinic, space group P21/c, M 686.90, a 14.48(2), b 14.48(2), c 19.99(3) Å]. The tetrahedral configuration of the (methoxymethyl)triphenylphosphonium cation approaches the ideal values (CPC angles are 108.5(2)°-110.3(2)°, bond lengths Р-С are slightly differ from each other). Platinum atoms in anions have square coordination (trans-arranged angles ClPtCl are 177.65(5)°, SPtCl are 178.88(6)°, cis-angles approach 90°). The bond lengths Pt–Cl are equal to 2.290(3)–2.314(3) Å, Pt–S are equal to 2.205(3) Å. The platinum atoms are coordinated by three chlorine atoms and dimethyl sulfoxide molecule in the anion. Dimethyl sulfoxide molecule is coordinated to the platinum atoms by sulfur atoms. The geometry of the coordinated dimethyl sulfoxide ligand [OSC and СSC angles, S−O bond] differs from the geometry of a free dimethyl sulfoxide molecule.
