Reactivity of the metalloligand [Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4] toward tellurium(II) thiourea complexes: synthesis and structural characterization of the ditellurium(I) derivative [{Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4}2Te2]2+

Reaction of the platinum(II) sulfide metalloligand [Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4] with the tellurium(II) source TeCl2(tu)2 (tu = thiourea) is dependent on reaction conditions employed. In the presence of added acid, the dominant species observed in the electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrum is the tetrapla...

description Reaction of the platinum(II) sulfide metalloligand [Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4] with the tellurium(II) source TeCl2(tu)2 (tu = thiourea) is dependent on reaction conditions employed. In the presence of added acid, the dominant species observed in the electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrum is the tetraplatinum species [{Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4}2Te2]2+. This contains the Te22+ moiety and is related to the previously reported tellurium(I) dithiophosphinate analog [(Ph2PS2)2Te2]. However, in the absence of acid, considerable degradation of the {Pt2S2} metalloligand occurs as evidenced by the formation of the mononuclear complex [Pt{SC(NH2)NH}(PPh3)2]+ containing a deprotonated thiourea ligand, together with other thiourea-containing ions, identified by ESI MS. Likewise, attempted use of a fully substituted thiourea, viz. Me2NC(S)NMe2 (tmtu) in TeCl2(tmtu)2, also resulted in degradation of the {Pt2S2} core and detection of the known complex [(Ph3P)2PtCl{SC(NMe2)2}]+. The [{Pt2(µ-S)2(PPh3)4}2Te2]2+ cation was isolated with several anions, and unequivocal confirmation of the structure of the complex was obtained by an X-ray structure determination on the BF4- salt, which shows the presence of the Te22+ unit, with the Te–Te bond bridged by two {Pt2S2} metalloligands. Density functional theory was used to further probe the Te22+ bonding interactions in [{Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4}2Te2]2+ and the previously reported [(Ph2PS2)2Te2]
