A Study on the Structures of Copper Thioaminophosphine Complexes and Their Reactivity toward Alkynes

Sung, Hui-Ming 03 September 2003 (has links)
Copper acetylides may be the intermediate of some carbon-carbon coupling reactions. Metal acetylides were studied extensively due to their variable coordination modes. In order to mimic the structure of the intermediate, we synthesized different thioaminophosphine copper(I) complexes and tested their reactivity toward alkynes in this thesis. We introduced steric effect by controlling the carbon-chain length between second and third donor atoms of ligands and electronic effect by altering substituent groups of pheneylacetylenes. Results showed that alkynylcopper complexes were dimmeric in which the two copper(I) centers were brideged by two £g2-£b1-acetylides. Since sulfur atom of thioaminophosphine ligand was not coordinated to copper center, there was no steric effect observed in alkynylcopper complexes. No significant structural difference among alkynylcopper complexes due to electronic effect was seen either. Finally we tested reactions of thioiminophosphine copper(I) complexes toward thiophenolate. The product was a dinuclear copper(I) complex brideged by a £g2-£b1-thiophenolate ligand. Both copper(I) centers were coordinated with phosphorus, nitrogen and sulfur atoms of thioiminophosphine ligand extremely distorted tetrahedron geometry.
