Characterization of Cu119-Se)(μ3-I)3[Se2P(OR)2]6 (R = Pr, Pri) by X-ray diffraction and multinuclear NMR

Abstract

Two types of products were isolated from the reaction of NH4Se2P(OR)2 (R = Pr, Pri), Cu(CH3CN)4PF6, and Bu4NI in a 3 ∶ 2 ∶ 2 molar ratio in diethyl ether. The formulation of 1, Cu88-Se)[Se2P(OR)2]6, and 2, Cu119-Se)(μ3-I)3[Se2P(OR)2]6, was confirmed by elemental analyses, positive FAB mass spectrometry, multinuclear NMR (1H, 31P, and 77Se), and X-ray diffraction (1a and 2b). The geometry in 1 can be described as a selenide-centered, slightly distorted Cu8 cube with each edge of the cube being bridged by a selenium atom of the diselenophosphato (dsep) ligands . The sx dsep ligands, each capped on the square face of the cube, adopt a tetrametallic tetraconnective coordination pattern. The eleven copper atoms in 2 adopt the geometry of a 3,3,4,4,4-pentacapped trigonal prism with a selenium atom in the center. The coordination geometry for the central selenium atom is tricapped trigonal prismatic. In addition, the central core (Cu11Se in 2) is further stabilized by three iodides and six dsep ligands. A unique 77Se NMR pattern for the dsep ligands clearly indicates that local C3h symmetry was retained in solution. Moreover, the octacoordinated and nonacoordinated selenium atoms in 1 and 2 are unequivocally characterized by the 77Se NMR spectra, whose resonance frequencies are centered around −1150 and −1200 ppm, respectively.
