Abstract

The dinitrosyl cations [M(NO)2(PPh3)2]+(M = Co, Rh, or Ir) have been prepared and some of their reactions examined. A 31P n.m.r. study of the cations of Rh and Ir suggests that phosphine exchange is primarly via an associative process; evidence is also presented to suggest that exchange with the Co proceeds via a predominantly dissociative mechanism. Reaction of [Rh(NO)2(PPh3)2]+ or [Ir(NO)2(PPh3)2]+ with tertiary phosphines(L') gives [M(NO)(PPh3)3] and [NO]+when L'= PPh3 but [ML'4]+ when L'= a less bulky phosphine. In contrast, [Co(NO)2(PPh3)2][PF6] gives [Co(NO)2L2][PF6]. A rationale which accounts for this variation in reactivity is offered. The salt [Co(NO)2(PPh3)2][PF6] reacts with Cl-, Br-, or I-(X-) to provide [Co(NO)2(PPh3)X]; [Ir(NO)2(PPh3)2][PF6] reacts with HCl to form [Ir(NO)(PPh3)2Cl2]. Reaction of [Ir(NO)2(PPh3)2][PF6] with 2,2'-bipyridyl produces [Ir(NO)(PPh3)2(bipy)]2+ and N2O. Reduction of [M(NO)2(PPh3)2]+ by Na[BH4] in tetrahydrofuran and in the presence of PPh3 produces [M(NO)(PPh3)3] and ammonia.
