Tris[2-(deuteriomethylsulfanyl)phenyl]phosphine deuteriochloroform 0.125-solvate

R. C. S. Wong, M. L. Ooi, H. Sakurai and S. W. Ng

Abstract top

The title deuterated tripodal phosphine, C21H12D9PS3·0.125CDCl3, crystallizes as two independent molecules, one of which lies on a general position and the other about a threefold rotation axis, and as a deuteriochloroform solvate. The solvent molecule is disordered about a site of symmetry 3, so that the ratio of phosphine to solvent is 8:1. The P atom adopts a pyramidal coordination geometry.

Comment top

Tris[(2-methylsulfanyl)phenyl]phosphine is a tripodal ligand that yields a number of adducts with transition metals. The compound crystallizes without any solvent (Uttecht et al., 2005). We intended to synthesize the deuterated title compound to examine their coordination patterns. The present deuteriochloroform solvate (Scheme I, Fig. 1) is isostructural with the reported solvent-free compound, whose crystal structure has been described in detail. The deuterated chloroform molecule is disordered, and appears to occupy a only small portion of the unit cell. Its presence is not sufficient to cause much change in the unit cell volume.

Experimental top

The procedure was adapted from a reported procedure (Meek et al., 1976). d3-2-Bromothioanisole (2.50 g, 0.012 mol) was dissolved in dry ether (13 ml) at 273 K. To the solution was added over 2 h 1.6 M n-butyllithium in n-hexane (8 ml). A white precipitate separated after half the n-butyllithium was added. After the full quantity of the reagent was added, stirring was continued for another hour. Phosphorus trichloride (0.56 g, 0.004 mol) in ether (8 ml) was added over 3 h. The mixture was then allowed to warm up to room temperature before being hydrolyzed with 0.2 N hydrochloric acid (8 ml). The white solid was collected and washed with distilled water, ethanol and ether. The compound (1.216 g, 0.003 mol, 70% yield) was recrystallized from deuterated chloroform.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H 0.95 to 1.00 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2 to 1.5U(C). Scattering factors used for deuterium were those of hydrogen.

The CDCl3 molecule was refined as a complete molecule of 1/8 occupancy about a site of symmetry, 3. The displacement factors of the three chloride atoms were restrained to be identical. The three C–Cl distances were restrained to within 0.01 Å of each other as were the Cl···Cl distances; the anisotropic temperature factors of the carbon atom were restrained to be nearly isotropic.

The final difference Fourier map had a peak 1 Å from P1 but was otherwise featureless.
