New Reactions of Organmetallic Compounds

The reactions of transition metal complex having M-Si a-bond were investigated both fromexperimental and theoretical views. Pt(sihp_2)_2(pme_3)_2 undergoes thermal elimination ofdiphenylsilane to produce a new trinuclear Pt complex[pme_3]_3. The molecular orbital calculation revealed that it is The first example oftrinuclear complexes composed of Pt(0) centers and electron-releasing ligands. The reaction ofdimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) with [Pt(siph_2)(pme_3)]_3 leads to transformation of theframework to linear triplatinum clusters. Sila-3-platinacyclobutene was isolated from the reactionof Pt(sihp_2)_2(pme_3)_2 with DMAD and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The formationpathway was found to involve -Si-H bond activation of the 3-sila-1-propenylplatinum intermediatethat is formed by the insertion of a DMAD into a Pt- si bond of Pt(sihp_2)_2(pme_3)_2. the resultsprovided a new mechanism for the general reaction of alkyne with organosilane catalyzed by Pt；cylcization pathway with a low energy intermediate is more plausible than the经典mechanisminvolves silylenoid intermediate with an extremely high energy.Rh and Ir complexes havinghalogeno(欧冠,I) ligands and organosilyl ligands undergo coupling of these ligands to release the correspondinghalosilanes. Dependence of the reaction rate on the结构of the complexes and on kind of thehalogeno和silyl ligands revealed that the reaction involves intramolecular reductive eliminationvia concerted mechanism.In summary，present study involving experimenetal and theoretical approach has revealed various aspects ofreactions of organotransition metal complexes and elucidated the mechanism of several syntheticorganic reactions that involve transmetalation as a crucial step。
