Abstract

Full X-ray crystallographic data are reported for the Pt(II) cations cis-[PtCl(PEt3)2(MTMP)]+ (1) and cis-[PtCl-(PEt3)2(INN)]+, acetone monosolvate (3) of 2, MTMP = methyl(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole and INN = indazole, both as BF4- salts. The Pt-N distances are short compared with those in related cations at 1.95 (3) and 1.96 (3) Å, respectively. In 1 MTMP is bonded to Pt through N2, i.e., complexation of 3-(trifluoromethyl)-5-methylpyrazole, while in 2 INN is bound via the N2 nitrogen as expected. It is suggested on the basis of 13C NMR spectroscopy that neutral MTMP exists in solution as (3-CF3)(5-CH3)C3N2H2. Accordingly, deprotonation of MTMP or INN provides access to the neutral pyrazolyl-Pt(II) complexes cis-Pt(PEt3)2L2,13C and 31P NMR data for the first of which indicate that the product is an isomer in which the Me (rather than the CF3) substituent of the MTMP heterocycle is closest to Pt.
