Abstract

The substitution kinetics of cyclometallated platinum(II) complexes [PtL 1 Cl] (L 1 = 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene), [PtL 2 Cl] (L 2 = 3,5-di(2-pyridinyl)-fluorobenzene), [PtL 3 Cl] (L 3 = 2,4-di(2-pyridinyl)-fluorobenzene) and [PtL 4 Cl] (L 4 = 3,5-di(2-pyridinyl)-toluene) with neutral nitrogen-donor nucleophiles imidazole, 1-methylimidazole, 1,2-dimethylimidazole, pyrazole and 1,2,4-triazole were investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions in methanol solution with an ionic strength of 0.1 M. The rate of substitution of the chloride ligand was studied as a function of nucleophile concentration and temperature using stopped-flow spectrophotometric techniques. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constants, k obs, for the substitution reactions obeyed the rate law k obs = k 2[Nu]. The reactivity of these complexes follows the order PtL 2 Cl > PtL 3 Cl > PtL 4 Cl > PtL 1 Cl. The lability of the chloride ligand is influenced by the extent of π-backbonding and also by the σ-trans effect. The reactivity of the nucleophiles depends on their basicity, inductive effect and steric hindrance. Second-order kinetics and negative activation entropies support an associative substitution mechanism. The experimental data are supported by the results of DFT calculations.
