COMPLEXES OF BIS(PHOSPHINO)-O-CARBORANES WITH NICKEL II CHLORIDE.

Abstract

The reaction of NiCl2.6H20 (A) with bis-diphenylphosphino carboranes (B) (with 1, 2, and 3 Br atoms attached to the carborane nucleus) yielded complexes containing two molecules of bis-phosphine and one of NiCl2. The substitution of Pt(II) and Pd(II) for the Ni(II) in (A) also resulted in stable complexes. The reaction of unbrominated (B) with (A) yielded the 1:1 complex ((C6H5)4P2C2B10H10)NiCl2 which converted to the corresponding 2:1 complex upon refluxing in ethyl acetate. The product compounds were examined chemically and their IR spectra, UV spectra, and magnetic moments were obtained. A square planar molecular configuration is tentatively assigned to the 2:1 type complexes.
