Abstract
A series of octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole/ruthenium phosphinidene complexes (Na2[1=PR]) can be accessed by phosphinidene transfer from the corresponding RPA (A = C14H10, anthracene) compounds (R = tBu, iPr, OEt, NH2, NMe2, NEt2, NiPr2, NA, dimethylpiperidino). Isolation of the tert-butyl and dimethylamino derivatives allowed comparative studies of their 31P nuclear shielding tensors by magic-angle-spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Density functional theory and natural chemical shielding analyses reveal the relationship between the 31P chemical shift tensor and the local ruthenium/phosphorus electronic structure. The general trend observed in the 31P isotropic chemical shifts for the ruthenium phosphinidene complexes was controlled by the degree of deshielding in the δ11 principal tensor component, which can be linked to the σRuP/πRuP* energy gap. A “δ22–δ33 crossover” effect for R = tBu was also observed, which was caused by different degrees of deshielding associated with polarizations of the σPR and σPR* natural bond orbitals.
