Abstract
- Eight-membered cyclic functional bisphosphines, namely 1,5-di-aryl-3,7-di(2-pyridyl)-1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctanes (aryl=2-pyridyl, m-tolyl, p-tolyl, diphenylmethyl, benzyl, ( R)-(+)-(α-methyl)benzyl), with 2-pyridyl substituents on the phosphorus atoms have been synthesized by condensation of 2-pyridylphosphine, formaldehyde, and the corresponding primary amine. The structures of some of these bisphosphines have been investigated by X-ray crystallography. The bisphosphines readily form neutral P,P-chelate complexes [(κ<superscript>2</superscript>-P,P-L)MCl<subscript>2</subscript>], cationic bis-P,P-chelate complexes [(κ<superscript>2</superscript>-P,P-L)<subscript>2</subscript>M]<superscript>2+</superscript>, or a five-coordinate complex [(κ<superscript>2</superscript>-P,P-L)<subscript>2</subscript>NiBr]Br. The electrochemical behavior of two of the nickel complexes, and their catalytic activities in electrochemical hydrogen evolution and hydrogen oxidation, including the fuel-cell test, have been studied.
