One year after it was prepared in milligram quantities in 1990,[3] C60 was shown to function as a ligand in the complex [Ph3P]2Pt(η2-C60).[4]
Since this report, a variety of transition metals and binding modes were demonstrated. Most transition metal fullerene complex are derived from C60, although other fullerenes also coordinate to metals as seen with C70Rh(H)(CO)(PPh3)2.[5]
As ligands, fullerenes behave similarly to electron-deficientalkenes such as tetracyanoethylene. Thus, their complexes are a subset of metal-alkene complexes. They almost always coordinate in a dihapto fashion and prefer electron-rich metal centers.[6] This binding occurs on the junction of two 6-membered rings. Hexahapto and pentahapto bonding is rarely observed.[7]
In Ru3(CO)9(C60), the fullerene binds to the triangular face of the cluster.[8]
Illustrative Fullerene Complexes
[[Ph3P]2Pt]6(η2-C60)
Ru3(CO)9(C60)
Platinum complex of isoxazoline-modified fullerene.
C60 forms stable complexes of the type M(C60)(diphosphine)(CO)3 for M = Mo, W. A dirhenium complexes is known with the formula Re2(PMe3)4H8(η2:η2C60) where two of the hydrogen act as bridging ligands.[5]
Many fullerene complexes are derived from platinum metals. An unusual cationic complex features three 16e Ru centers:
Vaska's complex forms a 1:1 adduct, and the analogous IrCl(CO)(PEt3)2 binds 200x more strongly.[2] Complexes with more than one fullerene ligand are illustrated by Ir4(CO)3(μ4-CH)(PMe3)2(μ-PMe)2(CNCH2Ph)(μ-η2:η2C60)(μ4-η1:η1:η2:η2C60). In this Ir4 cluster two fullerene ligands with multiple types of mixed binding. Platinum, palladium, and nickel form complexes of the type C60ML2 where L is a monodentate or bidentate phosphorus ligand.[5] They are prepared by displacement of weakly coordinating ligands such as ethylene:[6]
[Ph3P]2Pt(C2H4) + C60 → [Ph3P]2Pt(η2-C60) + C2H4
In [(Et3P)2Pt]6(η2-C60), six Pt centers are bound to the fullerene.[9]
In this example, the binding of the ligand is similar to ferrocene. The anion C60(PhCH2)2Ph functions as an indenyl-like ligand.[10]
Fullerenes can also be substituents on otherwise conventional ligands as seen with an isoxazoline fullerene chelating to platinum, rhenium, and iridium compounds.[11]
