Nucleophilic ligand displacement in dichloro[2-(arylazo)heterocycle]palladium(II) complexes by benzimidazole – a kinetic and mechanistic study
Tóm tắt
The reactions of benzimidazole (Bimz) with dichloro{2-(arylazo)pyridine}palladium(II), [Pd(aap)Cl2
(3), aap = R′C6H4N= N-2-C5H4N; R′ = H(a), o-Me(b), m-Me(c), p-Me(d), p-Cl(e)] and dichloro{2-(arylazo)pyrimidine}palladium(II), [Pd(aapm)Cl2
(4), aapm = R′′C6H4N=N-2-C6H3N2; R′′ = H(a), o-Me(b), m-Me(c), p-Me(d), p-Cl(e)] were followed separately. The kinetics were examined under pseudo-first order conditions with reference to Bimz in MeCN at 385 and 390 nm, respectively and at 298 K using a u.v.–vis. spectrophotometer. The product was isolated and characterised as trans-Pd(Bimz)2Cl2. The reaction between Pd(aap)Cl2 and Bimz follows the rate law, rate = K[Bimz]2[Pd(aap)Cl2], a single step process, whereas biphasic behaviour is observed for the reaction between Pd(aapm)Cl2 and Bimz; each step is first order with respect to the concentration of complex and to Bimz. The rate data support a nucleophilic association path and the rate decreases upon addition of Cl−(LiCl). The aryl ring substituent of the arylazoheterocycle influences the substitution rate as follows: k(e) > k(a) > k(d) > k(c) > k(b). The k-values are linearly correlated with Hammett σ constants with usual deviations for the m-Me and o-Me substituents because of their steric crowding. The rate follows the order: k(aap) > k(aapm). This is unusual with reference to the π-acidity order of the heterocycles, pyridine < pyrimidine, as the increased π-acidity will enhance the nucleophilic association. The charge density calculation by MNDO method shows that in the pyrimidine ring of arylazopyrimidine, the peripheral m-N(uncoordinated) carries a high negative charge which may retard the nucleophilic association rate. This effect is absent in the pyridine ring of arylazopyridine and may be the reason for the faster single step nucleophilic substitution in Pd(aap)Cl2.
