The synthesis and structural characterization of azahelicene platinum complexes obtained from cis-PtCl2(NCEt)(PPh3) and from ligands that differ in terms of both the position of the nitrogen atom and the number of fused rings are reported. These square-planar complexes of the general formula PtCl2(nHm) (PPh3) (n = 4, 5; m = 5, 6) display mainly a cis configuration. However, by X-ray crystallographic analysis, we show that for both PtCl2(4H6)-(PPh3) and PtCl2(5H6) (PPh3) there is chirality control of the cis/trans stereochemistry. Indeed, starting from a racemic mixture of aza[6]helicene, platinum complexes with a cis configuration are invariably obtained, and the more thermodynamically stable trans isomers are formed when using enantiopure ligands. We further corroborated these results by NMR analysis in solution.

Abstract
The synthesis and structural characterization of azahelicene platinum complexes obtained from cis-PtCl2(NCEt)(PPh3) and from ligands that differ in terms of both the position of the nitrogen atom and the number of fused rings are reported. These square-planar complexes of the general formula PtCl2(nHm) (PPh3) (n = 4, 5; m = 5, 6) display mainly a cis configuration. However, by X-ray crystallographic analysis, we show that for both PtCl2(4H6)-(PPh3) and PtCl2(5H6) (PPh3) there is chirality control of the cis/trans stereochemistry. Indeed, starting from a racemic mixture of aza[6]helicene, platinum complexes with a cis configuration are invariably obtained, and the more thermodynamically stable trans isomers are formed when using enantiopure ligands. We further corroborated these results by NMR analysis in solution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
