A series of complexes 2-quinone)(C2H4)3> has been prepared by treating > with benzo-1,4-quinones. (13)C NMR studies on the compounds containing the ligands 2,3-dimethyl-, 2,5-dimethyl-, 2,5-diphenyl-benzo-1,4-quinone, and naphto-1,4-quinone revelaed that although the C2H4 group is undergoing rapid rotation, the η2-bonded quinone is rigid on the n.m.r. time scale.In contrast, in the derivatives from 2,6-dimethyl-, 2,6-di-t-butyl-, 2,6-dimethoxy-, and 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-benzo-1,4-quinone, the quinone ligands are also undergoing dynamic behaviour.The η2 ground-state structure was established by an X-ray diffraction study on the compound 2-C6Me4O2)(C2H4)>.Crystals are triclinic, space group P1, Z = 2, in a unit cell with lattice parameters a = 9.818(3), b = 10.489(3), c = 14.486(3) Angstroem, α = 97.27(2), β = 97.93(2), and γ = 91.33(3) deg.The structure has been refined to R 0.027 (R'0.033) for 6 467 independent reflections collected at 200 K for 2.9 α X-radiation).The results establish that the 2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzo-1,4-quinone ligand is attached to platinum by two carbon atoms of one C(Me)=C(Me) group, and the metal is in a trigonal planar environment with the midpoint of this group, the phosphorous atom, and the midpoint of the C-C bond of the ethylene ligand, with all these co-ordinated atoms lying within 0.1 Angstroem of the co-ordination plane.
