thermal elimination.
In conclusion, hydroperoxo-hydroxo complex 1 has been
found to photoreductively eliminate H2O3 in ∼20% yield at −60
°C. DFT results suggest that the photoreaction occurs through a
3
triplet excited state (modeled using 1a′) with high OOH and
OH radical character, leading to coupling of OH and OOH.
(H2O2 and acetone peroxides 3 and 4, also formed in acetone-d6,
may be produced by “leakage” of OOH radicals from the excited
state or, in the case of 3 and 4, by direct reaction of acetone with
the excited state.) The DFT results also suggest that the
photolysis products may depend on the intramolecular hydro-
gen-bonding state of 1, with the lowest-energy state yielding the
H2O3 products and a slightly higher state giving water and
dioxygen. Thermolysis and room-temperature photolysis of 1
give water and dioxygen as final products, but in both cases
trapping experiments with DF and TME give results generally
consistent with initial formation of H2O3. The low yield of singlet
oxygen trapping product 7 observed with TME in the room-
temperature photolysis may result from partial decomposition of
H2O3 to singlet oxygen and water prior to reaction with TME.
Singlet oxygen emission experiments should provide information
on the involvement of singlet oxygen in these reactions.26 On the
basis of the above results and our previous results1,12,19 with
analogous complexes, the trans-Pt(IV)L2(R)X3 system is proving
to be a versatile platform for elimination chemistry. Other
complexes that should eliminate unusual molecules are currently
under investigation.
