Summary
The property-specific ligand control of 28 ligands on the decomposition temperatures in solution, measured by d.t.a. of a four-coordinate nickel(II)-complex is reported. A quantitative separation of electronic and steric effects by a multilinear regression analysis (75% electronic and 25% steric influence for the chosen ligands) is presented. The controlling effect of the selectivity on the decomposition (fraction of the C-C-linked product) (25 P-ligands) leads to an electronic: steric ratio of the property-specific ligand control of 55∶45 for the chosen ligands. An increase in the relative acceptor character of the P-ligands relatively destabilizes the complexes and thereby favours formation of a C-C-bond. An increase in steric hindrance also favours C-C-bond formation. A method for revising the steric parameter of P-ligands is presented and is used to correct the Θ-value of (PhCH2)3P is corrected to 135°. SCCC-MO-calculations for testing the chemical reasoning of the separated electronic and steric ligand property control are shown.
