Popis: 2,5-Bis(pyrrol-2-yl)phosphole derivatives were prepared using the reaction of titanacycles, generated in situ from a TiII reagent and pyrrole-capped 1,6-heptadiynes, with dichloro(phenyl)phosphine. The 2,5-bis(pyrrol-2-yl)phosphole derivatives were found to possess narrower optical HOMO–LUMO gaps and less positive oxidation potentials than those of previously reported 2,5-diarylphosphole analogs. This demonstrates that the intrinsic nature of the electron excessive pyrrole subunits as well as the effective π-conjugation over the coplanar heterole rings. The σ3-P type 2,5-bis(5-phenylpyrrol-2-yl)phosphole underwent complexation with AuCl(SMe2) and PtCl2 to yield the respective AuCl–monophosphine and PtCl2–bisphosphine complexes. In the square planar PtII complex, the pyrrolic NH protons were found to form intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the chlorine atoms that gave rise to symmetrically split, parallel π-chromophores linked by two Pt–P bonds. Density functional theory calculations on a PtII model complex suggested that this cooperative interaction induces a significant split of the original LUMOs of the symmetrical π-conjugated ligands.
