Platinum-mediated coupling of methane and small nucleophiles (H{sub 2}O, PH{sub 3}, H{sub 2}S, CH{sub 3}NH{sub 2}) as a model for C-N, C-O, C-P, and C-S bond formation in the gas phase

The reactions of Pt{sup +} and PtCH{sub 2}{sup +} with the nucleophiles H{sub 2}O, PH{sub 3}, H{sub 2}S, HCl, CH{sub 3}NH{sub 2}, and CH{sub 3}OH are studied by Fourier transform-ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry. In the reactions of PtCH{sub 2}{sup +}, carbon-heteroatom bond formation can be accomplished for all substrates except CH{sub 3}OH and HCl. The reaction of PtCH{sub 2}{sup +} with two molecules of water yields Pt(CO)(H{sub 2}O){sup +} and constitutes a gas-phase model for the platinum-mediated generation of water gas according to CH{sub 4} + H{sub 2}O {r_arrow} CO + 3H{sub 2}. In the reactions with PH{sub 3} and H{sub 2}S, carbon-phosphorus and carbon-sulfur bond formation to PtCPH{sup +} and PtCS{sup +} competes with demethanation and dehydrogenation of the substrates to yield PtS{sub n}{sup +} (n = 1--4) and PtP{sub n}H{sub m}{sup +} (n = 1--6; m = 0--3) compounds, respectively. For organic nucleophiles such as CH{sub 3}NH{sub 2} and CH{sub 3}OH, C-N and C-O coupling is much less efficient than platinum-mediated C-H bond activation of the substrates.
