Sterically bulky β-diketiminate (or Nacnac) ligand systems have recently shown the ability to kinetically stabilize highly reactive low-oxidation state main group complexes. Metal halide precursors to such systems can be formed via salt metathesis reactions involving alkali metal complexes of these large ligand frameworks. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of lithium and potassium complexes of the super bulky anionic β-diketiminate ligands, known [TCHPNacnac]− and new [TCHP/DipNacnac]− (ArNacnac = [(ArNCMe)2CH]−) (Ar = 2,4,6-tricyclohexylphenyl (TCHP) or 2,6-diisopropylphenyl (Dip)). The reaction of the proteo-ligands, ArNacnacH, with nBuLi give the lithium etherate compounds, [(TCHPNacnac)Li(OEt2)] and [(TCHP/DipNacnac)Li(OEt2)], which were isolated and characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The unsolvated potassium salts, [{K(TCHPNacnac)}2] and [{K(TCHP/DipNacnac)}∞], were also synthesized and characterized in solution by NMR spectroscopy. In the solid state, these highly reactive potassium complexes exhibit differing alkali metal coordination modes, depending on the ligand involved. These group 1 complexes have potential as reagents for the transfer of the bulky ligand fragments to metal halides, and for the subsequent stabilization of low-oxidation state metal complexes.

Structure Determinations

The reactions of [Fe('pyS4')]2 with PMe3 , PnPr3 , N2H4 and pyridine afforded mononuclear [Fe(L)('pyS4')] complexes with L = PMe3 ( 1 ), PnPr3 (2 ), N2H4 (3) and pyridine (4). NMR spectroscopy, magnetic measurements and X-ray structure determinations revealed that all complexes exhibit frans-thiolate donors and low-spin FeII centres, irrespective of the σ-π or σ ligand character of L. In this regard, the properties of [Fe(L)('pyS4')] complexes strongly contrast with those of [Fe(L)('NHS4')] complexes ('NHS4'2- = 2 ,2 '-bis(2 -mercaptophenylthio)- diethylamine(2 -)) and indicate that the rigid py(CH2)2 entity of the 'pyS42- ligand is able to enforce trans configurations and low-spin states of complexes with [FeNS4 ] cores. In spite of their diamagnetism, confirming the absence of antibonding electrons, all complexes 1 to 4 are highly reactive and rapidly exchange their L ligands for CO to give [Fe(CO)('pyS4')]. Evidence was obtained that the oxidation of [Fe(N'-H4)('pyS4')] (3) yields the diazene complex [μ-N2 H2 {Fe('pyS4’)}2] (5).
