Hydrolysis Of

A photo and thermally stable bis(amidate)–dibenzyl complex of Hf ([DMP(NO)Ph]2Hf(CH2Ph)2(THF) (2a) was formed as a monosolvated THF adduct in near quantitative yield from Hf(CH2Ph)4 and N-2,6-dimethylphenyl(phenyl)amide (1). Isomerization between the THF-bound product and the THF-free product can be observed visually by the conversion from a red-orange product at low temperatures to a pale yellow product at high temperatures. Solid-state crystallographic characterization of the orange product confirmed its constitution as a monosolvated species. Kinetic parameters for the exchange of the THF moiety were determined from variable-temperature NMR experiments. The product of the hydrolysis of the Hf dibenzyl species by water was characterized by X-ray crystallography, and was found to be a rare tetrametallic Hf oxo cluster species (3).Key words: hafnium, protonolysis, amidate, coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, exchange processes.

Atom Source

Reaction of McConville's chelating amido titanium complex [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]Ti(CH3)2 (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3) with either elemental Se or the tellurium atom source Te=PBu3 resulted in the formation of bis-µ-chalcogenido dimers [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]2Ti(µ-E)2 (E = Se, 2; Te, 3) with concommitant loss of EMe2. The dimers 2 and 3 were characterized spectroscopically and via X-ray crystallography. The two compounds are isostructural in the solid state. The tellurido dimer 3 may also be synthesized by reduction of the diamido dichloride [(Ar)NCH2CH2CH2N(Ar)]2TiCl2 with Na–Hg amalgam followed by treatment with Te=PBu3. This dimer is unreactive toward further Te=PBu3 or stannanes such as HSnBu3. Unlike decamethyltitanocene derivatives, the diamido complex is not an effective catalyst precursor for the heterohydrodecoupling of Te=PBu3 and HSnBu3.Key words: diamido titanium complexes, selenides, tellurides.

Ligands Exchange

A highly fluxional dititanium N-methyldiethoxoamine hexaisopropoxide complex was isolated from reactions of N-methyldiethanolamine with Ti(OPri)4. X-ray crystallography identified the solid state compound as the unsymmetrical complex Ti2(μ2-(OCH2CH2)2NCH3)(μ2-OPri)(OPri)5. In solution, the time-averaged structure was shown by NMR to be symmetrical. The amine function coordinates to both titanium atoms alternately, while the isopropoxide ligands exchange to maintain equal coordination numbers on both titaniums. Variable temperature NMR demonstrates that the exchange processes slow on cooling, and a spectrum consistent with the solid-state structure is apparent at –50�C.

Complete Dissociation

Indium(III) iodide forms both 1:1 and 1:2 adducts with triphenylphosphine, depending on the reaction conditions, and especially on the solvent used. The complex InI3•PPh3 involves four-coordination at indium; the structure is trigonal, with a = 15.105(4) Å, c = 16.769(7) Å, V = 3313(2) Å3, Z = 6, and space group [Formula: see text]. Crystals were also obtained in which InI3•PPh3 and InI3(PPh3)2 are present in a 1:1 ratio; these are also trigonal, a = 15.473(4) Å, c = 41.701(7) Å, V = 8646.1(1.8) Å3,Z = 3 + 3 and space group [Formula: see text]. The 1:2 adduct has approximately D3h symmetry in the InI3P2 kernel. The bond distances and angles are discussed; in particular, the In—P bonds are extremely weak in the 1:2 adduct. This compound has been shown by 31P NMR to undergo complete dissociation in solution to InI3•PPh3 and PPh3. The addition of R4NI (R = n-C3H7, n-C4H9) causes quantitative conversion to InI4− and free Ph3P. Similar experiments are reported for the compound InI3(dppe) (dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane), whose structure is an infinite chain of InI3 units linked through In-P-C2H4-P-In coordination. The crystal structure showed that InI3(dppe) cocrystallizes with an equimolar quantity of dppe; these crystals are cubic, a = 41.445(14) Å, b = 15.944(8) Å, c = 16.533(11) Å, p = 102.02(4)°, V = 10 685(9) Å3, Z = 4 + 4, space group C2/c, Solid state and solution phase results are discussed in terms of the coordination chemistry of indium(III). Key words: indium, phosphorus, coordination chemistry, multinuclear NMR, X-ray crystallography.

The reduction of magnesium phthalocyanine (MgPc) with 2.2 equivalents of potassium graphite in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) gives [K2(DME)4]PcMg(OH)(1) in 67% yield. Compound 1 was structurally characterized using single crystal X-ray crystallography and was found to be a monomeric, heterometallic complex consisting of a μ3-OH ligand that bridges a [MgIIPc3-]- anion to two potassium cations solvated by four DME molecules. An absorption spectrum of 1 confirms the Pc ligand is singly reduced and has a 3–charge. The solid-state structure of 1 does not indicate breaking of the aromaticity of the Pc ligand. Compound 1 is only the second Pc3- complex and the first reduced MgPc to be isolated and structurally characterized.

Semiquinone (p-benzosemiquinone), a transient organic radical, was detected in the solid state by EPR spectroscopy revealing four symmetrically equivalent protons. A variable-temperature X-ray diffraction analysis (293 and 90 K) and EPR data support a dynamical disorder of the proton. A low-barrier O—H···O hydrogen bond stabilizes the radical. The C—O bond length is 1.297 (4) Å, corresponding to a bond order of ca 1.5. The geometry of the radical implies an electron delocalization throughout the benzenoid ring. Two polymorphs of semiquinone, monoclinic and triclinic, were observed and their structures determined. Their crystal packings were compared with those of quinhydrone polymorphs.

Pentadentate Ligand

Uncontrolled reaction of water with scandium alkyls (compounds <b>1-R</b>) supported by a dianionic, pentadentate ligand leads to rapid formation of an oxo-bridged dimer (<b>2</b>). Solid state samples can be exposed to ambient atmosphere to generate samples enriched in the bridging dihydroxo dimer <b>3</b>, which slowly converts to the m-oxo species with elimination of water. DFT computations show that <b>3</b> is actually more thermodynamically stable than <b>2</b>, but the reactivity of <b>3</b> with the water eliminated leads to its decomposition to <b>2</b> and several hydrolysis products. Some of these products were characterized by X-ray crystallography, specifically a hexameric scandium dihydroxo cluster (<b>4</b>) in which the pentadentate ligand has partially demetallated. Attempts to synthesize hydroxo complex <b>3</b> by protonation of <b>2</b> also lead to hydrolysis products.

This paper describes the synthesis of two beta-phosphorylamide ligands and their coordination chemistry with the Ln ions Tb3+, Eu3+, and Sm3+. Both the ligands and Ln complexes were characterized by IR, NMR, MS, and X-ray crystallography. The luminescence properties of the Tb3+ and Eu3+ complexes were also characterized, including the acquisition of lifetime decay curves. In the solid state, the Tb3+ and Sm3+ ligand complexes were found to have a 2:2 stoichiometry when analyzed by X-ray diffraction. In these structures, the Ln ion was bound by both oxygen atoms of each beta-phosphorylamide moiety of the ligands. The Tb3+ and Eu3+ complexes were modestly emissive as solutions in acetonitrile, with lifetime values that fell within typical ranges.

The reaction of AlMe3 with three equivalents of HOSiPh3 in THF results in the formation of the solvent complex Al(OSiPh3)3(THF) (1). Hydrolysis of 1 yields the stable water complex Al(OSiPh3)3(H2O)(THF)2 (2) in which the THF molecules are hydrogen bonded to the coordinated water ligand. Compounds 1 and 2 have been fully characterized by 1H, 13C, 17O, 27Al, and 29Si NMR and IR spectroscopy. In addition, variable temperature 1H NMR of 2 has been employed to investigate the steric interactions between the phenyl rings of adjacent siloxide ligands. The molecular structures of the solvates 1•(THF) and 2•(THF)1.25 have been determined by X-ray crystallography. 1•(THF): monoclinic P21/c, a = 10.03 (1), b = 23.758 (6), c = 23.294 (7) Å, β = 101.13 (6)°, Z = 4, R = 0.084, Rw = 0.094. 2•(THF)1.25: cubic [Formula: see text], a = 23.034 (3) Å, Z = 4, R = 0.093, Rw = 0.099.
