Selected AbstractsThe Transient Titanocene(II): Direct Synthesis from Solvated Titanium(II) Chloride and Cyclopentadienylsodium and Ensuing Interception with Diphenylacetylene as 1,1-Bis(cyclopentadienyl)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyltitanacyclopentadiene,EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2007John J. Eisch Abstract For the first time the unstable titanocene(II) has been directly synthesized by the Wilkinson metallocene approach, namely the interaction of a THF-soluble form of titanium(II) chloride with two equivalents of cyclopentadienylsodium in THF solution at 0°,25 °C. Because of the transient existence of the titanocene(II) thereby obtained, it could only be chemically trapped in high yield as 1,1-bis(cyclopentadienyl)-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyltitanacyclopentadiene by two equivalents of diphenylacetylene, if the acetylene was added at 25 °C, without removal of the by-product LiCl and NaCl. If the addition of the acetylene was delayed, in order to filter off the LiCl and NaCl from the reaction mixture, then no trace of the titanacyclopentadiene derivative was found upon hydrolytic workup. Instead, a significant portion of the acetylene was found to have undergone hydrotitanation. This finding is clear evidence that the titanocene(II) had undergone a precedented rearrangement to a known dimer having the structure of a titanocene(III) hydride with a fulvalene bridge between the titanium centers. We suggest that the LiCl and NaCl present in the unfiltered reaction mixture form a dichloro complex with titanocene(II) and thereby retard its dimerizing rearrangement to the titanocene(III) hydride.

Upon complexation of these non-mesogenic ligands, the peculiar structural arrangement, characterized by intermolecular associations of the new derivatives, induces mesomorphism in most [L2MX2] complexes, confirming the importance of coordination chemistry in metal-mediated formation of liquid crystals. Single crystal X-ray structures have been determined for dihexadecyl 2,2,-bipyridyl-4,4,-dicarboxylatopalladium and -zinc dichloride derivatives. Both the metal centres and the ancillary ligands have been varied to use dipole coupling as a tool to control molecular architecture: thermal, as well as spectroscopic properties, depend strongly upon molecular dipolar interactions. Tunable red and blue emitters based on PdII and PtII, both in solution and in the solid state, have been obtained. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

This mixture of isomers could be cleanly converted into the deep green diphenylhydrazido(2,) complexes [Zr(N2TBSNpy)(NNPh2)(py)] (5) and [Hf(N2TBSNpy)(NNPh2)(py)] (6), respectively, by dehydrohalogenation with lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) in the presence of one molar equivalent of pyridine. Both complexes contain a linearly coordinated hydrazinediide for which a DFT-based frontier orbital analysis established bonding through one , and two , orbitals. A high polarity of the MN bond was found, in accordance with the description of hydrazinediide(2,) acting as a six-electron donor ligand. The pyridine ligand in [M(N2TBSNpy)(NNPh2)(py)] (M=Zr: 5, Hf: 6) is substitutionally labile as established by line-shape analysis of the dynamic spectra (,G,=19,kcal,mol,1). A change in denticity of the hydrazido unit from ,1 to ,2 was studied by DFT methods. Both forms are calculated to be very close in energy and are only separated by shallow activation barriers, which supports the notion of a rapid ,1 to ,2 interconversion. This process is believed to happen early on in the NN scission in the presence of coupling reagents. Frontier orbital and natural population analyses suggest that a primarily charge-controlled nucleophilic attack at N, is unlikely whereas interaction with an electrophile could play an important role. This hypothesis was tested by the reaction of 5 and 6 with one molar equivalent of B(C6F5)3 to give [Zr(N2TBSNpy)(NNPh2){B(C6F5)3}] (7) and [Hf(N2TBSNpy)(NNPh2){B(C6F5)3}] (8). In these products, B(C6F5)3 becomes attached to the N, atom of the side-on bound hydrazinediide and there is an additional interaction of an ortho -F atom of a C6F5 ring with the metal centre.

Meppelder Abstract Chiral 1,2- trans -dithiocyclohexanediyl-bridged bis(phenols) of the type [2,2,-{HOC6H2 -6-R1 -4-R2}2S2C6H10] ([OSSO]H2, R1=tBu, iPr, H; R2=tBu, iPr, Me) could be conveniently and selectively synthesized in three steps, starting from cyclohexene oxide and arene thiolate. The racemic bis(phenols) could be resolved using an enantiopure (S)-camphorsulfonic ester auxiliary or by (chiral) HPLC. Complexation of the racemic bis(phenols) to TiX4 (X=Cl, OiPr) proceeds in a diastereoselective fashion to give only the ,,R,R and ,,S,S enantiomers. Racemic [Ti{(OC6H2 -6- tBu-4-Me)2S2C6H10}Cl2] reacts with benzyl magnesium bromide to afford the crystallographically characterized dibenzyl complex. The benzyl cation formed using B(C6F5)3 in C6D5Br slowly decomposes at temperatures above +10,°C. When treated with methylaluminoxane, the dichloro complexes [Ti{OSSO}Cl2] polymerize styrene with activities up to 146,kg,(mol,catalyst),1,[styrene,(mol,L,1)],1,h,1; diisopropoxy complexes [Ti{OSSO}(OiPr)2] show mere trace activity. With 1-hexene as a chain-transfer agent, activated enantiopure titanium complexes give low-molecular-weight homochiral isotactic oligostyrenes, terminated by one to five 1-hexene units with Mn values as low as 750,g,mol,1 for R=tBu and 1290,g,mol,1 for R=Me. Below Mn,5000 these oligostyrenes show optical activity. [source] |
