Abstract
The nuclearity and structural motifs of alkaline earth complexes supported by bidentate phenoxyimine ligands has been explored by modulation of the stereoelectronic profile of the ligand, the atomic number of the metal, and the synthetic protocol. Changing the size of the N-imine substituents was found to have no effect on protonolysis reactions between [MgN″2]2 or CaN″2(thf)2 (N″ = N(SiMe3)2) and H t Bu2,ArL (1-OH-2-CH = NAr-4,6- t Bu-C6H2; Ar = 2,6-iPr-C6H3 = Dipp or 2,6-CHPh2-4-Me-C6H2 = Ar*) regardless of reaction stoichiometry, with homoleptic bis(ligand) complexes ( t Bu2,DippL)2Mg (1), ( t Bu2,Ar*L)2Mg (2), ( t Bu2,DippL)2Ca(thf) (3) and ( t Bu2,Ar*L)2Ca(thf) (4) isolated. The importance of reaction protocol was demonstrated by the facile isolation of heteroleptic complex ( t Bu2,Ar*L)MgI(OEt2) (5) from the reaction of equimolar amounts of H t Bu2,Ar*L and MeMgI. Importantly, no subsequent ligand redistribution was observed when complex 5 readily reacted with KN" or KODipp to form ( t Bu2,Ar*L)Mg{N(SiMe3)2}(OEt2) (6) and ( t Bu2,Ar*L)Mg(ODipp)(thf) (7). When small 4,6-phenoxide substituents were considered (HH2,DippL), multimetallic clusters were afforded: (H2,DippL)3Ca2(N″)(thf) (8) and (H2,DippL)6Sr3 (9).
期刊介绍:
Organometallics is the flagship journal of organometallic chemistry and records progress in one of the most active fields of science, bridging organic and inorganic chemistry. The journal publishes Articles, Communications, Reviews, and Tutorials (instructional overviews) that depict research on the synthesis, structure, bonding, chemical reactivity, and reaction mechanisms for a variety of applications, including catalyst design and catalytic processes; main-group, transition-metal, and lanthanide and actinide metal chemistry; synthetic aspects of polymer science and materials science; and bioorganometallic chemistry.
