Kinetic versus thermodynamic control of the self-assembly of isomeric double-stranded dinuclear titanium(iv) complexes from a phenylalanine-bridged dicatechol ligand
Kinetic versus thermodynamic control of the self-assembly of isomeric double-stranded dinuclear titanium(iv) complexes from a phenylalanine-bridged dicatechol ligand
The phenylalanine-bridged dicatechol ligand L-H4
forms under kinetic reaction conditions a double-stranded dinuclear
titanium(IV) complex
[(L)2Ti2(OCH3)2]2−
, as a mixture of seven regio- and stereo-isomers, which in solution
transforms into the thermodynamically favored major product and two minor
side products.
