Synthesis and Characterization of Organoaluminum Complexes Containing Bi- or Tridentate-Substituted Pyrrole Ligands
摘要:
Reactions of AlCl3 with 1 equiv of Li{C4H2N(CH2NMe2)(2)-2,5} or 2 equiv of Li{C4H3N(CH2NMe2)-2} in diethyl ether at -78 degreesC afforded AlCl2{C4H2N(CH2NMe2)(2)-2,5} (1) and AlCl{C4H3N(CH2NMe2)-2} (2), respectively. Alkylation of 1 with MeLi in diethyl ether generates the aluminum dimethyl complex 3. Compound 2 is thermally unstable and was converted to uncharacterized product in CHCl3 within 2 days at 80 degreesC. Compounds 1, 2, and 3 were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure determination.
The novel hydride-bridged tetranuclear aluminum complex AlH2[C4H2N(CH2NMe2)2-2,5]AlH3}2 (2) and the related deuterium complex AlD2[C4H2N(CH2NMe2)2-2,5]AlD3}2 (2-D) have been synthesized by reaction of AlCl2[C4H2N(CH2NMe2)2-2,5] (1) with 2 equiv of LiAlH4 or LiAlD4. The crystal structure of complex 2-D reveals an unusual structure in which the aluminum atoms are in a square-planar arrangement. Reaction
