Synthesis, Characterization, and Activation of Zirconium and Hafnium Dialkyl Complexes that Contain a C2-Symmetric Diaminobinaphthyl Dipyridine Ligand
摘要:
The diamine rac-H-2[MepyN] (rac-N,N'-di(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-2,2'-diaminobinaphthalene) has been prepared in good yield through reductive amination of rac-2,2'-diaminobinaphthalene with 6-methylpyridinecarboxaldehyde. The [MepyN](2-) ligand has been employed to prepare a variety of zirconium and hafnium complexes, [MepyN]MX2 (M = Zr, X = NMe2, Cl, OSO2CF3, CH2CHMe2, CH2Ph; M = Hf, X = NMe2, OSO2CF3, CH2CHMe2). The solid state structures of [MepyN]Zr(CH2Ph)(2), [MepyN]Zr(NMe2)Cl, [MepyN]Hf(CH2CHMe2)(2), and [MepyN]Hf(OSO2CF3)(2) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Activation of [MepyN]Zr(CH2Ph)(2) and [MepyN]Hf(CH2CHMe2)(2) with various Lewis acids leads to observable cationic alkyls that are not active toward 1-hexene polymerization.
