摘要:
The guanidines (HNi-Pr)(2)C=NAr (Ar = 4-t-BuC6H4 1, 4-BrC6H4 2 and 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 3) have been used in the synthesis of the lithium salts [Li{i-PrN(HNiPr)C=NAr}(THF)](2) 4-6 and [Li-2{(Ni-Pr)(2)C=NAr}] 7-9. Complexes [Zr{k(2), N,N'-(Ni-Pr)(NAr)CNH(i-Pr)}(2)Cl-2] (Ar = 4-t-BuC6H4 10, 4-BrC6H4 11, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 12), which contain an asymmetrical monoanionic guanidinate ligand coordinated to the zirconium atom, were obtained by protonolysis of 1-3 in the presence of NEt3 or by a metathesis reaction of 4-6 with ZrCl4. The zirconocene complexes [Zr(eta(5)-C5H5)(2){k(2), N,N'-(Ni-Pr)(NAr)CNH(i-Pr)}Cl] (Ar - 4-t-BuC6H4 13, 4-BrC6H4 14, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 15) and [Zr(eta(5)-C5H5)(2){k(2), N,N'-(Ni-Pr)(2)C=NAr}] (Ar 4-t-BuC6H4 16, 4-BrC6H4 17, 2,4,6-Me3C6H2 18) were synthesized by metathesis reactions of the corresponding lithium salts and Zr(eta(5)-C5H5)(2)Cl-2. Complexes 16-18 exhibit dynamic behavior in solution and this was studied by variable-temperature NMR experiments. The molecular structures of 4 and 10 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
