摘要:
The reaction of the ene-diamine LH2 (L = [ArNC(Me)C(Me)NAr](2-), Ar = 2,6-iPr(2)C(6)H(3)) with AlMe3 and AlEt3 yielded the aluminum dimethyl complex (LH)AlMe2 (1) and the radical (L-center dot)AlEt2 (2; L-center dot = [ArNC(Me)C(Me)-NAr](center dot-)), respectively. Treatment of 2 with O-2 and TEMPO (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-l-oxyl) led to hydrogen abstraction from the methyl group at the ligand backbone to give the diamagnetic species (L*)AlEt2 (3; L* = [ArN= C(Me)C(CH2)NAr](-)) and (L*)Al(TEMPO)(Et) (4). In contrast, the reaction of 2 with iodine resulted in the iodination of the Al-C bonds and yielded the radical (L-center dot)AlI2 (5). Reaction of 2 with BCl3 led to electron transfer between the alpha-diimine radicals with the formation of the aluminum cation [(L-0)AlCl2](+)[AlCl4](-) (6; L-0 = ArN=C(Me)(Me)C=NAr) and the diazaborole LBCl (7). The structures of compounds 2, 3, and 7 have been determined by X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and the paramagnetic species 2 has been characterized by EPR measurements.
