Structural characterization of zirconium isopropoxide precursors modified by di- and trichloroacetic acids
摘要:
Reactions Of Zr((OPr)-Pr-i)(4)((PrOH)-O-i) with di- and trichloroacetic acid in 1:1 molar ratio in toluene gave the products Zr-2(mu-(OPr)-Pr-i)(2)(mu-OOCCHCl2)((OPr)-Pr-i)(4)(OOCCHCl2)((HOPr)-Pr-i) (1) and Zr-2(mu-(OPr)-Pr-i)(2)(mu OOCCCl3)((OPr)-Pr-i)(4)(OOCCCl3)((HOPr)-Pr-i) (2), respectively, in quantitative yields. The molecular geometry of both (1) and (2) is constituted by a slightly distorted edge-shared bioctahedron and both have almost similar bond dimensions. Addition of dichloroacetic acid in 1:2 molar ratio to Zr((OPr)-Pr-i)4((HOPr)-Pr-i) in toluene although yielded the bis-substituted crude product Zr((OPr)-Pr-i)(2)(OOCCHCl2)(2)((HOPr)-Pr-i) (3) but its solution in toluene left for crystallization formed a tri-nuclear oxo product Zr-3(mu 3-O)(mu-(OPr)-Pr-i)(2)(mu-OOCCHCl2)(3)(eta-OOCCHCl2)(2)((OPr)-Pr-i)(3) (3a). The three zirconium atoms in the structure of (3) are forming an isosceles triangle with a triply bridged oxo moiety at its center. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
