Synthesis, Characterization, and Reduction Chemistry of Mixed-Cyclopentadienyl/Arylsulfide Titanium Dichlorides
摘要:
A series of titanium derivatives [CpTi(SAr)Cl-2] containing both cyclopentadienyl and various substituted arylsulfide ligands (SAr = SC6H4Me-4 (1), SC6H2Me3-2,4,6 (2), SC6H2-Pr-3(i)-2,4,6 (3), SC6H2Ph3-2A6 (4)) has been synthesized from the reaction of [CpTiCl3] with 1 equiv of the lithium salt of the corresponding arylsulfides in benzene. X-ray diffraction studies show that each metal center possesses a pseudo-tetrahedral geometry. The compounds undergo one-electron reduction to produce sulfur-bridged dimers of the type [CpTiCl(mu-SAr)](2) (SAr = SC6H2Me3-2,4,6 (5), SC6H2Pr3i-2,4,6 (6)). The solid-state structures of these dimers show that the cyclopentadienyl rings are arranged in a transoid fashion about the [Ti(mu-SAr)(2)Ti] core. The Ti-Ti distances, 3.242(1) and 3.225(1) Angstrom, respectively, are similar to those found in previously reported Cp/aryloxide dimers with terminal aryloxides and bridging chlorides.
