Synthesis and Complexation Behavior of Indenyl and Cyclopentadienyl Ligands Functionalized with a Naphthyridine Unit
摘要:
Lithium indenide (Li-Ind) or cyclopentadienide (Li-Cp) derivatives react as nucleophiles with 8-(methylsulfinyl)-1,5-naphthyridine (Naph), leading to donor-functionalized ligands Ind(Naph) or Cp-Naph, respectively. The new ligands comprise two N-donor atoms, which, for geometric reasons, cannot bind to the same metal atom. In complexes, where the metal atom is bound by the Cp or Ind moiety, the N5-donor atom is located in a distal position. The coordination behavior to Rh or Zr metal centers has been investigated. The Cp-based ligands show the expected chelating coordination mode with eta(5)-Cp and N coordination, whereas the indenyl units act as dihapto, trihapto, or pentahapto ligands. The dinuclear Rh(I) complex 12 shows a rare coordination geometry with two eta(3) ligands bridging a Rh-2(CO)(3) fragment.

Cyclopentadienyl ligands functionalized with a 1,5-naphthyridine donor have been used for the formation of chromium(III) half-sandwich complexes. In addition to standard analytical characterization, the complexes have been investigated by paramagnetic H-1 NMR spectroscopy combined with DFT calculations. After activation, highly active single-site catalysts are obtained that lead to the formation of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE). Evaluation of polymer formation after different polymerization times at low temperature shows that the number of active centers is low at the beginning, but increases with polymerization time.
