Reactions of the 6,6-dimethylcyclohexadienyl anion with MCl4(PMe3)2 complexes (M=Hf, Nb) – Isolation of complex intramolecular coupling products
摘要:
Reactions of NbCl(4)(PMe(3))(2) and HfCl(4)(PMe(3))(2) with four equivalents of the 6,6-dimethylcyclohexadienyl anion lead to Nb(6,6-dmch) [eta(2,4)-(dmch)(2)](PMe(3)) and Hf(6,6-dmch)[eta(3,4)-(dmch)(3)](PMe(3)). Each complex has been crystallographically characterized, and found to contain one eta(5)-bound 6,6-dmch ligand, with the other dmch units coupled together to yield olefin, allyl, and diene coordinations, resulting in 18 electron configurations for these compounds.
