Syntheses and X-ray structures of some pyrrolylaldiminate metal complexes
摘要:
Several pyrrolylaldiminate complexes of Group 1, 4 and 13 metals are reported. The reaction of 5-tert-butyl-2-[(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)aldimino]pyrrole (HL) with NaH produced LNa(THF) (1). In situ lithiation of HL followed by addition of one equivalent of MClx (M = Zr, x = 4; M = Hf, x = 4, M = Al, x = 3) afforded the corresponding pyrrolylaldiminate complexes, MLCl2(mu-Cl)(2)Li(OEt2)(2) (M = Zr, 3; Hf, 4) and AlLCl2 (5). Alkylation of 5 with MeMgBr generated AILMe(2) (6). In addition to the spectroscopic data, complexes 3-6 were characterized by X-ray crystallography. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
