摘要:
Reactions of the magnesium imides [Mg(NAr)(THF)](6) (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3, 1a; Ph, 1b) with [(NbCpCl4)-Cl-Cl] (CPCl = eta(5)-C5H4 (SiMe2Cl)) afforded the imido complexes [(NbCpCl2)-Cl-Cl(NAr)] (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3, 2a; Ph, 2b) in good yield. Compound 2a reacted with excess LiNH(2,6-Me2C6H3) to give the silyl-eta-amido complex [Nb(eta(5)-C5H4SiMe2-eta(1)-NAr)Cl(NAr)] (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3, 3a). Hydrolysis of the Si-Cl bond of compounds 2a and 2b yielded the dinuclear complexes [{NbCl2(NAr)}(2){(eta(5)-C5H4SiMe2)(2)(mu-O)}] (Ar = 2,6-Me2C6H3, 4a; Ph, 4b), respectively. All of the new compounds reported were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and the molecular structure of 3a was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
