摘要:
Members of the SalanH(4) class of tetradentate (-N2O2) ligand, N,N'-bis(o-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (SaleanH(4)), N,N'-bis(o-hydroxybenzyl)-1,3-diaminopropane (SalpanH(4)), N,N'-bis(o-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2-diaminobenzene (SalophanH(4)), and N,N'-bis(o-hydroxybenzyl)-1,2-diamino-4,5-dimethylbenzene (SalomphanH(4)), demonstrate a wide range of chemistry with AlMe(3). For instance, SalpanH(4) will react with 1 and 2 equiv of AlMe(3) to produce the complexes SalpanH(2)(AlMe) (1) and [SalpanAl(AlMe(2))](2) (2), respectively. When 3 equiv of AlMe(3) is added to the appropriate ligand, the novel trimetallic derivatives Salean(AlMe)(A1Me(2))(2) (3), Salpan(AlMe)(AlMe(2))(2) (4), Salophan(AlMe)(AlMe(2))(2) (5), and Salomphan(AlMe)(AlMe(2))(2) (6) result. A general feature of 3-6 is the presence of a rigid solution-state geometry as evidenced by the H-1 NMR. A crystallographic study of 3 has shown that the molecules are comprised of a central AlMe group coordinated in a planar array to the nitrogens and oxygens of the ligand. The two AlMe(2) groups each bridge an oxygen and nitrogen atom. The overall morphology of 4 and 5 is similar to that shown for 3. However, structural characterization of 4 and 5 indicates that the AlMe(2) groups are inequivalent, with one bridging the two oxygens and the other bridging the two nitrogens.
