Syntheses and characterization of tetrakis(5-tert-butylpyrazole) Fe(II) and Mn(II) complexes. Molecular structure of Fe(Pzt-Bu)4(OTF)2
摘要:
Dichlorotetrakis(5-t-butylpyrazole)iron (1), dichlorotetrakis(5-t-butylpyrazole) manganese (2), and tetrakis(5-t-butylpyrazole) iron(II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate) (3) were prepared and characterized. The crystal structure of 3 was determined from X-ray diffraction data. Complex 3 has a distorted octahedral structure with the two triflate ligands at mutually trans positions. Complexes 1 and 2 are mild catalysts for the selective epoxidation of styrene and norbornylene. In comparison, complex 3 is an efficient catalyst for the epoxidation of norbornylene, but promotes the oxidation of styrene predominantly to benzaldehyde. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

An unexpected deboronation of [tBuB(3-tBuC3H2N2)3]− in a reaction with iron(II) chloride, and the X-ray crystal structure of trans-FeCl2(tBuC3H3N2)4
摘要:
The reaction between FeCl2(THF)(1.5) and the sterically hindered thallium salt of tert-butyl-tris(3-tert-butylpyrazol-1-yl)borate, Tl[(BuB)-Bu-t(3-Bu-t-pz)(3)], gives the complex trans -FeCl2(Bu-t-pzH)(4) (1) as the only isolable product in 19% yield. Compound 1 has been crystallographically characterized and appears to be a typical high-spin octahedral iron(II) complex (mu(eff) = 5.1 +/- 0.3 BM). (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
