Investigations on Organolanthanide Derivatives with the Hydrazonido (−NHN═CPh2) Ligand: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Reactivity
摘要:
Two organolanthanide complexes with the benzophenone hydrazonido(1-) ligand, [Cp2Yb(mu-NHN=CPh2)](2) (1) and Cp2Er[eta(2)-NHN=CPh2(THF) (2), were synthesized by abstraction of cyclopentadienyl from Cp(3)Ln with 1 equiv of benzophenone hydrazone in THF. Reaction of 1 and 2 with phenyl isocyanate gives Ln-N bond insertion with the 1,3-H migration products CP(2)Ln(eta(2)-OC (NHPh)NN=CPh2)(HMPA)(Ln = Yb(3), Er(4)). However, 1 and 2 react with PhNCS to give Ln-N bond insertion without the 1,3-H migration products Cp(2)Ln[eta(2)-SC(NHN=CPh2NPh)(HMPA)(Ln = Yb (5), Er (6)) under the same conditions. PhCN inserts into the Er-N bond of 2 with 1,3-hydrogen migration to form the organolanthanide heterometallacycles CP2Er[eta(2)-NHC(Ph)NN=CPh2] (7). However, (BuNC)-Bu-t does not insert into the Er-N bond of 2 under the same conditions, and treatment of 2 with (BuNC)-Bu-t leads to the isolation of the solvent-free dimer [Cp2Er[mu-eta(1):eta(2)-NHN=CPh2)](2) (2'). All new compounds have been characterized through X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis.
