Synthesis and structures of titanium imido complexes of sulfur- and mixed nitrogen–sulfur- and nitrogen–oxygen-donor macrocycles
摘要:
The first Group 4 complexes of 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane ([9]aneS(3)) and the mixed N/S- and N/O-donor macrocycles Me-2[9]aneN(2)E (E = S or O) are described. Thus, reaction of the tert-butylimido complex [Ti((NBU)-B-t)Cl-2(PY)(2)] with [9]aneS3 gives an equilibrium mixture of starting materials and the complex [Ti((NBu)-Bu-t)Cl-2([9]aneS(3))] (1) which can be isolated in modest yields. [Ti((NBU)-B-t)Cl-2(PY)(3)] reacts readily with the mixed N/S- or N/O-donor macrocycles Me-2[9]aneN(2)E to give the corresponding [Ti((NBu)-Bu-t)Cl-2(Me-2[9]aneN(2)E)] [E = S (2) or 0 (3)]. The compound 2 exists in solution and solid state as the C-1-symmetrical isomer in which the macrocycle sulfur atom lies cis to the NtBu ligand. In contrast, compound 3 exists as the C-s-symmetrical isomer with the macrocyclic oxygen donor positioned trans to the (NBu)-Bu-t ligand. The X-ray crystal structures of the compounds 1 . CH2Cl2, 2 . CH2Cl2, and 3 are reported. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
