Synthesis, structural characterization, and properties of heavier alkaline earth complexes containing bis(pyrazolyl)borate or bis(3,5-diisopropylpyrazolyl)borate ligands
摘要:
Treatment of a solid mixture of KBH4 with six equivalents of 3,5-diisopropylpyrazole (iPr(2)pzH) at 180 degrees C afforded KTp(iPr2)(iPr(2)PzH)(3) in 53% yield. KBp(iPr2) was synthesized in 56% yield by treatment of a 1:2 M ratio of KBH4 and iPr(2)PzH in refluxing dimethylacetamide. Treatment of MI2 (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) with two equivalents of KBp or KBp(iPr2) in tetrahydrofuran afforded MBp(2)(THF)(2) (M = Ca, 64%, M = Sr, 81%), BaBp(2)(THF)(4) (32%), and M(BPiPr2)(2)(THF)(2) (M = Ca, 63%; M = Sr, 61%, M = Ba, 48%) as colorless crystalline solids upon workup. These complexes were characterized by spectral and analytical techniques and by X-ray crystal structure determinations of all complexes except KBiPr2. KTp(iPr2)(iPr(2)PzH)(3) contains one kappa(3)-N,N,N-Tp(iPr2) ligand and three kappa(1)-iPr(2)PzH ligands, with overall distorted octahedral geometry about the K ion. The iPr(2)PzH nitrogen-hydrogen bonds are engaged in intramolecular hydrogen bonding to the 2-nitrogen atoms of the Tp(iPr2) ligand. The solid state structures of MBp(2)(THF)(2), BaBp(2)(THF)(4), and M(Bp(iPr2))(2)(THF)(2) contain kappa(3)-N,N,H Bp and Bp(iPr2) ligands, which form through metal-nitrogen bond formation to the 2-nitrogen atoms of the pyrazolyl fragments and metal-hydrogen bond formation to one boron-bound hydrogen atom per Bp ligand. SrBp(2)(THF)(2)has the shortest metal-hydrogen interactions among the series. A combination of preparative sublimations, solid state decomposition temperatures, and thermo-gravimetric analysis demonstrated that MBp(2)(THF)(2), BaBp(2)(THF)(4), and M(Bp(iPr2))(2)(THF)(2) undergo solid state decomposition at moderate temperatures.
