Ion Pairing in Ti(IV) Trisamidotriazacyclononane Compounds
摘要:
[Ti{N(Ph)SiMe2}(3)-tacn]X complexes (X = Cl, 1; I, 2; PF6, 3; BPh4, 4) were studied by NMR and electron absorption and emission methods, which showed that these compounds exist in bromobenzene and dichloromethane solutions as ion pairs. The significant modifications observed in the proton resonances of tacn in C6D5Br, which follow the sequence BPh4- >= PF6- >= I- approximate to Cl-, are a qualitative indication of the strength of the interactions that depend on the anion. The reaction of 2 with LiNMe2 led to (Ti(NPh){NPh(SiMe2)}(2)-tacn], 5, that forms upon attack of Me2N- at one SiMe2 group. The formation of 5 is discussed on the basis of the interactions identified in solution.
Titanium(III) Trisamidotriazacyclononane: Reactions with C60 and Radicals
摘要:
The reaction of titanium trisamidotriazacyclononane, [Ti{N(Ph)SiMe2}(3)tacn] (1), with C-60 led to the synthesis of [Ti{N(Ph)SiMe2}(3)tacn]C-60 (2) in high yield. Treatment of 2 with PhCH2Br led to the formation of [Ti{N(Ph)SiMe(2}3)tacn]Br and the radical PhCH2C60 (3). The reaction of CH3I with 1 gives two products. One is [Ti{N(Ph)SiMe2}(3)tacn]l (4), which results from the oxidation of 1 by an I radical. The other product, 5, resulting from a multistep reaction scheme that involves redox and nucleophilic reactions, presents an imido ligand formed by ligand rearrangement upon C-N bond cleavage. In solution, an exchange process that corresponds to a reversible 1,3silyl shift between two Ti-bonded N atoms leads to isomers 5a and 5b. This equilibrium transforms an imido (TiNPh) into an amido ligand (Ti{NPh}SiMe2CH2Ph) with concomitant generation of an anionic moiety in the originally neutral triazacyclononane ring. In solution, either 5a or 5b displays additional fluxional processes that consist of its corresponding racemization processes.
