Synthesis and crystal structure of the Sm(ButNCHCHNBut)2(bpy) complex
摘要:
Reaction of Sm(bpy)(4) (bpy is 2,2'-bipyridyl) with di-tert-butyldiazahutadiene (dad) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) affords the mixed-ligand complex Sm(dad)(2)(bpy) (1). Complex 1 was isolated as black paramagnetic crystals readily soluble in THF, 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME), toluene, and ether. Compound 1 was characterized by IR and ESR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and by the results of magnetic measurements. Based on the difference between the Sm-N bond lengths and on the data of IR spectroscopy, the following formal charge distribution in the molecule of complex 1 was proposed: Sm3+(dad)(2-)(dad)(1-)(bpy)(0).
