Rare-Earth-Metal Mixed Hydride/Aryloxide Complexes Bearing Mono(cyclopentadienyl) Ligands. Synthesis, CO2 Fixation, and Catalysis on Copolymerization of CO2 with Cyclohexene Oxide
摘要:
Hydrogenolysis of mono(cyclopentadienyl)-ligated rare-earth-metal bis(alkyl) complexes Cp'Ln-(CH2SiMe3)2(THF) (Ln = Y (1a), Dy (1b), Lu (1c); Cp' = C5Me4SiMe3) with PhSiH3 afforded the mixed hydride/alkyl complexes [Cp'Ln(mu-H)(CH2SiMe3)(THF)](2) (Ln = Y (2a), Dy (2b), Lu (2c)). The overall structure of complexes 2a-c is a C-2-symmetric dimer containing a planar symmetric Ln(2)H(2) core at the center of the molecule. Deprotonation of ArOH (Ar = C6H2-Bu-t(2)-2,6-Me-4) by the metal alkyl group of 2a-c led to formation of the mixed hydride/aryloxide derivatives [Cp'Ln(mu-H)(OAr)](2) (Ln = Y (3a), Dy (3b), Lu (3c)), which adopt the dimeric structure through hydride bridges with trans-accommodated terminal aryloxide groups. Complexes 3a-c swiftly reacted with CO2 to generate the mixed formate/carbonate complexes [Cp'Ln(mu-eta(1):eta(1)-O2CH)(mu-eta(1):eta(1)-O2COAr)](2) (Ln = Y (4a), Dy (4b), Lu (4c)). The two Cp'Ln fragments in these complexes are bridged by the formate and carbonate species, respectively, to form two square-pyramidal geometries around the metal centers. Furthermore, complexes 3a-c initiated the copolymerization of CO2 and cyclohexene oxide (CHO) under mild conditions to afford polymers with modest molecular weights and high carbonate linkages (92-99%).

excellent catalytic activity for the addition of amines to carbodiimides, yielding the corresponding guanidines. Isolation, structural characterization, and catalytic application of the binuclear lutetium amido complex showed clearly that the catalytic cycle was initiated by the dissociation of Cp′. These results demonstrated that Cp′, for the first time, acted as a reactive site to yield the active Ln–N
