摘要:
The reaction of Cp(2)ZrMe(PHR) with benzophenone, cyclohexanone, acetone, benzaldehyde, and benzophenone results in the insertion of the organic substrate into the Zr-P bond. In this way, the complexes Cp(2)ZrMe(OCPh(2)PH(C6H2-2,4,6-t-Bu(3))) (3), Cp(2)ZrMe(OC6H10PH(C6H2-2,4,6-t-Bu(3))) (4), Cp(2)ZrMe(OCMe(2)PHR) (R = (C6H2-2,4,6-t-Bu(3)) (5), R = (C6H2-2,4,6-Me(3)) (8), and Cp(2)ZrMe(NC(Ph)PH(C6H2-2,4,6-t-Bu(3))) (6) were prepared. The species Cp(2)ZrMe(PH(C6H2-2,4,6-Me(3))) (7) was also formed in the reaction of Cp(2)ZrMe(2) with H2P(C6H2-2,4,6-Me(3)); however, 7 reacted further with Cp(2)ZrMe(2) to give the bimetallic species (Cp(2)ZrMe)(2)(mu-P(C6H2-2,4,6-Me(3)) (9). In the analogous reaction of Cp(2)ZrMe(2) with 1 equiv of H2P(C6H2-2,4,6-Me(3)), the species (Cp(2)Zr)(Cp(2)ZrPH(C6H2-2,4,6-Me(3)))(mu-P6H2-2,4,6-Me(3)))(mu-eta(1)-eta(5)-C5H4) (11) was obtained. Compound 11, which results from cyclopentadienyl C-H bond activation, was also formed directly from degradation of the unstable terminal phosphinidene species Cp(2)Zr(P(C6H2-2,4,6-Me(3)))(PMe(3)) (12). The implications of this chemistry are considered and discussed. Compound 3, 9, and 11 have been characterized crystallographically.
