Formation of mixed-metal alkoxides mediated by the reactivity of coordinated pinacol
摘要:
The addition of pinacol to mixtures of titanium and cerium isopropoxides as well as the use of insoluble titanium and cerium pinacolate synthons was investigated as a route to M-Ce (M=Ti, Nb) species. Pinacol was able to promote the formation of mixed-metal species and the first Ce-Ti and Ce-Nb species namely Ce-2Ti(pin)(2)(OPri)(8) and [M2Ce2(mu(3)-O)(2)(mu,eta(2)pin)(4)(OPri)(6)H-x] [M = Ti, x = 2; M = Nb, x = 0; pin = OCMe2-COMe2] were isolated and characterized by FT-IR and H-1 NMR. The latter were also characterized by X-Ray diffraction. Their structures are based on a rhombus compressed along the M...M direction with 6-coordinated metals. The pinacolate moieties act as bridging-chelating ligands. The metal-oxygen bond lengths vary according to M-O(pin)
