The first thermally stable half-sandwich titanium zwitterionic complex
摘要:
Thermally stable zwitterionic complex [(eta(5)-C5Me5)Ti(Ot-Bu)(2)]((delta+))[(mu-Me)B(C6F5)(3)]((delta-)) (5) was formed by mixing equimolar quantities of [(eta(5)-C5Me5)TiMe(Ot-Bu)(2)] and [B(C6F5)(3)]. The compound was recrystallized from hot toluene and has been stable so far for 1 year at ambient temperature in the solid state and in toluene solution. The H-1, F-19 and 1D NOESY NMR spectra in C6D6 solution proved the inner sphere ion pair structure of 5. The X-ray crystal structure of 5 revealed that the bridging methyl group is sigma-bonded to boron, and all its C-H bonds fulfil criteria for agostic bonding interaction with the titanium atom. In contrast to the stable solution in C6D6 compound 5 decomposed in CD2Cl2 solvent within hours at room temperature. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
