Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Constrained-Geometry Organolanthanide Chlorides and Alkyls Incorporating the Ligand [η5:σ-(C9H6)C2B10H10]2−
摘要:
Interaction of 1-indenyl-1,2-carborane (1) with 2 equiv of KH in refluxing THF gave the dipotassium salt [K-2][(C9H6)C2B10H10]. Treatment of [K-2][(C9H6)C2B10H10] with 1 equiv of LnCl(3) in THF generated the ionic complex [K(THF)(6)][{eta(5):sigma-(C9H6)C2B10H10}(2)La(THF)] (2) for early lanthanide or organolanthanide chloride complexes [{eta(5):sigma-(C9H6)C2B10H10}Ln(THF)(2)(mu-Cl)(2)K(THF)(2)](2) (Ln = Y (3a), Gd (3b), Er (3c), Yb (3d)) for late lanthanides. Reaction of 3 with nucleophile NaCp or KCH2C6H4-o-NMe2 afforded the corresponding salt metathesis products [eta 5:sigma-(C9H6)C2B10H10]Ln(eta(5)-C5H5)(THF)(2) (Ln = Y (4a), Gd (4b)) or [eta(5):sigma-(C9H6)C2B10H10]Ln(CH2C6H4-o-NMe2)(DME) (Ln = Y (5a), Er (5c)), respectively. Complexes 5 were also synthesized via the alkane elimination reaction of 1-indenyl-1,2-carborane with Ln(CH2C6H4-o-NMe2)(3). They represent the first examples of organolanthanide alkyl complexes incorporating a carboranyl ligand. These complexes were fully characterized by various spectroscopic techniques and elemental analyses. Some were further confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analyses.
