Reaction of diamine-bis(phenol) ligands containing a mixture of N-methyl and N,N'-dimethyl-N,N-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)ethylenediamine, H(2)L(1) and H(2)L(3), with [Ti(OCHMe(2))(4) in absolute ethanol under reflux without exclusion of air and moisture gives [(L(1))Ti (OEt-O-Ti(OEt)(L(1))] (1). [(L(3))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(3))] (2) forms when the remaining solution containing [(L(3))Ti(OEt)(2)] (3) (characterised by X-ray crystallography) is hydrolysed with H(2)O. For the N-methyl and N,N'-dimethyl ligand mixture H(2)L(2) and H(2)L(4), which contain tert-butyl groups on the ortho-positions of the aryl rings, [(L(2))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(2))] (4) forms much more slowly and [(L(4))Ti(OEt)(2)] (5) does not hydrolyse when H(2)O is added. When the N-protonated ligand N,N-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-tert-butylbenzyl)ethylenediamine, H(2)L(5), and H(2)L(4), which contain tert-butyl groups on the ortho-positions of the aryl rings, [(L(2))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(2))] (4) forms much more slowly and [(L(4))Ti(OEt)(2)] (5) does not hydrolyse when H(2)O is added. When the N-protonated ligand N,N-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-tert-butylbenzyl)ethylenediamine, H(2)L(5), is used, rapid hydrolysis to two isomers of [(L(5))Ti(OEt-O-Ti(OEt)(L(5))] (6) occurs without addition of water. For N,N-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)ethylenediamine, H(2)L(6), hydrolysis to [(L(6))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(6))] (7) occurs slowly when H(2)O is added. For pendant NMe(2) ligand N,N-dimethyl-N',N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methyl-S-tert-butylbenzyl)ethylenediamine, H(2)L(7), the hydrolysis reaction readily gives [(L(7))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(7))] (8) for which an X-ray crystal structure was obtained. The ortho-tert-butyl ligand derivative H(2)L(8) formed a complex analysing as [(L(8))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(8))) (9) which could not be studied further due to insolubility. Pendant pyridine ligand N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N,N-bis(2'-hydroxy-3'-methyl-T-tert-butylbenzyl)amine, H(2)L(9), apparently forms isomers of [(L(9))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(9))] and possibly [(L(9))Ti(O)(2)] from [(L(9))Ti(OEt)(2)] (10). The ortho-tert-butyl ligand derivative H(2)L(10) formed [(L(10))Ti(OEt)-O-Ti(OEt)(L(10))] (11) for which an X-ray crystal structure was obtained. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
