Synthesis, electrochemistry and reactivity of formato– and acetato–niobocene complexes
摘要:
The complex [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)H-3] 1 reacted with CO2 to give the formato complex [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2){OC(O)H-O,O'}] 2, which can alternatively be prepared from a two-electron reduction of [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)M(4)SiMe(3))(2)Cl-2] 3 in the presence of formic acid. the reaction of 2 with different pi-acids or heterocumulene molecules resulted in opening of the bidentate formate ligand giving rise to the monodentate formato-containing complexes [Nb(eta 5-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2){OC(O)H-O}L], L = CS2 4, CO 5 or 2,6-Me(2)C(6)H(3)NC 6. On the other hand; [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2){OC(O)Me-O,O'}] 8 was prepared from either the reaction of [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)Cl] 7 with 1 equivalent of TI(O(2)CMe) or from a two-electron reduction of 3 in the presence of acetic acid. The complex [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)(MeCOCHCOMe-O,O')] 9 can also be isolated from the reaction of 7 with 1 equivalent of Tl(acac) (acac = acetylacetonate). Complex 8 reacted with oxygen to give [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)O{OC(O)Me-O}] 10, and with pi-acids or heterocumulenes to give products with a monodentate OC(O)Me ligand, namely [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2){OC(O)Me-O}L], L = CS2 11, SCNPh 12, PhNCCPhEt 13, MeO(2)CC=CCO(2)Me 14, Bu(t)NC 15 or CO 16. The structures of all complexes have been established by spectroscopic methods.

The addition of the CO32- dianion to the electrogenerated species Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(5)RR')(2)Cl (2: R = H, R' = SiMe(3); 2': R = R' = SiMe(3)) gives in ca. 50% yields the anionic carbonate niobium(III) complex [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(3)RR')(2)(O (C) over bar(O)O-O,O')](-) (3: R = H, R' = SiMe(3); 3': R = R' = SiMe(3)) which are oxidized electrochemically to the corresponding paramagnetic niobium(IV) complex [Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(3)RR')(2)(OC(O)O-O,O')] (5: R = H, R' = SiMe(3); 5': R = R' = SiMe(3)). These paramagnetic derivatives have been characterized by ESR and IR spectroscopy. Mechanistic aspects concerning the formation of 3 and 3' are discussed. 3 can also be obtained from two-electron reduction of Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)(O)Cl, 4, in the presence of carbon dioxide. The addition of the formate anion HCO2- to 3 gives the formato complex Nb(eta(5)-C(5)H(4)SiMe(3))(2)(OC(O)H-O,O') 6.
