fac versus mer Coordination for a Tridentate Diethylene Glyclolate Ligand in Tantalum Complexes: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study
摘要:
A series of new tantalum-digol (digol = diethylene glycolate) complexes TaCp* Cl-2(kappa(3)- digol) (1), TaCp* Me-2(kappa(3)-digol) (2), TaCp* ClMe(kappa(3)-digol) ( 3), and TaCp* Me(OTf)(kappa(3)-digol) (OTf = triflate) (4) have been synthesized. Treatment of 2 with 1 equiv of H2O center dot B(C6F5)(3) enabled the synthesis of a tantalumoxo borane-stabilized complex, TaCp* {O, B(C6F5)(3)}(kappa(3)-digol) (5). Insertion processes into the methyl groups of complexes 2, 3, and 4 were not observed upon reaction with CO or isocyanides. In contrast, complex 4 reacted slowly with 1 equiv of xylylisocyanide (xylyl = 2,6- dimethylphenyl) to yield the dicationic aminocarbene complex [TaCp* {C(Me) NH(xylyl)}(OH2)(kappa(3)-digol)][OTf](2) ( 6). All products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The single-crystal structures of 1, 5, and 6 were determined. The molecular structures of 1, 2, 3, and 6 were also determined by means of DFT-based methods.
