摘要:
The dinuclear nickel(II) complex [Ni2L(Cl)](+) (1), where (L)(2) represents a 24-membered binucleating hexamine-dithiophenolate ligand, reacts readily with primary and secondary amines RR'NH in the presence of CO2 (1 bar) to give dinuclear monoalkyl- and dialkylcarbamate complexes [Ni2L(O2CNRR')](+) (R = H, R' = CH2Ph (2), R = H, R' = n-Bu (3), R = H, R' = n-Oct (4), R = H, R' = CH2CH2OH (5), R = R' = Et (6), and R = R' = CH2CH2OH (7)). Complexes 2-7 can also be prepared by the reaction of 1 with CO2(air)/amine. The carbamate complexes are hydrolyzed in methanolic solution to give the known alkylcarbonate complex [Ni2L(O2COMe)](+) (8). These conversions are less rapid than the transesterification reactions of 8, due to a less electron-demanding carboxyl C(carbamate) atom. All new complexes were either isolated as perchlorate or tetraphenylborate salts and fully characterized by elemental analysis, UV/Vis, and IR spectroscopy. The structures of 2[BPh4] and 7[BPh4] have also been determined by X-ray crystallography. They confirm the presence of mu(1,3)-bridging alkylcarbamate units in the products. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V.
