C,N-chelated dicyclopentadienylzirconium complexes and their possible use as hydrogenation catalysts

Abstract In situ generated Cp2Zr(n-Bu)Cl (6) reacts with {2-[(CH3)2NCH2]C6H4}2Pb to form exclusively {2-[(CH3)2NCH2]C6H4}Cp2ZrCl (7), [(CH3)2NCH2]C6H5, butene and elemental lead. The further derivatization of chloride (7) to fluoride (8), hydride (9), methyl derivative (10), and a reduction of 7 are also described. The crystal structures of 7–10 were determined. The catalytic activity of 9 and 10 in hydrogenation of styrene was also preliminarily tested.

Structure, properties and comparison of C,N-chelated and amido-stabilized plumbylenes

The molecular structure of {2-[(CH3)2NCH2]C6H4}2Pb (1) in the solid state was determined by X-ray diffraction techniques on a single crystalline material. Bulky amido ligand stabilized complexes [(i-C3H7)2C6H3]NHLi (2) and [(i-C3H7)2C6H3N(Me3Si)]2Pb (3) were synthesized and characterized both in the solid state and solution by 1H, 13C, 15N and 207Pb NMR and XRD techniques. The structure of both C,N-chelated and bulky amido plumbylenes is compared.

Reactivity of di-n-butyl-dicyclopentadienylzirconium towards amido stabilized stannylenes

Abstract Reaction of Sn[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )] 2 and [{Sn(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )(μ-Cl) 2 ] with di- n -butyl-dicyclopentadienylzirconium yielded the trimetallic a carbene-like complex {[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )]( n -Bu)Sn} 2 Cp 2 Zr. The oxidation of {[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )]( n -Bu)Sn} 2 Cp 2 Zr by oxygen gives the five-membered dioxadistannazirconacyclic complex {[(N(C 6 H 3 i Pr 2 -2,6)(SiMe 3 )]( n -Bu)Sn} 2 O 2 Cp 2 Zr.

Self-assembled hydrogen-bonded coordination networks in two copper(II) carboxylates with 4-pyridylmethanol

AbstractThe crystal and molecular structure of [Cu(nif)2(4-PM)2]·CH3OH (1) and [Cu(2-Clbz)2(4-PM)2(H2O)] (2), (where nif = niflumate anion, 2-Clbz = 2-chlorobenzoate anion and 4-PM is the 4-pyridylmethanol), have been determinated by X-ray crystallography. The Cu2+ cation in (1), is coordinated by two pairs of oxygen atoms from asymmetric bidentate niflumate anions and by a pair of pyridine nitrogen atoms from monodentate 4-pyridylmethanol ligands in trans position forming an extremely elongated bipyramid. The Cu2+ cation in (2), is coordinated by a pair of oxygen atoms from monodentate 2-chlorobenzoate anions, further by a pair of pyridine nitrogen atoms from monodentate 4-pyridylmethanol …

C,N-chelated organotin(IV) trifluoroacetates. Instability of the mono- and diorganotin(IV) derivatives.

Abstract The C,N-chelated tri-, di- and monoorganotin(IV) halides react with equimolar amounts of CF3COOAg to give corresponding C,N-chelated organotin(IV) trifluoroacetates. The set of prepared tri-, di- and monoorganotin(IV) trifluoroacetates bearing the LCN ligand (where LCN is 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-) was structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses, multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopy. In the case of triorganotin(IV) trifluoroacetates and (LCN)2Sn(OC(O)CF3)2, no tendency to form hydrolytic products, or instability towards the moisture was observed. LCNRSn(OC(O)CF3)2 (where R is n-Bu or Ph) and LCNSn(OC(O)CF3)3 forms upon crystallization from THF in the air mainl…

C,N-chelated organotin(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonates: Synthesis, characterization and preliminary studies of its catalytic activity in the direct synthesis of dimethyl carbonate from methanol and CO2

Abstract C,N-chelated tri- and diorganotin(IV) halides react with 1 or 2 mol equiv of silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate, AgOTf, OTf = OSO2CF3−) to give corresponding C,N-chelated organotin(IV) triflates. The triorganotin(IV) triflates of general formula LCNR2SnOTf (R = n-Bu (1), Ph (2)) are presumably more stable towards hydrolysis than the diorganotin(IV) triflates LCNRSn(OTf)2 (R = n-Bu (3), Ph (4)). All prepared organotin(IV) triflates bearing the LCN ligand (where LCN is 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-) were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. In addition, the structure of 3 was determined by the X-ray diffraction analysis. The catalytic ac…
