Synthesis, structural studies and reactivity of vanadium complexes with tridentate (OSO) ligand
The direct reaction between [VCl(3)(thf)3] or [VO(OEt)3] and 2,2'-thiobis{4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-butyl)phenol (tbopH(2)) leads to the formation of [V(2)(micro-tbop-kappa(3)O,S,O)2Cl(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)] (1).4CH(3)CN or [V(2)(micro-OEt)2(O)2(tbop-kappa(3)O,S,O)2] (2), respectively, in high yield. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by chemical and physical techniques including X-ray crystallography and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility studies (J = -29.1 cm(-1)) for 1. Complexes 1 and 2 were supported on MgCl2 and when activated with aluminium alkyls, were found to effectively polymerize ethene to produce polyethylene with a narrow molecular weight distribution M(w)/M(n) approximately…
Titanium Complexes of Chelating, Dianionic O,S,O‐Bisphenolato Ligands: Syntheses, Characterisation, and Catalytic Activity
Titanium complexes based on 2,2'-thiobis[4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)phenolato] (tbop) are prepared by reaction of TiCl 4 or Ti(NMe 2 ) 4 with the parent biphenol. Three new complexes are reported: [Ti 2 (μ-tbop-κ 3 O,S,O)(μ-tbop-κ 2 O,O)-(tbop-κ 3 O,S,O)Cl 2 ] (1).2CH 3 CN, [Ti 2 (μ-tbop-κ 3 O,S,O) 2 Cl 4 ] (2) and [Ti(tbop-κ 3 O,S,O) 2 ] (3). Substitution of the chlorides in 1 and 2 by 2,6-diisopropylphenolato and imido (NtBu) ligands generates the new compounds [Ti 2 (μ-tbop-κ 3 O,S,O) 2 -Cl 2 (dipp) 2 ] (4).Et 2 O and [Ti 2 (μ-tbop-κ 3 O,S,O) 2 (NtBu) 2 -(NH 2 tBu) 2 ] (5), respectively. Treatment of 5 with crude Me 3 -SiCl, containing Me 3 SiOH, produces [Ti(tbop-κ 3 O,S,O)Cl(O-SiMe 3 …
