Lithium intercalation chemistry, microstructure and superconductivity in zirconium and hafnium nitride halides
2000
Abstract Lithium intercalation in β-MNX (M=Zr, Hf; X=Cl, Br) leads to superconducting compounds with critical temperatures between 12 and 24 K. The lithium uptakes after treatment of the host materials with n-butyllithium/hexane solutions are ca. 0.2 atoms per formula for β-ZrNCl and β-ZrNBr, and between 0.07 and 0.67 for β-HfNCl. Electrochemical lithiation experiments agree with the results obtained with chemical methods, as samples with larger capacity on discharge are also those having larger lithium contents after chemical lithiation. Variations exist in the electrochemical profiles of different batches for the three compounds indicating differences in the intercalation reaction pathway…
Determination of zirconium traces in polymers by ICP-IDMS - a powerful and fast method for routine testing of zirconium residues in polyolefins
1999
Zirconium trace analyses play an important role for polyolefins produced by modern catalytic processes with zirconium metallocenes. A reliable and fast routine testing method by inductively coupled plasma isotope dilution mass spectrometry (ICP-IDMS) was therefore developed, which allows the determination of zirconium in polymers down to the low ng/g level. With respect to its precision, accuracy, and time-consumption this method is suitable for routine testing of production processes. A spike solution, enriched in the stable isotope 91Zr, was prepared and used for the isotope dilution procedure, which has the advantage of being an internal “one point” calibration method. The polyolefin sam…
Formation of arynezirconocenes from substituted diaryl bis (t-butylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium: application to the synthesis of new functionalizedort…
1991
The para-substituted diphenylzirconocenes [(t-BuCp)2Zr(p-C6H4R)2; R = Br, NMe2] (A) were easily obtained from the reaction of the appropriate organolithium reagent with bis(t-butylcyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride. Elimination of bromobenzene or N,N-dimethylaminobenzene from A by slight heating led to arynezirconocenes into which were inserted two equivalents of elementary chalcogens. As a result dichalcogenated zirconacycles [(t-BuCp)2ZrY2C6H3R; Y = S, Se] (B) were obtained. Complexes B constitute useful potential synthons in organic synthesis and a large family of new functionalized dichalcogenated benzenic compounds was prepared by reacting electrophiles. The structure of complexes B…
Zirconium and hafnium mono(alkyl) complexes containing a tridentate linked amido-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl ligand. Molecular structure of Hf(η5:η1:…
1998
Abstract Zirconium and hafnium complexes M( η 5 : η 1 : η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe)Cl 2 (M=Zr, Hf) containing the tridentate 2-methoxyethylamido-functionalized tetramethylcyclopentadienyl ligand C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe have been synthesized by the reaction of the dilithium derivative Li 2 [C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe] with MCl 4 (THF) 2 . Selective monoalkylation of the dichloro complexes gave complexes of the type M( η 5 : η 1 : η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe)(R)Cl (R=CH 2 Ph, o -C 6 H 4 CH 2 NMe 2 ). The crystal structure of the hafnium dichloro complex Hf( η 5 : η 1 : η 1 -C 5 Me 4 SiMe 2 NCH 2 CH 2 OMe)Cl 2 has been determined by X-ray crystal diffraction and sho…
Enantioselective Synthesis of Substituted Indoles Through Zirconium(IV)-Catalyzed Friedel–Crafts Alkylation
2012
The chiral complex of ( R )-3,3′-Br 2 -BINOL and zirconium tert -butoxide catalyzes the Friedel–Crafts alkylation of indoles with enones bearing an alkyl or fluorinated group at the β-position to give indoles having a side chain at the C3 position with a tertiary stereogenic center in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities.
Pyrrolide-imine benzyl complexes of zirconium and hafnium: synthesis, structures, and efficient ethylene polymerization catalysis
2004
Abstract A series of pyrrolyl-imines HL1–6 was prepared by the condensation of pyrrole-2-carboxyaldehyde with different amines. The reaction of 2 equiv of pyrrolyl-imine with tetrabenzyl complexes of hafnium and zirconium M(CH2Ph)4 (M=Hf or Zr) gave dibenzyl complexes (L3–6)2M(CH2Ph)2, which were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and crystal structure analysis. NMR spectra of the complexes with secondary alkyl substituents at the imine nitrogen (isopropyl: 3a, 4-tert-butylcyclohexyl: 4a and 4b) suggest that rapid racemization between Δ and Λ configurations occurs in solution on the NMR time scale. The complexes with pyrrolide-imine ligands with a tertiary alkyl group such as tert-butyl (5a …
Synthesis and activity of zirconocene catalysts supported on silica-type sol-gel carrier for ethylene polymerization
2001
Synthesis and activity of bis(cyclopentadienyl)zirconium dichloride catalyst supported on unconventional silica-type material obtained in sol-gel process and activated by organoaluminium co-catalyst were studied. The effect of support modification conditions (thermal dehydration and/or modification by organoaluminium compound) and a type of co-catalyst on an activity of the catalytic system in ethylene polymerization and properties of resulting polymers were investigated and compared with results obtained earlier for vanadium catalysts supported on mentioned sol-gel carrier. The most appropriate method of the sol-gel silica-type support preparation is thermal pre-treating (200°C) followed b…
Synthesis, characterization and catalytic properties for olefin polymerization of two new dimeric zirconium(IV) complexes having diamine-bis(phenolat…
2015
Abstract Reaction of the zirconium tetrachloride with one equivalent of the sodium salt of the diamine bis (phenolate) ligand, L1H2 (Me2NCH2CH2N-(CH2-2-OH-3,5-tBu-C6H2)2) or L2H2 (Me2NCH2CH2N-(CH2-2-OH-3,5-tBu-C6H2)(CH2-2-OH-C6H4)) in the presence of air led to formation of [Lig1ZrCl]2(μ-O) and [Lig2ZrCl]2(μ-O), respectively. These novel oxo-bridged dinuclear zirconium complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR spectroscopy and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their reactivities in polymerization of ethylene and 1-octene, upon activation with Al(iBu)3/Ph3CB(C6F5)4 and MAO, were examined. It was found that lack of t-Bu substituents on one phenolate ring cause a significan…
Enantioselective organocatalytic intramolecular aza-Michael reaction: a concise synthesis of (+)-sedamine., (+)-allosedamine, and (+)-coniine
2007
The intramolecular aza-Michael reaction of carbamates bearing remote alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes under organocatalytic conditions took place with good yields and excellent ee's when Jorgensen catalyst IV was used in the process, giving rise to the enantioselective formation of several five- and six-membered heterocycles. The developed methodology was applied to the synthesis of three piperidine alkaloids.
Quantum Chemistry of Excited States in Polyhedral Boranes
2015
In this Chapter we describe the electronic structure of ground states and excited states of the two isomers of octadecaborane (22), anti- and syn-B18H22, and the new derivative of anti-B18H22, the polyhedral substituted borane 4,4′-(HS)2-anti-B18H20. A theoretical interpretation is given on the fluorescence of the anti-B18H22 isomer, and the non-radiative decay of the syn-B18H22 isomer, an unsolved problem since 1962. For the new derivative of anti-B18H22, substitution of hydrogen atoms in positions 4 and 4′ by SH groups allows the tuning of the photophysical properties in 4,4′-(HS)2-anti-B18H20, facilitating intersystem crossing from the excited singlet state to the triplet state.
