Zirconium & Hafnium: Organometallic ChemistryBased in part on the article Zirconium & Hafnium: Organometallic Chemistry by Bernard Gautheron,…
2006
This review considers the main aspects of organometallic chemistry of zirconium and hafnium during the last 10 years. It is complementary to the first edition of Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry. The material is presented in two major parts divided in five and three sections respectively. The first part is devoted to syntheses: the first section, by far the largest, covers in a systematic manner bis and mono cyclopentadienyl complexes with +4, +3, and +2 oxidation states and more especially constrained-geometry (CG) complexes, cationic complexes, and anionic or zwitterionic 18-electron complexes; unusual coordination geometries at carbon stabilized by group 4 metallocenes are presented i…
Titanium and zirconium complexes containing the new 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenylcyclopentadienyl ligand. Synthesis, characterization and polymerization …
2004
Abstract An easy and inexpensive three-step synthesis of new 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenylcyclopentadiene (3) ligand and the titanium and zirconium homometallocene dichlorides [TiCl2(η5-C5H-2,3-Me2-1,4-Ph2)2] (4), [ZrCl2(η5-C5H-2,3-Me2-1,4-Ph2)2] (5), and the mixed ligand zirconium complex [ZrCl2(η5-C5H-2,3-Me2-1,4-Ph2)(η5-C5H5)] (6) prepared thereof are described. The polymerization of ethene using 4–6/MAO catalysts revealed that zirconocene complexes 5 and 6 displayed moderate and high activity, respectively, whereas the titanium catalyst 4/MAO was inactive. The crystal structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystallography.
Complexes of titanium and zirconium containing a tridentate linked amido–cyclopentadienyl ligand with a soft donor group: synthesis, structure, and e…
1999
Abstract Group 4 metal complexes M(η5:η1-C5R4SiMe2NCH2CH2SMe)Cl2 (R=H, M=Ti; R=Me, M=Ti, Zr) containing the thioether-functionalized linked amido–cyclopentadienyl ligand were synthesized and characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of the complexes Ti(η5:η1-C5H4SiMe2NCH2CH2SMe)Cl2 and Zr(η5:η1:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2CH2SMe)Cl2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The titanium complex is a conventional three-legged piano-stool molecule without an intramolecular interaction between the sulfur donor group and the titanium center, whereas the zirconium complex adopts a trigonal bipyramidal structure, with …
Ethylene polymerization with FI complexes having novel phenoxy-imine ligands: Effect of metal type and complex immobilization
2011
A series of bis(phenoxy-imine) vanadium and zirconium complexes with different types of R3 substituents at the nitrogen atom, where R3 = phenyl, naphthyl, or anthryl, was synthesized and investigated in ethylene polymerization. Moreover, the catalytic performance was verified for three supported catalysts, which had been obtained by immobilization of bis[N-(salicylidene)-1-naphthylaminato]M(IV) dichloride complexes (M = V, Zr, or Ti) on the magnesium carrier MgCl2(THF)2/Et2AlCl. Catalytic performance of both supported and homogeneous catalysts was verified in conjunction with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or with alkylaluminium compounds (EtnAlCl3−n, n = 1–3). The activity of FI vanadium and zirc…
Zirconium and hafnium complexes of the thio(bisphenolato) ligand: synthesis, structural characterization and testing as 1-hexenepolymerizationcatalys…
2009
Thio(bisphenolato) complexes of the type [M2(mu-tbop-kappa3O,S,O)2Cl4] [M = Zr 1, Hf 2 and tbop = 2,2-thiobis{4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-butyl)phenolate}] were prepared by HCl elimination from tbopH2 and MCl4. Substitution of the chlorides in 1 and 2 by 2,6-diisopropylphenolato groups (dipp) generates new compounds [M2(mu-tbop-kappa3O,S,O)2(dipp)4] (M = Zr 3, Hf 4). The structures of 1-4 were confirmed by NMR spectroscopy; complexes 3 and 4 were further investigated by X-ray crystallography. These studies showed 1-4 to be dimers either in the solid state or in solution and to have metal centers adopting distorted octahedral geometry. However treatment of MCl4 with [Al2(mu-OEt)2(tbop-kappa3O,S,O…
Multicatalytic Transformation of (Meth)acrylic Acids: a One-Pot Approach to Biobased Poly(meth)acrylates
2021
International audience; Shifting from petrochemical feedstocks to renewable resources can address some of the environmental issues associated with petrochemical extraction and make plastics production sustainable. Therefore, there is a growing interest in selective methods for transforming abundant renewable feedstocks into monomers suitable for polymer production. Reported herein are one-pot catalytic systems, that are active,<br>productive, and selective under mild conditions for the synthesis of copolymers from renewable materials. Each system allows for anhydride formation, alcohol acylation and/or acid esterification, as well as polymerization of the formed (meth)- acrylates, providi…
Gelled Electrolyte Containing Phosphonium Ionic Liquids for Lithium-Ion Batteries
2018
In this work, new gelled electrolytes were prepared based on a mixture containing phosphonium ionic liquid (IL) composed of trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium cation combined with bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide [TFSI] counter anions and lithium salt, confined in a host network made from an epoxy prepolymer and amine hardener. We have demonstrated that the addition of electrolyte plays a key role on the kinetics of polymerization but also on the final properties of epoxy networks, especially thermal, thermo-mechanical, transport, and electrochemical properties. Thus, polymer electrolytes with excellent thermal stability (>
Identification of hexanuclear Actinide(IV) carboxylates with Thorium, Uranium and Neptunium by EXAFS spectroscopy
2012
International audience; Hydrated actinide(IV) ions undergo hydrolysis and further polymerization and precipitation with increasing pH. The resulting amorphous and partly crystalline oxydydroxides AnO(n)(OH)(4-2n)center dot xH(2)O can usually be observed as colloids above the An(IV) solubility limit. The aging process of such colloids results in crystalline AnO(2). The presence of carboxylates in the solution prevents the occurrence of such colloids by formation of polynuclear complexes through a competing reaction between hydrolysis and ligation. The majority of recently described carboxylates reveals a hexanuclear core of [An(6)(mu(3)-O)(4)(mu(3)-OH)(4)](12+) terminated by 12 carboxylate l…
Magnetic Control over the Fractal Dimension of Supramolecular Rod Networks
2021
<p>Controlling supramolecular polymerization is of fundamental importance to create advanced materials and devices. Here we show that the thermodynamic equilibrium of Gd<sup>3+</sup>-bearing supramolecular rod networks is shifted reversibly at room temperature in a static magnetic field of up to 2 T. Our approach opens opportunities to control the structure formation of other supramolecular or coordination polymers that contain paramagnetic ions.</p>
