Synthesis, characterization and butadiene polymerization studies of cobalt(II) complexes bearing bisiminopyridine ligand

A series of 2,6-bis(imino)pyridyl Co(II) complexes of the general formulas [2,6-(ArNCMe)₂C₅H₃N]CoCl₂ (Ar = -C₆H₅, 3a; 2-MeC₆H₄, 3b; 2-EtC₆H₄, 3c; 2-ⁱPrC₆H₄, 3d; 2,6-ⁱPr₂C₆H₃, 3e; 4-ⁱPrC₆H₄, 3f; 4-FC₆H₄, 3g; 4-CF₃C₆H₄, 3h; 2-FC₆H₄, 3i; 2,6-F₂C₆H₃, 3j; 2-Me-4-FC₆H₃, 3k and 2,6-Me₂-4-FC₆H₂, 3l) and [2,6-(ArNCH)₂C₅H₃N]CoCl₂ (Ar = -C₆H₅, 3m; 2-EtC₆H₄, 3n and 4-ⁱPrC₆H₄, 3o) have been synthesized and characterized. The structures of new complexes 3a, 3f-3h and 3m-3o are further confirmed by X-ray crystallography. All complexes adopt distorted trigonal bipyramidal configuration with the equatorial plane formed by the pyridyl nitrogen atoms and the two chlorine atoms. In the complexes 3m and 3o, three aromatic rings are essentially coplanar, which is in sharp contrast to the other complexes, where three rings are almost orthogonal to each other. With methylaluminoxane (MAO) as cocatalyst in toluene at room temperature, the complexes show moderate to high conversion (42-99%) in butadiene polymerization, producing polybutadiene with tunable cis-1,4 structure (77.5-97%) and controllable molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. The catalytic activity, selectivity as well as the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the resultant polymer are found to be dependent on the size and nature of substituents on iminoaryl rings and their positions located. By deliberately tuning the ligand structure, more efficient catalyst in terms of high activity and high selectivity can be obtained.

Fe(II) and Co(II) pyridinebisimine complexes bearing different substituents on ortho- and para-position of imines: synthesis, characterization and behavior of ethylene polymerization

A series of 2,6-bis(imino)pyridyl iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes [2,6-(ArNCMe)₂C₅H₃N]MCl₂ (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr₂C₆H₃, M = Fe: 3a, M = Co: 4a; Ar = 2,4,6-i-Pr₃C₆H₂, M = Fe: 3b, M = Co: 4b; Ar = 2,6-i-Pr₂-4-BrC₆H₂, M = Fe: 3c, M = Co: 4c; Ar = 2,4-i-Pr₂-6-BrC₆H₂, M = Fe: 3d, M = Co: 4d) has been synthesized, characterized, and investigated as precatalysts for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO).

Study of complexes of platinum group metals containing nitrogen bases derived from pyridine aldehydes: Interesting molecular structures with unpredicted bonding modes of the ligands

A series of mono-cationic dinuclear half sandwich ruthenium, rhodium and iridium metal complexes have been synthesized using ((pyridin-2-yl)methylimino)nicotinamide (L1) and ((picolinamido)phenyl)picolinamide (L2) ligands: [(η⁶-arene)₂Ru₂(μ-L1)Cl₃]⁺ (arene = C₆H₆, 1; p-ⁱPrC₆H₄Me, 2; C₆Me₆, 3), [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂M₂(μ-L1)Cl₃]⁺ (M = Rh, 4; Ir, 5), and [(η⁶-arene)₂Ru₂(μ-L2)(μ-Cl)]⁺ (arene = C₆H₆, 6; p-ⁱPrC₆H₄Me, 7; C₆Me₆, 8), [(η⁵-C₅Me₅)₂M₂(μ-L2)Cl₂]⁺ (M = Rh, 9; Ir, 10). All the complexes have been isolated as their hexafluorophosphate salts and fully characterized by use of a combination of NMR and IR spectroscopy. The solid state structure of three representatives 4, 6 and 9 has been determined by X-ray crystallographic studies. Interestingly, in the molecular structure of 4, the first metal is bonded to two nitrogen atoms whereas the second metal center is coordinated to only one nitrogen atom with two terminal chloride ligands. Fascinatingly in the case of the complexes with the symmetrical ligand L2, both ruthenium centers having η⁶-arene groups are bonded to nitrogen atoms with a bridging chloride atom between the two metal centers, whereas the metals with η⁵-Cp∗ groups are bonded to the ligand N,O and N,N fashion.     

Synthesis and thermal behavior of dimethyl scandium complexes featuring anilido-phosphinimine ancillary ligands

A family of N,N donor ligands [1-(NHAr)-2-(PR₂NAr′)C₆H₄] (1a-d; Ar = 2,6-ⁱPr₂-C₆H₃, R = Me, Ph, Ar′ = 2,4,6-Me₃-C₆H₂, 2-ⁱPr-C₆H₄, 2,6-ⁱPr₂-C₆H₃) has been prepared and fully characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. Lithiation of the N-H unit and subsequent salt metathesis protocols with ScCl₃THF₃ provides an avenue to organometallic scandium complexes. The resultant base-free monomeric dichlorides LScCl₂, 3a-d, have been fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy as well as X-ray crystallography (3a,c,d). Alkylation of the dichlorides using LiMe results in clean formation of dialkyl complexes LScMe₂4a-c. Thermolysis of these materials under argon and hydrogen leads to decomposition products as a result of C-H activation of the ligand. Analysis of these results provides a qualitative assessment of the metalative resistance of each ligand framework.     

Synthesis, characterization, and norbornene polymerization of η-benzylnickel(II) complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes

Neutral η¹-benzylnickel carbene complexes, [Ni(η¹-CH₂C₆H₅)(IiPr)(PMe₃)(Cl)] (3) (IiPr = 1,3-bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene) and [Ni(η¹-CH₂C₆H₅)(SIiPr)(PMe₃)(Cl)] (4) (SIiPr = 1,3-bis-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene), were prepared by the reaction between [Ni(η³-CH₂C₆H₅)(PMe₃)(Cl)] and an equivalent amount of the corresponding free N-heterocyclic carbene. The preparation of η³-benzylnickel carbene complexes, [Ni(η³-CH₂C₆H₅)(IiPr)(Cl)] (5) and [Ni(η³-CH₂C₆H₅)(SIiPr)(Cl)] (6) were carried out by the abstraction of PMe₃ from 3 and 4 by the treatment of B(C₆F₅)₃. The treatment of AgX on 5 and 6 produced the anion-exchanged complexes, [Ni(η³-CH₂C₆H₅)(NHC)(X)] (7, NHC = IiPr, X = O₂CCF₃; 8, NHC = IiPr, X = O₃SCF₃; 9, NHC = SIiPr, X = O₂CCF₃; 10, NHC = SIiPr, X = O₃SCF₃). The solid state structures of 3 and 10 were determined by X-ray crystallography. The η³-benzyl complexes of IiPr (5, 7, and 8) alone, in the absence of any activators such as borate and MAO, showed good catalytic activity towards the vinyl-type norbornene polymerization. The catalyst was thermally robust and the activity increases as the temperature rises to 130 °C.     

Cationic olefin Pd(II) complexes bearing α-iminoketone N,O-ligands: synthesis, intramolecular and interionic characterization and reactivity with olefins and alkynes

Complexes [Pd(η¹, η²-5-OMe-C₈H₁₂)(N,O)]BF₄ (N,O=2,6-(i-Pr)₂(C₆H₃)NC(Ph)-C(Ph)O, 1; 2,6-(i-Pr)₂(C₆H₃)NC(Me)-C(Ph)O, 2; 2-benzoylpyridine, 3) were synthesized by the reactions of [Pd(η¹,η²-5-OMe-C₈H₁₂)Cl]₂ with the suitable N,O-ligand. They were tested as catalysts for olefin or alkyne polymerizations. During such reactions 1-3 quantitatively transformed into their η¹,η²-1-OMe-C₈H₁₂ isomers (1a-3a). The same isomerization occurred in methylene chloride, even in the absence of olefins or alkynes, with a much slower rate. All complexes were fully characterized in solution by multinuclear and multidimensional low temperature NMR spectroscopy. The solid state structures of complexes 1 and 1a were investigated by X-ray single crystal studies. ¹⁹F, ¹H-HOESY NMR experiments carried out in methylene chloride-d₂ at 217 K indicated that the anion prefers to locate on the side of N,O-ligand shifted toward the O-arm in 1-1a and 2-2a while it approaches the N-arm in 3 and 3a compounds.
