| Abstract: | A series of metal compounds (M = Al, Ti, W, and Zn) containing pyrrole‐imine ligands have been prepared and structurally characterized. The reactions of AlMe3 with one and three equivs of pyrrole‐imine ligand [C4H3NH‐(2‐CH=N? CH2Ph)] ( 1 ) generated aluminum compounds Al[C4H3N‐(2‐CH=N? CH2Ph)]Me2 ( 2 ) and Al[C4H3N‐(2‐CH=NCH2Ph)]3 ( 3 ), respectively, in relatively high yield. Reacting two equivs of 1 with Ti(OiPr)4, W(NHtBu)2(=NtBu)2, or ZnMe2 afforded Ti[C4H3N‐(2‐CH=NCH2Ph)]2(OiPr)2 ( 4 ), W[C4H3N‐(2‐CH=NCH2Ph)]2(=NtBu)2 ( 5 ), and Zn[C4H3N‐(2‐CH=NCH2Ph)]2 ( 6 ), respectively. All the compounds have been characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 3 – 6 have also been characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis. The biting angles of pyrrole‐imine ligand with metals decrease and their related M? Npyrrole and M? Nimine bond lengths increase in the order of 6 , 3 , 4 , and 5 . |
