Synthesis of some cyano-, amino- and carboxyborane adducts of amines and diamines

The amine- and diamine-cyanoboranes, amine·nBH₂CN (n = 1, amine = O(CH₂CH₂)₂NMe and Me₂NCH₂CH₂CN; n = 2, amine = Me₂NCH₂CH₂NMe₂ and H₂NCH₂CH₂NH₂) were prepared from the amine hydrochlorides and NaBH₃CN. New amine- and diamine-carboxyboranes, amine·nBH₂COOH(n = 1, amine = C₅H₅N and O(CH₂CH₂)₂NMe; n = 2, amine = Me₂NCH₂CH₂NMe₂) were prepared by alkylation of the corresponding amine-cyanoborane with Et₃OBF₄ to the N-ethylnitrilium salts and subsequent reaction with water. In one case hydrolysis with NaOH resulted in the bis (N-ethylamidoborane), (Me₂NCH₂CH₂NMe₂)·2BH₂C(O)NHEt. Preliminary results of studies of antitumor, and hypocholesterolemic activity in mice of several of these compounds are reported.     

超声波技术制备功能化二氧化硅在苯酚和碳酸二甲酯甲基化反应中的应用

Porous silica modified with -（CH2）3NH2 （primary amine）, -（CH2）3NHCH2CH2NH2 （secondary/primary amine） and -（CH2）3N-cycl-（CH2）4 （tertiary amine） were synthesized by ultrasonic technique under mild conditions. The samples were characterized by BET, elemental analysis and TG, showing that the organosilane moieties were grafted onto the surface of porous silica by covalent bond. The structure of the organosilane moieties and ultrasonic treatment time were all significant for the quantities of grafted amino groups. The samples exhibited promising catalytic properties towards the methylation reaction of phenol with dimethyl carbonate （DMC）. The methylation reaction with the modified samples featured high selectivity at high conversion. The samples were subjected to utilization for a few recycles without obvious loss of activity to indicate that ultrasonic technique was effective for the preparation of organically modified porous silica catalysts.     

Bis­[bis­(diethyl­enetri­amine)­zinc(II)] hexa­cyano­ferrate tetrahydrate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₄H₁₃N₃)₂]₂[Fe(CN)₆]·4H₂O, the asymmetric unit is formed by a [Zn(dien)₂]²⁺ cation (dien = diethyl­enetri­amine, NH₂CH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NH₂), water mol­ecules and half of the [Fe(CN)₆]^4? anion which is related by inversion symmetry through the Fe atom. The geometry around the Zn and Fe atoms is distorted octahedral and octahedral, respectively. Intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecules, and intermolecular O—H?N hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecules and the anions, result in an infinite chain. Intramolecular O—H?O and N—H?N, and intermolecular O—H?N, N—H?O and N—H?N hydrogen bonds form a three‐dimensional framework.     

Copper(II) complexes of asymmetrical and symmetrical acyclic pentadentate (N5) mono-Schiff-base ligands. The X-ray structure of [Cu(ppe-py)](ClO4)2

In the presence of copper(II) ion, two asymmetrical tripodal tetraamine ligands N{(CH₂)₃NH₂}{(CH₂)₂NH₂}₂ (pee), N{(CH₂)₃NH₂}₂{(CH₂)₂NH₂} (ppe) and one symmetrical ligand, N{(CH₂)₃NH₂}₃ (tpt), were condensed with 2-acetylpyridine. In EtOH–H₂O solutions the reaction stops after the first condensation stage, and complexes of acyclic pentadentate(N₅) mono-Schiff-base ligands were obtained. With asymmetrical tetraamines there are two possible condensation sites: the primary amine of the propylene, or the ethylene chain. The X-ray structure analysis of one complex, [Cu(ppe-py)](ClO₄)₂, indicates that condensation with 2-acetylpyridine in this case occurs at the propylene chain and the geometry around the copper ion is trigonal-bipyramidal.     

Kinetics of hydrolysis of amino acid esters in presence of aquocomplexes involving ethylenediamine,diethylenetriamine and triethylenetetramine ligands. Part 1-copper(II) and nickel(II)

Summary Aquocomplexes of copper(II) and nickel(II) involving (H₂NCH₂)₂, H₂NCH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NH₂ and H₂NCH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NH₂ as ligands were prepared and characterised. Using a pH-stat method, the kinetics of the base hydrolysis of amino acid esters such as H₂NCH₂CO₂CH₃·HCl (GE), (HO)C₆H₄CH₂-(NH₂)CO₂CH₃·HCl (TE), CH₃S(CH₂)₂CH(NH₂)CO₂CH₃· HCl (ME), HSCH₂CH(NH₂)CO₂C₂H₅·HCl (CE), (HE) and [—SCH₂CH(NH₂)CO₂CH₃]₂·2HCl (CysE) was studied. These complexes substantially enhance the rate of hydrolysis, the values of the second-order rate constants being some 10–30 times greater than those obtained in the presence of simple metal ions.     

Competitive reactions of coordinated carbon monoxide and methyl isocyanide with amines

The relative reactivities of CO and CNR ligands with CH₃NH₂ were investigated in complexes which contained both ligands. Like (C₅H₅Fe(CO)₃⁺; the (C₅H₅)Fe(CO)₂(CNCH₃)⁺ complex reacts with CH₃NH₂ to give the carbamoyl complex (C₅)Fe(CO)(CNCH₃)(CONHCH₃); this is a readily reversible reaction. In contrast, (C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(CNCH₃)₂⁺ reacts with CH₃NH₂ to give the amidinium or carbene complex, (C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(CNCH₃)[C(NHCH₃)₂]⁺]. In a slow reaction, (C₅H₅)Fe(PPh₃)(CO)(CNCH₃)⁺ forms the amidinium complex, (C₅H₅)Fe(PPh₃)(CO)[C(NHCH₃)₂]⁺. Factors that affect the site of CH₃NH₂ reaction are discussed. The complexes have been characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy; a variable temperature NMR study of (C₅H₅)Fe(CO)(CNCH₃)[C(NHCH₃)₂]⁺ indicates restricted rotation around the CN bonds of the amidinium ligand.     

Synthesis of Selectively Substituted Lipocyclopolyamines

A general synthetic strategy for the preparation of polyazamacrocycles containing long aliphatic chains is reported. These compounds are 22- or 24-membered hexaazamacrocycles incorporating two diethylenetriamine subunits (H₂NCH₂CH₂NHCH₂CH₂NH₂) linked together either by two CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂ (see 4–6 ), two tetramethylene (see 7 ), or two pentamethylene (see 8 ) fragments. Whereas for compound 4 , one of the centrally located amine functionalities of the triamine subunit bears a hexadecyl chain, for compound 5 , two of such chains are centrally attached to both subunits. In macrocycles 6–8 , all six amino functionalities bear hexadecyl chains. Compounds 4–8 are potential candidates for the construction of selective chemical sensors such as specific electrodes for adenosine mono-, di-, and tri-phosphate. They may also be used for nucleoside polyphosphates extraction and/or transport.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Intramolecularly Nitrogen‐stabilized Organoaluminium‐ and Organogallium Alkoxides The intramolecularly nitrogen stabilized organoaluminium alkoxides [Me₂Al{μ‐O(CH₂)₃NMe₂}]₂ ( 1a ), Me₂AlOC₆H₂(CH₂NMe₂)₃‐2,4,6 ( 2a ), [(S)‐Me₂Al{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)NH‐i‐Pr}]₂ ( 3a ) and [(S)‐Me₂Al{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)NHCH₂Ph}]₂ ( 4 ) are formed by reacting equimolar amounts of AlMe₃ and Me₂N(CH₂)₃OH, C₆H₂[(CH₂NMe₂)₃‐2,4,6]OH, (S)‐i‐PrNHCH(i‐Pr)CH₂OH, or (S)‐PhCH₂NHCH(i‐Pr)CH₂OH, respectively. An excess of AlMe₃ reacts with Me₂N(CH₂)₂OH, Me₂N(CH₂)₃OH, C₆H₂[(CH₂NMe₂)₃‐2,4,6]OH, and (S)‐i‐PrNHCH(i‐Pr)CH₂OH producing the “pick‐a‐back” complexes [Me₂AlO(CH₂)₂NMe₂](AlMe₃) ( 5 ), [Me₂AlO(CH₂)₃NMe₂](AlMe₃) ( 1b ), [Me₂AlOC₆H₂(CH₂NMe₂)₃‐2,4,6](AlMe₃)₂ ( 2b ), and [(S)‐Me₂AlOCH₂CH(i‐Pr)NH‐i‐Pr](AlMe₃) ( 3b ), respectively. The mixed alkyl‐ or alkenylchloroaluminium alkoxides [Me(Cl)Al{μ‐O(CH₂)₂NMe₂}]₂ ( 6 ) and [{CH₂=C(CH₃)}(Cl)Al{μ‐O(CH₂)₂NMe₂}]₂ ( 8 ) are to obtain from Me₂AlCl and Me₂N(CH₂)₂OH and from [Cl₂Al{μ‐O(CH₂)₂NMe₂}]₂ ( 7 ) and CH₂=C(CH₃)MgBr, respectively. The analogous dimethylgallium alkoxides [Me₂Ga{μ‐O(CH₂)₃NMe₂}]₂ ( 9 ), [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)NH‐i‐Pr}]_n ( 10 ), [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)NHCH₂Ph}]_n ( 11 ), [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂CH(i‐Pr)N(Me)CH₂Ph}]_n ( 12 ) and [(S)‐Me₂Ga{μ‐OCH₂(C₄H₇NHCH₂Ph)}]_n ( 13 ) result from the equimolar reactions of GaMe₃ with the corresponding alcohols. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐ and ²⁷Al‐NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Additionally, the structures of 1a , 1b , 2a , 2b , 3a , 5 , 6 and 8 were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Synthesis and mass spectrometry characterization of centrally and terminally amine‐functionalized polyisobutylenes

This article reports the facile synthesis of novel terminally and centrally functionalized polyisobutylenes (PIBs) and the detailed characterization of the products by various mass spectrometry techniques. Specifically, H? PIB? CH₂? C(OH)CH₃? CH₂? NHCH₃ and [H? PIB? CH₂? CH(OH)CH₃? CH₂]₂? NCH₃ were synthesized by the quantitative epoxidation of H? PIB? CH₂? C(CH₃)?CH₂ and the subsequent conversion of the resulting epoxide with excess CH₃NH₂. Quaternization with CH₃Cl of these mixtures of secondary and tertiary amines yielded exclusively H? PIB? CH₂? C(OCH₃)CH₃? CH₂? N(CH₃)₂ from the secondary amine, whereas the tertiary (centrally functionalized) amine remained unchanged. Tandem mass spectrometry experiments provided unique insight into the precise connectivity of the functional end groups added to the PIB frame. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Base Catalysed Racemization of Ethylenediamine-N,N,N′-triacetato-aqua-cobalt(III)

The kinetics of the base catalysed racemization of [Co(EN3A)H₂O]

1 Abbreviations: EN3A^3?=(^?OOCCH₂)₂N(CH₂)₂NHCH₂COO^?; ME3A^3?=(^?OOCCH₂)₂N(CH₂)₂ N(CH₃)CH₂COO^?; EDDA^2?=^?OOCCH₂NH(CH₂)₂NHCH₂COO^?; EDTA^4?=(^?OOCCH₂)₂N(CH₂)₂N(CH₂COO^?)₂;TNTA^4?=(^?OOCCH₂)₂N(CH₂)₃N(CH₃COO^?)₂; HETA^3?=(^?OOCCH₂)₂N(CH₂)₂N(CH₂COO^?)CH₂CH₂OH; en=H₂N(CH₂)₂NH₂; Meen=H₂N(CH₂)₂NHCH₃; sar^?=^?OOCCH₂NHCH₃.

were studied polarimetrically in aqueous buffer solution. The reaction rate is first order in OH^? and in complex, in weakly acidic medium. Activation parameters are ΔH≠=22 kcal · mol^?1, ΔS≠=26 cal · K^?1. The results are discussed in terms of an S_N1CB mechanism involving exchange of the ligand water molecule. The N-methylated analogue [Co(ME3A)H₂O] does not racemize in the pH-range investigated. Loss of optical activity occurs at a rate which is about 1,000 times slower than the racemization of [Co(EN3A)H₂O](60°) and coincides with the decomposition of the complex.     

Kinetics of hydrolysis of amino acid esters in the presence of aquocomplexes involving ethylenediamine,diethylenetriamine and triethylenetetramine ligands. Part 2. Cobalt(II), cobalt(III), platinum(II) and palladium(II)

Summary Aquocomplexes of cobalt(II), cobalt(III), palladium(II) and platinum(II) involving (H₂NCH₂)₂, [H₂N(CH₂)₂]₂NH and [H₂N(CH₂)₂NHCH₂]₂ as ligands were prepared and characterized. The kinetics of base hydrolysis of the amino acid esters H₂NCH₂CO₂Me·HCl, HOC₆H₄CH₂CH (NH₂)CO₂Me·HCl, MeS(CH₂)₂CH(NH₂)CO₂Me·HCl, HSCH₂CH(NH₂)CO₂Et·HCl, C₃H₃N₂CH₂CH(NH₂)-CO₂Me·2HCl and [—SCH₂CH(NH₂)CO₂Me]₂·2HCl in the presence of these complexes have been studied. The rate of hydrolysis is influenced substantially by these complexes and the second order rate constants are some 10–90 times greater than those obtained in the presence of simple metal ions.     

Reactions of perfluoronitriles. II. Interactions with phenylphosphine

Treatment of perfluoro-n-octanonitrile with phenylphosphine gave tetraphenyltetraphosphine and a spectrum of reduction and interaction products. Fifteen compounds were identified. The imine, (R_fC₇F₁₅) R_fCHNH, and the amine, R_fCH₂NH₂, were the primary reduction products. Secondary phosphorus-free products, some formed following ammonia evolution, were the following: R_fCHNCH₂R_f, R_fCH₂CH(NH₂)R_f, R_fC(NH)NCR_f(NH₂), R_fCH₂NHCR_f(NH), (R_fCN)₃, R_fCHNCR_fNCR_f(NH), R_fCH₂NCR_fNHCH₂R_f, and R_fCH₂NCR_fNHCR_f(NH). Only three phosphorus-containing materials were definitely identified: R_fCH(NH₂)P(C₆H₅)H, R_fCH[P(C₆H₅)H]NCHR_f, and R_fC(NH)P(C₆H₅)CR_f(NH). Depending on reaction conditions, specific phosphorus-containing compounds could be preferentially produced. All the structure assignments are based solely on mass spectral breakdown patterns, since pure compounds were not isolated.     

An efficient one-pot synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted thiophenes from 1-propynylamines or allenic amines and thiocarbonyl compounds

Metallation of the ynamine CH₃CCNEt₂ or the allenic amines H₂CCCHNR₂ (R = CH₃ or C₂H₅) with Schlosser's reagent BuLi · t-BuOK, followed by reaction with a thiocarbonyl compound XCSSCH₃ (X = Me₂N, Et₂N, CH₃S, t-Bu, O-t-Bu, Ph or 2-thienyl) and then addition of water, gives 2,5-disubstituted thiophenes (with Me₂N or Et₂N and X as substituents) in good yields.     

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Study of Some New Phosphoramidates,Crystal Structures of N‐Benzoyl‐N′,N″‐bis(azetidinyl)phosphoric Triamide and N‐Benzoyl‐N′,N″‐bis(hexamethylenyl)phosphoric Triamide

Some new N‐carbonyl, phosphoramidates with formula C₆H₅C(O)N(H)P(O)R₂ (R = NC₃H₆ ( 1 ), NC₆H₁₂ ( 2 ), NHCH₂CH=CH₂ ( 3 ), N(C₃H₇)₂ ( 4 )) and CCl₃C(O)N(H)P(O)R′₂ (R′ = NC₃H₆ ( 5 ), NHCH₂CH=CH₂ ( 6 )) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures were determined for compounds 1 and 2 . Compound 1 exists as two crystallographically independent molecules in crystal lattice. Both compounds 1 and 2 produced dimeric aggregates via intermolecular ‐P=O…H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds, which in compound 2 is a centrosymmetric dimer. In compounds with four‐membered ring amine groups, ³J(P,C)>²J(P,C), in agreement with our previous studies about five‐membered ring amine groups. Also, ³J(P,C) values in compounds 1 and 5 are greater than in compounds with five‐, six‐ and seven‐membered ring amine groups.     

Intercalation of primary diamines in the lamellar niobate HNb3O8 · H2O

The intercalation of alkyl diamines in the protonic oxide HNb₃O₈ · H₂O is quantitative for the diamines H₂N(CH₂)_nNH₂ with n ranging from 2 to 10. All the intercalated oxides [H₃N(CH₂)_nNH₃]_0.5Nb₃O₈ · yH₂O are hydrated at room temperature; they can be easily and reversibly dehydrated to the oxides [H₃N(CH₂)_nNH₃]_0.5Nb₃O₈. The structural behavior of those compounds is compared to that of the alkyldiammonium titanoniobates [H₃N(CH₂)_nNH₃]_0.5TiNbO₅. An interpretation of their structural properties is given which takes into account the tendency of amines to assume an orientation transverse to oxide layers, the conformation of the amine chains, and the tendency to form dense organic layers.     

Past,present and future of the clathrate inclusion compounds built of cyanometallate hosts

One-, two- and three-dimensional CN-bridged metal complex structures made up of building blocks such as linear [Ag(CN)₂]^–, square planar [Ni(CN)₄]^2– or tetrahedral [Cd(CN)₄]^2–, and of the complementary ligands such as ammonia, water, unidentate amine, bidentate a,w- diaminoalkane, etc., are reviewed with an emphasis on their behaviour as hosts to afford clathrate inclusion compounds with guest molecules and as self-assemblies to form supramolecular structures with or without guests. The historical background is explained for Prussian blue and Hofmann's benzene clathrate based on their single crystal structure determinations. The strategies the author and coworkers have been applying to develop varieties of clathrate inclusion compounds from the Hofmann-type are demonstrated with the features observed for the developed structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods.Abbreviations for Ligands and Guests mma NMeH₂ - dma NMe₂H - tma NMe₃ - mea NH₂(CH₂)₂OH - en NH₂(CH₂)₂NH₂ - pn NH₂CHMeCH₂NH₂ - tn NH₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - dabtn NH₂(CH₂)₄NH₂ - daptn NH₂(CH₂)₅NH₂ - dahxn NH₂(CH₂)₆NH₂ - dahpn NH₂(CH₂)₇NH₂ - daotn NH₂(CH₂)₈NH₂ - danon NH₂(CH₂)₉NH₂ - dadcn NH₂(CH₂)₁₀NH₂ - mtn NMeH(CH₂)₃NH₂ - dmtn NMe₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - detn NEt₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - temtn NMe₂(CH₂)₃NMe₂ - dien NH₂(CH₂)₂NH(CH₂)₂NH₂ - pXdam p-C₆H₄(NH₂CH₂)₂ - rnXdam m-C₆H₄(NH₂CH₂)₂ - py C₅H₅N pyridine - ampy NH₂C₅H₄N aminopyridine - Clpy CIC₅H₄N chloropyridine - Mepy MeC₅H₄N methylpyridine - dmpy Me₂C₅H₃N dimethylpyridine - bpy NC₅H₄C₅H₄N bipyridine - quin C₇H₉N quinoline - iquin iso-C₇H₉N isoquinoline - qxln C₈H₆N₂ quinoxaline - Pe C₅H₁₁-pentyl imH: C₃N₂H₄ imidazole - pyrz N(CHCH)₂N pyrazine - Mequin MeC₇H₈N methylquinoline - bppn C₁₃H₁₄N₂ 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane - bpb C₁₄H₈N₂ 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)butadiyne - N-Meim C₃N₂H₃Me N-methylimidazole - 2-MeimH C₃N₂H₃Me 2-methylimidazole - dmf HOCNMe₂ dimethylformamide - hmta C₆H₁₂N₄ hexamethylenetetramine - o-phen C₁₂H₈N₂ 1,10-phenanthroline - den HN(CH₂CH₂)₂NH piperazine - morph HN(CH₂CH₂)₂O morpholine - ten N(CH₂CH₂)₃N 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane - ameden NH₂(CH₂)₂N(CH₂CH₂)₂NH N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine Presented at the Sixth International Seminar on Inclusion Compounds, Istanbul, Turkey, 27–31 August, 1995.     

Kinetic studies and micellar effect on the aminolys is of certain o-aryl oximes

Rate constants for the aminolysis of a few O-aryl oximes with several primary alkl amines, CH₃NH₂—C₆H₁₃NH₂, in 1:1 water-acetonitrile are reported. Reactions of methylamine with substrates possessing poor nucleofugues are very weakly sensitive to base catalysis while reactions of higher amines are not. Slightly higher rate of long chain amine may be considered as a consequence of hydrophobic interaction. Cationic micelles of cetyltnmethyl ammonium bromide enhance the rate. Magnitude of micellar catalysis increases towards higher amines.     

nido‐Undecaboranes and ‐borates of the Type B11H13L and B11H12L‐

The Lewis base SMe₂ in 7‐B₁₁H₁₃(SMe₂) ( 1a ) can be replaced by the amines L = NH₂(CH₂tBu), NH₂Cy, NH₂Ph, NH₂(4‐C₆H₄Me), py, chinoline or the phosphanes L = PPh₃, PMePh₂, yielding 7‐B₁₁H₁₃L ( 1b ‐ i ). The borane 1a can be deprotonated by certain amines, alkanides, or hydrides to give the anion 7‐B₁₁H₁₂(SMe₂)^‐ ( 2a ). Replacing the base SMe₂ in the anion 2a by weak bases gives B₁₁H₁₂L^‐ (L = PPh₃, MeCN; 2h , j ). Upon reaction of 1a with the amine NH₂(CH₂tBu) in the ratio 1:2, a deprotonation and the substitution of SMe₂ by the amine are observed, 7‐B₁₁H₁₂[NH₂(CH₂tBu)]^‐ ( 2b ) being formed. At 170 °C, the 7‐isomers 1b , f are isomerized into a mixture of the corresponding 1‐ and 2‐isomers ( 1b′ , f′ and 1b″ , f″ , respectively).     

Effect of the Structure of Phase-Transfer Catalyst on the Rate of Alkaline Hydrolysis of N-Benzyloxycarbonylglycine 4-Nitrophenyl Ester in the System Chloroform-Borate Buffer

Onium salts QZ (Z = Cl, Br) having a lipophilic (Q = R₃NR', where R' = C₁₆H₃₃) or readily extractable (into organic phase) cation (Q = Ph₄P) exhibit a high catalytic activity in phase-transfer alkaline hydrolysis of N-benzyloxycarbonylglycine 4-nitrophenyl ester in the two-phase system chloroform-borate buffer (pH 10). No catalytic effect is observed in the presence of hydrophilic ammonium salts [Et₄NCl, Et₃PhCH₂NCl, Me₂(NH₂)+NCH₂CH₂+N(NH₂)Me₂·2Br^-] and those insoluble in organic solvents [(Me)₃+NNH(CH₂)₂COO^-·2H₂O, Me₂(NH₂)+NCH₂CO^-, Me₂(NH₂)+N(CH₂)₃SO₃ ^-]. These data suggest extraction mechanism of the process. The activity of lipophilic cation Q is determined mainly by two factors: its extractibility, on the one hand, and the ability to form micelles, on the other.     

Coordination of mono- and diamines to titanium and zirconium alkoxides

The structural chemistry of crystalline adducts M₂(OR)₈(amine)₂ (M = Ti: OR = OⁱPr, amine = NH₂CH₂Ph, NH₂Bu; M = Ti: OR = OEt, amine = piperidine; M = Zr: OR = OⁱPr, amine = NH₂CH₂Ph, NH₂C₆H₁₁) is discussed. The adducts were obtained by reaction of Ti(OEt)₄ or M(OⁱPr)₄ with primary or secondary amines. The monoamine adducts are centrosymmetric dimers in which the amines are coordinated axially to the M₂μ-OR)₂ ring and hydrogen-bonded to neighboring alkoxo ligands. The adducts are sufficiently stable if the hydrogen bond is strong. ¹⁵N NMR studies revealed that the amines are also coordinated in solution. Coordination polymers were obtained when diamines with two terminal NH₂ groups are reacted with Ti(OⁱPr)₄. The general structure is the same as that of Ti₂(OⁱPr)₈(RNH₂)₂. However, the diamines bridge the Ti₂(OⁱPr)₈ units. When Zr(OⁱPr)₄ was reacted with NH₂CH₂CH₂NHMe, the adduct Zr₂(OⁱPr)₈[NH₂CH₂CH₂NHMe]₂ was obtained where only the NH₂ group is coordinated.
