Synthesis and properties of guanidinate derivatives of rare-earth metals. Molecular structures of the { (Me3Si)2NC(NPri)2}2Y(µ-Cl)2Li(THF)2, [{ (Me3Si)2NC(NPri)2}2SmCl]2 and {(Me3Si)2NC(NPri)2} Sm(µ3-BH4)2(DME) complexes

The reaction of anhydrous SmCl₃ with two equivalents of lithium N,N′-diisopropyl-N″-bis(trimethylsilyl)guanidinate in THF afforded the [{(Me₃Si)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂}₂SmCl]₂ complex (1) in 82% yield. Analogous reactions with YCl₃ and GdCl₃ produced the ate-complexes { (Me₃Si)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂}₂Ln(µ-Cl)₂Li(THF)₂ (Ln = Y (2) and Gd (3)). The structures of complexes 1 and 2 were established by X-ray diffraction. The reaction of complex 1 with NaBH₄ in hexane (20 °C) followed by treatment with dimethoxyethane yielded the unexpected product, { (Me₃Si)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂}Sm(µ³-BH₄)₂(DME) (5). X-ray diffraction study showed that both borohydride ligands in complex 5 are tridentate.     

Bulk polymerization of rac-lactide initiated by guanidinate alkoxide complexes of rare earth metals. The molecular structure of the cluster [{(Me3Si)2NC(NPri)2}Nd]4(μ3-OPri)8Li7(μ2-Cl)3(μ3-Cl)2(μ4-Cl)2

The complexes {(Me₃Si)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂}₂LnOBu^t (Ln = Y (1), Lu (2)) initiate the bulk polymerization of racemic lactide (LA) at 130 °C. At the monomer: initiator molar ratio ([LA]: 1) equal to 1000: 1, the quantitative conversion of the monomer is achieved within 6 h. The resulting polymers are characterized by a rather narrow monomodal molecular weight distribution (M _w/M _n = 1.46–1.82) and molecular weights up to 33400 g mol^?1. The molecular weights of the resulting polylactides measured by gel permeation chromatography are 3–11 times lower than the values calculated from the monomer: initiator ratio on the assumption of one growing polymer chain per catalytic center. The reaction of the in-situ prepared complex [(Me₃Si)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂]NdCl₂ with 2 equiv. of PrⁱOLi produced the 11-nuclear cluster [{(Me₃Si)₂NC(NPrⁱ)₂}Nd]₄(μ³-OPrⁱ)₈Li₇(μ²-Cl)₃(μ³-Cl)₂(μ⁴-Cl)₂ (3), which was isolated in 62% yield. The structure of compound 3 was established by X-ray diffraction. Complex 3 initiates both the bulk and solution polymerization of rac-lactide. In the bulk polymerization at the molar ratio [LA]: [Nd] = 500: 1, the 89% conversion of the monomer was achieved within one hour. The polylactide thus synthesized has the molecular weight M _n = 19720 g mol^?1 and a rather narrow polydispersity M _w/M _n = 1.54.     

Mixed-ligand guanidinate derivatives of rare-earth metals. Molecular structures of { (Me3Si)2NC(N-cyclo-Hex)2}Y[N(SiMe3)2]2, [{ (Me3Si)2NC(N-cyclo-Hex)2}YbI(THF)2]2, and [{(Me3Si)2N} Y(THF)(µ-Cl)]2 complexes

The insertion of N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide at one of the Y-N bonds of the [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃Y complex in toluene at 70 °C afforded the monoguanidinate diamide derivative { (Me₃Si)₂NC(N-cyclo-Hex)₂}Y[N(SiMe)₃]₂ (1) (cyclo-Hex is cyclohexyl) in 72% yield. The reaction of equimolar amounts of sodium N,N′-dicyclohexyl-N″-bis(trimethylsilyl)guanidinate, which was prepared in situ from {(Me₃Si)₂N}Na and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, and YbI₂(THF)₂ in THF gave the [{(Me₃Si)₂NC(N-cyclo-Hex)₂}YbI(THF)₂]₂ complex (2). An attempt to use this procedure for the synthesis of the yttrium compound { (Me₃Si)₂NC(NSiMe₃)₂}₂YCl containing the sterically more hindered guanidinate ligand unexpectedly led to the formation of the diamide chloride complex [{(Me₃Si)₂N}₂Y(THF)(µ-Cl)]₂ (3). The structures of complexes 1–3 were established by X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is mononuclear. Complexes 2 and 3 are dinuclear and contain two µ²-bridging halide ligands.

The reaction of lithium silylamide [??o-MeOC₆H₄N(SiMe₃)}Li(OEt₂)]₂ with 2 equiv. of benzonitrile in THF at ??20 °C affords the lithium derivative of the new tridentate amidinate ligand [{o-MeOC₆H₄NC(Ph)N(SiMe₃)}Li]₂.
