Abstract: | The preparation of a new functionalized cyclopentadienyl ligand bearing a nitrile pendant substituent, (C5H4CMe2CH2CN)? is reported. The corresponding lithium salt of this ligand (1) was prepared by the reaction of in situ lithiated acetonitrile with 6,6-dimethylfulvene. The ligand was subsequently utilized for the synthesis of group 4 metal complexes [(η5–C5H4CMe2CH2CN)2MCl2] (M = Ti, 2; M = Zr, 3; M = Hf, 4), [(η5–C5H5) (η5–C5H4CMe2CH2CN)MCl2] (M = Ti, 7; M = Zr, 8), and [(η5-C5Me5) (η5 C5H4CMe2CH2CN)2ZrCl2] (9). Alternative route to 2 comprised the preparation of half-sandwich complex [(η5–C5H4CMe2CH2CN)TiCl3] (6). The prepared compounds were characterized by common spectroscopic methods and the solid state structures of complexes 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 were determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In addition, compound 7 was converted to the corresponding dimethyl derivative [(η5–C5H5) (η5–C5H4CMe2CH2CN)TiMe2] (10) and also treated with the chloride anion abstractor Li[B(C6F5)4] to generate the cationic complex with the coordinated nitrile group, as suggested by the NMR spectroscopy. A formation of yet another cationic complex was observed upon treating compound 10 with (Ph3C)[B(C6F5)4]. |
