چکیده

A redox-active, tetradentate ligand, N,N'-bis-(3-dimethylamino-propyl)-4,5-dimethoxy-benzene-1,2-diamide ([N(2)N(2)(cat)](2-)), was developed, and the six-coordinate metal complexes [N(2)N(2)(cat)]TiCl(2) (3) and [N(2)N(2)(cat)]ZrCl(2) (4) were synthesized. The tetradentate ligand was determined to be fluxional in 3 and 4, enabled by reversible dissociation of the neutral amine groups of the [N(2)N(2)(cat)](2-) ligand. Both amine arms of 3 could be replaced by N,N-dimethylaminopyridine with an overall free energy change of -4.64(3) kcal mol(-1) at 298 K. Cyclic voltammetry experiments were used to probe the redox capabilities of the [N(2)N(2)(cat)](2-) ligand: complex 3 exhibited two one-electron oxidations at -0.19 and -0.52 V versus [Cp(2)Fe](+/0) while 4 exhibited a single two-electron oxidation at -0.55 V. Substitution of the chlorides in 3 for an imide afforded the dimer {[N(2)N(2)(cat)]Ti(μ-p-NC(6)H(4)Me)}(2), in which the metal centers are five-coordinate because of dissociation of one amine arm of the [N(2)N(2)(cat)](2-) ligand. While the bis-azide complex [N(2)N(2)(cat)]Ti(N(3))(2) was stable toward elimination of N(2), the bis-phenylacetylide complex [N(2)N(2)(cat)]Ti(C≡CPh)(2) could be oxidized by PhICl(2), resulting in subsequent reductive elimination of 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne.

The Kinetics and Mechanism of Oxidation of the N-Substituted Urea-Titanium (III) Complexes by Iodine (AS I-3) in Ethanol and Acetonitrile

The oxidation of complexes of Ti(III), (TiL6)3+ (L=ur, Meur, DMeur, DEture, N-Bu-ur, and Phur), by iodine as I3- in ethanol and acetonitrile solutions, appears to proceed as a second order reaction and is much faster in ethanol solution (where solvolysis occurs) than in acetonitrile. The enthalpy of activation appears to decrease as ligand's size ...

Synthesis and conformational analysis of constrained ethylene-bridged bis(hydroxylamino-1,3,5-triazine) compounds as tetradentate ligands; structure of rigid dinuclear Ti(IV) complex.

Ethylene-bridged bis(hydroxylamino-1,3,5-triazine) compounds, that may serve as tetradentate ligands, were synthesized in three steps from 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine. These compounds demonstrate different rotation restrictions around the C(Ar)-N bonds due to their distinctive electronic structure as apparent from their resonative contributors. A dinuclear complex Ti 2(mu-L)2(OiPr)4 (L = bis...
