Optimised synthesis of monoanionic bis(NHC)-pincer ligand precursors and their Li-complexes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Herein we report the optimised synthesis of a versatile bis(imidazole)carbazole framework 4, a precursor to our previously reported C–N–C bis(NHC) pincer ligand, bimca. We have also used 4 as a basis for constructing a library of fully characterised bis(imidazolium) salt pre-ligands which vary the steric and electronic parameters of the subsequently formed NHC moieties. Lithium bis(NHC)carbazolide complexes Li(bimca) were generated from their parent bis(imidazolium)carbazole salts, and their behavior in solution and the solid state is discussed.

Isolation of a potassium bis(1,2,3-triazol-5-ylidene)carbazolide: a stabilizing pincer ligand for reactive late transition metal complexes.
The synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a potassium adduct of a monoanionic CNC-pincer ligand featuring two mesoionic carbenes is reported. Owing to the peculiar electronic and steric properties of this ligand, the first neutral stable Ni(II)-hydride, and an unusual Cu(II) complex displaying a seesaw geometry, have been isolated.

The reactivity of the monoanionic amidinate ligand [(CH3)3CNC(Ph)NSiMe2NC(Ph)-NHC(CH3)3]Li (1) with a silyl amido side arm towards the early actinides, uranium and thorium, was investigated. While the salt metathesis reaction with ThCl4(thf)3 afforded the bis(amidinate)thorium(iv) dichloride complex [(CH3)3CNC(Ph)NSi(CH3)2NC(Ph)-NHC(CH3)3]ThCl2 (2) in high yield, the reaction of ligand 1 with U...

متن کاملCSC-pincer versus pseudo-pincer complexes of palladium(II): a comparative study on complexation and catalytic activities of NHC complexes.
Three thioether bridged diimidazolium dibromides with different steric and electronic properties have been synthesized as precursors to carbene-based CSC pincer ligands. Palladation afforded CSC Pd(II) pincer complexes for bulky and electron rich ligand systems, whereas the least donating ligand led to the formation of a pseudo-pincer complex. All complexes have been fully characterized by mult...
