K. Aoyagi et al., BIS(TRIISOPROPYLSILYL)-O-PHENYLENEDIAMIDO COMPLEXES OF TITANIUM AND ZIRCONIUM - INVESTIGATION OF A NEW ANCILLARY LIGAND, Organometallics, 15(3), 1996, pp. 923-927
From the dilithio reagent o-C6H4((NLiSiPr3)-Pr-i)(2) (2), the new comp
lexes [o-C6H4((NSiPr3)-Pr-i)(2)]Zr-2 (3), [o-C6H4(Nsi(i)Pr(3))(2)]Zr(O
(t)Bu)(2) (4), [o-C6H((NSiPr3)-Pr-i)(2)]TiCl2 (5), and [o-C6H4((NSiPr3
)-Pr-i)(2)]TiMe(2) (6) have been prepared. X-ray crystallographic and
variable-temperature NMR studies characterize these complexes as posse
ssing eta(4)-C6H4((NSiPr3)-Pr-i)(2) ligands (bonded to the metal via t
wo carbon atoms in the phenylene group), which undergo a eta(4)-eta(2)
fluxional process in solution.
