Crystal structures of a novel NNN pincer ligand and its dinuclear titanium(IV) alkoxide pincer complex.

ABSTRACT: This report describes a synthetic protocols and the crystal structures involving a novel pincer-type H₃[NNN] ligand, namely di-?-bromido-?-{2-(2,2-di-methylpropanimido-yl)-N-[2-(2,2-di-methyl-propanimido-yl)-4-methyl-phen-yl]-4-methylaniline}-bis-[(diethyl ether)lithium], [Li₂Br₂(C₂₄H₃₃N₃)(C₄H₁₀O)₂] (1) and a dinuclear metal complex, namely di-?-bromido-2:3?⁴Br:Br-bis-{2-(2,2-di-methylpropanimido-yl)-N-[2-(2,2-di-methyl-propanimido-yl)-4-methyl-phen-yl]-4-methylaniline}-1?³N,N',N'';4?³N,N',N''-tetra-?-iso-propano-lato-1:2?⁴O:O;3:4?⁴O:O-diiso-propano-lato-1?O,4?O-2,3-dilithium-1,4-dititanium, [Li₂Ti₂Br₂(C₂₄H₃₂N₃)₂(C₃H₇O)₆] or {[NHNNH]Ti(O ⁱ Pr)₃(LiBr)₂}₂ (2). Complex 1, which sits on a twofold rotation axis, is a rare example of a pincer-type ligand which bears ketimine side arms. A unique feature of complex 1 is that the ketimine N atoms have an LiBr(Et₂O) fragment bonded to them, with the Li atom adopting a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. This particular fragment creates an LiBr bridge between the two ketimine sidearms, which leads to a cage-type appearance of the ligand. Complex 2 consists of the previously described ligand and a Ti^IV metal atom in an octa-hedral environment, and is located on an inversion center. Complex 2 crystallizes as a dinuclear species with the metal atoms being bridged by an LiBr entity [the Br atoms are disordered and refined in two positions with their site occupation factors refining to 0.674?(12)/0.372?(12)], and the Li cation being bonded to the isopropoxide O atoms (Li having a tetra-hedral coordination as in 1). The organic ligand of compound 2 exhibits disorder in its periphery groups; isopropyl and tert-butyl groups (occupation factors fixed at 0.6/0.4). The novel [NNN]H₃ pincer-type ligand was characterized by multinuclear and multidimensional NMR, HRMS and X-ray crystallography. The dinuclear metal complex 2 was characterized by X-ray crystallography. Although each structure exhibits donor N-H groups, no hydrogen bonding is found in either one, perhaps due to the bulky groups around them. One of the ethyl groups of the ether ligand of 1 is disordered and refined in two parts with site-occupation factors of 0.812?(8) and 0.188?(8). One and a half toluene solvent mol-ecules are also present in the asymmetric unit of 2. The toluene mol-ecules were significantly disordered and could not be modeled properly, thus SQUEEZE [Spek (2015 ?). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18] was used to remove their contributions to the overall intensity data.

Project description:Compound [Ir(C8H12)(C51H45P4)]Cl2 or [Ir(cod)(CH(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]Cl2 (1a), was obtained from [IrCl(cod)]2 and the carbodi-phospho-rane (CDP) salt [CH(dppm)2]Cl [where cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene and dppm = bis-(di-phenyl-phosphino)methane]. Treatment of 1a with thallium(I) tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate [Tl(OTf)] and subsequent crystallization gave complex [Ir(C8H12)(C51H45P4)](OTf)2·CH3CO2C2H5·CH2Cl2 or [Ir(cod)(CH(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)](OTf)2·CH3CO2C2H5·CH2Cl2 (1b) [systematic name: (cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,7-diphospha-3,5-di-phospho-niaheptan-4-yl)iridium(I) bis-(tri-fluoro-methane-sulfonate)-ethyl acetate-di-chloro-methane (1/1/1)]. This five-coordinate iridium(I) complex cation adopts a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with the CDP carbon and one cod double bond in axial sites. Compound 1b represents the first example of a non-meridional coordination of the PCP pincer ligand [CH(dppm)2]+ with a P-Ir-P angle of 98.08?(2)°. Compound 2, [IrCl2H(C51H44P4)]·(CH3)2CO or [IrCl2H(C(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]·(CH3)2CO [systematic name: di-chlorido-hydrido(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,5?5,7-triphospha-3-phospho-niahept-4-en-4-yl)iridium(III) acetone monosolvate], crystallizes as an acetone monosolvate. It is a six-coordinate IrIII coordination compound. Here, the PCP pincer ligand is coordinated in a meridional manner; one chlorido ligand is positioned trans to the carbon donor, the remaining two coordination sites being occupied by the second chlorido and a hydrido ligand trans to each other. Complex 3, [IrCl2H(C51H45P4)]Cl·5H2O or [IrCl2H(CH(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]Cl·5H2O [systematic name: di-chlorido-hydrido(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,7-diphospha-3,5-di-phospho-niaheptan-4-yl)iridium(III) chloride penta-hydrate], represents the conjugate CH acid of 2. The ligand [CH(dppm)2]+ is coordinated in a meridional manner. In the cationic six-coordinate IrIII complex 4, [IrClH(CO)(C51H44P4)]Cl·2CH3OH·H2O or [IrClH(CO)(C(dppm)2-?3P,C,P)]Cl·2CH3OH·H2O [systematic name: carbonyl-chlorido-hydrido(1,1,3,3,5,5,7,7-octa-phenyl-1,5?5,7-triphospha-3-phos-pho-niahept-4-en-4-yl)iridium(III) chloride-methanol-water (1/2/1)], the chlorido ligand is found in the plane defined by the Ir center and the meridional PCP ligand; the H and CO ligands are positioned axially to this plane and trans to each other.
