Mosquera, Gerardo Jiménez, Tomás CuencaThe reaction of the cyclopentadienyl-silyl-amido titanium compound [Ti{η5-C5H4SiMe2-η-N(CH2)2-η-NH2}Cl2] with group 5 metal monocyclopentadienyl complexes [MCpRCl4] (M = Nb, Ta; CpR = C5H4SiMe3 (Cp‘), C5Me5 (Cp*)) afforded the heterobimetallic complexes [TiCl2{η5-C5H4SiMe2-η-N(CH2)2-κ-NH2}MCpRCl4] (M = Nb, CpR = Cp‘, 2a; Cp*, 2b; M = Ta, CpR = Cp‘, 3a; Cp = Cp*, 3b). Compounds
2 evolve at room temperature to give a three-component mixture, the chlorosilyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl titanium compound [Ti(η5-C5H4SiMe2Cl)Cl3], the corresponding mononuclear amido-amino,
[NbCpR{NH(CH2)2-η-NH2}Cl3] (CpR = Cp‘, 4a; Cp*, 4b), and the dinuclear imido niobium complexes
[{NbCpRCl2}2(μ-N(CH2)2-η-N)] (CpR = Cp‘, 5a; Cp*, 5b). In contrast, the analogue tantalum complexes
thermally degraded, when CpR = Cp‘ at normal temperature, whereas when CpR = Cp* at temperatures
higher than 50 °C, they gave a unique tantalum complex, the corresponding mononuclear amido-amino
derivative [TaCpR{NH(CH2)2-η-NH2}Cl3] (CpR = Cp‘, 6a; Cp*, 6b). Alternatively, these group 5
complexes were prepared by direct reaction of the monocyclopentadienyl derivatives with the corresponding
organic diamine, in the appropriate proportion and reaction conditions. Tantalum amino adducts were
observed as intermediate species in the course of such reactions, and even the dinuclear derivative
[{TaCp*Cl4}2(μ-NH2(CH2)2NH2)] (8) could be isolated. Hydrolysis of the dinuclear imido complex 5a
yielded the tricyclic tetranuclear niobium oxo derivative [{NbCp‘Cl(μ2-O)}4(Cl)2(μ3-O)] (9), which displays
an asymmetrical structure as a consequence of the triply connected oxygen site. These compounds were
characterized by elemental analysis and NMR spectroscopy, and the crystal structures of 4a and 9 were
determined by X-ray diffraction methods.
