Ligand Metallation during the Reduction of a
Thorium(IV) Amide Complex
Posted on 2005-04-11 - 00:00
The complex [{1,3-[2,6-(i-Pr)2-C6H3N]2(CH2)3}2ThCl][Li(THF)4] (1), containing two chelating amides,
was prepared via straightforward halogen replacement
of ThCl4(DME) with dilithium salt of 1,3-[2,6-(i-Pr)2-C6H3NH]2(CH2)3. Attempts to reduce this species were
carried out with K(naphthalenide), affording an intermediate dark colored solution that slowly discolored and
yielded colorless crystals of the tetravalent metallacyclic
complex [{1,3-[2,6-(i-Pr)2-C6H3N]2(CH2)3}{1,3-[2-(i-Pr)-6-(CH2CHCH2)C6H3N]2 (CH2)3}Th][Li(DME)3] (2). In
this species, one hydrogen atom of one neighboring
ligand methyl group was eliminated to form a metallacyclic structure.
