  • Synthesis and reduction of [(C 5 H 4 SiMe 3 ) 2 Ln(μ-OR)] 2 (Ln = La, Ce) complexes: structural effects of bridging alkoxides
Title: Synthesis and reduction of [(C 5 H 4 SiMe 3 ) 2 Ln(μ-OR)] 2 (Ln = La, Ce) complexes: structural effects of bridging alkoxides
Alcoholysis of (C5H4SiMe)3Ln results in bimetallic complexes with unexpected decreases in Ln⋯Ln distances as bridging alkoxides become bulkier. These complexes were characterized by DOSY NMR, CV, DPV, and a LaIIspecies was observed by EPR.  more » « less

    Four β-carbonylphosphine oxide compounds were complexed with four Ln(NO3)3salts (Ln = Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy). The Ln–ligand complexes were characterized in the solid state (IR, CHN) and as solutions in acetonitrile (NMR, LR-MS, photophysical properties).

    Attractive London dispersion effects were found to be responsible forca.half of the dissociation energy of the thiolate ligands in the first examples of M(EAriPr6)3complexes of any metal with any donor [AriPr6= C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-iPr3)2].

    The reduction potentials (reported vs. Fc + /Fc) for a series of Cp′ 3 Ln complexes (Cp′ = C 5 H 4 SiMe 3 , Ln = lanthanide) were determined via electrochemistry in THF with [ n Bu 4 N][BPh 4 ] as the supporting electrolyte. The Ln( iii )/Ln( ii ) reduction potentials for Ln = Eu, Yb, Sm, and Tm (−1.07 to −2.83 V) follow the expected trend for stability of 4f 7 , 4f 14 , 4f 6 , and 4f 13 Ln( ii ) ions, respectively. The reduction potentials for Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Lu, that form 4f n 5d 1 Ln( ii ) ions ( n = 2–14), fall in a narrow range of −2.95 V to −3.14 V. Only cathodic events were observed for La and Ce at −3.36 V and −3.43 V, respectively. The reduction potentials of the Ln( ii ) compounds [K(2.2.2-cryptand)][Cp′ 3 Ln] (Ln = Pr, Sm, Eu) match those of the Cp′ 3 Ln complexes. The reduction potentials of nine (C 5 Me 4 H) 3 Ln complexes were also studied and found to be 0.05–0.24 V more negative than those of the Cp′ 3 Ln compounds.

    Abstract Coordination complexes of general formulatrans‐[MX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] (MII=Ti, V, Cr, Mn; E=N or P; R=alkyl or aryl) are a cornerstone of coordination and organometallic chemistry. We investigate the electronic properties of two such complexes,trans‐[VCl2(tmeda)2] andtrans‐[VCl2(dmpe)2], which thus representtrans‐[MX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] where M=V, X=Cl, R=Me and E=N (tmeda) and P (dmpe). These VIIcomplexes haveS=3/2 ground states, as expected for octahedral d3. Their tetragonal distortion leads to zero‐field splitting (zfs) that is modest in magnitude (D≈0.3 cm−1) relative to analogousS=1 TiIIand CrIIcomplexes. This parameter was determined from conventional EPR spectroscopy, but more effectively from high‐frequency and ‐field EPR (HFEPR) that determined the sign ofDas negative for the diamine complex, but positive for the diphosphine, which information had not been known for anytrans‐[VX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] systems. The ligand‐field parameters oftrans‐[VCl2(tmeda)2] andtrans‐[VCl2(dmpe)2] are obtained using both classical theory andab initioquantum chemical theory. The results shed light not only on the electronic structure of VIIin this environment, but also on differences between N and P donor ligands, a key comparison in coordination chemistry.

    To expand the range of donor atoms known to stabilize 4fn5d1Ln(ii) ions beyond C, N, and O first row main group donor atoms, the Ln(iii) terphenylthiolate iodides, LnIII(SAriPr6)2I (AriPr6= C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-iPr3)2, Ln = La, Nd) were reduced to LnII(SAriPr6)2complexes.
