RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Synthetic and reactivity studies of mono- and dicyclopentadienyl titanium, zirconium and hafnium complexes with the chlorodimethylsilyl-cyclopentadienyl ligand. X-ray molecular structure of Hf{(η5-C5H4)SiMe2OSiMe2(η5-C5H4)}Cl2 and Zr(η5-1,3-tBu2C5H3)(η5-C5H4SiMe2-η-NtBu)Cl A1 Ciruelos Ortega, Santiago A1 Sebastián Navas, Alfredo A1 Cuenca Agreda, José Tomás A1 Gómez Sal, Pilar A1 Manzanero Castillo, Antonio A1 Royo Gracia, Pascual K1 Titanium K1 Zirconium K1 Hafnium K1 Chlorodimethylsilyl-cyclopentadienyl K1 Mixed dicyclopentadienyl K1 Amido cyclopentadienyl K1 Ciencia K1 Química inorgánica K1 Science K1 Chemistry, inorganic AB Reaction of the disilylated cyclopentadiene C5H4(SiClMe2)(SiMe3) with HfCl4, in heptane, gave the monocyclopentadienyl complex Hf(η5-C5H4SiClMe2)Cl3 (1c). Addition of two equivalents of C5H5(SiClMe2) to a solution of MCl4, in toluene under reflux and in the presence of two equivalents of NEt3, afforded the dichloro derivatives M(η5-C5H4SiClMe2)2Cl2 [M=Ti (2a), Hf (2c)]. Compounds 2a and 2c react with a stoichiometric amount of water with selective hydrolysis of the SiCl bonds to give the tetramethyldisiloxane-bridged diciclopentadienyl complexes M{(η5-C5H4)SiMe2OSiMe2(η5-C5H4)}Cl2 [M=Ti (3a), Hf (3c)]. The reaction of the trichloro metal compounds M(η5-C5H4SiClMe2)Cl3 with Tl(1,3-tBu2C5H3), K(C5Me5) or Tl(C5H5) afforded the dichloro mixed dicyclopentadienyl MCp′(η5-C5H4SiClMe2)Cl2 derivatives [Cp′=1,3-tBu2C5H3, M=Ti (4a), Zr (4b), Hf (4c); Cp′=C5Me5, M=Zr (5b), Hf (5c); Cp′=C5H5, M=Hf (6c)]. The SiCl bond of the mixed dicyclopentadienyl complexes M(η5-1,3-tBu2C5H3)(η5-C5H4SiClMe2)Cl2, [M=Ti (4a), Zr (4b), Hf (4c)] reacts selectively with one equivalent of LiNHtBu in toluene at 50–60°C to give the amidosilyl(cyclopentadienyl) compounds M(η5-1,3-tBu2C5H3)(η5-C5H4SiMe2NHtBu)Cl2, [M=Ti (7a), Zr (7b), Hf (7c)]. The same reaction with two equivalents of the lithium amide gives the ansa-cyclopentadienylsilyl-amido compounds M(η5-1,3-tBu2C5H3)(η5-C5H4SiMe2-η-NtBu)Cl [M=Ti (8a), Zr (8b), Hf (8c)]. The X-ray molecular structure of Hf{(η5-C5H4)SiMe2OSiMe2(η5-C5H4)}Cl2 (3c) and Zr(η5-1,3-tBu2C5H3)(η5-C5H4SiMe2-η-NtBu)Cl (8b) have been determined by diffraction methods.
