Abstract

The synthesis of [PhC(NSiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 Y(μ-Cl) 2 Li·2THF ( 1 ) from YCl 3 ·3.5THF and [PhC(NSiMe 3 ) 2 ]Li, which is easily transformed into [PhC(NSiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 YCl·THF ( 2 ), provides a useful entry into the chemistry of several bis( N, N ‘-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinato)yttrium complexes. Those prepared from 2 by chloride metathesis include [PhC(NSiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 YR (R = BH 4 ·THF ( 3 ), N(SiMe 3 ) 2 ( 4 ), 2,6-(CMe 3 ) 2 -4-MeOC 6 H 2 ( 5 ), (μ-Me) 2 Li·TMEDA ( 6 ) (TMEDA = N, N, N ‘, N ‘-tetramethylethylenediamine), CH 2 Ph·THF ( 7 ), CH(SiMe 3 ) 2 ( 8 )). Similar to 8, [ p -MeOC 6 H 4 C(NSiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 YCH(SiMe 3 ) 2 ( 8 OMe ) could be prepared starting from [ p -MeOC 6 H 4 C(NSiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 YCl·THF ( 2 OMe ). Hydrogenolysis (4 atm) of 8 and 8 OMe affords dimeric hydrides {[ p -X-C 6 H 4 C(NSiMe 3 ) 2 ] 2 Y(μ-H)} 2 (X = H ( 9 ), X = MeO ( 9 OMe )). The alkyl 8 OMe and the hydride 9 have been characterized by an X-ray diffraction structure determination. Sterically the bis( N, N ‘-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate) ligand system resembles more the bis(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) than the bis(cyclopentadienyl) ligand set. However, INDO/1 semi-empirical MO studies indicate that the electronic properties of [HC(NH) 2 ] 2 YCH 3 (used as a model for bis(benzamidinato)yttrium alkyl complexes) are rather different from [C 5 H 5 ] 2 YCH 3 . The yttrium atom in [HC(NH) 2 ] 2 YCH 3 is considerably more positively charged than in [C 5 H 5 ] 2 YCH 3 . The resulting strong ionic character of the bis(benzamidinate) system is held responsible for the absence of agostic interactions and H/D exchange and the low hydrogenolysis rate observed.

  • The amidinate ligand bears a stronger negative charge than cyclopentadienyl fragments, generating a more Lewis acidic metal center that benefits ethylene polymerization.

    “Compared with the widely employed cyclopentadienyl fragments, the amidinate ligand bears a much stronger negative charge to generate a more Lewis acidic metal center,53 which benefits E polymerization.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
