Synthesis and Structures of Ti<sup>III</sup> and Ti<sup>IV</sup> Complexes Supported by a Bulky Guanidinate Ligand

In this work, titanium complexes of the bidentate bulky guanidine ligand [{(Dip)N}<sub>2</sub>CNR<sub>2</sub>]H (where Dip = C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>iPr<sub>2</sub>-2,6 and R = CH(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>) (LH)...

description In this work, titanium complexes of the bidentate bulky guanidine ligand [{(Dip)N}<sub>2</sub>CNR<sub>2</sub>]H (where Dip = C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>iPr<sub>2</sub>-2,6 and R = CH(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>) (LH) were prepared. Reaction of LH with one equivalent of [(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>NTiCl<sub>3</sub>] underwent amine elimination to afford the monomeric complex [LTiCl<sub>3</sub>] (<b>1</b>) in high yield. Attempts to reduce <b>1</b> with potassium graphite (KC<sub>8</sub>) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) were unsuccessful. However, reacting <b>1</b> with 3.3 equivalents of KC<sub>8</sub> in hexane led to the first example of structurally characterized mono-guanidinate ligand stabilized dimeric Ti<sup>III</sup> complex [LTiCl(μ–Cl)]<sub>2</sub> (<b>2</b>). The synthesized complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and the structures were further confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
