Selective Schiff Base Formation of Group 9 Organometallic Complexes with Functionalized Spirobifluorene Ligands

Organic amines are important compounds present in a wide variety of products, which makes the development of new systems for their detection an interesting field of study. New organometallic complexes of group 9 [MCp*X(2′-R-2-py-SBF)] (M = Ir, Rh; R = H, X = Cl (<b>6</b>), R = H, X = OAc...

description Organic amines are important compounds present in a wide variety of products, which makes the development of new systems for their detection an interesting field of study. New organometallic complexes of group 9 [MCp*X(2′-R-2-py-SBF)] (M = Ir, Rh; R = H, X = Cl (<b>6</b>), R = H, X = OAc (<b>7</b>), R = CHO, X = Cl (<b>8</b>)), and [IrCp*Cl(2′, 7-diCHO-2-py-SBF)] (<b>9</b>) (Cp* pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, SBF = 9,9’-spirobifluorene) bearing bidentate C–N ligands based on 9,9′-spirobifluorene were obtained and characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis when possible. The formation of a Schiff base to give complexes with the formula [MCp*Cl(2′-CH=NR-2-py-SBF)] (M = Ir, Rh; R = alkyl or aryl (<b>10</b>–<b>12</b>)), through condensation of an amine, and the aldehyde group present in these new complexes was studied leading to a selective reactivity depending on the nature of the amine and the metal center. While the iridium complexes only react with aromatic amines, the rhodium derivative requires heat for those but can react at room temperature with aliphatic amines.
