Titanium complexes arene

The only route to dibenzenetitanium so far described is the reaction of titanium atoms with benzene the reductive routes that give access to arene complexes of Group V and VI metals fail for titanium. Although yields of about 30% are reported for the preparation of dibenzene-, ditoluene-, and dimesitylenetitanium, the reactions are more sensitive than most to the effect of excess metal. Unless the ligand-to-titanium ratio is high and the rate of deposition of titanium vapor kept low, the products seem to be catalytically decomposed by finely divided Ti metal 4a, 7).

Some examples of polynuclear polymeric metal arene complexes, obtained by cryosynthetic reactions from tin, titanium, vanadium, chromium, and molybdenum, are represented [202,542,543]. However, the preparative possibilities of such syntheses are not yet clear [201,202]. 

Sixteen-electron bis(arene) complexes of formally zero-valent zirconium, hafnium, and titanium have been made by cocondensation of the metal atoms with bulky ligands such as 1,3,5-tri-t-butylbenzene71 ... 

Diamagnetic titanium(ll) arene complexes ( ) -C6H6)Ti[(ju,-X)2(AlX2)]2 (X = C1, Br, 1) (20) have been prepared by the reduction of TiX4 (X = Cl, Br, 1) with A1 in the presence of AICI3 in CeHe (equation 17). The arene ligands in these complexes are rf coordinated to the titanium, which exhibits square pyramidal coordination with four halides of... 

The unsubstituted para-t-butyl calixarenes themselves complex metals via their aryloxide groups. Since aryloxide complexes are frequently oligomeric, the simple calixarenes do not give monomeric complexes. Aryloxides are hard ligands, therefore they readily form complexes with oxo-philic hard metal ions such as alkali metals, early transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. Complexation is often inferred because the calixarene acts as a carrier for the metal ion from an aqueous to an organic phase. With the /wa-/-butylcalix[ ]arenes in alkaline solution, a value of n = 6 gives the best carrier for lithium(I), sodium(I), and potassium(I), with a value of n 8 giving the best carrier for rubidium(I) and caesium(I).15,16 Titanium(IV) complexes have been characterized,17-19 as well as those of niobium(V) and tantalum(V).20-22 These complexes are classified as... 

The macrocyclic calix[4]arene complex (Ti(Bu -calix[4]arene))2 was prepared from Ti(NMe2)4 and the neutral ligand. One of the four O atoms of each ligand bridges the two titanium centers.673 The related complex TiCl(But-calix[4]arene(0Me)(0)3) (61) was synthesized by a salt metathesis reaction. Subsequent displacement of the Cl by alkyl or aryl groups was readily accomplished.674...

Comparison of IR-spectra of CEP and CEP-PVP shows that bands at 1620, 950 and 930 cm characterizing non-saturation of CEP disappear after grafting of PVP and band at 1600 cm associated with pyridine ring appears. After treatment of CEP-PVP with dibutoxyzirconium dichloride bands at 1640 cm, 1600 cm, and 1500 cm with shoulder at 1529 cm appear. Similar picture can be also observed in the case of treatment of CEP-PVP with dibutoxytitanium dichloride. One could assume that in these cases, coordination with zirconium and titanium takes place not only with nitrogen atom but also with t-electron system of the pyridine ring, i.e. an arene complex is formed. 

An example of a macrocycle with oxygen donors to support a Ti catalyst for lactide polymerization has been reported by Frediani et a/. " The authors described several titanium chloride complexes bearing calix[4]arene ligands, which act as catalysts for solvent-free lactide polymerization (Figure 18). These complexes acted as dual-site catalysts with two polymer chains growing from one metal center. 

Chelating diamide titanium complexes of the type [RN(CH2)3NR]TiMe2 (R = 2,6- Pr2CeH3, 2,6-Me2CeH3) have been found to catalyze the living aspecific polymerization of a-olefins at ambient temperature, when activated with FAB, thereby producing narrow polydispersity polymers (MJMn = 1.05—1.09). ° To explain the fact that activities are suppressed when the polymerizations are performed in the presence of toluene, a cationic alkyl arene complex has been proposed, although no spectroscopic evidence or isolation has been provided in the paper. 

The kinetic and thermodynamic selectivity for reactions of a titanium-imido complex with different types of C-H bonds has been determined. Reactions with substrates that possess primary and secondary C-H bonds occur selectively at the primary C-H bond. In addition, reactions with mixtures of alkanes and arenes occur selectively at the arene C-H bond. Like the stabilities of most low-valent, late metal complexes, the primary alkyl complex is thermodynamically more stable than the secondary alkyl complex, and the aryl complexes are more stable than the alkyl complexes. Activation of olefins at the ally-lie position occurs more slowly than reaction at the vinyl position, but when it does occur, the reaction generates a stable Ti -allyl complex.

The titanium complexes of calixarene were obtained by Olmstead et al. [44] and Bott et al. [45], who examined their x-ray characteristics. Recent research in that field has been conducted by Rudkevich et al, [46]. They prepared calix[4]arene-triacids as receptors for lan-tanides. 

Recently some information became available on a new type of highly active one-component ethylene polymerization catalyst. This catalyst is prepared by supporting organometallic compounds of transition metals containing different types of organic ligands [e.g. benzyl compounds of titanium and zirconium 9a, 132), 7r-allyl compounds of various transition metals 8, 9a, 133), 7r-arene 134, 185) and 71-cyclopentadienyl 9, 136) complexes of chromium]. 

Inter- and intramolecular (cyclometallation) reactions of this type have been ob-.served, for instance, with titanium [408,505,683-685], hafnium [411], tantalum [426,686,687], tungsten [418,542], and ruthenium complexes [688], Not only carbene complexes but also imido complexes L M=NR of, e.g., zirconium [689,690], vanadium [691], tantalum [692], or tungsten [693] undergo C-H insertion with unactivated alkanes and arenes. Some illustrative examples are sketched in Figure 3.37. No applications in organic synthesis have yet been found for these mechanistically interesting processes.
