Titanium complexes mononuclear

Uemura et al. [49] found that (R)-1,1 -binaphthol could replace (7 ,7 )-diethyl tartrate in the water-modified catalyst, giving good results (up to 73% ee) in the oxidation of methyl p-tolyl sulfoxide with f-BuOOH (at -20°C in toluene). The chemical yield was close to 90% with the use of a catalytic amount (10 mol %) of the titanium complex (Ti(0-i-Pr)4/(/ )-binaphthol/H20 = 1 2 20). They studied the effect of added water and found that high enantioselectivity was obtained when using 0.5-3.0 equivalents of water with respect to the sulfide. In the absence of water, enantioselectivity was very low. The beneficial effect of water is clearly established here, but the amount of water needed is much higher than that in the case of the catalyst with diethyl tartrate. They assumed that a mononuclear titanium complex with two binaphthol ligands was involved, in which water affects the structure of the titanium complex and its rate of formation. 

A series of mono-Gp phosphinimido mononuclear and binuclear titanium complexes have been obtained by reactions of Cp TiCl3 with trimethylsilyliminophosphines by a dehalosilylation (Scheme 242). The molecular structures of some of these complexes have been determined by X-ray diffraction.649... 

Many recent investigations in this field of chemistry have been directed toward the synthesis and study of diyne titanium complexes. The TiCp2 precursor compound Cp2Ti(Me3SiC2SiMe3) reacts with 1,4-disubstituted 1,3-butadiynes to give five-membered titanacyclocumulenes, the structures and stability of which depend strongly on the diyne substituents. Mononuclear or binuclear homobimetallic derivatives can be formed. For the mononuclear complexes, an equilibrium between the cyclocumulene and an alkyne structure is possible (Scheme 561). Binuclear complexes may exhibit different structural types (Scheme 562). 

Titanium imido complexes supported by amidinate ligands form an interesting and well-investigated class of early transition metal amidinato complexes. Metathetical reactions between the readily accessible titanium imide precursors Ti( = NR)Cl2(py)3 with lithium amidinates according to Scheme 84 afforded either terminal or bridging imido complexes depending on the steiic bulk of the amidinate anion. In solution, the mononuclear bis(pyridine) adducts exist in temperature-dependent, dynamic equilibrium with their mono(pyiidine) homologs and free pyridine. 

There is only one reported mononuclear hydrazido(2—) complex for the titanium group, [Ti(r/5-CjHj)2(NNSiMe3)2].498 Other hydrazido complexes are known but involve bridging hydrazido groups (see below). For reasons not yet fully understood, titanium is apparently reluctant to form four electron metal-nitrogen multiple bonds.

This can be achieved by using the cis molybdenum(VI)dioxo ion instead of titanium(IV). In this ion two comers of the octahedron at the molybdenum are already blocked by oxygen atoms and only two catechol units can be bound to the metal. Thus, reaction of ligand 3-H4 with MoC>2(acac)2 in the presence of potassium carbonate leads to a mononuclear macrocydic complex [3Mo0212 in which a loop-type conformation is stabilized at the peptide (Scheme 1.3.3) [23]. (Similar... 

The crystal structures of 13 (Fig. 5) and 12 provide unambiguous proof for the presence of Ti—H—Si three-center bonds (57). To emphasize the similarities with mononuclear complexes, we consider one Si—H bond of the silane (Cp2Ti)PhSiH2 to be added to the titanium center of another Cp2Ti—SiH2Ph in 12 and to a Cp2TiH molecule in 13 (type I). In both complexes oxidative addition is arrested at a point corresponding to H in Eq. (5). 

Ti(C5Me4SiMe2NBut)Me2 is synthesized by the reaction of the corresponding dichloro compound with LiMe at low temperature. The dimethyl complex reacts with B(C6F5)3 to give the mononuclear cationic complex [Ti(C5Me4SiMe2NBut)Me]+[MeB(C6F5)3] with coordination of the anion to the cationic titanium fragment. The...
