Early transition metal complexes containing 1,2,4-triazolato and tetrazolato ligands: synthesis, structure, and molecular orbital studies.

Several early transition metal complexes bearing 1,2,4-triazolato and tetrazolato ligands have been prepared by reaction of the pyrazolato complexes Ti(tBu(2)pz)(4-x)Cl(x) (tBu(2)pz = 3,5-di-tert-butylpyrazolato; x = 1, 2) and M(tBu(2)pz)(5-x)Cl(x) (M = Nb, Ta: x = 2, 3) with the sodium or potassium salts derived from 1,2,4-triazoles and tetrazoles. The X-ray structure analysis of Ti(tBu(2)pz)(2)(Me(2)C(2)N(3))(2) shows eta(2)-coordination of the 1,2,4-triazolato ligands, while in Ti(tBu(2)pz)(3)(C(2)H(2)N(3)) and Nb(tBu(2)pz)(3)(Me(2)C(2)N(3))(2) the analogous groups are joined in a eta(1)-fashion in the solid-state structure. Solution NMR studies at different temperatures suggest transition states involving eta(2)-1,2,4-triazolato ligands for the complexes containing eta(1)-1,2,4-triazolato ligands in the solid state. X-ray crystal structures of analogous tetrazolato complexes Ti(tBu(2)pz)(3)(PhCN(4)) and Nb(tBu(2)pz)(3)(PhCN(4))(2) show eta(1)-coordination of the 2-nitrogen atoms of the tetrazolato ligands. Molecular orbital calculations have been carried out on several model titanium complexes and provide detailed insight into the bonding between early transition metal centers and 1,2,4-triazolato and tetrazolato ligands. The eta(2)-coordination mode of 1,2,4-triazolato and tetrazolato ligands is predicted to be more stable than the eta(1)-coordination mode by 13.8-5.2 kcal/mol.

Rhodium/iridium-titanium azaheterometallocubanes.

Treatment of [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(mu-NH)]3(mu3-N)] (1) with the diolefin complexes [[MCl(cod)]2] (M = Rh, Ir; cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) in toluene afforded the ionic complexes [M-(cod)(mu3-NH)3Ti3(eta5-C5Me5)3(mu3-N)]Cl [M = Rh (2), Ir (3)]. Reaction of complexes 2 and 3 with [Ag(BPh4)] in dichloromethane leads to anion metathesis and formation of the analogous ionic derivatives [M(cod)(mu3-NH)3Ti3-(eta5-C5Me5)3(mu3-N)][BPh4] [M = Rh (4), Ir (5)]. An X-ray crystal structure determination for 5 reveals a cube-type core [IrTi3N4] for the cationic fragment, in which 1 coordinates in a tripodal fashion to the iridium atom. Reaction of the diolefin complexes [[MCl(cod))2] (M = Rh, Ir) and [[RhCl(C2H4)2]2] with the lithium derivative [[Li(mu3-NH)2(mu3-N)-Ti3(eta5-C5Me5)3(mu3-N)]2] x C7H8 (6 C7H8) in toluene gave the neutral cube-type complexes [M(cod)(mu-NH)2(mu3-N)Ti3-(eta5-C5Me5)3(mu3-N)] [M = Rh (7), Ir (8)] and [Rh(C2H4)2(mu3-NH)2(mu3-N)Ti3(eta5-C5Me5)3(mu3-N)] (9), respectively. Density functional theory calculations have been carried out on the ionic and neutral azaheterometallocubane complexes to understand their electronic structures.

Titanium alkali metal nitrido complexes.

Treatment of [(Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(mu-NH))3(mu3-N)] with alkali metal bis(trimethylsilyl)amido reagents in toluene afforded the complexes [M(mu3-N)(mu3-NH)2[Ti3(mu5-C5Me5)3(mu3-N)]]2 (M = Li (2), Na, (3), K (4)). The molecular structures of 2 and 3 have been determined by X-ray crystallographic studies and show two azaheterometallocubane cores [MTi3N4] linked by metal-nitrogen bonds. Reaction of the lithium derivative 2 with chlorotrimethylsilane or trimethyltin chloride in toluene gave the incomplete cube nitrido complexes [Ti3(eta5-C5Me5)3(mu-NH)2(mu-NMMe3)(mu3-N)] (M = Si (5), Sn (6)). A similar reaction with indium(I) or thallium(I) chlorides yielded cube-type derivatives [M(mu3-N)(mu3-NH)2[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)3(mu3-N)] (M=In (7), Tl (8)).

Ammonolysis of mono(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) titanium(IV) derivatives.

Ammonolyses of mono(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) titanium(IV) derivatives [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)X3] (X = NMe2, Me, Cl) have been carried out in solution to give polynuclear nitrido complexes. Reaction of the tris(dimethylamido) derivative [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(NMe2)3] with excess of ammonia at 80-100 degrees C gives the cubane complex [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)]4(mu3-N)4] (1). Treatment of the trimethyl derivative [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me3] with NH3 at room temperature leads to the trinuclear imido-nitrido complex [[Ti(eta/5-CsMes)(mu-NH)]3(mu3-N)] (2) via the intermediate [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me]2(mu-NH)2] (3). The analogous reaction of [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me3] with 2,4,6-trimethylaniline (ArNH2) gives the dinuclear imido complex [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me])2(mu-NAr)2] (4) which reacts with ammonia to afford [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(NH2)]2(mu-NAr)2] (5). Complex 2 has been used, by treatments with the tris(dimethylamido) derivatives [Ti(eta5-C5H5-nRn)(NMe2)3], as precursor of the cubane nitrido systems [[Ti4(eta5-C5Me5)3(eta5-C5H5-nRn)](mu3-N)4] [R = Me n = 5 (1), R = H n = 0 (6), R = SiMe3 n = 1 (7), R = Me n = 1 (8)] via dimethylamine elimination. Reaction of [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Cl3] or [Ti(eta5-C5Me5)(NMe2)Cl2] with excess of ammonia at room temperature gives the dinuclear complex [[Ti2(eta5-C5Me5)2Cl3(NH3)](mu-N)] (9) where an intramolecular hydrogen bonding and a nonlineal nitrido ligand bridge the "Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Cl(NH3)" and "Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Cl2" moieties. The molecular structures of [[Ti(eta5-C5Me5)Me]2 (mu-NAr)2] (4) and [[Ti2(eta5-C5Me5)2Cl3(NH3)](mu-N)] (9) have been determined by X-ray crystallographic studies. Density functional theory calculations also have been conducted on complex 9 to confirm the existence of an intramolecular N-H...Cl hydrogen bond and to evaluate different aspects of its molecular disposition.
