Abstract
Treatment of titanyl sulfate in about 60 nM sulfuric acid with NaL, (L OEt = [(η5-C5H5)Co-{(P(O)(OEt) 2}3]-) afforded the μ-sulfato complex [(LOEtOEtTi)2(μ-O)2(μ-SO 4)] (2). In more concentrated sulfuric acid (> 1 M), the same reaction yielded the di-μ-sulfato complex [(LOEtTi) 2(μ-O)(μ-SO4)2] (3). Reaction of 2 with HOTf (OTf = triflate, CF3SO3) gave the tris-(triflato) complex [LOEtTi(OTf)3] (4), whereas treatment of 2 with Ag(OTf) in CH2Cl2 afforded the sulfato-capped trinuclear complex [{(LOEt)3Ti3(μ-O) 3}(μ3-SO4){Ag(OTf)}][OTf] (5), in which the Ag(OTf) moiety binds to a μ-oxo group in the Ti3(μ-O) 3 core. Reaction of 2 in H2O with Ba(NO3) 2 afforded the tetranuclear complex (LOEt) 4Ti4(μ-O)6 (6). Treatment of 2 with [{Rh(cod)Cl}2] (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene), [Re(CO)5Cl], and [Ru(tBu2-bpy)(PPh3)2Cl2] (tBu2bpy = 4,4′-dl-tert-butyl-2,2′-dipyridyl) in the presence of Ag(OTf) afforded the heterometallic complexes [(L OEt)2Ti2(O)2(SO4){Rh- (cod)}2][OTf]2 (7), [(LOEt)2Ti(O) 2-(SO4){Re(CO)3}][OTf] (8), and [{(L OEt)2Ti2(μ-O)}(μ3-SO 4)(μ-O)2{Ru-(PPh3)(tBu2bpy)}] [OTf]2 (9), respectively. Complex 9 is paramagnetic with a measured magnetic moment of about 2.4 μB. Treatment of zirconyl nitrate with NaLOEt in 3.5 M sulfuric acid afforded [(LOEt) 2Zr(NO3)][LOEtZr(SO4)-(NO 3)] (10). Reaction of ZrCl4 in 1.8 M sulfuric acid with NaLOEt in the presence Na2SO4 gave the μ-sulfato-bridged complex [LOEtZr(SO4)(H 2O)]2(μ-SO4) (11). Treatment of 11 with triflic acid afforded [(LOEt)2Zr][OTf]2 (12), whereas reaction of 11 with Ag(OTf) afforded a mixture of 12 and trinuclear [{LOEtZr(SO4)(H2O)}3(μ 3-SO4)][OTf] (13). The ZrIV triflato complex [LOEtZr-(OTf)3] (14) was prepared by reaction of L OEtZrF3 with Me3SiOTf. Complexes 4 and 14 can catalyze the Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-cyclohexadiene with acrolein in good selectivity. Complexes 2-5, 9-11, and 13 have been characterized by X-ray crystallography.
