Lutetium complexes with tetraphenylethylene dianion. Synthesis and structure

Russian Chemical Bulletin Aims and scope

Abstract

The reactions of dipotassium and disodium salts of the tetraphenylethylene dianion with LuCl3(THF)3 or CpLuCl2(THF)3 yielded the homoleptic ate-complexes [Na(THF)5][Lu(Ph2CCPh2)2] (1) and [K(THF)5][Lu(Ph2CCPh2)2] (2) or the heteroleptic complex CpLu(Ph2CCPh2)(THF)2 (4), respectively. Recrystallization of complex 1 from a diglyme—THF mixture afforded [Na(diglyme)2][Lu(Ph2CCPh2)2](THF)0,5 (3). Recrystallization of complex 4 from 1,2-dimethoxyethane gave [CpLu(Ph2CCPh2)(DME)](DME) (5). The structures of complexes 3 and 5 were established by X-ray diffraction analysis. In both complexes, the unusual η6-coordination of the (Ph2CCPh2)2− dianion to lutetium is observed. The Lu-C distances vary from 2.441(2) to 2.643(2) Å (3) and from 2.470(3) to 2.763(3) Å (5). In complexes 3 and 5, a redistribution of the C-C bond lengths was observed in the Ph groups coordinated to lutetium. Studies by 1H, 13C, and 2D NMR spectroscopy demonstrated that the η6-coordination of the tetraphenylethylene dianion in homoleptic ate-complexes 1 and 2 is retained in a THF solution, whereas the coordination of this dianion in heteroleptic complex 4 changes from η6 to η4.
