Synthesis of NPN-Coordinated Tantalum Alkyl Complexes and Their Hydrogenolysis: Isolation of a Terminal Tantalum Hydride Incorporating a Doubly Cyclometalated NPN Scaffold.
Inorganic Chemistry 2017 May 2
The closely related benzylene-linked diaminophosphines PhP(CH2 C6 H4 -o-NHPh)2 (AH2 ) and PhP(C6 H4 -o-CH2 NHXyl)2 (BH2 with Xyl = 3,5-Me2 C6 H3 ) were employed for the synthesis of tantalum(V) alkyls, which were then studied with respect to hydrogenolysis. In the case of AH2 , the tantalum trimethyl complex [Ta(A)Me3 ] (1) and the tantalum hydrocarbyl complex [Ta(A)(CH2 SiMe3 )(η2 -EtC≡CEt)] (2) were prepared from the ligand's dilithium salt (A)Li2 (diox). Upon hydrogenolysis of 1 and 2, the formation of methane and SiMe4 , respectively, was observed, but well-defined tantalum hydrides could not be detected. In the case of BH2 , the cyclometalated species [Ta(B*)(NMe2 )2 ] (3 with B* = κ4 -N,P,N,C-(PhP(C6 H4 -o-CH2 NXyl)(C6 H4 -o-CHNXyl))3- ) was isolated and converted to the corresponding diiodo species [Ta(B*)I2 ] (4). Treatment of 4 with LiCH2 SiMe3 resulted in the isolation of the corresponding dialkyl complex [Ta(B*)(CH2 SiMe3 )2 ] (5), which was converted to the doubly cyclometalated monoalkyl complexes [Ta(B**)(CH2 SiMe3 )(PMe3 )] (6 with B** = κ5 -C,N,P,N,C-(PhP(C6 H4 -o-CHNXyl)2 )4- ) and [Ta(B**)(CH2 SiMe3 )(dmpe)] (7) via reaction with PMe3 and dmpe, respectively. In contrast to 5 and 6, 7 was found to react cleanly with dihydrogen to afford the corresponding terminal tantalum(V) hydride [Ta(B**)(H)(dmpe)] (8). Upon reaction of 7 with D2 , the deuteride [Ta(d2 -B**)(D)(dmpe)] (9) was obtained and found to contain deuterium atoms in the methine positions of both tantalaaziridine subunits. The partially deuterated derivatives [Ta(B**)(D)(dmpe)] (10) and [Ta(d2 -B**)(H)(dmpe)] (11) were generated via reaction of 8 and 9 with PhSiD3 and PhSiH3 , respectively. Prior to the addition of gaseous D2 or H2 , no H/D scrambling was observed in 10 or 11, indicating that the exchange of the methine positions proceeds via addition of D2 or H2 across the tantalaaziridine Ta-C bonds.
