Cyclometallated imine complexes with oxygen-functionalised side-chains: Effect of the nature of the functional group, chain length and charge on coordination of the oxygen
2008
Abstract Imines 1a – e derived from benzaldehyde or 3,4-dimethoxy benzaldehyde and ether- or alcohol-functionalised amines H 2 NR (R = C 2 H 4 OMe, C 3 H 6 OMe, C 2 H 4 OH, C 3 H 6 OH,) all undergo cyclometallation with [Pd(OAc) 2 ] 3 (in some cases the dimeric products 2 were isolated) and subsequently react with lithium chloride to give chloride complexes, which are dimeric 3a – c , or monomeric for the C 3 H 6 OH-functionalised complexes 4d , e which have a C,N,O tridentate imine. The chloride complexes subsequently react with triphenylphosphine, and in some cases pyridine, to give mononuclear complexes 5 and 6 , respectively with bidentate C,N imines. Treatment of 5 with silver salts leads to cations, the length of the tether (C2 or C3) and nature of the donor (ether or alcohol) and the counterion all effect whether or not the oxygen is coordinated.
