Syntheses, Structures, and Binding Constants of Cyclic Ether and Thioether Adducts of Soluble Cadmium(II) Carboxylates. Intermediates in the Homopolymerization of Oxiranes and Thiiranes and in Carbon Dioxide Coupling Processes
1997
A synthetic methodology for the preparation of a large variety of η3-HB(3-Phpz)3Cd(acetate) adducts is presented which involves replacement of toluene in the η3-HB(3-Phpz)3Cd(acetate) solvate complex by the appropriate cyclic ether or cyclic thioether. In this manner, adducts of THF, dioxane, propylene oxide, cyclohexene oxide, and propylene sulfide were isolated. The solid-state structures of several of these complexes were determined by X-ray crystallography, revealing a six-coordinate complex where the acetate ligand is shown to be fairly symmetrically bonded to the cadmium center. In methylene chloride solution, the cyclic ether or thioether readily dissociates to afford the five-coordinate complex, as demonstrated by 113Cd NMR. A quantitative assessment of the binding of these base adducts of η3-HB(3-Phpz)3Cd(acetate) was determined by measuring the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constants for the five- and six-coordinate derivatives. The presence of one sharp 113Cd resonance in this equil...
