| Abstract
| - Mono- and binuclear Schiff base-supported titanium imido compounds are prepared by reaction of [Ti(NR)Cl2(py)3] (R = But or 2,6-C6H3Me) with the disodium salts of substituted salen ligands. The solid-state structures of [Ti(N-2,6-C6H3Me2)(Et2salen)] and [Ti(NR){(μ-MeO)2salen}]2 (R = But or 2,6-C6H3Me2) are described.
- New mono- and binuclear titanium imido complexes supported by tetradentate, dianionic N2O2-donor Schiff baseligands were prepared in good yield from the readily available [Ti(NBut)Cl2(py)3] (1a). Thus treatment of 1awith Na2[substituted-salen] gave monomeric [Ti(NBut)(substituted-salen)] where substituted-salen = Et2salen (2)or But4salen (4). In contrast, the binuclear complex [Ti(NBut){μ-(MeO)2salen}]2 (5) was obtained from 1a andNa2[(MeO)2salen]. The less sterically crowded compounds 2 and 5 undergo tert-butyl imide/arylamine exchangereactions to form [Ti(N-2,6-C6H3Me2)(Et2salen)] (3) and [Ti(N-2,6-C6H3Me2){μ-(MeO)2salen}]2 (6), respectively,whereas 4 does not exhibit this kind of reactivity. The compound 3 can also be obtained directly from Na2[Et2salen]and [Ti(N-2,6-C6H3Me2)Cl2(py)3] (1b).
