  • Intermediate Oxidation State Tungsten Acetylacetonate Complexes
    Intermediate Oxidation State Tungsten Acetylacetonate Complexes Chetna Khosla A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Advisor: Professor Joseph L. Templeton Reader: Professor Maurice Brookhart Reader: Professor Cynthia Schauer Professor Valerie Ashby Professor H. Holden Thorp ABSTRACT Chetna Khosla: INTERMEDIATE OXIDATION STATE TUNGSTEN ACETYLACETONATE COMPLEXES (Under the direction of Professor Joseph L. Templeton) Previous work with tungsten(II) acetylacetonate complexes has focused on synthesis of complexes with -bound ligands (alkyne, nitrile, imine, ketone, aldehyde). In this work, 2 addition of methyl triflate (MeOTf) to W(CO)(acac)2(η -N≡CPh) produces the iminoacyl 2 complex [W(CO)acac)2(η -MeN=CPh)][OTf]. Displacement of the carbon monoxide in 2 + [W(CO)(acac)2(η -MeN≡CPh)] by isonitriles, bulky phosphines, and alkynes has been accomplished. The substitution of carbon monoxide by alkyne relieves the iminoacyl ligand of its role as a four-electron donor and enables further reduction of the C-N based ligand. Use 2 + of Na[HB(OMe)3] as a hydride source that attacks [W(RC≡CR′)(acac)2(η -MeN=CPh)] 2 yields the imine complex W(RC≡CR′)(acac)2(η -MeN=CHPh) with a diastereoselective ratio of 2:1. Addition of MeOTf leads to the final tungsten(II) iminium complex 2 [W(RC≡CR′)(acac)2(η -Me2N=CHPh)][OTf]. 2 Addition of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA) to W(CO)(acac)2(η -N≡CR) 2 2 results in oxidation of the metal center to form the W(IV) d metal complex W(O)(acac)2(η - N≡CR).

For example in group 14, SnII is more stable veloped since the isolation of the first silicon-silicon double than SnIV, whilst for the lightest congener CIV is more stable bond.
