The synthesis of heterobimetallic {[Ti](C⋮CR1)2}MX {[Ti] = (η5-C5H4SiMe3)2Ti; M = Cu, R1 = SiMe3: 4a, X = SCF3; 4b, X = SEt; M = Ag, R1 = tBu: 5a, X = OC(O)Me; 5e, X = NO3; M = Ag, R1 = SiMe3: 5b, X = OC(O)Me; 5c, X = OC(O)Ph; 5d, X = NO3} is described. These compounds together with {[Ti](C⋮CR1)2}CuX (4c, R1 = SiMe3, X = SC6H4CH2NMe2-2; 4d, R1 = tBu, X = SC6H4CH2NMe2-2) can be used for the preparation of a large variety of different organo−copper(I) and −silver(I) species. The titanium−copper complexes {[Ti](C⋮CR1)2}CuR2 [R1 = SiMe3: 6a, R2 = C6F5; 6b, R2 = C6H2(CF3)3-2,4,6; 6c, R2 = C6H2Ph3-2,4,6; R1 = tBu: 6d, R2 = C6H2Ph3-2,4,6; 7, R2 = Me] are accessible by the reaction of 4c or 4d with suitable organic nucleophiles. Monomeric organo−silver(I) compounds can be prepared by using different starting materials: While the silver(I) aryls {[Ti](C⋮CSiMe3)2}AgR2 [8a, R2 = C6H2(CF3)3-2,4,6; 8b, R2 = C6H2Ph3-2,4,6] are only available by the reaction of 5b with LiC6H2(CF3)3-2,4,6 or BrMgC6H2Ph3-2,4,6, the silver(I) methyl species {[Ti](C⋮CR1)2}AgMe (9a, R1 = SiMe3; 9b, R1 = tBu) can be synthesized by using 5a, 5b, 5d, or 5e as starting materials. While compounds 6−8 are stable under the reaction conditions applied, 9a already starts to decompose at low temperature: The heterobimetallic titanium−silver acetylide {[Ti](C⋮CSiMe3)(C⋮CAg)}2 (10) is formed by nucleophilic substitution of one of the alkynyl Me3Si groups, whereby SiMe4 is eliminated. Moreover, compounds 6−9 react with Br2 to produce R2−Br along with {[Ti](C⋮CR1)2}MBr (M = Cu; 11a, R1 = tBu; 11b, R1 = SiMe3; M = Ag, 11c, R1 = SiMe3), which yield with equimolar amounts of LiR2 or BrMgR2 the starting materials 6−9 back.The solid-state structures of 4a, 5c, 6c, and 8b are reported. All complexes contain a monomeric (η2-alkyne)2M(η1-X) (4, 5) or (η2-alkyne)2M(η1-R2) (6−9) entity in which the group 11 metal atom M is trigonally coordinated by the two alkynyl ligands C⋮CR1 and the η1-bonded groups X or R2, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
