Half-Sandwich Lanthanide(III) Complexes Coordinated by Two α-Iminopyridine Radical Anions

Abstract: The reaction of ytterbocene (C 5 H 4 Me) 2 Yb(THF) with 2 equiv of N-2,6-diisopropylphenylimino-2-pyridine (Ipy) occurs with oxidative cleavage of one Yb-Cp bond and oxidation of the ytterbium(II) ion and affords the half-sandwich Ybwas synthesized by the metathesis reaction of (C 5 Me 5 )GdCl 2 (THF) 3 with a 2-fold molar excess of [Ipy •-]K þ in THF. The structures of all complexes were proved by the X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies. The investigation of magnetic properties of complexes [LnCp{(2,6-i-… Show more

“…The palladium centre in complex 2 can be considered as palladium(0), and in good agreement it adopts a typical trigonal planar geometry expected for d 10 -ML 3 complexes. The above data suggest that coordination of palladium to [1] tigers an internal two-electron transfer from the starting complex [1] to the palladium(II) centre.…”

“…[ 8 ] However, those incorporating the monoanionic * radical form (L • ) of the ligand are restricted to a few bis(ligand)-metal complexes of the first-row transition metal ions, [9] and lantanides, [10] and complexes with the closed-shell 2e reduced dianionic form of these ligands (L 2 ) are extremely rare. [9a, 11] We recently reported a unique method to prepare an anionic iridium(I) complex containing dianionic {bpa-2H} 2 ligand, [12] which is the 2e reduced form of the -iminopyridine ligand bpi (Scheme 1).…”

“…The current investigation focuses on iminopyridine chelates. Our choice of the iminopyridine ancillary ligand results from its redox-active nature that helps to stabilize low-oxidation-state metal precursors and to mediate electron transfer upon binding and reduction of substrates . Toward this goal, we have recently reported two dinucleating bis(iminopyridine) ligands, L 1 and L 2 (see Figure ) .…”

“…The a-iminopyridine N-2,6-diisopropylphenylimino-2-pyridine (IPy) has also been introduced in lanthanide chemistry. [33,34] In this context, a potassium derivative of the monoanionic form of a-iminopyridine was prepared in situ, but not further characterized.[34] The doubly reduced dianion has only been observed in two magnesium complexes so far. [35] In contrast, the reaction of "GaI" with a-iminopyridine leads to reductive coupling of the coordinated ligand to give neutral diamido-digallium complexes.…”
