Steric Manipulation of the Reductive Reactivity of Ytterbocenes toward 2-(((2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)imino)methyl)pyridine:  Insertion of the NC Bond into the Yb−Indenyl Bond or Oxidative Cleavage of the η5 Yb−Cp (Cp = C13H9, Cp*) Bond

Abstract: Unprecedented NC bond insertion into the η5 Yb−C9H7 bond occurs in the reaction of 2-(((2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imino)methyl)pyridine with (C9H7)2Yb(THF)2 and affords the Yb(III) derivative [Yb(η5-C9H7){N(2,6-i-Pr2C6H3)CH(C9H7)(C5H4N)}{2,6-i-Pr2C6H3NCH(C5H4N)•-}]. For the complexes Cp2Yb(THF)2 (Cp = C13H9, Cp*) coordinated by bulkier η5 ligands the same reaction results in an oxidative cleavage of the η5 Yb−Cp (Cp = C13H9, Cp*) bond and formation of [Yb{(2,6-i-Pr2C6H5NCH(C5H4N)•-}3] and [Yb(C5Me5){(2,6-i-Pr2C6H… Show more

“…[6] Numerous examples of coordination compounds containing the neutral closed-shell form (L 0 ) have been reported, [7] some of which display catalytic activity. [8] However, those incorporating the monoanionic radical form (LC À ) are restricted to a few first-row transition metals [9] and lanthanides, [10] while complexes with the closed-shell 2 e Àreduced dianionic form (L 2À ) are extremely rare. [9a, 11] We recently reported a unique anionic iridium(I) complex containing the dianionic (bpaÀ2 H) 2À ligand, [12] which is the 2 e À -reduced form of the a-iminopyridine ligand bpi (Scheme 1).…”

“…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.…”

“…The ligand induced metal cleavage from Cp ring was unambiguously established [6,7]. However, the similar cleavage of indenyl ring is rare [27]. At present we still cannot explain how the cleavage process takes place.…”
