“…45 Unsurprisingly, the complex L 2 AlMe 2 shows a distorted-tetrahedral geometry (Figure 5), originating from a relatively acute N1− Al−N2 angle of 84.68(5)°of the pyrrolaldiminato ligand, which is comparable to those in complex 5-tert-butyl-2-[(2,6diisopropylphenyl)aldimino]pyrrole aluminum dimethyl (85.5(2)°) and its chloride precursor (88.2(2)°). 44 Also, the Al−C12(13) (1.966(2) and 1.951(2) Å) and Al−N1(2) bond lengths (1.981(2) and 1.911(2) Å) lie in the expected range.

“…However, the use of these ligands in main‐group chemistry is less developed. The most widely studied main‐group aryliminopyrrolide complexes are based on aluminum . In particular, these Al‐complexes find usage as catalysts in lactide ring‐opening polymerization (ROP) and guanylation .…”
A range of silanes was synthesized by the reaction of HSiCl3 with iminopyrrole derivatives in the presence of NEt3 . In certain cases, intramolecular hydrosilylation converts the imine ligand into an amino substituent. This reaction is inhibited by factors such as electron-donating substitution on Si and steric bulk. The monosubstituted ((Dipp) IMP)SiHMeCl ((Dipp) IMP=2-[N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)iminomethyl]pyrrolide), is stable towards hydrosilylation, but slow hydrosilylation is observed for ((Dipp) IMP)SiHCl2 . Reaction of two equivalents of (Dipp) IMPH with HSiCl3 results in the hydrosilylation product ((Dipp) AMP)((Dipp) IMP)SiCl ((Dipp) AMP=2-[N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)aminomethylene]pyrrolide), but the trisubsitituted ((Dipp) IMP)3 SiH is stable. Monitoring the hydrosilylation reaction of ((Dipp) IMP)SiHCl2 reveals a reactive pathway involving ligand redistribution reactions to form the disubstituted ((Dipp) AMP)((Dipp) IMP)SiCl as an intermediate. The reaction is strongly accelerated in the presence of chloride anions.

A series of amido phosphinoxide and amido phosphinimine ligands that are electronic variations of monoanionic N,O- and N,N-ketiminates have been prepared and employed to examine the coordination chemistry of aluminium. Oxidation of the previously established N-(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)-2,6-dialkylaniline in the presence of H(2)O(2) or organic azides RN(3) (R = 2,6-C(6)H(3)(i)Pr(2), SiMe(3)) led to phosphinoxides (H[NO] 1a-b) and phosphinimines (H[NN] 1c-d), respectively. Alkane elimination reactions of these protio-ligand precursors with trialkylaluminium in toluene or pentane solutions afforded cleanly the corresponding organoaluminium complexes, including dimethyl 2a-d, diethyl 3a-d and diisobutyl derivatives 4a-b and 4d. Solution NMR studies revealed Cs symmetry for these organoaluminium species, in which the α-hydrogen atoms are all diastereotopic. The correlation between the steric congestion of these molecules and the degree of resolution of the multiplet signals corresponding to the diastereotopic α-hydrogen atoms observed by the (1)H NMR spectroscopy is of particular interest. Dichloroaluminium complexes 5c-d were prepared in high yields by protonolysis of MeAlCl(2) with 1c-d. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of 2c-d, 3a, 3d, 4a, and 4d elucidated a mononuclear, distorted tetrahedral core for all of these aluminium species. Interestingly, complexes 2c-d are active initiators for catalytic ring-opening oligomerization of ε-caprolactone, whereas 2a-b are rather inactive, highlighting the significance of the steric hindrance imposed by the amido phosphinimine ligands, as compared to that imposed by the phosphinoxide counterparts.
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.
