Synthesis and Characterization of MoOI2(PMe3)3 and Use of MoOX2(PMe3)3 (X = Cl, I) in Controlled Radical Polymerization

Abstract: Keywords: Molybdenum / Oxido ligands / Phosphane ligands / Halide exchange / Atom transfer radical polymerizationComplex MoOCl 2 (PMe 3 ) 3 smoothly reacts with NaI in acetone to produce MoOI 2 (PMe 3 ) 3 in good yields. The geometry of the compound is mer-cis octahedral, that is, identical to that of the dichloride precursor, as shown by NMR spectroscopy and by an X-ray crystallographic study. Electrochemical investigations of MoOX 2 (PMe 3 ) 3 show irreversible oxidation waves at E p,a = +0.18 and +0.39 V fo… Show more

“…This presumes that the ATRP process is taking place through Mo IV /Mo V -X redox couples. In this respect, we would like to point out that the Mo IV complexes MoOX 2 (PMe 3 ) 2 (X = Cl, I) have indeed been shown to efficiently catalyze the ATRP of styrene, yielding polymers with M n close to theory and quite low M w /M n [38]. As already mentioned above, our next investigations will aim at isolating the products of this oxidative addition process and to verify their ability to catalyze ATRP.…”

“…The iodide in [MoOI 2 (PMe 3 ) 3 ] is completely replaced by chloride in CHCl 3 , and by bromide in 1‐bromoethylbenzene. The iodide complex catalyzes atom transfer radical polymerization of styrene, yielding polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution . [MoOI 2 (PMe 3 ) 3 ] was further converted, by treatment with a tetradentate phosphane ligand, 1,1,4,8,11,11‐hexaphenyl 1,4,8,11‐tetraphosphaundecane (prP 4 ), and NaBPh 4 , into [MoOI(prP 4 )](BPh 4 ), which was then electrolytically reduced at – 2.1 V (vs. Ag electrode) under N 2 in THF to give trans ‐[Mo(N 2 ) 2 (prP 4 )] .…”

“…In order to make the Mo IV oxido precursor more reactive towards the coordination of prP 4 , the chloro ligands of 1 were subsequently exchanged for iodides, leading to the complex mer ‐ cis [Mo(O)I 2 (PMe 3 ) 3 ] ( 2 ) which had been prepared and characterized by Poli et al recently (Scheme , center) 13. Like its chloro congener, 2 exhibits an AX 2 coupling Scheme in the 31 P NMR spectrum, this time with a J AX coupling constant of –22.7 Hz.…”
