3,5-Dimethyl and 3,5-Di-tert-butylpyrazolato Complexes with Alkali Metals: Monomeric, Dimeric, Cluster, and 1D Chain Structures
文摘
The pyrazolato complexes [(Me2pz)(THF)Li] (1), [(tBu2pz)Li]4 (2), [(tBu2pzH)(tBu2pz)Li]2 (2a), [(Me2pz)Na] (3),[(tBu2pz)Na](4), [(tBu2pz)6(OH)Na7] (4a), [(tBu2pz)(18-crown-6)Na] (4b), and [(tBu2pz)K] (5) were synthesized bymetalation reactions between R2pzH (R = Me, tBu) and alkyllithium, elemental sodium, or potassium. All thecomplexes were characterized by spectroscopic methods and microanalysis, and in addition, the crystal structuresof 2, 2a, 3, 4a, 4b, and 5 were obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They show monomeric, dimeric, cluster,and 1D chain structures in the solid state. Ab initio calculations on the structure and stabilities of the monomericpzM complexes were performed at the MP2 level of theory showing good agreement with the coordination preferencesof the pyrazolato ligand to a particular alkali ion.
