摘要
The b2;-diketiminato fluoride complex (LTiFb>3b>) (1) (L = HC(CMeN(2,6-iPrb>2b>Cb>6b>Hb>3b>))b>2b>, “NacNac”) has been obtained using two synthetic routes, interaction of TiFb>4b> and NacNacKb7;2THF in toluene and interaction of LTiClb>3b> and 3 equiv. of Meb>3b>SnF in toluene. The trifluoro complex (LTiFb>3b>) (1) is soluble in the non-polar solvents toluene and hexane and moderately active in polymerization of ethylene; the activity is higher than that of LTiMeb>3b> and comparable with that of the oxo-bridged complexes LTiCl(bc;-O)b>2b>TiClL and LTiMe(bc;-O)b>2b>TiMeLb7;toluene. Compound 1 was characterized by single crystal X-ray structural analysis, elemental analysis, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Complex 1 in the solid state is a centrosymmetric dimer containing two LTiFb>2b> moieties connected by two bridging fluorines, whereas Cb>6b>Db>6b> and CDb>3b>CN solutions of 1 contain the monomeric complex at room temperature.
