Their applications in rare earth chemistry were studied and discussed in this thesis. / 1-(1-Indenyl)-1,2-carborane was synthesized from the reaction of indene epoxide with dilithium salt of carborane. Reaction of this ligand with Ln(CH₂C₆H₄-o-NMe₂)₃ (Ln = Y, Gd, Er, Dy) led to the formation of [η⁵:σ-(C₉H₆)C₂B₁₀H₁₀]Ln[σ:σ-(CH₂C₆H₄-o-NMe₂)](THF)₂ (Ln= Y, Gd, Er, Dy). The metal-carbon σ bond in these complexes was reactive toward unsaturated polar organic substrates, such as carbodiimide, isocyanide, isothiocyanate, and isocynate. They reacted with R-N=C=N-R (R= TMS, tBu) to form mono-insertion products. The metal-cage carbon σ bond in the mono-insertion product was also active toward unsaturated polar organic substrates to form di-insertion complexes. And the indenyl-carboranyl gadolinium complex can be protonated to give ionic species. / [Me₃NH][7,8-CH₂OCH₂-7,8-C₂B₉H₁₀] was prepared by the deboration reaction of (CH₂OCH₂)C₂B₁₀H₁₀. Ln(CH₂C₆H₄-o-NMe₂)₃ (Ln = Y, Gd, Er) reacted with this ligand to form half-sandwich metallacarboranes [η⁵ -(CH₂OCH₂)C₂B₉H₉]Ln[σ:σ-(CH₂C₆H₄-o-NMe₂)](THF)₂. Unsaturated polar organic substrates, such as isocyanide, isothiocyanate, and isocynate can insert into the M-C bond to form mono-insertion complexes or di-insertion complexes depending on the steric factor of the substrate. / Acid-base reactions of [η⁵:σ-(C₉H₆)C₂B₁₀H₁₀]Ln[σ:σ-(CH₂C₆H₄-o-NMe₂)](THF)₂ and [σ:η⁵-O(CH₂)₂C₂B₉H₉]Y[σ:σ-(CH₂C₆H₄-o-NMe₂)](THF)₂ were studied.

Chapter 1 presents an overview of the lanthanide chemistry with cyclopentadienyl and cyclopentadienyl-free ligands. The chemistry of divalent lanthanide is also briefly reviewed. / Chapter 2 describes the preparation and characterization of a series of lanthanide(III) amides derived from the bidentate 2-pyridyl amido ligand [N(SiMe3)(2-C5H3 N-6-Me)] (L 1): [Ln(L1)3] [L1=, Ln = Yb (7), Sm (8), Dy (9)], [Ln(L 1)3(THF)] [Ln = Pr (10), Gd (11)], and [(L1)2Ln(mu-OBut) 2Li(THF)x] (x = 2, Ln = Nd (12), Sm ( 13), Eu (14); x = 1, Ln = Dy (15), Er ( 16)). / Chapter 3 describes the preparation and characterization of divalent lanthanide amides derived from L1 and the more bulky [N(SiButMe2)(2-C5H 3 N-6-Me)] (L2) ligands, namely [Ln(Ln) 2(tmeda)] (n = 1, Ln = Yb (17), Eu (20); n = 2, Ln = Yb (18)), [(L1)3YbK(THF)] (19), and [(L2)3EuK(tmeda)] ( 21). Complexes 17-21 were prepared by direction reaction of LnI2(THF)), (Ln = Eu or Yb) with the potassium salts of L 1 and L2. Attempts to synthesize the analogous Sm(II) and Dy(II) derivatives were unsuccessful. The divalent samarocene, [(C 5H3(SiMe3)2)2Sm(THF)] ( 24), was also prepared in our work. Subsequent reaction of 24 with 1,3-dicyclocarbodiimide (DCC) in THF yielded the dinuclear Sm(III) bisamidinate compound [(Cp")2Sm(NC6H11) 2CC(H11C6N)2Sm(Cp")2] ( 25). / Chapter 4 describes the preparation and characterization of divalent Sm, Eu and Yb complexes derived from the bulky dianionic [R 2Si(NC6H3Pri2-2,6) 2]2- (R = Me or Ph) ligands.

An investigation of novel reactivity and bonding in rare earth metal complexes

Johnson, Kevin Ross David January 2012 (has links)
The synthesis, structure and reactivity of organolanthanide complexes supported by a family of novel bis(phosphinimine)carbazole and bis(phosphinimine)pyrrole pincer ligands is presented. Through the systematic development of the ligand frameworks, rare earth metal species with unique structure and reactivity were encountered. A variety of complexes that exhibited unusual bonding modes were prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Modulation of the ligand frameworks allowed for rational manipulation of the steric and electronic environment imparted to the metal. Incorporation of a variety of N-aryl rings (mesityl, phenyl, para-isopropylphenyl and 2-pyrimidine) and PR2 moieties (PPh2, PO2C2H4 and PMe2) into the ligand design led to rare earth complexes that revealed diverse reaction behaviour. In particular, C–H bond activation, sigmatropic alkyl migration and ring opening insertion reactivity were observed. Kinetic and deuterium labeling studies are discussed with respect to the unique reaction mechanisms encountered during the study of these highly reactive organometallic rare earth complexes. / xxvi, 247 leaves : ill.

Alkylation of [eta5:sigma-Me2C(C5 H4)(C2B10H10)]TiCl(NMe 2) generates [eta5:sigma-Me2C(C5 H4)(C2B10H10)]Ti(R)(NMe 2) (R = Me, CH2TMS), which offers a unique opportunity to observe the direct competition among Ti-C(alkyl), Ti-N and Ti-C(cage) bonds in the insertion reactions with unsaturated molecules. The results indicate that unsaturated molecules insert preferably into the Ti-C (alkyl) bond over the Ti-N bond, while the Ti-C (cage) bond remains intact in all reactions. Several imido-titanium complexes [eta5:sigma-Me2C(C 5H4)(C2B10H10)]Ti(=NR)(Py) and [eta5:sigma-Me2C(C9H6)(C 2B10H10)]Ti(=NtBu)(Py) have been prepared by salt metathesis reactions or imido exchange reactions. These imido complexes can react with a variety of unsaturated molecules to give imido exchange products or [2+2] cycloaddition species. The imido complex [eta5:sigma-Me2C(C5H4)(C 2B10H10)]Ti(=NtBu)(Py) can also catalyze the hydroamination of phenyl acetylene. The key intermediate metallacyclic complex has been isolated and structurally characterized. / By taking the advantage of a cyclic organic group and an icosahedral carborane as well as the bridging ligand, trivalent phosphorus-bridged ligand iPr2NP(C9H7)(C2B 10H11) is designed and successfully synthesized. It is readily converted into the corresponding mono- and di-lithium salts, which have found many applications in transition metal chemistry. A series of organolanthanide and group 4 metal complexes derived from this new ligand have been prepared and structurally characterized. It is found that this ligand can effectively prevent lanthanocene chlorides from ligand redistribution reactions. [eta 5:sigma-iPr2NP(C 9H6)(C2B10H10)]Zr(NMe 2)2 can catalyze ethylene polymerization upon activation with MMAO and initiate the polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone. / iPr2NP(C9H 7)(C2B10H11) can be converted into the pentavalent derivative iPr2NP(O)(C9H 7)(C2B10H11) by treatment with H 2O2. Interactions of M(NMe2)4 with iPr2NP(O)(C9H7)(C2 B10H11) give unexpected products [sigma.sigma- iPr2NP(O)(C9H6)(C2 B10H11)]M(NR2)2. To investigate the similarities and differences between iPr2NP(O)(C 9H7)(C2B10H11) and its fluorenyl derivative in chemical properties, iPr 2NP(O)(C13H9)(C2B10H 11) is also prepared in a similar manner. It reacts easily with Zr(NMe 2)4 to give the amine elimination product [sigma.sigma- iPr2NP(O)(C13H8)(C 2B10H10)]Zr(NMe2)2(THF). However, treatment of iPr2NP(O)(C 2B10B11)(C2B10H11) with Ti(NMe2)4 affords amine elimination/deboration complex [sigma:eta5-iPr 2NP(O)(C13H9)(C2B9H 10)]Ti(NMe2)2. / Wang Hong. / "February 2005." / Adviser: Xie Zuomei. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 67-01, Section: B, page: 0265. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2005. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 168-180). / Electronic reproduction.

Design, Synthesis and Applications of Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks based on 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid

Unknown Date (has links)
The organic linker 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (BTC) has been widely used in the construction of lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) due the high symmetry and versatile nature of its structure. Under identical hydrothermal reaction conditions, it was discovered that lanthanide BTC MOFs will form one of four unique structures based on its location in the series (La-Sm, Eu-Tb, Dy-Tm, Yb-Lu). This is uncommon in LOF materials, as in many cases the same compound can be produced for all of the lanthanides or two different structures may be observed for the first and second half of the series. Descriptions and comparisons of these structures as discussed herein, noticeably the decrease in coordination number and the lanthanide-oxygen bond lengths as the lanthanide atomic number increases. This thesis also attempts to use these compounds to catalyze a model mixed-aldol reaction. Two closely related BTC compounds from yttrium and uranium are also presented. The structure of the yttrium BTC MOFs was identical to that of the Eu, Gd and Tb compounds. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
