Abstract

The preparation and structural characterization of a series of group 4 complexes supported by 2,2′-phenylphosphinobis(4,6-di-tert-butylphenolate) ([OPO]^2-) are described. The reaction of either H₂[OPO] with Ti(OR)₄ (R = Et, ⁱPr) or Li₂[OPO] with TiCl₄(THF)₂ produced yellowish-orange crystals of Ti[OPO]₂, regardless of the stoichiometry of the starting materials employed. Comproportionation of the bis-ligand complex Ti[OPO]₂ with 1 equiv of TiCl₄(THF)₂ led to the formation of [OPO]TiCl₂(THF) as brownish-red crystals. Surprisingly, treatment of H₂[OPO] with [(Me₃Si)₂N]₂MCl ₂ (M = Zr, Hf), irrespective of the molar ratio, generated colorless crystals of the corresponding bis-ligand complex [OPO]₂M(OH ₂) as an aqua adduct. The solution and solid-state structures of these group 4 complexes were all characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography, respectively.
