Neodymium(iii) phosphinidene complexes supported by pentamethylcyclopentadienyl and hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate ligands

Abstract

Synthesis of new neodymium(III) phosphinidene complexes from a neodymium(III) phosphinidene iodide [(μ-PC6H3-2,6-iPr2)Nd(I)(THF)3]2 (1) was studied. The metathesis reaction of 1 with KC5Me5 (KCp*) gave a neodymium(III) pentamethylcyclopentadienyl phosphinidene complex [(μ-PC6H3-2,6-iPr2)(C5Me5)Nd(THF)]2 (2), and that with potassium hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate KHB(3-phenylpz)3 (KTpPh) generated a neodymium(III) hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate phosphinidene complex [(μ-PC6H3-2,6-iPr2)(TpPh*)Nd(THF)]2 (3) and a C–H bond activation byproduct 4(N,N′,N″,CPh)-TpPh]TpPhNd (4). Complexes 2–4 have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
