Oxo- and imido-vanadium(V) metal complexes supported by bis(phenolate)-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands were synthesized structurally identified. In the presence of [(Ph3P)2N]Cl ([PPN]Cl), saturated NHC oxo-vanadium showed activity in coupling CO2 cyclohexene oxide (CHO) into cis-cyclohexene carbonate (cis-CHC). More importantly, complex bearing less electron-donating benzann...

The reaction of lithiated picolines and [TiCl3(η(5)-C5Me5)] leads to several bridging or terminal imido compounds, each of which can be selectively formed by controlling the stoichiometry and temperature. Specifically, the dinuclear imido-bridged [TiCl(η(5)-C5Me5)(μ-NR)]2 (1a, NR = 2-imido-3-picoline; 1b, NR = 2-imido-5-picoline) species and the unusual Ti-Li imido-amido heterobimetallic comple...

Reaction of the dimeric zirconium imido compound [Zr2(mu-NAr)2Cl4(THF)4] with tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methyl silane very selectively gave [Zr{(Me2pz)2Si(Me)NAr}Cl3] (1), a highly active pre-catalyst for ethylene polymerisation; a more general and versatile route to N3 donor heteroscorpionate compounds was achieved via the protio ligand (Me2pz)2CHSi(Me)2N(H)iPr for which neutral and cationic ...

A nitrogen-based analogue of the Schrock and Clark “yl-ene-yne” complex, W(CBu)(CHBu)(CH2Bu )(dmpe), has been prepared. The new complex is the nitrido, imido, amido anion [NCr(NPh)(NPr2)2] , which was structurally characterized with the [K(crypt-2.2.2)] counterion. The “Cr–N 1-2-3” complex was prepared from NCr(NHPh)(NPr2)2, which exists as this nitrido–amido tautomer, rather than the bis(imido...

The synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of the mononuclear uranium complex [((ArO)(3)tacn)U(III)(NCCH(3))] is reported. The uranium(III) complex reacts with organic azides to yield uranium(IV) azido as well as uranium(V) imido complexes, [((ArO)(3)tacn)U(IV)(N(3))] and [((ArO)(3)tacn)U(V)(NSi(CH(3))(3))]. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic, and computational studies of thi...

A novel imido-modified SiO2-supported Ti/Mg Ziegler-Natta catalyst for ethylene and ethylene/1-hexene polymerization is investigated. The catalyst is prepared by modification of (SiO2/MgO/MgCl2)TiClx Ziegler-Natta catalysts via supporting vanadium species followed by reaction with p-tolyl isocyanate as imido agents, to get the merits from both the SiO2-supported imido vanadium catalyst and the ...

In this manuscript, a new series of 1,2,4-triazole-3-ones containing imin function was synthesized from 5-(4-bromobenzyl)-4-amino-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one and aromatic aldehyde by using microwave irradiation technique via schiff base reaction. Firstly, ethyl imido-p-bromophenylacetate hydrochloride (2) according to the pinner method in literature. Then, compound 2 reacted with carbazate p-bro...

Mild deprotonation of a 2-pyridyl (py)-functionalized phosphoric triamide [PO(NHpy)(3)] in the absence of an external base was studied in the presence of various silver(I) salts. Interesting examples of octa- and hepta-nuclear Ag(I) complexes coordinated to imido and pyridyl groups were obtained when more reactive Ag(I) salts, such as AgClO(4) and AgBF(4), were used, while the less reactive AgN...
