Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/DT9870000155

A number of alkyl and alkylidene complexes of niobium and primarily tantalum containing 2,6-dialkylphenoxide ligation, OC6H3R2-2,6 (R = Me, Pri, or But) have been synthesized and characterized.For the sterically less demanding 2,6-dimethyl- and 2,6-di-isopropyl-phenoxides a series of compounds (R' = H, SiMe3, or Ph) can be readily obtained by alkylation of the corresponding mixed chloro-aryloxide.The remaining two aryloxides are more resistant to further substitution.Spectroscopic evidence supports the ?-bonded compounds adopting a trigonal-bipyramidal structure with trans-axial aryloxide ligands.This structure was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray diffaction study on .The di- and mono-alkyls and have also been isolated and the latter shown to adopt a square-pyramidal structure in the solid state with an axial methyl group.In contrast the reaction of t2-2,6)2Cl3> with Li(CH2SiMe3) or Mg(CH2Ph)2 leads to the mixed alkyl-alkylidene complexes t2-2,6)2(=CHR')(CH2R')> (R' = SiMe3 or Ph).The presence of the alkylidene functional group was confirmed both spectroscopically and by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study on the trimethylsilyl derivative.A related complex, i2-2,6)2(=CHSiMe3)(CH2SiMe3)>, was obtained by photolysis of i2-2,6)2(CH2SiMe3)3>.
