Mechanistic studies of the thermolysis of tetraneopentyltitanium(IV). 1. Solution evidence that titanium alkylidenes activate saturated hydrocarbons

Studies of the thermolysis of Ti(CH2CMe3)4 in solution have been carried out in parallel with studies of the chemical mechanism responsible for its conversion to titanium carbide under CVD conditions. In hydrocarbon solutions, the neopentyl complex thermolyzes to eliminate 2.1 equiv of neopentane as the principal organic product. A deuterium kinetic isotope effect (k(a)((H))/k(a)((D))) = 5.2 ± 0.4) upon deuterating the alkyl groups at the α positions provides clear evidence that the initial step in the thermolysis is an α-hydrogen abstraction reaction to form neopentane. The activation parameters for this α-hydrogen abstraction process are ΔH* = 21.5 ± 1.4 kcal/mol and ΔS* = -16.6 ± 3.8 cal/(mol K). The titanium- containing product of this reaction is a titanium alkylidene, which in solution activates C-H bonds of both saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene and cyelohexane. No activation of the C-F bonds of hexafluorobenzene is seen, however. Under special circumstances, a second thermolysis pathway for TiNp4 can be detected, γ-hydrogen activation, but this pathway is intrinsically about 25 times slower than the α-hydrogen abstraction process.

Surface organometallic chemistry of titanium on silica-alumina and catalytic hydrogenolysis of waxes at low temperature

Ti(CH2tBu)4 (1) reacts selectively with the surface silanols of a silica-alumina partially dehydroxylated at 500 °C to provide the monosiloxy species [(=SiO)Ti(CH2tBu)3]SA (2a) and the bisiloxy specie

Low-Coordinated Titanium(III) Alkyl—Molecular and Surface—Complexes: Detailed Structure from Advanced EPR Spectroscopy

The structure of paramagnetic surface species is notoriously difficult to determine. For TiIII centers related to Ziegler–Natta catalysis, we demonstrate here that detailed structural information can be obtained by advanced EPR spectroscopy and DFT computations, benchmarked on molecular analogs. The hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) spectra obtained after reaction with 13C-labeled ethylene provides information about the coupling with a proton in the first coordination sphere of TiIII as well as significant 13C hyperfine coupling and thereby allows structural assignment of the surface species.
