Complexation of TiF4 with PhP(O)[CH2C(O)NMe2]2 in CH2Cl2: Appearance of a Chiral Center at Chelate Coordination

详细

The reaction of TiF₄ with PhP(O)[CH₂C(O)NMe₂]₂ in CH₂Cl₂ has been studied by ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy. It has been found that the major reaction products are chelate tetrafluoro complex (η²-L)TiF₄ where the ligand is coordinated to the titanium ion through the P=O and C=O groups and cis-TiF₄(ОР···L)₂ where both ligands are coordinated to the central ion through the more basic P=O groups. Spectral features of the tetrafluoro chelate have been studied, which have been attributed for the first time to the appearance of a chiral center at chelate coordination. The character of manifestation of conformational isomerism of the chelate ring and chiral center in the chelating ligand in mixed octahedral complexes of d⁰ transition metal fluorides in ¹⁹F NMR spectra is discussed.
