Synthesis and structural characterisation of lithium and sodium 2,6-dibenzylphenolate complexes

Abstract: The stoichiometric treatment of 2,6-dibenzylphenol (HOdbp) or 2,2"-dimethoxy-2,6-dibenzylphenol (HOdbpOMe) with n-butyllithium or sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (the latter as a solution in THF) in Et2O or DME affords the dimeric alkali metal phenolates [{M(Odbp)(L)}2] (M = Li; L = Et2O (1), L = DME (2), M = Na; L = Et2O (5), L = DME (6)), [{Li(OdbpOMe)}2] (3) and [{M(OdbpOMe)(L)}2] (M = Li; L = DME (4), M = Na; L = THF (7), L = DME (8)). Complexes 3 and 7 exhibit -OdbpOMe methoxy coordination and all four so… Show more

“…The O–Na–O angles within the Na 4 O 4 cube are between 88.79(8) and 95.45(8)° (Table 5). The overall molecular structure of 8 is quite comparable with those reported for [Na( μ 3 ‐Ombp)(DME)] 4 23 and [Na(OC 6 H 4 Me‐4)(dme)] 4 24. In contrast to cage compound 8 , in these latter compounds each metal atom is ligated to a solvent molecule.…”

“…Additional intramolecular bonding as in 8 is also observed in the structures of [Na 4 (salphen) 2 (dme) 2 ] and [Na 4 (salen) 2 (dme) 2 ] 26, where only two of the alkali metals are bonded to the Schiff base, whereas the other two complete their coordination sphere with the oxygen atom of a dme donor. The Na–OC(C 4 H 5 S) 3 bond lengths lie in the range found for [Na(OC 6 H 4 Me‐4)(dme)] 4 [2.314(0) Å] 24 and [Na( μ 3 ‐Ombp)(DME)] 4 (2.33 Å) 23, although the O–Na–O and Na–O–Na angles are different. These variations of the angles can be explained by the steric difference of the ligands and solvents ligated to the sodium atoms.…”

“…This is also characteristic of related compounds. [18][19][20] The distance between the sodium atoms in dimer 2 is 2.7371(17) Å. This value slightly exceed the Na…Na distances in the complexes where sodium atoms are connected only due to two μ 2 -OPhbridging fragments (2.955-3.326 Å).…”

“…These values slightly exceed the Na-O distances in the complexes where sodium atoms are connected only due to μ 2 -OPh-bridging fragments with various substituents in the aromatic ring (2.2016(17)-2.2847(10) Å). [16][17][18] Due to the coordination nature of Na-μ 2 -N and Na-O(DME) interactions, corresponding distances in 2 vary over a wider range. This is also characteristic of related compounds.…”
