Control of Conformations of Piperazidine-Bridged Bis(phenolato) Groups: Syntheses and Structures of Bimetallic and Monometallic Lanthanide Amides and Their Application in the Polymerization of Lactides

A series of bimetallic and monometallic lanthanide amides stabilized by a piperazidine-bridged bis(phenolato) ligand were successfully prepared, and the factors controlling the formation of these lanthanide amides were elucidated. Reactions of Ln[N(TMS)2]3(μ-Cl)Li(THF)3 (TMS = SiMe3; THF = tetrahydrofuran) with a piperazidine-bridged bis(phenol), H2[ONNO][4-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)piperazidine], in a 2:1 molar ratio in THF at 60 °C gave the anionic bimetallic bis(phenolato) lanthanide amido complexes [ONNO]{Ln[N(TMS)2]2(μ-Cl)Li(THF)}2 [Ln = Y (1), Er (2), Eu (3), Sm (4)], whereas the same reactions conducted at room temperature gave the monometallic bis(phenolato) lanthanide amides [ONNO]LnN(TMS)2(THF) [Ln = Y (5), Sm (6)]. Complex 1 can be transformed to a neutral bimetallic bis(phenolato) yttrium amido complex, [ONNO]{Y[N(TMS)2]2}2 (7), by heating a toluene solution to 80 °C. Complex 7 can also be conveniently prepared by the reaction of the yttrium amide Y[N(TMS)2]3 with H2[ONNO] in a 2:1...
