Homoleptic complexes Ln(AlMe(4))(3) (Ln = La, Nd) can be straightforwardly utilized in salt metathetic exchange reactions with potassium 2,3,4,5-tetramethylphospholide (KTmp) or 3,4-dimethyl-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl)phospholide (KDsp) affording monophosphacyclopentadienyl hydrocarbyl complexes (eta(5)-PC(4)Me(4))Ln(AlMe(4))(2) and [eta(5)-PC(4)Me(2)(SiMe(3))(2)]Ln(AlMe(4))(2) (Ln = La, Nd). The solid-state structures reveal distinct metal size effects as evidenced by X-ray diffraction analyses of monomeric neodymium Tmp and Dsp derivatives as well as the dimeric lanthanum Tmp complex. Dimerization is accomplished by intermolecular P --> La donor contacts. Upon activation with [PhMe(2)NH][B(C(6)F(5))(4)] the monophosphacyclopentadienyl complexes initiate the polymerization of isoprene producing 1,4-trans-polyisoprene (tPIP > 87%) with moderate activity (approximately 30 kg(PIP) mol(Ln)(-1) h(-1)).
均配型配合物Ln(AlMe(4))(3)(Ln = La,Nd)可直接用于与2,3,4,5-四甲基磷负离子钾(KTmp)或3,4-二甲基-2,5-双(三甲基硅基)磷负离子(KDsp)的盐复分解交换反应,得到单磷环戊二烯基烃基配合物(η(5)-PC(4)Me(4))Ln(AlMe(4))(2)和[η(5)-PC(4)Me(2)(SiMe(3))(2)]Ln(AlMe(4))(2)(Ln = La,Nd)。固态结构显示出明显的金属尺寸效应,这通过钕的Tmp和Dsp衍生物单体以及镧的Tmp配合物二聚体的X射线衍射分析得到证明。二聚作用通过分子间P→La给体接触实现。用[PhMe(2)NH][B(C(6)F(5))(4)]活化后,单磷环戊二烯基配合物引发异戊二烯聚合,以中等活性(约30 kg(PIP) mol(Ln)(-1) h(-1))生成1,4-反式聚异戊二烯(tPIP > 87%)。
