The thorium bipyridyl metallocene (Cp)Th(bipy) (; Cp = η-1,2,4-(MeC)CH) shows a rich reactivity toward a series of small molecules. For example, complex may act as a synthon for the (Cp)Th(II) fragment as illustrated by its reactivity toward to CuI, hydrazine derivative (PhNH), Ph ( = S, Se), elemental sulfur (S) and selenium (Se), organic azides, CS, and isothiocyanates. Moreover, in the presence of polar multiple bonds, such as those in ketones PhCO and (CH)CO, aldehydes -MePhCHO and -ClPhCHO, seleno-ketone (-MeOPh)CSe, nitriles PhCN, PhCHCN, CHCN, and -(NC)Ph, and benzoyl cyanide PhCOCN, C-C coupling occurs to furnish (Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)((CH)CO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(-MePhCHO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(-ClPhCHO)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy){(-MeOPh)CSe}] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCN)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCHCN)] (), (Cp)Th[(bipy)(CHCN)] (), [(Cp)Th]{μ-(bipy)-Ph(CN)} (), and (Cp)Th{(bipy)[PhC(CN)O]} (), respectively. Nevertheless, ketazine (PhCH═N) or benzyl nitrile PhCHCN forms the dimeric complexes [(Cp)Th][μ-NC(Ph)(bipy)] () and (Cp)Th[(bipy){C(═CHPh)NH}] (), respectively. In contrast, C-N bond cleavage and C-C coupling processes occur upon addition of isonitriles MeCNC and CHNC to to yield the thorium isocyanido amido complexes (Cp)Th4-(MeC)bipy () and (Cp)Th4-(CH)bipy (), respectively. Furthermore, a single-electron transfer (SET) process ensues when 1 equiv of CuI is added to to yield the Th(VI) bipyridyl iodide complex (Cp)Th(I)(bipy) ().
钍联吡啶茂金属(Cp)Th(bipy)(;Cp = η-1,2,4-(MeC)CH)对一系列小分子表现出丰富的反应活性。例如,配合物 可作为(Cp)Th(II)片段的合成子,这可由其对CuI、肼衍生物(PhNH)、Ph ( = S,Se)、元素硫(S)和硒(Se)、有机叠氮化物、CS和异硫氰酸酯的反应活性说明。此外,在极性多重键存在的情况下,如在酮PhCO和(CH)CO、醛 -MePhCHO和 -ClPhCHO、硒酮(-MeOPh)CSe、腈PhCN、PhCHCN、CHCN和 -(NC)Ph以及苯甲酰腈PhCOCN中,会发生C-C偶联反应,分别生成(Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCO)]()、(Cp)Th[(bipy)((CH)CO)]()、(Cp)Th[(bipy)(-MePhCHO)]()、(Cp)Th[(bipy)(-ClPhCHO)]()、(Cp)Th[(bipy){(-MeOPh)CSe}]()、(Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCN)]()、(Cp)Th[(bipy)(PhCHCN)]()、(Cp)Th[(bipy)(CHCN)]()、[(Cp)Th]{μ-(bipy)[-Ph(CN)](bipy)}()和(Cp)Th{(bipy)[PhC(CN)O]}()。然而,酮连氮(PhCH═N)或苄腈PhCHCN分别形成二聚配合物[(Cp)Th][μ-NC(Ph)(bipy)]()和(Cp)Th[(bipy){C(═CHPh)NH}]()。相反,将异腈MeCNC和CHNC加入到 中时会发生C-N键断裂和C-C偶联过程,分别生成钍异氰基酰胺配合物(Cp)Th[4-(MeC)bipy](NC)()和(Cp)Th[4-(CH)bipy](NC)()。此外,当向 中加入1当量的CuI时会发生单电子转移(SET)过程,生成Th(VI)联吡啶碘化物配合物(Cp)Th(I)(bipy)()。
