ChemInform Abstract: cis- and trans-Dichloro Chelate Complexes of Niobium(IV): Synthesis and Structure of trans-Dichloro(NN′-ethylenebis(acetylacetonylideneiminato)-(2-))niobium(IV) and cis-Dichloro(7,16-dihydro-6,8,15,17-tetramethyldibenzo-(b,i)(1,4,8,11)tetra-azacyclotetradecinato(2-))niobium(IV)-Acetonitrile(1/2).
Abstract
The title complexes (I) and (II) are prepared by treating NbCl4·2THF in THF with the disodium salt of N,N'-ethylenebis(acetylacetonylideneamine) or the dilithium salt of the macrocyclic ligand.
ChemInform Abstract
The title complexes (I) and (II) are prepared by treating NbCl4·2THF in THF with the disodium salt of N,N'-ethylenebis(acetylacetonylideneamine) or the dilithium salt of the macrocyclic ligand. Both compounds are paramagnetic and contain a single unpaired electron. The structures of (I) (space group P21/c, Z = 8) and (II) (P1, Z=2) are determined by X-ray analysis.
