NacNac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tautomers of a substituted HNacNac ligand precursor and an idealized complex (right) of the conjugate base (M = metal, L = other ligand)

NacNac is a class of anionic bidentate ligands. 1,3-Diketimines are often referred to as "HNacNac", a modification of the abbreviation Hacac used for 1,3-diketones. These species can exist as a mixture of tautomers.[1]

Preparation of ligands and complexes

[edit]

Acetylacetone and related 1,3-diketones condense with primary alkyl- or arylamines resulting in replacement of the carbonyl oxygen atoms with NR groups, where R = aryl, alkyl. To prepare 1,3-diketimines from bulky amines, e.g. 2,4,6-trimethylanilines, prolonged reaction times are required. 2,6-Diisopropylaniline is a common bulky building block.

Deprotonation of HNacNac compounds affords anionic bidentate ligands that form a variety of coordination complexes.[2] Some derivatives with large R groups can be used to stabilize low valent main group and transition metal complexes.[3] Unlike the situation for the acetylacetonates, the steric properties of the coordinating atoms in NacNac ligands is adjustable by changes in the R substituent. Attachment to a metal center is usually carried out by initial deprotonation of HNacNac with n-butyllithium; the lithium derivative is then treated with a metal chloride to eliminate lithium chloride. In some cases, HNacNacs also serve as charge-neutral 1,3-diimine ligands.

NacNac ligands are diimine analogues of acetylacetonate ligands. An intermediate class of ligands are derived from monoimino-ketones.[5][6][7]
