Abstract

This paper explores the interaction of divalent [Sm(DippForm)2(thf)2] with substrates containing azo linkages. Treatment of [Sm(DippForm)2(thf)2] with trans-azobenzene results in formation of mononuclear [Smlll(DippForm)2(Ph2N2)(thf)] ⋅ 3THF (1) or dinuclear [Smlll(DippForm)(Ph2N2)(thf)]2 ⋅ 4THF (2) and [Sm(DippForm)3] depending on the reaction stoichiometry, where azobenzene has undergone either a one or two electron reduction. These reactions parallel the corresponding reactions of [Sm(C5Me5)2(thf)2], but the coordination of [N2Ph2]− in 1 differs significantly from that of {Sm(C5Me5)2(Ph2N2)(thf)}. On the other hand, the structure of 2 is similar to that of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl analogue. The reaction of [Sm(DippForm)2(thf)2] with 1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole also yielded a trivalent samarium complex containing benzotriazolate (btz), [Smlll(DippForm)2(btz)(thf)] ⋅ THF (3), and suggests more utilization of 1H-1,2,3-benzotriazole in divalent lanthanoid reduction chemistry is possible.
