Abstract

Two new bis(imino)pyridine ligands L1, L2 (L1 = 2,6-bis[1-(4-bromophenylimino)]pyridine, L2 = 2,6-bis[1-(4-methylphenylimino)]pyridine) have been prepared. Their compounds [CrCl3L1] (I) and [Cr(Cl)(μ-Cl)(L2′)]2 (II) (L2′ = 6-bis(6-methylquinoline)pyridine) for olefin oligomerization were obtained by hydrothermal methods, during which L2′ was appeared from L2, and characterized by elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray analysis (CIF files CCDC nos. 1025448 (I),1025447 (II)), IR spectra and melting point test. Compound I is a mononuclear compound, while compound II, bridged with the chlorine atoms, is a binuclear compound. The transformation mechanism between L2 and L2′ is also studied, and the possible reason is due to the presence of the electron-donating groups as substituents on L2. The subsequent studies on that will be carried on.
