New borate compounds were synthesized using Schiff base ligands. The charged borate species, [LB(thf)](+)OTf(-), effectively catalyzed propylene oxide oligomerization, unlike neutral counterparts.

Area of Science:

  • Organometallic Chemistry
  • Catalysis
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Schiff base ligands are versatile in coordination chemistry.
  • Borate complexes offer tunable electronic and steric properties.
  • Catalysis of epoxide oligomerization is crucial for polymer synthesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel borate compounds utilizing substituted salicylidene-o-aminophenol ligands.
  • To investigate the catalytic activity of these borates in propylene oxide oligomerization.
  • To explore the structural features and reactivity of boron-silicon linked compounds.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of Schiff base ligands and their corresponding borate complexes.
  • Characterization using melting point, NMR, IR, and elemental analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • A series of neutral borate complexes (LBOR, L(Cl)BOR, L(Br)BOR) were successfully prepared.
    • Unique boron-silicon linked compounds (LBOSiPh(3), L(Br)BOSiPh(3)) were formed.
    • The cationic borate species [LB(thf)](+)OTf(-) demonstrated catalytic activity in propylene oxide oligomerization.
    • Neutral borate compounds showed no catalytic activity under tested conditions.

    Conclusions:

    • The nature of the borate species (cationic vs. neutral) dictates its catalytic performance.
    • Substituted salicylidene-o-aminophenol ligands provide a platform for developing novel boron-based catalysts.
    • The study highlights the potential of charged borate complexes in organic transformations.
