Synthesis of homoleptic barium alkoxides and aryloxides and their reactions with Al(CH(3))(3): a convenient route to heterometallic species

Inorg Chem. 2005 Jul 25;44(15):5194-6. doi: 10.1021/ic0503129.

Abstract

Reactions of metallic Ba with benzofuranol (dbbfoH) or diethylene glycol give homoleptic and homonuclear complexes Ba(dbbfo)(2)(dbbfoH)(2).3dbbfoH and Ba{O(CH(2)CH(2)O)(2)}{O(CH(2)CH(2)OH)(2)}(2) (60-89%). Both compounds and formerly described Ba{O(CH(2)CH(2)O)(2)Me}(2) react with Al(CH(3))(3) to yield trinuclear heterobimetallic low-coordinated barium compounds with structure and geometry depending on the reaction stoichiometry and crystallization procedure.
