Chapter 2 Figure 2.14: Structure of [Nb(OEt)5]2. The sensitivity of metal chlorides towards alcohols decreases with the progressing electropositive character of the metal. An exothermic reaction occurs when NbCl5 is added to an alcohol, producing a niobium chloride alkoxide as displayed below 76 : NbCl5 + 3 ROH → NbCl2(OR)3 + 3 HCl (2.13) The replacement of the chlorides by the methoxide groups does not proceed to completion without the addition of an activating agent like ammonia. Comprehensive studies have been carried out for NbCl5 complexes with ROH (R = Me, Et, Pr) in the solid state to determine influencing factors and products formed. 2.7.3 93 Nb-NMR Studies Figure 2.15: Structure of [NbCl2(OMe)3]2. Karaliota et al. 77 found that the molecular constitution of the methanol solutions is dependent on the NbCl5 concentration, the temperature and storage time. 1 H-, 13 C- and 93 Nb-NMR spectroscopy was used to identify the substitution products formed in the solvolysis of NbCl5 by MeOD. The chloro-methoxo complexes contain bridging methoxo groups and act as precursors for the formation of organic products like MeCl and Me2O. Results confirmed previous reports 78,79 that only [NbCl2(OMe)3] is formed in non-polar solvents. Their investigation also indicated that the formation of 76 C. Sanchez, J. Livage, M. Henry, F.

Chapter 2 other NbCl5-x(OMe)x products is heavily dependent on the storage time of the sample as indicated in Table 2.5. The number of coordinated MeO groups per metal atom was calculated from the integrals of peaks corresponding to terminal-MeO (MeO-ter) and briging-MeO (MeO-br) using 1 H NMR spectroscopy. In the NMR experiments the ratio MeO-coordinated/Nb was calculated as follows, such that α is a percentage and the quantities in the square brackets are the NMR integrals: MeOcoord / Nb = α x (initial moles of MeOD) / (moles of Nb) α = [MeOcoord] = 34 x 100 (2.14) From the 1 H NMR spectrum, the number of coordinated MeO groups (terminal and bridging) was calculated per metal atom. As seen in Table 2.5, the ratio MeOcoord/Nb decreases with an increase in NbCl5 concentration. The decrease in MeOcoord/Nb is due to the conversion of methoxo groups into Me2O and MeCl, but the percentage of free methanol remains the same, indicating that the MeCl was derived from the coordinated methoxide groups. The 93 Nb NMR spectra of NbCl5 in MeOD (1.18 M) over time, is displayed in Figure 2.16 (at 4 °C). The two bands at -500 and -850 ppm are assigned to [NbCl4(OMe)] and [NbCl2(OMe)3] respectively. 80,81,82 After considerable time a broad band appeared in the -600 to -800 ppm region with a shoulder on the side at -850 ppm (Figure 2.16). These resonances were attributed to species with a higher number of oxygens around the Nb centre. After 37 days the solution was heated to 50 °C, then cooled to 25 °C and a band at -1100 ppm was observed. This could be due to the coordination of 5 methoxo groups per Nb centre or the coordination of four methoxo groups and a Nb=O group. 80 G. R. Lee, J. Crayston, Dalton Trans., 3073, 1991. 81 R.
