Chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used as received except for toluene which was dried by passage over alumina. Synthesis of [Zr(Tfaa)4] was done under Schlenk conditions. ZrCl4 (218.8 mg, 0.9389 mmol) was added to TfaaNa (663.4 mg, 3.768 mmol, 4eq) in dry toluene (50 ml). This slurry was refluxed for 16 h at 80°C before filtration of the remaining precipitates. The filtrate was recrystalized at -23°C to yield crystals suitable for data collection. Spectroscopic data: 19F NMR (C6D6, 564.77 MHz, p.p.m.): -75.3; IR (ATR) ν(CO): 1533 cm-1.
The aromatic, methine, and methyl H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions (C—H = 0.93–0.98) and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and methine, and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl protons. Torsion angles for methyl protons were refined from electron density.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Zirconium complexes containing diketonato ligands have been reported in the past (Silverton & Hoard, 1963; Allard, 1976; Clegg, 1987; Elder et al., 1969; Calderazzo et al., 1998; Davis & Einstein, 1978). The following diketonato ligand complexes have been reported; acetylacetone (acacH), hexafluoroacetylacetone (hfaaH), tropolone (tropH) and trifluoroacetylacetone (tfaaH). Our research group's interest is in the solvated form of trifluoroacetylacetonato-zirconium(IV) complexes. The title compound is presented as an example of a toluene solvated species.
The title compound is composed of an eight-coordinate zirconium metal centre in which the four O,O-donating bidentate tfaa-ligands are arranged around the metal centre to give a distorted square antiprismatic geometry. The molecule has an inversion centre on the metal with two bidentate ligands on either side including a non-disordered toluene solvate molecule found in a 1:1 ratio to the zirconium complex. The bidentate ligands are coordinated in an alternating configuration with respect to the CF3 groups. This ligand interchange can be visualized as four fins or propellar blades around the metal centre. The distorted square antiprism is defined by the intersection of the two planes formed by the ligand-backbone (O—C—C—C—O) and the O—Zr—O bite angle, which bend inward at an angle of 19.84 - 20.23°. Within the bidentate ligand structural representation, the Zr—O1 (CF3-side bond) and Zr—O2 (CH3-side bond) bond distances are unequal, varying by 0.034 - 0.040 Å. The bite angles of the bidentate ligands to the metal centre are 75.27 (5) and 75.41 (5)°, respectively.
π-π Stacking is observed between the two toluene solvate molecules C100—C106 and C100—C106 (-1/2 + x, 0.5 - y, -1/2 + z) with an interplanar distance of 3.548 Å and a centroid-to-centroid distance of 4.933 Å. Weak C—H-π intermolecular interactions are observed between the toluene solvate and the tfaa-moiety: C105—H105 to C12 (3.786 Å, 172.96 °) and C106—H10D to C14 (3.702 Å, 67.74 °), respectively.
Compared to a recently published structure (Kurat'eva et al., 2007) of the unsolvated complex the deviation in characteristics between the solvated and unsolvated species are minimal. The Zr—O bond length on the CF3-side of the acetylacetonato group, is shorter than the CH3-side bond by an average of 0.035 Å. The angles at which the ligands bend out of the O—Zr—O plane show the most notable difference, with the steric interaction of the toluene molecule distorting the two fins formed on the zirconium complex. This observation is further clarified by an overlay of the solvated and unsolvated zirconium complexes, which has an RMS overlay error of less than 1 Å (excluding H and CF3) indicating the distortion impact of the toluene solvate.
