Strong Lewis acids of air-stable metallocene bis(perfluorooctanesulfonate)s [M(Cp)2][OSO2C8F17]2 center dot nH2O center dot THF (M=Zr (2a center dot 3H2O center dot THF), M=Ti (2b center dot 2H2O center dot THF)) were synthesized by the reaction of [M(Cp)2]Cl2 (M=Zr (1a), M=Ti (1b)) with nBuLi and C8F17SO3H (2 equiv) or with C8F17SO3Ag (2 equiv). The hydrate numbers (n) of these complexes were variable, changing from 0 to 4 depending on conditions. In contrast to well-known metallocene triflates, these complexes suffered no change in open air for a year. thermogravimetrydifferential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) analysis showed that 2a and 2b were thermally stable at 300 and 180 degrees C, respectively. These complexes exhibited unusually high solubility in polar organic solvents. Conductivity measurement showed that the complexes (2a and 2b) were ionic dissociation in CH3CN solution. X-ray analysis result confirmed 2a center dot 3H2O center dot THF was a cationic organometallic Lewis acid. UV/Vis spectra showed a significant red shift due to the strong complex formation between 10-methylacridone and 2a. Fluorescence spectra showed that the Lewis acidity of 2a fell between those of Sc3+ (lambda em=474 nm) and Fe3+ (lambda em=478 nm). ESR spectra showed the Lewis acidity of 2a (0.91 eV) was at the same level as that of Sc3+ (1.00 eV) and Y3+ (0.85 eV), while the Lewis acidity of 2b (1.06 eV) was larger than that of Sc3+ (1.00 eV) and Y3+ (0.85 eV). They showed high catalytic ability in carbonyl-compound transformation reactions, such as the Mannich reaction, the Mukaiyama aldol reaction, allylation of aldehydes, the FriedelCrafts acylation of alkyl aromatic ethers, and cyclotrimerization of ketones. Moreover, the complexes possessed good reusability. On account of their excellent catalytic efficiency, stability, and reusability, the complexes will find broad catalytic applications in organic synthesis.
