Synthesis of Oligosilanyl Compounds of Group 4 Metallocenes with the Oxidation State +3.

ABSTRACT: Recently, we showed that titanocene silyls are much more stable with Ti in the oxidation state +3. The current study demonstrates that analogous Zr and Hf compounds can also be obtained by reaction of a suitable metalate precursor with an oligosilanyl dianion. As the obtained complexes formally possess a d(1) electron configuration, they were investigated using EPR spectroscopy. The corresponding spectra indicate that the compounds can be considered to also exhibit some cyclosilanyl radical anion character. In order to understand the strong preference of disilylated titan(IV)ocenes for reductive elimination, a theoretical study of the thermodynamics of these reactions was conducted, revealing that this behavior is essentially caused by the weak Si-Ti(IV) bond.

Synthesis and Characterization of Methoxylated Oligosilyl Group 4 Metallocenes.

Project description:New methoxylated oligosilyl-substituted metallocenes were synthesized by the reaction of two oligosilanides with different metallocene dichlorides (M = Ti, Zr, and Hf). The first investigated tris(trimethoxysilyl)silanide [(MeO)3Si]3SiK (1) underwent a selective monosubstitution to the respective oligosilyl-decorated metallocenes [(MeO)3Si]3SiMClCp2 (2-4). Surprisingly, the attempted disilylation with this silanide was not possible. However, in the case of titanocene dichloride, a stable radical [(MeO)3Si]3SiTiCp2 (5) was formed. The unsuccessful isolation of bisilylated metallocenes encouraged us to investigate the reactivity of another silanide. Therefore, we synthesized a hitherto unknown disilanide K[(MeO)3Si]2Si(SiMe2)2Si[(MeO)3Si]2K (8), which was accessible in good yields. The reaction of compound 8 and different metallocene dichlorides (M = Ti, Zr, and Hf) gave rise to the formation of heterocyclic compounds 9-11 in good yields.

Coordination Chemistry of Disilylated Germylenes with Group 4 Metallocenes.

Project description:Reaction of the PEt3 adduct of a disilylated five-membered cyclic germylene with group 4 metallocene dichlorides in the presence of magnesium led to the formation of the respective germylene metallocene phosphine complexes of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium. Attempts to react the related NHC adduct of a disilylated four-membered cyclic germylene under the same conditions with Cp2TiCl2 did not give the expected germylene NHC titanocene complex. This complex was, however, obtained in the reaction of Cp2Ti(btmsa) with the NHC germylene adduct. A computational analysis of the structure of the group 4 metallocene germylene complexes revealed the multiple-bond character of the M-Ge(II) linkage, which can be rationalized with the classical σ-donor/π-acceptor interaction. The strength of the M-Ge(II) bond increases descending group 4.

The oxidation state in low-valent beryllium and magnesium compounds.

Project description:Low-valent group 2 (E = Be and Mg) stabilized compounds have been long synthetically pursued. Here we discuss the electronic structure of a series of Lewis base-stabilized Be and Mg compounds. Despite the accepted zero(0) oxidation state nature of the group 2 elements of some recent experimentally accomplished species, the analysis of multireference wavefunctions provides compelling evidence for a strong diradical character with an oxidation state of +2. Thus, we elaborate on the distinction between a description as a donor-acceptor interaction L(0) ⇆ E(0) ⇄ L(0) and the internally oxidized situation, better interpreted as a diradical L(-1) → E(+2) ← L(-1) species. The experimentally accomplished examples rely on the strengthened bonds by increasing the π-acidity of the ligand; avoiding this interaction could lead to an unprecedented low-oxidation state.

Coordination chemistry of cyclic disilylated stannylenes and plumbylenes to group 4 metallocenes.

Project description:Reduction of group 4 metallocene dichlorides with magnesium in the presence of cyclic disilylated stannylene or plumbylene phosphine adducts yielded the respective metallocene tetrylene phosphine complexes. Under the same conditions the use of the respective dimerized stannylene or plumbylene gave metallocene ditetrylene complexes. A computational analysis of these reactions revealed for all investigated compounds multiple-bonded character for the M-E(II) linkage, which can be rationalized in the case of the monotetrylene complex with the classical ?-donor/?-acceptor interaction. The strength of the M-E(II) bond increases descending group 4 and decreases going from Sn to its heavier congener Pb. The weakness of the Ti-E(II) bonds is caused by the significantly reduced ability of the titanium atom for d-p ?-back-bonding.

Controlling ultralong room temperature phosphorescence in organic compounds with sulfur oxidation state.

Project description:Sulfur oxidation state is used to tune organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of symmetric sulfur-bridged carbazole dimers. The sulfide-bridged compound exhibits a factor of 3 enhancement of the phosphorescence efficiency, compared to the sulfoxide and sulfone-bridged analogs, despite sulfone bridges being commonly used in RTP materials. In order to investigate the origin of this enhancement, temperature dependent spectroscopy measurements and theoretical calculations are used. The RTP lifetimes are similar due to similar crystal packing modes. Computational studies reveal that the lone pairs on the sulfur atom have a profound impact on enhancing intersystem crossing rate through orbital mixing and screening, which we hypothesize is the dominant factor responsible for increasing the phosphorescence efficiency. The ability to tune the electronic state without altering crystal packing modes allows the isolation of these effects. This work provides a new perspective on the design principles of organic phosphorescent materials, going beyond the rules established for conjugated ketone/sulfone-based organic molecules.

Synthesis of High Oxidation State Molybdenum Imido Heteroatom-Substituted Alkylidene Complexes.

Project description:Reactions between Mo(NAr)(CHR)(Me2Pyr)-(OTPP) (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr2C6H3, R = H or CHCMe2Ph, Me2Pyr = 2,5-dimethylpyrrolide, OTPP = O-2,3,5,6-Ph4C6H) and CH2=CHX where X = B(pin), SiMe3, N-carbazolyl, N-pyrrolidinonyl, PPh2, OPr, or SPh lead to Mo(NAr)(CHX)-(Me2Pyr)(OTPP) complexes in good yield. All have been characterized through X-ray studies (as an acetonitrile adduct in the case of X = PPh2). The efficiencies of metathesis reactions initiated by Mo(NAr)(CHX)(Me2Pyr)(OTPP) complexes can be rationalized on the basis of steric factors; electronic differences imposed as a consequence of X being bound to the alkylidene carbon do not seem to play a major role. Side reactions that promote catalyst decomposition do not appear to be a serious limitation for Mo=CHX species.

Synthesis and oxidation of aminoalkyl-onium compounds by pig kidney diamine oxidase.

Project description:1. The preparation of a series of compounds derived from diamines by replacing one amino group by a dimethylsulphonium, isothiuronium, trimethylammonium, NN'-dimethylimidazolium or N-methylpyridinium species is described. 2. The behaviour of these compounds as substrates of pig kidney diamine oxidase is reported. All but the trimethylammonium compounds proved to be substrates. 3. Many of these compounds showed potent inhibition at high substrate concentration and this was studied. 4. On the basis of these and other observations a scheme for enzyme-substrate interaction is suggested.

Group 4 Metal and Lanthanide Complexes in the Oxidation State +3 with Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl Ligands.

Project description:A number of paramagnetic silylated d1 group 4 metallates were prepared by reaction of potassium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide with group 4 metallates of the type K[Cp2MCl2] (M = Ti, Zr, Hf). The outcomes of the reactions differ for all three metals. While for the hafnium case the expected complex [Cp2Hf{Si(SiMe3)3}2]- was obtained, the analogous titanium reaction led to a product with two Si(H)(SiMe3)2 ligands. The reaction with zirconium caused the formation of a dinuclear fulvalene bridged complex. The desired [Cp2Zr{Si(SiMe3)3}2]- could be obtained by reduction of Cp2Zr{Si(SiMe3)3}2 with potassium. In related reactions of potassium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide with some lanthanidocenes Cp3Ln (Ln = Ce, Sm, Gd, Ho, Tm) complexes of the type [Cp3Ln Si(SiMe3)3]- with either [18-crown-6·K]+ or the complex ion [18-crown-6·K·Cp·K·18-crown-6] as counterions were obtained. Due to d1 or fn electron configuration, unambiguous characterization of all obtained complexes could only be achieved by single crystal XRD diffraction analysis.

Synthesis of Low-Valent Dinuclear Group?14 Compounds with Element-Element Bonds by Transylidation.

Project description:Dinuclear low-valent compounds of the heavy main group elements are rare species owing to their intrinsic reactivity. However, they represent desirable target molecules due to their unusual bonding situations as well as applications in bond activations and materials synthesis. The isolation of such compounds usually requires the use of substituents that provide sufficient stability and synthetic access. Herein, we report on the use of strongly donating ylide-substituents to access low-valent dinuclear group?14 compounds. The ylides not only impart steric and electronic stabilization, but also allow facile synthesis via transfer of an ylide from tetrylene precursors of type R Y2 E to ECl2 (E=Ge, Sn; R Y=TolSO2 (PR3 )C with R=Ph, Cy). This method allowed the isolation of dinuclear complexes amongst a germanium analogue of a vinyl cation, [(Ph Y)2 GeGe(Ph Y)]+ with an electronic structure best described as a germylene-stabilized GeII cation and a ylide(chloro)digermene [Cy Y(Cl)GeGe(Cl)Cy Y] with an unusually unsymmetrical structure.

Scrabbling around in Synthetic Nuances Managing Sodium Compounds: Bisphenol/Bisnaphthol Synthesis by Hydroxyl Group Masking.

Project description:A unique method of bisphenol/bisnaphthol synthesis is being proposed, serendipitously discovered in the course of the careful analysis of an aminophenol methylation reaction. The insightful exploration of the synthesis of N- or O-methylated species, originating from functionalized phenols obtained by a conventional strategy, provided the opportunity to discover an unexpected reaction pathway yielding various bisphenols. Sodium complexes were found to be crucial intermediates in the synthetic scenario. Their formation, which is usually an imperceptive step, was substantial for the productive outcome of functional group protection. Thorough exploration revealed an essential structural motif of aminophenolate, necessary for the successful outcome of the reaction, and also enabled establishing the limitations of the new method. The work demonstrated that a slight change in the perspective and close inspection of the synthetic nuances can answer the important question concerning what a specific target-oriented synthesis strategy is lacking.
