The Influence of Weakly Coordinating Cations on the O-H???O^- Hydrogen Bond of Silanol-Silanolate Anions.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of a saline phosphazenium hydroxide hydrate with siloxanes led to a novel kind of silanol-silanolate anions. The weakly coordinating behavior of the cation renders the formation of silanol-silanolate hydrogen bonds possible, which otherwise suffer from detrimental silanolate-oxygen cation interactions. We investigated the influence of various weakly coordinating cations on silanol-silanolate motifs, particularly with regard to different cation sizes. While large cations favor the formation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds resulting in cyclic structures, the less bulky tetramethyl ammonium cation encourages the formation of polyanionic silanol-silanolate chains in the solid state.

Synthesis and Reactivity of the First Isolated Hydrogen-Bridged Silanol-Silanolate Anions.

Project description:We report on the first examples of isolated silanol-silanolate anions, obtained by utilizing weakly coordinating phosphazenium counterions. The silanolate anions were synthesized from the recently published phosphazenium hydroxide hydrate salt with siloxanes. The silanol-silanolate anions are postulated intermediates in the hydroxide-mediated polymerization of aryl and alkyl siloxanes. The silanolate anions are strong nucleophiles because of the weakly coordinating character of the phosphazenium cation, which is perceptible in their activity in polysiloxane depolymerization.

Reactive p-block cations stabilized by weakly coordinating anions.

Project description:The chemistry of the p-block elements is a huge playground for fundamental and applied work. With their bonding from electron deficient to hypercoordinate and formally hypervalent, the p-block elements represent an area to find terra incognita. Often, the formation of cations that contain p-block elements as central ingredient is desired, for example to make a compound more Lewis acidic for an application or simply to prove an idea. This review has collected the reactive p-block cations (rPBC) with a comprehensive focus on those that have been published since the year 2000, but including the milestones and key citations of earlier work. We include an overview on the weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) used to stabilize the rPBC and give an overview to WCA selection, ionization strategies for rPBC-formation and finally list the rPBC ordered in their respective group from 13 to 18. However, typical, often more organic ion classes that constitute for example ionic liquids (imidazolium, ammonium, etc.) were omitted, as were those that do not fulfill the - naturally subjective -"reactive"-criterion of the rPBC. As a rule, we only included rPBC with crystal structure and only rarely refer to important cations published without crystal structure. This collection is intended for those who are simply interested what has been done or what is possible, as well as those who seek advice on preparative issues, up to people having a certain application in mind, where the knowledge on the existence of a rPBC that might play a role as an intermediate or active center may be useful.

High yield C-derivatization of weakly coordinating carborane anions.

Project description:Unlike the "parent" carborane anion CHB(11)H(11)(-), halogenated carborane anions such as CHB(11)H(5)Br(6)(-) can be readily C-functionalized in high yield and purity, enhancing their utility as weakly coordinating anions.

Hydrophilic Ionic Liquid Mixtures of Weakly and Strongly Coordinating Anions with and without Water.

Project description:With the aid of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate an ionic liquid (IL) mixture composed of three components 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium [C4C1Im]+, tetrafluoroborate [BF4]-, and chloride [Cl]- without and with water. In the pure IL mixture, we observe an already complex network of interactions between cations and anions, and addition of water to the system even extends the complexity. Observed number integrals show that the coordination number between cations and anions is reduced in the system with water compared to that in the pure system. Further studies show that the Coulombic network of the strongly coordinating anion [Cl]- is disturbed by water, while that of the weakly coordinating anion [BF4]- is not. These observations can also be confirmed by the Voronoi polyhedra analysis, which shows that the polar network of microheterogeneous IL collapses by the introduction of water. Hydrogen-acceptor interactions revealed that the [Cl]- anions are transferred from being situated in the IL to the water continuum, while [BF4]- is almost unperturbed; these effects mainly influence the interplay of the ionic liquid network.

On Silylated Oxonium and Sulfonium Ions and Their Interaction with Weakly Coordinating Borate Anions.

Project description:Attempts have been made to prepare salts with the labile tris(trimethylsilyl)chalconium ions, [(Me3 Si)3 E]+ (E=O, S), by reacting [Me3 Si-H-SiMe3 ][B(C6 F5 )4 ] and Me3 Si[CB] (CB- =carborate=[CHB11 H5 Cl6 ]- , [CHB11 Cl11 ]- ) with Me3 Si-E-SiMe3 . In the reaction of Me3 Si-O-SiMe3 with [Me3 Si-H-SiMe3 ][B(C6 F5 )4 ], a ligand exchange was observed in the [Me3 Si-H-SiMe3 ]+ cation leading to the surprising formation of the persilylated [(Me3 Si)2 (Me2 (H)Si)O]+ oxonium ion in a formal [Me2 (H)Si]+ instead of the desired [Me3 Si]+ transfer reaction. In contrast, the expected homoleptic persilylated [(Me3 Si)3 S]+ ion was formed and isolated as [B(C6 F5 )4 ]- and [CB]- salt, when Me3 Si-S-SiMe3 was treated with either [Me3 Si-H-SiMe3 ][B(C6 F5 )4 ] or Me3 Si[CB]. However, the addition of Me3 Si[CB] to Me3 Si-O-SiMe3 unexpectedly led to the release of Me4 Si with simultaneous formation of a cyclic dioxonium dication of the type [Me3 Si-?O-SiMe2 ]2 [CB]2 in an anion-mediated reaction. DFT studies on structure, bonding and thermodynamics of the [(Me3 Si)3 E]+ and [(Me3 Si)2 (Me2 (H)Si)E]+ ion formation are presented as well as mechanistic investigations on the template-driven transformation of the [(Me3 Si)3 E]+ ion into a cyclic dichalconium dication [Me3 Si-?E-SiMe2 ]2 2+ .

Substituent Effects in CH Hydrogen Bond Interactions: Linear Free Energy Relationships and Influence of Anions.

Project description:Aryl CH hydrogen bonds (HBs) are now commonly recognized as important factors in a number of fields, including molecular biology, stereoselective catalysis, and anion supramolecular chemistry. As the utility of CH HBs has grown, so to has the need to understand the structure-activity relationship for tuning both their strength and selectivity. Although there has been significant computational effort in this area, an experimental study of the substituent effects on CH HBs has not been previously undertaken. Herein we disclose a systematic study of a single CH HB by using traditional urea donors as directing groups in a supramolecular binding cavity. Experimentally determined association constants are examined by a combination of computational (electrostatic potential) and empirical (?m and ?p) values for substituent effects. The dominance of electrostatic parameters, as observed in a computational DFT study, is consistent with current CH HB theory; however, a novel anion dependence of the substituent effects is revealed in solution.

Hydrogen bond networks in gas-phase complex anions.

Project description:Hydrogen bond networks (HBNs) have piqued the interest of the scientific community due to their crucial roles in nature. However, HBNs that are isolated from complicated backgrounds for unraveling their characteristics are still scarce. Herein, we propose that HBNs exist in complex anions formed between α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and four benzoic acids (RBAs) in the gas phase. The complex anions are facilely extracted from solutions via the electrospray ionization technique, and subsequently activated through collision for the investigation of their transition dynamics. It is revealed that the generation of deprotonated α-CD and neutral RBAs is the unexpected dominant dissociation pathway for all the four complex anions, and the complex anions formed from more acidic RBAs exhibit higher stabilities. These dissociation results are successfully explained by the cooperative stretching dynamics of the proposed HBNs that are formed involving the intramolecular HBN of α-CD and the intermolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) between α-CD and RBAs. Furthermore, the rarely observed low barrier HBs (LBHBs) are suggested to be present in the HBNs. It is believed that the present complex anions can serve as a facilely accessible and informative model for studying HBNs in the future.

Hydrogen Bond Patterns of Dipyridone and Bis(Hydroxypyridinium) Cations.

Project description:Dipyridonyl-substituted derivatives 2-4 of benzene, pyridine, and pyrazine, respectively, were synthesized to examine the ability of 2-pyridone and its protonated species to direct the self-assembly by hydrogen bonding. Structural analysis by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) of 2 and 4 in trifluoroacetic acid demonstrated that salts are formed as a result of the transfer of protons from the acid to the base (organic species) to generate a bis(hydroxypyridinium) dication. However, if no proton transfer takes place like in the case of crystals of 3 grown from DMSO/H2O, the self-assembly is mainly directed by the typical R 2 2(8) hydrogen bond motif of 2-pyridone. These results indicate that the process of converting a neutral 2-pyridonyl group into a hydroxypyridinium cation makes structure prediction difficult. Consequently, examination of proton transfer and assembly of dipyridone and its protonated species are of interest. In combination with SCXRD, Hirshfeld surface analysis (HSA) was also used to have a better understanding on the nature of intermolecular interactions within crystal structures of 2-4. The large number of F···H/H···F, H···O/O···H, H···H, and H···C/C···H contacts revealed by HSA indicates that hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions mainly contribute to crystal packing.

Understanding the influence of alkali cations and halogen anions on the cooperativity of cyclic hydrogen-bonded rosettes in supramolecular stacks.

Project description:Hydrogen-bonded supramolecular systems are known to obtain extra stabilization from the complexation with ions, like guanine quadruplex (GQ). They experience strong hydrogen bonds due to cooperative effects. To gain deeper understanding of the interplay between ions and hydrogen-bonding cooperativity, relativistic dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT-D) computations were performed on triple-layer hydrogen-bonded rosettes of ammeline interacting with alkali metal cations and halides. Our results show that when ions are placed between the stacks, the hydrogen bonds are weakened but, at the same time, the cooperativity is strengthened. This phenomenon can be traced back to the shrinkage of the cavity as the ions pull the monomers closer together and therefore the distance between the monomers becomes smaller. On one hand this results in a larger steric repulsion, but on the other hand, the donor-acceptor interactions are enhanced due to the larger overlap between the donating and accepting orbitals leading to more charge donation and therefore an enhanced electrostatic attraction.

Aromatic cations from oxidative carbon-hydrogen bond cleavage in bimolecular carbon-carbon bond forming reactions.

Project description:Chromenes and isochromenes react quickly with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) to form persistent aromatic oxocarbenium ions through oxidative carbon-hydrogen cleavage. This process is tolerant of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups on the benzene ring and additional substitution on the pyran ring. A variety of nucleophiles can be added to these cations to generate a diverse set of structures.
