A Chemiluminescent Tetraaryl Diborane(4) Tetraanion.

ABSTRACT: Two subvalent, redox-active diborane(4) anions, [3]^4- and [3]^2- , carrying exceptionally high negative charge densities are reported: Reduction of 9-methoxy-9-borafluorene with Li granules without stirring leads to the crystallization of the B(sp³ )-B(sp² ) diborane(5) anion salt Li[5]. [5]^- contains a 2,2'-biphenyldiyl-bridged B-B core, a chelating 2,2'-biphenyldiyl moiety, and a MeO substituent. Reduction of Li[5] with Na metal gives the Na⁺ salt of the tetraanion [3]^4- in which two doubly reduced 9-borafluorenyl fragments are linked via a B-B single bond. Comproportionation of Li[5] and Na₄ [3] quantitatively furnishes the diborane(4) dianion salt Na₂ [3], the doubly boron-doped congener of 9,9'-bis(fluorenylidene). Under acid catalysis, Na₂ [3] undergoes a formal Stone-Wales rearrangement to yield a dibenzo[g,p]chrysene derivative with B=B core. Na₂ [3] shows boron-centered nucleophilicity toward n-butyl chloride. Na₄ [3] produces bright blue chemiluminescence when exposed to air.

Mechanosynthesis of Odd-Numbered Tetraaryl[n]cumulenes.

Project description:A mechanochemical synthesis of one-dimensional carbon allotrope carbyne model compounds, namely tetraaryl[n]cumulenes (n=3, 5) was realized. Central for the mechanosynthesis of the cumulenic carbon nanostructures were the development of a mechanochemical Favorskii alkynylation-type reaction and the implementation of a solvent-free, acid-free reductive elimination with tin(II) chloride by ball milling.

Single-Molecule Force Spectroscopy of a Tetraaryl Succinonitrile Mechanophore.

Project description:Fluorescent damage reporters that use mechanochemical activation of a covalent bond to elicit an optical signal are emerging tools in material mechanics as a means to access the nanoscale distribution of forces inside materials under stress. A promising class of damage reporters are tetraaryl succinonitriles (TASN), whose mechanical activation results in stable fluorescent radical species. However, in-depth insights into the molecular mechanics of TASN activation are absent, precluding their use as quantitative mechanoprobes. Here we perform single-molecule force spectroscopy experiments to provide these insights. We use a bridged version of the TASN unit, embedded in multi-mechanophore polymer, to enable multiplexed mechanochemical measurements at the single-molecule level. Our experiments reveal that TASN activates at surprisingly low forces and short time scales compared to other covalent mechanophores. These results establish TASN as a promising candidate for reporting the lower end of relevant forces in material mechanics.

B-B Bond Nucleophilicity in a Tetraaryl ?-Hydridodiborane(4) Anion.

Project description:The tetraaryl ?-hydridodiborane(4) anion [2H]- possesses nucleophilic B-B and B-H bonds. Treatment of K[2H] with the electrophilic 9-H-9-borafluorene (HBFlu) furnishes the B3 cluster K[3], with a triangular boron core linked through two BHB two-electron, three-center bonds and one electron-precise B-B bond, reminiscent of the prominent [B3 H8 ]- anion. Upon heating or prolonged stirring at room temperature, K[3] rearranges to a slightly more stable isomer K[3?a]. The reaction of M[2H] (M+ =Li+ , K+ ) with MeI or Me3 SiCl leads to equimolar amounts of 9-R-9-borafluorene and HBFlu (R=Me or Me3 Si). Thus, [2H]- behaves as a masked [:BFlu]- nucleophile. The HBFlu by-product was used in?situ to establish a tandem substitution-hydroboration reaction: a 1:1 mixture of M[2H] and allyl bromide gave the 1,3-propylene-linked ditopic 9-borafluorene 5 as sole product. M[2H] also participates in unprecedented [4+1] cycloadditions with dienes to furnish dialkyl diaryl spiroborates, M[R2 BFlu].

Diborane(4) Azides: Surprisingly Stable Sources of Transient Iminoboranes.

Project description:Herein we describe the first examples of isolable electron-precise diboranes(4) that bear azide moieties: the acyclic 1,2-diazido-1,2-bis(dimethylamino)diborane(4) and the cyclic 1,4-diaryl-2,3-diazido-1,4-diaza-2,3-diborinines (aryl=mesityl, 2,6-xylyl, 4-tolyl). The reported examples are not only stable enough to be observed and isolated (putative transient diborane(4) azides previously reported by our group spontaneously decompose even below room temperature), but some of them are even robust enough to undergo controlled pyrolysis without explosive decomposition at temperatures well above 100 °C. In two cases, the controlled pyrolysis allows the isolation of complex diazaboretidines, which are the apparent dimerization products of endocyclic boryl-iminoboranes.

Identification of diborane(4) with bridging B-H-B bonds.

Project description:The irradiation of diborane(6) dispersed in solid neon at 3 K with tunable far-ultraviolet light from a synchrotron yielded a set of IR absorption lines, the pattern of which implies a carrier containing two boron atoms. According to isotope effects and quantum-chemical calculations, we identified this new species as diborane(4), B2H4, possessing two bridging B-H-B bonds. Our work thus establishes a new prototype, diborane(4), for bridging B-H-B bonds in molecular structures.

Polymorphic transitions of diborane at sub- and near-megabar pressures.

Project description:Recent theoretical investigations of high-pressure structures of diborane have yielded many intriguing predictions which have so far remained untested due to challenges of acquiring experimental data at extreme pressures. Here we report new pressure-induced polymorphic transformations of crystalline diborane observed between 36 and 88 GPa by in situ Raman spectroscopy and interpreted using electronic structure calculations. Two previously unknown phase transitions are identified near 42 and 57 GPa, as evidenced by significant changes in the Raman profiles. The corresponding new phases, labeled IV and V, consist of B2H6 molecules and have triclinic unit cells (P), as deduced through evolutionary structure search and comparison of experimental and simulated Raman spectra. Density-functional calculations suggest that, at pressures above 110 GPa, phase V will form new molecular structures consisting of one-dimensional (BH3)n chains and will become metallic near 138 GPa. Our findings make a significant contribution to the elucidation of the structures and properties of diborane in the near-megabar pressure region.

Boranediyl- and Diborane(4)-1,2-diyl-Bridged Platinum A-Frame Complexes.

Project description:Diplatinum A-frame complexes with a bridging (di)boron unit in the apex position were synthesized in a single step by the double oxidative addition of dihalo(di)borane precursors at a bis(diphosphine)-bridged Pt0 2 complex. While structurally analogous to well-known μ-borylene complexes, in which delocalized dative three-center-two-electron M-B-M bonding prevails, theoretical investigations into the nature of Pt-B bonding in these A-frame complexes show them to be rare dimetalla(di)boranes displaying two electron-sharing Pt-B σ-bonds. This is experimentally reflected in the low kinetic stability of these compounds, which are prone to loss of the (di)boron bridgehead unit.

Easy access to nucleophilic boron through diborane to magnesium boryl metathesis.

Project description:Organoboranes are some of the most synthetically valuable and widely used intermediates in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry. Their synthesis, however, is limited by the behaviour of common boron starting materials as archetypal Lewis acids such that common routes to organoboranes rely on the reactivity of boron as an electrophile. While the realization of convenient sources of nucleophilic boryl anions would open up a wealth of opportunity for the development of new routes to organoboranes, the synthesis of current candidates is generally limited by a need for highly reducing reaction conditions. Here, we report a simple synthesis of a magnesium boryl through the heterolytic activation of the B-B bond of bis(pinacolato)diboron, which is achieved by treatment of an easily generated magnesium diboranate complex with 4-dimethylaminopyridine. The magnesium boryl is shown to act as an unambiguous nucleophile through its reactions with iodomethane, benzophenone and N,N'-di-isopropyl carbodiimide and by density functional theory.

Facile scission of isonitrile carbon-nitrogen triple bond using a diborane(4) reagent.

Project description:Transition metal reagents and catalysts are generally effective to cleave all three bonds (one ? and two ?) in a triple bond despite its high bonding energy. Recently, chemistry of single-bond cleavage by using main-group element compounds is rapidly being developed in the absence of transition metals. However, the cleavage of a triple bond using non-transition-metal compounds is less explored. Here we report that an unsymmetrical diborane(4) compound could react with carbon monoxide and tert-butyl isonitrile at room temperature. In the latter case, the carbon-nitrogen triple bond was completely cleaved in the absence of transition metal as confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis, (13)C NMR spectroscopy with (13)C labelling and DFT calculations. The DFT calculations also revealed the detailed reaction mechanism and indicated that the key for the carbon-nitrogen triple-bond cleavage could be attributed to the presence of nucleophilic nitrogen atom in one of the intermediates.

A (μ-hydrido)diborane(4) anion and its coordination chemistry with coinage metals.

Project description:A tetra(o-tolyl) (μ-hydrido)diborane(4) anion 1, an analogue of [B2H5]- species, was facilely prepared through the reaction of tetra(o-tolyl)diborane(4) with sodium hydride. Unlike common sp2-sp3 diborane species, 1 exhibited a σ-B-B bond nucleophilicity towards NHC-coordinated transition-metal (Cu, Ag, and Au) halides, resulting in the formation of η2-B-B bonded complexes 2 as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analyses. Compared with 1, the structural data of 2 imply significant elongations of B-B bonds, following the order Au > Cu > Ag. DFT studies show that the diboron ligand interacts with the coinage metal through a three-center-two-electron B-M-B bonding mode. The fact that the B-B bond of the gold complex is much prolonged than the related Cu and Ag compounds might be ascribed to the superior electrophilicity of the gold atom.
