An NHC-Stabilized H₂ GeBH₂ Precursor for the Preparation of Cationic Group 13/14/15 Hydride Chains.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis, characterization and reactivity studies of the NHC-stabilized complex IDipp ⋅ GeH₂ BH₂ OTf (1) (IDipp=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) are reported. Nucleophilic substitution of the triflate (OTf) group in 1 by phosphine or arsine donors provides access to the cationic group 13/14/15 chains [IDipp ⋅ GeH₂ BH₂ ERR¹ R² ]⁺ (2 E=P; R, R¹ =H; R² =^t Bu; 3 E=P; R=H; R¹ , R² =Ph; 4 a E=P; R, R¹ , R² =Ph; 4 b E=As; R, R¹ , R² =Ph). These novel cationic chains were characterized by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Moreover, the formation of the parent complexes [IDipp ⋅ GeH₂ BH₂ PH₃ ][OTf] (5) and [IDipp ⋅ GeH₃ ][OTf] (6) were achieved by reaction of 1 with PH₃ . Accompanying DFT computations give insight into the stability of the formed chains with respect to their decomposition.

NHC-Coordinated Diphosphene-Stabilized Gold(I) Hydride and Its Reversible Conversion to Gold(I) Formate with CO2.

Project description:An NHC-coordinated diphosphene is employed as ligand for the synthesis of a hydrocarbon-soluble monomeric AuI hydride, which readily adds CO2 at room temperature yielding the corresponding AuI formate. The reversible reaction can be expedited by the addition of NHC, which induces β-hydride shift and the removal of CO2 from equilibrium through the formation of an NHC-CO2 adduct. The AuI formate is alternatively formed by dehydrogenative coupling of the AuI hydride with formic acid (HCO2 H), thus in total establishing a reaction sequence for the AuI hydride mediated dehydrogenation of HCO2 H as chemical hydrogen storage material.

Ligand-stabilized heteronuclear diatomics of group 13 and 15.

Project description:A theoretical investigation of ligand-stabilized MX diatomics (M = group 13, X = group 15 element) with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands has been carried out to assess bonding and electronic structure. Binding of two ligands in the form L-MX-L is generally preferred over binding of a single ligand as L-MX or MX-L. Binding of carbene donor ligands is predicted to be thermodynamically favorable for all the systems, and is very favorable for the lighter group 15 systems (nitrogen and phosphorus). Detailed analysis of the bonding in these complexes has been carried out with energy decomposition analysis (EDA). In all cases, the carbene to boron and carbene to nitrogen bonding is described as an electron-sharing double bond with both σ and π bonding interactions. For the heavier elements, bonding to C (except for PC interactions) is best described as a donor-acceptor σ single bond.

A Cationic NHC-Supported Borole.

Project description:This work describes the synthesis and characterization of a highly reactive cationic borole. Halide abstraction with Li{Al[OC(CF3 )3 ]4 } from the NHC-chloroborole adduct yields the first stable NHC-supported 1-(Me NHC)-2,5-(SiMe3 )2 -3,4-(Ph*)2 -borole cation. Electronically, it features both a five-membered cyclic conjugated 4 π-electron system and a cationic charge and thus resembles the yet elusive cyclopentadienyl cation. The borole cation was characterized crystallographically, spectroscopically (NMR, UV/Vis), by cyclovoltammetry, microanalysis and mass-spectrometry and its electronic structure was probed computationally. The cation reacts with tolane and reversibly binds carbon monoxide. Direct comparison with the structurally related, yet neutral, 1-mesityl borole reveals strong Lewis acidity, reduced HOMO-LUMO gaps, and increased anti-aromatic character.

NHC-stabilized Parent Arsanylalanes and -gallanes.

Project description:The synthesis and characterization of the unprecedented compounds IDipp⋅E'H2 AsH2 (E'=Al, Ga; IDipp=1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene) are reported, the first monomeric, parent representatives of an arsanylalane and arsanylgallane, respectively, stabilized only by a LB (LB=Lewis Base). They are prepared by a salt metathesis reaction of KAsH2 with IDipp⋅E'H2 Cl (E'=Al, Ga). The H2 -elimination pathway through the reaction of AsH3 with IDipp⋅E'H3 (E'=Al, Ga) was found to be a possible synthetic route with some disadvantages compared to the salt metathesis reaction. The corresponding organo-substituted compounds IDipp⋅GaH2 AsPh2 (1) and IDipp⋅AlH2 AsPh2 (2) were obtained by the reaction of KAsPh2 with IDipp⋅E'H2 Cl (E'=Al, Ga). The novel branched parent compounds IDipp⋅E'H(EH2 )2 (E'=Al, Ga; E=P, As) were synthesized by salt metathesis reactions starting from IDipp⋅E'HCl2 (E'=Al, Ga). Supporting DFT computations give insight into the different synthetic pathways and the stability of the products.

Metathesis Reactions of a NHC-Stabilized Phosphaborene.

Project description:The BP unsaturated unit is a very attractive functional group as it provides novel reactivity and unique physical properties. Nonetheless, applications remain limited so far due to the bulky nature of B/P-protecting groups, required to prevent oligomerization. Herein, we report the synthesis and isolation of a N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized phosphaborene, bearing a trimethylsilyl (TMS) functionality at the P-terminal, as a room-temperature-stable crystalline solid accessible via facile NHC-induced trimethylsilyl chloride (TMSCl) elimination from its phosphinoborane precursor. This phosphaborene compound, bearing a genuine B=P bond, exhibits a remarkable ability for undergoing P-centre metathesis reactions, which allows the isolation of a series of unprecedented phosphaborenes. X-ray crystallographic analysis, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and DFT calculations provide insights into the B=P bonding situation.

NHC stabilized copper nanoparticles via reduction of a copper NHC complex.

Project description:The bottom-up synthesis of plasmonic NHC@CuNPs from common starting reagents, via the formation of the synthetically accessible NHC-Cu(I)-Br complex and its reduction by NH3·BH3 is reported. The resulting NHC@CuNPs have been characterized in detail by XPS, TEM and NMR spectroscopy. The stability of NHC@CuNPs was investigated under both inert and ambient conditions using UV-Vis analysis. While the NHC@CuNPs are stable under inert conditions for an extended period of time, the NPs oxidize under air to form CuxO with concomitant release of the stabilizing NHC ligand.

Sterically Stabilized Terminal Hydride of a Diiron Dithiolate.

Project description:The kinetically robust hydride [t-HFe2(Me2pdt)(CO)2(dppv)2]+ ([t-H1]+) (Me2pdt2- = Me2C(CH2S-)2; dppv = cis-1,2-C2H2(PPh2)2) and related derivatives were prepared with 57Fe enrichment for characterization by NMR, FT-IR, and NRVS. The experimental results were rationalized using DFT molecular modeling and spectral simulations. The spectroscopic analysis was aimed at supporting assignments of Fe-H vibrational spectra as they relate to recent measurements on [FeFe]-hydrogenase enzymes. The combination of bulky Me2pdt2- and dppv ligands stabilizes the terminal hydride with respect to its isomerization to the 5-16 kcal/mol more stable bridging hydride ([μ-H1]+) with t1/2(313.3 K) = 19.3 min. In agreement with the nOe experiments, the calculations predict that one methyl group in [t-H1]+ interacts with the hydride with a computed CH···HFe distance of 1.7 Å. Although [t-H571]+ exhibits multiple NRVS features in the 720-800 cm-1 region containing the bending Fe-H modes, the deuterated [t-D571]+ sample exhibits a unique Fe-D/CO band at ∼600 cm-1. In contrast, the NRVS spectra for [μ-H571]+ exhibit weaker bands near 670-700 cm-1 produced by the Fe-H-Fe wagging modes coupled to Me2pdt2- and dppv motions.

The Maser Emitting Structure and Time Variability of the SIS Lines J = 14 - 13 and 15 - 14 in IRC+10216.

Project description:We present new high angular resolution interferometer observations of the υ = 0 J = 14 - 13 and 15 - 14 SiS lines towards IRC+10216, carried out with CARMA and ALMA. The maps, with angular resolutions of ≃0⋅″25and0⋅″55, reveal (1) an extended, roughly uniform, and weak emission with a size of ≃0⋅″5, (2) a component elongated approximately along the East-West direction peaking at ≃0⋅″13and0⋅″17 at both sides of the central star, and (3) two blue- and red-shifted compact components peaking around 0⋅″07 to the NW of the star. We have modeled the emission with a 3D radiation transfer code finding that the observations cannot be explained only by thermal emission. Several maser clumps and one arc-shaped maser feature arranged from 5 to 20R⋆ from the central star, in addition to a thin shell-like maser structure at ≃ 13R⋆ are required to explain the observations. This maser emitting set of structures accounts for 75% of the total emission while the other 25% is produced by thermally excited molecules. About 60% of the maser emission comes from the extended emission and the rest from the set of clumps and the arc. The analysis of a time monitoring of these and other SiS and 29SiS lines carried out with the IRAM 30 m telescope from 2015 to present suggests that the intensity of some spectral components of the maser emission strongly depends on the stellar pulsation while other components show a mild variability. This monitoring evidences a significant phase lag of ≃ 0.2 between the maser and NIR light-curves.

Evolution of Vibrational Spectra in the Manganese-Silicon Clusters Mn2Sin, n = 10, 12, and 13, and Cationic [Mn2Si13].

Project description:A comparison of DFT-computed and measured infrared spectra reveals the ground state structures of a series of gas-phase silicon clusters containing a common Mn2 unit. Mn2Si12 and [Mn2Si13]+ are both axially symmetric, allowing for a clean separation of the vibrational modes into parallel (a1) and perpendicular (e1) components. Information about the Mn-Mn and Mn-Si bonding can be extracted by tracing the evolution of these modes as the cluster increases in size. In [Mn2Si13]+, where the antiprismatic core is capped on both hexagonal faces, a relatively simple spectrum emerges that reflects a pseudo-D6d geometry. In cases where the cluster is more polar, either because there is no capping atom in the lower face (Mn2Si12) or the capping atom is present but displaced off the principal axis (Mn2Si13), the spectra include additional features derived from vibrational modes that are forbidden in the parent antiprism.

Electrochemical C-H bond activation via cationic iridium hydride pincer complexes.

Project description:A C-H bond activation strategy based on electrochemical activation of a metal hydride is introduced. Electrochemical oxidation of ( tBu4 PCP)IrH4 ( tBu4 PCP is [1,3-( t Bu2PCH2)-C6H3]-) in the presence of pyridine derivatives generates cationic Ir hydride complexes of the type [( tBu4 PCP)IrH(L)]+ (where L = pyridine, 2,6-lutidine, or 2-phenylpyridine). Facile deprotonation of [( tBu4 PCP)IrH(2,6-lutidine)]+ with the phosphazene base tert-butylimino-tris(pyrrolidino)phosphorane, t BuP1(pyrr), results in selective C-H activation of 1,2-difluorobenzene (1,2-DFB) solvent to generate ( tBu4 PCP)Ir(H)(2,3-C6F2H3). The overall electrochemical C-H activation reaction proceeds at room temperature without need for chemical activation by a sacrificial alkene hydrogen acceptor. This rare example of undirected electrochemical C-H activation holds promise for the development of future catalytic processes.
