From the Lithium‐2‐anilide‐2‐fluoro‐1,3‐diaza‐2‐sila‐cyclopentene‐GaCl3 Adduct to 1,4,6‐Triaza‐5‐gallium‐7‐sila‐cyclo‐3‐heptene ‐ Experimental and Quantum‐chemical Results

The lithium salt (HC–NCMe₃)₂SiFNLiR ( 1 ) R = C₆H₃(2,6‐CHMe₂)₂ reacts with trichlorogallium under displacement of the lithium ion by GaCl₃ to give the adduct [(HC–NCMe₃)₂SiFN]^– [(GaCl₃)R·Li(thf)₄]⁺ ( 1 ). Compound 1 thermally loses LiCl and forms the bicyclic ring intermediates V and VI . Compound  VI adds the aniline H₂NC₆H₃(2,6‐CHMe₂)₂ and the unsaturated, seven‐membered ring compound –NCMe₃–CH₂–CH=NCMe₃GaCl₂–NR–SiFNHR– ( 2 ) is obtained. The addition is accompanied by an enamine‐imine‐tautomerism and proves the Lewis acid character of the silicon atom in an unknown 3‐center‐2‐electron interaction of one nitrogen atom with the silicon and gallium atoms. Quantum chemical calculations of the thermal isomerisation process and crystal structures of 1 and 2 are reported.     

Quecksilber(II)‐chlorid‐ und ‐iodid‐Komplexe von Dithia‐ und Tetrathiakronenethern

In [(HgCl₂)₂((ch)₂30S₄O₆)] two HgCl₂ units are discretely bonded within the ligand cavity of the 30‐membered dichinoxaline‐tetrathia‐30‐crown‐10 ((ch)₂30S₄O₆) forming a binuclear complex. HgCl₂ forms 1 : 1 “in‐cavity” complexes with the 21‐membered maleonitrile‐dithia‐21‐crown‐7 (mn21S₂O₅) ligand and the 18‐membered chinoxaline‐dithia‐18‐crown‐6 (ch18S₂O₄) ligand, respectively. The 12‐membered 4‐methyl‐benzo‐dithia‐12‐crown‐4 (meb12S₂O₂) ligand gave with two equivalents HgI₂ the compound [HgI(meb12S₂O₂)]₂[Hg₂I₆]. In the cation [HgI(meb12S₂O₂)]⁺ meb12S₂O₂ forms with the cation HgI⁺ a half‐sandwich complex.

Dark‐red poly[[decaaquabis(μ₂‐3‐cyano‐4‐dicyanomethylene‐5‐oxo‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐2‐olato‐κ²N:N′)bis(μ₂‐3‐cyano‐4‐dicyanomethylene‐1H‐pyrrole‐2,5‐diolato‐κ²N:N′)tricadmium] hemihydrate], [Cd₃(C₈HN₄O₂)₂(C₈N₄O₂)₂(H₂O)₁₀]·0.5H₂O, (III), has a polymeric two‐dimensional structure, the building block of which includes two cadmium cations (one of them located on an inversion centre), and both singly and doubly charged anions. The cathodoluminescence spectra of the crystals are different and cover the wavelength range from UV to red, with emission peaks at 377 and 620 nm for (III), and at 583 and 580 nm for (I) and (II), respectively.

2,2‐Difluor‐1,3‐diaza‐2‐sila‐cyclopentene – Synthesis and Reactions N,N′‐Di‐tert‐butyl‐1,4‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene reacts with elemental lithium under reduction to give a dilithium salt, which forms with fluorosilanes the diazasilacyclopentenes 1 – 4 ; (HCNCMe₃)₂SiFR, R = F ( 1 ), Me ( 2 ), Me₃C ( 3 ), N(CMe₃)SiMe₃ ( 4 ). As by‐product in the synthesis of 1 , the tert‐butyl‐amino‐methylene‐tert‐butyliminomethine substituted compound 5 was isolated, R = N(CMe₃)‐CH₂‐CH = NCMe₃. 5 is formed in the reaction of 1 with the monolithium salt of the 1,4‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene in an enamine‐imine‐tautomerism. 1 reacts with lithium amides to give (HCNCMe₃)₂SiFNHR, 6 – 12 , R = H ( 6 ), Me ( 7 ), Me₂CH ( 8 ), Me₃C ( 9 ), H₅C₆ ( 10 ), 2,6‐Me₂C₆H₃ ( 11 ), 2,6‐(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃ ( 12 ). The reaction of 12 with LiNH‐2.6‐(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃ leads to the formation of (HCNCMe₃)₂Si(NHR)₂, ( 13 ). In the presence of n‐BuLi, 12 forms a lithium salt which looses LiF in boiling toluene. Lithiated 12 adds this LiF and generates a spirocyclic tetramer with a central eight‐membered LiF‐ring ( 14 ), [(HCNCMe₃)₂Si(FLiFLiNR)]₄, R = 2,6‐(Me₂CH)₂C₆H₃.

The compounds [Co₆(S₃PPh)₂(μ⁴‐S)₂(μ³‐S)₂(PPh₃)₄] ( 3 ), [Co₂(S₃PPh)₂(PPh₃)₂] ( 4 ), [Ni(S₂PPh)(PPhEt₂)₂] ( 5 ), [Ni(S₃PPh)(PPhEt₂)₂] ( 6 ) and [Cu₄(S₃PPh)₂(dppp)₂] ( 8 ) [dppp = 1,3‐Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)propane] were obtained from reactions of first‐row transition metal halides with PhP(S)(SSiMe₃)₂ in the presence of tertiary phosphines. In a reaction of PhP(S)(SSiMe₃)₂ with PhPEt₂ PhPEt₂PS₂Ph ( 7 ) was isolated. All compounds were characterized by X‐ray crystallography.     

Ligandstabilisierte cyclische und polycyclische Aluminium‐Phosphor‐ und Aluminium‐Arsen‐Verbindungen

Ligand Stabilized Cyclic and Polycyclic Aluminium Phosphorus and Aluminium Arsenic Compounds The reaction of AlCl₃ with Li₂AsSiRMe₂ (R = CMe₂iPr) in a mixture of ether and heptane yields the ether stabilized polycyclic compound [(AlCl)₄(AsSiRMe₂)₄(Et₂O)₂] ( 4 ) with a ladder shaped Al₄As₄ core structure. The shape of 4 is mostly similar to the aluminium phosphorus compound [(AlCl)₄(PSiiPr₃)₄(Et₂O)₂] ( 1 ) described recently [1]. These two compounds 1 and 4 can be cleaved into the cyclic compounds [{AlCl(C₅H₅N)}₂(PSiiPr₃)₂] ( 3 ) and [{AlCl(NEt₃)}₂(AsSiRMe₂)₂] ( 5 ) by reaction with pyridine and NEt₃, respectively. The compounds 3 , 4 , and 5 have been characterized by single crystal X‐ray diffraction.     

Syntheses,Characterization and X‐ray Structure of the First Silver(I) Complexes with 4‐Amino‐3‐thioxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one

Reaction of thiocarbohydrazide with glyoxolic acid monohydrate led to 4‐amino‐3‐thioxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(2H)‐one (AHTTO, 1 ). Treatment of 1 with AgNO₃ and PPh₃ gave thecomplexes [(PPh₃)₂Ag₂(μ‐N,S‐AHTTO)₂](NO₃)₂ ( 2 ) and [(PPh₃)₂Ag(AHTTO)]NO₃ · MeOH ( 3 ) was obtained under different conditions. All the compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction studies.     

Regioselective ortho‐Metallation of 2‐Diphenylphosphanylpyridine and (2‐(2‐Diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl)‐1‐3‐dioxalane with Methyltetrakis(trimethylphosphane)cobalt(I)

Co(CH₃)(PMe₃)₄ forms 100 % regioselectively with (2‐(2‐diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl)‐1,3‐dioxalane and 2‐diphenylphosphanyl‐pyridine, by elimination of methane, the four‐membered metallacycles Co{(C₃O₂HC₆H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₃ ( 1 ) and Co{(CNC₄H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₃ ( 4 ). The regioselectivity is independent of the steric requirement of the ortho substituent in the 2‐diphenylphosphanylaryl‐ligands. Oxidative addition with iodomethane transforms 1 and 4 into octahedral, diamagnetic low‐spin d⁶ complexes Co(CH₃)I‐{(C₃O₂HC₆H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₂ ( 2 ) and Co(CH₃)I‐{(CNC₄H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}(PMe₃)₂ ( 5 ). Under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide, insertion into the Co‐C bond results in ring expansion by forming the new assembled phosphanylbenzoyl complexes Co{(C₄O₃HC₆H₃)‐P(C₆H₅)₂}CO(PMe₃)₂ ( 3 ) and Co{(OCNC₄H₃)P(C₆H₅)₂}CO(PMe₃)₂ ( 6 ). The three different types of cobaltacycles are supported by X‐ray diffraction of 1 , 3 , 5 and 6 .     

Phenylimidorhenium(V) Complexes with 1,3‐Diethyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐2‐ ylidene Ligands

The phenylimidorhenium(V) complexes [Re(NPh)X₃(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, Br) react with the N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) 1,3‐diethyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐2‐ylidene (L^Et) under formation of the stable rhenium(V) complex cations [Re(NPh)X(L^Et)₄]²⁺ (X = Cl, Br), which can be isolated as their chloride or [PF₆]^? salts. The compounds are remarkably stable against air, moisture and ligand exchange. The hydroxo species [Re(NPh)(OH)(L^Et)₄]²⁺ is formed when moist solvents are used during the synthesis. The rhenium atoms in all three complexes are coordinated in a distorted octahedral fashion with the four NHC ligands in equatorial planes of the molecules. The Re–C(carbene) bond lengths between 2.171(8) and 2.221(3) Å indicate mainly σ‐bonding between the NHC ligand and the electron deficient d² metal atoms. Attempts to prepare analogous phenylimido complexes from [Re(NPh)Cl₃(PPh₃)₂] and 1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐2‐ylidene (L^i?Pr) led to a cleavage of the rhenium‐nitrogen multiple bond and the formation of the dioxo complex [ReO₂(L^i?Pr)₄]⁺.     

1,1‐Diethyl‐1‐germa‐2,3,4,5‐tetra‐tert‐butyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetraphospholan (C2H5)2Ge(tBuP)4, Molekül‐ und Kristallstruktur

1,1‐Diethyl‐1‐germa‐2,3,4,5‐tetra‐ tert ‐butyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetraphospholane (C₂H₅)₂Ge( t BuP)₄, Molecular and Crystal Structure The reaction of the diphosphide K₂[(tBuP)₄] · THF ( 1 ) with the germanium(IV) compound (C₂H₅)₂GeCl₂ leads via a [4 + 1]‐cyclo‐condensation reaction to 1,1‐diethyl‐1‐germa‐2,3,4,5‐tetra‐tert‐butyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetraphospholane (C₂H₅)₂Ge(tBuP)₄ ( 2 ) with the 5‐membered GeP₄ ring system. 2 could be characterized ³¹P NMR spectroscopically, mass spectrometrically and by a single crystal structure analysis.     

Nitridorhenium(V) Complexes with 1,3‐Dialkyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐2‐ylidenes

The nitridorhenium(V) complexes [ReNCl₂(PR₂Ph)₃] (R = Me, Et) react with the N‐heterocyclic carbenes (NHC) 1,3‐diethyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐5‐ylidene (L^Et) or 1,3,4,5‐tetramethylimidazole‐2‐ylidene (L^Me) in absolutely dry THF under complete replacement of the equatorial coordination sphere. The resulting [ReNCl(L^R)₄]⁺ complexes (L^R = L^Me, L^Et) are moderately stable as solids and in solution, but decompose in hot methanol under formation of [ReO₂(L^R)₄]⁺ complexes. With 1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazole‐5‐ylidene (L^i‐Pr), the loss of the nitrido ligand and the formation of a dioxo species is more rapid and no nitridorhenium intermediate could be isolated. The Re‐C bond lengths in [ReNCl(L^Et)₄]Cl of approximately 2.195Å are relatively long and indicate mainly σ‐bonding in the electron‐deficient d² system under study. The hydrolysis of the nitrido complexes proceeds via the formation of [ReO₃N]^2? anions as could be verified by the isolation and structural characterization of the intermediates [{ReN(PMe₂Ph)₃}{ReO₃N}]₂ and [{ReN(OH₂)(L^Et)₂}₂O][ReO₃N].     

Angle‐resolved XPS of fluorinated and semi‐fluorinated side‐chain polymers

Angle‐resolved XPS data (elemental quantification and high‐energy‐resolution C 1s) are presented for ten polymers with side‐chains of the form ? OCO(CF₂)_yF, ? COO(CH₂)₂OCO(CF₂)_yF (y = 1, 2, 3) and ? COO(CH₂)_x(CF₂)_yF (x = 1, y = 1, 2, 3; x = 2, y = 8). Particular attention was paid to charge compensation and speed of data acquisition, with co‐addition from multiple fresh samples to give spectra with good energy resolution and good signal‐to‐noise ratio free from the effects of x‐ray‐induced degradation. Water contact angles for the polymers are also reported. The XPS data demonstrate preferential surface segregation of fluorine‐containing groups for all but the shortest side‐chain polymer, where the ? OCOCF₃ side‐chain either does not surface segregate or is too short for surface segregation to be detectable by angle‐resolved XPS. In the other polymers studied the relative positions of functional groups in the side‐chains correlate with the angle‐resolved behaviour of the corresponding C 1s components. This shows that the surface side‐chains are oriented towards the polymer surface. For the ? COO(CH₂)₂OCO(CF₂)_yF (y = 1) side‐chain, the angle‐resolved C 1s data suggest reduced ordering and linearity compared with y = 2 and 3. For any particular series of polymers, e.g. ? COO(CH₂)_x(CF₂)_yF, the water contact angles increase with y, consistent with burying of the hydrophilic ester groups as y increases. For any particular value of y the sequence of water contact angles is ? COO(CH₂)_x(CF₂)_yF > ? OCO(CF₂)_yF ～ ? COO(CH₂)₂OCO(CF₂)_yF, suggesting greater ordering and density of fluorocarbon species at the surface of the ? COO(CH₂)_x(CF₂)_yF side‐chain polymers compared with the other polymers studied. For the ? COO(CH₂)₂(CF₂)₈F polymer a water contact angle of 124° is measured, which is greater than that of poly(tetrafluoroethene). The ? COO(CH₂)₂OCO(CF₂)F polymer is unusual in that it shows a particularly low water contact angle (83° ), suggesting that the probe fluid is able to sense both ester groups, consistent with the reduced ordering of the side‐chain detected by angle‐resolved XPS.

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Novel Chalcogenido‐bridged Niobium Copper Clusters In the presence of tertiary phosphines, the reaction of NbCl₅ and Copper(I) salts with Se(SiMe₃)₂ (E = S, Se) affords the new chalcogenido‐bridged niobium‐copper cluster compounds ( 1 ) and [NbCu₄Se₄Cl (PPh₃)₄] ( 2 ). Using E(R)SiMe₃ (E = S, Se, R = Ph, ⁿPr) instead of the bisilylated selenium species leads to the compounds [NbCu₂(SPh)₆(PMe₃)₂] ( 3 ), [NbCu₂(SPh)₆(PⁿPr₃)₂] ( 4 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PMe₃)₂] ( 5 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PⁿPr₃)₂] ( 6 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PⁱPr₃)₂] ( 7 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(P^tBu₃)₂] ( 8 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PⁱPr₂Me)₂] ( 9 ), [NbCu₂(SePh)₆(PPhEt₂)₂] ( 10 ), [Nb₂Cu₂(SⁿPr)₈(PⁿPr₃)₂Cl₂] ( 11 ) and [Nb₂Cu₆(SⁿPr)₁₂(PⁱPr₃)₂Cl₄]·2 CH₃CN ( 12 ·2 CH₃CN). By reacting Cu^I salts and NbCl₅ with the monosilylated selenides Se(^tBu)SiMe₃ and Se(ⁱPr)SiMe₃ which have a weak Se–C bond the products [Nb₂Cu₆Se₆(PⁱPr₃)₆Cl₄] ( 13 ), [Nb₂Cu₄Se₂(SeⁱPr)₆(PⁿPr₃)₄Cl₂] ( 14 ) and [Nb₂Cu₆Se₂(SeⁱPr)₁₀(PEt₂Me)₂Cl₂]·DME ( 15 ) are formed which contain selenide as well as alkylselenolate ligands. The molecular structures of all of these new compounds were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction measurements.

The compounds were characterised by electrospray mass‐spectrometric, IR and ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁹F, ²⁹Si, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopic analysis, and, except for 15 and 18 , single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies.

Copper(II) bis(4,4,4‐trifluoro‐1‐phenylbutane‐1,3‐dionate) complexes with pyridin‐2‐one (pyon), 3‐hydroxypyridine (hpy) and 3‐hydroxypyridin‐2‐one (hpyon) were prepared and the solid‐state structures of (pyridin‐2‐one‐κO )bis(4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐oxo‐1‐phenylbutan‐1‐olato‐κ²O ,O ′)copper(II), [Cu(C₁₀H₆F₃O₂)₂(C₅H₅NO)] or [Cu(tfpb‐κ²O ,O ′)₂(pyon‐κO )], (I), bis(pyridin‐3‐ol‐κO )bis(4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐oxo‐1‐phenylbutan‐1‐olato‐κ²O ,O ′)copper(II), [Cu(C₁₀H₆F₃O₂)₂(C₅H₅NO)₂] or [Cu(tfpb‐κ²O ,O ′)₂(hpy‐κO )₂], (II), and bis(3‐hydroxypyridin‐2‐one‐κO )bis(4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐oxo‐1‐phenylbutan‐1‐olato‐κ²O ,O ′)copper(II), [Cu(C₁₀H₆F₃O₂)₂(C₅H₅NO₂)₂] or [Cu(tfpb‐κ²O ,O ′)₂(hpyon‐κO )₂], (III), were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The coordination of the metal centre is square pyramidal and displays a rare example of a mutual cis arrangement of the β‐diketonate ligands in (I) and a trans‐octahedral arrangement in (II) and (III). Complex (II) presents the first crystallographic evidence of κO‐monodentate hpy ligation to the transition metal enabling the pyridine N atom to participate in a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network through O—H…N interactions, forming a graph‐set motif R ₂²(7) through a C—H…O interaction. Complex (III) presents the first crystallographic evidence of monodentate coordination of the neutral hpyon ligand to a metal centre and a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network is formed through N—H…O interactions facilitated by C—H…O interactions, forming the graph‐set motifs R ₂²(8) and R ₂²(7).

Synthesen und Kristallstrukturen neuer heterobimetallischer Tantal‐Münzmetall‐Chalkogenido‐Cluster

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Novel Heterobimetallic Tantalum Coin Metal Chalcogenido Clusters In the presence of phosphine the thiotantalats (Et₄N)₄[Ta₆S₁₇] · 3MeCN reacts with copper to give a number of new heterobimetallic tantalum copper chalcogenide clusters. These clusters show metal chalcogenide units some of which here already known from the chemistry of vanadium and niobium. New Ta—M‐chalcogenide clusters could also be synthesised by reaction of TaCl₅ and silylated chalcogen reagents with copper or silver salts in presence of phosphine.

1,3‐Dipentafluorophenyl‐2,2,2,4,4,4‐hexazido‐1,3‐diaza‐2,4‐diphosphetidine ( 1 ) was synthesized by the reaction of [(C₆F₅)NPCl₃]₂ with trimethylsilyl azide in CH₂Cl₂ and characterized by multinuclear NMR and vibrational spectroscopy. The molecular structure of the compound was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. [(C₆F₅)NP(N₃)₃]₂ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 9.6414(2), b = 7.4170(1) and c = 15.9447(4) Å, β = 94.4374(9)°, with 2 formula units per unit cell. The bond situation in [(C₆F₅)NP(N₃)₃]₂ has been studied on the basis of NBO analysis. The antisymmetric stretching vibration of the azide groups is discussed. The structural diversity of 1 and 1,3‐diphenyl‐2,2,2,4,4,4‐hexazido‐1,3‐diaza‐2,4‐diphosphetidine in solution and in the solid state depending on the aryl substituent at the nitrogen atom is discussed.     

Preparation and structural analysis of (±)‐cis‐ethyl 2‐sulfanylidenedecahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridine‐6‐carboxylate and (±)‐trans‐ethyl 2‐oxooctahydro‐1H‐pyrrolo[3,2‐c]pyridine‐5‐carboxylate

Bicycle ring closure on a mixture of (4aS,8aR)‐ and (4aR,8aS)‐ethyl 2‐oxodecahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridine‐6‐carboxylate, followed by conversion of the separated cis and trans isomers to the corresponding thioamide derivatives, gave (4aSR,8aRS)‐ethyl 2‐sulfanylidenedecahydro‐1,6‐naphthyridine‐6‐carboxylate, C₁₁H₁₈N₂O₂S. Structural analysis of this thioamide revealed a structure with two crystallographically independent conformers per asymmetric unit (Z′ = 2). The reciprocal bicycle ring closure on (3aRS,7aRS)‐ethyl 2‐oxooctahydro‐1H‐pyrrolo[3,2‐c]pyridine‐5‐carboxylate, C₁₀H₁₆N₂O₃, was also accomplished in good overall yield. Here the five‐membered ring is disordered over two positions, so that both enantiomers are represented in the asymmetric unit. The compounds act as key intermediates towards the synthesis of potential new polycyclic medicinal chemical structures.
