Reactions of 1-(3"-Amino)- and 1-(3"-Acetamido)propylsilatranes with Cobalt(II) Chloride and Dicobalt Octacarbonyl

1-(3"-Amino)propylsilatrane (I) and 1-(3"-acetamido)propylsilatrane (II) react with anhydrous cobalt(II) chloride to give dichlorobis[1-(3"-amino)propylsilatrane]cobalt(II) {Co[NH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₃N]₂Cl₂} (III) and dichlorobis[1-(3"-acetamido)propylsilatrane]cobalt(II) {Co[CH₃C(O)NHCH₂CH₂CH₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₃N]₂Cl₂} (IV). Being unstable, compound IV transforms into an imidic acid derivative. Reactions of silatranes I and II with dicobalt octacarbonyl afford hexakis[1-(3"-aminoamido)propylsilatrane]cobalt(II) bis(tetracarbonylcobaltate) {Co[NH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₃N]_4.8[HC(O)NHCH₂CH₂CH₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₃N]_1.2}[Co(CO)₄]₂ (V) and hexakis[1-(3"-acetamido)propylsilatrane]cobalt(II) bis(tetracarbonylcobaltate) {Co[CH₃C(O)NHCH₂CH₂CH₂Si(OCH₂CH₂)₃N]₆}[Co(CO)₄]₂ (VI), respectively. In acetonitrile, tetracarbonylcobaltate anions of compound VI are oxidized with atmospheric oxygen and moisture to cobalt hydroxocarbonate, giving a carbonate gel (VII).     

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of cobalt-containing oligosilanes

Oligo(phenylcobaltcarbonylsilane) was prepared from oligo(phenylsilane) and dicobalt octacarbonyl. The reaction proceeds with elimination of H₂ and CO and insertion of cobalt carbonyl fragments into the silicone backbone of oligosilane. Oligosilane containing cobalt carbonyl groups in side organic substituents was obtained from oligolmethyl(phenylethynyl)Isilane and CO₂(CO)₈. The reaction of 1,2-bis(phenylethyny1)tetramethyldisilane with Co₂(CO)₈ proceeds with the sequential attachment of cobalt carbonyl fragments to ethynyl groups to form disilane derivatives [²-CCPhCo₂(CO)₆] Thermal decomposition of cobalt-containing oligosilanes affords a mixture of paramagnets and ferromagnets.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Organosilicon Amidophosphates and Their Eu and Er Complexes in Solutions and Films: Spectral and Luminescence Properties

Fluorescence and fluorescence excitation spectra of phosphorus-containing organosilicon ligands O = PX₂NHR (X = NMe₂, OPh; R = CH₂CH₂CH₂Si(Oet)₃ and their Eu(III) complexes in acetonitrile solutions and in films are studied. In UV region (285–420 nm), bis(dimethylamido)triethoxysilylpropylamidophosphate (X = NMe₂) and diphenyltriethoxysilylpropylamidophosphate (X = OPh) exhibit two emission bands, whose position and intensity depend on the nature of substituents at the phosphorus atom. The Eu complexes show the ligand and the cation luminescence. The emission bands of coordinated ligands are shifted to long-wave region. The cation luminescence appears as three or four bands due to f-f transitions from the excited ⁵ D ₀ level to the lower ⁷ F _1–4 levels. The most intense transition is ⁵ D ₀ → ⁷ F ₂. The emission band in a region of 420 nm appears in solutions and films prepared from both pure ligands and their Eu(III) complexes. This band is due to luminescence of spatially crosslinked nanoparticles of sesquioxane structure. The intensity ratio of the Eu³⁺ emission bands changes when going from solutions to films, the emission intensity increases in a range of 420 nm. Films containing incorporated Er complexes with amidophosphates show intense luminescence of a matrix at 430 nm and a series of weak narrow bands due to the Er³⁺ cation at 550–700 nm.__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 7, 2005, pp. 550–558.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Semenov, Cherepennikova, Klapshina, B.

Synthesis and thermal transformations of polyphosphosiloxane based on trimethyl phosphate and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane

A method for the synthesis of polyphosphosiloxane by the thermal condensation of an equimolar mixture of trimethyl phosphate and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane at 200 °C was developed. The reaction affords ethanol and polyphosphosiloxane-{Si(OEt)[(CH₂)₃NR¹R²]-O-P(O)(OMe)-O}_n-(R¹ = H, Me; R² = Me), whose composition and structure were confirmed by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The scheme of polymerization involving the intermediate formation of methyl-and dimethylphosphoric acids and their condensation with ethoxysilanes was proposed. The calcination of the obtained polyphosphosiloxane in vacuo at 350 °C results in the elimination of the amino groups and alkoxide substituents, and a spatially cross-linked polymer is formed as an amorphous powder. Its further thermolysis at 600 and 1000 °C gives crystalline phosphosilicates Si₅O(PO₄)₆ or SiP₂O₇. Their amorphous and crystalline samples were characterized by IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and solid-state ¹³C and ³¹P spectroscopy. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis of new organosilicon and organogermanium derivatives of diallylisocyanurate and cyanuric acid

Conclusion The reactions of the silver, cesium or rubidium salts of diallylisocyanurate and of trimethylsilyldiallylisocyanurate with pentamethylchlorodisilane, 1,2-dichlorotetramethyldisilane, 1,3-dichlorotetramethyldisiloxane and -(trialkylgermyl)propionyl chlorides leads to the corresponding organosilicon and organogermanium triazine derivatives. The reaction of pentamethylchlorodisilane with the trisilver salt of cyanuric acid or tris(trimethyl-silyl) cyanurate leads to the formation of tris(pentamethyldisilanyl)cyanurate.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 941–943, April, 1987.
