Acyclic tetrachalcogenoether ligands tethered with bulky substituents: Their syntheses and coordination chemistry

New o-phenylene-bridged tetrachalcogenoether ligands tethered with an extremely bulky substituent, 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl (Tbt) group, [TbtE(o-phenylene)Se]₂(o-phenylene) (3: E = S, 4: E = Se), were synthesized. Complexation reactions of 3 and 4 with Na₂PdCl₄ gave the corresponding dichloropalladium(II) complexes 7 and 8. X-ray structural analysis of 7 and 8 indicated that the central palladium metals are in a distorted octahedral environment, where the two inner selenium atoms and the two chlorine atoms form a square planar arrangement around the palladium metal and the two terminal chalcogen atoms weakly coordinate to the palladium center at the axial positions. The AIM calculations also supported the existence of the interaction between the palladium and the terminal chalcogen atoms in the crystalline state. On the other hand, the ⁷⁷Se NMR spectra suggested that there are no or very weak interactions between the palladium and the terminal chalcogen atoms in solution. The UV/Vis spectra of 7, 8, and related compounds imply the possibility of weak interaction between the terminal selenium atoms and the palladium center in solution.     

Syntheses of Polythioethers Tethered with Bulky Aryl Groups and Their Complexation with Late-Transition Metals

Abstract

New types of o-phenylene-bridged polythioethers tethered with extremely bulky aryl groups at their terminal sulfur atoms, such as TbtS(o-Phen)S(o-Phen)S(o-Phen)STbt (1) and TbtS(o-Phen)S(o-Phen)SS(o-Phen)S(o-Phen)STbt (2) (Tbt = 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, o-Phen = o-phenylene), were synthesized and subjected to the complexation with several kinds of late-transition metals. In the case of polythioether 1, the reaction with RhCl₃·3H₂O in benzene/EtOH resulted in the formation of a unique bimetallic complex, in which a part of ligand 1 is lost and the resulting sulfur atom is directly bound to the other Rh metal center. Interestingly, similar treatment of 1 with IrCl₃·3H₂O afforded ethyl-coordinated mononuclear Ir complex. Furthermore, 1 underwent complexation with Na₂PdCl₄ in EtOH to give the corresponding square planar dichloropalladium complex coordinated with two inner sulfur atoms of 1, while the S₆-ligand 2 reacted with excess of Pd(PPh₃)₄ in benzene to afford a quite interesting trinuclear Pd complex multi-step metal insertion reactions.     

Unusual carbon-sulfur bond cleavage in the reaction of a new type of bulky hexathioether with a zerovalent palladium complex

The reaction of a bulky hexathioether, TbtS(o-Phen)S(o-Phen)SS(o-Phen)S(o-Phen)STbt (o-Phen = o-phenylene, Tbt = 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl) (1), with 3 molar amounts of Pd(PPh3)4 afforded trinuclear palladium complex bridged by two benzenedithiolato ligands via a three-step palladium insertion reaction into one sulfur-sulfur and two carbon-sulfur bonds of 1.     

Thermolysis,photolysis, and oxidation of an overcrowded 1,3,2-dithiastannetane derivative

Reactions of a sterically crowded 1,3,2-dithiastannetane derivative bearing 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl (=Tbt) and 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl (=Tip) groups on the tin atom are described. Both thermolysis and photolysis of the 1,3,2-dithiastannetane [Tbt(Tip)SnS₂CPh₂] resulted in the formation of products derived from the corresponding stannanethione [Tbt(Tip)Sn=S], while the oxidation reaction by m -chloroperbenzoic acid gave a novel tincontaining heterocyclic system, an 1,2,4,5-oxadithiastannolane derivative.     

Catalytic activities in direct arylation of novel palladium N‐heterocyclic carbene complexes

Eight novel palladium N‐heterocyclic carbene (Pd‐NHC) complexes were synthesized by the reaction of chloro 1,3‐dialkylbenzimidazolin‐2‐ylidene silver(I) complexes with bis(benzonitrile)palladium(II) chloride in dichloromethane. These eight Pd‐NHC complexes are as follows: bis[1‐phenyl‐3‐(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzyl)benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II), bis[1‐phenyl‐3‐(2,3,5,6‐tetramethylbenzyl)benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II), bis[1‐phenyl‐3‐(2,3,4,5,6‐pentamethylbenzyl)benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II), bis[1‐phenyl‐3‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxybenzyl)benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II), bis[1‐(2‐diethylaminoethyl)‐3‐(3‐methylbenzyl)benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II), bis[1‐(2‐diethylaminoethyl)‐3‐(2,3,5,6‐tetramethylbenzyl)benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II), bis[1‐(2‐morpholinoethyl)‐3‐naphthalenomethylbenzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II) and bis[1‐(2‐morpholinoethyl)‐3‐(2‐methylbenzyl)benzimidazol‐2‐ylidene]dichloropalladium(II). Also, these synthesized complexes were fully characterized using Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis techniques. These synthesized novel Pd‐NHC complexes were tested as catalysts in the direct arylation of 2‐n‐butylthiophene, 2‐n‐butylfuran and 2‐isopropylthiazole with various aryl bromides at 130°C for 1 h. The complexes showed very good catalytic activities in these reactions. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

四氯合钯(Ⅱ)酸双{[4-溴-2，6-二(N，N-二乙基氨基亚甲基)吡啶基]氯化钯(Ⅱ)}的合成及晶体结构

A palladium（Ⅱ） complex, [PdLCl]2· [PdCl4], [L=4-bromo-2,6-bis（N,N-diethylaminomethylene）pyridine], was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray analysis. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic system with space group Cc, a=0.845 1（17） nm, b=1.836 5（4） nm, c=2.715 8（5） nm,β=93.99（3）°, V=4.204 8（15） nm^3, Z=4, R,=0.037 7 and wR2=0.076 9. The coordination geometry of the Pd atom in the cation is a slightly distorted square planar, with one pyridyl N and two N atoms of the diethylamine ligand, together with one Cl atom. The dihedral angle between the square planar （N3PdCl） and the pyridyl ring is 10.3（4）°. CCDC： 623421.     

Coordination behaviour of Schiff base 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline hydrazone (ATH) towards cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

The synthesis and characterization of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline hydrazone (ATH) are reported. Elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV–Vis–NIR diffuse reflectance and magnetic susceptibility measurement, as well as, in the case of copper complex EPR spectroscopy, have been used to characterize the complexes. In addition, the structure of [NiCl₂(ATH)₂] (2) and [{CuCl(ATH)}₂(μ-Cl)₂] (3) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In all complexes, the ligand ATH bonds to the metal ion through the imine and thiazoline nitrogen atoms. X-ray data indicates that the environment around the nickel atom in 2 may be described as a distorted octahedral geometry with the metallic atom coordinated to two chlorine atoms, two thiazoline nitrogen atoms and two imino nitrogen atoms. With regard to 3, it can be said that its structure consists of dimeric molecules in which copper ions are bridge by two chlorine ligands. The geometry about each copper ion approximates to a distorted square pyramid with each copper atom coordinated to one thiazoline nitrogen atom, one imine nitrogen atom, one terminal chlorine ligand and two bridge chlorine ligands. In compound 3, magnetic susceptibility measurements in the temperature range 2–300 K show an intradimer antiferromagnetic interaction (J = −7.5 cm⁻¹).     

Synthesis, structural characterization, and biological studies of six- and five-coordinate organotin(IV) complexes with the thioamides 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 5-chloro-2-mercaptobenzothiazole, and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole

Organotin(IV) complexes with the formulas [(C6H5)3Sn(mbzt)] (1), [(C6H5)3Sn(cmbzt)] (3), and [(C6H5)2Sn(cmbzt)2] (4) (Hmbzt = 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and Hcmbzt = 5-chloro-2-mercaptobenzothiazole) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis; FT-IR, Raman, 1H, 13C, and 119Sn NMR, and M?ssbauer spectroscopic techniques; and X-ray crystallography at various temperatures. The crystal structures of complexes 1, 3, and 4 were determined by X-ray diffraction at room temperature [295(1) or 293(2) K]. The complexes [(C6H5)3Sn(mbzo)] (2) and [(n-C4H9)2Sn(cmbzt)2] (5) (Hmbzo = 2-mercaptobenzoxazole) were synthesized by new improved methods, and their structures were determined at low temperature [100(1) K] and compared to those solved at room temperature. Comparison with {(CH3)2Sn(cmbzt)2]} (6), already reported, was also attempted. The influence of temperature on the geometry of the complexes is discussed. In the cases of complexes 1-3, three carbon atoms from phenyl groups and one sulfur atom and one nitrogen atom from thione ligands form a tetrahedrally distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry around the five-coordinate tin(IV) ion. In complexes 4-6, two carbon atoms from aryl groups and two sulfur atoms and two nitrogen atoms from thione ligands form a distorted tetrahedral geometry, tending toward octahedral, around the six-coordinate tin(IV) ions, with trans-C2, cis-N2, and cis-S2 configurations. Although the C-Sn and S-Sn bond distances are found to be constant in compounds 1-6, their N-Sn bond lengths vary significantly (from 2.635 to 3.078 A), with the longer distances found in the cases of five-coordinate complexes 1-3.     

Unprecedented insertion reaction of a silylene into a B-B bond and generation of a novel borylsilyl anion by boron-metal exchange reaction of the resultant diborylsilane

Can weak interactions modify the binding properties of a strong nitrogen donor? Unusual N-coordination of a phosphoranylidene-substituted pyrazolone unit towards palladium(II) centres: an experimental and theoretical study

Selective N(2)-binding of 3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-(triphenylphosphoranylidene)-2-pyrazolin-5-one (L) has been found in two palladium(II) complexes, [PdCl(2)L(2)](2) and [Pd(o-C(6)H(4)CH(2)NMe(2))Cl](3). X-Ray diffraction studies show that the pyrazole rings lie almost perpendicular to the coordination plane. In both complexes the metal atom is located out of the plane defined by the pyrazole ring(s)(dihedral angle between the plane and the Pd-N vector approximately 30 degrees). To investigate the origin of this distortion, a theoretical study was carried out on a simplified model of complex , where a single pyrazolone ligand was replaced by NH(3). From this study it could be inferred that the out-of-plane distortion mainly involves weak, electrostatic interactions between a chlorine atom and an ortho-aromatic H atom of the N(1)-linked phenyl group, as well as between the other chlorine atom and an ortho-aromatic H atom of the PPh(3) group.     

Synthesis and properties of the first stable silylene-isocyanide complexes

The first stable silylene-isocyanide complexes, [Tbt(Mes)SiCNAr] (5 c: Ar=Tip, 5 d: Ar=Tbt, 5 e: Ar=Mes*; Tbt=2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl, Mes=mesityl, Tip=2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl, Mes*=2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl) were successfully synthesized by the reaction of a kinetically stabilized disilene, [Tbt(Mes)Si=Si(Mes)Tbt] (1), with bulky isocyanides, ArNC (3c-e). The spectroscopic data of 5 c-e and theoretical calculations for a model molecule indicated that 5 c-e are not classical cumulative compounds but the first stable silylene-Lewis base complexes. The reactions of 5 c-e with triethylsilane and 1,3-dienes gave the corresponding silylene adducts, and they underwent isocyanide-exchange reactions in the presence of another isocyanide at room temperature. These results indicate dissociation of complexes 5 c-e to the corresponding silylene 2 and isocyanides 3 c-e under very mild conditions. The reaction of 5 c with methanol gave the MeOH adduct 16, [Tbt(Mes)SiHC(OMe)NTip], which has a hydrogen atom on the silicon atom. This regioselectivity can be explained in terms of the contribution of zwitterionic resonance structures D and E, which have an anion on the silicon atom. This result indicates that 5 c is not a classical cumulene having Si=C double bonds that should react with methanol to give adducts bearing a methoxyl group on the silicon atom. Although the reactions of 5 c-e with electrophilic reagents such as methanol, hydrogen chloride, and methyl iodide gave the formal silylene adducts, the studies on the reaction mechanism by trapping experiments and the observation of the intermediate suggested that the reaction mainly or partially proceeds by initial nucleophilic attack of the silicon atom, as is the case in the formation of 16 in the reaction of 5 c with methanol. It was revealed that 5 c-e show the nucleophilicity of the silicon atom, most likely resulting from the contribution of the zwitterionic resonance structures D and E.

Stable 2H-azasilirene and 2H-phosphasilirene: Addition reaction of an overcrowded silylene to a nitrile and a phosphaalkyne

In this paper, we present the reaction of an overcrowded silylene bearing a 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl (Tbt) group with pivalonitrile and t-butylphosphaalkyne to give the corresponding [1+2] cycloadducts, 2H-azasilirene and 2H-phosphasilirene derivatives. This is the first exampleof the isolation of a stable 2H-azasilirene derivative, and the X-ray crystallographic analysis unambiguously revealed its three-membered ring structure in the solid state. In addition, DFT calculations supported three-membered ring character in the structures of the 2H-azasilirene and 2H-phosphasilirene.     

Ytterbium(II) complex bearing a diaminobis(phenolate) ligand: synthesis, structure, and one-electron-transfer and epsilon-caprolactone polymerization reactions

The first divalent ytterbium complex supported by a diaminobis(phenolate) ligand, YbL(THF)2.0.5C7H8 (1; THF = tetrahydrofuran), was synthesized in good yield by the amine elimination reaction of Yb[N(SiMe3)2]2(THF)2 with H2L (L = [Me2NCH2CH2N(CH2-2-OC6H2-3,5-But2)2]) in a 1:1 molar ratio. X-ray structural determination shows complex 1 to be a THF-solvated monomer, which adopts a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the Yb atom. Complex 1 can react with PhNCO and PhCCH, as a single electron-transfer reagent, to give the corresponding reduction coupling product [(YbLOCNPh)(THF)]2.4THF (2) and the alkynide complex YbLCCPh(DME) (3; DME = 1,2-dimethoxyethane). Complexes 2 and 3 have been characterized by X-ray crystal structural analysis. In complex 2, the dianionic oxamide ligand resulting from the reductive coupling of two phenyl isocyanate molecules coordinates to two Yb atoms in a mu,eta4 fashion. Complex 3 has a monomeric structure with a Yb-C(terminal phenylacetynide) bond length of 2.374(3) A. Complex 1 is also a highly efficient catalyst for ring-opening polymerization of epsilon-caprolactone.

Synthesis and structural characterization of cobalt(II) and zinc(II) complexes with 2-(indazol-1-yl)-2-thiazoline (TnInA). X-ray characterization of [CoCl2(TnInA)2] · C2H6O and [(M)(TnInA)2(H2O)2](NO3)2 (M = Co, Zn)

Several complexes of 2-(indazol-1-yl)-2-thiazoline (TnInA) with the divalent ions Co and Zn have been synthesized by the direct combination of the ligand and the metal chloride or nitrate hydrated salts in ethanol. These complexes have been characterized by a variety of physical–chemical techniques. Moreover, the structures of [CoCl₂(TnInA)₂] · C₂H₆O (1) and [(M)(TnInA)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ (M = Co, 3; Zn, 4) were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In all the complexes, the ligand TnInA bonds to the metal ion through the indazole and thiazoline nitrogen atoms. In complex 1 the environment around the cobalt ion may be described as a distorted octahedron with two TnInA ligands and two chlorine ligands. Compounds 3 and 4 are isostructural with a distorted octahedral geometry around the metal center, being linked to two water molecules and two TnInA ligands. However, in complex [ZnCl₂(TnInA)] (2) the zinc atom is four-coordinated with a probable tetrahedral environment with two chloro ligands and one TnInA ligand bonded to the metal ion.
