Bis(trimethylsilyl)diimine: Preparation,Structure, and Reactivity

The highly reactive compound bis(trimethylsilyl)diimine (BSD), which was first prepared by oxidation of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)hydrazide, is light blue, sensitive to thermolysis and hydrolysis, and ignites spontaneously in air. On the basis of electron transfer, acid-base, or free-radical reactions, it acts in particular as a (preparatively useful) redox system and as an agent for the introduction of azo groups. Redox reactions lead by oxidation or reduction of the other reactant through two oxidation stages to hydrazine derivatives or molecular nitrogen, and in the case of electrochemical reduction, to BSD radical-anions. Azo-group transfers, on the other hand, yield new inorganic azo compounds with no change in the oxidation state of the diimine group.     

Reaktionen einiger Methylmetallhalogenide des Aluminiums,Galliums und Indiums mit Hexamethyldisilazan

Reactions of some Methylmetal Halides of Aluminium, Gallium, and Indium with Hexamethyldisilazane MeAlCl₂ or MeGaBr₂, and bis(trimethylsilyl)amine form the dimeric, mixed-substituted ring molecules (Me(Hal)M^III–N(H)SiMe₃)₂ and one equivalent Me₃SiHal. The NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si) and vibrational spectra (IR, Raman) are measured and the X-ray structure analysis of the compound with M^III = Al and Hal = Cl, has been done as well. Me₂AlCl with an excess of HN(SiMe₃)₂ forms the expected amide (Me₂Al–N(H)SiMe₃)₂, the homologue Me₂GaCl with HMDS, however, gives at 50–55 °C only the cyclic (1 : 1) adduct (Me₂Ga–N(H)SiMe₃) · (Me₂GaCl). This complex crystallizes in the space group Cmc2₁, the unit cell consists of four binucleate molecules with folded Ga–N–Ga–Cl-ring skeletons.

Darstellung,Eigenschaften und elektronische Raman-Spektren von Bis(chloro)phthalocyaninatoferrat(III), -ruthenat(III) und -osmat(III)

Preparation, Properties and Electronic Raman Spectra of Bis(chloro)-phthalocyaninatoferrate(III), -ruthenate(III) and -osmate(III) Bis(chloro)phthalocyaninatometalates of Fe^III, Ru^III and Os^III [MCl₂Pc(2-)]^?, with an electronic low spin ground state are formed by the reaction of [FeClPc(2-)] resp. H[MX₂Pc(2?)] (M = Ru, Os; X = Cl, I) with excess chloride in weakly coordinating solvents (DMF, THF) and are isolated as (n-Bu₄N) salts. The asym. M? Cl stretch (ν_as(MCl)) is observed in the f.i.r. at 288 cm^?1 (Fe), 295 cm^?1 (Ru), 298 cm^?1 (Os), ν_as(MN) at 330 cm^?1 (Fe), 327 cm^?1 (Ru), and 317 cm^?1 (Os); only ν_s(OsCl) at 311 cm^?1 is resonance Raman (r.r.) enhanced with blue excitation. The m.i.r. and FT-Raman spectra are typical for hexacoordinated phthalocyanines of tervalent metal ions. The UV-vis spectra show besides the characteristic π-π* transitions (B, Q, N, L band) of the Pc ligand a number of extra bands at 12–15 kK and 18–24 kK due to trip-doublet and (Pc→M)CT transitions. The effect of metal substitution is discussed. The r.r. spectra obtained by excitation between the B and Q band (λ₀ = 476.5 nm) are dominated by the intraconfigurational transition Γ₇ Γ ₈ arrising from the spin-orbit splitting of the electronic ground state for Fe^III at 536 cm^?1, for Ru^III at 961 cm^?1 and Os^III at 3 028 cm^?1. Thus the spin-orbit coupling constant increases very greatly down the iron group: Fe^III (357 cm^?1)< Ru^III (641 cm^?1)< Os^III (2 019 cm^?1). The Γ₇ Γ ₈-transition is followed by a very pronounced vibrational finestructure being composed in the r.r. spectra by the coupling with ν_s(MCl), δ(MClN) and the most intense fundamental vibrations of the Pc ligand. In absorption only vibronically induced transitions are observed for the Ru and Os complex at 1 700-2800 rsp. 3100-5800 em^?1 instead of the 0-0 phonon transitions. The most intense lines are attributed to combinations of the intense odd vibrational mo-des at ≈ 740 and 1120 cm^?1 with ν₅(MCI), δ(MClN).

The complex is paramagnetic (μ_eff = 1.84 μ_B). Oxidation of [Bi(Pc^2?)₂]^? with bromine yields purple, diamagnetic [Bi(Pc^?)₂]Br_x (1.5 ≤ x ≤ 2.5). The redox properties are investigated electrochemically. UV-Vis-NIR, MIR/FIR and resonance Raman spectra of the new bismuth(III) complexes are discussed and compared with those of diphthalocyaninates of the lanthanides.

It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 as dichloromethane solvate ( 1 ) and in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n as hydrate ( 2 ). The crystal structures of ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) are reported. Each salt contains two crystallographically slightly different discrete [LiPc^2?]^? anions, in which the square-planar coordinated Li⁺ cation is centered within the planar Pc^2? ligand (D_av.(Li? N_iso) = 1.945 Å). There are three different conformations for the (PNP) cation: ( 1 ) only contains the bent conformer (d_av.(P? N) = 1.575 Å; φ(P? N? P) = 140.8°), while in ( 2 ) an hybrid (d_av.(P? N) = 1.562 Å; φ(P? N? P) = 158.1°) and the linear conformer (d_av.(P? N) = 1.547 Å; φ(P? N? P) = 176.8°) are present. The very soluble, blue-green salts melt at 265°C without decomposition. In accordance with cyclovoltammetric data thin films of (PNP)[LiPc^2?] are oxidized by NO₂ or Br₂ to yield brown violet [LiPc^?]. The electronic absorption spectra and the vibrational spectra are discussed.     

Chemie polyfunktioneller Moleküle. 116. Hydrido-, Deuterido-, Thiolato- und Chlororuthenium(II)-Komplexe des Bis(diphenylphosphino)amins

Chemistry of Polyfunctional Molecules. 116 Hydrido-, Deuterido-, Thiolato-, and Chlororuthenium(II) Complexes of Bis(diphenylphosphino)amine Bis(diphenylphosphino)amine, [(C₆H₅)₂P]₂NH (dppa, 1 ), reacts with [Ru(cod)(cot)] (cod = η-1,5-cyclooctadiene, cot = η-1,3,5-cyclooctatriene) ( 2 ) in a molar ratio of 2 : 1 both in a hydrogen or deuterium atmosphere at room temperature to yield cis-[Ru(H)₂(dppa)₂] ( 3 ) and cis-[Ru(D)₂(dppa)₂] ( 3 a ), respectively. The dihydride complex 3 is very sensitive towards halogenated solvents: dissolution of 3 in CHCl₃ or CH₂Cl₂ produces the monohydride compound trans-[RuCl(H)(dppa)₂] ( 4 ). Treatment of 3 with a threefold excess of tert-butyl mercaptane, Me₃CSH, at room temperature results in the formation of cis-[Ru(H)(SCMe₃)(dppa)₂] ( 5 ). Trans-[RuCl₂(dppa)₂] ( 7 ) can be synthesized by the interaction of [RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃] ( 6 ) with one or two equivalents of 1 in CH₂Cl₂ solution. The NMR spectra of 3, 3 a, 4, 5 and 7 are discussed with respect to molecular stereochemistry and hydrogen-halogen exchange under simultaneous cis-trans rearrangement. In addition to ¹H, ²H, ³¹P{¹H}, and ³¹P NMR, the structures of the different complexes were also derived from 1R, Raman, and mass spectra. The NMR spectra simulation of 3 permits detailed assignments of spin-spin coupling constants. Crystals of cis-[Ru(H)(SCMe₃)(dppa)₂] ( 5 ) are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, with a = 1 179.9(3), b = 2 228.0(4), c = 1 854.8(6) pm, β = 96.23(2)°, Z = 4, and R_w = 0.062. The structural analysis shows that ruthenium is coordinated by two bidentate organophosphine ligands and by one tert-butyl thiolate molecule. The metal bound hydrogen atom was not located. However, in agreement with ¹H NMR, its position is trans to a phosphorus nucleus.

InIII-Phthalocyanine: Darstellung,Eigenschaften und Kristallstruktur von Tetra(n-butyl)ammonium-cis-di(nitrito-O,O′)phthalocyaninato(2–)indat(III)

In^III-Phthalocyanines: Synthesis, Properties, and Crystal Structure of Tetra(n-butyl)ammonium-cis-di(nitrito-O,O')phthalocyaninato(2–)indate(III) [In(Cl)Pc^2?] reacts with (ⁿBu₄N)NO₂ in acetone yielding green-blue (ⁿBu₄N)^cis[In(NO₂)₂Pc^2?], which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14). Both nitrite anions are coordinated as chelating nitrito-O,O'(NO₂) ligands to In^III in cis-geometry. Consequently In^III is octa-coordinated within a distorted “quadratic” antiprism and directed towards the Pc^2?-ligand. One of the NO₂ ligands has equivalent N? O bonds similar to free nitrite, while the other has asymmetric N? O bonds. Both (In,O,N,O) rings are approximately planar with a dihedral angle of 80°. The Pc^2? ligand is distorted in an asymmetrically convex manner. Partially overlapping pairs of Pc^2? ligands related by an inversion center form double layers, which are separated by layers containing the (ⁿBu₄N)⁺ cations. The cyclic voltammogram shows three electrode processes, which are assigned to the redox pairs: Pc^3?/Pc^2? (?0.94 V) < In^I/In^III (-0.78 V) < Pc^2?/Pc^? (0.64 V). The UV-VIS-NIR spectra and vibrational spectra are discussed.

Synthesis of Trimethylsilyl Substituted Polyhedra of Calcium, Tin(II), and Phosphorus The reaction of calcium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] with bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphane in thf yields the heteroleptic, dimeric (tetrahydrofuran-O)calcium-bis(trimethylsilyl)amidebis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide 1 (triclinic, P 1 , a = 1066,6(2), b = 1141,3(2), c = 1226,6(2)pm, α = 97,78(3)°, β = 107,47(3)°, γ = 101,12(3)°, Z = 1 dimer). The bridging phosphanide-substituent displays with Ca? P bond lengths of 292,6 and 300,5 pm a distortion of the four-membered Ca₂P₂-cycle. The reaction with another equivalent of HP(SiMe₃)₂ in thf leads to the formation of tetrakis(tetrahydrofuran-O)calcium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide] 2 mit Ca? P distances of 292 pm (monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 1626,0(3), b = 1295,3(4), c = 2039,5(5) pm, β = 102,60(2)°, Z = 4). The performance of the reaction in the presence of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]stannylene yields heterobimetallic compounds with a central polyhedron of Ca-, Sn- and P-atoms. Dependent on the Sn/Ca ratio the isolation of tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane as well as bis[tris(tetrahydrofuran-O)calcium]-ditin(II)-tetrakis(μ₃-trimethylsilylphosphandiide) 3 with a central dicalcia-distanna-tetraphosphacubane-fragment or (thf)₂CaSn₂[μ-P(SiMe₃)₂]₂[μ₃-PSiMe₃]₂ 4 (orthorhombic, Pnma, a = 2247,7(2), b = 1868,9(1), c = 1168,0(1) pm, Z = 4), respectively, succeeds. The Ca? P distances lie at 291 pm.
