Synthese,Eigenschaften und Struktur von Amin-Addukten der Lithium-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinkate

Synthesis, Properties, and Structure of the Amine Adducts of Lithium Tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincates . Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc and the aliphatic amine 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazinane (tmta) yield in n-pentane the 1:1 adduct, the tmta molecule bonds as an unidentate ligand to the zinc atom. Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc · tmta crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with {a = 897.7(3); b = 1 114.4(4); c = 1 627.6(6) pm; α = 90.52(1); β = 103.26(1); γ = 102.09(1)°; Z = 2}. The central C₂ZnN moiety displays a nearly T-shaped configuration with a CZnC angle of 157° and Zn? C bond lengths of 199 pm. The Zn? N distances of 239 pm are remarkably long and resemble the loose coordination of this amine; a nearly complete dissociation of this complex is also observed in benzene. The addition of aliphatic amines such as tmta or tmeda to an equimolar etheral solution of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)methanide and bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zinc leads to the formation of the amine adducts of lithium tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincate. Lithium tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]zincate · tmeda · 2 Et₂O crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with {a = 1 920.2(4); b = 2 243.7(5); c = 2 390.9(5) pm; Z = 8}. In the solid state solvent separated ions are observed; the lithium cation is distorted tetrahedrally surrounded by the two nitrogen atoms of the tmeda ligand and the oxygen atoms of both the diethylether molecules. The zinc atom is trigonal planar coordinated; the long Zn? C bonds with a value of 209 pm can be attributed to the steric and electrostatic repulsion of the three carbanionic bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl substituents.     

Aufbau von Trimethylsilyl-substituierten Polyedern aus Calcium,Zinn(II) und Phosphor

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.     

Kristallstrukturen und spektroskopische Eigenschaften von 2λ3‐Phospha‐1, 3‐dionaten und 1, 3‐Dionaten des Calciums ‐ ein Vergleich am Beispiel der 1, 3‐Diphenyl‐ und 1, 3‐Di(tert‐butyl)‐Derivate

Crystal Structures and Spectroscopic Properties of 2λ³‐Phospha‐1, 3‐dionates and 1, 3‐Dionates of Calcium ‐ Comparative Studies on the 1, 3‐Diphenyl and 1, 3‐Di(tert‐butyl) Derivatives A hydrogen‐metal exchange between dibenzoylphosphane and calcium carbide in tetrahydrofuran (THF) followed by addition of the ligand 1, 3, 5‐trimethyl‐1, 3, 5‐triazinane (TMTA) furnishes the binuclear complex bis[(tmta‐N, N′, N″)calcium bis(dibenzoylphosphanide)] ( 1a ) co‐crystallizing with benzene. Similarly, reaction of bis(2, 2‐dimethylpropionyl)phosphane with bis(thf‐O)calcium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] in 1, 2‐dimethoxyethane (DME) gives bis(dme‐O, O′)calcium bis[bis(2, 2‐dimethylpropionyl)phosphanide] ( 1b ) in high yield. The carbon analogues 1, 3‐diphenylpropane‐1, 3‐dione (dibenzoylmethane) or 2, 2, 6, 6‐tetramethylheptane‐3, 5‐dione (dipivaloylmethane) and bis(thf‐O)calcium bis[tris(trimethylsilylmethyl)zincate] in DME afford bis(dme‐O, O′)calcium bis(dibenzoylmethanide) ( 2a ) and the binuclear complex (μ‐dme‐O, O′)bis[(dme‐O, O′)calcium bis(dipivaloylmethanide)] ( 2b ), respectively. Dialkylzinc formed during the metalation reaction shows no reactivity towards the 1, 3‐dionates 2a and 2b . Finally, from the reaction of the unsymmetrically substituted ligand 2‐(methoxycarbonyl)cyclopentanone and bis(thf‐O)calcium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] in toluene, the trinuclear complex 3 is obtained, co‐crystallizing with THF. The β‐ketoester anion bridges solely via the cyclopentanone unit.     

Tris[bis(trimethysilyl)amido]zinkate von Lithium und Calcium

Tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]zincates of Lithium and Calcium Calcium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] and Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]zinc yield in 1,2-dimethoxyethane quantitatively Calcium-bis{tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)- amido]zincate} · 3DME. When THF is chosen as a solvent, the two reactants and the zincate form a temperature-independent equilibrium, whereas in benzene no reaction occurs. The tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]zincate anion displays characteristic ¹³C{¹H) and ²⁹Si{¹H] chemical shifts of 7 and ?8 ppm, respectively; the nature of the solvent, the cation and the complexating ligands don't influence the IR nor NMR data of the zincate anion and thus verify that [Ca(DME)₃]²⁺ and {Zn[N(SiMe_{3 2}]₃}^? appear as solvent separated ions, which is also confirmed by their insolubility in hydrocarbons.     

Synthese von substituierten Calcium-bis(disilylamiden) mittels der Transmetallierung von Zinn(II)- und Zinn(IV)-amiden

Synthesis of Substituted Calcium-bis(disilylamides) by Transmetalation of Tin(II) and Tin(IV) Amides Stannylenes as well as stannanes with substituted disilylamino groups are valuable synthons for the synthesis of alkaline earth metal bis(disilylamides) via the transmetallation reaction. Whereas bis[2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-2,5-disilaaza-cyclo-pentyl]stannylene 1 is a suitable reagent for this type of reaction, bis[trimethylsilyl-tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamino]stannylene 2 (monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 1492.6(2), b = 1705.2(2), c = 1865.3(3) pm, β = 109.03(2)º, Z = 4) is not only attacked at the Sn? N-bond but also the N? Si-bond is cleaved by calcium metal. Similar light sensitivity as for 2 is observed for the mercury bis[trimethylsilyl-tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamide] 3 , the homolytic M? N-bond cleavage leads to the formation of the trimethylsilyl-tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamino radical (g = 2.00485; a(N) = 16.2 G). The calcium tin exchange reaction of 1 in THF yields tris(tetrahydrofuran-O)calcium-bis[2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-2,5-disilaaza-cyclo-pentanide] 4 (monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 1060.9(2), b = 1919.3(5), c = 1686.0(3) pm, β = 90.30(2)º, Z = 4). The stannanes Me_n-4Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]_n with n = 1 or 2 are also valuable materials for the synthesis of bis(tetrahydrofuran-O)calcium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide].

Molecular and Crystal Structure of the dimeric Magnesium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)-amide] The magnesium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] crystallizes as a dimeric molecule in the space group C2/c with {a = 1821.0(4); b = 1494.4(4); c = 1859.6(6) pm; β = 121.10(2)°; Z = 4 dimers}. The cyclic planar Mg₂N₂ moiety shows endocyclic NMgN angles of 95.8°. The bond lengths within this ring system to the four-coordinate, bridging nitrogen atoms N^b are 215 pm, whereas the distances between the magnesium atom and the terminal, three-coordinate nitrogen atom N^t display values of approximately 198 pm. These different coordination numbers of the nitrogen atoms affect the NSi bond length (N^tSi 171, N^bSi 177 pm).

Si distance of 263 pm is considerably longer than the sum of covalent radii; further characteristic mean bond lengths and angles are: Si? Si 234, Li? O 200, O? C 144, O?O (biß) 264 pm; Si? Si? Si 104°, Li? Si? Si 107° to 126°; O? Li? O (inside the chelate ring) 83°. Unfortunately, di(tert-butyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)silane 17 prepared from di(tert-butyl)dichlorsilane 15 , chlorotrimethylsilane and lithium, does not react with alkyllithium compounds to give the analogous silanide.

Synthesis and Characterization of Hetero-bimetallic Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanides of Barium and Tin The reaction of barium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] with one equivalent of bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphane in 1,2-dimethoxyethane (dme) yields the heteroleptic dimeric (dme)barium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide. This colorless compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 259.1(3), b = 1 822.7(4), c = 1 516.1(3) pm, β = 110.54(3)° and Z = 4.

In the presence of bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino]stannylene hetero-bimetallic bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanides of tin(II) and barium are isolated. If the reaction of Ba[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ and Sn[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ in the molar ratio of 1:2 with six equivalents of HP(SiMe₃)₂ is performed in toluene, barium bis{tin(II)-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide]} can be isolated.

Monomeric bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-tris(trimethylsilyl)methylzinc yields from the reaction of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)methanide and lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide with zinc(II) chloride. Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-methylzinc crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with {a = 1 007.6(1); b = 1 872.3(3); c = 2 231.0(4) pm; Z = 4} as a trimeric molecule with a central cyclic Zn₃P₃ moiety in the twist-boat conformation.

Treatment of these solutions with stoichiometric amounts of 85% tetrafluoroboric acid · diethylether adduct yields yelloworange tetrakis(2,2-dimethylpropionyl)diarsine ( 5 ) in 64 or 62% yield resp., but not the expected bis (2,2-dimethylpropionyl)arsine ( 4a ). The very air-sensitive compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n {?100 ± 3° C; a = 1224.6(3); b = 1419.7(3); c = 1333.1(3) pm; β = 96.22(2)°; Z = 4}.

S]^? [Li(dme)₃]⁺ – ( 1a ). Apart from bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfane or carbon oxide sulfide, dark red concentrated solutions of λ³-phosphaalkyne 1 are also obtained from reactions of carbon disulfide with bis(tetrahydrofuran)-lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanide or with the homologous lithoxy-methylidynephosphane ( 2 ) [1]. The ir spectrum shows two absorptions at 1762 and 747 cm^?1 characteristic for the P≡C and C? S stretching vibrations. The nmr parameters {δ(³¹P) ? 121.3; δ(¹³C) 190.8 ppm; ¹J_CP 18.2 Hz} resemble much more values of diorganylamino-2λ³-phosphaalkynes than those of bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithoxy-methylidyne-phosphane ( 2a ). As found by an X-ray structure analysis (P2₁/c; a = 1192.6(16); b = 1239.1(19); c = 1414.8(26) pm; β = 105.91(13)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; wR = 0.064) of pale yellow crystals (mp. + 16°C) isolated from the reaction with O,O′-diethyl thiocarbonate, the solid is built up of separate [P≡C? S]^? and [Li(dme)₃]⁺ ions. Typical bond lengths and angles are: P≡C 155.5(11); C? S 162.0(11); Li? O 206.4(17) to 220.3(20) pm; P≡C? S 178.9(7)°.     

(Benzene‐1,3,5‐triyl)tris[phosphine] (C6H3(PH2)3) and (Benzene‐1,3,5‐triyl)tris[phosphonic Acid] (C6H3[P(O)(OH)2]3). Absence of Hydrogen Bonding in Solid Primary Phosphines

The prolonged photo‐Arbuzov reaction (3 weeks, Hg lamp) of 1,3,5‐trichloro‐benzene with a large excess of trimethyl phosphite (as a solvent) at 50° gives moderate yields of dimethyl (3,5‐dichlorophenyl)phosphonate ( 1 ; 14.5%), tetramethyl (5‐chloro‐1,3‐phenylene)bis[phosphonate] ( 2 ; 35.4%), and hexamethyl (benzene‐1,3,5‐triyl)tris[phosphonate] ( 3 ; 30.1%). The products can be separated by fractional distillation. Acid hydrolysis of the esters gives almost quantitative yields of the corresponding phosphonic acids 4 – 6 . Reduction of the esters 1 – 3 by LiAlH₄ in tetrahydrofuran affords the primary phosphines (3,5‐dichlorophenyl)phosphine ( 7 ; 46.5%), (5‐chloro‐1,3‐phenylene)bis[phosphine] ( 8 ; 34.5%) and (benzene‐1,3,5‐triyl)tris[phosphine] ( 9 ; 25.2% yield). In the crude reduction products from 2 (preparation of 8 ) and from 3 (preparation of 9 ), (3‐chlorophenyl)phosphine and (1,3‐phenylene)bis[phosphine], respectively, are observed as by‐products. All compounds are characterized by standard analytical, spectroscopic, and (for 1, 7 , and 8 ) structural techniques. The arrangement of the molecules in the crystal structures of 7 and 8 suggest that H‐bonding between the primary arylphosphines is virtually insignificant for the packing of the components. This is in marked contrast to the importance of H‐bonding for the supramolecular chemistry of arylamines. The new primary polyphosphines and polyphosphonic acids are to be employed in the construction of extended arrays.     

Calcium Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amino‐triethylgallate] — A Molecule with Ca‐C‐Ga Three‐Center Bonds

In the solid state the calcium atoms are coordinated by two nitrogen atoms and two ethyl groups, whereas in solution all ethyl substituents are magnetically equivalent even at low temperatures. The Ca‐C‐Ga two‐electron three‐center bonds show mean Ca‐N and Ca‐C distances of 243 and 268 pm, respectively.

The covalent radius of 154 pm as determined for the DME-complexed lithium in tellanide 1 is within the range of 155 ± 3 pm, also characteristic for similar compounds.

The vibrational data are in agreement with either D_3h or a D_3d symmetry. The latter had been shown to be the correct one at least for the solid state by X-ray diffraction experiments. All three compounds crystallize isomorphically in the triclinic centrosymmetric space group P1 . [ 2 (T = 293 K): a = 9.4388(11); b = 9.744(2); c = 12.926(2); α = 68.200(12); β = 71.971(10); γ = 60.925(10); Z = 1; (T = 173 K): a = 9.336(6); b = 9.585(5); c = 12.488(8); α = 68.77(4); β = 72.28(4); γ = 62.06(4); 3 : a = 9.467(2); b = 9.749(2); c = 12.885(2); α = 67.840(14); β = 71.510(14); γ = 60.890(14); Z = 1]. The Hg—Si bondlength in 3 was found to be 246.9(2)pm, somewhat shorter then in all disilylmercury derivatives investigated sofar and even shorter than the Cd—Si bond in 2 (250.4(1)pm). Bondlengths and angles within the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group are virtually equal in all three group 12 derivatives and lie in the expected range.     

Synthese und Molekülstruktur von Barium-bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinat] · DME · THF

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Barium Bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] ° DME ° THF Barium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · thf · dme crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 122.0(2), b = 2 190.7(4), c = 1 840.2(3) pm, β = 98.04(1)° and Z = 4 containing a metal center in a distorted monocapped trigonal prismatic surrounding. The barium dibenzamidinate moiety is sent with an angle of 120°, although this leads to different Ba? N distances of 273 and 282 pm originating from the interligand repulsion of the trimethylsilyl groups and the dme substituent. The 1,3-diazaallyl fragment with C? N bond lengths of 132 pm shows a delocalisation of the anionic charge.
