Synthesis and crystal structure of ZnPhen(i-Pr2NCS2)2 and molecule packing types in complexes ZnPhen(R2NCS2)2 (R=Me,Et, i-Pr,n-Pr,i-Bu,n-Bu)

A novel mixed-ligand complex ZnPhen(i-Pr₂NCS₂)₂ has been synthesized and its single crystals grown. We have determined its crystal structure from X-ray diffraction data. The structure consists of monomeric molecules; a zinc atom surrounded by two nitrogen and four sulfur atoms making a distorted octahedron. Various packing modes of molecules forming isolated ‘dimers’, ribbons (chains), columns and layers have emerged from the study of the spatial molecule arrangement in the complexes ZnPhen(R₂NCS₂)₂ (R=Me, Et, i-Pr, n-Pr, i-Bu, n-Bu). The interactions between the Phen molecules have also been studied for these complexes.

Die Reaktionen von tBu2P–P=P(Me)tBu2 und (Me3Si)tBuP–P=P(Me)tBu2 mit PR3

The Reactions of ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ and (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ with PR₃ ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ ( 1 ) reacts at 20 °C with PMe₃, PEt₃, P(c‐Hex)₃, P(p‐Tol)₃, PPh₂Me, PPh₂Et, PPhEt₂, PPh₂ⁱPr, PPh₃ and P(NEt₂)₃ yielding ^tBu₂P–P=PR₃ and ^tBu₂PMe; however, P^tBu₃, P^tBu₂(SiMe₃) and ^tBu₂PCl don't. ^tBu₂PH and 1 form ^tBu₂P–PH–P^tBu₂ which yields ^tBu₂P–P=PEt₃ when treated with PEt₃. Ph₂PH, ^tBuPH₂, PH₃, Ph₂PCl and EtOH don't substitute the ^tBu₂PMe group in 1 , instead, the molecule is decomposed. With PEt₃, (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ forms (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=PEt₃. The compounds ^tBu₂P–P=PR₃ decompose at 20 °C to different degrees giving P‐rich consecutive products of the phosphinophosphinidene.

tBu₂P–PLi–PtBu₂ · 2THF reacts with [(R₃P)₂MCl₂] (M = Pt, Pd, Ni; R₃P = Et₃P, pTol₃P, Ph₂EtP, iPr₃P) to yield isomers of [(1,2‐η‐tBu₂P=P–PtBu₂)M(PR₃)Cl], in which the tBu₂P–P–PtBu₂ ligand adopts the arrangement of a side‐on bonded 1,1‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐(di‐tert‐butylphosphanyl)diphosphenium cation. tBu₂P–PLi–P(NEt₂)₂ · 2THF reacts with [(R₃P)₂MCl₂] but does not form complexes with a tBu₂P–P–P(NEt₂)₂ moiety, however, splitting of a P–P(NEt₂)₂ bond of the parent triphosphane takes place.     

Variable trends in R-X bond dissociation energies (R = Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu)

[structure: see text] High level ab initio molecular orbital calculations confirm experimental indications that the effect of alkyl substituents (R = Me, Et, i-Pr, t-Bu) on R-X bond dissociation energies varies considerably according to the nature of X. A simple qualitative explanation in terms of valence-bond theory is presented, highlighting the increasing importance of the stabilization of R-X by the ionic R(+)X(-) configuration for electronegative X substituents (such as F, OH, and OCH(3)).

However, there is no indication for an isomer which would be the analogue to the well known [η²‐{^tBu₂P–P}Pt(PPh₃)₂].

Reactions of ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ with (Et₃P)₂NiCl₂ and [{η²‐C₂H₄}Ni(PEt₃)₂] ^tBu₂P–P=P(Me)^tBu₂ ( 1 ) forms with (Et₃P)₂NiCl₂ ( 2 ) and Na(Nph) the [μ‐(1,3 : 2,3‐η‐^tBu₂P₄^tBu₂){Ni(PEt₃)Cl}₂] ( 3 ) as main product. Using Na/Hg instead as reducing agent the Ni⁰ compounds [{η²‐^tBu₂P–P}Ni(PEt₃)₂] ( 4 ), [{η²‐^tBu₂P–P=P–P^tBu₂}Ni(PEt₃)₂] ( 5 ) and [(Et₃P)Ni(μ‐P^tBu₂)]₂ ( 6 ) with four‐membered Ni₂P₂ ring result. [{η²‐C₂H₄}Ni(PEt₃)₂] yields with 1 also 4 . The compounds were characterized by ¹H and ³¹P{¹H} NMR investigations and 3 also by a single crystal X‐ray analysis. It crystallizes triclinic in the space group P 1 with a = 1129.4(2), b = 1256.8(3), c = 1569.5(3) pm, α = 72.44(3)°, β = 70.52(3)° and γ = 74.20(3)°.     

Die Phosphide LiR2P7, Li2RP7 (R = Me3Si,Et, iPr,iBu) und alkyliert-silylierte Heptaphosphane(3)

The Phosphides LiR₂P₇, Li₂RP₇ (R = Me₃Si, Et, iPr, iBu) as well as Mixed Alkylated and Silylated Heptaphosphanes(3) Formation and properties of LiR₂P₇ and Li₂PR₇ (R = Me₃Si, Et, iPr, iBu) and their reactions with Me₃SiCl or alkylhalides yielding mixed alkylated and silylated heptaphosphanes(3) are reported. Reactions of (Me₃Si)₃P₇ and Li₃P₇. 3 DME produce mixtures of Li(Me₃Si)₃P₇, Li₂(Me₃Si)P₇ and Li₃P₇ from which pure Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (s, as) can be isolated by means of an extraction with toluene. Similarly, the isomers of LiR₂P₇ (R = Et, iPr, iBu) can be extracted from the mixtures obtained by reacting Li₃P₇ with alkylbromides. The (s) isomers of LiR₂P₇ in solution at about 20°C from the (as) isomers whereas the latter up to 70°C do not show any inversion. The (as) lithiumdialkylphosphides can be obtained as ether free products (red brown powder, isoluble in toluene, soluble in THF) by repeated addition of toluene and removal of the solvents; the (s) isomers decompose during the procure. In reactions of LiEt₂P₇. THF (s, as) in toluene at ?30°C with EtBr only the (s) isomer is substituted and gives Et₃P₇ (s), however on warming to 20°C by inversion of P^e a ratio of (s) : (as( = 1 : 3 is obtained. With Li(iBu)₂P₇, (s) reaction begins above ?20°C the giving both the (s) and the (as) isomer. (iBu)₃P₇ (s) is the prefered isomer at higher temperatures. Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (s, as) with Me₃SiCl exclusively yields (Me₃Si)₃P₇ (s). Li₂RP₇ (R = alkyl, Me₃SI) is not available. From mixtures with LiR₂P₇ and Li₃P₇, it can be isolated only after repeated cumbersome extraction of LiR₂P₇ as was shown with Li₂(iPr)P₇ as an example. Ether free LiEt₂P₇(s, as) with Me₃SiCl exclusively gives Et₂(Me₃Si)P₇ (s, as) whereas LiEt₂P₇ ? THF due to its THF content does not. Similarly, ether free Li(iBu)₂P₇ yields (iBu)₂(Me₃Si)P₇ (s, as). The compounds R(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (R = alkyl) cannot be selectively prepared neither starting from Li₂RP₇ with Me₃SiCI) nor from Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ with RX. Such, the reaction of Li(Me₃Si)₂P₇ ? THF with EtBr in toluene at ?78°C yield a mixture of Et(Me₃Si)₂P₇ (42%), Et₂(Me₃Si)P₇ (27010), (Me₃Si)₃P₇ (29%) and Et₃P₇ (2%). (Me₃Si)₃P₇ with MeI in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 at 70°C quantitatively produces Me(Me₃Si)₂P₇ whereas already using a molar ratio of 1 : 2 also Me₃P₇ is obtained. With EtBr mixtures of Et(Me₃Si)₂P₇ and Et₃P₇ are formed. iBuBr gives iBu₃P₇, but tBuBr does not yield any tBu₃P₇.     

The open-chain triphosphanes RMe2SiCH2P(PR'2)2 (R = Me, Ph; R' = SiMe3, Cy, Ph)

The triphosphanes RMe(2)SiCH(2)P(PR'(2))(2) (R = Me, Ph; R' = SiMe(3), Cy) are synthesised in good yield via metathesis of organodichlorophosphanes and LiPR'(2), while for R' = Ph a propensity to form (Ph(2)P)(2) precludes isolation of the in situ characterised triphosphanes. Where R = Me and R' = SiMe(3) the triphosphane has also been characterised by single crystal X-ray diffraction and exhibits a single geometric conformer in the solid state, though solution-phase NMR spectra are indicative of facile conformational exchange across a wide temperature range. All of the described triphosphanes exhibit comparable behaviour, with their respective (31)P{(1)H} NMR spectra manifesting anomalous 'second-order' characteristics, which are considered using full spin-Hamiltonian simulation. Preliminary studies of coordination chemistry and ancillary reactivity of the triphosphanes are described.     

Zur Bildung cyclischer Silylphosphane Umsetzung von Li-Phosphiden mit R2SiCl2 (R = Me,Et, t-Bu)

Formation of Cyclic Silylphosphanes. Reaction of Li-Phosphides with R₂SiCl₂ (R? Me, Et, t-Bu) The reaction of Me₂SiCl₂ with Li-phosphides (mixture of LiPH₂, Li₂PH) leads to the formation of Me₂Si(PH₂)Cl 1 , Me₂Si(PH₂)₂ 2 , H₂P? SiMe₂? PH? SiMe₂Cl 3 , (H₂P? SiMe₂)₂PH 4 , (HP? SiMe₂)₃ 6 , 5 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 40 . Excess of phosphides in Et₂O – as well as excess of LiPH₂ – favourably forms 10 . Li₂PH (virtually free of Li₃P and LiPH₂) is obtained by reaction of LiPH₂ · DME with LiBu; Li₃P by reaction of PH₃ with LiBu in toluene. Isomerization by Li/H migration determines the course of reaction of the PH-bearing compounds with Li-phosphides. With Me₂SiCl₂ Li₃P mainly generates compound 10 . The reaction of the Li-phosphides with Et₂SiCl₂ mainly leads to (HP? SiEt₂)₃ 18 and (HP? SiEt₂)₂ 17 as well as to Et₂Si(PH₂)Cl 11 , Et₂Si(PH₂)₂ 12 , (ClEt₂Si)₂PH 13 , H₂P? SiEt₂? PH? SiEt₂Cl 14 , (H₂P? SiEt₂)₂PH 15 and 16 . In the reaction with LiPH₂ · DME the same compounds are obtained and isomerization by Li/H migration (formation of PH₃) already begins at ?70°C. In toluene ClEt₂Si? P(SiEt₂)₂P? SiEt₂Cl is additionally formed. Derivatives of 9, 10, 40 are not observed. The reaction of (t-Bu)₂SiCl₂ with LiPH₂ leads to HP[Si(t-Bu)₂]₂PH 20 (yield 76%) and formation of PH₃, the reaction with Li₂PH to 20 (54%) besides HP[Si(t-Bu)₂]₂PLi 21 .     

Beiträge zur Chemie des Phosphors. 117. Synthese und Eigenschaften der Hexaorganyl-octaphosphane(6) P8R6, R = Me,Et, Pri

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 117. Synthesis and Properties of the Hexaorganyl-octaphosphanes(6) P₈R₆, R = Me, Et, Prⁱ The Hexaorganyl-octaphosphanes(6) P₈Me₆ ( 1 ), P₈Et₆ ( 2 ), and P₈Pr ( 3 ) have been obtained by reacting mixtures of the corresponding organyldichlorophosphanes and phosphorus(III) chloride with magnesium. In the case of 1 and 2 the organyl-cyclophosphanes (PR)_n can also be used in the reaction with phosphorus(III) chloride and magnesium. Besides, mainly P₇R₅ as well as other polycyclic organylphosphanes are formed. 2 and 3 have been isolated as pure substances, whereas 1 was concentrated to ?50 mol-% in the product mixture. According to their ³¹P-NMR spectra the three compounds possess a pentalane-analogous P₈-skeleton with the substituents within each five-membered ring in trans position and the substituents of different five-membered rings next to the zero bridge in cis position; the organyl groups in the 3, 7 position are trans oriented with respect to the free electron pairs of the bridgehead atoms. Therefore, the structures of 1 – 3 differ from the known tert-butyl compound P₈Bu, whereas the corresponding phosphorus hydride P₈H₆ has the same pentalane-analogous P₈-skeleton, thus being a bicyclo[3.3.0]octaphosphane.     

Über Bildung und Reaktionen der CH2Li‐Derivate von tBu2P–P=P(CH3)tBu2 und (Me3Si)tBuP–P=P(CH3)tBu2

Formation and Reactions of the CH₂Li‐Derivatives of ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ and (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ With ⁿBuLi, (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 1 ) and ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 2 ) yield (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₂Li)^tBu₂ ( 3 ) and ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₂Li)^tBu₂ ( 4 ), wich react with Me₃SiCl to give (Me₃Si)^tBuP–P=P(CH₂–SiMe₃)^tBu₂ ( 5 ) and ^tBu₂P–P=P(CH₂–SiMe₃)^tBu₂ ( 6 ), respectively. With ^tBu₂P–P(SiMe₃)–P^tBuCl ( 7 ), compound 3 forms 5 as well as the cyclic products [H₂C–P(^tBu)₂=P–P(^tBu)–P^tBu] ( 8 ) and [H₂C–P(^tBu)₂=P–P(P^tBu₂)–P(^tBu)] ( 9 ). Also 3 forms 8 with ^tBuPCl₂. The cleavage of the Me₃Si–P‐bond in 1 by means of C₂Cl₆ or N‐bromo‐succinimide yields (Cl)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 10 ) or (Br)^tBuP–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 11 ), resp. With LiP(SiMe₃)₂, 10 forms (Me₃Si)₂P–P(^tBu)–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 12 ), and Et₂P–P(^tBu)–P=P(CH₃)^tBu₂ ( 13 ) with LiPEt₂. All compounds are characterized by ³¹P NMR Data and mass spectra; the ylide 5 and the THF adduct of 4 additionally by X‐ray structure analyses.

Einfluß der Ringatome auf die Struktur von Triel‐Pentel‐Heterozyklen – Synthese und Molekülstrukturen von [Me2InAs(SiMe3)2]2 und [Me2InSb(SiMe3)2]3

Influence of the Ring Atoms on the Structure of Triel‐Pentel Heterocycles – Synthesis and X‐Ray Crystal Structures of [Me₂InAs(SiMe₃)₂]₂ and [Me₂InSb(SiMe₃)₂]₃ Triel‐pentel heterocycles [Me₂InE(SiMe₃)₂]_x have been prepared by dehalosilylation reactions from Me₂InCl and E(SiMe₃)₃ (E = As, x = 2; E = Sb, x = 3) and characterised by NMR spectroscopy and by X‐ray crystal structure analyses. In addition the X‐ray crystal structures of [Me₂GaAs(SiMe₃)₂]₂ and [Me₂InP(SiMe₃)₂]₂ are reported. The compounds complete a family of 13 identically substituted heterocycles [Me₂ME(SiMe₃)₂]_x (M = Al, Ga, In; E = N, P, As, Sb, Bi; x = 2, 3), whose structures were investigated depending on the ring atoms M and E. The tendencies that have been observed concerning the ring sizes can be explained by the interplay of the atomic radii of the central atoms and the sterical demand of the ligands. After a formal separation of the M–E bonds in σ bonds and dative bonds the characteristic differences and trends in the endocyclic and exocyclic bond angles of both centres M and E can be interpreted on the basis of a simple Lewis acid/base adduct model.

Zur Bildung der Cyclotetraphosphane cis- und trans-P4(SiMe3)2(CMe3)2 bei der Umsetzung von (Me3C)PCl2 mit LiP(SiMe3)2 · 2 THF

Formation of the Cyclotetraphosphanes cis- und trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ in the Reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF The mechanism of the reaction of (Me₃C)PCl₂ 1 with LiP(SiMe₃)₂ · 2 THF 2 was investigated. With a mole ration of 1:1 at ?60°C quantitatively (Me₃C)(Cl)P? P(SiMe₃)₂ 3 is formed. This compound eliminates Me₃SiCl on warming to 20°C, yielding Me₃Si? P?P? CMe₃ 4 (can be trapped using 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene in a 4+2 cycloaddition), which dimerizes to produce the cyclotetraphosphanes cis-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 5 and trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 . Also with a mole ratio of 1:2 initially 3 is formed which remarkably slower reacts on to give [(Me₃Si)₂P]P₂P? CMe₃ 8 . Remaining LiP(SiMe₃)₂ cleaves one Si? P bond of 8 producing (Me₃)₂P? P(CMe₃)? P(SiMe₃)₂Li. Via a condensation to the pentaphosphide 10 and an elimination of LiP(SiMe₃)₂ from this intermediate, eventually trans-P₄(SiMe₃)₂(CMe₃)₂ 6 is obtained as the exclusive cyclotetra-phosphane product.     

Reactions of tBu2P–PLi–PtBu2 with [(Et3P)2MCl2] (M = Ni,Pd, Pt). Synthesis and Properties of [(1,2‐η‐tBu2P=P–PtBu2)M(PEt3)Cl] (M=Ni,Pd)

^tBu₂P–PLi–P^tBu₂·2THF reacts with [cis‐(Et₃P)₂MCl₂] (M = Ni, Pd) yielding [(1,2‐η‐^tBu₂P=P–P^tBu₂)Ni(PEt₃)Cl] and [(1,2‐η‐^tBu₂P=P–P^tBu2)Pd(PEt₃)Cl], respectively. ^tBu₂P– PLi–P^tBu₂ undergoes an oxidation process and the ^tBu₂P–P–P^tBu₂ ligand adopts in the products the structure of a side‐on bonded 1,1‐di‐tert‐butyl‐2‐(di‐tert‐butylphosphino)diphosphenium cation with a short P–P bond. Surprisingly, the reaction of ^tBu₂P–PLi–P^tBu₂·2THF with [cis‐(Et₃P)₂PtCl₂] does not yield [(1,2‐η‐^tBu₂P=P–P^tBu₂)Pt(PEt₃)Cl].

Similarly, phosphenium complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂M=P(H)tBu] (M = W ( 6 ); Mo ( 8 )) were converted into (M = W ( 11 ); Mo ( 12 )) by the formal abstraction of the phosphanediyl [PtBu] from 1a . Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W=P(Ph)N(SiMe₃)₂] ( 4 ) with HP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1d ) gave rise to the formation of yellow crystalline ( 10 ). The products were characterized by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H, ¹³C‐, ³¹P‐NMR, MS). The molecular structure of compound 10 was elucidated by an X‐ray diffraction analysis.
