Functionalization of the macropolyhedral borate anion cluster [B22H22]: isolation and characterization of the OH and OEt derivatives

Preparation and characterization of the first derivatives of the fused macropolyhedral anion [B₂₂H₂₂]²⁻ are reported. The species [B₂₂H₂₁OH]²⁻ (1) and [B₂₂H₂₁OEt]²⁻ (2) are obtained from workup of the products of the reaction between HgBr₂ and [NBzlEt₃]₂[B₂₂H₂₂]; a cluster involving the conjoining of a closo-B₁₂ icosahedron with a nido-B₁₀ cluster. Washing the products with ethanol followed by thin-layer chromatography allows the isolation of 1 and 2, reproducibly, in yields of 27 and 20%, respectively. The species were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction studies. The crystal structure determinations of the two species identify novel features. Apparently the influence of the O atoms in the ions [B₂₂H₂₁OH]²⁻ and [B₂₂H₂₁OEt]²⁻ results in the lengthening of what was a gunwale B---B connection adjacent to the junction of the two cages such that the distances are 2.180 and 2.230 Å, respectively. These latter are longer than the corresponding distance in the parent species [B₂₂H₂₂]²⁻, which is 2.09 Å; quite long for a normal B---B distance. Thus it is assumed that these B atoms, in 1 and 2, one of which bears the substituent, are not bonded to each other.

The structures of 16 target compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR spectra, ¹³C NMR spectra and high-resolution mass spectrometer(HRMS). Preliminary bioassays indicated that most of the title compounds displayed excellent insecticidal activity against Aphis fabae and Nilaparvata lugens at 100 mg/L. In particular, compound 6k showed the similar activity(LC₅₀=6.87 mg/L) against A. fabae as the spirotetramat(LC₅₀=4.56 mg/L) and had better effects(LC₅₀=1.64 mg/L) against N. lugens in comparison with spirotetramat(LC₅₀=7.90 mg/L). The study showed that compound 6k exhibited more promising and broad-spectrum insecticide activity and may serve as a new insecticidal agent for sucking pests.     

Electrochemical studies on Mo2Cl4(PR3)4 compounds containing phosphines of varied basicity

The electrochemical behaviour of a series of Mo₂Cl₄(PR₃)₄ complexes (PR₃ = PMe₃, PEt₃, PPrⁿ₃,PBuⁿ₃, PH₂Ph, PMe₂Ph, PEt₂Ph, PHPh₂, PMePh₂, PEtPh₂, P(OMe)₃, P(OMe)Ph₂) has been examined by cyclic voltammetry in dichloromethane solution. The phosphines were chosen to provide a wide range of Lewis basicity/π acidity as reflected by Tolman's _co IR and Bodner's Δδ_co ¹³C NMR spectral parameters for Ni(CO)₃(PR₃). The Mo₂ compounds undergo either quasi-reversible or irreversible one-electron oxidations except for P(OMe)₃ and P(OMe)Ph₂ for which no clectroactivity was observed before the solvent limit. The anodic peak potentials, E_p,a, span a range of nearly 700 mV. The half-wave potentials, E_1/2,for the quasi-reversible couples and E_p,a for all were plotted against the IR and NMR values and against the δ → δ* transition energies for the Mo₂ species in dichloromethane and in the solid state. For the organometallic spectral parameters excellent linear correlations were obtained while with the electronic spectral data fair correlations resulted. These results indicate that the Mo₂Cl₄(PR₃)₄ complexes become more difficult to oxidize as the electron-withdrawing nature of the PR₃ substituents increases and the δ → δ* band energy decreases.
