CO2‐promoted Water‐medium Ullmann Reaction over a Pd/Phenyl‐SBA‐15 Mesoporous Catalyst

Water‐medium Ullmann reaction was carried out in CO₂ atmosphere over the mesoporous Pd/Ph‐SBA‐15 catalyst exhibiting high activity and selectivity owing to the uniform dispersion of Pd particles and hydrophobilic mesoporous channels which facilitate the diffusion and adsorption of organic molecules, especially in an aqueous medium. The CO₂ also shows promoting effect on activity and selectivity, which could be understood by considering the role of H⁺ in the mechanism of Ullmann reaction. The optimum Ph‐Ph yield (84.0%) was obtained at p=0.8 MPa and V=6.0 mL and could remain almost unchanged even after the catalyst has been used repetitively for 5 times.

Neutral and Cationic Hexanuclear Rhenium Phosphine Clusters with μ3‐(Phosphido‐Chalcogenido), μ3‐(Arsenido‐Chalcogenido), and μ3‐(Imido or Oxo‐Chalcogenido) Hetero Ligand Shells

Reactions of dry THF/MeCN solutions of Ca[Re₆SCl(Cl^a)₆] with silylated derivatives E(SiMe₃)₂ (E = PhAs, PSiMe₃, HN, O, S) and addition of trialkylphosphine PPr₃ afford in high yields and at room temperature either the neutral clusters [Re₆SX(PPr₃)] ( 1 : X = As, 2 : X = P) or the ionic compounds [Re₆SX(PPr₃)]²⁺ · [Re₆S₆Cl₈]^2– ( 3 : X = NH, 4 : X = O, 5 : X = S). The compounds 1 – 5 were characterised by X‐ray crystal structure analysis. A di‐substitution reaction occurs on the {Re₆SCl}⁴⁺ cluster core, where the two inner μ₃‐chloro ligands Clⁱ are substituted by X (X = As, P, NH, O, S) and all six terminal chloro ligands Cl^a are exchanged by terminal PPr₃‐ligands.     

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und Berechnung der statistischen Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6BrCl)F]2−, n = 0 – 8

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆Br Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0 – 8 The complete system of the innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆BrCl)⁴⁺ is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound Br^a on tempering the solid [(Mo₆Cl)Br] at 500°C for 16 h. After conversion with conc. HCl into (H₃O)₂[(Mo₆BrCl)Cl] and precipitation of the outer Cl^a with AgBF₄ in ethanol, treatment with tetrabutylammonium(TBA)fluoride yields (TBA)₂ [(Mo₆BrCl)F], a mixture of 22 different species. According to the sets of chemical equivalent fluorine atoms in total 55 ¹⁹F nmr signals are expected, which are really observed in the high resolution 1D-¹⁹F-nmr spectrum. Using increments of chemical shifts, peak intensities and multiplet structures as well as the 2D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum the complete and unambiguous assignment of all resonances is achieved. From the measured integral intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined, revealing statistical formation of the geometrical isomers.     

19F-NMR-spektroskopischer Nachweis und statistische Untersuchung zur Bildung der gemischten Clusteranionen [(Mo6ICl)F]2−, n = 0–7, und Darstellung von (TBA)2[(Mo6I)F]

¹⁹F NMR Spectroscopic Evidence and Calculation of the Statistical Formation of Mixed Cluster Anions [(Mo₆I Cl )F ]^2?, n = 0–7, and Preparation of (TBA)₂[(Mo₆I )F ] The octa-μ₃-iodo-hexafluoro-hexamolybdate(2?)ion [(Mo₆I)F]^2? is prepared for the first time. The system of the 21 innersphere mixed clusters (Mo₆ICl)⁴⁺, n = 0–7 is formed by exchange of innersphere bound Clⁱ against outersphere bound I^a on tempering solid [(Mo₆Cl)I] at 400°C. Prolonged tempering leads to increasing average n values of the mixture, which is converted into the tetrabutylammonium salt (TBA)₂[(Mo₆ICl)F]. Using increments of chemical shifts and integral peak intensities the 54 ¹⁹F-nmr signals of the 21 species (compound n = 8 is absent) are assigned and confirmed by the 2 D-¹⁹F/¹⁹F-COSY spectrum. From the measured intensities the distribution of the different compounds is determined and proves significant deviation from statistical occupation, revealing the preference of isomers with iodine atoms occupying edges of the innersphere cube and discrimination of those sharing diagonals of the faces. Moreover all compounds with n = 3 and 4 are present overaverage in comparison to the others.

Subgroup 4 (Ti,Zr, Hf) derivatives of Cobalt Carbonyls

Bimetallic and trimetallic compounds containing unsupported bonds of subgroup 4 metals (M = Ti, Zr, Hf) and Co were prepared by hydride elimination (A) from RM derivatives (R¹ = PhCH₂; RN; R² = Me, Et)) and by salt elimination (B) from RMX (X = Cl, Br; R.¹ = PhCH₂, RN and R³O; R³= i-Pr, n-Bu)) by reaction with HCo(CO)₄ and Na[Co(CO)₄], respectively. Compounds RMCo(CO)₄ with R¹ = PhCH₂, RM[Co(CO)₄]₂ R.¹ = PhCH₂, were prepared both by methods A and B, while (R³O)₄-n Ti[Co(Co)₄]n (n = 1, 2) compounds were obtained by reaction B. Several tertiary phosphine and phosphite derivatives of the former two types were obtained by substitution of a carbonyl group by PR ligand or by A type reaction of HCo(CO)³(PR with RM compounds.     

Electronegativity equalization and the electronic structure of polyhedral clusters of main-group atoms

The concept of the equalization of atomic electronegativities accompanving molecule formation is applied to a study of the electronic structure of polyhedral clusters of main-group atoms such as Ge, Sn, Pb, Tl, and Bi. Emphasis is placed upon charged clusters such as Sn_9?x Pb(x = 0 → 9), Sn_9-xGe, Sn_8?xPb_x Tl^5?, Sn₂Bi, SnTe, etc. The role of the relativistic spin-orbit splitting of an np shell into np_1/2 and np_3/2 subshells in modifying atomic and hence molecular electronegativities is discussed. Correlations are made between calculated charge distributions and observed¹⁹⁹ Sn NMR chemical shifts for clusters of a given size and charge. It is concluded that a useful picture of charge distributions in these clusters may be obtained from electronegativity equalization considerations.     

Selektive Darstellung zweifach diorganophosphido-verbrückter Metallatetrahedrane [Re2(MPR3)2(μ-PR2)2(CO)6] mit Re2M2-Metallgerüst (M = Au,Ag)

Selective Preparation of Twofold Diorganophosphido-bridged Metallatetrahedranes [Re₂(MPR₃)₂(μ-PR₂)₂(CO)₆] with Re₂M₂ Metal Core (M = Au, Ag) The reaction of the in situ prepared salt Li[Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(CO)₇Cl] (R = R′ = Cy ( 1 a ), R = Cy, R′ = Ph ( 1 b ), R = Ph, R′ = Cy ( 1 c ), R = Ph, R′ = Et ( 1 d ), R = Ph, R′ = Ph ( 1 e )) with one equivalent HPR in methanolic solution at room temperature yields the neutral cluster complexes [Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(CO)₇(ax-HPR) (R = R′ = R″ = Cy ( 2 a ), Ph ( 2 b ), R = R′ = Cy, R″ = Et ( 2 c ), R = Cy, R′ = R″ = Ph ( 2 d ), R = Cy, R′ = Ph, R″ = Et ( 2 e ), R = R″ = Ph, R′ = Et ( 2 f ), R = Ph, R′ = Cy, R″ = Et (2 g)). Photochemically induced these complexes react in the presence of the organic base DBU in THF solution to give the doubly phosphido bridged anions Li[Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(μ-PR)(CO)₆], which were characterized as salts PPh₄[Re₂(AuPR)(μ-PR₂)(μ-PR)(CO)₆] (R = R′ = R″ = Ph ( 3 a ), R = R′ = Ph, R″ = Cy ( 3 b ), R = Ph, R′ = Cy, R″ = Et ( 3 c ), R = R″ = Ph, R′ = Et ( 3 d )). These precursor complexes 3 then react with one equivalent of ClMPR (M = Au, Ag) to doubly phosphido bridged metallatetrahedranes [Re₂(MPR₃)₂(μ-PR₂)(μ-PR)(CO)₆] (M = Au, R = R′ = R″ = Ph ( 4 a ), M = Au, R′ = Et, R = R″ = Ph ( 4 b ), M = Au, R = R′ = Ph, R″ = Cy ( 4 c ), M = Au, R = Cy, R′ = Ph, R″ = Et ( 4 d ), M = Ag, R = R′ = R″ = Ph ( 4 e )). All isolated cluster complexes were characterized and identified by the following analytical methods: NMR- (¹H, ³¹P) and ν(CO) IR-spectroscopy and, additionally, complexes 2 b , 4 a and 4 e by X-ray structure analysis.

The low temperatur IR (60 K) and Raman (20 K) spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination. The valence force constants are f_d(WW) = 1.89, f_d(WF) = 2.43 and f_d(WCl) = 0.93 mdyn/Å.     

Magnesium chloride supported high mileage catalysts for olefin polymerization. XII. Polymerization of ethylene

Polymerizations of ethylene by the MgCl₂/ethylbenzoate/p-cresol/AlEt₃ TiCl₄-AlEt₃/methyl-p-toluate (CW-catalyst) have been studied. The initially formed active site concentration, [Ti] has a maximum value of 50% of total titanium at 50°C and lower values at other temperatures. The Ti decays rapidly to Ti sites with conc. ca. 10 mol %/mol Ti. The rate constants for four chain transfer processes have been obtained at 50°C: for transfer with AlEt₃, k = 2.1 × 10^?4 s^?1 and k = 4.8 × 10^?4 s^?1; for transfer with monomer, k = 3.6 × 10^?3 (M s)^?1 and K = 8.3 × 10^?3 (M s)^?1; for β-hydride transfer, k = 7.2 × 10^?4 s^?1 and k = 4.9 × 10^?4 s^?1; and transfer with hydrogen, k = 4.0 × 10^?3 torr^1/2 s^? and k = 5.1 × 10^?3 torr^1/2 s^?1. The rate constants for the termination assisted by hydrogen is k = 1.7 (M^1/2 torr^1/2 S)^?1. If monomer is assisting termination as was observed for propylene polymerization, then k = 7.8 (M^3/2 s)^?1. Values of all the rate constants can be higher or lower at other temperatures. Detailed comparisons were made with the results of propylene polymerizations. There are more than four times as many Ti active sites for ethylene polymerization than there are for stereospecific polymerization of propylene; the difference is more than a factor of two for the Ti sites. Certain rate constants are nearly the same for both monomers while others are markedly different. Some of the differences can be explained by stereoelectronic effects.     

The acetyl radicals CH3CO· and CD3CO· studied by flash photolysis and kinetic spectroscopy

Ultraviolet absorption spectra have been characterized for the acetyl-h₃ and acetyl-d₃ radicals, which were generated by the flash photolysis of the corresponding acetones. The spectra are broad and intense, with values of the extinction coefficient at the respective maxima estimated as: ?CH₃CO(215) = (1.0 ± 0.1) × 10⁴ L/mol·cm and ?CD₃CO(207.5) = (1.0 ± 0.05) × 10⁴ L/mol·cm. Rate constants for the reactions of mutual interaction were estimated as: k = 3.5 × 10¹⁰ L/mol·s and k = 3.4 × 10¹⁰ L/mol·s. Rate constants for the reactions of cross interaction were estimated as: k = 8.6 × 10¹⁰ L/mol·s and k = 5.2 × 10¹⁰ L/mol·s. The related values of the cross interaction ratios k/(kk)^1/2 = 2.6 and k/(kk)^1/2 = 1.6 do not differ significantly from the statistical value of 2. The participation of the radical displacement reactions was estimated in terms of the fractions k/k = 0.38 and k/k = 0.47. Corroborative spectra were obtained from the flash photolysis of methyl ethyl ketone and biacetyl, and the relative rates of the competing primary processes were estimated from the relative peak heights of the acetyl and methyl radicals in each system.     

Structures and Electrical Properties of Some New Organic Conductors Derived from the Donor Molecule TMET (S,S,S,S,-Bis(dimethylethylenedithio) tetrathiafulvalene)

Crystal structures and electrical properties of radical-cation salts of the chiral organic donor TMET (S,S,S,S,-bis-(dimethylethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) are described. Two structural types, 2:1 with octahedral anions Pf, AsF, SbF, I (incommensurate), and 3:2 with tetrahedral anions BF^?₄, CIO^?₄, ReO^?₄ are observed. Resistivity measurements between 2 and 298 K indicate that the 3:2 types are organic metals, while the other compounds are semiconductors. (TMET)₃(CIO₄)₂ is metallic down to about 120 K at ambient pressure and remains metallic down to 2 K at 8 kbar.     

The Influence of the Ligands Cp*(η5‐C5Me5) and Cp(η5‐C5H5) on the Stability and Reactivity of Titanocene and Zirconocene Complexes: Reactions of the Bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene Permethylmetallocene Complexes (η5‐C5Me5)2M(η2‐Me3SiC2SiMe3), M = Ti,Zr, with H2O and CO2

The reactions of the bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene permethylmetallocene complexes CpM(η²‐Me₃SiC₂SiMe₃) (M = Ti ( 1 ), M = Zr ( 2 )) with H₂O and CO₂ were studied and compared to those of the corresponding metallocene complexes Cp₂M(L)(η²‐Me₃SiC₂SiMe₃) (M = Ti ( 3 ), L = – ; M = Zr, L = THF ( 4 )) to understand the influence of the ligands Cp(η⁵‐C₅H₅) and Cp*(η⁵‐C₅Me₅) as well as the metals titanium and zirconium on the reaction pathways and the obtained products. In the reaction of the permethyltitanocene complex 1 with water the dihydroxy complex CpTi(OH)₂ ( 5 ) was formed. This product differs from the well‐known titanoxane Cp₂TiOTiCp₂ which was obtained by the reaction of the corresponding titanocene complex 3 with water. The reaction of the permethylzirconocene complex 2 with water gives the mononuclear alkenyl zirconocene hydroxide 6 . An analogous product was assumed as the first step in the reaction of the corresponding zirconocene complex 4 with water which ends up in a dinuclear zirconoxane. In the conversion of the permethylzirconocene complex 2 with carbon dioxide the mononuclear insertion product 7 was formed by coupling of carbon dioxide and the acetylene. In contrast, the corresponding zirconocene complex 4 affords, by an analogous reaction, a dinuclear complex. In additional experiments the known complex CpZr(η²‐PhC₂SiMe₃) ( 8 ) was prepared, starting from CpZrCl₂ and Mg in the presence of PhC≡CSiMe₃. This complex reacts with carbon dioxide resulting in a mixture of the regioisomeric zirconafuranones 9 a and 9 b . From these in the complex 9 a , having the SiMe₃ group in β‐position to the metal, the Zr–C bond was quickly hydrolyzed by water to give the complex CpZr(OH)OC(=O)–C(SiMe₃)=CHPh ( 10 a ) compared to complex ( 9 b ) which gives slowly the complex CpZr(OH)OC(=O)–CPh=CH(SiMe₃) ( 10 b ).     

Endohedral fullerene-noble gas clusters formed with high-energy bimolecular reactions of C (x = 60, 70; n = 1, 2, 3)

Results are reported for high-energy beam experiments which establish the formation of endohedral carbon cluster-noble gas compounds by bimolecular reactions of C (x = 60, 70; n = 1, 2, 3) with He and C with Ne. The ions were accelerated up to 8 ke V in a four-sector mass spectrometer and allowed to collide with the noble gas in a collision chamber at room temperatur. Product ions were monitored with a B/E = constant linked scan. Within the sensivity of the experiments, no carbon cluster-gas compounds were observed in the reactions of C with H₂, D₂, O₂, Ar, and SF₆, or of C with O₂. The observed fall in the cross-section for carbon cluster-noble gas compounds with increasing size of the noble gas, the observation of unimolecular loss of C₂ from mass-selected C_xHe⁺ ions, and the elimination of carbon fragments instead of He observed in the formation of the collision-induced C_xHeⁿ⁺ product ions are taken as evidence for endohedral compound formation. Results of ab initio molecular-orbital calculations for the perpendicular penetration of the plane of ionized benzene with He, Ne, and Ar indicate that sufficient kinetic energy should be available in the collisions with C to penetrate the C cage at the collision energies of the experiments.

The higher ordered cells with U^VI and W^VI are face centered, which has its origin in an ordering of cationic vacancies.
