Replacement and Oxidation Reactions of N-Dichlorophosphanyl Triphenylphosphazene, Ph₃P?N? PCl₂ The title compound ( 1 ) reacts with MeOH, EtOH, PhOH, EtSH, and water forming N-phosphanyl or N-phosphinoyl phosphazenes, resp., Ph₃P?N? PX₂ (X ? OPh( 8 ), SEt( 9 )) or Ph₃P?N? PH(O)X (X ? Cl( 3 ), OH( 4 ), OMe( 5 ), OEt( 7 )). The reaction of 1 with P(NEt₂)₃ yields Ph₃P?N? P(NEt₂)₂ ( 10 ). Ph₃P?N? PF₂( 11 ) and Ph₃P?N? PH(O)F ( 12 ) are obtained by chlorine-fluorine exchange. The N-phosphanyl compounds 1 , 8 , 9 and 11 are oxidized by NO₂ yielding the corresponding N-phosphoryl derivatives, Ph₃P?N? P(O)X₂ (X ? Cl( 2 ), OPh( 13 ), SEt ( 14 ), F( 15 )). The thiophosphoryl compounds, (Ph₃P?N? P(S)X₂ (X ? Cl( 16 ), OPh( 17 ), F( 18 )) are obtained by oxidizing 1 , 8 , and 11 with sulfur.     

Oxorhenium(V) Complexes with 1,3,4‐Triphenyl‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐ylidene

Reactions of the oxorhenium(V) complexes [ReOX₃(PPh₃)₂] (X = Cl, Br) with the N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) 1,3,4‐triphenyl‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐ylidene (L^Ph) under mild conditions and in the presence of MeOH or water give [ReOX₂(Y)(PPh₃)(L^Ph)] complexes (X = Cl, Br; Y = OMe, OH). Attempted reactions of the carbene precursor 5‐methoxy‐1,3,4‐triphenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 1 ) with [ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] or [NBu₄][ReOCl₄] in boiling xylene resulted in protonation of the intermediately formed carbene and decomposition products such as [HL^Ph][ReOCl₄(OPPh₃)], [HL^Ph][ReOCl₄(OH₂)] or [HL^Ph][ReO₄] were isolated. The neutral [ReOX₂(Y)(PPh₃)(HL^Ph)] complexes are purple, airstable solids. The bulky NHC ligands coordinate monodentate and in cis‐position to PPh₃. The relatively long Re–C bond lengths of approximate 2.1Å indicate metal‐carbon single bonds.     

Der Einfluß von Phosphoryl‐Substituenten auf die Eigenschaften P‐substituierter 2‐Methylimidazolium‐Ionen und 2‐Methylenimidazoline [1]

The Influence of Phosphoryl Substituents on the Properties of P‐Substituted 2‐Methylimidazolium Ions and 2‐Methyleneimidazolines [1] The imidazolines ImCHP(E)Ph₂ [ 6 , E = S ( a ), Se ( b )] are obtained from ImCHPPh₂ ( 4 ) and sulfur or selenium. HBF₄ reaction yields the corresponding imidazolium salts [ImCH₂P(E)Ph₂][BF₄] [ 5 , E = S ( a ), Se ( b )]. 1, 3, 4, 5‐Tetramethyl‐2‐methylenimidazoline ( 1 , ImCH₂) reacts with Ph₂P(O)Cl to give the corresponding phosphane salt [ImCH₂P(O)Ph₂]Cl ( 7 ) from which the vinyl compound ImCHP(O)Ph₂ ( 8 ) is formed through deprotonation. 8 reacts with excess HBF₄ to give the phosphine oxide BF₃ adduct [ImCH₂P(O)Ph₂ · BF₃][BF₄] ( 9 ). The crystal structures of 5a , 5b , 6b , 7 · CH₂Cl₂ and 9 · H₂O as well as preliminary data of 8 are reported and discussed on comparison with the phosphanes [ImCH₂PPh₂][BF₄] ( 3b ) and ImCHPPh₂ ( 4 ). From structural data, π‐electron delocalisation is concluded for 6b and 8 .     

1H,89Y HMQC and Further NMR Spectroscopic and X‐ray Diffraction Investigations on Yttrium‐Containing Complexes Exhibiting Various Nuclearities

2D ¹H,⁸⁹Y heteronuclear shift correlation through scalar coupling has been applied to the chemical‐shift determination of a set of yttrium complexes with various nuclearities. This method allowed the determination of ⁸⁹Y NMR data in a short period of time. Multinuclear NMR spectroscopy as function of temperature, PGSE NMR‐diffusion experiments, heteronuclear NOE measurements, and X‐ray crystallography were applied to determine the structures of [Y₅(OH)₅(L ‐Val)₄(Ph₂acac)₆] ( 1 ) (Ph₂acac=dibenzoylmethanide, L ‐Val=L ‐valine), [Y( 2 )(OTf)₃] ( 3 ), and [Y₂( 4 )(OTf)₅] ( 5 ) ( 2 : [(S)P{N(Me)N?C(H)Py}₃], 4 : [B{N(Me)N?C(H)Py}₄]^?) in solution and in the solid state. The structures found in the solid state are retained in solution, where averaged structures were observed. NMR diffusion measurements helped us to understand the nuclearity of compounds 3 and 5 in solution. ¹H,¹⁹F HOESY and ¹⁹F,¹⁹F EXSY data revealed that the anions are specifically located in particular regions of space, which nicely correlated with the geometries found in the X‐ray structures.     

Spectral and crystallography studies of new palladacycle complexes with P,C‐ and C,C‐donor ligands; Application of (OAL16) to optimizing the yield of Mizoroki‐Heck reaction

The new symmetrical diphosphonium salt [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CH₂C(O)C₆H₄Br)₂] Br₂ ( S ) was synthesized in the reaction of 1,2‐bis (diphenylphosphino) ethane (dppe) and related ketone. Further treatment with NEt₃ gave the symmetrical α‐keto stabilized diphosphine ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CHC(O)C₆H₄Br)₂] ( Y ¹ ). The unsymmetrical α‐keto stabilized diphosphine ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(CHC(O)C₆H₄Br)] ( Y ² ) was synthesized in the reaction of diphosphine in 1:1 ratio with 2.3′‐dibromoacetophenone, then treatment with NEt_3. The reaction of dibromo (1,5‐cyclooctadiene)palladium (II), [PdBr₂(COD)] with this ligand ( Y ¹ ) in equimolar ratio gave the new C,C‐chelated [PdBr₂(Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂(C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Br)₂)] ( 1 ) and with unsymmetrical phosphorus ylide [Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)C₆H₄Br] ( Y ² ) gave the new P, C‐chelated palladacycle complex [PdBr₂(Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂C(H)C(O)Br)] ( 2 ). These compounds were characterized successfully by FT‐IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P) spectroscopic methods and the crystal structure of Y ¹ and 2 were elucidated by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The results indicated that the complex 1 was C, C‐chelated whereas complex 2 was P, C‐chelated. These air/moisture stable complexes were employed as efficient catalysts for the Mizoroki‐Heck cross‐coupling reaction of several aryl chlorides, and the Taguchi method was used to optimize the yield of Mizoroki‐Heck coupling. The optimum condition was found to be as followed: base; K₂CO₃, solvent; DMF and loading of catalyst; 0.005 mmol.     

α‐Halogenoacetanilides as Hydrogen‐Bonding Organocatalysts that Activate Carbonyl Bonds: Fluorine versus Chlorine and Bromine

α‐Halogenoacetanilides (X=F, Cl, Br) were examined as H‐bonding organocatalysts designed for the double activation of C?O bonds through NH and CH donor groups. Depending on the halide substituents, the double H‐bond involved a nonconventional C?H???O interaction with either a H?CX_n (n=1–2, X=Cl, Br) or a H?C_Ar bond (X=F), as shown in the solid‐state crystal structures and by molecular modeling. In addition, the catalytic properties of α‐halogenoacetanilides were evaluated in the ring‐opening polymerization of lactide, in the presence of a tertiary amine as cocatalyst. The α‐dichloro‐ and α‐dibromoacetanilides containing electron‐deficient aromatic groups afforded the most attractive double H‐bonding properties towards C?O bonds, with a N?H???O???H?CX₂ interaction.     

Phénylhalogénohydrodigermanes

The symmetric and unsymmetric phenylchlorohydrodigermanes can be isolated or characterized via partial halogenation of the Ge? H bonds of the symmetrical phenylhydrodigermanes Ph₂(H)GeGe(H)₂Ph, Ph(H)₂GeGe(H)₂Ph by chloromethyl methyl ether and carbontetrachloride. Some of these phenylchlorohydrodigermanes are formed by insertion of phenylchlorogermylene (PhGeCl) on the Ge? H or Ge? Cl bonds of the phenylchlorohydrogermanes. The hydrolysis of the monochloro phenylhydrodigermanes Ph₂(Cl)GeGe(H)₂ and Ph(Cl)(H)GeGe(H)₂Ph leads to the phenyl phenylhydrogermyl digermoxanes [Ph₂(H)GeGePh₂]₂O and [Ph(H)₂GeGe(H)Ph]₂O. Treatment of these oxides with the concentrated aqueous solutions of hydracides leads to the monofluorinated, brominated and iodinated phenylhydrodigermanes Ph₂(H)GeGe(X)Ph₂ and Ph(H)₂GeGe(H)(X)Ph (X) = F, Br, I). Phenylchlorohydrodigermanes decompose thermally by α-elimination on one germanium atom with formation of germylene and phenylchlorohydrogermane. The physico-chemical IR. and NMR. study of these phenylhalogenohydrodigermanes indicates that, if the vGe? H frequency variations are mostly linked to the inductive effects of the substituents on the same germanium, the variations of the chemical shifts of the Ge? H protons seem to be due to many factors and especially to the inductive effect of the substituents on the germanium and the magnetic anisotropy of the Ge? X bonds.     

N‐Chlortriphenylphosphanimin und seine Anwendung als Edukt zur Synthese asymmetrischer PNP‐Kationen. Kristallstrukturen von Ph3PNCl und [Ph3PNPEt3]Cl

N‐chlorotriphenylphosphaneimine and its Application as an Educt for the Synthesis of Asymmetric PNP Cations. Crystal Structures of Ph₃PNCl and [Ph₃PNPEt₃]Cl Ph₃PNCl ( 1 ) originates in good yield as pale yellow crystals from the reaction of Ph₃PNSiMe₃ with phenyliodine dichloride. According to the crystal structure analysis 1 has a monomeric molecular structure without perceptible intermolecular contacts with distances P–N of 161.0 pm, N–Cl of 175.9 pm, and with a PNCl bond angle of 110.31°. 1 reacts with phosphines PR₃ forming asymmetric PNP salts [Ph₃PNPR₃]Cl. This was tested by reactions with PEt₃ and bis‐diphenyl phosphano ferrocene (DPPF). The crystal structure analysis of [Ph₃PNPEt₃]Cl ( 2 ) shows an almost symmetric PNP bridge with distances PN of 158.6 and 157.0 pm, and with a bond angle of 145.9°.     

Triphenylphosphinimino‐triphenylstiboniumchlorid, [Ph3PNSbPh3Cl], und seine Reaktion mit FeCl3

[Ph₃PNSbPh₃Cl] ( 1 ) was prepared by oxidative addition of ClNPPh₃ to triphenylstibine in dichloromethane solution. The compound is characterized by IR spectroscopy and by an X‐ray structure determination. 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with four formula units per unit cell. Lattice dimensions at 193 K: a = 925.3(1), b = 1777.2(1), c = 1825.5(1) pm, β = 94.07(1)°, R₁ = 0.0228. 1 forms monomeric molecules with tetrahedrally coordinated phosphorus and trigonal‐bipyramidally coordinated antimony atom, the atoms N and Cl being in axial positions. The bond lengths PN and SbN are 155.0(2) and 198.4(2) pm, respectively, the PNSb angle is 138.6(1)°. 1 reacts with iron trichloride to give the known phosphoraneiminato complex [FeCl₂(NPPh₃)]₂.     

Polysulfonylamine. CLXXXIV. Kristallstrukturen molekularer Triphenylphosphangold(I)‐di(4‐X‐benzolsulfonyl)‐amide: Isomorphie und dichte Packung (X = Me,F, Cl,NO2) vs. struktursteuernde Halogenbrücken C–X···Au/O (X = Br,I)

Polysulfonylamines. CLXXXIV. Crystal Structures of Molecular Triphenylphosphanegold(I) Di(4‐X‐benzenesulfonyl)amides: Isomorphism and Close Packing (X = Me, F, Cl, NO₂) vs. Structure‐Determining C–X···Au/O Halogen Bonds (X = Br, I) In order to study the structure‐determining influence that halogen bonding can exert during the course of crystallization, solid‐state structures are compared for two previously reported and four new molecular gold(I) complexes of the type Ph₃P–Au–N(SO₂–C₆H₄–4‐X)₂, each featuring linear P,N coordination at gold and two phenyl rings with varying p‐substituents X = Me, F, Cl, NO₂, Br or I. The compounds were synthesized by reactions of Ph₃PAuX (X = Cl or I) with the corresponding silver di(arenesulfonyl)amides, crystallized from dichloromethane, and characterized by low‐temperature X‐ray diffraction. The Me, F, Cl and NO₂ congeners are isomorphic and crystallize without solvent inclusion in the chiral orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ (Z′ = 1). These structures are governed by isotropic close packing via three‐dimensional 2₁ symmetry, incidentally supported by an invariant set of C–H···O=S hydrogen bonds, CH/π interactions and π/π stackings of aromatic rings; in particular, the hard halogen atoms of the fluoro and the chloro homologues are not involved in X···Au, X···O or X···X interactions. The higher homologues, with soft halogen atoms, were obtained as a dichloromethane hemisolvate for X = Br and a corresponding monosolvate for X = I, each triclinic in the centrosymmetric space group (Z′ = 1). Here, the primary structural effect is implemented by infinite chains in which translation‐related molecules are connected for the bromo compound by a bifurcated Au···Br(2)···O=S interaction, for the iodo congener by an equivalent Au···I(2)···O=S interaction and a short halogen bond C–I(1)···O=S. The latter bond is stronger than a similar C–Br···O=S interaction and induces a conformational adjustment of the (CSO₂)₂N group from the normal twofold symmetry in the bromo compound to an energetically unfavourable asymmetric form in the iodo homologue. In both cases, pairs of antiparallel molecular catemers are associated into strands via sixfold phenyl embraces, the strands are stacked to form layers, the solvent molecules are intercalated between adjacent layers, and the crystal packings are reinforced by a number of C–H···O=S hydrogen bonds and interactions of aromatic rings.     

Effect of the X and Y substituents on the carbonyl bond in 4-YC<Subscript>6</Subscript>H<Subscript>4</Subscript>C(O)X compounds

Mechanistic aspects of the effect of the X and Y substituents (X = Me, H, CF₃, CN, Br, Cl, F, OH, NH₂; Y = H, NMe₂, NH₂, CN, NO₂) on the carbonyl bond in 4-YC₆H₄C(O)X compounds are discussed on the basis of the ¹³C and ¹⁷O NMR data.     

Unusual Stability despite a P‐bonded Proton: Phospha and Diphospha Ureas with the TrtP(H)‐Moiety

As the first diphospha‐urea with P‐bonded protons, [TrtP(H)]₂C=O ( 3 ) was found to be of amazing stability, which is thought to be due to the presence of the triphenylmethyl groups. Unlike known cyclic or non‐cyclic analogues, 3 showed next to no tendency to eliminate carbon monoxide. 3 was obtained by reaction of the dimeric phospha‐isocyanate (TrtPCO)₂ ( 1 ) with LiAlH₄, in which the intermediary phosphaalkene 2 was observed. Caused by its two asymmetric phosphorus atoms, 3 appeared as a mixture of two isomers, meso‐3 and rac‐3 (ratio: 20 : 1). Theoretical considerations, and the analysis of the proton‐coupled ³¹P NMR spectrum (spin system: AA′XX′), allowed the assignment of the signals to the two isomers. The action of anhydrous hydrogen chloride on 3 led to the cleavage of one P–C(:O)‐bond, and formation of an equimolar mixture of TrtPH₂ ( 5 ) and TrtP(H)C(:O)Cl ( 6 ). Cleavage of a P–C(:O)‐bond in 3 was also observed in its reaction with tetramethylguanidine (TMG) or ammonia. As proved by ³¹P NMR spectroscopy in the case of TMG, the reaction proceeded via the phosphaalkene intermediate 8 . Acting as nucleophiles, TMG and ammonia substituted TrtP(H) in 3 , and the P,N‐ureas 9 and 10 , with TrtPH₂ ( 5 ) as a side product, were obtained.     

Zur Reaktion der Alkin‐Kupfer(I)‐Komplexe [CuX(S‐Alkin)] (X = Cl,Br, I; S‐Alkin = 3,3,6,6‐Tetramethyl‐1‐thia‐4‐cycloheptin) mit den Phosphanen PMe3 und Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2 (dppe)

Organometallic Compounds of Copper. XVIII. On the Reaction of the Alkyne Copper(I) Complexes [CuX(S‐Alkyne)] (X = Cl, Br, I; S‐Alkyne = 3,3,6,6‐Tetramethyl‐1‐thiacyclohept‐4‐yne) with the Phosphanes PMe₃ and Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂ (dppe) The alkyne copper(I) halide complexes [CuX(S‐Alkyne)]_n ( 2 ) ( 2 a : X = Cl, 2 b : X = Br, 2 c : X = I; S‐Alkyne = 3,3,6,6‐tetramethyl‐1‐thiacyclohept‐4‐yne; n = 2, ∞) add the phosphanes PMe₃ and Ph₂PCH₂CH₂PPh₂ (dppe) to form the mono‐ and dinuclear copper compounds [(S‐Alkyne)CuX(PMe₃)] ( 6 ) ( 6 a : X = Cl, 6 b : X = Br) and [(S‐Alkyne)CuX(μ‐dppe)CuX(S‐Alkyne)] ( 7 a : X = Cl, 7 b : X = Br, 7 c : X = I), respectively. By‐product in the reaction of 2 a with dppe is the tetranuclear complex [(S‐Alkyne)Cu(μ‐X)₂Cu(μ‐dppe)₂Cu(μ‐X)₂Cu(S‐Alkyne)] ( 8 ). In case of the compounds 7 prolonged reaction times yield the alkyne‐free dinuclear copper complexes [Cu₂X₂(dppe)₃] ( 9 ) ( 9 a : X = Cl, 9 b : X = Br, 9 c : X = I)). X‐ray diffraction studies were carried out with the new compounds 6 a , 6 b , 7 b , 8 , and 9 c .     

An X‐ray crystallographic and density functional theory study of (3Z)‐4‐(5‐ethylsulfonyl‐2‐hydroxyanilino)pent‐3‐en‐2‐one and (3Z)‐4‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐2‐hydroxyanilino)pent‐3‐en‐2‐one

The Schiff base enaminones (3Z)‐4‐(5‐ethylsulfonyl‐2‐hydroxyanilino)pent‐3‐en‐2‐one, C₁₃H₁₇NO₄S, (I), and (3Z)‐4‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐2‐hydroxyanilino)pent‐3‐en‐2‐one, C₁₅H₂₁NO₂, (II), were studied by X‐ray crystallography and density functional theory (DFT). Although the keto tautomer of these compounds is dominant, the O=C—C=C—N bond lengths are consistent with some electron delocalization and partial enol character. Both (I) and (II) are nonplanar, with the amino–phenol group canted relative to the rest of the molecule; the twist about the N(enamine)—C(aryl) bond leads to dihedral angles of 40.5 (2) and −116.7 (1)° for (I) and (II), respectively. Compound (I) has a bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bond between the N—H group and the flanking carbonyl and hydroxy O atoms, as well as an intermolecular hydrogen bond, leading to an infinite one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded chain. Compound (II) has one intramolecular hydrogen bond and one intermolecular C=O...H—O hydrogen bond, and consequently also forms a one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded chain. The DFT‐calculated structures [in vacuo, B3LYP/6‐311G(d,p) level] for the keto tautomers compare favourably with the X‐ray crystal structures of (I) and (II), confirming the dominance of the keto tautomer. The simulations indicate that the keto tautomers are 20.55 and 18.86 kJ mol⁻¹ lower in energy than the enol tautomers for (I) and (II), respectively.     

Supramolecular networks in (9‐fluoro‐4H‐chromeno[4,3‐c]isoxazol‐3‐yl)methanol and its 9‐chloro analogue at 100 K

The title compounds, (9‐fluoro‐4H‐chromeno[4,3‐c]isoxazol‐3‐yl)methanol, C₁₁H₈FNO₃, (I), and (9‐chloro‐4H‐chromeno[4,3‐c]isoxazol‐3‐yl)methanol, C₁₁H₈ClNO₃, (II), crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with Z′ = 1 and the triclinic space group P with Z′ = 6, respectively. The simple replacement of F by Cl in the main molecular scaffold of (I) and (II) results in significant differences in the intermolecular interaction patterns and a corresponding change in the point‐group symmetry from D_2h to C_i = S₂. These striking differences are manifested through the presence of C—H...F and the absence of O—H...O and C—H...O interactions in (I), and the absence of C—H...Cl and the presence of O—H...O and C—H...O interactions in (II). However, the geometry of the synthons formed by the O—H...N and O—H...X (X = F or Cl) interactions observed in the constitution of the supramolecular networks of both (I) and (II) remains similar. Also, C—H...O interactions are not preferred in the presence of F in (I), while they are much preferred in the presence of Cl in (II).     

Silber(I)‐di(arensulfonyl)amide und ein Silber(I)‐(arensulfonyl)(alkansulfonyl)amid: Von Bändern zu lamellaren Schichten mit kurzen Zwischenschichtkontakten C–H…Hal–C oder C–Br…Br–C

Structures of Ionic Di(arenesulfonyl)amides. 2. Silver(I) Di(arenesulfonyl)amides and a Silver(I) (Arenesulfonyl)(alkanesulfonyl)amide: From Ribbons to Lamellar Layers Exhibiting Short C–H…Hal–C or C–Br…Br–C Interlayer Contacts Low‐temperature X‐ray crystal structures are reported for AgN(SO₂C₆H₄‐4‐X)₂ · H₂O, where X is Cl ( 4 ) or Br ( 5 ), and for AgN(SO₂Ph)(SO₂Me) ( 6 ). Compounds 4 and 5 and the previously described F analogue ( 3 ) are isotypic, though not strictly isostructural (monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4, but egregiously large discrepancies of x and z coordinates for corresponding atoms). Throughout this triad, glide‐plane related formula units are linked along the z axis to form infinite ribbons [(ArSO₂)₂N–Ag(μ‐H₂O)]_∞, in which Ag extends its coordination number to five by accepting one Ag–O bond from each of the (ArSO₂)₂N^⊖ ligands in the adjacent units. By means of O–H…O(S) hydrogen bonds, the ribbons are associated into lamellar layers parallel to the xz plane. Owing to the folded conformation of the anions, the layers display an inner polar region of Ag atoms, H₂O molecules and N(SO₂)₂ groups, outer apolar regions of stacked pairs of aryl rings, and interlayer regions hosting the halogen atoms. Inspection of the latter areas provides sound evidence that the distinct juxtapositions of adjacent layers arise from specific interlamellar attractions and repulsions ( 3 : two C–H…F, all F…F beyond the van der Waals limit d_W; 4 : one C–H…Cl, close packing of Cl atoms at Cl…Cl ≈ d_W; 5 : one C–H…Br, one short Br…Br contact < d_W, all other Br…Br > d_W). Structure 6 (monoclinic, P2₁/n, Z = 4) consists of a lamellar coordination polymer, in which the cation accepts one Ag–N and three Ag–O bonds drawn from four different anions. On account of crystal symmetry, the extended ligand has its Ph and Me groups distributed on both sides of the sheet, the phenyl rings forming the apolar regions of the lamella, whereas the smaller methyl groups are integrated into the corrugated inorganic region by means of weak C–H…O hydrogen bonds.     

Nitroxide chemistry. Part XVII [1]. Reaction of bistrifluoromethyl nitroxide with some halogenoalkanes and related alkenes

The mono (bistrifluoromethylamino-oxy)alkanes (CF₃)₂NOCXYZ (X = Y = F, Z = Cl; X = H, Y = F or Cl, Z = CH₃; X = Y = F, Z = CH₃; X = H, Y = Cl or Br, Z = CF₃; X = Cl, Y = Br, Z = CF₃) have been synthesised by treatment of appropriate halogenoalkanes, CHXYZ, with bistrifluoromethyl nitroxide. The 1,2-bis(bistrifluoromethylamino-oxy)alkanes (CF₃)₂NOCH₂CXYON(CF₃)₂ were obtained as by-products in the reactions involving the ethanes CH₃CHXY (X = H, Y = F or Cl; X = Y = F); these products, like their analogues (CF₃)₂NOCHFCF₂ON(CF₃)₂ and (CF₃)₂NOCH₂CCl₂ON(CF₃)₂, were also prepared $\text{via}$ attack of bistrifluoromethyl nitroxide on the corresponding ethenes.     

Fluorohalogeno compounds. II. Sonochemical approach to 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic acids

Fluoropropionic acids of the general formula CF₃CXYCO₂H ( X = F, Cl, Br ; Y = F, Cl, Br, H ) were obtained by the sonochemically promoted reaction of fluorohalogenoethanes CF₃CXYZ ( Z = Cl, Br ) with zinc and carbon dioxide. Penta- and tetrafluoroethanes ( X = Y = F and X = F, respectively ) gave good yields ( 35 – 47 % ) of the acids; with trifluoro derivatives the yields were substantially lower. Hydrogenolysis of the CCl and CBr bonds in CF₃CFClCO₂H and CF₃CFBrCO₂H afforded 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropionic acid.     

The competition of Y⋯o and X⋯n halogen bonds to enhance the group V σ‐hole interaction in the NCY⋯oPH3⋯NCX and OPH3⋯NCX⋯NCY (X,YF,Cl, and Br) complexes

The positive electrostatic potentials (ESP) outside the σ‐hole along the extension of O? P bond in O?PH₃ and the negative ESP outside the nitrogen atom along the extension of the C? N bond in NCX could form the Group V σ‐hole interaction O?PH₃?NCX. In this work, the complexes NCY?O?PH₃?NCX and O?PH₃?NCX?NCY (X, Y?F, Cl, Br) were designed to investigate the enhancing effects of Y?O and X?N halogen bonds on the P?N Group V σ‐hole interaction. With the addition of Y?O halogen bond, the V _{S, max} values outside the σ‐hole region of O?PH₃ becomes increasingly positive resulting in a stronger and more polarizable P?N interaction. With the addition of X?N halogen bond, the V _{S, min} values outside the nitrogen atom of NCX becomes increasingly negative, also resulting in a stronger and more polarizable P?N interaction. The Y?O halogen bonds affect the σ‐hole region (decreased density region) outside the phosphorus atom more than the P?N internuclear region (increased density region outside the nitrogen atom), while it is contrary for the X?N halogen bonds. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Chloro­(μ‐6‐methyl­pyridine‐2‐carboxyl­ato)bis­(6‐methyl­pyridine‐2‐carboxyl­ato)triphenyl­chromium(III)­tin(IV) chloro­triphenyl­tin(IV)

The title compound, [CrSn(C₆H₅)₃(C₇H₆NO₂)₃Cl][Sn(C₆H₅)₃Cl(CH₄O)], was obtained from the reaction of Ph₃SnCl with the complex [Cr(C₇H₆NO₂)₃] in methanol. The structure contains [Ph₃SnCl(MeOH)] (A) and [Ph₃SnClCr(C₇H₆NO₂)₃] (B) mol­ecules. In mol­ecule A, the Sn atom of Ph₃SnCl is coordinated by one methanol mol­ecule. In mol­ecule B, the Sn atom of Ph₃SnCl is coordinated by one carboxyl­ate O atom of [Cr(C₇H₆NO₂)₃]. Mol­ecules A and B are connected through an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond between a carboxyl­ate O atom and the methanol OH group. Weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds extend the components of (I) into a two‐dimensional network.
