Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. IV Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Lithium [Tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME Lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide · 1,5 DME [3] and tellurium react in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give colourless lithium [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide · DME ( 1 ). An X-ray structure determination {-150 · 3·C; P2₁/c; a = 1346.6(4); b = 1497.0(4); c = 1274.5(3) pm; β = 99.22(2)·; Z = 2 dimers; R = 0.030} shows the compound to be dimeric forming a planar Li? Te? Li? Te ring with two tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents in a trans position. Three-coordinate tellurium is bound to the central silicon of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group and to two lithium atoms; the two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium are occupied by the chelate ligand DME {Li? Te 278 and 284; Si? Te 250; Li? O 200 pm (2X); Te? Li? Te 105°; Li? Te? Li 75°; O? Li? O 84°}. 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. In typical reactions of the tellanide 1 [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane ( 2 ), methyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane ( 4 ) and bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]ditellane ( 5 ) are formed.

, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnnn {a = 881.1(9); b = 1308.5(9); c = 1563.4(9) pm at ?120 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units}, lithium dihydrogenphosphide · DME 2 [10] prepared from phosphine and lithium- n -butanide in the same solvent, in P2 ₁ 2 ₁ 2 ₁ {a = 671.8(1); b = 878.6(1); c = 1332.2(2) pm at ?120 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units}. X-ray structure determinations (R _w = 0.036/0.045) show the bis(trimethylsilyl) derivative 1 to be dimeric with a planar P? Li? P? Li ring (P? Li 256 pm; Li? P? Li 76°; P? Li? P 104°), and the dihydrogenphosphide 2 to be polymeric with a linear Li? P? Li fragment (P? Li 254 to 260 pm; Li? P? Li 177°; P? Li? P 118°). The shortened P? Si distance (221 pm) of compound 1 and the structure of the PH ₂ group in 2 are discussed in detail. Lithium obtains its preferred coordination number 4 by a chelation with one molecule of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (Li? O 202 to 204 pm).

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. V. Synthesis and Structure of Hexakis{lithium-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide}—Cyclopentane (1/1) . Lithium [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide—DME (1/1) [1 b] prepared from lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide—DME (2/3) [3] and tellurium, reacts with hydrogen chloride in toluene to form [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellane ( 1 ) [1 b]. Subsequent metalation of this compound with lithium n-butanide gives lithium [tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide ( 2 ) free of coordinating solvent. Pale yellow crystals are obtained from cyclopentane solution. An X-ray structure determination {P1 ; a = 1 558.5(7); b = 1 598.4(8); c = 1 643.5(6) pm; α = 117.64(4); β = 91.63(3); γ = 117.19(3)°; Z = 1; R = 0.032} shows them to be the (1/1) packing complex ( 2 ′) of hexakis{lithium-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanide} and disordered cyclopentane molecules —{Li? Te? Si[Si(CH₃)₃]₃}₆ · C₅H₁₀.     

Trimethylsilylverbindungen der Vb-Elemente. V. Molekül- und Kristallstruktur des Lithium-bis(trimethylsilyl)-arsenids · DME

Trimethylsilyl Derivatives of Vb-Elements. V. Molecular and Crystal Structure of Lithium Bis(trimethylsilyl)arsenide · DME Lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)arsenide · DME 1 obtained from tris(trimethylsilyl)-arsine and n-butyl or methyl lithium in 1,2-dimethoxyethane crystallizes monoclinic with {a = 1813(3); b = 1327(3); c = 968(1) pm; β = 119.3(1)°; Z = 4} at +20°C. Experimental conditions unfavourable for an X-ray structure determination caused high standard deviations of all structural parameters. The refinements of these values calculated with respect to the centrosymmetric space group C2/m converged at a relatively high R-value of 0.090. In contrast to the homologous antimonide lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)arsenide · DME 1 is found to be dimeric in solution as well as in the solid state. The four-membered ring built up by bis(trimethylsilyl)arsino groups and DME-coordinated lithium atoms in alternating sequence is planar; the carbon atoms statistically occupy positions on both sides of a mirror plane. Characteristic bond lengths and angles are: As? Si 230.7(7); As? Li 259(2); Li? O 205(4) and 215(4) pm; Si? As? Si 103.2(4)°; Li? As? Li 81(1)°; As? Li? As 99(1)° and Li? As? Si 115(1)°.     

Tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamin und seine lithiierten und silylierten Derivate — Kristallstruktur des dimeren Lithium-trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amids

Tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamine and the lithiated and silylated Derivatives — X-Ray Structure of the dimeric Lithium Trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amide The ammonolysis of the chlor, brom or trifluormethanesulfonyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silane yields the colorless tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamine, destillable at 51°C and 0.02 Torr. The subsequent lithiation, reaction with chlor trimethylsilane and repeated lithiation lead to the formation of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silylamide, trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amine and finally lithium trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amide, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 386.7(2); b = 2 040.2(3); c = 1 609.6(2) pm; β = 96.95(1)° and Z = 4 dimeric molecules. The cyclic Li₂N₂ moiety with Li? N bond distances displays a short transannular Li …? Li contact of 229 pm. The dimeric molecule shows nearly C₂-symmetry, so that one lithium atom forms agostic bonds to both the trimethylsilyl groups, the other one to the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl substituents. However, the ⁷Li{¹H}-NMR spectrum displays a high field shifted singlet at —1.71 ppm. The lithiation of trimethylsilyl-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]amine leads to a high field shift of the ²⁹Si{¹H} resonance of about 12 ppm for the Me₃SiN group, whereas the parameters of the tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl ligand remain nearly unaffected.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VI. Lithium- und (Tetrahydrofuran)lithium-cyantrimethylsilylamid — Synthese und Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VI. Lithium and (Tetrahydrofuran)lithium Cyanotrimethylsilylamide — Syntheses and Structures At different temperatures N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide ( 1 ) and lithium methanide react either under addition or substitution. When compound 1 , however, is treated at ?40°C with an equimolar amount of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium phosphanide ( 2 ) in 1,2-dimethoxyethane, only exchange of one trimethylsilyl group versus lithium is observed and in addition to phosphane and tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphane a very pure lithium derivative insoluble in n-pentane can be isolated. The vibrational spectra prove the compound to be lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ). Recrystallization from tetrahydrofuran (+40/+20°C) yields (tetrahydrofuran)lithium cyanotrimethylsilylamide ( 3 ′). As shown by an X-ray structure analysis {C2/c; a = 2 261.1(5); b = 1 106.4(2); c = 1 045.9(2) pm; β = 113.63(1)°; Z = 8 formula units}, compound 3 ′ is polymeric in the solid state. Coordinative Li? N2′ bonds allow a head-to-tail addition of two monomeric units each to give an eight-membered heterocycle with two linear N1? C2≡N2 fragments (N1? C2 126.1; C2≡N2 117.5; N1? Si 171.4; Li? N1 203.2; Li? N2′ 206.1 pm; C2? N1? Li 109.0; N1? Li? N2′ 115.9; N2≡C2? N1 177.2°). Forming planar four-membered Li? N2? Li? N2 rings (Li? N2″″ 198.3 pm; Li′? N2? Li″ 80.3; N2′? Li? N2″″ 99.5°) these heterocycles polymerize to slightly folded tapes.     

Synthese und Molekülstruktur des (N,N′ -Dimethylpiperazin)lithium-(μ-hydrido)(tert-butyl)bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alanats mit intramolekularer Wechselwirkung zwischen Lithium und C?H?σ-Bindungen

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of (N,N′-Dimethyl-piperazine)lithium-(·-hydrido)(tert-butyl)bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alanate with an Intramolecular Interaction between Lithium and C? H-σ-Bonds Syntheses and properties of the starting compounds bis[bromo-di(tert-butyl)alane] 3 , bis[dibromo-tert-butyl-alane] 4 , and (tert-butyl)bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alane 5 are described. In the presence of 5 and the chelating amine N,N′-dimethylpiperazine lithium tert-butyl gives via μ-elimination isobutene and LiH, which is taken up by the starting alane 5 to give the title compound 6 . No attack of the strong base (lithium alkyl/amine) to the bis(trimethylsilyl) methyl substituent is observed as recently occured for the sterically more crowded tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]alane. Crystal structure of 6 shows a angled Li? H? Al bridge and a short intramolecular contact between Li and C? H-σ-bonds of a trimethylsilyl group.

1 1,2-Dimethoxyethan (DME); Tetrahydrofuran (THF)

1 and green, metallic lustrous tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)dibismuthane 2 crystallize isotopic to their antimony homologues [1, 2]. As it is shown by crystal structure determinations { 1 : ?90°C; I 4 2d; a = 1017,3(4); c = 3738,0(26) pm; Z = 8; R _w = 0,065; 2 : + 20°C; P2 ₁ /c; a = 680,9(4); b = 1704,8(13); c = 1197,9 (10) pm; β = 119,46(6)°; Z = 2; R _w = 0,084} both compounds form chains which in the case of bismuthide 1 are built up as screws of alternating bismuth and lithium atoms; bonding further to two trimethylsilyl groups or to the chelating DME ligand both atoms gain coordination number 4 {Li? Bi 292(3); Bi? Si 263.3(14) pm; Bi? Li? Bi 132(1); Li? Bi? Li 148(1); φ(Li? Bi? Li? Bi) 83°}. In the case of dibismuthane 2 the centrosymmetric molecules are strung, their Bi-Bi groups forming nearly linear zigzag chains with shortened intermolecular contact distances {Bi-Bi 303.5(3); Bi …? Bi 380.4(3); Bi? Si 268 pm; Bi? Bi …? Bi 169; Bi? Bi? Si 97.4(5) and 92.0(5)°}. Structure and properties of 2 are compared with those of similar compounds; the crystal structure of brown, green metallic lustrous bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ditellane 5 already published by Ludlow and McCarthy[3] is reinvestigated with respect to very short intermolecular Te…?Te contacts.     

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.     

Molekül- und Kristallstruktur des 1,4-Bis[tris(tetrahydrofuran)lithium]-octaphenyltetrasilans

Molecular and Crystal Structure of 1,4-Bis[tris(tetrahydrofuran)lithium]-octaphenyltetrasilane 1,4-Dilithium-octaphenyltetrasilane prepared from octaphenyl-cyclo-tetrasilane and lithium in tetrahydrofuran (THF) [4], can be isolated from tetrahydrofuran/n-pentane as an adduct with six molecules of tetrahydrofuran per formula unit. The orange-red compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 {a = 1159.6(3); b = 1268.4(2); c = 1367.8(3) pm; α = 92,23(2)° β = 113.79(2)° γ = 111.62(2)° at ?5 ± 3°C; Z = 1}. An x-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.046) shows the existence of a centrosymmetric molecule with an extended planar Li? Si₄? Li unit; either lithium atom is bound to silicon and to the oxygen atoms of three molecules of tetrahydrofuran. Characteristic bond lengths and angles are: Li? Si 271; Si? Si 241 and 243; Si? C 190 to 192 pm; Li? Si? Si 126°; Si? Si? Si 127°. ²⁹Si and ⁷Li n.m.r. measurements at low temperatures indicate the presence of three different adducts.     

Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XXXIII. Lithoxy-methylidenphosphan · DME und -methylidinphosphan · 2 DME — Synthese und Struktur

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines. XXXIII Lithoxy-methylidenephosphine · DME and -methylidynephosphine · 2DME — Syntheses and Structures Lithium dihydrogenphosphide · DME(¹) and ethyl formate in a molar ratio of 2 : 1 react in 1,2-dimethoxyethane to give liquid lithium formylphosphide · DME in 87% yield. Since lithium complexed by the chelate ligand DME is bound to the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group, the compound has to be considered as lithoxy-methylidenephosphine · DME ( 1 ). According to x-ray structure analyses of crystalline derivatives [5, 6], molecules of this type dimerize forming a four membered Li O Li O ring. Characteristic nmr-data show the presence of an E- and Z-isomer (δ¹ H  P: 3.87 and 4.49; ¹ J _HP: 150.8 and 136.5; δ¹ H  C: 11.4 and 10.05; ² J _HP: 6.1 and 81.2; ³ J _HH: 6.6 and 13.9; δ³¹ P : 38.6 and 8.8; δ¹³ C P: 225.0 and 215.4 ppm; ¹ J _CP: 41.2 and 65.0 cps); in 1,2-dimethoxyethane an E : Z ratio of 1.86 : 1 is found. In a similar reaction of lithium bis (trimethylsilyl)phosphide · 1.6 THF(¹) with excess dimethyl carbonate lithoxy-methylidynephosphine · 2DME ( 2 ) is formed via an up to now poorly understood mechanism. The compound can also be prepared from lithium dihydrogenphosphide · DME; it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n {a = 880.6(2); b = 1296.6(2); c = 1267.4(2) pm; β = 96.07(2)° at −100 ± 3°C; Z = 4}. An x-ray structure analysis (R_w = 0.052) gives a P C distance of 155.5 pm which is typical for a triple bond. The C O bond length of 119.8 pm, however, is extremely short compared to the standard value of a single bond (139 pm). Angles of 178.5° and 170.7° at the carbon and oxygen correspond with the expected linear configuration of the PC O Li backbone of the molecule, Characteristic nmr-data are as follow: δ³¹ P -384.2; δ¹³ C 166.6ppm; ¹J_cp 41.5 cps.

Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane- O,O′ )lithium Phosphanide, Arsanide, and Chloride – Three New Representatives of the Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane- O,O′ )lithium Bromide Type Experiments to obtain thermally unstable lithium silylphosphanide at –60 °C from a 1,2-dimethoxyethane solution resulted in the isolation of its dismutation product bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium phosphanide ( 1 ). The homologous arsanide 2 precipitated after a frozen solution of arsane in the same solvent had been treated with lithium n-butanide at –78 °C. Unexpectedly, too, the analogous chloride 3 and bromide 4 were formed in reactions of 1-chloro-2,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1λ³-phosphaethene with (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)stibanide and of lithium 1,2,3,4,5-pentaphenyl-2,3-dihydro-1λ³-phosphol-3-ide with ω-bromostyrene, respectively. The monomeric complexes 1 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1391.1(4); b = 809.8(2); c = 1249.1(3) pm; β = 102.84(2)°}, 2 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1398.3(4); b = 819.8(3); c = 1258.5(4) pm; β = 103.35(2)°} and 3 {–100 ± 3 °C; a = 1308.4(2); b = 788.2(1); c = 1195.6(1) pm; β = 95.35(1)°} crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four solvated ion pairs in the unit cell; they are isotypic with bis(1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium bromide ( 4 ) {–73 ± 2 °C; a = 1319.0(2); b = 794.1(1); c = 1214.3(2) pm; β = 96.22(1)°}, already studied by Rogers et al. [13] at room temperature. The neutral complexes show a trigonal bipyramidal configuration of symmetry C₂, pnicogenanide or halide anions occupying equatorial sites {Li–P 260.4(4); Li–As 269.8(6); Li–Cl 238.6(7); Li–Br 256.3(10) pm} and the chelate ligands spanning equatorial and axial positions {Li–O_eq 205.4(4) to 207.4(4); Li–O_ax 208.9(3) to 215.5(2) pm}. The coordination within the (dme)₂Li fragment, the Li–X distances (X = P, As, Cl, Br), the structure of the chelate rings, and the packing of the neutral complexes are discussed in detail.

Crystal Structure of the Diphosphasilirane (t-BuP)₂SiPh₂ The three-membered P₂Si-heterocycle 1, 2-di-tert-butyl-3, 3-diphenyl-1, 2, 3-diphosphasilirane (t-BuP)₂SiPh₂ crystallizes monoclinic in the space group P2₁ with a = 1041.2 pm, b = 882.3 pm, c = 1158.1 pm, β = 91.33° and Z = 2 formula units. A special structural feature is the regular triangle built up by two P and one Si. Therefore the endocyclic bond angle at Si is as low as 60°. The average bond lengths are P? P = 222.6 pm, P? Si = 222.5 pm, P? C = 190.8 pm, Si? C = 186.6 pm, (C? C )ph = 139.0 pm, ( C? C )_t-Bu = 151.7 pm. The geometry of the substituents phenyl and tert-butyl is quite normal, the last ones are slightly disordered.

Syntheses and Structure of Tetra(tert-butyl)tetrarsetane and of Tetra(tert-butyl)tetrastibetane Dilithium (tert-butyl)arsenide reacts with (tert-butyl)dichloroarsine to give tetra-(tert-butyl)tetrarsetane 1 ; homologous tetra(tert-butyl)tetrastibetane 2 is formed by reduction of (tert-butyl)dichlorostibane with magnesium. The isotypic compounds 1/2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 4. The dimensions of the unit cells determined at ?45 ± 5°C are: a = 957.4(8)/1 000.2(3); b = 1 399.1(14)/1 423.9(4); c = 1 697.4(9)/1 749.8(7) pm; β = 96.02(6)/96.77(3)°. As shown by low temperature X-ray structure determinations (3 531/3 232 symmetry independent reflections; R_g = 4.0/4.6%) the four membered rings E₄ (E = As or Sb) are folded; in all-trans configuration the bulky organic substituents occupy pseudo-equatorial positions. Characteristic averaged bond distances and angles are: E? E 244/282; E? C 202/221 pm; ? E? E? E 86/85° ? E? E? C 101/99°. The dihedral angels of the bisphenoides built up by the atoms of the rings are found to be 139/133°.

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?

(N,N-Dimethylthiocarbamoyl)trimethylsilyl-phosphines and 1.2-Di(tert-butyl)-3-dimethylamino-1-thio-4-trimethylsilylsulfano-1λ⁵, 2λ³-diphosphet-3-ene In contrast to bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphines R? P[? Si(CH₃)₃]₂ 1 {R ? H₃C a ; (H₃C)₃C b ; H₅H₆ c ; H₁₁C₉ d ; (H₃C)₃Si e }, the more nucleophilic lithium trimethylsilylphosphides 4 react with N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride already at ?78°C to give (N,N-dimethylthiocarbamoyl)trimethylsilylphosphines 2 . Working up the reaction, a dismutation of the mesityl derivative 2d is observed, whereas the tert-butyl compound 2b dissolved in toluene, eliminates dimethyl(trimethylsilyl)amine to form 1,2-di(tert-butyl)-3-dimethylamino-1-thio-4-trimethylsilyl-sulfano- 1λ⁵, 2λ³-diphosphet-3-ene 6b , nearly quantitatively within several days at +20°C.     

Acyl- und Alkylidenphosphane. XXXII [1, 2]. Di-cyclo-hexoyl- und Diadamant-1-oylphosphan — Keto-Enol-Tautomerie und Struktur

Acyl- and Alkylidenephosphines. XXXII. Di-cyclohexoyl- and Diadamant-1-oylphosphine – Keto-Enol Tautomerism and Structure Lithium dihydrogenphosphide · DME (¹) [12] and cyclo-hexoyl or adamant-1-oyl chloride react in a molar ratio of 3:2 to give lithium di-cyclo-hexoylphosphide · DME and the corresponding diadamant-1-oylphosphide.2THF (¹) resp. Treatment of these two compounds with 85% tetrafluoroboric acid. diethylether adduct yields di-cyclo-hexoyl- ( 1b ) and diadamant-1-oylphosphine ( 1c ). In nmr spectroscopic studies 1b over a range of 203 to 343 K, a strong temperature dependence of the keto-enol equilibrium is found; thermodynamic data characteristic for the formation of the enol tautomer (ΔH⁰ = ?4.3 kJ. mol^?1; ΔS⁰ = ?9.2 J. mol^?1. K (^?1) are compared of 1,3-diketones. The enol tautomer of diadamant-1-oylphosphine ( E-1c ) as obtained from a benzene solution in thin colourless plates, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c {a = 722.2(2); b = 1085.5(4); c = 2434.8(5) pm; ß = 96.43(2)° at –100 ± 3°C; Z = 4}. An X- ray structure analysis (R_w = 0.033) shows bond lengths and angles to be almost identical within the enolic system (P? C 179/180; C? O 130/129; C? C(adamant-1-yl) 152/153 pm; C? P? C 99°; P? C? O 124°/124°; P? C? C 120°/120°; C? C? O 116°/116°. The geometry of the very strong, but probably asymmetric O‥H‥O bridge is discussed (O? H 120/130, O‥O 245 pm).     

Trimethylsilylverbindungen der Vb-Elemente. VI. Synthese,Molekül- und Kristallstruktur des Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)distibans im Vergleich mit Tetraphenyldistiban

Trimethylsilyl Derivatives of Vb-Elements. VI. Synthesis, Molecular and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)distibine Compared with Tetraphenyldistibine Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)distibine already isolated by Breunig et al. [9] from cleavage reactions of tris(trimethylsilyl)stibine may also be obtained in high yields from lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)antimonide · 2THF and 1,2-dibromoethane in n-pentane. This compound intensely red in the solid state, but only slightly yellow in solution or in the melt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 680.6(1); b = 1672.8(2); c = 1190.0(1) pm; β = 119.01(5)°; Z = 2 at +20°C. An X-ray structure determination (R = 0.017) shows the bis(trimethylsilyl)-stibino groups to be arranged in a transoid position. Characteristic bond lengths and angles are: Sb? Sb 286.7(1); Sb? Si 259.4 pm; Si? Sb? Si 94.46(3); Sb? Sb? Si 98.68(3) and 94.43(3)°. As in similiar 2,2′,5,5′-tetramethyldistibolyl published recently by Ashe III et al. [8] this crystal structure, too, is characterized by a nearly linear sequence of Sb? Sb groups. Compared with the sum of van-der-Waals radii the intermolecular Sb-Sb contact in such a chain is shortened from 440 to 399 pm. This probably allows electronic interactions of unknown type responsible for the colour of the crystals. In keeping with this assumption an analogous formation of chains is not found in solid, only yellow tetraphenyldistibine 5 the structure of which has already been studied by Rehder et al. [44].     

Trimethylsilylverbindungen der Vb-Elemente. II. Molekül- und KristallStruktur des Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)-diarsans

Trimethylsilyl Derivatives of Vb-Elements. II. Molecular and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)diarsine Pale yellow tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)diarsine 1 which is easily obtained from lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)arsenide · 2 tetrahydrofurane (THF) and 1,2-dibromoethane crystallizes in a trigonal, acentric space group. The dimensions of the unit cell determined at ?95 ± 5°C are: a = 974.2(2); c = 2 080.0(4) pm; Z = 3. Considering anomalous dispersion the refinement of structural data in space group P3₁21 converges at an R-value of 0.060, in its enantiomorph P3₂21, however, at 0.031. With a dihedral angle Si2′? As′? As? Si1 of ?125.7° the molecule adopts gauche conformation. Both bis(trimethylsilyl)arsino groups are symmetry-related by the crystallographic operation of the diad. Characteristic bond lengths and angles are: As? As 245.8(1); As? Si 236.5(1) and 236.2(2) pm; Si? As? Si 100.90(5); As? As? Si 93.87(3) and 113.63(4)°. The shortest intermolecular As? As distance is found to be 662 pm.     

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. VIII. catena-Poly[(2,5,8-trioxanonan-O2,O5) lithium-methylphosphanid] — eine Verbindung mit meso-Helix-Struktur

Metal Derivatives of Molecular Compounds. VIII. catena-Poly[(2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵) lithium-methylphosphanide] — a Compound with a meso-Helix Structure Studies of Fritz et al. [10] showed methylphosphane to be lithiated at ?60°C in 1,2-dimethoxyethane or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether solution by stoichiometric amounts of lithium n-butanide in n-hexane. After removing the hydrocarbons almost completely by distillation and cooling the solutions to ?60°C again, colourless square crystals of (1,2-dimethoxyethane-O,O′)lithium ( 1 ) and (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵)lithium methylphosphanide ( 2 ) precipitate. As shown by an X-ray structure determination (monoclinic, P2₁/n; a = 805.5(1); b = 1820.6(2); c = 851.5(1) pm; β = 116.76(1)° at ?100 ± 3°C; Z = 4 formula units; R = 0.034) complex 2 forms a polymer which has the shape of an up to now scarcely noted meso-helix. Four-coordinated lithium is bound to two phosphorus (P? Li 252.9 and 253.2 pm; P? Li? P 131.8°; Li? P? Li 132.1°) and to two oxygen atoms (Li? O 203.9 and 206.8; O …? O 270.7 pm; O? Li? O 82.5°) of the inherently tridentate 2,5,8-trioxanonane ligand. As compared to the standard value (185 pm) the P? C distance (187.4 pm) is slightly lengthened. Structure determinations of (2,5,8-trioxanonane-O²,O⁵,O⁸) lithium 1-(phenylsulfonyl)alkyl compounds published some years ago [26, 27], allow a comparison of molecular parameters characteristic for the twofold or threefold coordinating chelate ligand.
