Bildung siliciumorganischer Verbindungen. 111. Die Hydrierung Si-chlorierter,C-spiroverbrückter 2,4-Disilacyclobutane mit LiAlH4 und iBu2AlH. Der Zugang zum Si8C3H20

Formation of Organosilicon Compounds. 111. The Hydrogenation of Si-chlorinated, C-spiro-linked 2,4-Disilacyclobutanes with LiAlH₄ or iBu₂AlH. The Access to Si₈C₃H₂₀ The hydrogenation of Si-chlorinated, C-spiro-linked 2,4-disilacyclobutanes containing C(SiCl₃)₂ terminal groups with LiAlH₄ in Et₂O proceeds under complete cleavage of the fourmembered rings and under elimination of one SiH₃ group. Such, Si₈C₃Cl₂₀ 4 forms (H₃Si)₂CH? SiH₂? CH(SiH₃)? SiH₂? CH(SiH₃)₂ 4 α, and even Si₈C₃H₂₀ 4a with LiAlH₄ forms 4 α. The hydrogenation of related compounds containing however CH(SiCl₃) terminal groups similarly proceeds under ring cleavage but no SiH₃ groups are eliminated. Such, (Cl₃Si)CH(SiCl₂)₂CH(SiCl₃) 41 forms (H₃Si)₂CH? SiH₂? CH₂(SiH₃) 41 α. However, in reactions with iBu₂AlH in pentane neither the disilacyclobutane rings are cleaved nor are SiH₃ groups eliminated. Only by this method Si₈C₃H₂₀ is accessible from 4 , Si₆C₂H₁₆ 3a from Si₆C₂Cl₁₆ 3 and Si₄C₂H₁₂ 41a from 41 . C(SiCl₃)₄ cleanly produces C(SiH₃)₄. Based on the knowledge about the different properties of LiAlH₄ and iBu₂AlH in hydrogenation reactions of disilacyclo-butanes it was possible to elucidate the composition and the structures of the hydrogenated derivatives of the product mixture from the reaction of MeCl₂Si? CCl₂? SiCl₃ with Si(Cu) [1] and to trace them back to the initially formed Si chlorinated disilacyclobutanes Si₆C₂Cl₁₅Me 34 , Si₆C₂Cl₁₄Me₂ 35 , Si₈C₃Cl₁₉Me 36 and Si₈C₃Cl₁₈Me₂ 37 . Compound 4a forms colourless crystals of space group P1 with a = 799.7(6), b = 1263.6(12), c = 1758.7(14) pm, α = 103.33(7)°, β = 95.28(6)°, γ = 105.57(7)° and Z = 4.

Stability constants of thorium(IV) complexes with aryl-bis-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-pyrazolyl) methane ligands

Summary Stability constants of complexes of aryl-bis-(5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-4-pyrazolyl) methane [ArBPyM] derivatives with thorium(IV) ions were determined by the potentiometric method at 30°C and an ionic strength of 0.1 mol·dm^–3 (KNO₃) in 75% (v/v) dioxane-water. The evaluation of the titration data indicated that four kinds of complexes ([ThL]²⁺, [ThLOH]⁺, [ThL ₂], and [ThL(OH)₂]^2–) were formed. The formation constants for all [ThL]²⁺ and [ThL ₂] complexes have been calculated to compare these values with those previously reported [1, 2] with Ln³⁺ and UO ₂ ²⁺ metal ions [2, 3]. The probable ligand-bonding sites of the complexes are proposed. In addition, the applicability of theHammett equation for the correlation of the stability constants of [Th(IV)-ArBPyM] complexes are discussed.

Ab initio chemical kinetics for the unimolecular decomposition of Si2H5 radical and related reverse bimolecular reactions

For plasma enhanced and catalytic chemical vapor deposition (PECVD and Cat‐CVD) processes using small silanes as precursors, disilanyl radical (Si₂H₅) is a potential reactive intermediate involved in various chemical reactions. For modeling and optimization of homogeneous a‐Si:H film growth on large‐area substrates, we have investigated the kinetics and mechanisms for the thermal decomposition of Si₂H₅ producing smaller silicon hydrides including SiH, SiH₂, SiH_3, and Si₂H₄, and the related reverse reactions involving these species by using ab initio molecular‐orbital calculations. The results show that the lowest energy path is the production of SiH + SiH₄ that proceeds via a transition state with a barrier of 33.4 kcal/mol relative to Si₂H₅. Additionally, the dissociation energies for breaking the Si? Si and H? SiH₂ bonds were predicted to be 53.4 and 61.4 kcal/mol, respectively. To validate the predicted enthalpies of reaction, we have evaluated the enthalpies of formation for SiH, SiH₂, HSiSiH₂, and Si₂H₄(C_2h) at 0 K by using the isodesmic reactions, such as ²HSiSiH₂ + ¹C₂H₆→¹Si₂H₆ + ²HCCH₂ and ¹Si₂H₄(C_2h) + ¹C₂H₆ → ¹Si₂H₆ + ¹C₂H₄. The results of SiH (87.2 kcal/mol), SiH₂ (64.9 kcal/mol), HSiSiH₂ (98.0 kcal/mol), and Si₂H₄ (68.9 kcal/mol) agree reasonably well previous published data. Furthermore, the rate constants for the decomposition of Si₂H₅ and the related bimolecular reverse reactions have been predicted and tabulated for different T, P‐conditions with variational Rice–Ramsperger–Kassel–Marcus (RRKM) theory by solving the master equation. The result indicates that the formation of SiH + SiH₄ product pair is most favored in the decomposition as well as in the bimolecular reactions of SiH₂ + SiH₃, HSiSiH₂ + H₂, and Si₂H₄(C_2h) + H under T, P‐conditions typically used in PECVD and Cat‐CVD. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

NHC→SiCl4: An Ambivalent Carbene‐Transfer Reagent

The addition of BCl₃ to the carbene‐transfer reagent NHC→SiCl₄ (NHC=1,3‐dimethylimidazolidin‐2‐ylidene) gave the tetra‐ and pentacoordinate trichlorosilicon(IV) cations [(NHC)SiCl₃]⁺ and [(NHC)₂SiCl₃]⁺ with tetrachloroborate as counterion. This is in contrast to previous reactions, in which NHC→SiCl₄ served as a transfer reagent for the NHC ligand. The addition of BF₃ ? OEt₂, on the other hand, gave NHC→BF₃ as the product of NHC transfer. In addition, the highly Lewis acidic bis(pentafluoroethyl)silane (C₂F₅)₂SiCl₂ was treated with NHC→SiCl₄. In acetonitrile, the cationic silicon(IV) complexes [(NHC)SiCl₃]⁺ and [(NHC)₂SiCl₃]⁺ were detected with [(C₂F₅)SiCl₃]^? as counterion. A similar result was already reported for the reaction of NHC→SiCl₄ with (C₂F₅)₂SiH₂, which gave [(NHC)₂SiCl₂H][(C₂F₅)SiCl₃]. If the reaction medium was changed to dichloromethane, the products of carbene transfer, NHC→Si(C₂F₅)₂Cl₂ and NHC→Si(C₂F₅)₂ClH, respectively, were obtained instead. The formation of the latter species is a result of chloride/hydride metathesis. These compounds may serve as valuable precursors for electron‐poor silylenes. Furthermore, the reactivity of NHC→SiCl₄ towards phosphines is discussed. The carbene complex NHC→PCl₃ shows similar reactivity to NHC→SiCl₄, and may even serve as a carbene‐transfer reagent as well.     

The Special Features of the Structure of Silane and Disilane Derivative Molecules

The enthalpies δ_f H ^o (298.15, g), barriers to internal rotation, and geometric configuration parameters of CH₃SiH₃, CCl₃SiH₃, SiCl₃CH₃, SiCl₃SiH₃, SiCl₃CCl₃, and SiCl₃SiCl₃ were calculated by the RHF/6-31G(d) method.     

Beiträge zur Chemie der Halogensilan-Addukte. VIII. Darstellung und Eigenschaften der kationischen Bis-2,2′-Bipyridin-Silicium-Komplexe, [SiCl2b[py2]2+ und [SiF2bipy2]2+

Contributions to the Chemistry of Halogenosilane Adducts. VIII. Preparation and Properties of the Cationic Bis-2,2′-Bipyridinesilicon Complexes, [SiCl₂bipy₂]²⁺ and [SiF₂bipy₂]²⁺ The reactions of SiCl₂bipy₂ (green isomer) and SiF₂bipy₂ with chlorine yield the new ionic complexes of Si, [SiX₂bipy₂]Cl₂ (X = Cl, F). Bromine and iodine react similarly. With these reagents, however, formation of insoluble polyhalides of the complex cations inevitably occurs rendering further investigations difficult. The compounds contain the cis-octahedral cation [SiX₂bipy₂]²⁺. They are soluble in methanol and water and are unusually stable in these solvents. [SiCl₂bipy₂]Cl₂ starts to react observably with methanol (substitution of SiCl) only after weeks. Thus reactions may be performed in this solvent. It follows from the investigation that the green isomer of SiCl₂bipy₂ is a cis-octahedral molecular complex of silicon. Two other green isomers of SiCl₂bipy₂ are shown to exist. The reactions of chlorine with these isomers yield products different from the cis-octahedral complex reported above. Ion-exchange and metathetical reactions of [SiCl₂bipy₂]Cl₂ yield the new compounds [SiCl₂bipy₂]X₂ (X = Br^?, J^?, NO₃^?, ClO₄^?, [Cr(NH₃)₂(NCS)₄]^?, PtCl₆^2?/2). All compounds contain the [SiCl₂bipy₂]²⁺-cation which is investigated in detail (¹H-, ²⁹Si-NMR, IR, UV, ESCA, conductivity, molecular weight). The use of AgF for the synthesis of ionic SiF-complexes (X = F) gives rise to more complicated reactions.     

Functionalization of Pentaphosphorus Cations by Complexation

The chemistry of polyphosphorus cations has rapidly developed in recent years, but their coordination behavior has remained mostly unexplored. Herein, we describe the reactivity of [P₅R₂]⁺ cations with cyclopentadienyl metal complexes. The reaction of [Cp^ArFe(μ‐Br)]₂ (Cp^Ar=C₅(C₆H₄‐4‐Et)₅) with [P₅R₂][GaCl₄] (R=iPr and 2,4,6‐Me₃C₆H₂ (Mes)) afforded bicyclo[1.1.0]pentaphosphanes ( 1‐R , R=iPr and Mes), showing an unsymmetric “butterfly” structure. The same products 1‐R were formed from K[Cp^Ar] and [P₅R₂][GaCl₄]. The cationic complexes [Cp^ArCo(η⁴‐P₅R₂)][GaCl₄] ( 2‐R [GaCl₄], R=iPr and Cy) and [(Cp^ArNi)₂(η^3:3‐P₅R₂)][GaCl₄] ( 3‐R [GaCl₄]) were obtained from [P₅R₂][GaCl₄] and [Cp^ArM(μ‐Br)]₂ (M=Co and Ni) as well as by using low‐valent “Cp^ArM^I” sources. Anion metathesis of 2‐R [GaCl₄] and 3‐R [GaCl₄] was achieved with Na[BArF₂₄]. The P₅ framework of the resulting salts 2‐R [BArF₂₄] can be further functionalized with nucleophiles. Thus reactions with [Et₄N]X (X=CN and Cl) give unprecedented cyano‐ and chloro‐functionalized complexes, while organo‐functionalization was achieved with CyMgCl.     

Fragmentation behavior of Si2Cln+ cations (n = 1—6)

Sector-field mass spectrometry was used to probe the fragmentation patterns of the cationic silicon chlorides Si₂Cl_n ⁺ (n = 1—6). For almost all Si₂Cl_n ⁺ ions, Si—Si fragmentation predominates the Si—Cl bond cleavage both in the metastable ion and collisional activation mass spectra. Analysis of the fragmentation patterns indicates that the long-lived radical cation Si₂Cl₆ ^·+ corresponds to a complex [SiCl₂·SiCl₄]^·+ rather than the intact molecular ion of hexachlorodisilane. The behavior of Si₂Cl₅ ⁺ is consistent with the formation of the (trichlorosilyl)dichlorosilyl cation Cl₃SiSICl₂ ⁺. Structural aspects are also discussed for the other Si₂Cl_n ⁺ species. A semi-quantitative analysis of the fragmentation patterns in conjunction with the literature thermochemistry data was used to estimate some thermochemical properties of the Si₂Cl_n ⁺ cations.     

New Examples for the Unexpected Stability of the 10π‐Electron Hückel Arene [Si6]10–

The compounds Ba₄Ag₂Si₆, Eu₄Ag₂Si₆, and Ca₄Ag₂Si₆, prepared from the elements at 1273 K (the components in inner corundum crucibles are enclosed in sealed quartz ampoules), are brittle semiconductors with silvery luster. They react slowly with acids liberating hydrogen. Ba₄Ag₂[Si₆] and Eu₄Ag₂[Si₆] crystallize like Ba₄Li₂[Si₆] (space group Fddd (No. 70); a = 8.613 Å, b = 14.927 Å, c = 19.639 Å, and a = 8.420 Å, b = 14.585 Å, c = 17.864 Å, respectively), whereas Ca₄Ag₂[Si₆] represents a new structure type (space group Fmmm (No. 69); a = 8.315 Å, b = 14.391 Å, c = 8.646 Å). The three compounds are Zintl phases with the formal charges M²⁺, Ag⁺ and [Si₆]^10–. The mean bond lengths d(Si–Si) = 2.335–2.381 Å in the 10π‐Hückel arene [Si₆]^10– as well as d(Ag–Si) = 2.464–2.595 Å vary with the size of the M²⁺ cations. The chemical bonding was analyzed in terms of the Electron Localization Function (ELF) and compared with the bonding in related systems (Ce₄Co₂Si₆).

IPr3Si3Cl5+: A Highly Reactive Cation with Silanide Character

The reaction of a metastable SiCl₂ solution with the sterically less‐demanding carbene N,N‐diisopropylimidazo‐2‐ylidene (IPr) yields the salt [(IPr₃Si₃Cl₅)⁺]Cl^? ( 1 ‐Cl), containing a silyl cation with a Si₃ backbone. Salt 1 is highly reactive, but it can be used as a reagent in deuterated dichloromethane, whereby dehalogenation with Me₃SiOTf (OTf=O₃SCF₃) gives the dicationic silyl halide [(IPr₃Si₃Cl₄)]²⁺ 2 . Quantum chemical calculations show that the HOMO is localized at the negatively charged central silicon atom of 1 and 2 , and thus although both compounds are cations they are better described as silanides, which was also corroborated by NMR investigations.     

Binuclear organometallic compounds VIII. Oxidative addition of Si-H or Si-Cl compounds to low valent Fe, Co, or Ni complexes stabilised by mono- or bi-dentate phosphines

The reactions of [(Ph₃P)₄Ni], [(Ph₃P)₃CoN₂], [(dp)₂Ni], [(dp)₂CoH], [(dp)₂Fe(C₂H₄)] or [(dp)₂FeH₂] (dp = Ph₂PCH₂CH₂Ph₂P) with Ph_nSiCl_4-n (n = 1, 2, or 3), Ph_nSiH_4-n, X₃SiH (X = Cl or Et), or R₂ClSiH (R = Ph or Me) have been investigated. Solid complexes were isolated which, for the most part, were insoluble in non-polar solvents. Assignments of structures are therefore incomplete, and are based on microanalysis, IR spectra, analogies with established reactions, and (in some cases) chemical degradation. Evidence is presented for the following: (i) for Ni^II, products from [(Ph₃P)₄Ni] and HSiXX′X″ (XX′X″ = Ph₃, Ph₂H or PhH₂), the cyclic [(Ph₃P)₂NiSiCl₂]₂, and the five-coordinate [(dp)₂-NiX]⁺[SiCl₃]^- (X = H or Cl₃Si); (ii) for Co^III, the six-coordinate cis-octahedral [(dp)₂CoH₂]⁺ [SiXX′X″]^- (XX′X″ = Cl₃, Cl₂Me, ClMe₂, or ClPh₂); and for Fe^II, the four-coordinate [(dp)FeH(SiCl₃)] and the six-coordinate [(dp)₂Fe(X)SiCl₃] (X = H, Cl, or Cl₃Si).

La2Si2O7 im I—Typ: Gemäß La6[Si4O13][SiO4]2 kein echtes Lanthandisilicat

I‐Type La₂Si₂O₇: According to La₆[Si₄O₁₃][SiO₄]₂ not a Real Lanthanum Disilicate In attempts to synthesize lanthanum telluride silicate La₂Te[SiO₄] (from La, TeO₂, SiO₂ and CsCl, molar ratio: 1 : 1: 1 : 20, 950 °C, 7 d) or fluoride‐rich lanthanum fluoride silicates (from LaF₃, La₂O₃, SiO₂ and CsCl, molar ratio: 5 : 2 : 3 : 17, 700 °C, 7 d) in evacuated silica tubes, colourless lath‐shaped single crystals of hitherto unknown I‐type La₂Si₂O₇ (monoclinic, P2₁/c; a = 726.14(5), b = 2353.2(2), c = 1013.11(8) pm, β = 90.159(7)°) were found in the CsCl‐flux melts. Nevertheless, this new modification of lanthanum disilicate does not contain any discrete disilicate groups [Si₂O₇]^6‐ but formally three of them are dismutated into one catena‐tetrasilicate ([Si₄O₁₃]^10‐ unit of four vertex‐linked [SiO₄]^4‐ tetrahedra) and two ortho‐silicate anions (isolated [SiO₄]^4‐ tetrahedra) according to La₆[Si₄O₁₃][SiO₄]₂. This compound can be described as built up of alternating layers of these [SiO₄]^4‐ and the horseshoe‐shaped [Si₄O₁₃]^10‐ anions along [010]. Between and within the layers the high‐coordinated La ³⁺ cations (CN = 9 ‐ 11) are localized. The close structural relationship to the borosilicates M₃[BSiO₆][SiO₄](M = Ce ‐ Eu) is discussed and structural comparisons with other catena‐tetrasilicates are presented.     

Einkristalle von Y3F[Si3O10] im Thalenit-Typ

Single Crystals of Y₃F[Si₃O₁₀] with Thalenite-Type Structure Colourless, diamond-shaped single crystals of Y₃F[Si₃O₁₀] (monoclinic, P2₁/n; a = 730.38(5), b = 1112.47(8), c = 1037.14(7) pm, β = 97.235(6)°, Z = 4) with thalenite-type structure are obtained upon the reaction of YF₃ with Y₂O₃ and SiO₂ (1 : 4 : 9 molar ratio) in evacuated silica tubes at 700 °C in the presence of CsCl as flux within seven days. The crystal structure consists of triangular [FY₃]⁸⁺ cations and catena-trisilicate anions [Si₃O₁₀]^8–, which exhibit a horseshoe-shape resulting from two vertex-shared terminal [SiO₄] tetrahedra with both staggered and eclipsed conformation relative to the central one. The Y³⁺ cations have coordination numbers of seven plus one (Y1) or seven (Y2 and Y3), but only one F^– anion belongs to each and vice versa, the remainder ligands being oxygen members of [Si₃O₁₀]^8– anions.     

Aluminium‐Mediated Carbon Dioxide Reduction by an Isolated Monoalumoxane Anion

The deoxygenative conversion of carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide is promoted by the aluminyl anion [Al(NON^Ar)]^? (NON^Ar=[O(SiMe₂NAr)₂]^2?, Ar=2,6‐iPr₂C₆H₃). The reaction proceeds via the isolable monoalumoxane anion [Al(NON^Ar)(O)]^?, containing a terminal aluminum‐oxygen bond. This species reacts with a second equivalent of carbon dioxide to afford the carbonate [Al(NON^Ar)(CO₃)]^?, and with nitrous oxide to generate the hyponitrite anion, [Al(NON^Ar)(κ²O,O′‐N₂O₂)]^?.
