Abstract

The reactions of a variety of electrophiles with the N-silyl-P-trifluoroethoxyphosphoranimine anion Me₃Sin°P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH^? ₂ (1a), prepared by the deprotonation of the dimethyl precursor Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(OCH₂CF₃)Me₂ (1) with n-BuLi in Et₂O at-78°C, were studied. Thus, treatment of 1a with alkyl halides, ethyl chloroformate, or bromine afforded the new N-silylphosphoranimine derivatives Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂R [2: R = Me, 3: R = CH₂Ph, 4: R = CH[sbnd]CH₂, 5: R = C(O)OEt, and 6: R = Br]. In another series, when 1a was allowed to react with various carbonyl compounds, 1,2-addition of the anion to the carbonyl group was observed. Quenching with Me₃SiCl gave the O-silylated products Me₃SiN[dbnd]P(Me)(OCH₂CF₃)CH₂°C(OSiMe₃)R¹R² [7: R ¹ = R ² = Me; 8: R ¹ = Me, R ² = Ph; 9: R¹ = Me, R ² = CH[sbnd]CH₂; and 10: R ¹ = H, R ² = Ph]. Compounds 2–10 were obtained as distillable, thermally stable liquids and were characterized by NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) and elemental analysis.

Syntheses, structural determination and binding studies of nine-coordinate mononuclear (EnH2)1.5 [ErIII(Ttha)] · 3H2O and (EnH2)[ErIII(Egta)(H2O)]2 · 6H2O

In this work, the title complexes, (EnH₂)_1.5[Er^III(Ttha)] · 3H₂O (I) and (EnH₂)[Er^III(Egta)(H₂O)]₂ · 6H₂O (II), where En = ethylenediamine, H₆Ttha = triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N″,N″’,N″′-hexaacetic acid, H₄Egta = ethyleneglycol-bis-(2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid, have been successfully synthesized. Their structures have been characterized by IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The X-ray diffraction reveals that I is nine-coordinated and crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal space group P2/n with cell dimensions a = 17.6058(16), b = 9.6249(9), c = 20.560(2) ?, β = 109.7440(10)°, and V = 3279.1(5) ?³. Compound II is also nine-coordinated and crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal space group P2₁/n with the cell dimensions a = 12.938(6), b = 12.651(5), c = 14.943(6) ?, β = 105.441(5)°, and V = 2357.5(17) ?³. In I, each EnH₂²⁺ cation connects three adjacent [Er^III(Egta)(H₂O)]⁻ complex anions through hydrogen bonds, while in I, there are two types of EnH₂ ²⁺ anions. One is highly symmetrical, forming hydrogen bonds with two neighboring [Er^III(Ttha)]³⁻ complex anions. The other anion connects three adjacent [Er^III(Ttha)]³⁻ complex anions through hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of 2D ladder-like layer structure.     

Synthesis and thermal stability of silicon-containing esters of phosphorus acids

A number of trialkylsilylmethyl diphenyl phosphates MeRR′SiCH₂OP(O)(OPh)₂ (1a-e: R=Et (a), Pr (b), CF₃CH₂CH₂ (c, e), Me₃SiCH₂ (d); R′=Me (a-d), Et (e)) were synthesized and their thermal rearrangement, of the 1,2-shift type, was studied. The rearrangement consists of the migration of an alkyl group from Si atom to the methylene carbon atom and gives the corresponding silyl esters. The rate of the rearrangement was found to increase in the order1d<1b<1a<1 (R=R′=Me)<1c corresponding to the enhancement of the total inductive effect (−I) of the substituents at the Si atom. The relative migration ability of the substituents at the Si atom, determined by GC/MS analysis of the disiloxane fraction resulting from hydrolysis of pyrolyzed phosphates1a-e, increases in the order R=Pr<Et<CF₃CH₂CH₂<Me≪Me₃SiCH₂, which differs substantially from the order in which the rate of the rearrangement of phosphates1a-d changes. The electronegativity of the migrating group affects noticeably the relative ability to migrate. For Part 4, see Ref. 1. Deceased.

Tin Tetrachloride Adducts with Arylphosphoramidates: A Multinuclear (31P, 19F,and 119Sn) NMR Characterization in Solution

Abstract

The synthesis of octahedral complexes [SnCl₄L₂] (L = R₂NP(O)(OCH₂CF₃)(O-p-tolyl): R₂N = Me₂N (1), Et₂N (2), CH₂(CH₂CH₂)₂N (3), and O(CH₂CH₂)₂N (4), or L = R₂NP(O)(OCH₂CF₃)(O-p-PhNO₂): R₂N = Me₂N (5), Et₂N (6), and O(CH₂CH₂)₂N (7) is described. The new adducts have been characterized by multinuclear (³¹P, ¹⁹F, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The solution NMR data show the presence of a mixture of cis and trans isomers. The structure of the complexes in solution was further confirmed by ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra, which display a triplet for each isomer, indicating an octahedrally coordinated tin center. The effects of the nature of R and Ar substituents on the donor ability of the P=O group in the ligands R₂NP(O)(OCH₂CF₃)(OAr) were investigated on the basis of ¹¹⁹Sn NMR chemical shifts and used to classify these ligands according to their Lewis basicity.     

Synthesis of Boron–Nitrogen–Phosphorus Compounds from N-Silylphosphoranimines

Two modes of reactivity of N-silylphosphoranimines have been utilized to prepare the title compounds containing either B–N=P or Si–N=P–N–B linkages. First, silicon-nitrogen bond cleavage reactions of the N-silylphosphoranimines, Me₃SiN=PMe(R)OCH₂CF₃ (1: R=Me, 2: R=Ph), with various chloroboranes gave the new N-borylphosphoranimines, Ph(Me₂N)B–N=PMe₂OCH₂CF₃ (2) and [(Me₃Si)₂N](Cl)B–N=PMe₂OCH₂CF₃ (10). In other cases, however, the expected B–N=P products were unstable and cyclic phosphazenes [Me(R)P=N]_3,4 were obtained. Second, deprotonation-substitution reactions of the aminophosphoranimines, Me₃SiN=P(R)Me–N(R)H, were used to prepare a series of novel (borylamino)-phosphoranimines, Me₃SiN=P(R)(Me)–N(R)–B(NMe₂)₂ (18: R=Me, R=t-Bu; 19: R=R=Me; 20: R=Ph, R=t-Bu; 21: R=Ph, R=Me) and Me₃SiN=PMe₂–N(t-Bu)–B(Ph)X (22: X=NMe₂, 23: X=OCH₂CF₃). All of the new boron–nitrogen–phosphorus products were fully characterized by multinuclear NMR (¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P) spectroscopy and elemental analysis.

Cyclic voltammetry shows the Mn(III)/Mn(II) couple at >?1.0?V along with azo reductions.

Electrochemistry and Spectroscopy of Sulfate Complexes of (Tetraphenylporphyrinato)manganese

The electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of [Mn₂(tpp)₂(SO₄)] (H₂tpp=tetraphenylporphyrin=5,10,15,20‐tetraphenyl‐21H,23H‐porphine) were studied to characterize the stability of this compound as a function of solvent, redox state, and sulfate concentration. In non‐coordinating solvents such as 1,2‐dichloroethane, the dimer was stable, and two cyclic voltammetric waves were observed in the region for Mn^III reduction. These waves correspond to reduction of the dimer to [Mn^II(tpp)] and [Mn^III(tpp)(OSO₃)]^?, and reduction of [Mn^III(tpp)(OSO₃)]^? to [Mn^II(tpp)(OSO₃)]^2?, respectively. In the coordinating solvent DMSO, [Mn₂(tpp)₂(SO₄)] was unstable and dissociated to form [Mn^III(tpp)(DMSO)₂]⁺. A single voltammetric wave was observed for Mn^III reduction in this solvent, corresponding to formation of [Mn^II(tpp)(DMSO)]. In non‐coordinating solvent systems, addition of sulfate (as the bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium (PPN⁺) salt) resulted in dimer dissociation, yielding [Mn^III(tpp)(OSO₃)]^?. Reduction of this monomer produced [Mn^II(tpp)(OSO₃)]^2?. In DMSO, addition of SO led to displacement of solvent molecules forming [Mn^III(tpp)(OSO₃)]^?. Reduction of this species in DMSO led to [Mn^II(tpp)(DMSO)].
