Synthesis of Phosphanes Bearing 2‐Imino‐1,3‐thiazolidine Ligands – X‐Ray Analyses and NMR Spectroscopy

Pseudo‐ephedrine derived 2‐imino‐1,3‐thiazolidine 1 reacts with tris(diethylamino)phosphane by stepwise replacement of the diethylamino group to give the mono‐, bis‐ and tris(imino)phosphanes 2 , 3 and 4 , respectively, of which 4 could be isolated in pure state. The analogous reaction with diethylamino‐diphenylphosphane affords the imino‐diphenylphosphane 5 . The iminophosphanes react with sulfur or selenium to give the corresponding phosphorus(V) compounds. In contrast, the reaction of the iminophosphanes with oxygen is very slow; anhydrous trimethylamine N‐oxide reacts in the melt with the phosphanes to give the oxides 4(O) and 5(O) . The molecular structures of 4(O) (in mixture with 4 ), 4(Se) , 5(S) and 5(Se) were determined by X‐ray analysis. In all cases the ring‐sulfur and the phosphorus atoms are in cis‐positions at the C=N bonds. The analogous solution structures were determined by ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ³¹P and ⁷⁷Se NMR spectroscopy. In the case of the compounds 5 , 5(O) , 5(S) and 5(Se) the isotope‐induced chemical shifts ¹δ^14/15N(³¹P) were determined, using INEPT‐HEED experiments.

Synthese und Charakterisierung von InIII–SnII‐Halogenido‐Alkoxiden und von Indiumtri‐tert‐butoxid

Synthesis and Characterization of In^III–Sn^II‐Halogenido‐Alkoxides and of Indiumtri‐ tert ‐butoxide Through sodium halide elimination between Indium(III) halides and sodium‐tri‐tert‐butoxistannate(II) or sodium‐tri‐tert‐butoxigermanate(II) the three new heterometallic and heteroleptic alkoxo compounds THF · Cl₂In(OtBu)₃Sn ( 1 ), THF · Br₂In(OtBu)₃Sn ( 2 ), and THF · Cl₂In‐ (OtBu)₃Ge ( 3 ), have been synthesized. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 in the solid state follow from single crystal X‐ray structure determinations while structural changes in solution may be derived from temperature dependant NMR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of compounds 1 and 2 are despite different halide atoms isostructural. Both crystallize in the ortho‐rhombic crystal system in space group Pbca with eight molecules per unit cell. The heavy atoms occupy the apical positions of empty trigonal bipyramids of almost point symmetry C_s(m) and are connected through oxygen atoms occupying the equatorial positions. The indium atoms in both compounds are in the centers of distorted octahedra from 4 oxygen and 2 halogen atoms whereas the tin atoms are coordinated by three oxygen atoms in a trigonal pyramidal fashion. Although the coordinative bonding of THF to indium leads to an asymmetry of the molecule the NMR spectra in solution are simple showing a more complex pattern at lower temperatures. Tri(tert‐butoxi)indium [In(OtBu)₃]₂ ( 4 ), is obtained through alcoholysis of In(N(Si(CH₃)₃)₂)₃ using tert‐butanol in toluene and is crystallized from hexane. The X‐ray structure determination of 4 seems to be the first one of a homoleptic and homometallic indiumalkoxide. Compound 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system in a dimeric form with eight molecules in the unit cell of space group C2/c. The dimeric units have C₂ symmetry and an almost planar In₂O₂ ring which originates from oxygen bridging of the monomers. Through this mutual Lewis acid base interaction the indium atoms get four oxygen ligands in a distorted tetrahedral environment.

The Variable Reaction Behaviour of Base‐free Tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl Lithium with Trihalogenides of Earth‐Metals and Iron Base‐free tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl Lithium, Tsi–Li, reacts with the earth‐metal trihalogenides (MHal₃ with M = Al, Ga, In and Hal = Cl, Br, I) primarily to give the metallates [Tsi–MHal₃]Li. Simultaneous to this simple metathesis a methylation also takes place, mainly with heavier halogenides of Ga and In with excess Tsi–Li, forming the mono and dimethyl compounds Tsi–M(Me)Hal (M = Ga, In; Hal = I), Tsi–MMe₂ (M = Ga), and the bis(trisyl)derivative (Tsi)₂InMe, respectively and the main by‐product 1,3‐disilacyclobutane. Representatives of each type of compound have been isolated by fractionating crystallizations or sublimations and characterized by spectroscopic methods (¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si NMR, IR, Raman) and X‐ray elucidations. Reduction takes place, when FeCl₃ reacts with Tsi–Li (1 : 3 ratio) in toluene at 55–60 °C, yielding red‐violet Fe(Tsi)₂, 1,1,1‐tris(trimethylsilyl)‐2‐phenyl ethane and low amounts of Tsi–Cl. Fe(Tsi)₂ is monomeric, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and consists of a linear C–Fe–C skeleton with d(Fe–C) of 204,5(4) pm.

[B(C₆H₅)_spc] is prepared from phthalonitrile and tetraphenylborate or tetraphenyloboron oxide, resp. [B(OR)_spc] (R = H, CH(CH₃)₂, C(CH₃)₃, C₆H₅) is synthesized by bromide substitution of [B(Br)_spc] in pyridine/HOR. Substitution of [B(Br)_spc] in carboxylic acids yields [B(OOCR)_spc] (R = H, CX₃ (X = H, Cl, F), CH₂X (X = Cl, C₆H₅), C₆H₅). All subphthalocyaninates are characterized electrochemically and by UV‐VIS, IR/FIR, resonance Raman, and ¹H/¹⁰B‐NMR spectroscopy.

The difference ν(C=O)–ν(C–O) > 400 cm^–1 confirms the unidentate coordination of the carboxylato ligands. According to the crystal structure analysis of [B(OH)_spc], [B(OH)_spc] · 2 H₂O, [B(C₆H₅)_spc], [B(OC(CH₃)₃)_spc], [B(OOCCH₃)_spc] · 0.5 H₂O · C₂H₅OH and [B(OOCCH₃)_spc] · 0.4 H₂O · 1.1 C₅H₅N the _spc ligand is concavely distorted. This saucer shaped conformation is independent of the acido ligands and the presence of solvate. The outermost C atomes are vertically displaced in part by more than 2 Å from the N_i plane. The B atom is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry. It is displaced by ca 0.64 Å out of the N_i plane towards the acido ligand. The average B–N distance is 1.500 Å, and the B–O distances range from 1.418(5) to 1.473(2) Å.

All ions are coordinated by 5 ligands in the shape of trigonal bipyramidal polyhedra, according to the formula Li₄^[5]Se^[5]O₅^[5]. From the empirical formula and the coordinaton environments, it is clear that this is an order variant of the A^[5]B^[5] structure type, that was found in the system NaCl by global optimisation methods. The crystal structure is consistent with spectroscopic data (IR, Raman, NMR). The ionic conductivity (σ = 3.34 10^–5 Ω^–1 cm^–1 at 340 °C) of the compound was determined with impedance measurements.

Lithium‐ und Caesium‐Alkoxometallate

Lithium and Cesium Alkoxometalates The aluminium alkoxide, Al(OCH₂Ph)₃ ( 1 ), can be obtained from a direct synthesis of Al and PhCH₂OH under HgCl₂ catalysis. The formation of the metalate [{(Diglyme)Li}{Al(O^tBu)₄}] ( 2 ) from LiAlH₄ and ^tBuOH in THF under evolution of hydrogen takes place, if the reaction product is heated under reflux with additional ^tBuOH in diglyme.
