Synthesis, Spectroscopic Characterization, and Molecular Structures of Selected Lewis‐Base Adducts of the Alkali Metal Tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphanides The metalation of tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphane with butyllithium and the bis(trimethylsilyl)amides of sodium, potassium, and rubidium yields quantitatively the corresponding alkali metal tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphanides, which crystallize after addition of appropriate Lewis‐bases as dimeric (DME)LiP(H)SitBu₃ ( 1 ), chain‐like (DME)NaP(H)SitBu₃ ( 2 ), monomeric ([18]Krone‐6)KP(H)SitBu₃ ( 3 ), and dimeric (TMEDA)_1.5RbP(H)SitBu₃ ( 4 ). The reaction of H₂PSitBu₃ with cesium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide at room temperature gives monocyclic and tetrameric cesium tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphanide ( 5 ) with two additional coordinated CsN(SiMe₃)₂ molecules. At 80 °C this complex reacts with excess of phosphane to the tetrameric toluene adduct (η⁶‐Toluol)CsP(H)SitBu₃ ( 6 ) which contains a central Cs₄P₄‐heterocubane fragment. The constitution of these compounds was verified by X‐ray structure determinations.

Synthesis of a Hexanuclear Calcium–Phosphorus‐Cage The metalation of tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphane with calcium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] yields the dimer {(Me₃Si)₂N–Ca(THF)[μ‐P(H)Si^tBu₃]}₂ ( 1 ). In THF monomerization occurs and dismutation reactions lead to the homoleptic compounds, namely (THF)₂Ca[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ and (THF)₄Ca[P(H)Si^tBu₃]₂. In toluene, 1 undergoes dismutation reactions, bis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] is regained and [(Me₃Si)₂N–Ca(THF)]₂Ca[P(H)Si^tBu₃]₄ ( 2 ) precipitates. At raised temperatures, 2 undergoes a homometallic metalation with the loss of two equivalents of HN(SiMe₃)₂ and dimerizes. The thus formed cage compound (THF)₂Ca₆[PSi^tBu₃]₄[P(H)Si^tBu₃]₄ ( 3 ) with a central Ca₄P₄ heterocubane moiety crystallizes upon cooling of the toluene solution. The molecular structures of 2 and 3 were determined.

The subsequent reaction of 2 with phosphanes (L) under mild conditions affords the complexes [Fe₂(CO)₅(NO)L(μ‐P^tBu₂)], L = PPh₃, ( 3a ); η‐dppm (dppm = Ph₂PCH₂PPh₂), ( 3b ). In this case the phosphane substitutes one carbonyl ligand at the iron tetracarbonyl fragment in 2 , which was confirmed by the X‐ray crystal structure analysis of 3a . In solution 3b loses one CO ligand very easily to give dppm as bridging ligand on the Fe‐Fe bond. The thus formed compound [Fe₂(CO)₄(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4 ) occurs in solution in different solvents and over a wide temperature range as a mixture of the two isomers [Fe₂(μ_sb‐CO)(CO)₃(NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4a ) and [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐NO)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 4b ). 4a was unambiguously characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis while 4b was confirmed both by NMR investigations in solution as well as by means of DFT calculations. Furthermore, the spontaneous reaction of [Fe₂(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 5 ) with NO at —60 °C in toluene yields a complicated mixture of products containing [Fe₂(μ‐CO)(CO)₄(μ‐H)(μ‐P^tBu₂)(μ‐dppm)] ( 6 ) as main product beside the isomers 4a and 4b occuring in very low yields.

The silylated triphosphanes at ?70°C in toluene with CBr₄ may yield X₂P? P?P(Br)Y₂ and X₂P? P(Br)? PY₂, and the lithiated phosphides with MeCl may yield X₂P? P?P(Me)Y₂ and X₂P? P(Me)? PY₂ depending on X and Y. The bromiated product of 5 (X₂ = ⁱPr₂, Y₂ = ^tBu₂) is the ylide ⁱPr₂P? P?P(Br)^tBu₂, and the methylated derivatives of 6 are both ⁱPr₂P? P?P(Me)^tBu₂, ^tBu₂P?

P?P(Me)^tBu₂ and the methylated triphosphane from 10 . Compound 14 (X₂ = ^tBu₂, Y₂ = (NEt₂)₂ gives rise to the brominated ylide ^tBu₂)P? P?P(Br) · (NEt₂)₂ and to the brominated triphosphane, and on methylation to ^tBu₂P? P?P(Me)(NEt₂)₂ and to ^tBu₂P? P(Me)? P · (NEt₂)₂ (main product). The Br substituted derivatives decompose already on warming to ?30°C, while the methylated compounds are stable up to 20°C.

Synthesis and Structures of Sr₆P₈ Polyhedra in Mixed Phosphanides/Phosphandiides of Strontium The strontiation of H₂PSiⁱPr₃ ( 1 ) with (THF)₂Sr[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ in THF yields colorless tetrakis(tetrahydrofuran‐O)strontium bis(triisopropylsilylphosphanide) ( 3 ). The central alkaline earth metal atom has an octahedral environment with the phosphanide ligands in trans position. The homometalation in toluene leads to the elimination of 1 and THF. Cooling of this solution gives crystals of colorless tetrakis(tetrahydrofuran‐O)hexastrontium‐tetrakis(triisopropylsilylphosphanide)‐tetrakis(triisopropylsilylphosphandiide) ( 4 ). The equimolar reaction of H₂PSi^tBu₃ ( 2 ) with (THF)₂Sr[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ in toluene yields in the first step heteroleptic dimeric {(Me₃Si)₂NSr(THF)₂[P(H)Si^tBu₃]}₂ ( 5 )₂. This compounds monomerizes in THF to (Me₃Si)₂N–Sr(THF)₄[P(H)Si^tBu₃] ( 6 ), which forms an equilibrium with the homoleptic dismutation products (THF)₂Sr[N(SiMe₃)₂]₂ and (THF)₄Sr[P(H)Si^tBu₃]₂ ( 7 ).

P = P(R)^tBu₂ a and (^tBu₂)₂PR b (with R = Me, Et, ⁿPr, ⁱPr, ⁿBu, PhCH₂, H₂C = CH?

In 2 a and 2 b , each of the Co(CO)₃ units is η²‐coordinated to the terminal P₂ units resulting in the cis‐ and trans‐configurations 2 a and 2 b . 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnnm (No. 58) with a = 879,41(5), b = 1199,11(8), c = 1773,65(11) pm. 2 a crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n (No. 14) with a = 875,97(5), b = 1625,36(11), c = 2117,86(12) pm, β = 91,714(7)°. 2 b crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1 (No. 2) with a = 812,00(10), b = 843,40(10), c = 1179,3(2) pm, α = 100,92(2)°, β = 102,31(2)°, γ = 102,25(2)°.     

Der thermische Zerfall des tBu2P?PP(Me)tBu2

The Thermal Decomposition of ^tBu₂P? P?P(Me)^tBu₂ The thermal decomposition of ^tBu₂P? P?P(Me)^tBu₂ 2 in C₆H₆ at 20°C is detectable after 10 h; ^tBu₂PMe, (^tBu₂P)₂PH and small amounts of the cyclotetraphosphanes P₄(P^tBu₂)₄ and P₄(P^tBu₂)₂ are formed. At 70°C (14 h) 83% of 2 are decomposed, and even 96% after 74 h. The main products are ^tBu₂PMe (68%) and P₄(P^tBu₂)₄ (20%). With 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene as a trapping reagent ^tBu₂PMe (62%) is still the main product, however, P₄(P^tBu₂)₄ is no longer found, but 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)-4,5-dimethyl-1,2-diphosphacyclohexene-4 (22%) is formed instead. Also with cyclohexene ^tBu₂PMe (78%) remains the major product besides P₄(P^tBu₂)₄ (9%) and small amounts of the trapping product 7-di-tert-butylphosphino-7-phosphabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane. Thus, the thermal decomposition of 2 at 70°C proceeds very similar to that of ^tBu₂P? P?P(Br)^tBu₂ at ?30°C and starts yielding and the phosphinophosphinidene ^tBu₂P? P. In CH₂Cl₂ the decomposition of 2 includes the chlorination of the ylidic molecule.     

Synthese und Charakterisierung eines neuen gemischten Titan–Aluminium-Alkoxids

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Novel Titanium–Aluminium Alkoxide The novel Ti-Al-Alkoxide TiAl₂(OⁱPr)₁₀, was synthesized from aluminium turnings and titanium tetraisopropoxide in 2-propanol and isolated by subsequent fractionating distillation. Colourless prismatic crystals precipitated after 24 h at 20°C from the main fraction. They proved very moisture sensitive. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinc space group C2/c (no. 15) with a = 2303.1(4), b = 1097.2(3), c = 1685.0(3) pm, β = 104.32(1)° and Z = 4. The molecular structure exhibits a bent Al-Ti-Al′ unit, in which Al shows tetrahedral, but Ti octahedral¹ coordination. The polyhedra are connected via cis-edges of the octahedron. The structure of the compound in solution was determined by NMR spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, COSY) and proved to be identical to the structure in the solid state.     

Synthese und Eigenschaften der Di‐tert‐butylphosphide [M(PtBu2)2]2 (M = Zn,Hg) und [Cu(PtBu2)]4

Syntheses and Properties of Di‐tert‐butylphosphides [M(PtBu₂)₂]₂ (M = Zn, Hg) and [Cu(PtBu₂)]₄ The phosphides [M(PtBu₂)₂]₂ (M = Zn, Hg) and [Cu(PtBu₂)]₄ are accessible from reaction of LiPtBu₂ with ZnI₂, HgCl₂ and CuCl, respectively. [M(PtBu₂)₂]₂ (M = Zn, Hg) are dimers in the solid state. X‐ray structural analyses of these phosphides reveal that [M(PtBu₂)₂]₂ (M = Zn, Hg) contain four‐membered M₂P₂‐rings whereas [Cu(PtBu₂)]₄ features a planar eight‐membered Cu₄P₄‐ring. Degradation reaction of LiPtBu₂(BH₃) in the presence of HgCl₂ results in the dimeric phosphanylborane BH₃ adduct [tBu₂PBH₂(BH₃)]₂. X‐ray quality crystals of [tBu₂PBH₂(BH₃)]₂ (monoclinic, P2₁/n) are obtained from a pentane solution at 6 °C. According to the result of the X‐ray structural analysis, the O₂‐oxidation product of [Hg(PtBu₂)₂]₂, [Hg{OP(O)(tBu)OPtBu₂}(μ‐OPtBu)]₂, features in the solid state structure two five‐membered HgP₂O₂‐rings and a six‐membered Hg₂P₂O₂‐ring. Herein the spiro‐connected Hg atoms are member of one five‐membered and of the six‐membered ring.
