, 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?

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.

Tris[bis(trimethysilyl)amido]zinkate von Lithium und Calcium

Tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]zincates of Lithium and Calcium Calcium-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] and Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]zinc yield in 1,2-dimethoxyethane quantitatively Calcium-bis{tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)- amido]zincate} · 3DME. When THF is chosen as a solvent, the two reactants and the zincate form a temperature-independent equilibrium, whereas in benzene no reaction occurs. The tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)amido]zincate anion displays characteristic ¹³C{¹H) and ²⁹Si{¹H] chemical shifts of 7 and ?8 ppm, respectively; the nature of the solvent, the cation and the complexating ligands don't influence the IR nor NMR data of the zincate anion and thus verify that [Ca(DME)₃]²⁺ and {Zn[N(SiMe_{3 2}]₃}^? appear as solvent separated ions, which is also confirmed by their insolubility in hydrocarbons.

2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-2,4-disila-cyclo-butylzinc Chloride · TMEDA and Related Compounds The reaction of (tmeda)lithium 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2,4-disila-cyclo-butanide with anhydrous zinc(II) chloride in pentane in the molar ratio of 2:1 does not yield the expected dialkylzinc derivative but the monosubstitution product 2,2,4,4-Tetramethyl-2,4-disila-cyclo-butylzinc chloride · tmeda 1 . This derivative crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 1 235.0(1); b = 1 696.8(2); c = 1 148.0(1) pm and Z = 4. The Zn? C bond lengths lie with 198,4 pm in the characteristic region for compounds containing a tetrahedrally coordinated zinc atom. The thermolysis of 1 leads under elimination of ZnCl₂ to the formation of Bis(2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2,4-disila-cyclo-butyl)zinc · tmeda 2 . (tmeda)LiCH(SiMe₃)₂ reacts analogously with one equivalent of ZnCl₂ to Bis(trimethylsilyl)methylzinc chloride · tmeda 3 . Lithium methanide or Lithium butanide add to a Si-C bond of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-disila-cyclo-butane, and these acyclic lithium alkanides 4 ( a : R = Me, b : R = n-Bu) yield with zinc(II) chloride the destillable dialkyl zinc compounds Bis(2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2,4-disilapentyl)- 5 a and Bis(2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-2,4-disila-octyl)zinc 5 b .     

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)°.     

Heteroleptische Diorganylzink-Verbindungen mit einem Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphanido-Substituenten

Heteroleptic Diorganylzinc Compounds with a Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido Substituent Dialkylzinc ZnR₂ (Me, Et, iso-Pr, nBu, tBu, CH₂SiMe₃) reacts with one equivalent of bis(trimethylsilyl)-phosphine in carbohydrates to the heteroleptic compounds RZnP(SiMe₃)₂; dependent from the steric demand of the alkyl group R the derivatives are dimeric or trimeric in solution as well as in the solid state. Monomeric bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-tris(trimethylsilyl)methylzinc yields from the reaction of lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)methanide and lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide with zinc(II) chloride. Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-methylzinc crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ with {a = 1 007.6(1); b = 1 872.3(3); c = 2 231.0(4) pm; Z = 4} as a trimeric molecule with a central cyclic Zn₃P₃ moiety in the twist-boat conformation. Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-n-butylzinc, that crystallizes in the orthorombic space group Pben with {a = 1 261.7(2); b = 2 253.0(4); c = 1 798.9(2) pm; Z = 4}, shows a simular central Zn₃P₃ fragment. The sterically more demanding trimethylsilylmethyl substituent leads to the formation of a dimeric molecule of bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-trimethylsilylmethylzinc {monoklin, P2₁/c; a = 907.2(4); b = 2 079.8(8), c = 1 070,2(3) pm; β = 103,48(1)°; Z = 2}. Bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphido-iso-propylzinc shows in solution a temperature-dependent equilibrium of the dimeric and trimeric species; the crystalline state contains a 1:1 mixture of these two oligomers {orthorhombisch; Pbca; a = 1 859.0(3); b = 2 470.9(2); c = 3 450.7(3) pm; Z = 8}. The Zn? P bond lengths vary in a narrow range around 239 pm, the Zn? C distances were found between 196 and 203 pm.     

Strontium- und Barium-bis[N,N′ -bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] aus der Additionsreaktion der Erdalkalimetall-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] mit Benzonitril

Strontium and Barium Bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinates] from the Addition Reaction of the Alkaline Earth Metal Bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amides] and Benzonitrile The reaction of strontium bis[bis trimethylsilyl)amide] with benzonitrile yields strontium bis[N,N′- bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · 2THF, which crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn (a = 1845.4(3); b = 131 1,3(2); c = 1838,(3) pm; Z = 4). During the similar reaction of barium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] with benzonitrile the benzonitrile adduct barium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · 2 THF · benzonitrile is formed. After the addition of diphenylacetylene to the strontium di(benzamidinate) in diglyme a clathrate of the composition strontium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · diglyme · diphenylacetylene could be isolated; the spectroscopic data as well as the X-ray structure (monoclinic, C2/c, a = 1492.2(2); b = 1539.1(2); c = 2337.8(3)pm; Z = 4) confirm the isolated appearance of the acetylene molecule without interaction to the metal center in solution and in the solid state, respectively.     

Synthese von Magnesium-bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinat] als Bis(THF)- und Benzonitril-Addukt

Synthesis of Magnesium Bis[N,N′ -bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] as both Bis(THF) and Benzonitrile Adduct Magnesium bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)amide] 1 , reacts with benzonitrile in toluene at room temperature to yield magnesium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate]-benzonitrile(1/1) 2 . Addition of THF leads to a quantitative substitution of the benzonitrile ligand by two THF molecules. The performance of the addition reaction in THF yields magnesium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · THF(1/2) 3 . The upper benzonitrile complex 2 , crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with {a = 1383.2(2); b = 2589.1(4); c = 1133.7(1) pm; Z = 4}. The magnesium atom is coordinated distorted trigonal-bipyramidal, where the benzonitrile ligand lies within the equatorial plane. The axial bound nitrogen atom of the benzamidinate substitution shows with a value of 213 pm a slightly longer bond distance to the metal center than the one in the equatorial plane (210 pm). The steric strain within the benzamidinate ligand leads to an elongation of the silicon atoms out of the 1,3-diazaallylic moiety under an enlargement of the C? N? Si angle to 131°.     

Homo- und heteroleptische Zinkarsanide — Synthese und Struktur

Homo- and Heteroleptic Zinc Arsanides — Syntheses and Structure Bis(trimethylsilyl)arsane reacts with dialkylzinc ZnR₂ (R = Me, Et, CH₂SiMe₃) in the stoichiometric ratio of 1 : 1 in hydrocarbons to the heteroleptic alkyl zink bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanides. The steric demand of the alkyl substituent enforces the oligomerisation degree of two or three. Diethylzinc and two equivalents of HAs(SiMe₃)₂ yield dimeric zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide]. Methyl zinc bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide crystallizes as a trimer with a six-membered Zn₃As₃-cycle in the twist-boat conformation {orthorhombic, P2₁2₁2₁, a = 1 015.3(1), b = 1 887.6(4), c = 2 272.9(4) pm, Z = 4}. The molecule of ethyl zinc bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide is built similar in the solid state {monoclinic, P2₁/n, a = 1 220.2(4), b = 1 889.0(6), c = 1 968.5(6) pm, β = 90.24(1)°, Z = 4}. However, zinc bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)arsanide] separates due to the steric demand of the terminal (Me₃Si)₂As-ligand as a dimer in the triclinic space group P1 {a = 967.8(2), b = 1 088.5(2), c = 1 238.1(2) pm, α = 92.41(1), β = 105.20(1), γ = 105.05(1)°, Z = 2}. The endocyclic zinc-arsenic distances vary only slightly around 248 pm, but the exocyclic one is with a value of 238 pm drastically shorter. The Zn? C bond lengths with values around 197 pm lie in the characteristic region for zinc with the coordination number of three.

An X-ray structure determination (R_w = 0.040) shows the compound to be built up from two [lithium tris(trimethylsilyl)silanide] moieties which are connected via a bridging DME molecule. Two remaining sites of each four-coordinate lithium atom are occupied by a chelating DME ligand. The Li? Si distance of 263 pm is considerably longer than the sum of covalent radii; further characteristic mean bond lengths and angles are: Si? Si 234, Li? O 200, O? C 144, O?O (biß) 264 pm; Si? Si? Si 104°, Li? Si? Si 107° to 126°; O? Li? O (inside the chelate ring) 83°. Unfortunately, di(tert-butyl)bis(trimethylsilyl)silane 17 prepared from di(tert-butyl)dichlorsilane 15 , chlorotrimethylsilane and lithium, does not react with alkyllithium compounds to give the analogous silanide.

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.

The magnesium atom is distorted tetrahedrally surrounded by two oxygen and two phosphorus atoms with Mg? P- and Mg? O-bond lengths of 248.7(2) and 204.7(5) pm, respectively. The phosphorus atom displays a trigonal pyramidal coordination.

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°}.

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.     

Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethan-O,O′)lithium-phosphanid, -arsanid und -chlorid – drei neue Vertreter des Bis(1,2-dimethoxyethan-O,O′)lithium-bromid-Typs

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}.

Metallderivate von Molekülverbindungen. V. Synthese und Struktur von Hexakis{lithium-[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl]tellanid}—Cyclopentan (1/1)

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.     

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.     

Metallierung von Triisopropylsilylarsan durch Bis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium‐bis[tris(trimethylsilylmethyl)zinkat]

Metalation of Triisopropylsilylarsane with Bis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium‐bis[tris(trimethylsilylmethyl)zincate] The transmetalation of bis(trimethylsilylmethyl)zinc with distilled calcium in THF yields bis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium bis[tris‐(trimethylsilylmethyl)zincate] ( 1 ). The trialkylzincate anion appears as a bidentate ligand with Ca‐C‐Zn three‐center‐bonds. The CaC bond lengths show values of 265.5(2) and 271.7(2) pm. The metalation of triisopropylsilylarsane gives tetrakis(tetrahydrofuran)calcium [1, 3‐bis(triisopropylsilylarsanyl)‐2, 4‐bis(triisopropylsilyl)‐1, 3‐dizinca‐2, 4‐diarsacyclobutane‐2, 4‐diide] ( 2 ). The central moiety is a sligthly distorted trigonal As₂CaZn₂ bipyramid with the arsenic atoms in apical positions.

Synthesis and Molecular Structure of Barium Bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] ° DME ° THF Barium bis[N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)benzamidinate] · thf · dme crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 1 122.0(2), b = 2 190.7(4), c = 1 840.2(3) pm, β = 98.04(1)° and Z = 4 containing a metal center in a distorted monocapped trigonal prismatic surrounding. The barium dibenzamidinate moiety is sent with an angle of 120°, although this leads to different Ba? N distances of 273 and 282 pm originating from the interligand repulsion of the trimethylsilyl groups and the dme substituent. The 1,3-diazaallyl fragment with C? N bond lengths of 132 pm shows a delocalisation of the anionic charge.
