Theoretical study on the isomeric structures and the stability of silylenoid (Tsi)Cl2SiLi (Tsi = C(SiMe3)3)

The structures and isomerization of silylenoid (Tsi)Cl(2)SiLi (Tsi = C(SiMe(3))(3)) were studied by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. Four equilibrium structures and three isomeric transition states were located. The three-membered ring and p-complex structures, 1 and 2, are the two most stable forms. Two other local minima, the sigma-complex 3 and tetrahedron structure 4, should rearrange to 1 with very low barriers, and then to the most stable isomer 2. To exploit further the stability of silylenoid (Tsi)Cl(2)SiLi, the insertion reactions of 2 and silylene (Tsi)ClSi into the HF molecule have been investigated at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level, respectively. The results show that the insertion of 2 into HF is very similar to that of (Tsi)ClSi into HF, but the latter is more favorable. To probe the influence of the substituent Tsi on the stability of silylenoid (Tsi)Cl(2)SiLi, the isomers and insertion reaction of silylenoid CH(3)Cl(2)SiLi were investigated in a similar way of those with (Tsi)Cl(2)SiLi. The results indicate that silylenoid containing very bulky group Tsi exhibits unusual stability because of the severe steric hindrance produced by Tsi at the center to which it is attached.     

Crystal Structures and Spectroscopy of Anti-2,4-bis（3-R-phenyl）pentane-2,4-diols （R = Me, SMe）

Two anti-2,4-bis(3-R-phenyl)pentane-2,4-diols (1, R = Me; 2, R = SMe) have been synthesized and were characterized by X-ray diffraction, IR and UV spectra. X-ray diffractions indicate that intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions form one-dimensional (1D) ribbons. The adjacent infinite 1D ribbons result in 3D supramolecular structures. The dihedral angles between every two benzene rings in the two diols are 31.61(12) and 31.80(7)°, respectively. UV absorption spectra of the title compounds were recorded in MeOH, C2H5OH, CH3CN, n-BuOH and cyclohexane solvents with different dielectric constants.

Similarly, phosphenium complexes [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂M=P(H)tBu] (M = W ( 6 ); Mo ( 8 )) were converted into (M = W ( 11 ); Mo ( 12 )) by the formal abstraction of the phosphanediyl [PtBu] from 1a . Treatment of [(η⁵‐C₅H₅)(CO)₂W=P(Ph)N(SiMe₃)₂] ( 4 ) with HP=C(NMe₂)₂ ( 1d ) gave rise to the formation of yellow crystalline ( 10 ). The products were characterized by elemental analyses and spectra (IR, ¹H, ¹³C‐, ³¹P‐NMR, MS). The molecular structure of compound 10 was elucidated by an X‐ray diffraction analysis.     

Raman spectra and molecular dynamics of R2NPX2 (R=Me and Et; X=F, Cl, and Br)

New air-stable fullerides, (Ph₄P)₂C₆₀Hal (Hal=Br or I) and (Ph₄As)₂C₆₀Cl, were synthesized, and their crystal structure were determined. A comparative crystal-chemical analysis of the fullerides under study demonstrated that they are isostructural, described by the general formula (Ph₄X)₂C₆₀Hal (X=P or As, and Hal=Cl, Br, or I), and crystallize in the triclinic system. The C₆₀ ⁻ and Hal⁻ anions occupy special centrosymmetric positions. The (Ph₄P)⁺ and (Ph₄As)⁺ cations occupy general positions. The principal parameters of the molecular structures are reported.

A series of titanium(IV) complexes Ti(O‐i‐Pr)Cl₃(THF)(PhCOR) (R = H ( 1 ), CH₃ ( 2 ), or Ph ( 3 )) is prepared quantitatively from reactions of [Ti(O‐i‐Pr)Cl₂(THF)(μ‐Cl)]₂ with 2 molar equiv. PhCOR. Treatment of Ti(O‐i‐Pr)Cl₃ with 2 molar equiv. of PhCOR affords the disubstituted complexes Ti(O‐i‐Pr)Cl₃(PhCOR)₂ (R = CH₃ ( 4 ) or Ph ( 5 )). The ¹³C NMR study of these complexes shows that the relative bonding abilities are in the order of PhCOCH₃ > PhCHO > PhCOPh. The molecular structure of 5 reveals that one of the benzophenone ligands is trans to the strongest 2‐propoxide ligand with a long Ti‐O(carbonyl) distance of 2.193(5) Å which is much longer than the other Ti‐O(carbonyl) distance of 2.097(4) Å by ?0.1 Å.

Ionization energies of LinX (n = 2, 3; X = Cl, Br, I) molecules

Molecules of Li(n)X (n = 2, 3; X = Cl, Br, I) were examined with a magnetic sector mass spectrometer by surface ionization using a triple rhenium filament impregnated with fullerene (C60).

Synthesis, characterization, and structural studies of mixed-ligand diorganotin esters, [R2Sn(OP(O)(OH)Ph)(OS(O)2R1)]n [R = n-Bu, R1 = Me (1), n-Pr(2); R = Et, R1 = Me (3)] with 1D and 3D coordination polymeric motifs

Mixed-ligand diorganotin esters, [R 2Sn(OP(O)(OH)Ph)(OS(O) 2R (1))] n [R = n-Bu, R (1) = Me ( 1), n-Pr ( 2); R = Et, R (1) = Me ( 3)], have been synthesized by reacting the tin precursors, R 2Sn(OR (1))OS(O) 2R with an equimolar amount of phenylphosphonic acid under mild conditions (room temperature, 6-8 h, CH 2Cl 2). These have been characterized by IR, multinuclear ( (1)H, (13)C{ (1)H}, (31)P, and (119)Sn) NMR, and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The asymmetric unit of 1 is comprised of a tetramer with four crystallographically unique tin atoms. The structure reveals a central eight-membered (Sn-O-S-O) 2 cyclic ring with two exocyclic tin atoms, which results from micro 3-binding of the two methanesulfonate groups. The remaining two sulfonates are monodentate and contribute in O...HO(P) hydrogen bonding. The molecular structure is extended into a 3D coordination polymer with the aid of hydrogenphenylphosphonate group on each tin atom, acting in a micro 2-O 2P mode and forms a series of eight-membered (Sn-O-P-O) 2 rings in the structural framework. 2 and 3 are isostructural and represent linear 1D coordination polymers via micro 2-binding mode of both alkanesulfonate and hydrogenphenylphosphonate groups.

The trigonal bipyramids are surrounded by nine inner Cl^? ligands (capping the nine edges) and by 12 (hexagonal) or 13 (monoclinic) outer ligands and are connected via all of the 21 and 22 ligands, respectively. Special features are Cl^a-a-a (hexagonal) and Cl^a-a-a-a (monoclinic) bridges.
