Inhaltsübersicht. Triorganoantimon- und Triorganobismutdicarboxylate R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)ⁿ-2-C₄H₃X]₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 0, X = O, S, NH, NCH₃. M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) wurden durch Reaktionen von R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) bzw. R₃BiCO₃ mit den entsprechenden fünfgliedrigen heterocyclischen Carbonsäuren 2-C₄H₃X(CH₂)_nCOOH dargestellt. Auf der Basis schwingungsspektroskopischer Daten wird für alle Verbindungen eine trigonal bipyramidale Umgebung vom M (zwei O-Atome von einzähnigen Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen, drei C-Atome von R in den äquatorialen Positionen) vorgeschlagen, ferner eine schwache Wechselwirkung zwischen O(=C) jeder Carboxylatgruppe und M. Die Kristallstrukturbestimmung von (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₃ stützt diesen Vorschlag. Die Verbindung kristallisiert triklin [Raumgruppe P$1; a = 891,8(14), b = 1058,2(12), c = 1435,6(9) pm, α = 68,53(8), β = 85,47(9), γ = 85,99(11)°; Z = 2; d(ber.) = 1,607 Mg m^–3; V(Zelle) = 1255,6 ų; Strukturbestimmung anhand von 3947 unabhängigen Reflexen (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(ungewichtet) = 0,037]. Sb bindet drei C₆H₅-Gruppen in der äquatorialen Ebene [mittlerer Abstand Sb–C: 211,1(5)pm] und zwei einzähnige Carboxylatliganden in den apikalen Positionen einer verzerrten trigonalen Bipyramide [mittlerer Abstand Sb–O: 212,0(4) pm]. Aus den relativ kurzen Sb – O(=C)-Abständen [274,4(4) und 294,9(4) pm] und aus der Aufweitung des dem O(=C)-Atom nächsten äquatorialen C–Sb–C-Winkels auf 145,9(2)° [andere C-Sb-C-Winkel: 104,4(2), 109,5(2)°] wird auf schwache Sb–O(=C)-Koordination geschlossen. Schließlich wird eine Korrelation zwischen dem (+, –)I-Effekt des Organoliganden R an M (M = Sb, Bi) und der Stärke der M–O(=C)-Koordination in den Dicarboxylaten R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ vorgeschlagen. Triorganoanümony and Triorganobismuth Derivatives of Carbonic Acids of Five-membered Heterocycles. Crystal and Molecular Structure of (C₆H₅)₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ Triorganoantimony- and triorganobismuth dicarboxylates R₃M[O₂C(CH₂)_n–2-C₄H₃X]₂ (M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁, C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃C₆H₄; n = 0, X = O, S, NH, NCH₃. M = Sb, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Bi, R = C₆H₅; n = 1, X = O, S. M = Sb, R = C₆H₁₁, n = 1, X = S; R = 4-FC₆H₄, n = 0, X = O, S, NCH₃; R = 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂, n = 0, X = O, S, NH) have been prepared by reaction of R₃Sb(OH)₂ (R = CH₃, C₆H₁₁; 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂), R₃SbO (R = C₆H₅, 4-CH₃OC₆H₄, 4-FC₆H₄) or R₃BiCO₃ with the appropriate five-membered heterocyclic carboxylic acid. From vibrational data for all compounds a trigonal bipyramidal environment around M (two O atoms of unidendate carboxylate ligands in apical, three C atoms (of R) in equatorial positions) is proposed and also an additional weak interaction of O(=C) of each carboxylate group and M. The crystal structure determination of Ph₃Sb(O₂C–2-C₄H₃S)₂ gives additional prove to this proposal. It crystallizes triclinic [space group P$1; a = 891.8(14), b = 1058.2(12), c = 1435.6(9) pm, α = 68.53(8), β = 85.47(9), γ = 85.99(11)°; Z = 2; d(calc.) = 1.607 Mg m^–3; V_cell = 1255.6 ų; structure determination from 3 947 independent reflexions (F_o > 3σ(F²_o)), R(unweighted) = 0.037]. Sb is bonding to three C₆H₅ groups in the equatorial plane [mean distance Sb–C: 211.1(5) pm] and two unidentate carboxylate ligands in the apical positions of a distorted trigonal bipyramid [mean distance Sb–O: 212.0(4) pm]. From the relatively short Sb–O(=C) distances [274.4(4) and 294.9(4) pm] and from the enlarged value of the equatorial C–Sb–C angle next to the O(=C) atom [145.9(2)°; other C–Sb–C angles: 104.4(2), 109.5(2)°] additional weak Sb–O(=C) coordination is inferred. Finally a correlation between the (+, –) I-effect of the organic ligands It at M and the strength of the M–O = C interaction is suggested.     

Massenspektrometrische Untersuchungen an Organophosphorverbindungen. II—Elektronenstoßinduzierte Fragmentierungen von Tetraorganodiphosphandisulfiden

The behaviour under electron impact (70 eV) which includes some rearrangement processes of some tetraorganodiphosphanedisulfides R₂P(S)-P(S)R₂ (R ? CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₃H₇, n-C₄H₉, C₃H₅, C₆H₅) and CH₃RP(S)–P(S)CH₃R (R ? C₂H₅, n-C₃H₇, n-C₄H₉, C₆H₅, C₆H₅, C₆H₅,CH₂) is reported and discussed. Fragmentation patterns which are consistent with direct analysis of daughter ions and defocusing metastable spectra are given. The atomic composition of many of the fragment ions was determined by precise mass measurements. In contrast to compounds R₃P(S) loss of sulphur is not a common process here. The first step in the fragmentation of these compounds is cleavage of one P–C bond and loss of a substituent R?. The second step is elimination of RPS leading to [R₂PS]⁺ from which the base peaks in nearly all the spectra arise. The phenyl substituted compounds give spectra with very abundant [(C₆H₅)₃P]^+. and [(C₆H₅)₂CH₃P]^+. ions respectively, resulting from [M]^+. by migration of C₆H₅. Rearrangement of [M]^+. to a 4-membered P-S ring system prior to fragmentation is suggested.     

Synthese von Fluoro-λ5-monophosphazenen und Fluoro-1, 3-diaza-2λ5, 4λ5-diphosphetidinen mittels der Staudinger-Reaktion

Synthesis of Fluoro-λ⁵-monophosphazenes and Fluoro-1,3-diaza-2λ⁵,4λ⁵-diphosphetidines by Means of the Staudinger Reaction 35 Tetrafluoro- and 2 difluorodiaza-diphosphetidines as well as 4 difluoro- and 30 monofluoro-λ⁵-monophosphazenes were prepared by the Staudinger reaction between tervalent phosphorus fluorides, R_nPF_3?n (n = 1, 2; R = R₂N, (CH₂)₅N, O(CH₂)₄N, RO, (CH₂O)₂, alkyl, aryl) and phenylazides, X? C₆H₄N₃ (X = H, 4-CH₃, 4-Cl, 4-Br, 4-NO₂, 3-NO₂). PF₃ does not react with phenylazide The influence of substituents on the structure of the reaction products is discussed. Kinetic measurements allowed to determine the constants λ^P_I of the substituents (CH₂)₅N, O(CH₂)₄N and R(C₆H₅)N (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, n-C₄H₉).     

Organozin- und organobleiderivate von N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glycin

Organotin and organolead derivatives of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)glycine (HDNG), R₃MDNG (M = Sn, Pb; R = CH₃, C₆H₅) and (C₆H₅)₂Pb(DNG)₂, have been prepared from R₃MOH or [(C₆H₅)₂PbO]_n and HDNG, respectively. (CH₃)₃PbDNG was also obtained from (CH₃)₃PbBr and TlDNG. According to spectroscopic data R₃M groups in R₃MDNG are essentially planar and are bridged by bidentate carboxylate groups of DNG. NH does not coordinate to M. Penta-coordination is also indicated by Mössbauer data of R₃SnDNG. Also for (C₆H₅)₂Pb(DNG)₂ a chain structure but with hexacoordination of Pb is proposed. The compounds are monomeric in solution.

Metal Complexes of Biologically Important Ligands, CLVII [1] Halfsandwich Complexes of Isocyanoacetylamino acid esters and of Isocyanoacetyldi‐ and tripeptide esters (?Isocyanopeptides”?) N‐Isocyanoacetyl‐amino acid esters CNCH₂C(O) NHCH(R)CO₂CH₃ (R = CH₃, CH(CH₃)₂, CH₂CH(CH₃)₂, CH₂C₆H₅) and N‐isocyanoacetyl‐di‐ and tripeptide esters CNCH₂C(O)NHCH(R¹)C(O)NHCH(R²)CO₂C₂H₅ and CNCH₂C(O)NHCH(R¹)C(O)NHCH (R²)C(O)NHCH(R³)CO₂CH₃ (R¹ = R² = R³ = CH₂C₆H₅, R² = H, CH₂C₆H₅) are available by condensation of potassium isocyanoacetate with amino acid esters or peptide esters. These isocyanides form with chloro‐bridged complexes [(arene)M(Cl)(μ‐Cl)]₂ (arene = Cp*, p‐cymene, M = Ir, Rh, Ru) in the presence of Ag[BF₄] or Ag[CF₃SO₃] the cationic halfsandwich complexes [(arene)M(isocyanide)₃]⁺X^?

Darstellung und eigenschaften von substituierten mangan—carbonyl-komplexen mit funktionellen SH-gruppen am liganden

Novel substitution products of bromopentacarbonylmanganese with functional SH groups at the phosphine ligand are obtained by reaction of the phosphine sulphides R₂P(S)H (R = CH₃, C₂H₅, C₆H₅) with BrMn(CO)₅. The presence of SH groups is detected not only chemically by S-methylation with CH₂N₂ but also ¹H NMR, mass and IR spectroscopically.     

Derivate des borabenzols: XVI. (Borinato)(cyclobutadien)cobalt-komplexe mit tetramethyl- und tetraphenylcyclobutadien-liganden. Synthese,elektrophile aromatische substitution und ringgliedsubstitution am borinato-liganden

The preparation of (borinato)(cyclobutadiene)cobalt complexes from the reactions of Co(C₅H₅BR)(1,5-C₈H₁₂) with acetylenes C₂R′₂ and of [C₄(CH₃)₄]Co(CO)₂I with Tl(C₅H₅BR) (R,R′ = CH₃, C₆H₅) is described.In electrophilic substitution reactions Co(C₅H₅BCH₃)[C₄(CH₃)₄] (IVa) is more reactive than ferrocene. CF₃CO₂D effects H/D-exchange in the α-position of the borabenzene ring within a few minutes at ambient temperature and in the γ-position within less than four hours Friedel-Crafts acetylation with CH₃COCl/AsCl₃ in CH₂Cl₂ affords the 2-acetyl and the 2,6-diacetyl derivative of IVa. With the more active catalyst AlCl₃, ring-member substitution is effected to give cations [Co(arene)C₄(CH₃)₄]⁺ (arene = C₆H₅CH₃, 2-CH₃C₆H₄COCH₃). Vilsmeier formylation gives the 2-formyl derivative of IVa. The acyl derivatives Co(2-R¹CO-6-R²C₅H₃BCH₃)[C₄(CH₃)₄] (R¹ = CH₃, R² = H, CH₃CO and R¹ = R² = H) transform to the corresponding cations [Co(ortho-R¹R²C₆H₄)C₄(CH₃)₄]⁺ in superacidic media. The mechanistic relationship between acylation and ring-member substitution is discussed in detail.

Stable 1/1 complexes have been obtained from the ylides methylene, ethylidene and isobutylidene triphenylphosphorane with CuCl, and from (C₆H₅)₃-P=CH₂ and AgCl. In these organometallic compounds of copper and silver the ylides are attached to the metal through the carbanionic donor atom. A cubane-type structure is proposed for the oligomers of the general formula [(C₆H₅)₃-PCHR·MCl]_n, (M = Cu, Ag; R = H, CH₃, CH(CH₃)

The in vitro antibacterial activity of selected compounds is also reported.     

Vinylierung und 91Zr-NMR-Spektren von Substituierten Zirconocendichloriden

Vinylation and ⁹¹Zr N.M.R. Spectra of substituted Zirconocene Dichlorides Substituted zirconocene dichlorides react with vinyl lithium with formation of zirconacyclopent-2-enes, Cp₂ZrCH = CHCH₂CH₂, or zirconocene butadiene complexes, Cp₂Zr(C₄H₆). The compounds obtained were characterized by their ¹H and ¹³C n.m.r. spectra. The ⁹¹Zr n.m.r. chemical shifts of substituted zirconocene dichlorides correlate with the bond angles Cp′? Zr? Cp′ and Cl? Zr? Cl respectively. They can be used to estimate the reaction behaviour of zirconocene dichlorides.

The compounds were characterized with chemical and thermal methods as well as by means of electron absorption, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H and ¹³C), and mass spectra. Attempts to synthesize N-thioformyl dithiocarbamic acid were not successful.     

Investigations on organotin,organolead, lead(IV), and lead(II) dithiolates

Bis(triorganometal) 1,2-dithiolates (R₃M)₂S₂R′ [(HS)₂R′ = C₇H₈S₂ for toluene-dithiol-3,4 (H₂TDT); M = Sn, Pb; R = Ph; or (HS)₂R′ = C₁₀H₁₄S₂ for 1,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis(mercaptomethyl)benzene (H₂DBB); M = Sn, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Pb, R = C₆H₅], diorganometal 1,2-dithiolates R₂MS₂R′ [(HS)₂R′ = C₆H₆S₂ for 1,2-dimercaptobenzene (H₂DMB); M = Pb, R = CH₃, C₂H₅, C₆H₅; or (HS)₂R′ = H₂TDT; M = Sn, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Pb, R = C₆H₅; or (HS)₂R′ = H₂DBB; M = Sn, R = CH₃, C₆H₅; M = Pb, R = CH₃, C₂H₂, C₆H₅; or (HS)₂R′ = C₈H₆N₂S₂ for 2,3-dimercaptoquinoxaline (H₂QDT); M = Pb, R = C₆H₅] and some lead(IV) and lead(II) dithiolates Pb(S₂R′)_n [(HS)₂R′ = H₂DMB, n = 2; (HS)₂R′ = H₂TDT, n = 2; (HS)₂R′ = H₂DBB, n = 1 or 2] have been prepared. Vibrational, ¹H NMR, and Mössbauer spectroscopic data are consistent with pentacoordination of tin in R₂SnTDT and with tetracoordination of tin in R₂SnS₂R′ and (R₃Sn)₂S₂R′ in the solid state. The soluble compounds are monomeric in solution. Coupling constants for the methyltin compounds indicate tetracoordination in solution.     

Zur Kenntnis von Tribenzylzinn- und Tribenzyltitancyclopentadienyl

About Tribenzyltin- and Tribenzyltitaniumcyclopentadienyl The organocerium(III) compound Na(THF)[(π-C₅H₅)₃Ce(σ-C₅H₅)] ( I ) reacts with (C₆H₅CH₂)₃SnCl and (C₆H₅CH₂)₃TiCl after a S_N-reaction under separation of Nacl and (C₅H₅)₃Ce to tribenzyltin- resp.-titaniumcyclopentadienyl (C₆H₅CH₂)₃MC₅H₅ [M = Sn, ( II ); Ti, ( III )]. A special characterization of II and III was carried out by their elementary analysis, I.R. spectroscopy and ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn N.M.R. spectroscopy. These results allow the statement that II and III are better to be described by the formulae (C₆H₅CH₂)₃Sn(σ-C₅H₅) and (C₆H₅CH₂)₃Ti(π-C₅H₅), respectively.     

A DFT study of hydride transfers to the carbonyl oxygen of DDQ

Hydride‐transfer reactions between benzylic substrates and 2,3‐dichloro‐5,6‐dicyano‐1,4‐benzoquinone (DDQ) were investigated by DFT (density functional theory) calculations. The lowest unoccupied molecular orbital of DDQ has the largest extension on two carbonyl oxygens, which comes from two‐step mixing of antisymmetric orbitals of fragment π MOs. Transition‐state (TS) geometries and activation energies of reactions of four benzylic substrates R²? CH₂‐para‐C₆H₄? R¹ (R¹, R² = H and/or OCH₃) with DDQ were calculated. M06‐2X/6‐311(+*)G* was found to be a practical computational method, giving energies and geometries similar to those of M06‐2X/6‐311++G(3df,2pd) and wB97xD/6‐311++G(3df,2pd). For toluene (R¹ = R² = H), an initiation‐propagation model was suggested, and the calculated kinetic isotope effect k(H)/k(D) = 5.0 with the tunnel correction at the propagating step is in good agreement with the experimental value 5.2. A reaction of para‐MeO? C₆H₄? CH₂(OMe) + DDQ + (H₂O)₁₄ → para‐MeO? C₆H₄? C(?O)H + HOMe + DDQH₂ + (H₂O)₁₃ was investigated by M06‐2X/6‐311(+*)G*. Four elementary processes were found and the hydride transfer (TS1) is the rate‐determining step. The hydride transfer was promoted by association with the water cluster. The size of the water cluster, (H₂O)_n, at TS1 was examined. Three models of n = 14, 20, and 26 were found to give similar activation energies. Metal‐free neutral hydride transfers from activated benzylic substrates to DDQ were proposed to be ready processes both kinetically and thermodynamically. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reaction of Trimethylsilylethers of Unsaturated Alcohols with Schwartz Reagent – Stabilisation of Cyclic Zirconiumorganic Compounds by the Moiety Cp₂ZrH₂ Besides the normal product of hydrozirconation the reaction of allyltrimethylsilylethers CH₂? CHC(R¹R²)OSi(CH₃)₃ ( I : R¹ = R² = H, VIII : R¹ = R² = CH₃, X : R¹ = H, R² = CH₃) with Cp₂Zr(H)Cl yields, as a result of a hydrogenation of the Si? O bond, trimethylsilane and a series of compounds with a Zr? O bond. Depending on the substitution of the α-C atom either dimeric chelates ( III ) or binuclear complexes of the type Cp₂Zr(Cl)CH₂CH₂C(R¹R²)OZr(Cl)Cp₂ ( IX : R¹ = R² = CH₃; XII : R¹ = H, R² = CH₃) are formed. Starting with X and excess Cp₂Zr(H)Cl the binuclear compound XIII is obtained which may be considered as an adduct of Cp₂ZrH₂ to the unsaturated chelate Compound XVII with a structure analogous to XIII is synthesized by the reaction of IX with Cp₂ZrH₂. The ¹H-NMR spectrum is in accordance with the existence of cis-trans-isomers of this complex.     

Untersuchungen an Alkylmetallalkoxiden der Elemente Aluminium,Gallium und Indium. III. Eigenschaften und Schwingungsspektren von Dialkylgallium- und Indiumalkoxiden

Studies on Alkyl Metal Alkoxides of Aluminium, Gallium, and Indium. III. Properties and Vibrational Spectra of Dialkylgallium- and Indium Alkoxides The preparation and the properties of dialkyl metal alkoxides R₂MOR′ (with R = CH₃, CD₃, C₂H₅; R′ = CH₃, CD₃ and M = Ga, In) are described.

Metallocenylborane III. Darstellung und eigenschaften von ferrocenyl- und cymantrenylboranen

Ferrocene, cymantrene and methylcymantrene react with BI₃, BBr₃, C₆H₅BI₂ and CH₃BI₂ in boiling CS₂ or C₆H₁₂ forming air-sensitive metallocenylhaloboranes. The direct dichloroborylation is only possible with ferrocene. Starting from metallocenyliodoboranes the corresponding substituted metallocenylboranes are obtained by halogen exchange with AsF₃ or AsCl₃, by methylation with Sn(CH₃)₄, by ether cleavage of (C₂H₅)₂O, by redox reaction with (CH₃S)₂ and by reaction with R₂NH. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra indicate that in contrast to cymantrenylhaloboranes, in ferrocenylhaloboranes the 3,4-protons are more deshielded than the 2,5-protons. The metallocenylboranes, isoelectronic with α-metallocenylcarbenium ions, are weaker Lewis acids than phenylboranes; they form donor-acceptor compounds with pyridine and dimethylsulfane, respectively.     

Mass spectrometry of π-complexes of transition metals : XVII. Ionm̄olecule reaction products in mass spectra of mixtures of π-cyclopentadienyl- and π-arenemetal carbonyls with aromatic and heterocyclic compounds

Ion—molecule reactions occur in the ionization chamber of a mass spectrometer during the combined vaporization of arenechromium tricarbonyls (ArCr(CO)₃, Ar = C₆H₆, C₆H₅Cl, C₆H₅N(CH₃)₂, C₄H₄S, C₄H₄Se) and cyclopentadienylmetal carbonyls (C₅H₄RM(CO)_n, M and R = Mn, H;Mn, Cl; Mn, Br; Mn, COCH₃; Re, H; V, H) with various aromatic and heterocyclic compounds (L). In all cases secondary ions of sandwich type [ArCrL]⁺ or [C₅H₄RML]⁺ containing a new metalligand bond are formed.     

Synthesis of novel zirconium complexes bearing mono‐Cp and tridentate Schiff base [ONO] ligands and their catalytic activities for olefin polymerization

A series of novel zirconium complexes {R²Cp[2‐R¹‐6‐(2‐CH₃OC₆H₄N?CH)C₆H₃O]ZrCl₂ ( 1 , R¹ = H, R² = H, 2 : R¹ = CH₃, R² = H; 3 , R¹ = ^tBu, R² = H; 4 , R¹ = H, R² = CH₃; 5 , R¹ = H, R² = n‐Bu)} bearing mono‐Cp and tridentate Schiff base [ONO] ligands are prepared by the reaction of corresponding lithium salt of Schiff base ligands with R²CpZrCl₃·DME. All complexes were well characterized by ¹H NMR, MS, IR and elemental analysis. The molecular structure of complex 1 was further confirmed by X‐ray diffraction study, where the bond angle of Cl? Zr? Cl is extremely wide [151.71(3)°]. A nine‐membered zirconoxacycle complex Cp(O? 2? C₆H₄N?CHC₆H₄‐2? O)ZrCl₂ ( 6 ) can be obtained by an intramolecular elimination of CH₃Cl from complex 1 or by the reaction of CpZrCl₃·DME with dilithium salt of ligand. When activated by excess methylaluminoxane (MAO), complexes 1–6 exhibit high catalytic activities for ethylene polymerization. The influence of polymerization temperature on the activities of ethylene polymerization is investigated, and these complexes show high thermal stability. Complex 6 is also active for the copolymerization of ethylene and 1‐hexene with low 1‐hexene incorporation ability (1.10%). Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
